  • Publication number: 20130209003
    Abstract: A pouch-type packaging for packaging pourable contents and having a front wall and rear wall made from at least one flexible packaging film is such that the front wall and the rear wall are joined together via a sealing seam. The sealing seam is extended in a region bordering a sealing zone oriented away from the sealing edge with a free end furthest removed from the sealing edge. The front wall of the pouch exhibits an outer layer on the side directed towards the outside of the pouch. The outer layer and the part of the front wall of the pouch lying under the outer layer delimit a outlet zone for the contents in an area which encloses the free end of the sealing zone and extends to an edge of the sealing edge. The application of pressure produces a tear in the part of the front wall of the pouch lying under the outer layer in the region of the free end of the sealing zone and the contents enter the outlet zone and emerge from the pouch at the edge of the sealing edge.

  • Publication number: 20120014623
    Abstract: In a flat-ended bag made of a flexible film material, two bag wall parts are connected via two longitudinal seams running substantially in a longitudinal direction (z) to form a bag wall that forms a tubular body and has sealing edge strips projecting from the bag wall. The tubular body is closed at both ends, at least one end of the tubular body has a base part disposed substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (z) and serving as a standing surface, and a resealable opening is provided on at least one end of the tubular body. In order to increase the rigidity of the tubular body, the sealing edge strips are folded over onto the bag wall and sealed or glued to the bag wall.

  • Publication number: 20110147260
    Abstract: With a packaging having a container and a lid peelably sealed onto a flat sealing shoulder of a circumferential container rim, an indentation is formed in a portion of the sealing shoulder thereby creating a cavity covered by the lid, which cavity, after having cut through along a given cut line, is providing a grip portion of the lid as a tear tab for peeling the lid from the sealing shoulder. This lid system is a valuable protection against unauthorized opening and is effective in restraining unauthorized persons from manually opening the package without using a tool.
