Abstract: A fluid container pouch has first and second opposing side walls forming at least one enclosed chamber between them, each side wall is comprised of a laminate material having at least two layers. A first layer of the laminate is sealant layer for sealing to a sealant layer of an opposed side wall. A second layer of the laminate provides a barrier between the contents of the pouch and its environment. Each of the first and second layers comprises a material having oriented structure, such that energy sufficient to tear the material will be directed in a predetermined direction across the material, and further that the oriented structures of the first and second layers are aligned with each other. At least one design weakness in the pouch operative to direct tearing energy in a direction aligned with the oriented structure of said first and second layers.

Abstract: A fluid container pouch is provided internally with a flexible straw to allow for the convenient and hygienic consumption of the beverage, or storage and use of other fluid materials. The fluid container pouch comprises at least first and second fluid chambers having at least two flow channels for fluid communication between said first and second fluid chambers. At least one of said flow channels comprises a flexible conduit, such as a flexible drinking straw. The fluid container pouch comprises two opposing pliable sidewalls, and the sidewalls are formed of a composite material, such as a polypropylene ply having a barrier layer of aluminum foil, a metalized coating, or polyethylene vinyl alcohol, on at least one side of said polypropylene ply.
