Publication number: 20230024964Abstract: An insert for a flow wrapped packaging assembly has a bottom wall (18) and a peripheral wall (20) extending from said bottom wall to define an interior volume (21) for containing product (14). The insert has a tongue (20) at a top end of the peripheral wall which is movable between a closed position in which it at least partially closes the interior volume at the top end of the insert and an open position in which it does not impede access to the interior volume. The insert (12) can be top-filled when upright with the tongue open and then moved to a horizontal orientation for flow wrapping using a HFFS process with the tongue closed to prevent the contents spilling out. The insert is particularly suitable for enabling a plurality of disc-shape products, such as beverage pads, to be flow wrapped using HFFS processes.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2020Publication date: January 26, 2023Inventors: Richard John Andrews, Rudolf Gerardus Lanphen, Age Willem Tanja, Cornelis Richardus Van Der Does, Marijn Andreas Geurts
