Abstract: Provided is a package sleeve made of a composite material for the manufacture of a package, including: a front surface, a rear surface, two side surfaces, base surfaces and gable surfaces which are arranged on opposite sides of the two side surfaces, the front surface and the rear surface, and a longitudinal seam which connects two edges of the composite material to form a package sleeve. The package sleeve has several fold lines. The two side surfaces have a secondary fold line running therethrough. The package sleeve is folded along both secondary fold lines. The package sleeve is open both in the region of the base surfaces and in the region of the gable surfaces. Also provided are a package and a method for manufacturing a package.

Abstract: A carton sleeve of a composite material for producing a carton is illustrated and described, including: a sleeve area, a longitudinal seam that joins two edges of the composite material to form an all-round carton sleeve, and two pseudo fold lines that pass through the sleeve area, wherein the carton sleeve is folded along both pseudo fold lines. In order to allow the production of cartons with a more complex geometry, it is envisaged that the carton sleeve in the region of the sleeve area has no further or no continuous fold lines apart from the two pseudo fold lines. In addition a carton of such a carton sleeve as well as a method for producing a carton from such a carton sleeve are illustrated and described.

Abstract: Provided is a package sleeve made of a composite material for the manufacture of a package. The package sleeve includes a sleeve surface with an inner partial area and two outer partial areas, a longitudinal seam connecting two edges of the composite material to form a circumferential package sleeve, and two secondary fold lines running through the sleeve surface. The package sleeve is folded along two secondary fold lines. Apart from the two secondary fold lines, the package sleeve does not contain any further continuous fold lines in the region of the inner partial area of the sleeve surface. Also provided are a package and a method for manufacturing a package.

Abstract: A device for shaping closed packages is depicted and described, including: a base plate for supporting the bottom or the gable of the packages, at least two support elements for supporting the side surfaces or the front surface and the rear surface of the packages and at least two sliding elements for shaping the side surfaces or the front surface and the rear surface of the packages wherein the support elements and the sliding elements include at least one shaped surface on their side assigned to the package. In order to also enable a precise shaping of the packages even in the case of closed packages with complex geometry, it is proposed for at least one of the shaped surfaces to be curved at least in sections. A method for shaping closed packages is also depicted and described.

Abstract: The invention relates to a composite card/plastics package comprising a package main body (8) which is provided with a longitudinal seam (6) and having a folded and welded package floor (18) which is provided at one end (16) of the package main body (8), and to a method and apparatus for producing it, in the case of which package the object of specifying a composite card/plastics package which is also suitable for non-liquid products and can moreover be stacked satisfactorily is achieved by arranging at the top end (11) of the package main body (8) a ledge (10) which extends round it and fastening a lid (14/L) to the ledge (10) in such a way that the lid (14/L) is able to be pulled off.
