Patent number: 11772841Abstract: A packaging material is provided, comprising a core material layer and at least one polymer layer being laminated thereto. The core material layer is provided with at least one area being configured to assist in folding the packaging material into a bottom end corner of a package to be formed, wherein the packaging material comprises a first set of crease lines being designed to form a bottom end of the package, and a second set of crease lines being designed to form a main body of the package. The at least one area comprises an intersection of a plurality of crease lines, each having a triangular cross-section, while a plurality of crease lines of the first set of crease lines, each having a triangular cross-section and having a virtual extension through the intersection, are terminated such that they end at a distance from the intersection.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2019Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: TETRA LAVAL HOLDINGS & FINANCE S.A.Inventors: Luca Ronchetti, Andrea Giampieri, Marcello Barbieri, Davide Morciano

Patent number: 11667428Abstract: A sheet packaging material for producing a sealed package comprises two first boundary edges parallel to a longitudinal direction and two second boundary edges parallel to a transversal direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction. The sheet packaging material includes at least a bottom transversal crease line including a bottom central portion, a bottom end portion and a bottom side portion. The sheet packaging material includes a pair of slanted crease lines inclined relative to both the longitudinal and transverse directions. The slanted crease lines have first ends pointing to one of the second boundary edges and second ends pointing to a continuous line parallel to the transversal direction and including the bottom central portion and the bottom end portion. The slanted crease lines delimit, with the bottom side portion, a flap area of the sheet packaging material designed to form at least part of a lateral flap of the package.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2019Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: TETRA LAVAL HOLDINGS & FINANCE S.A.Inventors: Marcello Barbieri, Andrea Giampieri, Omar Succi, Carlo Forcellini, Luca Ronchetti, Lorenzo Zagnoli, Davide Morciano

Publication number: 20230137895Abstract: A spout comprises a collar carrying a pouring outlet and an inlet opening for the pourable product and delimiting a flow channel. The collar comprises an inner surface delimiting the flow channel. The inner surface comprises at least a main surface portion and a slanted surface portion. The main and slanted surface portions are such that a first intersection of a first intersection plane with the inner surface results in at least one first one-dimensional curve, a second intersection of a second intersection plane with the inner surface results in at least one second one-dimensional curve. The first and second one-dimensional curves each comprise respective first and second portions lying on respectively the slanted surface portion and the main surface portion. The first one-dimensional curve is superimposable on the second one-dimensional curve such that at least the respective first portions and the respective second portions are superposed.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 1, 2021Publication date: May 4, 2023Applicant: TETRA LAVAL HOLDINGS & FINANCE S.A.Inventors: Davide MORCIANO, Paolo ZANON
