Abstract: A process for manufacturing a multi-layer packaging film (10) for an easy-open form of packaging (20), having at least one line of perforations (18, 18′) which are provided in a plastic surface layer of the packaging and serve as an aid for alignment of a tear line propagating in the packaging film (10) on tearing open the packaging, is such that the perforations (18, 18′) are cut into a surface layer which is in the form of a film (14) and the said pre-cut film (14) is joined to the other layers (12) to make up a composite film (10).

Abstract: Packaging (10) featuring a tear-off closure with an tearing aid for freeing an opening (34) to remove the contents (32) is such that, at least in the region of the opening, layers of packaging material forming an outer (20) and inner part (22) of the packaging are superimposed, separated or separable from each other. The aid to tearing is arranged on the outer part (20) of the packaging in such a manner that the outer part of the packaging is separated from the inner part of the packaging a distance (a) from the opening and the inner part of the packaging is exposed in the region of the opening. The inner part (22) of the packaging which is revealed on tearing open the packaging is free of germs with the result that the packaging is suitable for consuming drinkable and/or edible contents by mouth directly from the packaging.
