Abstract: Proposed for a square flat gable composite packing are a resealable spout element (1) and the manufacture of a flat gable composite packing with such a spout element (1) that eliminate the disadvantage of known spout elements, namely that such packings can no longer be opened once the sealed-on opening aids for initially opening the packing lose their non-positive bond with the packing during transport or as the result of inadequate proposed, with a cap (2), in which an opening element (4) sealing. A resealable spout element (1) is attached to the packing interior can be bonded with the cap (2) to form an undetachable unit by means of a connecting element (5) that penetrates an opening surface present in the packing.

Abstract: The invention concerns a process to cut, perforate, or inscribe repeating patterns in continuously-moving flat material by locally vaporizing the flat material with at least one controllable laser beam from at least one beam deflection system whereby each laser beam is moved relative to the flat material in two perpendicular directions (x and y) from a fixed point, and a device to implement the procedure.

Abstract: A device for the opening and re-closing of packages, more particularly flat, gabled, composite packages. The device consists generally of: a pouring aperture with a pouring nozzle formed thereon; a base having a flange enclosing the pouring aperture, for the attachment of the device to the surface of the container; a cover hinged to the base; and an opening element connected to the cover, the opening element disposed to move in a guide in the cover so that during the opening operation, the opening element pierces the subjacent container material through the pouring aperture in the base. The design is such that the clean opening and re-closing of the device is ensured and the package is tightly sealed. Opening of the package is accomplished by pressing an opening element consisting of a pressure plate and a piercing ring. After opening, the pressure plate remains with the cover, while the piercing ring remains in the base.

Abstract: A process and device are disclosed for perforating and/or partially cutting printed laminated composite materials by means of laser beams from at least one laser arranged in a laser station. In order to minimize equipment costs, in particular for the control of the perforation and/or partial cutting processes, without having to renounce to an exact positioning of the perforations and/or partial cuts, a process is disclosed characterized by the following steps: the laminated composite material web is cut into individual blanks (1) according to the printed image and/or folding pattern; the blanks (1) are transported to the laser station; and the perforations or partial cuts are carried out in the stationary blank (1). Also disclosed are means for carrying out the process.
