  • Patent number: 6777050
    Abstract: The invention relates to a re-closable packaging featuring a container and a cover. The container features a support layer bearing two opposed faces, the innermost face of which is joined to a complexable layer by optionally deposing the face on an outermost face of an optional bonding layer bearing two opposed faces. The optional bonding layer is placed adjacent to a structure featuring: (1) a complexable layer bearing two opposed faces, the innermost face of the optional bonding layer being placed adjacent to the outermost face of the complexable layer, the innermost face of the complexable layer is placed adjacent to an outermost face of (2) a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer bearing two opposed faces, the innermost face of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is placed adjacent to a first face of (3) a tearable-welding layer bearing two opposed faces.

  • Patent number: 6511723
    Abstract: A multilayer structure, for a re-closable packaging which can be readily and effectively opened and then re-sealed is provided comprising a central pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and two outer layers, one of which is a tearable welding layer, the central adhesive layer comprising two sub-layers and the structure being able to be obtained by collapsing the co-extrusion bubble, together with a packaging comprising at least one tearable film having this symmetrical multilayer structure, and a process for producing the structure and the packaging.

  • Patent number: 6302290
    Abstract: The sealing structure (S) for a container (C) provided with an opening (O) comprises a sheet (F) welded around the edge of the opening, this sheet (F) consisting of at least three layers, namely a welding layer (1) pressed against and welded as a bead (4) to the edge of the opening, a barrier-forming exterior layer (2) and an intermediate adhesive layer (3); the weld between the bead (4) of the welding layer (1) and the edge of the opening has a tear strength greater than the strength of adhesion between the welding layer (1) and the adhesive layer (3) so that, at the first occasion of exposing the opening (O), the welded bead (4) remains in place around the edge of the opening and separates from the rest of the welding layer (1) and from the adhesive layer (3), which adhesive layer is thus uncovered over an area (7) and makes it possible, by pressing again against the bead (4), to seal the container (C) again.
