  • Patent number: 11014323
    Abstract: A flexible pouch for receiving flowable products that includes a fitment having a spout to allow the flowable products to be discharged from the pouch. The flexible pouch is formed from a top and a bottom web of material. A sealant strip is attached to a top edge of each of the top and bottom webs of material. A fitment having a canoe and spout is positioned such that the canoe is positioned between the first and second sealant strips. The height of the canoe and the width of the first and second sealing strips are the same to minimize the amount of sealant material. The first and second sealant strips are sealed to each other along the entire width of the flexible pouch to entrap the canoe of the fitment between the top and bottom webs.

  • Patent number: 9072414
    Abstract: A dispensing package preferably for containing and dispensing a roll of pre-moistened wipes. The dispensing package includes a standup pouch that defines an open interior for containing the roll of wipes. The standup pouch defines an open top end that receives a dispensing fitment. The dispensing fitment includes a reclosable lid that can be opened and closed to provide access to the open interior of the standup pouch. The dispensing fitment includes an attachment flange used to attach the dispensing fitment to the standup pouch. The attachment flange can be attached to the flexible pouch either through a heat seal or a mechanical attachment. The mechanical attachment can be created through use of a locking ring that entraps the flexible packaging material of the standup pouch between the attachment flange and the locking ring.
