Abstract: The invention relates to a package of the type having a container body with four side walls, opposite each other in pairs, and a top end wall which along a lateral edge is joined to the container body through a triangular, double-walled lug. The package, moreover, possesses a sealing fin which extends from the point of the said triangular lug and out over the top end wall. This sealing fin is folded down along at least a portion of its length against the top end wall and is retained in its folded down position. The said sealing fin has one or more cuts or perforations weakening the packing material. The cuts are arranged preferably at right angles to the sealing fin in the material layer of the sealing fin which is nearest to the top end wall in the folded down position of the sealing fin.

Abstract: Parallelepipedic packing containers of the type used as non-returnable packages for milk, etc., are manufactured by the transverse sealing of a packing material tube filled with contents. On sealing and subsequent forming of the packages, on the one hand, sealing fins extending over the end walls of the packing container, on the other hand, triangular corner lugs located on the short sides of the end walls are obtained. The sealing fins as well as the corner lugs are folded down during the forming so as to lie against adjoining container walls.When the packing container is to be opened, one end of the one of the sealing fins is folded up from its folded-down position, whereupon the packing container can be opened in that the packing container material is torn up along a tearing indication running along the fin.

Abstract: An opening arrangement for packing containers made from laminated layers of plastic and paper in which a rectangular part of the top wall and an adjacent side wall is completely removable. A rectangular cover strip is sealed along its border portions to the inside of the top wall and adjacent side wall outside of the border portions of the removable rectangular part, and is also sealed to the removable rectangular part within its border portions at two spaced apart areas, which, when removed with the rectangular part, establish a pour opening having one edge coincident with an edge line formed between the top and side walls, and a vent opening. The cover strip is also provided with a folded portion projecting outwardly from this edge which forms a ledge over which the liquid goods within the container can flow so as to form a uniform and well defined jet.

Abstract: Parallelepipedic packing containers are made and filled in succession by passing a continuous web of packaging material over a forming device which converts the web into tubular form with an overlapped longitudinal seam. The tube is then filled with the intended contents, e.g., a liquid and is then divided off into individual packing containers by first pressing the tube transversely at longitudinally spaced intervals along broad zones and the opposite sides of the flattened tube are heat-sealed to each other along two narrow sealing regions close to the opposite base lines of the flattened zone while the remaining portions of the flattened zone remain non-sealed.
