Abstract: The present invention concerns a flexible or semi-flexible stackable package (1) for flowable products, comprising a package body (2) with side (3), top (4) and bottom (5) walls, and a neck (6) adapted to receive closing and/or dispensing means (15) that extends outwardly from one of said walls (3, 4, 5) characterized in that: (i) said neck (6) is off-centered and tilted relative to the vertical axis (V) of said package (1) with an angle (?) comprised between 1° and 179°, preferably comprised between 20° and 60°, more preferably an angle of 45°, and (ii) the package body walls (3, 4, 5) comprise at least one flattened, rounded, or recessed portion (7), such that when stacked in a package assembly (10), the neck (6) of said package (1) fits in between a space (8) defined by similar packages disposed adjacent to said neck (6).

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a secondary packaging (4) comprising a plurality of individual primary packages (1) and at least one envelope (2) that gathers and holds the said primary packages together, characterized in that at least two adjacent individual primary packages within the envelope (2) comprise attaching means (6) so as to prevent any movement of one primary package relative to the other.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a container suitable for packing and dispensing a non-flowable food product. The container has a collapsible container body and a container neck with a dispensing opening. The container body also has an internal volume (V1) when the body is in fully compressed configuration and an internal volume (V2) when the body is in a fully expanded configuration. Advantageously, (i) the container is manufactured by injection-blowing process out of a thermoplastic material such as polyethyleneterephtalate (PET), polyethylenenaphtalate (PEN), polyethyleneterephtalateglycol (PETG), polypropylene (PP),or a combination thereof, (ii) the body walls have a thickness not higher than 100 ?m, and (iii) the ratio V1/V2 is lower than, or equal to, 0.05.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a container (2) comprising a body (23), a neck (22) and a closure element (21), the said body having a surface of positive curvature and including, on its external surface, a stretch film (1) partially covering its surface, made of a plastic different from or the same as that of the body of the said container.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a water-based beverage containing soluble fibres. The water composition is substantially demineralized and has a neutral or acidic pH. The soluble fibres contained in the present water composition are selected from a group comprising oligosaccharides with a chain length of from about 2 to 20 units and digestion-resistant malto-oligosaccharides with a Molecular Weight of about 2000. The present water composition may be store without adverse effect such as hydrolysis of oligosaccharides nor precipitation of the soluble fibres contained in it.
