  • Publication number: 20110152821
    Abstract: A lid (2) for closing a cup (1) along a peripheral sealing edge (10) and a method for producing such a lid. The lid includes at least one aluminum film and an optionally multi-layered plastic layer which is co-extruded onto the aluminum film and has a closed predetermined tearing line (3). The plastic layer is made of plastic based on polyethylene (PE) or plastic based on polypropylene (PP), and the predetermined tearing line is introduced into the plastic layer preferably by means of a CO2 laser. The predetermined tearing line (3) may be provided directly in the region of the sealing edge (10).

  • Patent number: 7740730
    Abstract: A lid for closing containers includes an at least two-layered composite assembly. A layer facing the container seals against a container edge and forms an opening by layer separation, for removing contents. The layers have a continuous construction without weakening lines. The layer facing the container is made mainly of a plastic having an intrinsic tearing resistance being lower in the region of the opening than its adhesion to the layer facing away from the container in a remaining region and an adhesion to the container edge being greater at least in the region of an opening aid than to the other layer. The plastic adheres so strongly to the outer layer in the region of the opening that a region corresponding to the opening is torn out upon opening and a remaining layer of the lid facing the container continues to adhere to the container edge by sealing action.

  • Publication number: 20090311475
    Abstract: A composite material (1) includes a carrier layer (2) and a sealing layer (3), the carrier layer being detachably connected to the sealing layer. According to the invention, a zone (5) of separation is formed between the carrier layer and the sealing layer, whereby at least the surface region (2?) of the carrier layer (2) that borders the sealing layer (3) includes non-polar substances and at least the surface region (3?) of the sealing layer (3) that borders the carrier layer (2) includes polar substances or at least the surface region (2?) of the carrier layer (2) that borders the sealing layer (3) includes polar substances and at least the surface region (3?) of the sealing layer (3) that borders the carrier layer (2) includes non-polar substances.
