  • Patent number: 11912473
    Abstract: Provided is a package made of a composite material is represented and described, including a package base with two front base corners and with two rear base corners, a package gable with two front gable corners and with two rear gable corners, and a package base body with a front panel, a first side panel, a second side panel and a rear panel. The package base and the package gable are arranged on opposite sides of the package base body. The composite material has a polymer inner layer, a polymer outer layer and a fibrous support layer, which is arranged between the polymer outer layer and the polymer inner layer. In order to enable the manufacture of packages with even more complex geometries without impairing the rigidity of the package, it is proposed to provide a third sleeve fold line, which has a plurality of sections, which each adjoin a side panel and the rear panel, and of which at least one section is curved.

  • Patent number: 11897671
    Abstract: A flat-shaped composite material is represented and described for manufacturing a package, including: a polymer outer layer, a polymer inner layer, a fibrous support layer, which is arranged between the polymer outer layer and the polymer inner layer. The flat-shaped composite material has a plurality of fold lines, which are arranged and designed such that a closed package can be manufactured by folding the flat-shaped composite material along the fold lines and by connecting seam surfaces of the flat-shaped composite material and a sleeve surface. The sleeve surface includes a front surface, a first side surface, a second side surface, a first rear surface and a second rear surface, and base surfaces. The base surfaces include triangular base surfaces, quadrangular base surfaces, and gable surfaces. The gable surfaces include triangular gable surfaces and quadrangular gable surfaces. The base surfaces and the gable surfaces are arranged on opposite sides of the sleeve surface.
