Abstract: Polyester strapping made from polyester and less than 3% by weight of a polyolefn additive exhibits improved resistance to longitudinal splitting when the strapping is later placed under tension in packaging reinforcement applications. The polyolefin improves the longitudinal split resistance of the strapping without facilitating unwanted longitudinal stretch of the polyester strapping when under tension. The polyolefin additive may be combined with other conventional additives, or may be used alone in order to minimize costs.

Abstract: A pouring device for two individual, mutually connected containers include in each case a sealing bung on each container neck. The sealing bung has a pouring outlet and an incoming air orifice. Pouring elements, which each includes a chamber, are disposed above the sealing bung. A pouring orifice and an incoming air orifice issue into each chamber. A single connection line leads off from the chamber to a corresponding pouring outlet. The pouring elements can be attached to the container necks. A cover is placed over the pouring element and includes a thread bung onto which it is possible to screw a threaded over including a sealing part mounted therein.

Abstract: A liquid container 1 comprises a larger glass bottle 2 and a smaller glass bottle 3 which are separately formed and adhesively bonded together. A base 11 of the smaller bottle 3 is spaced slightly above the base 10 of the larger bottle 2 so that in use, the base 10 of the larger bottle 2 forms a standing surface for the container 1 to prevent rocking.
