  • Patent number: 6471120
    Abstract: The present bag-in-a-box package is of a three unit structure, having a top unit, a body unit and a bottom unit. The box has a pair of handles for ease in handling the box and a tear strip structure for opening the box. In a preferred mode the tear strip has a grip that is adjacent one of the handle apertures. The tear strip can be of any known structure such as a series of perforations or serrations, or a separate film, string or filament applied to the top panel. This makes the tear strip easier to grip and the box easier to open. The bag part of the structure will preserve the freshness of the contained product while the box will provide structural integrity and a means for easily handling the box.
