Abstract: The outer surface of an article is covered with a wrapping film, and both ends of the wrapping film are lap-welded by heating, so that a body seal section is created. An unbonded part is formed on the periphery of the edge of an upper overlapping film of the wrapping film along the marginal line of the same. This unbonded part extends between the marginal line of the upper overlapping film and the edge of the body seal section. A slit is formed in the vicinity of the unbonded part at right angles to the marginal line of the upper overlapping film. A weakly bonded part, where the upper overlapping film and the lower overlapping film are weakly bonded to each other, is formed to be adjacent to the opposite side of the unbonded part of the body seal section relative to the slit, and extends from that side of the unbonded part to a predetermined length along a marginal line of the upper overlapping film.

Abstract: An attached container opener for facilitating ease of opening of a paperboard carton container. The inventive device includes a container body having a pair of lateral panels coupled to a connecting panel to form an openable pouring spout.

Abstract: A reclosable chewing gum packet, and a blank for making that packet. The packet includes a multitude of side panels and a tear strip attached to and transversely extending across each of those side panels. The tear strip is cut through, adjacent a first end thereof, to separate the tear strip into first and second sections. The first section of the tear strip is torn away from the packet to form a lateral tear line, separating the packet into a cover and a body. When this is done, the transverse cut through the tear strip prevents the first section of the tear strip from tearing the second section of the tear strip away from the packet. That second section of the tear strip remains attached to the packet and forms a flexible hinge connecting the cover of the packet to the body thereof.

Abstract: A soft pack for paper tissues is disclosed. Soft packs for paper tissues which have a reclosable tear-open flap (21) are often provided with large-surfaced wide adhesive labels (24) to ensure a better stability. These adhesive labels are made by punching from a web of material (26) corresponding to the width of the adhesive label (24). When the adhesive is applied, an area is left out to form an adhesive-free grip tab (25). The grip tab (25) is colorcoded with an appropriate coating. A marginal strip (31) is left free from the adhesive and free from the colored coating. The punch cut is applied in the region of this strip (31).

The sealing fin includes mutually facing material layers between which is located an opening strip. The opening strip includes an inner layer positioned between outer layers that are sealed to plastic coatings of the packaging material, and an intermediate layer positioned between the inner layer and each of the outer layers. The intermediate layer is fabricated from a material whose properties are such that the adhesive bonding strength between all material layers of the opening strip and between the outer layers of the opening strip and the plastic coating of the packaging material is greater than the internally cohesive bonding strength of the intermediate layer.

Abstract: A tear strip opening device for containers, packages, letters, etc. which comprises opposed, preferably mirror image guide strip structures, mounted externally and internally of the panel to be opened. Each of the structures is constructed to be tearable in a longitudinal direction along opposed lines of weakness, when the external and internal structures are mounted directly opposite to and longitudinally coextensive with each other. A strip section of the external structure forms a guide strip, while a strip section of the internal structure forms a tear strip. Typically, the external structure will form two spaced-apart guide strip elements, while a central section of the internal structure will form a single tear strip element cooperating with the spaced-apart external guide strip elements.

Abstract: There is provided a tear tape opening system for packages constructed from a tearable substrate such as kraft paper, paperboard or corrugated board materials wherein the resulting tear line is substantially precisely defined with even tearing of the packaging material. The tear tape is adhered along an inside surface of the tearable substrate along the desired tear line of the package and the initiating segment thereof is defined by an opening tab formed at the initiation of the tear line in the package so that it may be grasped by the user to initiate opening. A system for guiding the tear along the desired tear line is provided by means of a guide tape or tapes which serves as an edge reinforcing for the tear lines produced by the tear tape being torn through the packaging material.

Abstract: Film packs (51) for receiving paper hankerchiefs are equipped with a recloseable opening aid consisting of a tear-open tab (34) or a folding tab and of an adhesive label (40) or adhesive strip (47). For the efficient production and special design of packs (51) of this type, they are fed in double rows (52, 53) and are equipped in pairs with adhesive labels (40) or adhesive strips (47). The production and feed of double labels (55) or double strips (79), which are subsequently severed and folded into an end position during the transport of the packs (51), are especially advantageous. By an appropriate design, particularly dimensioning of the adhesive labels (40) with a connecting piece (42) extending in the region of an end wall (27), the stability and handiness of the packs are improved.
