Flexible package with reclose region
A reclosable flexible package is described that includes an inner film layer, an outer film layer laminated to the inner film layer, and reclose region defined in a portion of package film layers. The reclose region includes pressure sensitive adhesive disposed between the inner and outer film layers. A number of cut lines are provided in the outer film layer in the reclose region, such that the user, by manipulating the package film layers at the reclose region, can reveal the underlying layer of pressure sensitive adhesive. Once the pressure sensitive adhesive of the reclose region is exposed, the action of the user can serve to adhere the pressure sensitive adhesive to itself and/or other portions of the film, such that the package is cinched in the area of the reclose region and maintains the remnants of the package contents within the reclosed package for later use.

Methods for making flexible containers and associated products
Presented is a method for making a flexible container. The method implements an injection mold having a collapsible core that expands/moves to define the apertures and, in some embodiments, holds a flexible film in place during the injection mold process and collapses/moves back post-injection molding to allow for the flexible container to be readily removed from the die. In addition, the method described includes a post-injection molding anneal process that is implemented to allow the flexible film to shrink so as to provide for the form-fitting of the film to the molded portion of the container.
Aseptic package fluid dispensing apparatus
A flexible package for dispensing a liquid. The package includes a fitment and a piercing member. The fitment is secured to a wall of the flexible package and has a passageway extending through it and a screw-thread section. The piercing member has a passageway extending through it, a piercing tip, and a screw-thread section. The piercing member is configured for insertion in the passageway of the fitment, with the screw-thread sections engaging each other to cause the piercing tip to penetrate the package, whereupon the liquid within the package can flow into and through the piercing member.

FOLDABLE TOTE BOX
There is provided a foldable tote box that enables a content thereof to be visually checked under a state in which a lid is closed. A foldable tote box of the present invention includes a box body. The box body includes: a square or rectangular bottom surface part; front and rear side wall parts and right and left side wall parts corresponding to respective sides of the bottom surface part; a lid extending from an upper edge of the rear side wall part; and a reinforcement plate configured to reinforce the bottom surface part. The reinforcement plate is pivotably mounted on a lower edge of the front side wall part or the rear side wall part. The right and left side wall parts are inwardly foldable when a center portion of the bottom surface part is pulled up. Each of the side wall parts is formed of a frame member configured to define an outline of the side wall part and maintain a shape of the side wall part, and a sheet material supported by the frame member. The sheet material includes a transparent portion, and the transparent portion enables a content of the foldable tote box to be visually checked.
Liquid dosing apparatus
An apparatus and means of repeatedly dispensing controlled doses of liquid comprising a resiliently squeezable container for containing a liquid detergent composition; a cap operably connected to said container, the cap comprising a nozzle for expelling the liquid out of the container; a dosing chamber operably connected to the cap, wherein the dosing chamber comprises a base having a discharge opening therein, sidewalls extending upwardly along the perimeter of said base and at least one inlet opening located proximal the sidewalls; at least one timer aperture located proximal to the discharge opening; a plunger, provided in the dosing chamber and moveable relative to the chamber so as to advance upon squeezing of the container, up to a blocking position; a valve retaining means located below the base; a valve provided in the valve retaining mean wherein the valve is movable from an open position, allowing liquid flow through the discharge opening, and a closed position, where the valve blocks the discharge opening; wherein the liquid is a shear thinning liquid and the shear thinning liquid has a viscosity of greater than 150 mPa.Math.s measured at 10s.sup.1 at 20 C.
