An elongate closure (10; 110) for closing an access side of a flexible packaging comprises an elongate plastic body (12; 112), wherein the body (12; 112) has a first face (22; 120) that is turned towards the access side of the flexible packaging in a closed position, a second face (24; 122) that is turned away from the access side of the flexible packaging in a closed position, and at least one thickened rib (14, 16; 114) extending over the length of the body (12; 112), wherein the at least one thickened rib (14, 16; 114) has at least two projecting parts (26; 124) separated by a recess (28; 126) at the second face (24; 122). The elongate closure can be a clip band type closure or a twist tie type closure.

An embodiment includes a bag comprising mesh and film side walls and a reinforcing strip of film; wherein (a) the mesh side wall is sealed to opposing side edges of the film side wall; (b) the reinforcing strip of film is sealed to an upper portion of the mesh side wall and to the opposing side edges of the film side wall; (c) the film side wall has a bottom extension, which is monolithic with the film side wall, extending upwardly and sealed along a lateral extent of a bottom portion of the mesh side wall; (d) the film side wall is non-coplanar with a portion of the bottom extension; (e) another portion of the bottom extension is non-coplanar with the mesh side wall; and (f) a horizontal axis intersects the bottom portion of the film side wall and three portions of the bottom extension.

The present invention relates to a scoop (1) comprising a bowl (2) and a handle connected to the bowl (2) and comprising a clip (6). The clip (6) can be used for re-closing a bag containing a product to be dosed by the bowl (2). The clip (6) is delimited by a free edge (9), and there is a gap (12) between the free edge (9) of the clip (6) and handle edges (10) of regions of the handle (3) surrounding the clip (6). At least a part of the clip edge (9) and at least a part of the handle edges (10) delimiting the gap (12) are provided with teeth (13) in the form of teeth-shaped protrusions. The teeth (13) at the clip edge (9) and the teeth (13) at a proximate handle edge (10), respectively, are arranged at alternating positions along a longitudinal extension of the gap (12).

The present invention describes a flexible package (100). The flexible package (100) includes a pair of opposite panels (102, 103). The flexible package (100) further includes at least one pair of side gussets (104, 106) configured with the pair of panels to form a receptacle (108) having at least three closed sides. The flexible package (100) also includes a first and a second tamper evident reclosable opening (116, 118) provided on the at least one pair of side gussets (104, 106), the opening (116, 118) configured to provide access to contents of the flexible package, wherein the first reclosable opening (116) is smaller than the second reclosable opening (118).

A method and a waste handling system, wherein waste or recyclable material is transported in carrier bags, bags or sack to a disposal point, and from there onwards by a transport vehicle for further processing. An RFID identifier is used in connection with the carrier bag, bag, or sack, or used in waste transport. A closing member is provided with an RFID) identifier used in closing, or as verification of the closing of the carrier bag, bag, sack. A sensor is arranged in connection with, or in the proximity of, a disposal point, such as a waste room, of the waste system. Information read from the RFID identifier by the sensor is transmitted to a control unit, that is fitted to control the waste transport system based on the information given by the RFID identifier.

Reclosable fastener includes a first track including a first engagement profile having a first hook portion opening in a first direction along a reference axis substantially perpendicular to a burst direction of the fastener and a second track including a second engagement profile having a second hook portion opening in a second direction opposite the first direction along the reference axis and configured to engage the first hook portion in a closed configuration. The first and second hook portions are configured to engage each other when the first and second tracks are urged toward each other along the reference axis, and the first and second hook portions are configured to disengage each other when the first and second tracks are urged away from each other along the reference axis. A reclosable bag having a reclosable fastener and a slider for a reclosable fastener are also provided.

A tamper-evident package utilizes a transparent resealable adhesive structure such as a tape or a label to cover the closure opening. Upon a first opening of the package frangible portions of the package front between adjacent arcuate cuts and slits defining the opening are torn. This tearing distorts the packaging film so that re-registration of the opposing lateral edges upon reclosing is not possible. This results in a package which is visually tamper-evident. The tamper-evident condition can be enhanced by graphics or other printing on the front of the package in the area of the closure to make the misalignment of a resealed closure viewed through the transparent structure more visually apparent. In one embodiment of the invention a series of arcuate cuts are centered laterally and are flanked on the right and left sides by two continuous wavy slits which form a portion of the closure opening.

A securable clip includes a first elongated rectangular portion and a second elongated rectangular portion connected along a common edge. The clip includes at least one locking peg, at least one receiving hole configured to receive the at least one locking peg, and a frangible portion. The frangible portion provides a visual indication that the clip has been opened. The releasing of the locking peg prevents the clip from being reclosed, reused, or sealed again.

An easy peel sealant film includes at least a support layer and a peel layer. The support layer has a composition which contains 100 to 70 mass % of a linear low-density polyethylene, and 0 to 30 mass % of a propylene homopolymer. The peel layer has a composition which contains 40 to 60 mass % of a low-density polyethylene, 10 to 20 mass % of a high-density polyethylene, and 20 to 50 mass % of a propylene homopolymer. The propylene homopolymer in the support layer and the propylene homopolymer in the peel layer have a melt flow rate of 1 g/10 min to 9 g/10 min.
