There is provided a pack (10) for a product (12) which is sealingly retained in a volume defined by first and second films (13, 14) sealingly secured about a periphery. The pack has an openable portion through which a liquid contained in the product (12) can be dispensed. One of the films (14) has a pre-formed hinge (20) across at least part of the volume to assist folding of, and liquid extraction from, the product (12). The pre-formed hinge (20) may be in the form of a pre-formed fold line.

Provided is a small capacity container for viscous substance, which is capable of quickly discharging a viscous content at any time even when being held upside down or almost upside down. In the small capacity container of not more than 300 ml to contain a viscous substance, a region for quickly discharging the content and a region for slowly discharging the content during the container is held upside down are formed on the inner surface of the barrel portion of the container.

There is provided a pack (10) for a product (12) comprising a piece of fruit having a rind and a flesh portion containing a liquid in the form of juice. The product (12) is sealingly retained in a volume defined between two films (13, 14) which are sealingly connected around their periphery. The pack (10) has a first openable portion (16) from which the liquid/juice can be dispensed. The fruit product has one or more cuts (47) in its rind to facilitate the manipulation of the fruit to improve juice extraction.

A synthetic resin container includes a mouth portion and body, the body being squeezed to discharge contents. The body has a flattened shape with a width larger than a thickness. An end on one side in an axial direction along a center axis line of the body is connected to the mouth portion, and an end on another side is closed and formed in a curved shape protruding toward the other side in the axial direction. Each widthwise ends of the body is provided with a bent portion extending in parallel with the axial direction. When the body is squeezed in the thickness direction to discharge the contents, the bent portion is configured to be a starting point when one of a front side wall and a rear side wall opposed to each other in the thickness direction of the body is inverted and deformed toward the other.

A container (1) for liquid is described, comprising a base (2), a lid (3), a jacket (4) and an inner bag (5). The jacket extends (4) between the base (2) and the lid (3), defining with them a closed inner volume. The inner bag (5) is interchangeably positioned in the inner volume and can be filled with a liquid. In the filled configuration, the inner bag (5) holds upright the container; in the emptied configuration the inner (5) bag is bent on itself and the container is collapsed with the lid (3) close to the base (2) or in abutment thereon. The jacket (4) is a tubular member made of a laminar material that can be bent on itself like a textile, for example a band that can be bent like bellows. This feature allows switching easily from the upright configuration to the collapsed or bent one, without the needas in solutions of the known artto overturn rigid parts, disassemble envelopes or guide the rings defining the metal meshes.
