A bag contains polysilicon, has been welded and includes at least one weld seam and a polyethylene film having: a thickness of 150-900 μm; a stiffness at a flexural modulus F.sub.max of 300-2000 mN and F.sub.t of 100-1300 mN; a fracture force F determined by dynamic penetration testing of 200-1500 N; a fracture energy Ws of 2-30 J; a penetration energy W.sub.tot of 2.2-30 J; a film tensile stress at 15% longitudinal and transverse elongation of 9-50 MPa; an Elmendorf longitudinal film tear resistance of 10-60 cN; an Elmendorf transverse film tear resistance of 18-60 cN; a longitudinal film elongation at break of 300-2000%; a transverse film elongation at break of 450-3000%; and a weld seam strength of 25-150 N/15 mm. A method includes filling a bag with polysilicon, and welding by pulse sealing with contact pressure greater than 0.01 N/mm.sup.2 to obtain a 25-150 N/15 mm weld seam strength.

A package for consuming a food product in a frozen or non-frozen state. The package includes a pouch body and a fitment. The pouch body defines a chamber for receiving the food product and includes a cut of predetermined depth to facilitate tearing of the pouch body to create an opening for dispensing the food product in a frozen state. The fitment includes a spout for dispensing the food product in a non-frozen state.

A flexible pouch has an internal zipper adding support to the pouch and allowing the contents of the pouch to be portioned. Flexible pouches having a product disposed therein are also disclosed, along with kits containing same. In addition, methods of producing the flexible pouches and packaged products are also disclosed.

A child resistant blister pack includes a blister layer which includes one or more blister cavities for receiving a product. A frangible retaining layer is attached to the blister layer over the blister cavities to retain the product within the blister cavities. A first backing layer is attached to the retaining layer on a side opposite the blister layer. The first backing layer has one or more lines of weakness aligned with the blister cavities. A second backing layer is attached to the first backing layer on a side opposite the retaining layer. The second backing layer has a plurality of removable sections. At least two removable sections are arranged over each line of weakness in the underlying first backing layer.

A flexible thermoformed dispensing package for a flowable material includes an integrally formed dispensing tube extending from the container portion having an internal extension spaced apart from the side walls defining a recessed chamber defined by a pair of integral thermoformed walls extending from the bottom surface of the container chamber and terminating proximate the base when the package is in a vertical position to facilitate sipping of a beverage from the container portion; alternatively, a straw is placed in the dispensing tube to reach the base of the package. In another embodiment, at least one integrally formed internal dividing wall extends from the sealed end of the dispensing tube and intersects an interior wall to define separate dispensing chambers, where the sealed ends of each of the dispensing chambers can be independently opened along a weakened transverse parting line and separated into separate dispensing channels along a longitudinal parting line.

A blank for a package, a package, and a kit having a package with a cleaning implement therein. The package has a front panel and side panels with a transition that provides for regions of relatively greater and relatively lesser depth in said package. A window is disposed in the front panel, and registered with the portions of the side panel having relatively lesser depth. This geometry provides the benefit that the package may hold all contents deemed helpful at point of sale, while allowing the cleaning implement to be visible through or protrude through the window without shadows being cast from the side panels.

The present disclosure provides a flexible container (10). In an embodiment, the flexible container includes: a front panel (22), a rear panel (24), a first gusseted side panel (18), and a second gusseted side panel (20). The gusseted side panels adjoin the front panel and the rear panel along peripheral seals (41) to form (i) a top portion, (ii) a body portion, and (iii) a bottom portion. The top portion comprises a neck (27) and a fitment (30) in the neck. The top portion comprises a top handle (12) extending above the fitment, the top handle having a reciprocal attachment member (5). The bottom portion comprises a bottom handle (14) and a tether (6) extending from the bottom handle. A distal end of the tether has an attachment member (7), the attachment member adapted to secure to the reciprocal attachment member.
