A flexible bag having an inner ply and an outer ply. The inner ply has a front panel and a back panel. At least one of the front and back panels having a microembossing on an inner surface thereof. A bag in box packaging having the flexible bag is likewise disclosed.

The current invention discloses a transit seal plug, the seal plug to be releasably secured to a dispensing cap. The sealing member includes first and second annular sealing faces, and further also includes a gripping member which extends away from a first side of the sealing member to engage walls of a conduit. A pull tab extends from the opposite side of the sealing member, to facilitate removal of the seal plug from a dispensing cap.

Embodiments described herein relate to articles and methods for forming liquid surface films on the interior surfaces of containers for holding one or more products comprising one or more Bingham plastic materials. Bingham plastic materials behave as a solid under no or low shear stress, and behave as viscous liquids when an applied shear stress exceeds a yield stress. In some embodiments, a container for containing a product includes an interior surface and a liquid disposed on the interior surface. Before introduction of a product into a container, the liquid may be surrounded by air. The liquid-air interface in contact with the interior surface makes a contact angle, θ.sub.os(a), with respect to the interior surface of the container, of about 0°. After a product has been introduced to the container, the liquid is at least partially covered by the product. The liquid-product interface in contact with the interior surface, makes a contact angle, θ.sub.os(p), with respect to the interior surface, of less about 60°. The subscript “o” denotes the liquid, subscript “s” denotes the interior surface, subscript “a” denotes air, and subscript “p” denotes a product. In some embodiments, the contact angle θ.sub.os(p) can be less than about 50°, less than about 40°, or less than about 30°.

Corrugated box assemblies, blanks, and systems for individually shipping a bag of liquid stored therein and converting an inner portion into a bag-in-box dispenser are provided. An example box assembly comprises an inner portion comprising a plurality of walls. The inner portion includes an interior configured to receive and store the bag of liquid, which may range from about 3 to 6 gallons. The inner portion further includes a removable perforation feature defined by a series of perforations on at least one of a front wall and a front top flap extending from the front wall. A top portion and a bottom portion each comprise a plurality of walls that, when formed, define an opening sized to fit around the inner portion. The box assembly may be configured to pass individual box shipping test standards, such as ISTA and SIOC test standards. Methods of forming the box assembly are also provided.

The delaminatable container is capable of suppressing deterioration of the contents under high-temperature environment. The delaminatable container includes a container body; and a tubular outer case being installed in the container body; wherein: the container body includes an outer shell and an inner bag, and the inner bag shrinks as contents decrease.

An apparatus (10) is provided for dispensing a flowable product from a collapsible container (12) comprising an air-tight cavity (14) and an opening (16). The apparatus (10) includes a reservoir (18) comprising a chamber (20) for storing flowable product, the chamber (20) comprising a product inlet (22) for receiving flowable product delivered from the air-tight cavity (14) of a connected collapsible container (12) through the opening (16) thereof, and a product outlet (24) for the flowable product. A piston (46) is positioned inside the chamber (30) and is movable to vary the volume of the chamber (30), for example between a first position defining a maximum chamber volume and a second position defining a minimum chamber volume.

In a self-standing packing bag with a spout of the present invention, a bottom section is formed by a bottom member that is half folded at a fold line and is attached to an inside of a lower portion of the trunk section such that the fold line faces upward, an extending direction of the fold line of the bottom section and a closing direction of an upper end of the trunk section intersect each other on a horizontal projection plane, and side end portions of two regions of the bottom member divided by the fold line are planarly bonded to an inside of the trunk section in an overlapping state.

Corrugated boxes, box blanks, and systems for individually shipping a bag of liquid stored therein and converting into a bag-in-box dispenser are provided. An example box comprises a top portion comprising a plurality of walls. The top portion defines a perforation feature defined on the front wall and a front top flap extending from the front wall. The perforation feature is defined by a series of perforations and is removable. A bottom portion comprises a plurality of walls and is sized to fit within an opening defined by the top portion. The bottom portion defines an opening configured to receive the bag of liquid. The box is configured to store a bag of liquid ranging from 3 to 6 gallons and is designed to pass individual box shipping test standards, such as ISTA and SIOC test standards. Methods of forming the box are also provided.

A configurable fluid vessel comprising a flexible bladder (45) having a fluid port (47) through which a fluid such as water can be provided into the bladder (45). The fluid vessel further comprises an internal support frame (43) within the flexible bladder (45) to increase rigidity and preferably an urging means (44) for urging the flexible bladder (45) into a predetermined shape. The fluid vessel is collapsible for storage whilst retaining rigidity when in use. The fluid vessel is particularly suited for use in explosive jet disruptors (40) for tailoring the formation of a fluid jet.

After a product has been introduced to the container, the liquid is at least partially covered by the product. The liquid-product interface in contact with the interior surface, makes a contact angle, .sub.os(p), with respect to the interior surface, of less about 60. The subscript o denotes the liquid, subscript s denotes the interior surface, subscript a denotes air, and subscript p denotes a product. In some embodiments, the contact angle .sub.os(p) can be less than about 50, less than about 40, or less than about 30.
