An instrument protector backer card provides enhanced structural integrity of a sterile package solution for medical instruments. A mounting surface has a strap for holding a removable medical instrument. A shield member is movable from a non-deployed position into a deployed position to define an open-ended pocket to receive an end of the medical instrument therein. A flap may be used to hold jointed medical instrument in an open position.

Disclosed is a packaged frozen confection (1) comprising a flexible pouch (2), wherein the pouch (2) comprises a wall (4) delimiting a cavity containing the frozen confection and extending in a longitudinal direction from a base end (6) to a top end (5) of the pouch. The top end (5) comprises a product outlet (8) through which the frozen confection can be extruded from the cavity. The base end (6) comprises a gusset (7) extending in a transverse direction, the top end (5) comprises a top edge (3) extending in the transverse direction, and the product outlet (8) is disposed at or proximal to a corner of the top edge (3). The wall (4) is deformable at least at the base end (6) of the pouch (2) to urge the frozen confection in the cavity towards the outlet (8) and extrude at least a portion of frozen confection therefrom.

The present invention relates to a stand-up packaging (1) for food products comprising at least one pouch (2) for carrying a food product, an outer packaging (3) having two cover elements (31,32) at least partially sandwiching the pouch (2), and at least one further element (33,2′) being at least partially sandwiched between the pouch (2) and one of the cover elements (31). The further element (33,2′) is penetrated by a through hole (22,36). The one cover element (31) is glued (G) to the pouch (2) via the through hole (22,36)

A battery package is described herein that advantageously maintains separation between batteries received therein while also providing a resealable opening to sequentially retrieve batteries therefrom. Further, the battery package can include an outer covering.

A cartridge assembly for deploying a fillable bulk liquid bag in an intermediate bulk container is provided. The cartridge has a flexible reinforcing board adhered to the fillable bag which may facilitate securing the bag to the discharge port of an IBC while also directing the bag to the IBC bottom center for more efficient filling. Sacrificial paper tape may be used to maintain the cartridge for storage, transportation and deployment in an IBC.

A package for containing and picking up stacked articles and a method for making the package, which make it possible to reduce the production costs of the package and, in any case, obtain a package which is sufficiently rigid to keep the shape of the above-mentioned package.

A reinforced package comprising a carton comprising a plurality of panels that extends at least partially around an interior of the carton. The plurality of panels can comprise a front panel and a back panel disposed opposite to the front panel. The carton can comprise a bottom wall foldably connected to the front panel along a first curved fold line and to the back panel along a second curved fold line. The reinforced package further can include a bag at least partially attached to the carton. The bag can be at least partially defining an interior space for holding a product. The carton can be positionable in a non-erect position and in an erect position. At least the bottom wall and the first curved fold line can be configured to retain the carton in the erect position.

Pet owners cannot tactilely examine, or experience food contained in rigid packaging. This product experience at the point of purchase requires pliable or flexible packaging. However, pliable or flexible packaging has limited ability to stack, both on the store shelf, as well as in the pet owner's pantry. Provided is a multi-functional container for moist or wet, textured food. The container has rigid sidewalls, a bottom with at least a portion made from a flexible or pliable material or membrane or that provides access to a bag of a flexible or pliable material or membrane, and a lid to seal the opening of the container or the bag. Since the food contacts the flexible or pliable material or membrane, it can be tactilely examined at the point of purchase. If the material or membrane is transparent, the food can also be visibly examined at the point of purchase.

A container (10) for transporting and displaying strip pack products (20) generally includes a container housing (30) defining a housing interior for containing strip pack products (20). The container housing has at least one flap (32) pivotable between a closed position at least partially enclosing the housing interior and an open position, wherein the strip pack product (20) is suspended from the at least one flap (32) in the open position.

A system and method for forming reinforced packages. The method can comprise forming an attached web by adhering a construct to a web of material, and moving the attached web in a downstream direction through at least a web edge forming assembly. The moving the attached web can comprise moving the construct with the web of material. The method further can include at least partially forming a folded web by folding at least a portion of the web of material as the attached web moves through the web folding assembly and forming a reinforced package comprising a liner and the construct by separating the liner from a remainder of the folded web. The construct is adhered to the liner.
