A snack food container having a square base, side walls substantially consisting of four right triangular panels and two isosceles triangular panels, and a flat, two dimensional end seal. The container is opened by use of a tear feature just below the end seal. The container is of paperboard construction and is resealable by virtue of a score line on each side of the container located below the end seal in combination with a horizontal cut through the container located below one score line. After opening, the container can be resealed by folding the container over the score lines towards the horizontal cut. An edge of the container is then secured in the horizontal cut.

A method for sealing a thermoplastic bag includes forming a first fold in a top end of the bag; forming a second fold in the top end that includes the first fold; folding the first fold to form a first portion of the first fold and a second portion of the first fold, the second portion of the first fold is folded onto the first portion of the first fold; and heat sealing the first fold and the second fold to each other and to a portion of the bag that faces the first fold, the heat sealing including applying hot air to the bag. Preferably the second fold has a height that is less than a height of the first fold such that the forming of the second fold folds the first fold to form the first and second portions of the first fold.

A band-fastened packaging for containing absorbent articles includes a pocket component for housing the articles. The pocket component includes a front and back wall, with at least the front wall defining an opening into the pocket component. At least the front and back walls form a packaging closed end. A packaging flap is hingedly connected to the back wall for covering the opening, the packaging flap including a flap wall having an outermost flap wall edge. A band-fastener is attached to the outermost flap wall edge. The band-fastener is capable of separating from the outermost flap wall edge between two spaced-apart points, and includes a flap-facing inner edge. The packaging closed end may be inserted between the outermost flap wall edge and band-fastener, flap-facing inner edge in order to maintain the packaging in a closed configuration.

A package in which a bag formed from a polyethylene-based resin film having a small thickness, more specifically a thickness of 300 m or less is filled with crushed polysilicon (Si chunks) and damage to the bag by the Si chunks is effectively prevented. In a polysilicon package in which the bag 1 formed from a polyethylene-based resin having an average thickness of 300 m or less is filled with the Si chunks 4, the bag 1 has a heat-sealed bonded part 2 at the bottom and is filled with the Si chunks 4 to ensure that the maximum expansion of the bag 1 becomes 5% or less when the bag 1 is held in an upright state with the bottom as a ground contact surface.

A package, such as a bag or stand-up pouch, is described that includes a built-in opening support that can be actuated by the user to maintain the package in an open or wide-open configuration, thereby preventing or reducing the need to manually keep the front and back panels of the package separated as product is accessed. The opening support may be disposed near the opening end of at least one of the front or back panels and may be designed to be moved from an inactive position to an active position. In the inactive position, the opening support is disposed along one of the front panel or the back panel, whereas in the active position, the opening support extends between the front panel and the back panel, across a corresponding longitudinal seam of the package, to maintain the opening of the package in a wide-open position.
