Described is an assembly (1) comprising a wall element (2), defining a circumferential bonding strip (3) running over the wall element, and a flexible flat film connected to the bonding strip with a continuous circumferential bonding (4), which wall element and film define two opposite walls (2a, 5a) of a chamber (5), characterized in that the wall element further comprises a base plane B defined by the wall element, at least two corner elements (6a, 6b, 6c, 6d) positioned on a distance to one another, which extend substantially perpendicular with a height H (Ha, Hb, Hc, Hd) in the same direction from the base plane of the wall element, each corner element defining an angle A (Aa, Ab, Ac, Ad) of the chamber with an angle line which is substantially perpendicular to the base plane, strip sections (7a, 7b, 7c, 7d), each connecting two corner elements that define adjacent corners of the chamber to one another, the distance between the strip sections and the base plane being less than H, wherein the continuous circumferential bonding strip runs over the strip sections and over the corner elements and at least in the area of the corner elements at a distance from the base surface corresponding to height H (Ha, Hb, Hc, Hd), and wherein the outer contour of the film is shaped in such a way that the outer contour of the film corresponds to that of the circumferential bonding strip. A method for the production of such an assembly is also described.

Disclosed herein are fusion packaging and fusion packages. One package includes a frame configured to provide structure for the package, a sidewall fused to the frame, and a tethered cap connected to one end of the frame. Another package includes a sleeve configured to provide structure for the package, a tethered cap fused to one end of the sleeve, and a seal configured to be fused to a remaining end of the sleeve after the package is filled with content. Another package includes a frame configured to provide structure for the package, a film fused to the frame, a cap connected to one end of the frame, the cap including a structure to retain the cap after removal from the frame, and a seal connected to another end of the frame, where one of the cap and seal are connected to the frame after material placement.

The invention relates to a method for sealing an opening of a packaging, in which the packaging includes at least a peripheral wall with a peripheral top edge. The peripheral top edge forms the contour of the opening, including the following process steps: positioning a flexible film/foil layer over the peripheral top edge in such a way that the opening is completely covered and the film/foil layer overhangs beyond the peripheral top edge; heat-sealing the film/foil layer to the peripheral top edge of the packaging; folding the part of the film/foil layer overhanging beyond the opening towards the peripheral wall; heat-sealing the folded-over film/foil layer to the peripheral wall at a distance from the peripheral top edge, in which case a contact point of a device for heat-sealing the folded-over film/foil layer to the peripheral wall at a distance from the peripheral top edge does not move with respect to the film/foil layer during the heat-sealing, at least for as long as the contact point is in contact with the film/foil layer. The invention also relates to a device for heat-sealing according to the above method, and to a packaging manufactured in this way.

A peelable lid system includes a peelable lid, a seal configured to seal the peelable lid to a container, a handle coupled to the peelable lid, and a lifting mechanism coupled to handle. The lifting mechanism can be coupled to the peelable lid at a plurality of attachment points, including at least one attachment point coupled to the peelable lid away from the handle. The lifting mechanism can be configured to lift at least one portion of the peelable lid near each of the plurality of attachment points.

A capsule is provided for use in a machine for preparing product from capsules. The capsule includes a body that defines an interior space with an opening at one location and an aperture at another location. Ingredients are disposed within the interior space for preparing a desired product. A cover is disposed over the opening and an aperture cover is disposed over the aperture. The aperture cover is adapted to open at least partially during use of the capsule in the machine to permit the consumable product to be dispensed.

A method of forming a container from a blank. The method can comprise obtaining a blank having a wall portion, a flange portion, and a coating on at least a portion of the flange portion. At least one score line can extend at least partially in the flange portion, and the coating can at least partially cover the at least one score line. The method further can comprise forming the container from the blank by forming a wall of the container from the wall portion and forming a flange of the container from the flange portion. The flange can extend from the wall. The forming the container further can comprise forming the at least one score line into at least one pleat in at least the flange. The coating can at least partially cover the at least one pleat to form a substantially continuous sealing surface on the flange.

Provided is a self-adhesive sheet including a 4-methyl-1-pentene-based polymer. In the self-adhesive sheet, it is preferable that at least one or more temperatures showing a local maximum value of a loss tangent (tan δ) , which is obtained by dynamic viscoelasticity measurement under conditions of a temperature rising rate of 4° C./min, a frequency of 1.59 Hz, and a strain amount of 0.1%, are present in a range of 10° C. or higher and 100° C. or lower, the local maximum value of the loss tangent is 0.5 or more and 3.5 or less, an arithmetic average roughness Ra on one surface of the self-adhesive sheet is in a range of 0.01 to 10 .Math.m, and a ten-point average roughness Rz is in a range of 0.1 to 50 .Math.m.

An Improved Beverage Bag comprising pre-measured pouches of tea or coffee, along with sugar, artificial sweetener, and/or non-dairy creamer, all within honeycomb inspired packaging to provide consumers who enjoy enhanced beverages with a convenient, quick, no-mess means of creating the perfect cup of tea or coffee.
