[Problem to be Solved] To prevent delamination of a film layer in a sheet material container in which an enclosing portion is formed in an interlayer between a first film layer and a second film layer. [Solution] A sheet material container includes a container body 6, and an inner container 7 that is covered by the container body 6 and defines an accommodation space, wherein the container body 6 is formed of a sheet material 3 including a first film layer 1 and a second film layer 2 disposed inside the first film layer 1, the sheet material 3 has a joint portion 32 at which an interlayer between the first film layer 1 and the second film layer 2 is joined and an enclosing portion 51 in which a filler can be enclosed in the interlayer between the first film layer 1 and the second film layer 2, and the first film layer 1 has an extruded multilayer structural part having a polyolefin resin layer 11/an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer resin layer 12 on a side facing the enclosing portion 51.

The invention relates to a pack (100) for preparing a food or beverage product from one or more ingredients, the pack comprising an insert (10) through where the food or beverage product is delivered, and such that a fluid to prepare the food or beverage product from the ingredients is also delivered into the pack via the insert (10) through an injection hole (11) and into an inlet chamber (191); the pack also comprising a container (20) being configured by at least one flexible sheet folded in such a way to configure a container where one or more ingredients can be stored; the insert (10) being overwrapped by the at least one flexible sheet configuring the container (20); such that the inlet chamber communicating with the inner volume of the container (20) is closed by a membrane (190), breakable by pressure. Further, the invention relates to the use of such a pack (100) for preparing a food or beverage product and to a method for producing a food or beverage product using this pack (100).

A packaged food that includes a sealed bag defining therein a sealed cavity containing a food, the sealed bag being formed from a flexible packaging film that includes a monoaxially oriented polymeric layer defining a preferential tear direction extending along the film; wherein the packaging film is configured to form first and second elongate tear-away portions of the sealed bag which are on opposite sides of, and adjacent to, an elongate central portion of the sealed bag, the first and second elongate tear-away portions and the elongate central portion extending along the preferential tear direction, whereby tearing away of the first and second elongate tear-away portions along the preferential tear direction to open the sealed bag leaves the elongate central portion forming a handle portion of the opened bag.

A packaging system includes an object, a heat-shrinkable package, and a protective film. The heat-shrinkable package is formed from heat-shrinkable film around the object and the heat-shrinkable film includes a weakened portion. The protective film is coupled to the heat-shrinkable film and positioned to cover the weakened portion in the heat-shrinkable film. The heat-shrinkable package is configured to shrink and form a package of heat-shrunk film around the object in response to being exposed to a heat-shrink environment. The protective film is positioned to cover the weakened portion in the heat-shrunk film after exposing to package of heat-shrinkable film and the protective film to the heat-shrink environment.

Packages are configured to hold and display a plurality of packaged goods. The packages includes a package body having an integral hinge formed therein such that a first portion of the package body is configured to fold over a second portion of the package body about the integral hinge. The first portion includes a plurality of first apertures, and the second portion includes a plurality of second apertures. When the first portion is folded over the second portion about the integral hinge, each first aperture is aligned with one of the second apertures. The packages may form part of packaging systems, which may include one or more packaged goods.

An opening device for a package obtained from a sheet of packaging material that comprises at least first and second layers and having a through hole through the first layer and covered by a sheet cover portion of the second layer. The opening device comprises a wall portion applied onto a first side of the sheet cover portion and defining, together with the sheet cover portion, a user-tearable portion of the package; the wall portion comprises a linear weakening slot in a part of the thickness of the wall portion and open at a second surface thereof, opposite the first surface; the linear weakening slot delimits, together with the first side a linear weakening region of the user-tearable portion; the opening device further comprises at least one pull-member to cause tearing of the user-tearable portion along the linear weakening region, and; at least one projecting linear rib element.

The present disclosure relates to a plastic valve and method for forming a plastic valve comprising an exterior base layer, an interior bubble layer and an exterior channel layer, wherein a flow channel is formed between the bubble layer and the channel layer. In a first aspect of the disclosure, a rigid or semi-rigid spherical ball travels between first and second ends of a channel molded into the bubble layer, thereby moving between a closed configuration and an open configuration. In a second aspect of the disclosure, a bubble is formed between the bubble layer and the base layer of plastic film, and includes a static planar footprint and a pre-tension height. The channel layer is applied to the bubble layer under tension to form a channel. Applying the channel layer decreases a height of the bubble from the pre-tension height to a post-tension height and increases an internal pressure of the bubble.

A barrier spout is comprised of a straw and a sealboat. The straw comprises a body having a first straw portion and a second straw portion, with an upper opening of the straw at a first end of the first straw portion and a lower opening of the straw at a second end of the second straw portion, the first straw portion and the second straw portion meeting at a second end of the first straw portion and a first end of the second straw portion. The straw is comprised of a barrier material to minimize at least one of oxygen and vapor transmission through the barrier material. The sealboat comprises a sealing material, the sealboat contacting an inner surface of the sealboat forming a liquid seal between the straw and the sealboat.
