The present invention relates to an integrally blow-moulded bag-in-container (2) and preform (1, 1′) for blow-moulding the bag-in-container. An inner layer (11) and an outer layer (12) are used, wherein the preform forms a two-layer container upon blow-moulding, and wherein the obtained inner layer of said container releases from the thus obtained outer layer upon introduction of a gas at a point of interface (14) between the two layers. At least one of the inner and outer layers includes at least one additive allowing both inner and outer layers to reach their respective blow-moulding temperatures substantially simultaneously.

A pressure element for a sealing device includes a sealing member and a countersealing member facing one another and configured to be pressed against one another to seal therebetween a tube of packaging material adapted to be filled with a pourable product. The pressure element comprises a fitting portion configured to be fitted to the countersealing member and a contact portion defining a contact surface facing, in use, the sealing member and configured to interact with a sealing element of the sealing member to press and seal the tube therebetween. The pressure element comprises at least one engagement element configured to cooperate with a complementary engagement element carried by the countersealing member to guide the pressure element according to a predetermined orientation during fitting of the pressure element to the countersealing member.

The present invention relates to a multilayer structure at least an outer layer and an inner layer which contain a polypropylene resin as a main component, a barrier resin layer containing an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer as a main component, and a metal deposited layer containing aluminum as a main component; a packaging material for a retort therewith; a method for recovering the multilayer structure; and a recovered composition comprising a recovered material of the multilayer structure. There is provided a multilayer structure exhibiting excellent recyclability and excellent appearance, gas barrier ability and shading performance both before and after retorting treatment, and a packaging material for a retort therewith.

The invention relates to a container (30), in particular a bottle (30), for storing and optionally applying a liquid, solvent-containing compositions, having a multi-layer wall (20) comprising at least one side wall of the bottle, the bottom of the bottle and optionally a discharge region at the opening of the bottle, the multi-layer wall (20) comprising at least an inner layer (21), a barrier layer (22) and an outer layer (23), the barrier layer (22) being adapted to form a barrier for oxygen and/or water vapour, the inner layer (21) and/or the outer layer (23) having a microcellular structure (24), the microcellular structure (24) having fluid bubbles (25), and the fluid bubbles (25) being product of a physically and/or chemically introduced blowing agent. Moreover, the invention relates to a method for producing a container, in particular a bottle (30) for storing and optionally applying a liquid, solvent-containing composition, having a multi-layer wall (20), as well as use of a multi-layer wall (20) for producing the container (30).

A plastic preform apparatus is disclosed that is suitable for forming a bottle. The plastic preform apparatus features a neck portion adapted to engage a closure and includes a support ring at its lowermost point. The neck portion features a first wall thickness, and an elongated body portion including a cylindrical wall portion and an end cap. An upper segment of the body portion adjacent to the support ring features a second wall thickness substantially similar to the first wall thickness and less than a third wall thickness in a lower segment of the body portion.

A non-foil packaging laminate for liquid food packaging comprises a layer of paper or other cellulose-based material, outermost liquid tight, heat sealable layers of polyolefin-based polymers and, vapour-deposition coated onto the inner side of the layer of paper or cellulose-based material, an induction heat susceptible metal coating. Also disclosed is a method for manufacturing of the packaging laminate, a packaging container that is made from the packaging laminate and a method of induction heat sealing the packaging laminate into packaging containers.
