A packaging container having excellent water repelling properties on the outer or inner surface of the packaging container includes at least an outer resin layer, a paper core layer, and an inner resin layer. Minute protrusions are formed on the surface of the outer resin layer or the inner resin layer, and the minute protrusion structure has a fractal dimension of 1.08 to 1.17, wherein the fractal dimension is a numeric value calculated by the box count method at a resolution at which the length per one pixel is 0.5-1.0 μm.

Corrugated box assemblies, blanks, and systems for individually shipping a bag of liquid stored therein and converting an inner portion into a bag-in-box dispenser are provided. An example box assembly comprises an inner portion comprising a plurality of walls. The inner portion includes an interior configured to receive and store the bag of liquid, which may range from about 3 to 6 gallons. The inner portion further includes a removable perforation feature defined by a series of perforations on at least one of a front wall and a front top flap extending from the front wall. A top portion and a bottom portion each comprise a plurality of walls that, when formed, define an opening sized to fit around the inner portion. The box assembly may be configured to pass individual box shipping test standards, such as ISTA and SIOC test standards. Methods of forming the box assembly are also provided.

Barrier films comprising a PECVD barrier coating from diamond-like carbon are disclosed, along with methods of manufacturing such films, and laminated packaging materials comprising such films, in particular for liquid food packaging, are disclosed. Packaging containers comprising the laminated packaging material or being made from the laminated packaging material, in particular a packaging container for liquid food packaging, are also disclosed.

A packaging laminate that includes a barrier film having a PECVD barrier coating of diamond-like carbon is disclosed, along with a method of manufacturing such films, and laminated packaging materials comprising such films, in particular intended for liquid food packaging are disclosed. Packaging containers that include the laminated packaging material or being made from the laminated packaging material, in particular to a packaging container intended for liquid food packaging are also disclosed.

A method for producing a packaging material comprises providing a core material layer of fibre-based material having an inner side and an outer side, embossing the core material layer for forming embossed features having an initial height, the embossed features protruding from the outer side of the core material layer to later form a tactile pattern on a side of the package to be formed by the packaging material, and laminating at least one layer to the inner side of the embossed core material layer such that the height of the embossed features is temporarily reduced to a minimum height.

The invention relates to a device comprising a first fixing element, a further fixing element and a folded planar composite; wherein the first fixing element comprises a first fixing surface and the further fixing element comprises a further fixing surface; wherein the folded planar composite is at least partially fixed between the first fixing surface and the further fixing surface; wherein the folded planar composite comprises a first composite region; wherein the first composite region comprises a first layer sequence comprising a first composite layer comprising a first carrier layer, a second composite layer comprising a second carrier layer, a third composite layer comprising a third carrier layer and a fourth composite layer comprising a fourth carrier layer; wherein in the first composite region the second composite layer is joined to the third composite layer and the third composite layer is joined to the fourth composite layer; wherein in the first composite region the third carrier layer is characterised by a smaller layer thickness than in each case one selected from the group consisting of the first carrier layer, the second carrier layer and the fourth carrier layer or a combination of at least two of these; wherein the first fixing surface or the further fixing surface or both comprises a recess comprising a first recess region; wherein the first composite region is located at least partially between the first recess region and the first fixing surface or the further fixing surface.

A packaging container formed by folding a sheet material and includes a container body that has a trunk, a top and a bottom. The trunk serves as side panels, while the top and the bottom are respectively connected to ends of the trunk. In the packaging container, a first weakened portion is linearly formed in the container body.

A packaging container having excellent water repelling properties on the outer or inner surface of the packaging container includes at least an outer resin layer, a paper core layer, and an inner resin layer. Minute protrusions are formed on the surface of the outer resin layer or the inner resin layer, and the minute protrusion structure has a fractal dimension of 1.08 to 1.17, wherein the fractal dimension is a numeric value calculated by the box count method at a resolution at which the length per one pixel is 0.5-1.0 m.

The invention is an improvement of the well-known gable top packaging, commonly seen in milk and juice products. The improvement lies in the opening and closing of such packaging with a pull-to-open type opening. This invention addresses the problem that this type of packaging not is water tight after opening. The invention solves this leaking problem by adding a so called zip lock fastener in the opening area of the package. Zip lock fasteners are characterized by having an interlocking groove and ridge that form a tight seal when pressed together. When the user is folding in the pouring spout the zip lock fasteners meet and form a liquid tight joint. The invention is concerning the type and function of the zip lock and its placement. The invention describes as well how to produce gable-top packaging with this new liquid tight zip lock closure.

Laminated barrier films that include a PECVD barrier coating of diamond-like carbon are disclosed, along with a method of manufacturing such films, and edge-covering strips made from such films, in particular intended for liquid carton packaging are disclosed. Packaging containers that include the edge-covering strip and in particular to a packaging container intended for liquid food packaging are also disclosed.
