Described herein are multi-unit storage devices where two separate compartments are joined in a manner such that accessing one of the compartments does not compromise product held in the other compartment. The separate compartments may be vacuum or otherwise sealed such that when the seal is broken, access to the products contained therein is provided. Each of the compartments may be independently sealed.

In some embodiments, a system for dispensing liquid from a container holding a liquid comprises a reservoir mountable to the container so as to be in fluidic communication with the container. The reservoir may comprise an inlet and an outlet. When mounted to the container, the reservoir may be configured to measure a predetermined quantity of liquid while in first orientation and to simultaneously dispense the predetermined quantity of liquid from the outlet and receive a refilling quantity of liquid through the inlet while in a second orientation that is angled relative to the first orientation above a threshold angle.

According to some embodiments, a carton handle of a liquid carton is disclosed. Further, the carton handle may include a frame including a plurality of side walls enclosing a hollow area. Further, the frame may be configured to enclose a liquid carton corresponding to the liquid carton being positioned in the hollow area. Further, the carton handle may include one or more handles projecting outward away from the hollow area, and downward. Further, the one or more handles may be connected to one or more exterior sides of one or more side walls of the plurality of side walls. Further, the carton handle may include one or more side tabs. Further, the one or more side tabs may be configured to be positioned a gable area of a liquid carton to grip one or more gables of the liquid carton to securely affix the carton handle to the liquid carton.

The invention relates to a container precursor comprising a sheetlike composite, wherein the sheetlike composite a) comprises a layer sequence comprising, as mutually superposed layers, from an inner face of the sheetlike composite to an outer face of the sheetlike composite, i) an inner polymer layer, ii) a barrier layer, and iii) a carrier layer; b) comprises a first longitudinal edge and a further longitudinal edge, wherein the first longitudinal edge is bonded to the further longitudinal edge forming a longitudinal seam of the container precursor; c) comprises, in the following sequence in the direction from the first longitudinal edge to the further longitudinal edge i) a first longitudinal groove, ii) a second longitudinal groove, iii) a third longitudinal groove, and iv) a fourth longitudinal groove, wherein the container precursor can be shaped to form a jacket structure by folding along the first longitudinal groove, the second longitudinal groove, the third longitudinal groove and the fourth longitudinal groove; wherein the container precursor is characterized by a shaping coefficient as per the test method described herein within a range from 8 to 30 m2/g. The invention further relates to a closed container, to a method, to an apparatus and to the use of the container precursor.

The invention relates to a closed container, delimiting an interior from an exterior, wherein the closed container comprises a sheetlike composite; wherein the sheetlike composite comprises a layer sequence, comprising as mutually superposed layers in a direction from an. inner face of the sheetlike composite to an outer face of the sheetlike composite a) an inner polymer layer, b) a barrier layer, and c) a carrier layer; wherein the closed container is characterised by a shaping coefficient, determined according to the method described herein, in the range from 1.0 to 10.0 m.sup.2/kg. Further, the invention relates to a method by which a closed container with a shaping coefficient is obtainable; to the closed container obtainable by this method; to an apparatus, designed for producing one of the afore mentioned closed containers; to a use of a sheetlike composite for producing one of the afore mentioned closed containers; and to a use of one of the aforementioned closed containers for storing a foodstuff.

A laminated package for solid products in powder or grain form, includes a set of stiffening notches, a dispensing mouth with a seal, valves for loading inert gas, in which the lateral folds of the upper face are folded inwards under the front and rear flaps, and the lateral folds of the lower face are folded outward and folded and stuck on the lower face over the front and rear flaps, and a method for forming the package.

A lid-spout assembly for a package having a main body including a designated pour opening and being filled with a pourable product. The lid-spout assembly comprises at least a spout having a pouring outlet, a lid configured to selectively close and open the pouring outlet and a tethering element tethering the lid to the spout. The spout includes at least a base frame configured to couple the spout to the main body about the designated pour opening and a collar carrying the pouring outlet and protruding from the base frame. The tethering element includes a first end fixed to the lid and a second end fixed to the collar.

A composite packaging material sheet for the formation of a composite package comprising at least a packaging material sheet base having a designated opening and an opening device applied on the packaging material sheet base and about the designated opening. The packaging material sheet base comprises at least a first face and a second face opposite to the first face and a plurality of crease lines delimiting a plurality of panels. The opening device comprises a base frame for coupling the opening device to the packaging material sheet base and about the designated opening. The base frame comprises at least a first flange connected to the second face and having a rectilinear peripheral portion, the rectilinear peripheral portion being adjacent and parallel to one respective crease line defining a reference crease line.

An environment protection bottle container includes a container main body and an output main body. The container main body includes a substrate layer and at least one anti-seepage paint layer. The container main body is formed with a top face, a bottom face and a peripheral face, which together define a receiving space. Two ends of the peripheral face are respectively connected with the top and the bottom faces. The top face has a reception section. The output main body is disposed on the reception section. The output main body has a support section in abutment with the top face. The container main body is easy to decompose in natural environment so that the destruction to the environment is reduced. In addition, the output main body is securely and replaceably connected with the container main body so that the output main body is reusable to reduce the waste material.

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.
