A composite package, in particular a beverage carton package for liquid foodstuffs is depicted and described which consists at least partially of a package laminate, having a package base body including package edges, an at least partially angular package base and package gable wherein the package base body defines, in an idealised manner, a package front side, package rear side and at least two lateral package sides attaching to the package rear side as well as a package laminate and a package sleeve blank for manufacturing such a composite package. In order to improve grip and ergonomy for an easy to manufacture package, provision is made for the package front side to have a positive arching at least in sections which in each case passes into a lateral package side for a grip panel to be formed at least in sections in the region of the package rear side.

A packaging container includes a first portion and a second portion that are placed on each other. Each of the first portion and the second portion has a projection polygonal surface having a projection polygonal shape, side portion polygonal surfaces extending from respective sides of the projection polygonal surface, a plurality of to-be-folded surfaces provided between the respective adjacent side portion polygonal surfaces, and a peripheral portion extending over an entirety of an outer edge. The first portion and the second portion are connected to each other at the peripheral portions by a side seal portion obtained by sealing the peripheral portions to each other, or by a connection portion obtained by folding the sheet material, and have air-tightness except for an opening.

A paper container having a top portion (4) that is tightly closed by bonding together opposing surfaces of first top sealing panels (20) and opposing surfaces of second top sealing panels (22), and each of side panels (16) is folded along a first side panel folding line (26) and a second side panel folding line (27) to form a flap (35) having a substantially triangular shape. The top portion (4) is formed by folding down the flaps (35) onto right and left side surfaces of a tubular body (3) through mountain-folding along front-side top panel vertical folding lines (17), front-side top panel vertical folding lines (18), and front-side top sealing vertical folding lines (23), and through valley-folding along second top portion horizontal folding lines (15) and back-side top sealing vertical folding lines (24).

A spout comprises a collar carrying a pouring outlet and an inlet opening for the pourable product and delimiting a flow channel. The collar comprises an inner surface delimiting the flow channel. The inner surface comprises at least a main surface portion and a slanted surface portion. The main and slanted surface portions are such that a first intersection of a first intersection plane with the inner surface results in at least one first one-dimensional curve, a second intersection of a second intersection plane with the inner surface results in at least one second one-dimensional curve. The first and second one-dimensional curves each comprise respective first and second portions lying on respectively the slanted surface portion and the main surface portion. The first one-dimensional curve is superimposable on the second one-dimensional curve such that at least the respective first portions and the respective second portions are superposed.

An aseptic liquid packaging container (100) is disclosed. The liquid packaging container made from a cup stock paperboard and may be a laminate structure (200b) configured to form the container. It can be a plurality of layers configured to form the laminate structure (200b) wherein at least one layer of the plurality of layers is a cup stock paperboard layer (204b).

A lid-spout assembly for a package intended to contain a pourable product and having a main body including a designated pour opening through which the pourable product can be poured, in use; the lid-spout assembly including a spout having a pouring outlet fluidly connectable with the designated pour opening; and a lid configured to be coupled to the spout to selectively close and open the pouring outlet; the spout including: a base frame configured to couple the spout to the main body about the designated pour opening and having a first wall configured to face, in use, the inner space of the main body, and a collar carrying the pouring outlet and protruding from the base frame; the base frame including a plurality of recesses obtained on the first wall.

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 comprises 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 lid-spout assembly including at least a spout having a pouring outlet, a lid configured to selectively close and open the pouring outlet, a tethering element fixed to the lid and the spout and a tamper evidence element rupturably fixed to one of the lid and the spout and fixedly connected to the other one of the lid and the spout.

A lid-spout assembly for a package having a main body including a designated pour opening. The lid-spout assembly includes at least a spout having a pouring outlet, a lid configured to selectively close and open the pouring outlet and being controllable between at least a closed position and an open position, a tethering element tethering the lid to the spout, a retaining group configured to interact with the tethering element and/or the lid for retaining the lid in the open position. The retaining group includes at least a support portion being configured to be positioned within the main body and an interaction portion being configured to interact with the tethering element and/or the lid for retaining the lid in the open position and connected to the support portion and being configured to extend away from the main body.

A system for carbonating a personalized beverage may comprise a base container including at least one sidewall defining a liquid storage area, and a carbon dioxide storage member configured to be sealingly coupled to said base container. The system may further comprise a carbon dioxide cartridge configured to selectively release carbon dioxide when engaged with said carbon dioxide storage member, and wherein said carbon dioxide storage member further comprises a pressure regulator configured to, when actuated, release the said carbon dioxide from said carbon dioxide cartridge at a rate configured to carbonate a beverage within said liquid storage over a period of time greater than 6 hours and less than 36 hours.
