An improved nylon-free recyclable multilayer package and a method for manufacturing the same is provided that addresses the shortcomings of currently available recyclable materials for flexible packaging and containers. One object of embodiments of the present invention will be to provide a flexible plastic package suitable for curbside recycling, for example, a package that may be in compliance with recyclability as defined by the Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR). One such embodiment comprises a package manufactured from a material that is substantially free of nylon. Another or a second embodiment comprises a package manufactured from a material using a certain optimized ratio of compatibilizers in order to achieve suitable packaging performance and standards for recyclability. The flexible recyclable multilayer packaging material comprises a first laminate film and a second laminate film. The first laminate film further comprises, in order: a first sealable polyethylene layer with low initial seal band defining an exterior layer of the first laminate film; a second sealable polyethylene having a certain pre-determined thickness; a first tie layer; a first gas barrier layer of ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH); a second tie layer; a second sealable polyethylene layer; and a third sealable polyethylene layer. The second laminate film further comprises, in order: a first sealable polyethylene layer with low initial seal band defining an exterior layer of the second laminate film; a first sealable polyethylene layer having a certain pre-determined thickness; a first tie layer; a first gas barrier layer of ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH); a second tie layer; a second sealable polyethylene layer; a third sealable polyethylene layer; and wherein the flexible material is substantially free of nylon.

The plastic vial for dispensing highly viscous or semisolid materials is formed of two sheets of thermoformable plastic. Sheets are thermoformed to form a raised profile defining a cavity. The profile has a spout portion with a parting line extends across the spout portion through particular sheet. A bending top portion of the vial snaps the parting line forming an opening in the spout to permit access to the contents.

In the alcohol market or in the liquor industries, it is common to find that the packaging activity is carried out in glass bottles and on some occasions in PET (POLYETHYLENE TEREFALATE) and PP (POLYPROPYLENE) type containers. In the case of these latter packages, there are problems of conservation of quality, aroma and flavor, since they give off particles because they are not completely resistant to alcohol. Now, glass bottles are the most used since thanks to their 10 barrier property they preserve the flavor and quality of these kinds of drinks for longer, maintaining the level of alcohol, aroma and flavor from bottling but having serious transport and packaging problems.

The present invention provides a bottle of a new multilayer material in 15 that is packaged in a smaller dose than conventional ones, also called single-dose liquor or spirits, in which the preservation of the liquor is guaranteed for a prolonged period thanks to the incorporation of a technical solution that does not allow the release of particles in the drink for up to 27 months. Likewise, the new bottle has an easy open system that allows guaranteeing the non-reuse of the packaging to pack adulterated liquor, which is a frequent problem in the liquor industry.

A sachet (10) for containing solid tablets (30) having a cavity (11) with an outlet tunnel (20) a long which a tablet (30) can be moved in an outward direction, the outlet tunnel (20) comprising sequential sections (20A, 20B) in the outward direction aligned at a non-180° angle to each other, and the cavity (20) contains at least one solid tablet (30) which can be urged into the inlet opening (21), along the outlet tunnel and out through the outlet opening (22). The angled sections of the outlet tunnel impart child-resistance to the sachet.

A pouch for fluid comprises: a first film (1100) and a second film (1200) connected to each other by means of a stronger seal (1300) and a weaker seal (2700) so as to form a cavity (1500) for a fluid, wherein the cavity (1500) has a perimeter and said perimeter comprises at least a part of the stronger seal (1300) and at least a part of the weaker seal (2700), and wherein the weaker seal (2700) is in proximity of the stronger seal (1300).

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 method for performing a task in registration with a discrete seal in at least one material is described herein. The method involves simultaneously forming a discrete seal and a fiducial/eye mark in the at least one material. The method includes providing a detection device; providing a unit operation mechanism; and performing an operation on the material(s) in registration with the discrete seal. The task performed in registration with the discrete seal is based upon the location of the eye mark that was simultaneously formed with the discrete seal. A method of making flexible containers using cutting to form the outer periphery of the packages is described herein. Also described herein are flexible containers and container blanks made by such a method.

The present disclosure provides a flexible pouch. In an embodiment, the flexible pouch includes opposing flexible films. The flexible films define a common peripheral edge. A microcapillary strip is sealed between the opposing flexible films. A first side of the microcapillary strip is located at a first side of the common peripheral edge and a second side of the microcapillary strip located at a second side of the common peripheral edge. A peripheral seal extends along at least a portion of the common peripheral edge. The peripheral seal comprises a sealed microcapillary segment. The peripheral seal forms a closed flexible pouch having a storage compartment. A liquid is present in the storage compartment.

The present disclosure relates to a closure which uses a bubble valve with three chambers. A transverse bubble element on the product side of the bubble valve can expand or inflate thereby inhibiting flow, or contract or deflate thereby allowing flow. A longitudinal bubble element to the side of the bubble valve is used to receive the contents from the transverse bubble element when the transverse bubble element is deflated.

Methods of making flexible containers that include structural support frames, including methods for sealing such containers.
