A package or container is disclosed that includes an opening device in conjunction with a self-sealing valve for facilitating opening of the package and for dispensing fluids in a controlled manner. In one embodiment, the opening device can comprise a breachable bubble. The breachable bubble can be in communication with a fluid channel that operates in conjunction with the self-sealing valve. The package can include a folded portion for sealing the fluid channel and allowing the bubble to be breached when a user applies pressure. Once the bubble is breached, the folded portion can be unfolded for dispensing a fluid.

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.

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.

An apparatus and system for dispensing a food and beverage product where a flowable product is extracted from a flexible pouch, and where a nozzle region exists through which the flowable product evacuates the flexible pouch. The nozzle region has a lock seal that locks the flowable product within the flexible pouch when a pressure less than a first threshold value is applied to the flexible pouch. There is also a frangible seal located above the nozzle region that is configured to lock the flowable product within the flexible pouch when pressure less than a second threshold value is applied to the flexible pouch and when the first threshold value is larger than the second threshold value.

A multilayered, flexible, and generally flat pouch for transporting and dispensing chocolate, including first and second elongated generally rectangular multilayered portions sealed together to yield a deformable generally rectangular fluid-tight sachet defining an internal volume and separating the internal volume from an external environment. The sachet further defines a top end, an oppositely disposed bottom end, and first and second sides extending therebetween. An untempered chocolate portion is contained within the internal volume. A tear notch is formed through at least one side and disposed adjacent the top end and a weakened tear strip extends between the second side and the bottom end. The sachet is substantially fluid-tight, and first and second elongated generally rectangular multilayered portions each further comprise an outer layer, an inner high-slip layer, a printable binding layer disposed between the inner and outer layers, and a metal vapor barrier layer disposed between the inner and outer layers. When actuated, the first weakened tear strip produces a corner pour spout through which molten chocolate may be extracted from the sachet. When actuated, the second weakened tear strip produces a central aperture through which molten chocolate may be extracted from the sachet.

The present disclosure relates to a bubble valve for flexible containers wherein the bubble valve can be in a first configuration wherein a hinged header or flip-top is in a straight configuration and the valve is closed, or in a second configuration wherein the hinged header or flip-top is pulled back and the valve permits fluid flow.
