A break-open single-dose sealed package and method for the production thereof; the sealed package has: a first sheet of semi-rigid plastic material; a second sheet of flexible plastic material set on top of and welded to the first sheet along an annular weld, so as to define a sealed pocket containing a dose of a product; and a pre-weakened area that develops transversely and is obtained in a central area of the first sheet; the pocket is divided into two distinct and separated chambers which are insulated from one another and each contain a corresponding component of the product; and the pocket is divided into the two chambers due to a central weld connecting the second sheet to the first sheet and is weak, so as to be broken by exerting pressure on at least one of the two chambers.

An administration packaging for a pharmaceutical product as well as an apparatus and a method for producing and filling such administration packaging in which a predetermined breaking zone for opening the administration packaging by breaking is generated by thermoforming. For this purpose, the apparatus has a molding tool with a forming device for forming the predetermined breaking zone. Alternatively, or in addition, the predetermined breaking zone may form a cross-section reduction or nozzle of an administration channel of the administration packaging. Alternatively, or in addition, the predetermined breaking zone may only extend over the administration channel, but not over a rim of the administration packaging. Alternatively, or in addition, the predetermined breaking zone may be formed as a kink.

A fully sealed pouch containing a drink is provided with a straw within the pouch accessible to allow a user to draw drink from the pouch. The pouch defines a top portion, a bottom portion, and respective side edges interconnecting the top portion and the bottom portion. A corner portion is defined between the top portion and one side edge, the corner portion being openable by a user to access the straw. The pouch forms a closed cavity containing the drink, the cavity being defined by the top portion, the bottom portion, and side edges and by at least one wall defining a front face and a rear face for the cavity. The front and rear faces are connected together in the top portion. The front and rear faces are continuous with each other at, or are connected along, the other of the side edges. The front and rear faces are connected, optionally via a gusset, to provide the bottom portion. The one side edge is formed by a first heat seal connecting the front and rear faces; and a second heat seal connects the front and rear faces and extends in an incomplete fashion from the top portion to the bottom portion, being spaced inboard of the first heat seal. The second heat seal divides the interior of the cavity into major and minor portions interconnected so that drink may flow between them, the minor portion lying between the first and second heat seals, and the straw being located within this minor portion. A number of different ways are described in which the corner portion may be opened along a line of weakness formed in the pouch and extending generally parallel to the bottom portion from the first heat seal to and ending at the second heat seal.

The present invention provides a sheet material container being made of a sheet material and including a body portion and a bottom portion that is to be disposed on a placement surface, and the sheet material including a plurality of film layers. A body portion sheet that constitutes the body portion includes a bonding portion where peripheral edge portions of the sheet materials are bonded. In a bottom surface sheet that constitutes the bottom portion, a non-adhesive region is provided in the plurality of film layers. The non-adhesive region forms a bottom filler-filled portion. The bottom filler-filled portion extends annularly around a non-filled portion, and includes at least three protruding leg portions that are to be placed on the placement surface so as to allow the container to stand by itself. The protruding leg portions protrude toward the placement surface past other portions in the bottom filler-filled portion due a leg forming portion.

A packet includes a front panel and a back panel defining an internal volume therebetween. The front panel and the back panel include a first edge having a plurality of first recesses formed therein. A nozzle provides a path of fluid communication from the internal volume, through the first edge, to an exterior of the packet. A consumer product is disposed within the internal volume. A cap is configured to prevent the consumer product from flowing from the internal volume, through the nozzle, and to the exterior of the packet.

The present invention provides a sheet material container (90) being made of a sheet material (20) and including a body portion (12) and a bottom portion (25) that is to be disposed on a placement surface, and the sheet material (20) including a plurality of film layers (20a,20b, and 20c). A body portion sheet (93a) that constitutes the body portion (12) includes a bonding portion (94) where peripheral edge portions of the sheet materials (20) are bonded. In a bottom surface sheet (93b) that constitutes the bottom portion (25), a non-adhesive region (99) is provided in the plurality of film layers (20a, 20b, and 20c). The non-adhesive region (99) forms a bottom filler-filled portion (96b). The bottom filler-filled portion (96b) extends annularly around a non-filled portion (96j), and includes at least three protruding leg portions (96m) that are to be placed on the placement surface so as to allow the container (90) to stand by itself. The protruding leg portions (96m) protrude toward the placement surface past other portions in the bottom filler-filled portion (96b) due a leg forming portion (100)

A manufacturing method of a package bag (10) according to the present invention includes: a cured portion forming step of forming a cured portion (15a, 15b) on at least one side of a forming position of a rib (14) by crystallizing at least a portion of a resin constituting a film (11) by heating and cooling the film (11); and a rib forming step of forming a rib (14) by pressing the film (11) using concave and convex molds. According to the present invention, it is possible to maintain an opening state of a spout (12). Further, since additional material is not required, it is possible to suppress increase in the thickness of the package bag (10) and to reduce the bulkiness of the package bags.

A pull tab assembly is described for condiment dispensers such that one or more pull tabs are disposed on a dispenser. An alternative teaches opposing pull tab assemblies placed on either end of a condiment dispenser. A slanted edge associated with the pull tab facilitates the opening of the dispenser. Another embodiment teaches acute angle dispensing devices and alternatively having a flap about the acute angle dispensing devices.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a pouch capable of releasing the fragrance component contained in the content to the outside without opening the pouch while avoiding leakage to the outside and deterioration in quality of the content with a simple configuration, and a liquid content-containing pouch. The pouch of the present invention is a pouch that is formed in a bag shape by forming an outer peripheral sealing part by thermally bonding a film, and accommodates a content in an accommodating part inward from the outer peripheral sealing part, wherein a fragrance component releasing part is formed at a position corresponding to the accommodating part on at least one side of the film, and the fragrance component releasing part is configured of at least one of a material-removed part and a notched score formed in a partial range in a thickness direction of the film.

An apparatus for treatment of a body part such as the hair of a user which includes a treatment material such as coconut oil contained as a single portion within a closed and sealed flexible pouch formed of a flexible laminated plastic material which is foil free so that it can be heated in a microwave oven to warm the treatment material to a required temperature. The pouch includes printed instruction material comprising instructions to warm the material in a microwave oven, to knead the product when heated within the closed pouch and to re-heat in stages to the required temperature and to form an opening in the pouch and apply the warmed treatment material.
