A pouring spout of a container includes a spout main body, a closing member, and an energizing body. The spout main body includes a tubular pouring part and an attached part. The tubular pouring part includes an inflow port through which contents are flown in from a container main body and an outflow port. The attached part is configured to attach the inflow port to the container main body. The closing member is configured as a separate body from the tubular pouring part and fitted onto an inner circumferential surface of the tubular pouring part to close the inflow port. The energizing body presses the closing member from the container main body toward the inflow port. The closing member is capable of being removed from the inner circumferential surface of the tubular pouring part by an external force applied against the pressing by the energizing body.

The invention further relates to the use of a pack (100) for preparing a food or beverage product and to a method for preparing such a food or beverage product.

A disposable receptacle useful with an infant feeding system, including a pliable pouch. The pliable pouch may have a single compartment, or a pair of compartments wherein a first compartment is filled with powdered formula, and a second compartment is filled with distilled water. When compartmentalized, the compartments are separated by a burst seal designed to fail upon subjection to pressure of between about 1-3 lbs. The receptacles include a cylindrical fitment with a one-way valve removably positioned therewithin. A top seal of the pliable pouch is secured about the body of the fitment. The receptacles may be used with an infant feeding system having a support disc with an aperture to receive and secure the fitment, and a nipple having an internal chamber sized and configured to tightly and removably receive a portion of the fitment. The infant feeding system may optionally include a bottle and a securing ring.

The present disclosure provides a flexible container. In an embodiment, the flexible container include (A) a front panel, a rear panel, a first gusseted side panel, and a second gusseted side panel. The gusseted side panels adjoin the front panel and the rear panel along peripheral seals to from a chamber. (B) Each peripheral seal has (i) an arcuate body seal inner edge (ABSIE) with opposing ends, (ii) a tapered seal inner edge (TSIE) extending from each end of the body seal. (C) The flexible container includes at least one ABSIE having a radius of curvature, Rc, from 1.0 mm to 300.0 mm.

Provided is a sheet for container to be used in a flexible container, the sheet for container having a plurality of films layered in the sheet for container, the sheet for container including: a first film including a first base-material layer, which is coated with a first applying-type gas barrier layer and made of a single type of material having a heat-sealing property; and a second film including a second base-material layer, which is coated with a second applying-type gas barrier layer and made of a single type of material that is a same type of material as the first base-material layer, in which: the first film and the second film are attached to each other by heat sealing; and a gas enclosing portion, which is partially non-attached and in which gas is able to be enclosed, is formed between the first film and the second film.

A closure assembly (1) comprising an article (10) with a tubular neck (11) and a cap (30) including an integrated tamper-evident ring member (50) and an integrated strap (70). The tamper-evident ring member is integrally formed to the lower edge (32c) of the skirt (32) of the cap and comprises an annular base portion (51) which is connected via one or more breakable bridges (53) to the skirt. The cap is a snap-on type cap and comprises a pair of wing-shaped handles (33) that each have, seen in side view thereon, an outer periphery (34) with a bottom side (34a), a top side (34b), and a tip (34c) remote from the skirt. The strap is integral at a first end (71) thereof to the annular base portion and at a second end (72) thereof to one of the wing-shaped handles and is adapted to remain connected to both the annular portion of the tamper-evident ring member and the respective wing-shaped handle upon removal of the cap from the neck of the article by the user.

A fitment device may include a core made of a first material and including a securing portion configured to secure to a chassis and a container portion configured to seal to a container. The fitment device includes an aperture including a first end located at the securing portion and a second end located at the container portion, wherein the aperture is configured to receive a probe in the first end. A plug located in the aperture is movable within the aperture upon contact with the probe to open a passageway between the first end and an interior of the container. Other devices and methods are disclosed.

A fitment device may include a core formed from a first material having a first low permeability of oxygen. The core may include a securing portion configured to secure to a chassis, and a container portion including at least one side portion at least partially coated with a second material configured to seal to a container, wherein the first material is different than the second material and includes a different gas permeability of oxygen. An aperture may extend between the securing portion and the container portion. Reagent cartridges and methods of manufacturing and using fitment devices are also disclosed.

Provided is a spouted pouch capable of improving the ability to suspend pouring liquid contents, the ease of adjusting a pouring force, and the ease of repouring. In the spouted pouch (10), a pouch body (20) has flow path control seal portions (22) formed on both left and right sides across an imaginary line A inside the outer edge seal portion (21). Assuming that a thickness dimension of the spout attachment base portion (31a) is taken as X, length dimension from the spout attachment base portion (31a) to the action point portion (22a) of flow path control seal portions (22) is taken as L, and a width dimension between the action point portions (22a) is taken as W, the thickness dimension X, the length dimension L, and the width dimension W are set so as to satisfy relationships of W/X=1.2 to 2.0 and L/X=0.3 to 1.5.

A packaging for liquid food products is provided. The packaging has a flexible bag having a front wall having a transparent portion and a rear wall having, on the inner face, a distinctive region visible from outside through the transparent portion, when not covered by a product contained in the packaging.
