A condiment distribution apparatus is provided. The apparatus may include a condiment delivery fitment including a condiment delivery base comprising two curved exterior surfaces formed adjacent to a flat top surface, a curved condiment delivery tube having a remote end and a near end, the near end affixed to the flat top surface of the condiment delivery base, and product valve distribution means positioned within the condiment delivery base and attached to the curved condiment delivery tube enabling rotation of the curved condiment delivery tube relative to the condiment delivery base, wherein rotation of the product valve distribution means selectively inhibits or enables condiment product delivery via the curved condiment delivery tube.

Systems and methods of a container having a tack welded fin seal. The container may include a film, a tack weld joining a first outer portion of a first edge and a second outer portion of the first edge, and a fin seal joining a first inner portion of the first edge of the film and a second inner portion of a second edge of the film. The container may include a faceplate integrally molded to an outer layer of a first end portion of the film. The faceplate may include substantially the same composition as an outer layer of the first end portion, such that no distinct layers are formed between the faceplate and the film. The tack weld may be formed at a tack welding system, and the fin seal may be formed at a fin sealing system having a mandrel.

A dispenser (10) for dispensing a flowable material M has a container (12) having an outer wall (20) and membrane (14) collectively defining a first chamber (22) configured to contain the flowable material M. The membrane (14) has a thickness and a weld seam (40) wherein the weld seam (40) has a thickness less than the thickness of the membrane (14). A fracturing mechanism (16) is operably connected to the container (12). The fracturing mechanism (16) has an extending member (64) projecting from the outer wall (20) of the container (12). The extending member (64) has a projection (66) positioned proximate the membrane (14), wherein in response to deflection of the extending member (64), the projection (66) deflects the outer wall (20) proximate the membrane (14) wherein the weld seam (40) fractures creating an opening (41) through the membrane (14) configured to allow the flowable material M to pass therethrough and from the dispenser (10).

A package for consuming a food product in a frozen or non-frozen state. The package includes a pouch body and a fitment. The pouch body defines a chamber for receiving the food product and includes a cut of predetermined depth to facilitate tearing of the pouch body to create an opening for dispensing the food product in a frozen state. The fitment includes a spout for dispensing the food product in a non-frozen state.
