A flat-shaped composite material is represented and described for manufacturing a package, including: a polymer outer layer, a polymer inner layer, a fibrous support layer, which is arranged between the polymer outer layer and the polymer inner layer. The flat-shaped composite material has a plurality of fold lines, which are arranged and designed such that a closed package can be manufactured by folding the flat-shaped composite material along the fold lines and by connecting seam surfaces of the flat-shaped composite material, and a sleeve surface. The sleeve surface includes a front surface, a first side surface, a second side surface, a first rear surface, a second rear surface, and base surfaces. The base surfaces include triangular base surfaces, quadrangular base surfaces, and gable surfaces. The gable surfaces include triangular gable surfaces and quadrangular gable surfaces. The base surfaces and the gable surfaces are arranged on opposite sides of the sleeve surface. The manufacture of packages with even more complex geometries without impairing the rigidity of the package should be achieved by a third sleeve fold line, which has a plurality of sections, which each adjoin a side surface and a rear surface, and of which at least one section is curved and of which at least one section is straight. A package sleeve made of a composite material and a package manufactured from the composite material or from the package sleeve are also represented and described.

A pour spout that is sufficiently rigid to be prevented from breaking due to ultrasonic vibrations during welding and that is readily separated from a packaging container being broken down, and a packaging container with the pour spout. The pour spout includes a cylindrical sidewall and a disk-like flange extending outwardly from one end of the sidewall. The flange has a to-be-cut portion that is a recess arranged annularly, and a rib disposed at an annular projection or at the to-be-cut portion.

A beverage container to enable the manufacture and packaging of two flavors of juice or other liquid drinks. At present, the preference and favorite flavor of an individual consumer is not accommodated unless two or more products are purchased. This invention provides a cardboard or plastic divider panel that is incorporated into any existing cartons that overcomes these limitations by enabling a carton to be divided into two flavors. Each side of the beverage container has a spout for separate pouring the contents of that particular side.

A package made of a composite material is represented and described, including: a package base with two front base corners and with two rear base corners, a package gable with two front gable corners and with two rear gable corners, and a package base body with a front panel, a first side panel, a second side panel and a rear panel. The package base and the package gable are arranged on opposite sides of the package base body. The composite material has a polymer inner layer, a polymer outer layer and a fibrous support layer, which is arranged between the polymer outer layer and the polymer inner layer. In order to enable the manufacture of packages with even more complex geometries without impairing the rigidity of the package, it is proposed that the package base body has at least one stress-relief panel, which is arranged between the front panel and one of the two side panels.

A paper-based or paperboard-based container (100) for holding a pourable food product is described, the container comprising: a substantially planar bottom portion; a top portion arranged opposite the bottom portion and comprising a top panel and a top sealing region (126) forming a top seal of the container; and a wall portion extending between the bottom portion and the top portion and comprising a plurality of wall sections (108b, 108c) bordering the top panel and a longitudinal sealing band (14) extending between the bottom portion and the top portion and over at least one of the wall sections, wherein the top sealing region is folded onto said at least one of the wall sections comprising the longitudinal sealing band (14) and being attached thereto. A blank and a sleeve for producing the container is also described, as is a method for producing the container.

An embodiment of a box is configured to be transformed to include a tapered structure configured such that when the transformed box is inserted into the receptacle, the tapered structure provides a universal fit. An embodiment of an extender is formed by steps including providing a single piece of material having a first edge and a second edge and forming, by cutting the single piece of material, at least one top extension extending from at least one wall and at least one bottom extension extending from the at least one wall such that the at least one top extension is foldable to abut the at least one wall. A method for collecting waste materials includes providing a receptacle and a box, and disrupting the extender. An embodiment of an extender comprises a first wall, a second wall, a third wall, and a fourth wall.

To obtain a paper container, which allows an upper end portion of a body panel to be reliably dented at the time of unsealing of the paper container so as to be easily unsealed, on the body panel (7), a first auxiliary folding line (43) having a downwardly curved shape is formed to have end portions (41, 42) arranged so as to connect the reference points (40) to each other, or connect together positions that are near the reference points (40) on the body vertical folding lines (3, 4) or positions that are away from the body vertical folding lines (3, 4) and below the reference points (40) in a height direction of each of the body vertical folding lines.

There is described a pre-creased sheet packaging material for forming a sealed package comprising: a plurality of longitudinal crease lines, which extend along a longitudinal direction; a plurality of transversal crease lines, which extend along a transversal direction; at least one first additional crease line, which extends along a further direction, which is slanted with respect to longitudinal direction and transversal direction; a first joining point, at which longitudinal crease line and a transversal crease line join with respect to one another; and at least one first area, which is bounded by longitudinal crease line, transversal crease line and additional crease line; further direction being incident to first longitudinal crease line and to first transversal crease line in first joining point; at least one of first longitudinal crease line, first transversal crease line and first additional crease line being interrupted at first joining point.
