The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing of a laminated cellulose-based liquid or semi-liquid food packaging material, wherein the laminated packaging material has a bulk material layer of paper, paperboard or other cellulose-based material, an innermost, heat sealable and liquid-tight layer of a thermoplastic polymer, the innermost polymer layer intended to be in direct contact with the packaged food product, a barrier layer laminated between the bulk layer and the innermost layer. The invention further relates the laminated packaging materials obtained by the method and to a packaging container for liquid food packaging, comprising the laminated packaging material or being made from the laminated packaging material obtained by the method.

A refillable container includes: an inner container having a suction port at a center of an upper surface portion and a bottom portion with a pyramid shape having a deepest portion at a center of the bottom portion; a support member configured to hold the bottom portion of the inner container to support the inner container in a standing state; a lid member fitted to an outer periphery of the inner container; a discharge pump on a top surface portion of the lid member, the discharge pump including a suction tube inserted through the suction port into the inner container; and a positioning device for positioning the inner container in a vertical direction such that a distal end of the suction tube is located in the pyramid shape of the bottom portion of the inner container.

A package for pourable food products and method for moulding a polymeric opening portion to a packaging sheet material is provided. The package can include an opening portion and a weakening feature. In some embodiments, the opening portion can be made of a polymer composition. In some embodiments, the weakening feature has a thickness below 200 micrometers and is thinner than parts of the opening portion directly adjacent to said weakening feature. The polymer composition can include sodium sulphite particles. In some embodiments, the sodium sulphite particles have the following size characteristics: (i) 0% having a size above 75 micrometers, and (ii) an average size below 25 micrometers.

A packaging material is provided, comprising a set of crease lines (10, 10) along which the packaging material is intended to be folded in order to form a package. The set of crease lines (10, 10) comprises at least one first crease line (10a, 10a) being configured to fold easier than an adjacent second crease line (10b, 10b). The said crease lines are intended to define a corner surface of the package.

Shown and described is a plastic element for a package, comprising: a main body of plastic, and a flange for fastening a composite material of a package, wherein the plastic element is produced from a thermoplastic material. In order in the case of single-use packages to create a low-cost possible way of obtaining information about the state of content of the packages, it is proposed to arrange an electrical, in particular electronic element on the plastic element or integrate it in the plastic element. Also shown and described is a package with such a plastic element.

The invention relates to a closed container, delimiting an interior from an exterior, wherein the closed container comprises a sheetlike composite; wherein the sheetlike composite comprises a layer sequence, comprising as mutually superposed layers in a direction from an. inner face of the sheetlike composite to an outer face of the sheetlike composite a) an inner polymer layer, b) a barrier layer, and c) a carrier layer; wherein the closed container is characterised by a shaping coefficient, determined according to the method described herein, in the range from 1.0 to 10.0 m.sup.2/kg. Further, the invention relates to a method by which a closed container with a shaping coefficient is obtainable; to the closed container obtainable by this method; to an apparatus, designed for producing one of the afore mentioned closed containers; to a use of a sheetlike composite for producing one of the afore mentioned closed containers; and to a use of one of the aforementioned closed containers for storing a foodstuff.

The invention relates to a container precursor comprising a sheetlike composite, wherein the sheetlike composite a) comprises a layer sequence comprising, as mutually superposed layers, from an inner face of the sheetlike composite to an outer face of the sheetlike composite, i) an inner polymer layer, ii) a barrier layer, and iii) a carrier layer; b) comprises a first longitudinal edge and a further longitudinal edge, wherein the first longitudinal edge is bonded to the further longitudinal edge forming a longitudinal seam of the container precursor; c) comprises, in the following sequence in the direction from the first longitudinal edge to the further longitudinal edge i) a first longitudinal groove, ii) a second longitudinal groove, iii) a third longitudinal groove, and iv) a fourth longitudinal groove, wherein the container precursor can be shaped to form a jacket structure by folding along the first longitudinal groove, the second longitudinal groove, the third longitudinal groove and the fourth longitudinal groove; wherein the container precursor is characterized by a shaping coefficient as per the test method described herein within a range from 8 to 30 m2/g. The invention further relates to a closed container, to a method, to an apparatus and to the use of the container precursor.

A refillable container including: a liquid inner container (100) having a suction port formed at a center of an upper surface portion and a bottom portion (103) formed into a pyramid shape having a deepest portion at a center of the bottom portion; a support member (2) configured to hold the bottom portion of the liquid inner container to support the liquid inner container in a standing state; a lid member (4) fitted to an outer periphery of the liquid inner container; a discharge pump (7) provided on a top surface portion of the lid member and including a suction tube (6) inserted through the suction port into the liquid container; and a positioning device (8) for positioning a position of the liquid inner container in a vertical direction is determined such that a distal end of the suction tube is located in the pyramid shape of the bottom portion.

The invention relates to a stopper for a box-type container with air admission, consisting of four parts: a stopper, a seal, a mouth and a movable part. When the seal is removed by pulling the tongue, the stopper can be inserted into the mouth and move the movable part, producing two parts, one for the admission of air and one for the outflow of the liquid, in both cases perforating the plastic-aluminum film. By pulling the stopper outwards, the fingers of the user pressing on the fingerprints, the mouth opens, releasing the clip of the stopper and pouring the liquid out of the box without splashing or continuous gushing of liquid.

A package for pourable food products and method for moulding a polymeric opening portion to a packaging sheet material is provided. The package can include an opening portion and a weakening feature. In some embodiments, the opening portion can be made of a polymer composition. In some embodiments, the weakening feature has a thickness below 200 micrometers and is thinner than parts of the opening portion directly adjacent to said weakening feature. The polymer composition can include sodium sulphite particles. In some embodiments, the sodium sulphite particles have the following size characteristics: (i) 0% having a size above 75 micrometers, and (ii) an average size below 25 micrometers.
