A pouch-type container including a pair of main-body sheets defining a storage space for containing a packaged substance; an opening at a first end of the main-body sheets in a z-direction; a spout at a second end, opposite the opening, of the main-body sheets in the z-direction; and an opening/closing part offset from the opening toward the second end in the z-direction to open and close the storage space. The pouch-type container further includes: a locking band fixed to the main-body sheets at a pair of fixed portions spaced apart in a width direction (x direction) to define an insertion space with the outer surface of one of the main-body sheets, the width direction being perpendicular to the y-direction wherein the main-body sheets face each other and the z-direction; and a lock part including at least one of the main-body sheets and configured to be locked with the locking band.

Regarding the oxyalkylene group-containing PVA-based resin, a package which is almost free from a problem associated with viscosity increase during melt-kneading even if the package is stored for a long time period, and a method for manufacturing the package are disclosed. The package comprises a bag having an oxygen permeability of 1000 cc/m.sup.2.Math.day.Math.atm or less as an amount of oxygen permeated in 24 hours per 1 m.sup.2 of its constituent film under an condition of 25° C. and 65% RH, and an oxyalkylene group-containing PVA-based resin in the bag. The package can suppress the oxidation of the oxyalkylene group-containing PVA and the generation of the carboxyl group-containing compound which may cause to increase viscosity during melt kneading.

The present invention provides a heat resistant fat based confection. The heat resistance of the confection may be conferred either via inclusion of a polyol and at least one other thermal structuring component in the fat based confection, or via preparation of a premix comprising the polyol and at least one other component of the confection, or a combination of these. Methods of making the fat based confection, and packaged fat based confections, are also provided.

The product efficiency of bags each with an end face part is increased. A panel webs is guided to be divided along a line of weakness of the panel web and to be folded along division edges of the panel web. This guiding of the first panel and temporary sealed sections cause a side gusset to be cut open along a line of weakness of the side gusset such that open surfaces are formed. After the forming of the open surfaces, an end face web is supplied to be superposed on folded parts of the panel web and the open surfaces of the side gusset.

A first packaging material includes at least one layer located in both a first region and a second region. A second packaging material includes at least one layer located in both the first region and the second region. The hole includes a proximate position where the distance between the hole and the outer edge of the pouch in a center-of-gravity direction is shortest, the center-of-gravity direction being a direction in which a center-of-gravity line passing through the center of the pouch and the center of the hole extends. A communication part is connected with the hole at a position that is spaced apart from the proximate position in a direction orthogonal to the center-of-gravity direction. The outline of the communication part that extends from the hole to the outer edge includes a first line and a second line. The first line is located closer to the proximate position than is the second line. In the center-of-gravity direction, the distance from a first connection point to the outer edge is greater than the distance from the proximate position to the outer edge, the first connection point being a point where the first line is connected with the hole.
