The description pertains to a bag for shipping goods in the mail order business with a front side, a back side, a left side, a right side, a bottom side and a bag opening with an opening edge for the insertion and removal of the goods. This bag should be further developed in such a way that, on the one hand, it can accommodate a variety of different and differently sized goods in a manner that is safe for shipping and transport and on the other hand that it can be used as a reusable mailing bag in order to avoid unnecessary waste. To solve this problem, it is proposed to arrange back-side closure means at a back distance from the opening edge and to arrange first closure means on the front side at a first front-side distance from the opening edge and second front-side closure means at a second front-side distance from the opening edge, wherein the first front-side distance is smaller than the second front-side distance and the back-side distance is smaller than the first front-side distance, so that the bag opening becomes closable by turning over an upper region of the back side to the front side and connecting the back-side closure means to the first front-side closure means to provide a larger bag volume or to the second front closure means to provide a smaller bag volume.

A flexible thermoformed dispensing package for a flowable material includes an integrally formed dispensing tube extending from the container portion having an internal extension spaced apart from the side walls defining a recessed chamber defined by a pair of integral thermoformed walls extending from the bottom surface of the container chamber and terminating proximate the base when the package is in a vertical position to facilitate sipping of a beverage from the container portion; alternatively, a straw is placed in the dispensing tube to reach the base of the package. In another embodiment, at least one integrally formed internal dividing wall extends from the sealed end of the dispensing tube and intersects an interior wall to define separate dispensing chambers, where the sealed ends of each of the dispensing chambers can be independently opened along a weakened transverse parting line and separated into separate dispensing channels along a longitudinal parting line.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including a reusable recyclable packing pouch are described. The reusable recyclable packing pouch includes a plastic container, a paperboard jacket, and an adhesive coating. The plastic container includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion has a shaped region with a flange extending around a perimeter of the shaped region. The second portion is sized to mate with the flange such as to define a space between facing surfaces of the second portion and the shaped region of the first portion. The paperboard jacket comprising an aperture defined therethrough. The aperture is sized to permit the shaped region of the plastic container to pass through while the flange extends past edges of aperture and overlaps with a region of paperboard jacket at a periphery of the aperture. The adhesive coating located on a surface of the paperboard jacket.

An outsert for affixing to a product package includes a base layer, a top layer, and a printed document. The base layer includes a perforated region arranged to be aligned with a tear tape on an outer wrapping of the package. The top layer is arranged on the base layer and has one or more edge regions adhered to the base layer. The printed document is enclosed in an inner volume established between the base layer and top layer. A laminate layer can be disposed in the inner volume between the top layer and the printed document to increase the rigidity of the outsert.

A self-heating product pouch has a first thin flexible material that surrounds and defines a product compartment. A second thin flexible material is coupled to an outwardly-facing surface of the first thin flexible material to define a first heater compartment that is outside, but thermally coupled to, the product compartment. A first thin porous substrate inside the first heater compartment. A granular reactant is distributed throughout the first thin porous substrate. A frangible container is inside the first heater compartment. A liquid reactant is inside the frangible container. The granular reactant and the liquid reactant are adapted to react exothermically upon contact with one another.

An integrated cleansing wipe system for use with packaged items including a first-bag-body having a front-panel; a rear-panel; and an inner-volume; a second-bag-body including a proximate-panel; a tab-panel; and an interior-volume; and a cleansing wipe; wherein the package assembly is the first-bag-body and the second-bag-body in integral and functional combination; wherein the first-bag-body is defined by the front-panel and the rear-panel in a sealed relationship such that at least one food item is able to be sealingly stored in the inner-volume prior to be opened for consumption of the at least one food item stored therein. The interior-volume of the second-bag-body is defined by the proximate-panel being sealingly adjacent against the front-panel to removably contain the cleansing wipe. The tab-panel is able to be pulled to access the cleansing wipe for a user to clean hands after consumption of the at least one food item.

A fully sealed pouch contains a drink and a straw. The pouch has a front face and a rear face, and defines: a top edge where the front face and the rear face are sealed to each other, a bottom portion where the front face and the rear face are connected to each other optionally via a gusset, a first side edge extending from the top edge to the bottom portion, the front face being sealed to the rear face along the first side edge, and a second side edge also extending from the top edge to the bottom portion, the front face and the rear face either being continuous with each other or sealed to each other at the second side edge, and an extended corner portion defined between the top edge and the first side edge. The interior volume of the pouch is divided into a minor portion adjacent the first edge and extending into the extended corner portion, and a major portion communicating with the minor portion. The front face and the rear face are sealed to each other throughout the extended corner portion except where the minor portion extends into the extended corner portion. The straw is located in the minor portion with an end thereof extending into the extended corner portion. A predetermined tear line is defined in the extended corner portion along a line that extends from a position at or adjacent the first side edge, across the minor portion where it extends into the extended corner portion, and along a curved path to or adjacent to the top edge at a position spaced from the join between the top edge and the first side. The tear line constrains a user seeking access to the straw readily to tear therealong to expose the end of the straw and to allow the user thereafter to drink from the pouch via the straw.

Disclosed is a reusable flat envelope bag, such as a flat mail envelope, which comprises an envelope body defining a pouch, the envelope body having an opening at one end or one side to access the pouch, at least one wrist strap attachable to the envelope body by which wrist strap the envelope can be reused as a bag or wristlet. The reusable flat envelope bag may optionally include one or more handles.

A consumption packet includes a bag and a dispensing arrangement. The bag includes a first bag wall and a second bag wall defining a cavity between the first and second bag walls. The bag further has an enclosable area defined at the first bag wall and a pouch opening formed within the enclosable area. The dispensing arrangement includes a sealing flap extended from the second bag wall and folded on the first bag wall to enclose the enclosable area thereof so as to seal the pouch opening by the sealing flap, wherein the sealing flap is unfolded from the enclosable area to unseal the pouch opening.
