In order to use in consumer lines in packaging, packaging body blank is made up of airtight and material impervious to water thin slice substantially usually, and the lap of packaging body blank is bonded to each other bag is sealed completely.But for some food and confectionery, gas tight seal packaging body is less desirable.Suitable packaging body blank can be made of a variety of materials, and comprises polymeric material, metallic paper and paper.Usually, packaging body blank is formed by the superposed material thin slice with two-layer or more layer material.

In order to assist consumers obtains packaging product, convention way be in packaging body blank or on provide and tear guide portion, this is torn guide portion and can be grasped by customer and pull to tear bag along preset lines.The guide portion of tearing of form known is a tear tape, and this tear tape attaches to the inside face of packaging body blank and is made up of the material being better than packaging body blank.The end of tear tape is exposed in finished product bag, makes this end can be grasped by user and be pulled to tear packaging body blank along the line of tear tape.Usually, tear guide portion will be oriented at one end place or close to one end place around bag.Illustrate that traditional tear tape constructs at 20 places in FIG, wherein the dotted line of tear tape 20 indicates tear tape in the position of packaging body inside.

Use tear tape to be disadvantageous, this is owing to using tear tape to need manufacture and store other parts (that is, tear tape), and tear tape is applied to the other processing step of packaging body blank.Which increase total manufacturing cost.In addition, due to the character of used material, and airtight and fluid-tight packaging body blank is usually quite tough and tensile and may be difficult to use the measurable mode of tear tape to be torn.

The other shortcoming of Traditional Packing structure is: bag usually can not be made at least to a certain extent preservation effectively by again closed and protect remaining content.This is following particular problem: wherein, and user usually will once only remove one or several product and hope be preserved safely remaining product for later consumption.

Need alternative packaging arrangement to overcome or at least alleviate the shortcoming of one or more structure in prior art structure.

Also need the shortcoming improving one's methods to overcome or at least alleviate one or more method in known method opening packaging arrangement.
