Definitions

  • This present invention generally resides in a package comprising a bag which is useable as a liner in a box or which is useable as a bag itself, which liner or bag is provided with a protecting peelable seal as well as a reclosable fastener. More particularly, it has been discovered that it is more efficient and desirable to form the peelable seal below the reclosable fastener rather than above it, particularly when the package comprises a bag or liner within a box.
  • the package of the invention provides superior security against the atmosphere and contaminants and preserves product quality, yet remains reclosable after initial opening and does so without the necessity of using excess amounts of material in forming the bag or liner so as to result in cost savings as well as convenience to the ultimate consumer.
  • Bags with zipper-like closures which are reclosable are well known.
  • Japanese Utility Model Publication 57 (1982) - 105248 discloses a bag having a peelable seal located above a reclosable fastener so as to lend air tightness to the bag at least until the peelable seal is broken. Thereafter the lower reclosable fastener is used to prevent accidental spilling of the contents from the bag and preservation of the quality, i.e. freshness, of the content.
  • the present invention resides in a plastic bag or liner comprising opposed side walls, a closed bottom and an openable top comprised of gripping flanges, a reclosable fastener on the inside surfaces of said gripping flanges adjacent the openable end of the bag or liner, a peel seal located across the openable top and adjacent the reclosable fastener on the side thereof towards the interior of the bag or liner, said reclosable fastener being positioned so as to close the end of the container above the product contained therein once the peel seal is opened.
  • the bag or liner 10 is preferably formed of a mono-layer or multi-layer thermoplastic material having inner surfaces which are heat sealable so that the sides 12 and 14 thereof can be heat sealed about their edges 18 to form a bag enclosure.
  • the material is preferably folded to form the bottom 16 of bag 10, but could be heat sealed as well.
  • materials other than thermoplastic materials in various layers of a multi-layer bag, such as a metal­lic layer for static dissipation, or moisture and vapor penetration prevention.
  • the inner surface or layer to be sealed can be an ethylene homopolymer or copolymer or blends thereof, for example, or can be formed of other heat sealable resins or coatings.
  • a multi-layer bag can also include polymeric material layers which substantially prohibit penetration by either gases or liquids or both, such as materials commonly known as polyethylene terephthalate, nylons, Saran® (vinylidene chloride copolymer) resins, ethylene vinyl alcohol resins, polyolefins, including polypropylene and various densities of polyethylene and including linear low density polyethylenes.
  • polymeric material layers which substantially prohibit penetration by either gases or liquids or both, such as materials commonly known as polyethylene terephthalate, nylons, Saran® (vinylidene chloride copolymer) resins, ethylene vinyl alcohol resins, polyolefins, including polypropylene and various densities of polyethylene and including linear low density polyethylenes.
  • Adhesive coatings can be included to form the actual heat seals and peel seal as generally described above.
  • Adhesive polymeric blends such as ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer can be used to coat the inside or form the inside layer of the bag or liners.
  • EVA ethylene vinyl acetate
  • Other well known adhesive polymeric materials can be used instead, such as Surlyn® a sodium comonomer resin made by the duPont Co. or Primacor® resins made by The Dow Chemical Company, including ethylene acrylic acid (EEA) copolymer resins.
  • a typical multi-layer bag can include, for example, an exterior layer of a high density polyethylene (HDPE) next to which is an EVA copolymer resin, then a third layer including, for example, either a Saran® resin made by the Dow Chemical Company or an ethylene vinyl alcohol resin, with minor additives, and an inside layer of an EVA resin for forming side seals 18 and the peel seal 20 shown in Figures 1 and 2.
  • the third layer would act as an effective barrier to gases for normal food applications. However, such a gas barrier would not be required in many instances.
  • a conven­tional reclosable fastener 21 such as that illustrated in British Patent No. 2,133,462 having a male fastener element 22 with ribs 24 on either side thereof and a female fastener element 26 engaged therewith as shown in Figure 2.
  • the opening end of the bag includes gripping flanges 28 which are used to separate the reclosable fasteners as well as to pull apart the peel seal 20 located at the neck down portions 30 and 32 on sides 12 and 14 respectively of bag 10.
  • an HDPE film which is coated on the inside with an EVA composition having a vinyl acetate content of about 28 percent blended, for example, with an LDPE, a Surlyn® resin, and various concentrates wherein the EVA copolymer percentage of the composition would be about 48 weight percent, the LDPE composition would be 25 weight percent, and the Surlyn® composition would be about 15 weight percent of the total composition.
  • the peel seal is made by regulating the temperature and pressures so that it is less than that needed to form the peripheral margins 18 of the bag 10, for example, where a complete, strong bonding seal must be made.
  • the pressure and duration for the surrounding seals of edges 18 could be at 115°C for a period of about 0.8 seconds where the seal pressure to form the peel seal 20 could be at 99°C for a period of about 0.3 seconds with the coating described above.
  • Figures 3 to 5 illustrate the significant advantages of placing the peel seal in the arrangement disclosed by this invention over box liners or bags having no peel seal or with a peel seal located above the reclosable fastener. Bags or liners without are closable fastener, say with only a peel seal, are not compared directly here in detail because they a basically not reclosable and have apparent dis­advantages as compared with reclosable bags or liners.
  • Figure 3 illustrates in cross-section a carton 34 in which is placed a bag 10 ⁇ containing a product 36. The carton has an upper end or top 38 over which is folded closure top flaps 40 which form a temporary enclosure for the box when it is full. The dimension Y represents the height of carton 34.
  • the dimension P represents the height of the product contained within bag 10 ⁇ .
  • the dimension H represents the distance from the top 38 of the box to the reclosable fastener 21, and the dimension L represents the lip height (length) above the reclosable fastener 21 of the bag or liner.
  • the dimensions are basically the same, except here a peel seal is located above the reclosable fastener 21 of liner 10 ⁇ , S represents the length of a peel seal 20 above the reclosable fastener, and L represents the length of the bag lips or gripping flanges above the peel seal.
  • Figure 5 is similar to the other figures, only here the dimension S of liner 10 represents the length of peel seal 20 which is located below the reclosable fastener 21, and L represents the distance of the lip above the reclosable fastener 21.
  • the height will be 1 ⁇ 2 of the box depth (Z) + the distance to the top of the product (P) + the diagonal distance to the peel seal + peel seal (S) + lip length (L).
  • the reclosable fastener will be higher out of the box where a peel seal is located below the reclosable fastener than where the peel seal is located above the reclosable fastener for any given amount of material, so that if one were to use the same amount of material it would be much easier to gain access to the contents where the peel seal is located below the reclosable fastener.
