Definitions

  • the invention relates to a packaging bag made of a flexible film material, with a substantially rectangular bag front and bag back and an integrated opening and reclosing system.
  • the invention also relates to a method for producing the packaging bag.
  • Known packaging bags with integrated opening and reclosing system are intricately designed constructions of multilayered built-up films.
  • the production of such packaging bags is relatively expensive.
  • Another disadvantage of a flexible film material produced pouches is that in general are less dimensionally stable and therefore a removal of contents not always easy is.
  • the invention is based on the object, a packaging bag of the above to create said type, which has a certain dimensional stability, so that chunky contents such as coated dragées without difficulty can be.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a easy opening and reclosing system.
  • the packaging bag be produced in a simple manner.
  • the inventive packaging bag is dimensionally stable, is characterized through an appealing design, has a simple reclosing system on and can be easily manufactured as a tubular bag.
  • the bag is one of a longitudinal seam and two transverse to this transverse seams formed Tube bag is and the reclosable flap of one over one of Transverse seams also extend to a third transverse seam tubular bag portion is formed.
  • the reclosable tab is with the bag front outside the opening portion releasably connected via a pressure-sensitive adhesive, so that a multiple opening and reclosing of the packaging bag is possible.
  • the line-shaped weakening zone delimiting the opening section a film thickness locally reducing cut or perforation line.
  • a suitably designed stiffening element is of a substantially the bag inside width corresponding to the bag back in as bottom part adjacent and bent at both ends against the bag front side
  • Material strip of a rigid material preferably made of Cardboard, formed.
  • the forms Material strip a loop with an opening section in size and Form approximately corresponding section.
  • a higher variant of a stiffening element is of a substantially the bag inner width corresponding container with one of the bag back inside adjacent container bottom and from this against the bag front protruding container walls made of a rigid material, preferably made of cardboard.
  • the object is achieved according to the invention, that of a band-shaped film over a longitudinal sealing seam a hose and from the hose through a transverse to longitudinal sealing seam arranged first Transverse seam and a transverse to the longitudinal sealing seam and substantially parallel and arranged at a distance from the first transverse sealing seam second transverse seam the packaging bag is formed that before the completion of the packaging bag a stabilizing the bag shape stiffening in the Hose is inserted, and that at a distance to the first or the second Cross seal a third transverse seam to form a reclosable loop serving tubular bag part is arranged.
  • the stiffening element e.g. a substantially the bag inner width corresponding
  • the bag back in as a bottom part abutting and on both ends against the bag front side bent over material strip made of a stiff material, preferably of cardboard, inserted into the tube become.
  • the strip of material forms a loop with a Opening portion or the opening in size and shape corresponding cutout.
  • the linear weakening zone 24 is located, for example, in FIG Shape of not the entire thickness of the film material penetrating Cut or in the form of arranged along a line, the film material in the thickness not completely penetrating perforations before.
  • the bag part serving as a reclosing tab 20 folded about the second transverse seam 16 and a permanent adhesive 26th Permanently glued to the opening section.
  • the reclosure tab 20th pulled away from the bag surface and around the second transverse seam 16 folded outwards. Since the reclosure tab 20 with the opening portion 22 is permanently bonded to the front of the bag 34 remains the opening portion 22 on the inside of the reclosure tab 20th adhere and it is formed on the bag front 34 an opening 28.
  • adhesive tape 32 made of a pressure-sensitive adhesive.
  • a stiffening element 30 shown in FIG. 6 is in the form of one a loop shaped and bonded strip of material 38 having a Opening portion 22 and the opening 28 in the bag front 34 in shape and size corresponding cutout 46.
  • the loop-shaped strip of material 38 inserted into the packaging bag 10 as a stiffening element according to FIG. 7 rests with a bottom part 40 on the inside of the bag back 36.
  • the two inwardly curved ends 42, 44 of the bottom part 40 of the bag inside are in the region of the first and second transverse seam 14, 16 at.
  • the position of the cutout 46 on the strip of material is selected such that the opening section 22 or opening and cutout 46 lie approximately congruently one above the other.
  • Another stiffening element shown in Fig. 8 as a container 52 in the form of an open-topped box with a container bottom 54 and projecting from this container walls 56.
  • the container 52 is partially closed by a cover member 58 and has an opening 60 which, corresponding to Section 46 of the stiffening element of Fig. 6 is positioned congruent to an opening in the bag.
  • the cover part 58 may also be missing.
