Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to the field of packaging and more particularly to a packaging with improved reclosable opening which is suitable for household usage, especially for use as packaging for foodstuff in microwave oven.
  • Frozen or shelf stable prepared foods that are intended to be reheated using microwave oven are becoming increasingly popular. Excess food or food being prepared in advance can be packaged and stored. Consumers only need to heat up those packaged food in the microwave oven prior to consuming.
  • the moisture content of the food is rapidly heated and transformed into steam.
  • the pressure within the packaging increases. Consumers usually puncture holes or cut a corner or pierce holes on the packaging to allow the steam to vent from the packaging during heating.
  • a packaging having a weakened sealing or a valve which allow the steam to vent during the process of heating would provide an improved method for heating food in microwave oven.
  • packaging with weakened sealing or valve which allow the steam to escape from the packaging are disclosed.
  • these packaging are only suitable for the food manufacturer as it is not practical for a household user to have a thermal sealing machine or a heat sealer to seal it after putting the foodstuff into the packaging.
  • JP-A 11178713 discloses a bag to be heated with microwave oven.
  • the bag has three sealing sides and an opening side that a zip-fastener is disposed on both side surface of the bag the opening side, while a flow passage is created at one if the three sealed sides for discharging gas.
  • US 2004/0069157 assigned to Lin discloses a microwaveable zipper bag with a plurality of pseudo-closed gaps for air permeation and a pair of male-female zipper profile on the film. When heating, the bag has the gaps open gradually to regulate the internal pressure and the gap is restored once the heating stopped.
  • the bag includes a body with a reclosable closure at the bag opening, where the closure comprises extruded male and female interlocking profiles extending along opposing sides of the opening and constructed to releasably interlock, an extruded valve flange extending from one side of the closure to engage an opposing surface of the closure when the profile are interlocked and the flange as well as the opposing surface is constructed to separate in response to pressure within the bag while interlocked.
  • WO 2004/067390 discloses a container to be heated by microwave.
  • the container has a seal and a venting configuration which includes a steam guide defining a central vent and a pair of steam horns associated with and positioned on either side of the steam guide. Together the steam guide and steam horns weaken a portion of the seal at a predetermined position.
  • the packaging is modified to cater for the need of household users, who do not have access to a thermal sealing device, by having a reclosable opening, a diverting means and weakened sealing on the packaging.
  • a reclosable opening functions as an opening for inserting the object, especially foodstuff into the packaging.
  • the packaging can be closed up by reclosable opening to store, without using heat sealing or other adhesive.
  • a diverting means is predisposed in such a manner and having a dimension sufficient to cover the reclosable opening.
  • the diverting means is joined with main packaging sheets at the upper portion to direct airflow away from the reclosable opening. When the increased internal air pressure builds up to a critical point, the weakened sealing ruptures to allow air to vent through.
  • the primary object of the invention is to provide a packaging with a reclosable opening, a diverting means and a weakened sealing which is suitable for the convenience of user who do not have a thermal sealing device, especially household user for use in microwave oven for reheating purpose.
  • the term "packaging" used throughout the specification includes all kind of pouches within the scope of the claims. It is to be understood that the use of the term is not limiting the scope of the claims to certain designs and/or embodiments of the packaging according to the invention.
  • the current invention relates to a packaging with improved reclosable opening includes a diverting means which is predisposed in such a manner and having a dimension sufficient to cover the reclosable opening, preferably a zipper, to direct airflow away from the zipper when there is an increase in internal air pressure and a weakened sealing.
  • a diverting means which is predisposed in such a manner and having a dimension sufficient to cover the reclosable opening, preferably a zipper, to direct airflow away from the zipper when there is an increase in internal air pressure and a weakened sealing.
  • the current invention can be used for heating food in a microwave oven.
  • the reclosable opening enable consumers to insert objects, especially foodstuff into the packaging.
  • the packaging can be closed up by using the reclosable opening without the need of heat sealer or other thermal sealing machine.
  • the weakened sealing on the other hand provides a method without the need of puncturing the packaging prior to heating in microwave oven.
  • a packaging includes an upper front packaging sheet, a lower front packaging sheet and a back packaging sheet which are sealed together to form an edge-to-edge sealing.
  • edge-to-edge sealing is used in this specification to refer to the all-round sealing along the marginal edge of a packaging sheet as it is folded to enclose an object.
  • One or more portion of the sealable edge may be made frangible or more specifically a weakened sealing, to vent increased internal pressure.
  • the weakened sealing can be created by:
  • the weakened sealing is created by disposing a film made of second material between front and back main packaging sheets.
  • the film includes all physical shapes, such as narrow tips, triangular or tapering shapes.
  • the material of the packaging sheet and film is selected from any one or in combination of polyethylene and its derivatives, polyester and its derivatives, polypropylene and its derivatives, nylon and its derivatives or any suitable polymer.
  • the upper front main packaging sheet, lower front main packaging sheet and back main packaging sheet are made of a first material, while the film, which creates a weakened sealing, is made of a second material.
  • Any one of main packaging sheet can be made of a third material, provided the sealing among the main packaging sheets are stronger than the weakened sealing.
  • the packaging includes any one of a flexible three-side sealed pouch, standing pouch and flexible six-side sealed pouch.
  • FIG. 1 shows the top view of a packaging of the current invention.
  • flexible three-side-sealed pouch (100) is one form of the preferred embodiment.
  • the flexible three-side-sealed pouch consists of a packaging body comprising an upper front main packaging sheet (102), a lower front main packaging sheet (201) and a back main packaging sheet (not shown) which are sealed together to form an edge-to edge sealing, reclosable opening (101) preferably zipper, a diverting means (103) and weakened sealing (104).
  • the zipper (101) is predisposed in such a manner to be covered by the diverting means (103).

  • the film is disposed between two layers of the main packaging sheet, preferably on the top part of edge-to-edge sealing.
  • the sealing between the second material with any one of main packaging sheet is weaker than the sealing among the main packaging sheets.
  • the edge-to-edge sealing will be further discussed in Figure 8 .
  • the weakened sealing (104) can also be a seal with a width smaller than the sealing width of the rest of the edge-to-edge sealing as shown in Figure 2.
  • Figure 2 shows the top sealing area, the weakened sealing (104) with sealing width smaller than other sealing area, wherein the sealing bar used to create top sealing is having a width smaller than the sealing bar for other sealing areas.
  • the smaller sealing width is weaker compared to a sealing, which is sealed by the same means but with wider sealing.
  • Figure 2.1 illustrates the weakened sealing (104) which is a sealing with area smaller than the sealing area of the rest of edge-to-edge sealing. This designated sealing area can be created by indent of the sealing bar.
  • FIG. 3 Another embodiment of weakened sealing (104) is shown in Figure 3 .
