  • the invention relates to a resealable flexible tubular bag packaging according to the preamble of patent claim 1 and to a method for opening and in particular reclosing such a tubular bag packaging according to the preamble of patent claim 13.
  • Tubular bag packaging has been known for some time and is used, inter alia, for packaging liquid, pasty and / or pulverulent filling goods.
  • These previously known tubular bag packages are usually made of a laminate which is connected together along its longitudinal and transverse edges so that a bag is formed with a receiving space for the contents.
  • To open such tubular bag packaging is either an opening aid, usually in the form of a notch or an incision, and optionally provided a weakening line along which the tubular bag packaging can be torn.
  • An alternative opening method is to use a pair of scissors or other cutting instrument.
  • the invention has for its object to overcome the disadvantages described above and to provide a tubular bag packaging available, which is easy to open without the aid of tools as well as easy to close again. Furthermore, the invention is also based on the object of offering a method for opening and in particular reclosing such a tubular bag packaging.
  • the object is achieved by a resealable flexible tubular bag packaging with a front and a rear wall, which are interconnected along their longitudinal and their transverse edges and define a receiving space for a liquid, pasty and / or powdery product, wherein the receiving space a channel-shaped outlet has, which is closed in the closed state of the packaging by an adhesive or sealing connection of a front wall portion with a rear wall portion and the package after opening by means of a positive connection is resealable.
  • reclosable flexible tubular bag packaging according to the invention does not necessarily have to be rectangular in shape, but that the terms “longitudinal edges” and “transverse borders” also apply mutatis mutandis to trapezoidal, round, oval and other square shaped and irregularly shaped tubular bag packaging forms, the closed on all sides.
  • the tubular bag packaging according to the invention is made of a flexible material that can be bent, so that the tubular bag can be bent so that the channel-shaped outlet and / or the receiving space along a crease line undergoes a constriction through which the filler substantially can not pass through under normal use.
  • This kinked state of the tubular bag packaging can be fixed according to the invention.
  • Such a fixation is realized according to the invention by means of a positive connection, wherein the kinked part of the tubular bag packaging is attached to the non-kinked part of the tubular bag packaging.
  • a positive connection is particularly suitable, such a fixation of the bent part the tubular bag packaging to realize the non-kinked part of the tubular bag packaging, since in this way on aids, such as adhesive, an adhesive tape or staples, can be dispensed with.
