Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sealed package containing a pourable food product.
  • the present invention also relates to a sheet packaging material for producing a sealed package containing a pourable food product.
  • pourable food products such as fruit juice, UHT (ultra-high-temperature treated) milk, wine, tomato sauce, etc.
  • UHT ultra-high-temperature treated milk
  • wine tomato sauce
  • etc. are sold in packages made of sterilized packaging material.
  • a typical example is the parallelepiped-shaped package for liquid or pourable food products known as Tetra Brik Aseptic (registered trademark), which is made by folding, sealing and cutting a web of laminated packaging material.
  • the packaging material has a multilayer structure comprising a base layer, e.g. of paper, covered on both sides with layers of heat-seal plastic material, e.g. polyethylene.
  • the packaging material also comprises a layer of oxygen-barrier material, e.g. an aluminium foil, which is superimposed on a layer of heat-seal plastic material, and is in turn covered with another layer of heat-seal plastic material forming the inner face of the package eventually contacting the food product.
  • Packages of this sort are normally produced on fully automatic packaging machines, on which a continuous tube is formed from the web-fed packaging material; the web of packaging material is sterilized on the packaging machine, e.g. by applying a chemical sterilizing agent, such as a hydrogen peroxide solution, which, once sterilization is completed, is removed from the surfaces of the packaging material, e.g. evaporated by heating; the web so sterilized is then maintained in a closed, sterile environment, and is folded and sealed longitudinally to form a tube, which is fed vertically.
  • a chemical sterilizing agent such as a hydrogen peroxide solution
  • the tube is filled with the sterilized or sterile-processed food product, and is sealed and subsequently cut along equally spaced cross sections; pillow packs are so obtained, which are then folded mechanically to form respective finished packages at a final folder.
  • crease lines i.e. weakening lines
  • the crease lines define folding lines along which the pillow packs are folded to take the desired final configuration.
  • the packaging material may be cut into blanks, which are formed into packages on forming spindles, and the resulting packages are then filled with the food product and sealed.
  • a type of package is the so-called "gable-top” package known by the trade name Tetra Rex (registered trademark).
  • the removable portion is formed on the packaging material prior to folding and sealing the packaging material to form the finished package.
  • the removable portion normally comprises a so-called “prelaminated” hole, i.e. a circular hole formed through the base layer only of the packaging material and covered, when the material is laminated, with the layers of heat-seal plastic material and barrier material, which adhere to one another at the hole.
  • prelaminated hole i.e. a circular hole formed through the base layer only of the packaging material and covered, when the material is laminated, with the layers of heat-seal plastic material and barrier material, which adhere to one another at the hole.
  • Each package of the above type is obtained from a basic unit of packaging material having given crease lines.
  • the above-mentioned basic unit represents the exact length of the packaging material used to produce one single package.
  • the original web includes a plurality of basic units joined to each other; in the case of packages made on forming spindles, the basic unit is defined by the blank cut from the web prior to starting the forming and sealing operations.
  • the basic unit typically has a rectangular or square configuration with two boundary edges parallel to a longitudinal direction and two other boundary edges parallel to a transversal direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction.
  • the longitudinal direction becomes the direction along which the total height of the package itself is defined; the longitudinal direction also represents the main direction of extension of the web from which the basic unit is obtained.
  • the basic unit usually includes at least two transversal crease lines extending transversally to the longitudinal direction and dividing the basic unit itself into:
  • the transversal crease lines are also configured to define a bottom peripheral outline and a top peripheral outline of the finished package having endless configurations and respectively dividing the bottom portion and the top portion from the main portion.
  • the bottom portion of the finished package normally includes a flat and horizontal bottom panel defining the resting surface of the package itself.
  • the top portion of the finished package may include a flat and horizontal top panel, parallel to the bottom panel; alternatively, slanted top panels are very conveniently used in combination with opening devices because they are wider than corresponding flat top panels of parallelepiped or prismatic packages and therefore allow the application of larger opening devices, e.g. provided with screw caps or the like.
  • EP2650222 addresses the problem of providing a packaging container with a novel triangular cross section and a production method for said container.
  • the packaging container obtained by: tube-form molding by vertical sealing of a web-shaped packaging material; filling inside the tube-shaped packaging material; horizontal sealing in the transverse direction of the tube-shaped packaging material; forming of a pillow-shaped container body; cutting off of individual pillow-shaped container bodies; and forming into a final shape by folding along creases to form a top wall, a side wall, and a bottom wall and attaching formed fins and flaps to said walls.
  • the top wall and bottom wall have a triangular and a rectangular shape, respectively; the cross-section in the transverse direction of a packaging container main body, formed by four ridgelines that connect the triangulation points of the top wall and the four corner points of the bottom wall, is trapezoidal, and one corner point of the horizontal top wall protrudes towards the front side wall.
  • WO2017/001162 discloses a spout element for packaging, in particular composite packaging for liquid foodstuffs, said packaging having a polyhedral gable-shaped region and folded packaging casing flaps and the spout element having a main body, a polyhedral flange which is provided for connecting to a packaging casing and the connecting surfaces of which converge at surface meeting points; composite packaging for liquid foodstuffs, having a polyhedral gable-shaped region and folded packaging casing flaps, in which packaging the packaging casing is connected to the spout in a corresponding manner; and composite packaging for liquid foodstuffs having such a spout element.
