Description

DESCRIPTION

Stopped packaging

The present invention relates to a standing packaging for food products.

Such standing gaskets are well known in the prior art. To secure the sleeve or bag to the outer package, current packages use a stapler or other means of mechanical attachment or ultrasonic sealing, heat sealing, or sewing. These techniques require expensive apparatus and manufacturing processes and/or use additional fastening means such as a stapler, which could end up on the food stored inside the sleeve or bag. State-of-the-art stationary packages are known in documents WO 2018/024651 A1 and US 3339 721 A.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide stand-up packaging for food products as initially described in a simple and cost-effective manner.

The object will be achieved through independent claim. The dependent claims define particular embodiments of the present invention.

According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a stand-up packaging for food products according to claim 1.

Therefore, the glue that spreads through the through hole of the additional element can act as a kind of plug or bolt that is attached or connected in a fixed manner (i.e., directly glued) to the opposite elements (i.e. the one cover element and the at least one first bag) to thus transport the first bag(s) through the outer packaging. If more than one first bag is present, all of these bags may be connected/glued to the outer packaging (i.e., the one cover element) through at least one or a plurality of through holes of at least one or a plurality of elements. additional.

Furthermore, by directly gluing the second bag not through a through hole it is possible to connect at least one second additional bag to at least one of the two cover elements or the mentioned additional element in an easy and flexible manner. Additionally, it is possible to position the second additional bag in the standing packaging independently and differently from the first bag. In this way, it is possible to use the space defined by the outer packaging more efficiently and arrange the respective bags in a way that allows creating an attractive presentation of the food products inside the bags.

According to the present invention, the term "standing packaging" covers any type of packaging that, by itself and, in particular, by its design, is capable of standing when placed on preferably flat ground. In accordance with the present invention, the term "food products" covers any type of consumable product, particularly any type of consumable product that is generally transported and sold in such stand-up packaging. Food products may have any consistency and, for example, may be liquid, dispersible, pasty, gelatinous, powder, solid, and the like.

According to the present invention, the term "bag" can be any type of packaging, preferably deformable or flexible, to transport a food product; That is, it is made of a food-safe material. In particular, it may be made of a sealable material to thereby provide a closed and preferably hermetically sealed (e.g., airtight) pocket for receiving the food product.

According to the present invention, the term "outer packaging" covers all types of packaging for transporting and/or enclosing bags as described above in the present description. The outer packaging is preferably made of cardboard or plastic. It is preferably printed to carry information regarding the contents (e.g., food product; meal) of the standing package, such as images, texts (cooking recipe; ingredients; nutritional information; etc.), barcodes and similar.

According to the present invention, the expression "is sandwiched between [...]" should usually be understood as "is inserted or is usually enclosed between two things."

In accordance with the present invention, any type of “glue” can be used, allowing a direct gluing connection between the respective elements.

For example, the gluing connection between the cover element and the first bag, which are connected through (i.e., by means of) the through hole, can be established with the same type of "glue", or with a different one, which It is used for the direct glue connection between the second bag and the at least one of the cover elements or the additional element.

According to the present invention, "sticks [...] through the through hole" should be understood as "sticks [...] through the through hole", that is, the glue spreads through the through hole to, in this way, directly connect the elements that are located opposite with respect to the through hole.

Therefore, “sticks directly not through a through hole” should be understood in such a way that the glue does not spread through any type of hole - that is, there is no element present between the bag and the element to which it is attached. is glued in the glue bonding region - to directly thereby connect the two respective elements as the glue adheres to the surfaces of the two elements adjacent to each other.

According to the present invention, “they stick together” should be understood as “they stick directly to each other”, that is, the glued elements are glued directly and therefore connected to each other by means of a glue independently. of the glue that extends between these elements through (that is, through) the through hole.

Regarding the present invention, it is therefore possible to easily provide fixing means (by the simple use of glue) to the outer packaging - and in particular to one of its cover elements - and at the same time connect the outer packaging with bag ( s) to obtain in this way a ready standing packaging that transports the bag(s) and without using additional fixing means; that is, in an easy and profitable way.

This occurs because the glue can be easily provided to surfaces that need to be glued. For example, for the first bag, glue can be easily provided from an outer side of the standing package and easily reaches the elements intended to be glued together since the glue is applied in a region of the through holes; As the glue spreads through the respective through holes, it can function as a type of plug or bolt that carries and secures the additional elements and allows the at least one bag to be securely attached to the outer packaging. Similarly for the second bag which is glued directly not through a through hole the glue can be applied directly between the two respective elements. Furthermore, it is possible to provide a stand-up packaging with a plurality of bags for transporting food products. It is therefore possible to provide a stand-up package that, for example, comprises various ingredients for a meal.

The second bag may be adhered directly to a portion or surface of the other cover element. The portion or surface preferably faces the first bag.

According to the invention, the second bag is sandwiched at least partially between the first bag and the outer packaging or preferably the other cover element or the additional element or the second bag is sandwiched at least partially between, on the one hand, one of the cover elements or the additional element, to which it is directly glued and, on the other hand, the other of one of the corresponding cover elements or additional element, to which it is not directly glued.

Therefore, it is possible to arrange the second bag in a series of different positions and arrangements with respect to other elements of the standing packaging of the present invention. Consequently, it is possible to design the packaging standing more freely. Furthermore, the first bag and the second bag can be arranged in different elements of the packaging so that they are easily accessible when opening the packaging, e.g. e.g. by (partially) separating the packaging elements.

The additional element may be a third covering element of the outer packaging. Alternatively or additionally, the additional element may comprise at least one or a plurality of first additional bags for carrying a food product. The first additional bags are generally similar to the at least one first bag. The different first bags - that is, the at least one first bag, as well as the additional first bags - may carry different ingredients of a particular recipe/meal. Both the third cover element and the first additional bag(s) comprise the through hole(s) as described above in the present description. Therefore, they are at least partially sandwiched between the at least one first bag and the one cover element in such a way that the one cover element is glued to the at least one first bag through the hole(s). ) intern(s) of these additional elements.

Similarly, as described above for the first additional bags, the at least one second bag for carrying a food product may be generally similar to the at least one first bag. The different bags - that is, the at least one first bag and the at least one second bag - can carry different ingredients of a particular recipe/meal. Different bags may vary in size. For example, the first bag may have larger dimensions than the second bag, thus the first bag constitutes a primary bag and the second bag is a smaller, secondary bag.

In a preferred embodiment, at least one of the respective bags, that is, at least one of the at least one first bag or the at least one second bag, comprises a sealing region. Preferably, all respective bags comprise a sealing region. This sealing region is provided to close at least a portion of the respective bag to securely transport the food product within the bag. The sealing region may circumferentially or partially circumferentially surround the respective bag, i.e. at least one of the first and second bags, to form a pocket for carrying the preferably sealed food product; preferably, in a (hermetically) sealed manner.

It is therefore possible to provide a stand-up packaging that can be used to store the food product in a safe and hygienic manner for an extended period of time.

In a preferred embodiment, the stand-up packaging may comprise more than one second bag. The second bags can preferably be glued to the same element, that is, to at least one of the cover elements or the additional element, or more preferably to the same side or surface of these. Alternatively or additionally, the second bags may be at least partially overlapped in at least one viewing direction, preferably in a front view of the upright packaging, preferably with the upright packaging in its designated operating position - i.e., upright (upright) or upright. .

Additionally or alternatively, the second bags may overlap so that the bottom edges of the adjoining second bags are positioned at different heights.

Preferably, the heights of the bottom edges of the second bags can be determined relative to an edge of the element, to which the second bags are attached, preferably when the stationary packaging is in its designated operating position. Furthermore, the second bags can be superimposed at different heights such that the second bag, whose bottom edge is higher or lower with respect to its neighboring second bag, is sandwiched at least partially between the one of the cover elements or the additional element, to which it is directly attached, and at least the second adjacent bag.

Therefore, it is possible to arrange the second bags in the standing packaging in a staggered manner. In this way, it is possible to use the space defined by the standing packaging in an efficient way. Furthermore, it can be achieved that each of the second bags is connected directly to the element, to which the second bags are attached, as well as that none of the second bags is completely covered by a second adjacent bag, thus facilitating the visibility of each one of the second bags. Furthermore, the packaging may therefore be provided in a flat manner.

Preferably, the element, to which the second bag is directly glued, comprises a gluing portion for directly gluing the second bag to the respective element. According to the present invention, “the element, to which the second bag is directly attached”, should be understood as at least one of the two cover elements or the additional element.

In a preferred embodiment where the stand-up package comprises more than one second bag, a gluing portion may be provided for each of the second bags. It may also be preferred that the gluing portion of a second particular bag is offset to a second adjoining bag, wherein the second adjoining bag is on the same side of the second particular bag as the gluing portion of the second particular bag.

Therefore, it is possible to arrange the second bags on the element, to which the second bags are attached, in a staggered manner. In particular, by providing the second bag abutting the same side of a particular bag as the gluing portion thereof, space is efficiently used and visibility of the individual bags is ensured. Furthermore, it can be ensured that each of the second bags is connected directly to the element to which it is attached.

In a preferred embodiment, at least one of the first and/or second bags comprises an empty space. Preferably, at least the second bag(s) comprises the empty space. More preferably, the pocket of at least one of the first and/or second bags comprises the empty space.

According to the present invention, the term "empty space" should be understood as a (void) space above or to the side of the food product inside the bag, that is, in a closed volume of the bag.

Therefore, it is possible to improve the transport and storage capabilities of standing packaging as the risk of spillage or accidental breakage of one of the bags can be reduced by providing empty space. Additionally, the empty space allows for easier filling of the bags during production. Additionally, providing empty space allows the thickness of the individual bag to be reduced by allowing the food contents to move accordingly within the bag.

In a preferred embodiment of stand-up packaging comprising more than one second bag, the empty space of a particular second bag at least partially overlaps the pocket of an adjacent second bag.

Preferably, the empty space of a second particular bag overlaps at least partially with the pocket of a second adjoining bag such that the second adjoining bag is sandwiched between the empty space of the second particular bag and the element, to which it is attached. directly.

Therefore, it is possible to arrange the bags in a more condensed manner since the empty space of the bags overlaps with an adjacent bag. Accordingly, it is possible to arrange multiple bags side by side in a staggered manner without having to provide a through hole for gluing the bags to the respective element, to which the second bags are directly glued. Additionally, the empty space of a particular second bag can be hidden by being covered by its neighboring second bag. Therefore, the appearance of standing packaging can be improved.

The outer packaging and preferably at least one of the cover elements may comprise a cut-out region to expose at least one, and preferably all, of the first and/or second bags. Alternatively or additionally, the additional element may comprise the clipped region.

In other words, this cropped region can function as an inspection window.

In a preferred embodiment, the cutout region is provided such that all contained bags are visible through said cutout region. Preferably, for a standing package comprising more than a second bag, the cutout region is provided in a region (of the outer package) where the (second) bags overlap each other. Furthermore, the respective bags may have different lengths or may be provided in an offset manner, as the case may be.

Therefore, by providing a cutout region it can be achieved that the contents of the standing package can be easily displayed.

The glue used for standing packaging can be provided as glue dots or a line of glue or an area provided with glue. Preferably, the glue at least partially covers the through holes. According to the present invention, "at least partially covering" means that the glue must extend at least partially through the corresponding through holes to allow the cover element to stick to the at least one first bag through said holes. interns. However, the glue may also cover regions surrounding or between the through holes to allow abutting elements to be glued directly together to thereby provide a firm connection of these elements of the outer packaging and/or the outer packaging and the corresponding first (additional) bags.

Additionally or alternatively, the glue used for the second bag(s) may be different than the glue used for the first bag. For example, the glue used for the second bag(s) may be a double-sided adhesive tape while a liquid glue is used for the first bag.

At least one of the through holes and, preferably, all of the through holes comprise at least two or more distant through holes. In fact, the number of distant through holes per additional element (i.e., per additional bag or third cover element) is not limited by the present invention. However, at least two distant through holes are preferred to allow secure fixation of the bag at least two points, thereby reducing the twisting effect acting on the glued fixation regions. In a preferred embodiment, the distal through holes of at least two and, preferably, all of the through holes are aligned with each other, respectively. This allows easy connection of the first bags to the outer packaging and, in particular, a connection of the one cover element to the at least one first bag through the through holes of the additional element(s). which preferably align with each other.

The invention is not limited to a shape of the through hole(s).

However, the through hole and preferably each of the distal through holes may have a rounded or polygonal shape, such as a circular, oval or square shape. These types of shape can be easily manufactured.

At least one of the cover elements, preferably the one cover element, may have a bonding region and a flap region that is divided by a weakened tear-open region. The tear-open region is preferably configured (in any desired manner) to allow separation of the glue region and the flap region such that the flap region is released to allow access to the bags, p . e.g., when folding to open the fin region. The tear-open weakened region may therefore be provided as a region of weakened (e.g., thinned) material in the respective cover element. The weakened tear-open region may also be configured to be removable to thereby release the flap region for access to the respective bags, i.e., the first or second bags, in the outer package. Therefore, a simple opening means may be provided integrally with the package standing.

According to the invention, the outer packaging comprises a flat base element to support, optionally, even transporting the packaging standing up, for example, if it is placed on the ground. The base element may be formed integrally with at least one of the cover elements and may further be preferred with cover bottom regions (e.g., bottom edge portions or edges) of the bags. Therefore, the standing packaging provides a stable support region for carrying the standing packaging, preferably covering bottom regions of (all) bags, i.e., the first and second bags, to protect it.

The cover elements may be provided integrally with each other to form an outer package having any desired design. Preferred outer packaging designs may be a U shape, a loop shape, or a box shape.

A U-shaped outer gasket can be obtained if the first and second cover members are connected by a bending portion, which extends over a side region (e.g., the top edge or edge portions) of the bags.

A loop-shaped outer gasket can be obtained if the first and second cover elements are connected by a bending portion, preferably in an upper region of the outer gasket, as described for the U-shaped design, and the second and Third cover elements are connected to each other by an additional flex portion, preferably in a bottom region of the outer packaging that extends over another side region (e.g., the bottom edge or edge portions) of the bags . Preferably, the first and third cover elements overlap each other, so that the third cover element is at least partially sandwiched between the first (adjacent) bag (e.g., the at least one first bag or one of the first additional bags) and the first cover element. This interleaved region of the third cover element can function as a gluing region having the through hole(s). The bottom flex region connecting the second and third cover elements may be provided by or may comprise the base element of the outer packaging.

A box-shaped outer packaging similar to the loop-shaped outer packaging can be obtained, but further comprising side cover elements, which may extend from one of the cover elements (e.g., the second or third cover elements) and are bent to extend towards the opposite cover element (e.g., the other of the second or third cover elements) to which the side cover elements are preferably glued.

However, the invention is not limited to a particular shape, but the outer packaging can have any possible shape as long as it preferably allows one of its outer cover elements to be glued to the at least one first bag through through holes that penetrate at least one of the additional elements (e.g., first additional bag(s) or third cover element) that are sandwiched between said cover element and said first bag.

The first and second bags can be made of any food safe material suitable for transporting food products. They can be made of plastic. Preferably, they are sealed at least partially and more preferably circumferentially by the aforementioned sealing region to thereby seal (hermetically) the transported food products. In a preferred embodiment, the bags are made of a deformable or flexible material. Additionally, they can be made of a transparent material so that a user can easily inspect the contents. The outer packaging can be made from any material used for outer packaging for food products. In a more preferred embodiment, the outer packaging is made of cardboard or plastic.

Furthermore, advantages of the present invention will become apparent to a person skilled in the art upon reading the following detailed description of embodiments of the present invention together with the figures of the accompanying drawings. The invention is defined by the attached claims.

In case the numbers have been omitted in a particular figure, it cannot be concluded that the respective features are not present in the particular figure. Rather, numbers have been omitted for clarity of the figure unless otherwise indicated.

Figures 1 to 5 show different manufacturing stages of a form of a standing packaging according to the present invention,

Figure 6 shows a perspective view of the back of the stopped packaging modality according to the present invention manufactured according to the steps of Figures 1 to 5.

The figures show an embodiment of a standing packaging 1 for food products according to the present invention. Food products can be any consumable product in any given state, such as a liquid, dispersible, pasty, gelatinous, powder or solid state.

The standing package 1 comprises at least one or more first bags 21 for transporting a food product. The standing package 1 further comprises at least one or more second bags 22 for transporting a food product.

These respective bags 21, 22 can, for example, be made of a food safe material, preferably plastic. They may have any desired flexibility and tear resistance commonly provided for such bags 21, 22. The respective bags 21, 22 are preferably manufactured from a transparent material so that the user can inspect their contents.

At least one of the respective bags 21, 22 may have a sealing region 24. The sealing region 24 may circumferentially or partially circumferentially surround the respective bag 21, 22 to form a pocket 20 for carrying the preferably sealed food product.

This is shown in Figures 1 to 6 illustratively. In them, the pocket 20 is formed between two sealing regions 24 for each of the first bag 21 and the second bag 22. However, it is also possible to provide sealing regions 24 of the respective bags 21,22 in a different manner. .

The standing package 1 further comprises an outer package 3. The outer package 3 has two cover elements 31, 32 between which the first bag 21 is at least partially sandwiched. In Figures 1 to 6, the outer package 3 is shown illustratively. with a first cover element 31 and a second cover element 32. The outer packaging 3 can be made of any material commonly used for outer packaging, such as cardboard or plastic. The outer packaging 3 may bear a print to provide information about the standing packaging 1 and its contents.

The standing packaging 1 further comprises at least one or a plurality of additional elements.

The additional element may comprise a third cover element 33 of the outer packaging 3 and/or at least a first additional bag (not shown) for transporting food products. The first additional bags are not shown in any of Figures 1 to 6. However, the first additional bags are preferably similar or generally identical to at least one of the first bag 21 or second bag 22 described above in the present description, so so that, for convenience, reference is made to the description of the first bag 21 and/or second bag 22, which also applies to such first additional bags. Of course, it may be similar for the additional second bags 22', 22'', which are described in more detail below. The additional element is at least partially sandwiched between the first bag 21 and one of the two cover elements 31, 32. For example, in Figure 6 the additional element is sandwiched between the first bag 21 and the first cover element 31.

The first and second cover elements 31, 32 may be integrally provided with each other to form the outer packaging 3.

In particular, Figures 1 to 6 show an embodiment in which the three preferably mentioned cover elements 31, 32, 33 are integrally provided with each other to form a loop-shaped outer packaging 3. As shown in Figure 6, by overlapping the first cover element 31 and the third cover element 33, the overlapping regions can be secured to each other to provide a closed loop-shaped outer packaging 3 that securely surrounds all the bags. 21, 22. Additional designs of outer packaging 3 can be a U shape or a box shape of outer packaging 3.

In a preferred embodiment, the outer packaging 3 further comprises a flat base element 35 to support or even transport the standing packaging 1. This base element 35 can also be integrally formed with at least one and preferably all of the cover elements ( here with all the other cover elements 31 to 32 and the third cover element 33). As can be seen in Figures 5 and 6, the base element 35 preferably covers bottom regions of the respective bags 21,22.

To easily manufacture the standing package 1, the cover elements 31, 32 and 33 can be connected by bending regions 37 to facilitate folding of the outer package 3 into its final shape to obtain the standing package 1. This is illustratively displayed for the first cover element 31 in figures 1 to 6.

As can be seen in Figures 1 to 5, the additional element(s) (i.e., the third cover element 33 and/or first additional bags) are penetrated through the hole(s). intern(s) 36, respectively. The through hole 36 may have any shape, e.g. e.g., a rounded or polygonal shape. In Figures 1 to 5, the through hole 36 has an oval shape. However, the shape can also be circular or it can be square or any other shape. At least one of the through holes 36 and preferably all of the through holes 36 preferably comprise at least two or even more of the distant through holes 361, 362.

The one cover element (i.e. the first cover element 31) and the at least one first bag 2 are glued (G1) together by glue G1 through the through hole(s) 36 of the additional element(s) 33. Therefore, the glue G1 forms a kind of bolt or plug to allow the outer packaging 3 to connect with the at least one first bag 21 and, together, carry the first additional bag(s).

The second bag 22 is glued directly (G2) not through a through hole to at least one of the cover elements 31, 32 or the additional element.

In Figures 1 to 3 it is illustratively shown that the second bag 22 is glued directly (G2) to the second cover element 32 not through a through hole.

The second bag 22 can be glued directly (G2) to a portion or surface of the other of the two cover elements 31, 32 that is not glued to the first bag 21 through the through hole 36. For example, in the figures, The second bag 22 is glued directly to the portion or surface of the second cover element 32 that faces the first bag 21 in a folded state of the standing package 1.

The glue G2 for the second bag(s) 22 (, 22', 22'') may be provided as glue dots, a line of glue G2 or an area 42 provided with glue G2. Alternatively, G2 glue can be provided as a double-sided adhesive tape. However, this list of examples for G2 glue is not limiting. In Figure 1, the area 42 provided with glue G2 is used to glue the second bag 22 to the second cover element 32. The second bag 22 can be sandwiched at least partially between the first bag 21 and the outer packaging 3, preferably the another cover element, here the second cover element 32 or the additional element 33. The second bag 22 can also be sandwiched at least partially between, on the one hand, one of the two cover elements 31, 32 or the additional element 33 , to which it is directly glued and, on the other hand, the other of one of the cover elements 31, 32 or the corresponding additional element 33, to which it is not directly glued.

Figure 4 illustratively shows the second bag 22 that is sandwiched between the second cover element 32 and the first bag 21.

In a preferred embodiment, the standing package 1 comprises more than one second bag 22. The standing package 1 in Figures 1 to 3 has two additional second bags 22', 22''. The number of additional second bags 22', 22'' is not limited to two. Rather, it is possible that up to ten or more additional second bags 22 may be provided.

The second bags 22, 22', 22'' can be glued to the same element, that is, to at least one of the cover elements 31, 32 or the additional element 33. Preferably, the second bags 22, 22', 22 '' are glued to the same side or surface of the two cover elements 31, 32 or the additional element as shown in Figures 1 to 3.

Additionally or alternatively, the second bags 22, 22', 22'' may be at least partially overlapped in at least one viewing direction, preferably in a front view of the stationary package 1.

Front of Standing Pack 1 is the front view of Standing Pack 1 in its folded state. Figure 6 illustratively shows a rear view of the stopped packaging 1 in its folded state and operational position. In Figure 6, the front of the standing package 1 is formed by the outer surface of the second cover element 32.

Alternatively, the second bags 22, 22', 22'' may overlap at least partially so that the bottom edges 220 of the adjoining second bags 22, 22', 22' are positioned at different heights h1, h2, h3.

This is illustratively shown in Figure 2 of the present invention. In it, three second bags 22, 22', 22'' are glued directly to the second cover element 32. For example, the second cover element 22 can be arranged at a vertical height h1 with respect to the flat base element 35 or an edge bottom of the second cover element 32. Similarly, the second additional bags 22', 22' are arranged at respective heights h2 and h3 with respect to the flat base element 35. The heights h1 to h3 can be vertical with respect to the surface on the in which the standing packaging 1 is placed. Furthermore, in Figure 2, the heights h1 to h3 extend between the bottom edge 220 of the respective second bag 22, 22', 22'' and the bottom edge of the second element of cover 32, which is formed in Figure 2 as a fold line.

Additionally or alternatively, the second bags 22, 22', 22' may overlap at least partially such that the second bag 22, 22', 22'', whose bottom edge 220 is higher with respect to its second bag 22, 22', 22'' adjoining, is at least partially sandwiched between the element, to which it is directly glued, that is, one of the two cover elements 31, 32 or the additional element 33, and at least the second bag 22, 22', 22'' adjacent.

This relationship is best illustrated in Figure 2. For example, the second bag 22' is sandwiched between the second cover element 32, to which it is directly attached, and its adjacent second bag 22, so that the second bag 22' is placed at a higher height h2 compared to the second bag 22, which is placed at height h1.

Therefore, a staggered arrangement of the second bags 22, 22', 22'' can be achieved. However, it is also possible that the second bags 22, 22', 22'' are arranged in a different way, for example, in such a way that the second bags 22, 22', 22' can overlap at least partially in such a way that the second bag 22, 22', 22'', whose bottom edge 220 is lower with respect to its second adjacent bag 22, 22', 22'', is sandwiched at least partially between the element, to which it is directly glued , that is, one of the two cover elements 31, 32 or the additional element 33, and at least the second adjacent bag 22, 22', 22''.

In a preferred embodiment, the element 31, 32, 33, to which the second bag 22 is directly glued, comprises a gluing portion 42 for directly gluing the second bag 22 to the respective element 31, 32, 33. This is illustratively shown in Figure 1, where the gluing portion 42 is shown as the aforementioned area 42.

However, it is also possible to provide the gluing portion 42 directly on the second bags 22, 22', 22''.

In a preferred embodiment of a standing package 1 comprising more than one second bag 22, 22', 22'', a gluing portion 42 may be provided for each of the second bags 22, 22', 22'', as shown. shown in Figure 1. Preferably, the gluing portion 42 of a particular second bag 22, 22', 22'' is displaced to an adjacent second bag 22, 22', 22'', where preferably the second bag 22, 22', 22'' is on the same side of the second particular bag 22, 22', 22'' as the gluing portion 42 of the second particular bag 22, 22', 22''.
