Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to flexible packaging containers, and specifically to flexible packaging containers having a reinforcement structure that assists in preventing deformation of the flexible packaging containers.
  • Flexible packaging containers are commonly used for handling, storage, transportation and display of dispensable products. It is typically undesirable or not possible to completely fill a flexible packaging container. Thus, these flexible packaging containers tend to bulge or create variable shaped forms due to the formation of the dispensable product contained therein and the particular orientation at which the flexible packaging container is maintained. This bulging typically results in the flexible packaging container having rounded corners and sides which are not straight, which in turn results in the flexible packaging containers being more difficult to handle, store and display. Moreover, the bulging and/or deformation of such flexible packaging containers makes it difficult to stack these flexible packaging containers in stores for retail display and/or shipping.
  • a flexible packaging container that is easy to manufacture and yet incorporates an efficient support system for assisting in maintaining the shape of the container, even during stacking. Furthermore, there is a desire for a flexible packaging container that has an easy pour system. Additionally, there is a desire for a flexible packaging container that can be positioned up-right on a display shelf so that the main surface of the container having product indicia faces towards the consumer.
  • Embodiments of the present invention provide a flexible packaging container that is easy to handle, has a compact design and is simple to remove its contents.
  • Other embodiments of the present invention provide a flexible packaging container that has a logo that is in a readable orientation during carrying/display and does not collapse.
  • such flexible packaging containers provide improved brand recognition and a flexible packaging container that can be efficiently packed for storage, transportation and/or display.
  • the invention can be a flexible packaging container comprising: a container formed of a first flexible film, the container comprising a cavity for receiving a dispensable product, a first sidewall and a second sidewall opposite the first sidewall; and at least one strap formed of a second flexible film, the strap located within the cavity and having a first end connected to the first sidewall and a second end connected to the second sidewall.
  • the invention can be a flexible packaging container comprising: a flexible container comprising: a cavity for receiving a dispensable product; a first sidewall having a first central region; and a second sidewall having a second central region opposite the first sidewall; at least one flexible strap located within the cavity and having a first end connected to the first central region of the first sidewall and a second end connected to the second central region of the second sidewall; and a first product indicia on an outer surface of the container in at least one of the first and second central regions.
  • the invention can be a flexible packaging container comprising: a flexible container, the flexible container comprising a cavity for receiving a dispensable product, a first sidewall, and a second sidewall opposite the first sidewall; at least one flexible strap located within the cavity and having a first end connected to the first sidewall and a second end connected to the second sidewall; wherein the flexible container has a block shape having a container length L C , a container height H C and a container depth Dc, a ratio of the container length L C to the container height H C being greater than or equal to 1.2:1 and a ratio of the container length L C to the container depth D C being greater than or equal to 1.5:1; and wherein the first and second sidewalls extend the container length L C and the container height H C .
