Definitions

  • This invention relates to so-called Bag-ln-Box (BIB) carton packaging suitable for diverse flowable materials, such as liquids, gels, granules, pellets, capsules, sachets, chunks, crystals, flakes or powders.
  • BIB Bag-ln-Box
  • BIB is used herein for convenience to embrace packaging with inner and outer structures of different materials.
  • a prime category features a relatively soft deformable inner liner or bag and a relatively stiff, hard outer box or carton.
  • the inner structure is impermeable and sealable for contents enclosure - whilst the outer structure need not be, but rather serves as a protective outer cover.
  • inner and outer structures are made separately and independently by different processes and brought together for contents fill. This contrasts with, say, continuous sealed tube carton technology, such as represented by TETRAPAK TM
  • BIB carton case assembly erection, bag (liner) insertion, inflation and fill.
  • BIB offers the prospect of collapse format, both before and after use, with attendant savings in so-called in-bound logistics and post-usage disposal.
  • BIB obviates shipment and storage of empty containers preparatory to contents fill.
  • BIB does require mechanised assembly preparatory to fill, and thus additional facilities and operations at or prefacing a fill station.
  • BIB fill requires specialised equipment, generally incompatible with that for rigid containers.
  • a relatively stout outer box or carton offers protection and support to an otherwise vulnerable bag.
  • Mutual bag-carton interaction - and in particular relative location - pose particular challenges for BIB packaging. Regulatory & Environmental
  • a filled bag is inserted through a carton open (top) end and carton top flaps closed over the bag to create a full enclosure.
  • a bag neck and spout may be submerged within the closed box - accessible by opening a panel or hatch. Alternatively, the bag neck or spout penetrates a localised aperture in a box top flap.
  • the Applicant has BIB technology with various (branded) improvements, including ... JERRlBOX (TM)
  • the Applicant has devised a bespoke BIB container - branded JERRIBOX (TM) - in which a special locating collar is fitted between inner bag liner and outer box carton, to allow fill on a fill line originally intended for rigid wall containers such as plastics jerrycans.
  • TM JERRIBOX
  • the Applicant has also devised a collapsible flat pack pre-assembled format, in which a collapse folded bag is sandwiched within a collapse folded carton wrap - but for a protruding neck - itself held captive by a locating and entrainment collar.
  • the Applicant has further devised pneumatic bag inflation - branded PULSE PA(C)K (TM) - to effect, or at least assist, bag and wrapped carton erection into a 3-D form, preparatory to fill.
  • TM PULSE PA(C)K
  • a continuous or discontinuous (time / amplitude) 'controlled' individual pneumatic pulse or pulse stream is envisaged for this. Challenges arises in assembly, erection and contents fill of such JERRIBOX (TM) containers.
  • Bag Orientation Bag angular orientation or indexing within the carton is also a factor, particularly for rectangular bags.
  • bag disposition reflects relative locations of bag and collar, along with collar and carton.
  • Complementary inter-fitting, say rectangular, collar and carton aperture profiles inhibit relative collar and carton rotation.
  • bag anti-rotation or anti-torque provision is desirable.
  • a BIB carton comprises a bag location and retention cartridge or capsule, configured as a compact module, mounted upon or entrained with a bag neck for insertion from outside the carton, into a (pre-formed) carton panel aperture.
  • An optional feature is complementary inter-fitting collar and neck profiles.
  • An example would be a serrated collar aperture and radial protrusions on a bag neck. These are conveniently disposed adjacent a bag neck ring which interacts with the circumference of a collar aperture, or an upstand rim there-from.
  • the module is self-contained and pre-fabricated - with bag ready for mounting and deployment.
  • the cartridge can feature a bag location and retention collar such as previously devised by the Applicant, but adapted to facilitate bag installation - specifically by admitting bag (collapse) pre-fold.
  • a cartridge can be installed from externally of a carton - a radical departure from BIB convention. Indeed, the carton can be fully erected and sealed into a closed 3-D form, merely leaving exposed a modest profiled aperture for cartridge insertion. Thus carton completion need not be delayed pending bag installation.
  • the carton aperture desirably has flat sides to contact corresponding flat sides on a bag collar.
  • a rectangular aperture and collar bounding profile are convenient, but other flat-sided, polygonal forms could be used.
  • Complementary curvilinear forms might also be contrived, given consideration to geometry for mutual interfit, retention, location and anti-rotation.
  • a carton aperture to receive a cartridge - or rather its location and retention collar - is desirably pre-formed.
  • an aperture could be die cut as part of an elongate laid-flat strip 2-D carton blank, preparatory to folding over into a closed loop 3-D form.
  • a micro-perforated aperture delineation might be pre- imprinted as a weakening line into a carton panel. This preparatory local wall thickness reduction and weakening facilitate punch through displacement to reveal an aperture, upon cartridge forced insertion.
  • One location is desirably at an edge between top flap and side wall - so as not to undermine stiffness - by contriving aperture bounding edges in orthogonal panel faces.
  • Push Fit Cartridge Insertion Unusually for BIB, cartridge insertion can be undertaken for an assembled and closed carton, by push-fit and snap-action edge rim retention lugs.
  • a cartridge features a collapse (say concertina) folded bag disposed within a frangible or burstable enclosure, wrap or bag (of say thin paper), with optional bounding closure tie, and a location and retention collar entrained to a back neck.
  • a collapsed bag can sit within the bounding confines or footprint of a peripheral rim upstand of a cartridge collar, or as a snug cluster under a collar tray.
  • the collapsed bag should be unencumbered by its temporary enclosure, to remain freely deployable - say, upon contents fill, with optional preparatory pre-inflation (air) pulse burst.
  • a compact pre-assembled cartridge protects the bag until deployed within a carton and is more readily shipped, stored and handled - so better suited to automated mechanised assembly lines.
  • Pre-assembled cartridges could be stacked upright in a grid array in a carton tray, readily accessible for pick-and-place collection by a robotic arm.
  • a plunger nose penetrating the collar, or rather the bag neck aperture, could be used, or a modest suction, to grip a selected cartridge for withdrawal from its shipment packaging tray.
  • a standard case erector could be adapted for full carton assembly, erection, end flap closure, bounding edge tape seal and /or panel bonding - preparatory to mechanised cartridge insertion by, say, a robotic pick-and-place arm.
  • a bag neck or spout must be braced against screw closure cap fitment and tightening to seal - otherwise the neck, and with it the bag, would twist and deform. This requires interaction between bag and box.
  • the cartridge, or rather the collar part of the cartridge, has a reception aperture for bag neck insertion.
  • the collar aperture edge rim can be profiled as a slightly raised, resiliently deformable snap-action interfit with a threaded bag neck. Coarse circumferential segmentation or serration of such a collar aperture upstand rim and co-operative interaction or interfit with a complementary ribbed profile or at least radial lugs upon a bag neck collar.
  • Bag neck and collar can be mutually entrained discrete elements (with say snap action interfit of profiled collar aperture and bag neck) or integrated (say with a unitary moulding) upon bag production. Entrainment favours pre-assembly of a collar and collapsed back in a compact cartridge forma. Additional features could be integrated with the collar - say for carton retention and handling.
  • the collar desirably has an integrated retention 'clip' profile for interaction with carton panel edges. Clip action allows for spring action by resilient deformation of collar wall and/or carton panel edge.
  • the cartridge as a unitary module can thus clip - say with positive snap-action - into a carton wall aperture.
  • the recessed tray profile with inset bag neck or spout of the Applicant's PCT/GB2004/002609 could be adopted.
  • the tray serves for spillage containment and local carton wall protection.
  • options for integration of bag neck and collar and bag installation from outside a carton were envisaged.
  • a tray collar preserves an overall rectangular carton profile with bag in situ and a spillage containment shield helpful as a splash guard in original contents fill and subsequent user pouring - card carton material being vulnerable to moisture wetting.
  • a bag pre-collapsed within frangible (paper) outer shroud, has a neck entrained or integrated with a locating collar.
  • This pre-assembly is ready for installation as a unitary module into an aperture in a carton wall, such as a top closure flap and/or side panel.
  • Such a bespoke collapsed bag and entrained locating collar can be pre-inserted - ie before bag inflation and contents fill.
  • 'Whole body' insertion in a larger than conventional BIB carton (bag neck) aperture is envisaged.
  • (cartridge) insertion could be combined with a carton closure step - by co-operative interfit between collar and carton flaps.
  • Closure - Lock The collar could itself form a carton (top flap capture) closure or lock. Such a closure might supplement, or even substitute for, conventional carton flap closure techniques such as tape or adhesive bonding.
  • a one-way Insertion mode would be desirable to inhibit inadvertent unseating and withdrawal under transit vibration, handling and bag inflation forces. Vigorous mix shaking as in paint industry use would be and example. An irreversible insertion without visible evidence of interference could serve as a tamper evident closure.
  • the collar desirably features retention clips for interaction with carton panels or panel edges.
  • Discrete individual clips may be employed, say with a one-way spring wedge or detent insertion action.
  • a serrated depending tang, spike or stud allows one-way insertion in a complementary panel aperture, by temporary deflection of panel edges - but inhibits removal by abutment with panel underside faces.
  • a fragmented or continuous resiliently deformable edge profile may be adopted. This profile is deflected upon insertion just sufficiently to fit within a carton panel mounting aperture, whereupon it springs back to inhibit withdrawal by engaging panel inside faces. Continuity may run around the entire clip periphery or segmented in juxtaposed runs along clip side edges.
  • a conical tray floor profile admits flexing. Reversal of such flexing to stable profiles on either side of an (unstable) flat plane in turn drives the walls outward or inward - for panel aperture insertion or location- retention.
  • Bag collapse pre-supposes a flexible bag (wall) - admitting rolling and/or folding without permanent set or damage and restitution of unfurled format.
  • a free-form so-called pillow bag - which is volumetrically compatible with, and whose outer profile conforms to, the inner profile of an outer carton containment - could be employed. That said, rectangular format bags, with seams dictating a pre-constrained outer profile, complementary with carton capacity, could be used.
  • a bag roll or fold axis orientation transverse and/or about the bag neck axis may be adopted. Bag orientation is facilitated by correction collar positioning and retention by carton closure. Alternatively, a concertina or successive mutual overlay, fold may be employed. Multiple individual fold axes, in selective combination across and/or along or parallel to a bag neck axis, could cumulatively contrive a compact cartridge form. Yet such a cartridge could be readily expandible - without snagging - in, say, the manner of a parachute, to an unencumbered, fully-deployed form, ready for contents fill.
  • top carton flaps An insertable from exterior bag-collar cartridge frees up top closure constraints upon carton configuration.
  • split top carton flaps could be replaced by a continuous wrap.
  • multiple top flap configuration could be adapted for collar mounting - say to allow insertion in one plane, followed by insertion in another plane. Reliance would then still be placed upon a final taping of top and/or side flap seams to secure overall carton closure.
  • Bag inflation could be contrived to promote carton (top flap) closure - ie a proportion of filled bag weight could be transferred through neck locating collar, to the top flaps.
  • the collar itself could be configured to promote carton (top - side) flap closure.
  • Collar Portion lnterfit Discrete complementary opposed collar portions could be configured for co-operative locking interfit upon installation around a protruding neck spout.
  • a collar edge slot could allow (lateral) sliding insertion of carton panel edges. Slot depth could allow either solid or corrugated carton card materials. Slot walls could retain a modest resilient spring action to grip inserted carton layers.
  • split / Hinged Collar A split and/or hinged collar configuration could facilitate installation and promote carton closure.
  • a restraint tie such as a tape, band or cord, could wrap around a collapsed (rolled and/or folded) bag to preserve collapsed condition until severed or fractured preparatory to, or upon bag deployment.
  • Sheath Format A sleeve or collar sheath format would suit a cylindrical bag roll about the bag neck axis. A pneumatic pulse inflation could burst or rupture such restraint, without damage to the bag wall itself.
  • Bag inflation could promote or secure split collar installation by, say, bag top wall contact bias against a collar underside, to resist collar fold or collapse.
  • reversible cone collar floor action could be triggered by contact with inflated bag top wall shoulders, in turn to flip collar walls outward into secure location with carton top panel / flap edges.
  • Pre-tensioned Bag Wall A bag wall pre-tensioned or biassed to impart an inherent roll-up or collapse fold tendency or pre-disposition could be contrived to keep a split collar ready for installation. That is, bag collapse into a compact pack would accompany collar element (re-)disposition.
  • bag contents have been discharged .while the bag remains within a carton, the bag cartridge could be removed and the bag rolled and/or folded to promote residual contents discharge.
  • a bag with a permanent memory or set for reversion to a collapsed form would impart contents discharge bias throughout its temporary storage role. Such a set could be imparted by differential local heat treatment and/or wall stretch or thickening upon initial bag fabrication such as from a continuous tube, or as post-fabrication treatment by applying a heated tool.
  • collapsed bag cartridges and collapsed cartons could be delivered to a fill location. This eases so-called 'inbound logistics' and minimises local storage space requirements. Bag cartridges suitable for a variety of carton shapes and sizes also simplify stock requirements.
  • a bag cartridge is compatible with a carton liner, inserted upon initial carton erection, before end flap closure and before bag cartridge installation.
  • a retained collar keeps a bag cartridge in place under disturbing vibrations in transit and supplements the effect of a filled bag weight in pulling the bag down inside a carton.
  • a combination of bag seat upon a carton base and hang from a collar seated into a carton top keeps the bag deployed and collar in place.
  • a bias weight could be attached to a bag, say at a bottom edge, to promote bag deployment.
  • An example would be a slab of dense material, or even the carton wall material in individual or multiple layers.
  • a weight profile complementary to the inner carton wall profile would help bag and carton alignment. Rounded edge forms could discourage snagging between weight and inner walls.
  • the weight could feature a cushion or pillow bag to absorb and dampen impact shock upon the carton. Air entrapped below the weight could act as a cushion damper against the sudden impact shock of bag inflation or contents fill.
  • An expandible profile mass such as a base slab with fold-up/down peripheral walls, could be employed to fit within a carton inner profile upon bag deployment. This would preserve bag and carton mutual alignment and inhibit bag snagging. Overall Costs

  • a cartridge or rather a collar, can serve as or substitute for a carton end wall.
  • This 'liberates' the carton configuration from conventional flat folded- over, tuck-in panel constructions - not least as interaction of (collar) end caps and intervening carton wall can replace carton end flaps, with associated tape edge seal and bonding.
  • carton used herein should be broadly interpreted to include such transitional or merged forms which the present invention admits.
  • Extended collar configurations could serve as carton side walls - ie not merely end wall closures.
  • An example could be any of Figs 28 through 31 , but particularly the 'CARDBOARD BOTTLE' TMof Figure 29B.
  • An example is included in Figure 29B1
  • Collar 12 serves to locate - and in the present invention also retain - in an aperture in carton 14. Collar 12 thus represents a 'constructive intervention' between bag 11 and carton 12.
  • the collar 12 is now united with a pre-collapse folded bag 11 in a so- called bag cartridge 20 according the present invention, overall a bag cartridge 20 interacts with a carton 12. Indeed, as will be described later, a bag cartridge 20 can subsitute for what would otherwise be carton (side or end) wall.
  • Container 10 is assembled from pre-fabricated components or sub-assemblies.
  • a principal sub-assembly of the present invention is a so-called bag cartridge, capsule or cassette module 20, combining a compact collapse folded bag 11 within a collar 12.
  • Compact means that the bag 11 is collapsed to a format 21 within the footprint, span or embrace of a collar 12.
  • Bag 11 , and optionally part of collar 12, are within a protective temporary outer enclosure or wrap, such as a paper strip 90 (omitted for clarity in most Figures).
  • a principal assembly consideration is bag cartridge 20 installation by insertion from outside a pre-assembled carton 14.
  • Traditional BIB has located a pre-filled bag into an open top of a partially pre-assembled carton.
  • Earlier proposals have used a bag and carton united - even pre-joined (bonded) before assembly. It is envisaged that bag cartridge 20 could be produced off-site and simplify container assembly.
  • Bag cartridge 20 features a rolled and/or folded up bag 21 , within a frangible strip wrap 90, or optionally secured by a (temporary) frangible tie band 22.
  • Diverse roll and/or fold bag collapse modes are tenable - such as the transverse (to neck axis) roll of
  • Figure 1 D shows bag roll about a neck axis - with an outer containment wrap, sheath or sleeve fitted. Other bag collapse (fold) modes are explored later. Bag 11 thus remains in a compact condition 21 - readily handled and installed - until ready for deployment - say by pre-inflation or contents fill, but only after installation in a carton 14.
  • a thin-wall bag 11 is vulnerable to snagging, puncture or tear, but when collapsed or gathered - say rolled or (reverse / concertina) folded - to within compact format 21 presents a more robust massed 'bulk'.
  • a bag compact 21 is a robust self- contained element, not dependent upon carton 14 for its integrity.
  • a seamless or freeform pillow bag 11 format could be employed. This differentiates it from past bonded bag and carton outer panels, such as GB959306.
  • Collar 12 could be a discrete element entrained with, or captive upon, neck 13, say by a retention rim, shoulder washer or circlip.
  • an integrated neck 13 and collar 12 - as a unitary element (along with depending bag) could be contrived - say as part of bag production. Integration frees up collar 12 and neck 13 design - to admit more diverse forms.
  • Figures 35A-B depict a formative example.
  • tie wrap 22 might be integrated with collar 12 or neck 13 - or indeed bag 11.
  • a band or strip tie 22 would spread wrap loads over the bag 11 wall, to obviate local constrictions or kinks.
  • An overall sleeve or collar would also serve.
  • a draw cord running through external bag wall loops or pocket seam could be used.
  • bag cartridge 20 bag 11 , bag compact 21 , collar 12 and carton 14 admit of considerable variation - which is explored, albeit not exhaustively in the drawings, which concentrate upon simpler formats believed generally self-explanatory on their own account and in conjunction with the component list footnote hereto.

  • a light-weight, 'pick-and-place' robotic arm 81 mounted upon a traveller rail 83 would pick up a pre-prepared bag cartridge 20 from a storage dispenser, such as a feed chute, or a pre-packed matrix tray assembly (not shown * ).
  • the bag cartridge 20 would be gripped by the neck 13 or collar 12 and a temporary sealing connection made to a pneumatic supply in readiness for bag inflation.
  • Selected bag cartridge 20 would then be carried to a carton 14, aligned and inserted - by, say, a translational and/or rotational (twist) action into a carton aperture 24.
  • a precise pneumatic pulse would be applied to inflate and deploy the bag 11 until firmly and snugly up against a carton 14 inner walls. The operation would allow controlled bag positioning, orientation and deployment.
  • Bag cartridge retention is desirably supplemented by bag 11 inflation and/or contents fill.
  • a bag top shoulder could bias collar locking - say, from below.
  • a larger collar could allow bag cartridge utilisation for BUCKET BOX TM style containers, with an access aperture span at, or close to carton footprint.
  • a closure with control valve such as a wine box ON/OFF tap stopper could be substituted.
  • a pop-up, retractable neck or spout could be contrived with bag 11 inflation and/or fill - so the bag 11 provides a spring cushion support.
  • a conical profile, resilient collar upstand could impart a spring up or down action to a captive bag neck.
  • a tap stopper could be carried. Neck installation mid-carton footprint would provide centrally disposed access.
  • Figures 15A-E explore an example.
  • Anti-Torque A rectangular or flat-sided collar 12 profile could locate within a rectangular carton top panel aperture - for anti-torque resistance to screw closure tightening upon fitment.
  • a one-sided or overall cartridge thin layer, peelable (shrink) wrap may be fitted for secure pre-installation.
  • a frangible sheet gauge allows rupture upon bag inflation and unroll / unfold without impediment.
  • a locating collar profile may incorporate a finger grip recess or cut-out to the inside of a bag neck, to facilitate carton tip and pour.
  • a recessed, but pull-up, movable handle may be incorporated in the collar - if cost considerations allow.
  • Handle or profiled finger grip cut-outs may also feature in carton wall panels.
  • a neck or spout may be offset to one side of a bag top for larger capacity bags lending themselves to tip and discharge pour from one side.
  • a neck may be disposed more centrally, say marginally to one side of a longitudinal (upright) axis.
  • a larger span bag neck and locating collar would suit.
  • a top opening and closure might span a major part, if not the entirety, of a container footprint. The collar could then play a greater structural role in the overall container.
  • Bag panel fabrication (weld) joint (reinforcement) seams may be co-operatively disposed with carton corners or panel junctions.
  • a bag seam may be disposed diagonally between opposed carton corner edges.
  • FIG. 18A-C An individual JERRIBOX (TM) BIB container 10 features an outer carton 14 enshrouding an internal bag liner 11 , with a protruding neck or spout 13 entrained by a location and retention collar 12.
  • Collar 12 is configured as an open-sided shallow tray 29, with upstanding peripheral side and rear walls 27 with top rim flange 28 surmounting a carton top panel 25/32/37. An open front face is thus exposed between out-turned front face flanges surmounting a carton front wall panel 33.
  • a collar floor 29 upstand 17 interacts with a neck 13 base shoulder retention ledge, rim or shoulder 15. Upstand 17 depth is chosen to accommodate carton wall thickness, whether solid or corrugated.
  • Carton 14 features an inset top recess at one side.
  • Figures 18A-C show a rectangular aperture 34 in carton top seat or step, with an instep ledge 85, accommodates the collar 12 tray profile, without protruding above carton top (closure flap) panel 84.
  • an aperture 16 in collar 12 has a shallow flared rim upstand with a series of circumferentially spaced radial notches or slots 18 to accommodate corresponding radial tongues or ribs 19 at the base shoulder of back neck 13.
  • Co-operative tongue / rib 19 and notch / slot 18 interaction can also serve for collar 12 entrainment upon bag neck 13, with carton wall sandwiched therebetween - as is more apparent from Figure 18B.
  • a marginal interference fit between ribs 19 and slots 18 could be admitted.
  • Rotary indexing and entrapment of neck 13 and collar 12 could also be contrived by complementary interfit of collar upstand 17 and neck shoulder 15. That is ribs 19 and slots 18 could temporarily align for collar mounting then misalign for collar 12 capture. Modest bag 11 pre-twist and then relaxation rotation would suffice to accommodate such indexing. Alternatively, a separate locking collar or circlip (not shown) could be fitted to neck 13 after collar 12 fitment, to retain collar 12 securely in place.
  • FIG. 21 A through 21 D A bag 11 and carton 14 assembly sequence, culminating in capture of bag neck 13 by locating collar 12 is reflected in Figures 21 A through 21 D. Reliance is placed upon juxtaposition of neck 13 of a pre-collapsed bag 11 with a corresponding aperture 24 in a carton top flap panel .
  • the carton 14 is pre-assembled as a sleeve wrap and collapsed bag 11 inserted from one open end.
  • An alternative envisaged in a companion patent application of the Applicant is carton 14 wrap about a web fed flat bag 11.
  • Figure 19C shows collar 12 presented to pre-fabricated instep in carton 14 top panel, ready to receive and locate protruding bag neck 13.
  • Figure 19A reflects a collapsed bag 11 in collapsed flat-pack carton 12 sandwich with protruding aligned bag neck 13 located - and held captive by - collar 12, ready for neck closure cap 38 (threaded) fitment.
  • Figures 20A-B depicts closure cap 88 fitment - albeit in practice a closure cap would not be fitted until bag contents fill within a 3D erected carton.
  • Figures 21 A and 21 B could be regarded as relating to erected and filled 3D BIB cartons.
  • a pre-fitted closure cap 88 could be inserted, along with bag neck 13 - with collar 12 aperture 24 sized to pass over it, so a closed rather than open-ended bag neck is located. That said, again, closure 88 fitment is traditionally post fill - so removal pre-fill and re-instatement would be additional - and redundant - steps, particularly for carton assembly close to a fill station.
  • a temporary cap might be installed to prevent contamination of bag inner capacity.
  • a temporary neck cap seal, removed and discarded or punctured upon fill might preserve bag internal condition - say for contents for human consumption, such as edible oils. A sterile bag could thus be contemplated.
  • Figure 24A shows a split contents box of twin juxtaposed bags with respective neck collars at opposite sides. Such an arrangement might be used for complementary products, such as different fruit juices, or red and white wine.
  • Figure 24B shows a multiple - in this case quadruple - segmented BIB variant with triangular footprint quadrants nestled within an outer rectangular format.
  • Graphic delineation and/or background colour infill could express the sub-division visually, but within a common contiguous carton shell. In use the carton would simply be turned to present a selected quadrant neck for access.
  • a multi-head fill line (not shown) might be used for simultaneous fill of respective quadrant contents.
  • a discrete cruciform footprint liner might be located between internal bag quadrants, for mutual isolation and (end-to-end) stiffening, bracing and support.
  • Segmentation of the carton itself is an option - with discrete carton quadrants (with respective internal bags) entrained within, say, a shrink-wrap sheath. Again, each quadrant has a dedicated neck, location and retention collar. Collar profiles admit of variation from rectangular profiles, as explored in Figures 25A through 25F. Collar 12 and neck 13 would be profiled to suit target contents fill and dispensing.
  • Figure 3C depicts the diversity of potential flowable content forms, including - but not limited to - liquids, gels, pastes, chunks, tablets, capsules, pellets, granules, flakes and powders. Indeed, subject to test, any fragmented material form could be considered - with appropriate sizing and shaping of bag access aperture.
  • apertures representing a much large proportion of a carton end might be adopted to facilitate free-flow discharge - or even insertion of a ladle or scoop.
  • Neck / Spout Disposition might be made for bag or even overall carton squeeze locally to reduce cross-section and promote contents discharge - as with, say, pastes.
  • a neck or spout may be offset to one side of a bag top for larger capacity bags lending themselves to tip and discharge pour from one side.
  • a neck may be disposed more centrally, say marginally to one side of a longitudinal (upright) axis.
  • Bag Seam Disposition Bag panel fabrication (weld) joint (reinforcement) seams may be co-operatively disposed with carton corners or panel junctions.
  • a bag seam may be disposed diagonally between opposed carton corner edges.
  • a prime curved form would be a cylindrical wrap - say about plastics end caps with integral bag location collar functionality.
  • full-span end caps could dictate an outer cross-sectional form or footprint, with variable spacing to accommodate differential sleeve depth. This could apply to diverse end cap profiles, including rectangular, polygonal segmented, arcuate circular, oval or conic sections.
  • An intervening sleeve set between opposed end caps could be simpler than a conventional carton, with potentially less material usage or waste and more flexible assembly.
  • a carton sleeve could be severed to a desired length from a continuous extruded tube.
  • Pre-formed tubes of pre-impregnated or pre-sealed material such as employed with TETRAPAK (TM) cartons could be employed. Along with a sealable bag, this could provide a measure of double seal protection - albeit contingent upon sealing interfit of end caps and intervening sleeve.
  • TM TETRAPAK
  • bag or liner Whilst generally complementary bag and carton forms may be desirable to usable maximise internal volume or capacity, disconformity may be employed to leave free pockets for other uses. An example would be supplementary discrete cushion bags for impact or drop resistance - putting to advantage a gap between carton and bag walls.
  • a bag could be configured as a hollow sleeve, admitting both internal and external carton sleeve disposition in an overall carton-bag-carton sandwich. Such a composite sandwich form could be inflated or contracted whilst retaining relative disposition of elements.
  • a bag neck could be disposed in mid carton wall span.
  • a neck collar could be configured as a surrounding guidance funnel into the back neck. This could be helpful for drainage into a bag from an overlying reservoir.
  • a used oil container could be contrived in a sump drain format for sealed waste disposal.
