Abstract

La présente invention concerne un emballage de confinement de type sachet pour contenir et distribuer des produits, comportant un film avant et un film arrière scellé au film avant selon une pluralité de scellées bord à bord. Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, l'emballage de confinement de type sachet comporte une partie de scellé élargie orientée vers l'intérieur depuis un premier scellé de bord de la pluralité de scellés bord à bord et une découpe diagonale de forme allongée orientée sensiblement à travers le premier scellé de bord et pénétrant dans la partie de scellé élargie. La partie de scellé élargie et la découpe diagonale de forme allongée facilitent le déchirement simple à direction contrôlée. Dans un mode de réalisation de l'invention, l'emballage de confinement de type sachet présente un renflement préformé, une partie de scellé élargie orientée vers l'intérieur depuis deux scellés de bord adjacents à l'angle où les deux scellés de bord se rencontrent, et deux découpes diagonales de forme allongée orientées dans la partie de scellé élargie, facilitant le déchirement d'une partie d'angle de forme globalement triangulaire.
