Definitions

• the present invention relates to the field of flexible packaging having thin walls, generally referred to as "pouches,” which are widely used for containing fruit juices or puree, yogurt, drinks and the like that are mostly intended for consumption by kids.
• Packaging of this kind is typically provided with a spout which has a cap and, in the past, precisely in order to increase the children' s appreciation, solutions were developed which were provided with a cap which also has a toy function.
• the problem addressed by the present invention is that of providing packaging which has features that are particularly attractive to a child.
• Fig. la and lb show packaging according to an embodiment of the present invention
• FIG. 2 is a schematic view of a rear wall of the packaging according to an embodiment of the present invention.
• FIG. 3a and 3b show packaging according to yet another embodiment of the present invention.
• the reference sign 1 is intended to indicate, as a whole, a packaging or pouch.
• the packaging 1 comprises a flexible bag 10 comprising a front wall 12 which has lateral edges 12a, 12b, a lower edge 12c and an upper edge 12d, and comprising a rear wall 14 which has corresponding lateral edges 14a, 14b, a lower edge 14c and an upper edge 14d; the front wall 12 faces the rear wall 14.
• the front wall 2 and the rear wall 4 are sealingly joined, preferably welded, along the lateral edges 2a, 2b; 4a, 4b.
• the bag 10 preferably also comprises a back wall (not shown) which sealingly joins, preferably by means of welding, the front wall 12 and the rear wall 14 at the lower edges 12c, 14c.
• a back wall (not shown) which sealingly joins, preferably by means of welding, the front wall 12 and the rear wall 14 at the lower edges 12c, 14c.
• the lower edges 12c, 14c are sealingly joined directly to one another, preferably by means of welding.
• the upper edges 12d, 14d are preferably sealingly joined, for example welded.
• the packaging 1 preferably comprises a spout 3, which is held between the walls 12, 14 at the upper edges 12d, 14d, and a cap 5 to close the spout 3.
• each wall 12, 14 of the bag 10 consists of a flexible film, which is preferably multilayer, which is impermeable to oxygen or permeable to oxygen.
• the front wall 12 has a transparent portion 20, i.e. a portion which is produced using a monolayer or multilayer film and allows the inside of the bag 10 or a product P contained therein to be observed.
• said transparent portion can be obtained using a multilayer film which consists of PE-PET-PETHB (from the inside out) .
• Said transparent portion 20 is preferably entirely contained on the front wall 12.
• said transparent portion 20 is preferably delimited by a window edge 22 having a geometric shape, e.g. circular, elliptical or polygonal, or with a fanciful shape.
• the front wall 14 which has an outer face 14e facing the outside and an inner wall 14i facing the inside of the bag 10, has, on the inner face 14i, a distinctive region 30 visible from the outside through said transparent portion 20 of the front wall 12, when not covered by the product P .
• the distinctive region 30 is distinguishable from the remaining part of the inner face 14i of the rear wall 14, for example by a particular choice of colors or by the presence of a meaningful or fanciful inscription or distinctive signs 32.
• said distinctive region 30 has graphic signs or color patterns which distinguish said region from the remaining part of said inner face 14i.
• the distinctive region can be obtained by means of a multilayer film which consists of PE-PET-PETHB or PE-PET-ALU-PET (from the inside out), in which the layer of PE-PET protects against the ink used to mark the distinctive signs.
• FIG. 3a and 3b illustrate a further embodiment of the invention; in these figures, the same reference signs are used as in Fig. la, lb and 2.
• FIG. 3a and 3b illustrate packaging 1 provided with a bag 10 having sides 18a, 18b which are sealingly joined, typically by means of welding, to the respective lateral edges 12a, 14a; 12b, 14b of the front wall 12 and the rear wall 14.
• the invention provides flexible packaging which can be particularly appreciated by children, in that it is provided with a play aspect which consists in discovering the distinctive region inside the bag through the transparent portion of one wall, when the product is consumed.
