Definitions
- packaging intended for the packaging of an individual portion of fluid food product, for example a dessert of compote or yogurt type, a syrup, a fruit juice or a dose of milk or coffee.
- Packages comprising a flexible film whose two longitudinal edges are joined along a dorsal forming a tube, the transverse edges of said tube being then associated to delimit a packaging space of a product.
- these packages are conventionally arranged to be manually torn, especially near an upper transverse edge.
- EP-0 312 393 a package formed of a flexible film tube, the upper transverse edge of which is associated so as to form a sealed border which is arranged between two sides of said package, said edge presenting a central portion in which is formed a recess which is in communication with the conditioning space, a precut of tear primer being formed in a lateral portion of said border extending transversely opposite said recess.
- transverse manual traction is exerted on the rim at the precut, so as to tear said rim from one side of said package, the tear propagating to the recess, to create, through said recess, a dispensing orifice of the packaged product.
- the opening may be difficult to achieve or imperfectly carried out, in that said backbone may hinder the propagation of the tear.
- US-5,371,997 proposes a package in which the ridge extends from a lateral portion of the upper edge near one of the sides of the package, a pre-cut of tear primer being formed in said backbone and in said lateral portion extending transversely opposite the recess.
- food product packages are generally made from a flexible film having a laminated structure which is arranged to ensure the mechanical strength of said package before opening and the preservation of the packaged product.
- a structure can be difficult to tear manually, both in its thickness and the materials that compose it, and all the more in relation to the small size of the border of an individual package.
- the invention aims to improve the prior art by providing in particular a package arranged to allow easy and controlled tearing of its upper edge, to allow the creation of an optimized orifice for a better distribution of the packaged product in said packaging.
- the invention proposes a packaging for packaging a product, especially food, said packaging comprising a flexible film whose two longitudinal edges are joined along a dorsal forming a tube whose transverse edges are associated to delimit a packaging space, the association of the upper transverse edge forming a sealed border disposed between two sides of said package, said dorsal extending from a first lateral portion of said border near one of said sides, said edge having a central portion in said which is formed a recess which is in communication with the conditioning space, a precut of tear initiation being formed in the dorsal and in the first lateral portion extending transversely opposite said recess, the central portion of the rim being provided with an ablation line which is positioned in the transv ersal of the pre-cut, said ablation line being arranged to allow propagation of the tear of the precut on the central portion to create, through the recess, a dispensing orifice of the packaged product.
- a packaging for packaging a product, especially food said packaging comprising a flexible film.
- the packaging is intended for the packaging of an individual portion of fluid food product, for example a dessert of compote or yoghurt type, a syrup, a fruit juice or a dose of milk or of coffee.
- the flexible film has a laminated structure which comprises at least one outer layer and one inner layer, the thicknesses and / or the respective materials of said layers being chosen for their respective function.
- the outer layer can confer mechanical strength to the package, the inner layer allowing its closure, in particular by welding, but also a good preservation of the packaged product in the package while limiting the risk of tampering of said product with contact with said inner layer.
- the laminated structure in the case of a food product to be stored in the refrigerator before consumption, can be arranged to ensure the product packaged in the package a Consumption Deadline (DLC) of at least forty days.
- the flexible film may comprise an outer layer based on metallized polyethylene terephthalate (PET), for example with an aluminum foil, and an inner layer based on polyethylene (PE).
- the flexible film may optionally comprise at least one additional layer, especially chosen from a barrier layer based on ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH), which makes it possible in particular to improve the permeability of said film, and / or a layer of polyethylene (PE).
- EVOH ethylene vinyl alcohol
- PE polyethylene
- the association of the upper transverse edge 3 forms a sealed border 4 disposed between two sides 5a, 5b of the package.
- the upper edge 4 extends between the two sides 5a, 5b, for example on a transverse dimension D of about 32 mm.
- the edge 4 has a longitudinal dimension which is sufficient to guarantee the mechanical strength of the closure of the package, in particular with respect to its tightness under compression of the packaging space 2, for example of the order of 20 to 30 mm.
- a similar border may be formed at the level of the association of the lower transverse edge of the tube.
- the dorsal 1, the upper edge 4 and / or the possible lower edge may in particular be formed by welding the flexible film.
- the upper edge 4 has a central portion 4a in which is formed a recess 6 which is in communication with the conditioning space 2, said recess being arranged to allow the creation through it of a dispensing orifice of the product conditioned in the space 2 after opening the package.
- the central portion 4a is bordered on both sides by a lateral portion 4c, 4b of the upper edge 4.
- the recess 6 as well as the central portion 4a has a transverse dimension d4a of about 8 mm, said recess being centered between the sides 5a, 5b of the package.
- the geometry of the recess 6 is arranged to be able to form a sufficiently large dispensing orifice to ensure a good distribution of the packaged product, and all the more so if said product has a high viscosity, for example if it concerns a chilled dessert of yogurt or compote type, a syrup or a fruit juice.
- the central portion 4a has an unassociated portion 7 forming the recess 6, and an associated portion 8 disposed between the upper transverse edge 3 and said recess 6, the dimension of said portion. associated being arranged to maintain the tightness of the edge 4 before opening.
- the border 4 comprises a first associated lateral portion 4b which is disposed near a side 5a of the package, said first lateral portion extending from said adjacent side to the recess 6 and extending through the portion associated 8.
- the border 4 comprises a second associated lateral portion 4c which extends from the recess 6 to the side 5b of the package opposite the first lateral portion 4b, which makes it possible to obtain a recess 6 centered in the edge 4, in particular by providing two lateral portions 4b, 4c of transverse dimension d4b, d4c analog.
- the upper transverse edge 3 of the edge 4 has an upper zone which is continuously associated between the edges 5a, 5b of the package, the recess 6 being formed under said upper zone.
- the lateral portions 4b, 4c may each have a transverse dimension d4b, d4c of about 12 mm, insofar as the total transverse dimension D of the border upper 4 is about 32 mm and the transverse dimension d4a of the recess about 8 mm.
- the edge 4 may comprise only the first lateral portion 4b, the recess 6 then extending from said single lateral portion to the side 4b of the package opposite to said single lateral portion.
- the dorsal 1 extends from the first lateral portion 4b near one of the sides 5a of the package, a pre-cut 9a of tear initiation being formed in the dorsal 1 and in said first lateral portion extending transversely opposite said recess. Deporting the dorsal 1 near a side 5a of the package and forming a pre-cut 9a tear initiation both in said dorsal and in the adjacent side portion 4b of the edge 4 avoids that said dorsal, due to its thickness due to the superposition of the longitudinal edges of the flexible film and to the possible laminated structure of said film, does not withstand the propagation of the tear of said border.
- the pre-cut 9a tear initiation can extend over substantially the entire transverse dimension di of the dorsal 1, which allows to completely eliminate the obstacle to the propagation of the tear formed by said dorsal.
- the dorsal 1 comprises a fold line 10 connecting said dorsal to the first lateral portion 4b delimiting external zones 1 1 a and internal 1 1 b of said lateral portion which respectively extend from said line of folding to the adjacent side 5a of the package and from said fold line to the recess 6.
- the pre-cut 9a tear initiation extends over substantially the entire transverse dimension of the outer zone 11a 1a, so the user can jointly enter said outer zone and the dorsal 1 to open the package. Furthermore, the precut 9a may also extend over a portion of the inner zone 1 1b, especially not until the recess 6 to make reliable the sealing of the edge 4 before opening.
- the package comprises a second pre-cut 9b of tear initiation formed in the second lateral portion 4c, in particular being aligned transversely with the first pre-cut 9a tear initiation.
- this realization allows the consumer to:
