The present invention relates to a scoop () comprising a bowl () and a handle connected to the bowl () and comprising a clip (). The clip () can be used for re-closing a bag containing a product to be dosed by the bowl (). The clip () is delimited by a free edge (), and there is a gap () between the free edge () of the clip () and handle edges () of regions of the handle () surrounding the clip (). At least a part of the clip edge () and at least a part of the handle edges () delimiting the gap () are provided with teeth () in the form of teeth-shaped protrusions. The teeth () at the clip edge () and the teeth () at a proximate handle edge (), respectively, are arranged at alternating positions along a longitudinal extension of the gap ().

Clip-scoop with anti-slipping functionality

The present invention relates to a container () comprising a bottom panel (), a front panel (), two side panels (), a rear panel (), and a top panel (). The front panel () and the two side panels () each comprises a perforation line () so that a hingedly connected lid () is obtained when the perforation lines () are broken. The perforation line () in the front panel () is a row of perforations () arranged along a line or curve which forms an edge () of the lid () after the perforations () have been broken. Each of the perforation lines () in the side panels () is a row of perforations () each comprising two coherent first and second cuts () with a blunt angle (&#x3b1;) there between. These perforations () are arranged to provide a row of tooth-shaped regions (), where each tooth-shaped region () is delimited by a first cut () and a second cut (), respectively, from two mutually adjacent but non-coherent perforations (). The first cuts () are arranged parallel to each other but staggered so that they are not arranged along one line.

Flip-top container with tooth-shaped side perforations

The invention relates to a container () comprising a main part and a lid ()which is rotationally moveable around a folding line () in a rear panel () of the container (). Parallel and spaced apart transverse cuts () are provided at or near a central part of the folding line (), the transverse cuts () extending substantially symmetrically across and perpendicular to the folding line. An end cut () may be arranged near but at a distance from each end of the folding line (), the end cuts () going through the thickness of the rear panel (), and the folding line () being perforated between the end cuts () and the end of the folding line () adjacent to the side panels (). The end cuts () may be in the form of two linear and coherent sub-cuts arranged non-perpendicular to the folding line ().

Flip-top container with improved resistance against breakage at the hinge connection

The present invention relates to a blank for a flip-top container and a method for producing a blank for a flip-top container and a method of producing a flip-top container from a blank. A blank according to the present invention may preferably comprise a section for an outer body part and a section for an inner frame. The section of the blank for the outer body comprises two side panels, a front panel and a rear panel. Each side panel is typically connected to the front panel at opposite vertical folding lines; the rear panel is typically connected to one of the side panels along a vertical folding line. A scoring line is provided in the side panels and in the front panel; the scoring line extends downwardly sloping in the side panels towards front panel and extends horizontally in at least a part of the front panel. Each of the side panels, front panel and rear panel has a flap connected at an upper and at a lower horizontal folding line of the panel. Further, the section of the blank for the inner frame comprising two inner side parts and an inner front part, wherein each inner side parts is connected to the inner front part at opposite vertical folding lines, and the inner front part comprising a flap connected at an upper horizontal folding line, said flap comprising a scoring line defining a flap part above the scoring line.

Blank for a reclosable container

The present invention relates to a reclosable container comprising a bottom panel, a front panel, two side panels, a rear panel and a top panel. The front panel and the two side panels having a division line extending downwardly sloping from the rear panel in the side panels and horizontally in at least a part of the front panel thereby defining a lid. The lid comprises the top panel and the sections of the front panel and side panels above the division line, and the lid is moveable by rotation along a folding line in the rear panel between a closing position, where the lid closes the container, and a position where an open end of the container is not covered by the lid. The container further comprises an inner side part and an inner front part extending above the division line. Each inner side part has an upper margin sloping downwardly towards the rear panel The inner front part comprises a flap extending downwardly from an upper margin of the inner front part.
