A package and a method for producing the packages are provided. The packages may comprise an enclosure configured to receive at least one product, the enclosure being sealed from the surrounding environment by two tab areas, one tab area formed at one side of the enclosure and the other tab area formed at the opposite side of the enclosure. The two tab areas are formed by selectively sealing two opposing films, each of the two tab areas comprising at least one breachable bubble configured to be breached upon application of pressure by a user, separating a sealed portion of the two films that form the surrounding tab area, allowing access to the enclosure from either or both sides of the enclosure.

Package with unique opening device and method of producing packages

A package or container is disclosed that includes an opening device in conjunction with a self-sealing valve for facilitating opening of the package and for dispensing fluids in a controlled manner. In one embodiment, the opening device can comprise a breachable bubble. The breachable bubble can be in communication with a fluid channel that operates in conjunction with the self-sealing valve. The package can include a folded portion for sealing the fluid channel and allowing the bubble to be breached when a user applies pressure. Once the bubble is breached, the folded portion can be unfolded for dispensing a fluid.

Easy to open package with controlled dispensing device

A package and method for opening the package are disclosed. The package includes a first film and a second film forming an enclosure and at least one tab area and defining a package periphery, the enclosure defining an interior volume configured to receive a product. The package further includes first and second breachable bubbles formed within first and second tab portions of the at least one tab area. Upon application of pressure by a user, the first and second breachable bubbles breach. The package may be alternated between a first position, wherein the first tab portion and the second tab portion are substantially sealed from each other to facilitate breaching, and a second position, wherein the first tab portion and the second tab portion are in fluid communication with each other.

A rigid holding container has a flexible cover sheet extending over the holding area for sealing the contents. The container has a wide, flat perimeter lip which provides a firm base for the seal between the cover sheet and the container. A breaching bubble is formed in the seal, under the cover and over the perimeter lip. The consumer breaches the bubble by pressing the bubble against the lip between the thumb and forefinger. The pressure compresses the air in the bubble causing the bubble to expand laterally. The expanding bubble breaches along the perimeter of the lip, producing a peel flap of flexible cover material. The consumer pulls the peel flap while holding the rigid container down, to remove the cover sheet.

A container for dispensing various compositions includes a pourable spout located within a breachable bubble. In one embodiment, for instance, the container can be made from flexible polymer films. The container can include a sealed perimeter that defines an opening where a pourable spout is located. A locking bubble can be located over the opening for preventing liquids from being dispensed from the container prior to opening the bubble. When it is desired to dispense the container, the bubble can be breached which therefore allows the contents of the container to be dispensed through the opening.

Pour channel with cohesive closure valve and locking bubble

A package and a process for forming the package are provided. The process may include providing a first flexible polymer film and a second flexible polymer film, sealing the first film and the second film together to form an enclosure and at least one tab area, and trapping fluid within a discrete portion of the tab area to form a breachable bubble. The enclosure may define an interior volume configured to receive a consumer product. Fluid trapped within a discrete portion of the tab area to form a breachable bubble may be sufficient to cause the bubble to breach upon application of minimal pressure by a user, separating a sealed portion of the first film from the second film.

Apparatushas breachable flow conduitfor discharging stored fluidF contained in storage chamberC out to the ambient. Chamber access regionR is positioned proximate perimeterP of the apparatus. The breachable flow conduit is within the access region, and has an inner endC proximate the storage chamber and an outer endP proximate the perimeter of the apparatus. The flow conduit has outer pressed sealP between the outer end of the flow conduit and the perimeter of the apparatus. The flow conduit also has inner pressed sealC between the inner end of the flow conduit and the edge of the storage chamber. The flow conduit expands towards the perimeter of the apparatus under external pressure, typically applied by the consumer. The pressure causes the flow conduit to breach at the perimeter of the apparatus. The flow conduit also expands towards the storage chamber. The pressure causes the flow conduit to breach at the edge of the storage chamber. Breached flow conduitB establishes fluid communication between the storage chamber and the ambient for discharge of the stored fluid.

A package and method for opening the package are disclosed. The method may include applying pressure to at least one tab area of the package. The at least one tab area may include a first tab portion and a second tab portion, the first tab portion and the second tab portion being disposed in a first position substantially sealed from each other. The method may further include breaching a first breachable bubble, the first breachable bubble being formed within the first tab portion, and breaching a second breachable bubble, the second breachable bubble being formed within the second tab portion. Further, the method may include causing the first tab portion and the second tab portion to shift from the first position to a second position in fluid communication with each other.

Breaching access structureS provides easy access to sealed interiorI containing contentsC. Access regionA proximate edgeE of packageprovides entrance into the interior and access to the contents. Band sealformed by upper laminaU and lower laminaL extends along the access region, enclosing breaching bubbleThe band seal has inner seal portionI between the bubble and the interior, and outer seal portionO between the bubble and edgeE of the package. The bubble is expandable to open the package in response to bursting detonatorThe detonator is burst by external pressure applied by a user. Opposed pair of peel flaps, upper flapU and lower flapL, are formed by the opposed laminae of the outer seal along the edge breach as the bubble breaches. These small initial flaps are grasped by the user and manually peeled apart to initiate opening the band seal.

Breachable product containeris formed by first laminaB and opposed second laminaC selectively pressed together. Perimeter sealS extends around the perimeter of the container. Product chamberP and inflatable breaching bubbleare between the selectively pressed opposed laminae, within the perimeter seal. Productis contained within the product chamber. Inner dividerD extends between the product chamber and the breaching bubble. Transfer passagethrough the inner divider permits inflation of the breaching bubble in response to moderate pressure applied to the product chamber during an extended inflation period. Breaching edgeE forms part of the perimeter seal around the breaching bubble. The breaching edge provides an edge breach by separating the opposed laminae along the breaching edge in response to substantial pressure applied to the breaching bubble during a brief breaching period. Opposed peel flapsC andB are formed along the edge breach by the separated opposed laminae. The end-user pulls the peel flaps apart causing detachment of the inner divider for permitting access to the product chamber.

User inflated breachable container, and method

Secure product containerhas opposed closure shellsP andA forming product chamberC. The shells may be separated into an open accessible state (see FIG.A), in which the closure shells are uncaptured and productG is accessible. The closure shells may be placed together in a closed state along closure interfaceC (see FIG.B), in which the closure shells are captured to enclose the product. A closure capture between the closure shells holds the shells in the closed state. Closure capturehas a secured condition (see FIG.B) in which the closure shells are captured together in the closed state, and a released condition (see FIG.A) in which the closure shells may be uncaptured in the accessible state. Capture release deviceon active shellA is pressure responsive for releasing the closure capture from the secured condition into the released condition when pressurized. When depressurized, the release device permits the closure capture to be secure from the released condition into the secured condition. Pressure system(shown in FIG.A) is in fluid communication with the release device for pressurizing the release device to release the closure capture and uncapture the closure shells. The pressure system also depressurizes the release device to permit securing the closure capture and capturing the closure shells.

Systemdelivers specified medication(s)M of a specified dosage in a specified sequence (see FIG.A). Flexible cover laminaC is pressed into selective engagement base laminaB defining a series of sequential storage unitsX andY andZ with frangible sealF (no hatching) and destruct sealD (double hatching). Sealed medication chamberM is proximate the destruct seal within each storage unit. Chamber access regionR is proximate the frangible seal within each storage unit. Diagonal chamber sealS (single hatching) extends across each storage unit. Breachable bubbleB is positioned within each chamber access region and expands under applied pressure towards the frangible seal of the storage unit (see FIGS.A andB). The expansion separates the opposed laminae until the bubble produces perimeter breachP (see FIG.C) in the frangible seal. Flexible peel flapC is formed by the flexible cover lamina along the breached frangible seal as the bubble breaches. The flap is peeled away from the base lamina by the user, parting the chamber seal to open the medication chamber providing access to the medication stored therein.
