Flexible Packaging Having a Lid Fitment and Method for Making the Same

摘要

A flexible package assembly can include a flexible package formed from a flexible material and a lid fitment attached to the package at the opening wall. The flexible package can include a plurality of walls that cooperate to define an interior volume of the package, including first and second opposed side walls and an opening wall. The first and second opposed side walls include first and second tucks, respectively, adjacent to opening wall. The lid fitment can include a base attached to the opening wall and surrounding the opening, first and second projections extending downwardly from opposed sides of the base; and a lid having a complementary shape to a shape of the base. The base is attached to the opening wall such that the first projection extends at least partially into the first tuck and the second projection extends at least partially into the second tuck.

1. A flexible package assembly, comprising,
a flexible package formed from a flexible material, the flexible package comprising:
a plurality of walls that cooperate to define an interior volume of the package, wherein the plurality of walls comprise:
first and second opposed side walls; andan opening wall extending between the first and second opposed side walls and having an opening defined therein, wherein the first and second opposed side walls each comprise first and second tucks, respectively, adjacent to opening wall, the tucks each comprising a portion of the flexible material tucked toward the interior volume; and a lid fitment comprising:
a base attached to the opening wall and surrounding the opening,first and second projections extending downwardly from opposed sides of the base; anda lid having a complementary shape to a shape of the base and movable from a first position in which the lid sealingly engages the base to seal the package and a second position in which the lid is disposed away from the base, exposing the opening,wherein the base is attached to the opening wall such that the first projection extends at least partially into the first tuck and the second projection extends at least partially into the second tuck.
