SPOUT FORMING STRIP REMNANT

摘要

A packet for viscous material includes a pouch that comprises an expressing-shaped first closure end and a second closure end and at least two opposing sidewalls. The closure ends and sidewalls define an enclosure. At least one closure end has an expressing shape and a separate rigid foldable flat cradles the pouch. The flat is of a material that is more rigid than the pouch. A spout-forming area separate from the pouch and the rigid foldable flat, is positioned on a rigid foldable flat side of the packet. The area is of intermediate rigidity or thickness to the pouch and the rigid foldable flat. The spout-forming area is derived as a remnant from a semi-rigid material strip that acts as a pouch-forming tacking strip during a pouch forming process. The spout-forming area reinforces at least a part of the pouch at the pouch expressing shape first closure end. The separate rigid foldable flat overlaps the spout-forming area to cradle the spout-forming area with the cradled pouch. A crease extends longitudinally in the flat and along the pouch to facilitate folding or rolling the more rigid flat to compress the pouch with the spout-forming area to express a content through the expressing-shaped first closure end.

1. A packet for viscous material, comprising:
a pouch comprising: an expressing-shaped first closure end and a second closure end and at least two opposing sidewalls; the closure ends and sidewalls defining an enclosure, and at least one closure end comprising an expressing shape; a separate rigid foldable flat cradling the pouch and comprising a material that is more rigid than the pouch; and a spout-forming area separate from the pouch and the rigid foldable flat and positioned on a rigid foldable flat side of the packet and of intermediate rigidity or thickness to the pouch and the rigid foldable flat, wherein the spout-forming area is derived as a remnant from a semi-rigid material strip that acts as a pouch-forming tacking strip during a pouch forming process and wherein the spout-forming area reinforces at least a part of the pouch at the pouch expressing shape first closure end; and wherein the separate rigid foldable flat overlaps the spout-forming area to cradle the spout-forming area with the cradled pouch; and a crease extending longitudinally in the flat and along the pouch to facilitate folding or rolling the more rigid flat to compress the pouch with the spout-forming area to express content through the expressing-shaped first closure end.
