SELF-STANDING PACKAGE AND METHOD FOR MAKING THE SAME

摘要

A flexible self-standing package and method for making the same provides for a package that has its own support mechanism. Thereby, a package (50/70), such as a snack food package, can be displayed in an upright position without the need to be placed against another package or wall. To achieve this, the package is formed with a support flap (58/78) formed extended away from the tube of the package. When the package is positioned to stand, a pocket forms between the support flap and tube of the package to provide support.
