<p>SKIN-PACKAGED POUCHES OF THE RETORT OR LIKE TYPE A skin-packaged pouch of the retort or like type which includes a planar subtrate or card having the pouch immobilized on a medial body portion of the substrate by means of a plastic film laminated to the substrate overlying and surrounding the pouch to form the skin-packaged pouch. The pouch is immobilized on the substrate with portions of the substrate extending on all sides beyond the marginal edges of the pouch. In this manner, the normally fragile and frangible pouches with their lading can be efficiently handled, loaded for shipment in shipping cartons and stacked in such shipping cartons without: damaging, adversely flexing or rupturing the seal of the pouch during transport thereof. Modified embodiments of the invention include a plurality of like skin-packaged pouches interconnected in elongated strip assemblies in which the individual pouches are separated by fold or score lines in the substrate which enable selective folding of the elongated strip assemblies for convenient, efficient and effective storage in shipping cartons with the individual pouches adequately protected against damage and inadvertent rupture of the seal thereof. Individual skin-packaged pouches can be severed from the strip assembly, as needed. Another modified embodiment includes the substrate card having scored or folded extensions advantageously located to overly the individual pouch to further restrain and/or support the same.</p> |
