Tear-open package

Abstract

The present invention relates to a package ( 10 ) with a package rear side ( 13 ) and a package front side ( 12 ) connected thereto to form a packaging space ( 18 ) surrounded by the package ( 10 ), wherein one side of one of the package rear side ( 13 ) and package front side ( 12 ) has as the tear-open side ( 12 ) a tear-open zone ( 28 ) which has a smaller surface area than the tear-open side ( 12 ), and in the extension plane of the tear-open side ( 12 ) on at least two edges ( 30 or 32, at 36 ) extending in linearly independent directions adjoins packaging material of the tear-open side ( 12 ), and which in the unopened package state is separable by the application of an external force at least in sections to form a package opening ( 42 ) including the packaging space ( 18 ) from the adjoining packaging material of the tear-open side ( 12 ), wherein for this purpose the tear-open side ( 12 ) is formed from film material at least in the tear-open is zone ( 28 ).

         9 . A package according to  claim 8 , characterised in that the grip tab ( 24 ), when the package ( 10 ) is viewed in the plane of the tear-open side ( 12 ), is surrounded on all sides by packaging material of the tear-open side ( 12 ). 
     
     
         10 . A package according to  claim 1 , characterised in that the tear-open zone ( 28 ) extends along a predetermined tear-open path ( 34 ) in a tear-open direction (A) from a tear-open zone start (at  24 ), preferably from the grip tab ( 24 ), to a tear-open zone end. 
     
     
         11 . A package according to  claim 8 , characterised in that a material weakening ( 26 ) created by the formation of the grip tab ( 24 ), in particular piercing ( 26 ), of the tear-open side ( 12 ) is separated from the packaging space ( 18 ), in particular in such a way that the integrity of the enclosure of the packaging space ( 18 ) is not impaired. 
     
     
         12 . A package according to  claim 11 , characterised in that the tear-open side ( 12 ) is detachably connected to the respective other side ( 13 ) of one of package front side ( 12 ) and package rear side ( 13 ) along a detaching zone ( 36 ) which is situated at least in sections between the grip tab ( 24 ) and the packaging space ( 18 ). 
     
     
         13 . A package according to  claim 12 , characterised in that the detaching zone ( 36 ) is situated behind the grip tab ( 24 ) in the tear-open direction (A) and extends at least over the entire width of the tear-open zone ( 28 ).
