Packaging

Abstract

Packaging made of a sealable packaging material has a front wall and a rear wall which are directly or indirectly joined to one another; a removal opening extends from and/or is located at an edge of the packaging. An additional material may be disposed between the layers of packaging material, wherein this additional material can be configured as strips and/or can take up the entire width of the removal opening

1 . A packaging composed of a sealable packaging material, having a front wall and a rear wall, which are directly or indirectly connected with one another, wherein a removal opening is provided, wherein the removal opening proceeds from an edge of the packaging and/or is provided at an edge of the packaging. 
     
     
         2 . The packaging according to  claim 1 , wherein an additional material is disposed between the layers of packaging material, wherein this additional material can be configured as strips and/or can take up the entire width of the removal opening. 
     
     
         3 . The packaging according to  claim 2 , wherein the additional material comprises a peelable material, which can be formed in a multi-layer composite composed of at least two outer layers and an inner layer, wherein then, the inner layer is the peelable material. 
     
     
         4 . The packaging according to  claim 2 , wherein the additional material comprises a resealable material, which can be formed in a multi-layer composite composed of at least two outer layers and an inner layer, wherein then, the inner layer is the resealable material. 
     
     
         5 . The packaging according to  claim 4 , wherein the resealable material is a pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA). 
     
     
         6 . The packaging according to  claim 2 , wherein the peelable and/or resealable material is structured in such a manner that upon first being opened, a change in color, a pattern, a structure, a text or the like becomes visible; and wherein the additional material is disposed along or transversely to the machine direction. 
     
     
         7 . The packaging according to  claim 2 , wherein the additional material, i.e. a peelable and/or resealable material, which is arranged in a multi-layer composite, demonstrates a change in color upon sealing, wherein the change in color can be configured as an area or pattern, and wherein the at least one of the respective outer lavers of the additional material is specifically adapted to the packaging material that follows it. 
     
     
         8 . The packaging according to  claim 2 , wherein the additional material has a reduced opening force, wherein a material weakening can be provided, by means of which the opening force is reduced, and wherein the packaging material has one or multiple layers. 
     
     
         9 . The packaging according to  claims 2 , wherein the additional material has an embossing, fillers, additives, varnishes or some other characteristic that is structured three-dimensionally in tactile and/or optical manner; and wherein the packaging is configured as modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) or vacuum packaging. 
     
     
         10 . The packaging according to  claim 2 , wherein the additional material is disposed between the packaging material layers and sealed to them; and wherein the packaging is configured as deep-drawn packaging or shrink-wrap packaging. 
     
     
         11 . The packaging according to  claim 1 , wherein a sealing seam is provided to connect two layers of the packaging material and of the additional material; and wherein the packaging material and/or the additional material contain(s) PE, PP, PET, ionomers, Surlyn, PLA, polyester, or mixtures and/or blends of these in at least one layer, in each instance. 
     
     
         12 . The packaging according to  claim 11 , wherein the outer edge of the sealing seam, in the tear-open direction, has a structuring, wherein the structuring can be introduced in advance or is provided during sealing, and wherein a barrier layer is provided in the packaging material and/or in the additional material, wherein then the additional material can be configured to have at least four layers. 
     
     
         13 . The packaging according to  claim 11 , wherein at least the outer edge of the sealing seam, in the tear-open direction, is structured geometrically and thereby forms a tear-open aid; and wherein the additional material is tacked onto at least one wall of the packaging material. 
     
     
         14 . The packaging according to  claim 13 , wherein sealing points or an at least interrupted further sealing seam lie ahead of the sealing seam in the opening direction; and wherein the additional material is tacked on by means of pressing it on in the warm state or by lightly sealing it on. 
     
     
         15 . The packaging according to  claim 11 , wherein the sealing seam or the sealing seams is/are provided with spikes, points or other projecting features; and wherein a label is provided as an additional tamper-evident closure. 
     
     
         16 . The packaging according to  claim 11 , wherein the sealing seam is delimited, at the beginning and/or the end, by means of a firm sealing seam that cannot be opened; and wherein the packaging material has a reduced thickness. 
     
     
         17 . The packaging according to  claim 1 , wherein a gripping surface or gripping tab is provided and wherein the additional material has a symmetrical or asymmetrical structure. 
     
     
         18 . The packaging according to  claim 17 , wherein the gripping surface and/or the gripping tab is/are structured, embossed and/or provided with a soft-touch effect, wherein a TPE, TPU or PA material can be used for the soft-touch effect and/or wherein imprints or addition of additives can be used for the soft-touch effect. 
     
     
         19 . The packaging according to  claim 1 , wherein the packaging is formed by a tubular bag, and either an end seam and/or the longitudinal seam is/are provided with the additional material. 
     
     
         20 . The packaging according to  claim 1 , wherein the removal opening is disposed in a wall of the packaging and covered by packaging material, wherein the additional material is provided between the covering material and the wall, at least in certain sections.
