Abstract
A package for products comprises: at least two flexible adjoined layers configured to provide a cavity extending therebetween for containing a product. The at least two flexible adjoined layers are moveable between: a first closed configuration in which the flexible adjoined layers are sealed around the entire periphery thereof to isolate the cavity from an external environment; and a second open configuration in which the flexible adjoined layers extend in a substantially cone shaped configuration, and in which the base of the substantially cone shaped configuration provides an opening extending into the cavity.
Claims16
A method, comprising:
- providing a pentagonal product package having a substantially truncated rectangular shape with five edges, in which the product package comprises two flexible adjoined layers configured to provide a cavity extending therebetween for containing a product;
- and
- moving the flexible adjoined layers from
- a first closed configuration in which the flexible adjoined layers are sealed around an entire periphery of the product package to isolate the cavity from an external environment into
- a second open configuration in which the flexible adjoined layers extend in a substantially cone shaped configuration defining the cavity therebetween, and in which a base of the substantially cone shaped configuration provides an opening extending into the cavity,
- wherein the two flexible adjoined layers are a front layer and a rear layer,
- wherein the five edges include a first lateral edge, a second lateral edge, a top end, a bottom end, and a cutout edge, and
- wherein the pentagonal product package is made of a single sheet of material having been folded along the first lateral edge to form the front layer and the rear layer, and wherein the cutout edge extends from the second lateral edge to the top end,
- wherein the front layer and the rear layer are connected to one another at the top end by a separable connection, and
- wherein the front layer and the rear layer are connected to one another at the bottom end by an inseparable connection.
A method, comprising:
- providing a pentagonal product package having a substantially truncated rectangular shape with five edges, in which the product package comprises two flexible adjoined layers configured to provide a cavity extending therebetween for containing a product;
- and
- moving the flexible adjoined layers from
- a first closed configuration in which the flexible adjoined layers are sealed around an entire periphery of the product package to isolate the cavity from an external environment into
- a second open configuration in which the flexible adjoined layers extend in a substantially cone shaped configuration defining the cavity therebetween, and in which a base of the substantially cone shaped configuration provides an opening extending into the cavity,
- wherein moving the flexible adjoined layers includes separating a seam along three of the five edges of the pentagonal product
- wherein separating the seam along three of the five edges of the pentagonal product includes separating a portion of the pentagonal product connected by an adhesive.
