Package Having a Tear Initiation For Forming an Opening

A package comprising a tear initiation for forming an opening wherein the tear initiation extends from a first location on a first panel of the package to a corner edge being in common with the first panel and a second panel of the package, the tear initiation further extending a first distance along the corner edge, from the corner edge to the second panel and back from the second panel to the corner edge, a second distance along the corner edge, and from the corner edge to a second location on the first panel, the tear initiation defining a first portion of the opening on the first panel and a second portion of the opening on the second panel,

• wherein the first portion has a first extension along the corner edge and the second portion has a second extension along the corner edge, the first extension being greater than the second extension,
• wherein the package is formed such that at the corner edge the first panel has a convex curvature outwardly of the package and at the corner edge the second panel has a concave curvature inwardly of the package,
• wherein a first inclined fold line extends from the tear initiation defining the second portion to the corner edge, and wherein a second inclined fold line, on the opposite side of the second portion, extends from the tear line defining the second portion to the corner edge, whereby two flap portions are defined and each being located on mutually opposing sides of the second portion on the second panel in conjunction with the corner edge.
