Abstract
A blank having fold lines that define: a triangular bottom panel, two quadrilateral side panels two triangular top panels, a back panel and a border that has two outer strips to form a sealing backing and two front strips that are arranged so as to form, as an extension from the backing, a sealing tab, a tear line being arranged so that manually pulling on the tab causes the blank to tear from the apex of the bottom panel to the top panel and then on either side of said top panel.
Claims17
A blank for packaging a food portion comprising fold lines allowing the shaping of said blank into a prismatic envelope with a triangular base in which said portion can be packaged before closing said envelope, said fold lines defining a blank having:
- a bottom panel with a triangular geometry intended to form a bottom wall of the envelope
- two side panels of quadrilateral geometry each having an inner edge which is connected by a fold line to a respective large outer side of the bottom panel said side panels being intended to form a respective side wall of the envelope
- two top panels each having a triangular geometry with a large inner edge which is connected by a fold line to a respective outer edge of a side panel said top panels being intended to form together a top wall of the envelope;
- a back panel having an inner edge which is connected by a fold line to a back edge of the bottom side and top panels, said back panel being intended to form a back wall of the envelope
- a border having two outer strips each having an inner edge which is connected by a fold line to a respective large outer edge of a top panel said outer strips being arranged to be sealed to each other to form a sealing backing of the top wall of the envelope
- wherein the border further has two front strips each having a back edge which is connected by a fold line to a front edge of respectively an outer strip and a side panel said front strips having a common inner edge formed by a fold line extending in the extension of the apex of the bottom panel said front strips being arranged to be sealed to each other to form, in the extension of the backing a sealing tab of the tip of the package, and in that the blank comprises a tear line having two side segments which each extend respectively over a top panel and along the outer edge of the adjacent side panel by each being extended by a front segment which extends, in continuity with said side segment and beyond said outer edge, on the adjacent side panel and towards the apex of the bottom panel said tear line being arranged so that manually pulling on the sealing tab causes said blank to tear along its tip from the apex of the bottom panel to the top panel followed by propagation of said tear on either side of the top wall.
