Abstract
A dispenser pouch has outer walls and a divider wall sealed to the outer walls to provide two separate compartments containing product. Each outer wall has a dispensing aperture formed therein communicating with one of the compartments. A closure flap is connected to each of the outer walls and positionable over a dispensing aperture. The invention also encompasses a method for forming the dispensing pouch.
Claims7
A dispenser pouch containing product, said dispenser pouch having opposed, flexible outer walls having peripheral edges joined together defining a closed interior and a divider wall disposed between said outer walls and secured between said peripheral edges dividing said interior into two separate compartments containing product, said outer walls each being formed of a planar, joint-free plastic sheet defining a dispensing aperture communicating with one of said compartments spaced from said peripheral edges and allowing selective manual access to the compartments to dispense product therefrom, and flexible closure flaps secured to said outer walls adjacent to the dispensing apertures defined thereby by a first adhesive applied to a first portion of said flexible closure flaps permanently bonding said flexible closure flaps to the outer walls, and said flexible closure flaps having a second adhesive secured thereto on a second portion thereof, said second adhesive selectively releasably securing said flexible closure flaps over said dispensing apertures, said dispenser pouch having a generally rectangular, four-sided configuration, the outer walls and divider wall being heat sealed together along the edges of all four sides of the dispenser pouch, said outer walls and said divider wall being of multilaminate plastic film construction with at least one of the laminates of each of the outer walls and divider wall comprising polyethylene, said heat seal being formed between polyethylene laminates, said outer walls including a layer of polyethylene bonded to a layer of thermoplastic barrier film, said layer of thermoplastic barrier film being the outermost layer of said outer walls, and said divider wall comprising an inner layer of thermoplastic barrier film sandwiched between layers of polyethylene.
A dispenser pouch containing product, said dispenser pouch having opposed, flexible outer walls having peripheral edges joined together defining a closed interior and a divider wall disposed between said outer walls and secured between said peripheral edges dividing said interior into two separate compartments containing product, said outer walls each being formed of a planar, joint-free plastic sheet defining a dispensing aperture communicating with one of said compartments spaced from said peripheral edges and allowing selective manual access to the compartments to dispense product therefrom, and flexible closure flaps secured to said outer walls adjacent to the dispensing apertures defined thereby by a first adhesive applied to a first portion of said flexible closure flaps permanently bonding said flexible closure flaps to the outer walls, and said flexible closure flaps having a second adhesive secured thereto on a second portion thereof, said second adhesive selectively releasably securing said flexible closure flaps over said dispensing apertures, said divider wall projecting beyond said outer walls at at least one end of said dispenser pouch.
