Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a box-shaped package assembly having a longitudinal direction and comprising:
  • the inner package which has barrier properties, serves to retain the aroma of the coffee for long period of time until the package is opened.
  • the inner vacuum package unit has, however, a slightly uneven surface structure caused especially by creasing in the inner package during vacuum packaging. This uneven surface structure is considered unappealing by many consumers.
  • the said at least one weakening line extending transversely of the longitudinal direction of the second packaging material provides the least one circumferential weakening line in the outer package's circumferential lateral wall.
  • the at least one transverse weakening line may extend rectilinearly in the width of the entire web. It may, however, also at least in some areas have a non-rectilinear course across the web.
  • the present invention further covers a situation where only one circumferential weakening line is provided, eg. the upper weakening line 25 in Figs. 1 and 2 , or the upper weakening line 125 in Fig. 3 .
  • the outer package 3; 103 is thus opened by applying an upwardly directed force to the area of the outer package's circumferential wall 16; 116 arranged above the weakening line 25; 125, whereby the weakening line is torn and the upper portion of the outer package can be removed.
  • a second web 48 of a flexible packaging material for forming the outer package 3 is wound into a second reel 49.
  • the second web 48 is supplied to the packaging manufacturing machine 42 in the longitudinal direction of the second web, said direction shown by means of the arrow B2.
