Definitions

  • This invention relates to a packaging container.
  • Packaging containers are well known.
  • One type of packaging container is a flexible pouch or sachet, typically of a plastics film material such as polypropylene, polyethylene, or laminates/coextruded comprising PE PP, PET, aluminium.
  • a plastics film material such as polypropylene, polyethylene, or laminates/coextruded comprising PE PP, PET, aluminium.
  • a packaging container for powder or granular material having a perforated portion with a seal which is used for a container for storage, capable of discharging its contents of the required quantity at a required time, wherein the seal may be replaceable sealed against the perforated portion.
  • the container of the invention is particularly advantageous in many areas. Firstly facile container contents discharge is attained (over multiple discharge operations—with convenient closure/storage between discharges) with no need to regulate the opening/inclination of the container (as required for prior embodiments). Additionally enhanced dispensing of powders may be achieved, even with powders which normally tend to agglomerate, such as moistened/sticky powders.
  • the seal is in the form of a flap.
  • the flap has strong seal to body of the container on a side.
  • the flap has a weak seal/no seal to the body of the container on the remaining sides.
  • the flap is hingedly attached to the body of the container.
  • a plurality of flaps may be present, each serving a portion of the perforated portion.
  • the difference strengths of the seals may be achieved in a number of ways.
  • One preferred execution is by differential welding conditions (e.g. through thermal/ultrasonic welding) wherein the strong seal is welded so as to be more strong than the weak seal/no seal.
  • the strong seal may comprise a different material to that of the weak seal.
  • the strong seal of the flap is disposed on the body (preferably of a size) such that for a user to close the flap after use the perforated portion must be arranged so that it is facing upwards. It has been found that this enables most effective sealing of the perforated portion.
  • the seal has replaceable cover portions.
  • the replaceable cover portions comprise PE (or PP, or Teflon) coated paper.
  • the perforations comprise simple geometric holes/apertures.
  • the perforations in the perforated portion have a size of from 0.3 to 3 mm.
  • the perforations may be in any conventional shape such as circular, rectangular or star-shaped.
  • the perforations may comprise “hinged apertures”.
  • a geometric shape is partially excised from the perforated portion.
  • the geometric shape comprises a circle.
  • a portion of the circle remains to serve as a hinge. More preferably multiple portions (e.g. 2 separate portions) of the circle remain to serves as hinges.
  • the hinged perforations preferably have a size of 10-20 mm, e.g. about 15 mm.
  • the container has a handle for use by a consumer.
  • the handle is arranged such that it is opposite to perforated portion. In this way discharge of the contents of the container is not fouled by the handle or by a hand of a user.
  • the container is used for the discharge of a granular/powder formulation onto a surface.
  • a packaging container having a perforated portion with a sealing film wherein the sealing film may be replaceable sealed against the perforated portion, the container holding powder or granular material, in the discharging of the container's contents onto a surface.
  • the container is for a carpet cleaning formulation and for use in dispensing same onto a carpet surface.
  • the composition is preferably granular.
  • the composition may be moistened.
  • Container is made in a process wherein sheets of material are shaped and welded to form a container.
  • the process may comprise the following steps:—
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 are plan views of the underside of a product in accordance with the invention.
  • FIG. 3 is a side view of a product in accordance with the invention.
  • the container 1 comprises sections of film material, sealed together to form a cuboid 2 with indented sides 3 which extends into a wedge portion 4 for retaining a granular composition.
  • the wedge portion 4 terminates in a handle 5 for use by a consumer.
  • the cuboid portion 2 has a base 6 , which is perforated (perforations shown as 6 a ).
  • Each seal 7 is welded/glued adjacent to the base 6 of the container 1 along at least a portion of one of the long sides of the rectangular seal 7 and thus each seal 7 is hingedly mounted adjacent to the base 6 of the container 1 .
  • seals 7 are sealed against the perforated base 6 .
  • one or both of the seals 7 is (partially) peeled away from the perforated base 6 such that the perforations 6 a are unobstructed.
  • a user can hold the container 1 by the handle 5 and by shaking the container 1 can release the contents of the container through the perforations 6 a.
  • the seal 7 is moved such that it abuts against the perforated base 6 .
  • a replaceable cover portion 8 is removed from the seal 7 to improve its adherence to the perforated base 6 .
