The invention provides flexible containers with vent systems. Non-durable self-supporting flexible containers having product volumes and structural support frames are provided with vents to facilitate equalization of the pressure inside the product volume to the pressure of the environment outside of the containers. The vents enable rapid recovery of the structural support from a deformed state, which occurs when a fluent product is dispensed, to an undeformed state. For this purpose, the vents comprise vent paths between the environment outside of the containers and the product volume. The vents may further comprise a non-wetting material surrounding the entrance and exit of the vent path and / or microtexturing or a spacer to maintain space for air flow in the vent path.

The invention provides flexible containers having flexible valves. Non-durable self-supporting flexible containers having product volumes and structural support volumes are provided with a valve mechanism to facilitate dispensing fluid product from the product support volume. One or more tension-inducing elements may be used to provide the valves with the ability to permit dispensing of fluid product from the product volume upon application of greater than a minimum threshold but less than a maximum threshold of squeeze force to an exterior of the flexible container. The valve may also be re-closable to prevent fluid product from being dispensed subsequent to use. The flexible container may further be provided with a product sensory experience sampling mechanism to provide for consumer interaction with one or more characteristics of the fluid product contained in the product volume without compromising the integrity of the product volume.

Flexible containers with a flow channel in a sealed leg of a gusset and having product dispensing visibility.

A flexible container (2000) comprises: a multiple dose product volume for a fluent product; a structural support frame including a folded leg of a gusset on a top of the container, wherein the structural support frame supports the product volume in a stand-up orientation; a dispenser (2060) for dispensing fluent product (2051), formed by a tear-open opening in a sealed leg of the gusset in the top of the container; and a flow channel in fluid communication with the product volume and the dispenser. Externally compressing the container allows to dispense the fluent product through the flow channel the dispenser, and the dispenser, in stand-up position of the container, is situated higher than an uppermost portion of the structural support frame.

Non-durable self-supporting flexible containers with easily variable sizing. Line ups of flexible containers have similar sizes, shapes, and constructions, but hold differing amounts of fluent product at unexpected fill heights.

Method of forming flexible containers having gussets, by continuously Z-folding and reverse Z-folding a moving continuous film then continuously V-folding a longer extension of a Z-fold and moving side edges of the web into proximate positions.

A disposable flexible container (#2000 in Fig. 20A), configured for retail sale, wherein the container comprises: a multiple dose product volume (#2050 in Fig. 20A) that directly contains a fluent product, wherein the product volume is made from one or more flexible materials, and wherein the fluent product is hermetically sealed within the product volume; a film structure (#2024-s in Fig. 21A) that includes: a first side with a first outer film laminate (#2024-ofl-l) and a first inner film laminate (#2024-ifl-1); and a second side with a second inner film laminate (#2024-ifl-2) and a second outer film laminate (#2024-ofl-2); a pathway of weakness (#2024-w) that extends across at least a portion of the film structure; an inner unsealed portion (#2024-iup) between the first inner film laminate and the second inner film laminate, disposed along at least a portion of the pathway of weakness; and a removable portion (#2024) disposed adjacent to the pathway of weakness; and wherein, when the removable portion is removed along the pathway of weakness the inner unsealed portion forms a dispenser (#2059) for dispensing the fluent product.

The invention discloses flexible containers with graphics illustrating rigid containers.

The present invention provides flexible containers with flow channels in the sealing legs of the gussets and product dispensing visibility.

Non-durable self-supporting flexible containers with easily variable sizing. Line ups of flexible containers have similar sizes, shapes, and constructions, but hold differing amounts of fluent product at unexpected fill heights.

In a method of making disposable, flexible containers for fluent products, methods of opening the flexible containers are disclosed, including methods of opening multi-layer structures to enable filling of fluent product(s). The methods may include opening a partially complete container blank made of three or more layers by separating a portion of one layer from a portion of another layer by bending portions of all of the layers outward toward a first direction; and then bending portions of at some of the layers outward toward a second direction that is within 20 degrees of opposite to the first direction.

Non-durable self-supporting flexible containers with easily variable sizing are provided. Line ups of flexible containers have similar sizes, shapes, and constructions, but hold differing amounts of fluent product at unexpected fill heights.

The invention provides a method for making a line-up of flexible containers. Non-durable self-supporting flexible containers with easily variable sizing are mentioned. Line ups of flexible containers have similar sizes, shapes, and constructions, but hold differing amounts of fluent product at unexpected fill heights.
