Abstract

A fitment for a liquid containing pouch wherein the fitment is attached to the top portion of the pouch by sealing the top portion of the pouch together and to the sealing portion of the fitment. The fitment having a straw therein and a removeable cap for sealing the liquid in the pouch. The cap can be removed to allow access to the straw and the liquid in the pouch. The cap ban be replaced on the fitment to reseal the pouch. Since the straw is already in the fitment it is easier to use than liquid containing pouches where the straw has to be inserted into the pouch by breaking a seal. Further the straw in the fitment helps prevent spills and injuries associated with straws having to break the seal of the pouch.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to flexible stand-up pouches and, in particular, to accessories for straws and drinking spouts. Background technique [0002] Stand-up pouches can be constructed from a wide range of food-grade materials, including plastic, foil, and laminates of plastic and foil. The attachment and straw are constructed of flexible, food-grade plastic material. The shape of the bags can vary, but they are all sealed on three of the four sides. In all cases the attachment / straw was inserted into the opening at the top of the bag. The attachment and top side are then sealed together to form a liquid-tight container. [0003] There are many stand up bags with external straw attachments on the market. External straws piercing the side of the bag can create a messy and sometimes unsafe situation. Bags that include accessories eliminate the problem of such straws, however, the bag must be tilted or squeezed to drink from the bag. An integ...
