Benefits of technology

The present invention provides flexible packaging containers that are easy to handle, have a compact design, and can be easily removed. These containers also have a logo that is always visible, even during carrying and display. This design improves brand recognition and makes the containers easier to pack for storage, transportation, and display.

Problems solved by technology

It is typically undesirable or not possible to completely fill a flexible packaging container.
Thus, these flexible packaging containers tend to bulge or create variable shaped forms due to the formation of the dispensable product contained therein and the particular orientation at which the flexible packaging container is maintained.
This bulging typically results in the flexible packaging container having rounded corners and sides which are not straight, which in turn results in the flexible packaging containers being more difficult to handle, store and display.
Moreover, the bulging and / or deformation of such flexible packaging containers makes it difficult to stack these flexible packaging containers in stores for retail display and / or shipping.
