Benefits of technology

The invention is a skin pack that has a base and a top film that is sealed to the base in a way that allows the top film to be easily opened without needing any tools. The design of the sealing region allows for easy detachment of the top film from the base. Additionally, the invention allows for easy replacement of the sealing tool lower part to accommodate different shapes of bases. This allows for flexibility in packaging different products using the same sealing equipment.

Problems solved by technology

However, the firm connection between the base and the top film also makes it difficult for a consumer to open the pack in order to remove the product.

Abstract

A packaging known as a skin pack comprising a base and a top film surrounding a product. The top film may be a skin film and the base and the top film may be sealed together in a gas-tight manner along a circumferential sealing region. The base and the top film may extend in one or more edge regions outside the sealing region. In one embodiment, this extension creates an area of overlap outside the sealing region wherein the top film and the base are not sealed together, which may form a tear-open corner. The base may have a deformation or may be formed along an edge or at a corner so as to facilitate gripping the top film by a user.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This Application claims priority to European Patent Application No. 18 177 051.2 filed on Jun. 11, 2018 to Stefan Löffler and Harald Gehrke, currently pending, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention refers to a skin pack with a tear-open corner and to a method and a sealing station for manufacturing such a skin pack.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Vacuum packaging, packaging in which air inside of the package is largely exhausted, is often used to pack food products in order to extend their shelf life. A further development is the so-called skin pack, in which an elastic top film, the skin film, is placed tension-free and close fitting over a base and a product positioned thereon. The base can also be in the form of a tray into which the product is inserted. The base and the top film are gas-tightly connected to each other after the packaging process, the seali...
