Abstract

A method for producing a tightly sealed bag packaging and to a tightly sealed bag packaging having at least one perforation and a receiving area surrounded by a plate-shaped edge region for the inert packaging of a product containing active ingredients, wherein the bag packaging comprises cover films or cover film segments bounding the receiving area and forming the edge region. The cover films or cover film segments are each provided with a channel system having at least one channel. The channel system crosses the part of the cover film or the cover film segment covering the receiving area. At one end, each channel is provided with a branching into two channel branches, Furthermore, a slit is arranged between the two channel branches, interrupting a peripheral edge of the bag packaging.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A hermetically sealed bag packaging ( 10 ) comprising:
at least one perforation ( 19 ) and having a receiving region ( 12 ) which is surrounded by a plate-shaped edge region ( 11 ) in inert packaging arrangement with a product ( 5 ) containing active substances, the receiving region ( 12 ) is rectangular and has an edge ( 25 ), the receiving region ( 12 ) includes a strip ( 13 ) which surrounds the product ( 5 ) containing active substances,
two cover films ( 41 , 61 ) or a single cover film having two folded cover film portions which define the receiving region ( 12 ) and form the plate-shaped edge region ( 11 ),
the two cover films ( 41 , 61 ) or the cover film portions comprise in each case a channel system ( 56 , 76 ) having at least one channel ( 45 ; 65 ), the channel system ( 56 ; 76 ) crosses the part of each of the two cover films ( 41 ; 61 ) or the cover film portion that covers the receiving region ( 12 ), the at least one channel ( 45 , 65 ) extending in the direction of the product ( 5 ) containing the active substances parallel with and offset to the edge ( 25 ) of the rectangular receiving region ( 12 ),
each of the at least one channel ( 45 , 65 ) comprises a branching ( 44 , 64 ) into two channel branches ( 42 , 43 ; 62 , 63 ) on one end thereof and an end point ( 51 ) on or proximate a peripheral edge ( 26 ) at the other end thereof, the at least one channel ( 45 , 65 ) between the end point ( 51 ) and the branching ( 44 , 64 ) is a monotone curve with the curve covering a sector angle between 85 to 90 degrees and an incision ( 23 ) for interrupting a peripheral edge ( 24 ) of the bag packaging ( 10 ) is operatively arranged between two channel branches ( 42 , 43 ; 62 , 63 ) in the plate-shaped edge region ( 11 ), each of the channel branches ( 42 , 43 ; 62 , 63 ) are on the side of the incision ( 23 ), the channel branches ( 42 , 43 ; 62 , 63 ) are in symmetrical arrangement with respect to the incision ( 23 ), the channel branches ( 42 , 43 ; 62 , 63 ) are at a predetermined spacing from the peripheral edge ( 24 ) of the bag packaging ( 10 ) proximate the incision ( 23 ).

2. The hermetically sealed bag packaging ( 10 ) as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that each of the at least one channel ( 45 ; 65 ) is free of interruptions.

3. The hermetically sealed bag packaging ( 10 ) as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the two channel systems ( 56 ; 76 ) are arranged so as to be congruent with respect to one another.

4. The hermetically sealed bag packaging ( 10 ) as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that each channel system ( 56 , 76 ) contacts a maximum of one peripheral edge ( 26 ).

5. The hermetically sealed bag packaging ( 10 ) as claimed in claim 4 , characterized in that the peripheral edge ( 26 ) contacted by at least one of the channels ( 45 ; 65 ) is remote from the incision ( 23 ).

6. The hermetically sealed bag packaging ( 10 ) as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the channel systems ( 56 , 76 ) cross the receiving region ( 12 ) in a segment, the opening angle of which is between 75 degrees and 90 degrees.

7. The hermetically sealed bag packaging ( 10 ) as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that said bag packaging bears a marking ( 22 ) in the edge region ( 11 ) which bears a perforation ( 19 ) outside the at least one channel ( 45 ; 65 ).

8. The hermetically sealed bag packaging ( 10 ) as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the depth of the at least one channel ( 45 ; 65 ) is a maximum of 90% of the thickness of one of the two cover films ( 41 ; 61 ) or of a cover film portion.

9. The hermetically sealed bag packaging ( 10 ) as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the individual channel ( 45 ; 65 ) comprises an extensively U-shaped cross section.

10. The hermetically sealed bag packaging ( 10 ) as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the individual cover film ( 41 ; 61 ) or the individual cover film portion is constructed with several layers with an internal closed metal layer.

11. The bag packaging ( 10 ) as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the receiving region ( 12 ) is formed as an approximate rectangle.

12. The bag packaging ( 10 ) as claimed in claim 11 , characterized in that the at least one channel ( 45 , 65 ) covers a segment along the edge ( 25 ) of the receiving region ( 12 ) of 90 degrees.

13. The bag packaging ( 10 ) as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the at least one of the at least one channel ( 45 , 65 ) and the channel branches ( 42 , 43 ; 62 , 63 ) are arranged on an inside surface ( 49 , 69 ) of the cover films ( 41 , 61 ).

14. The bag packaging ( 10 ) as claimed in claim 13 , characterized in that the at least one channel ( 45 , 65 ) of one cover film ( 41 , 61 ) operatively arranged in an inside surface ( 49 , 69 ) of the one cover film ( 41 , 61 ) and the other at least one channel ( 65 , 45 ) of the other cover film ( 61 , 41 ) operatively arranged in an outside surface ( 48 , 68 ) of the other cover film ( 61 , 41 ).

15. The bag packaging ( 10 ) as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that one or both of the channel branches ( 42 , 43 ; 62 , 63 ) operatively arranged in a surface ( 48 , 49 ) other than the channel ( 45 , 65 ).
