Patent ID: 7207719

Claim:
A packaging ( 16 a ), made from a multilayer film laminate material, with a first side, a second side, two longitudinal edges, a first and a second transverse sealed edge ( 17 a ), a longitudinal back seam ( 23 ), formed by overlapping two longitudinal edges of the laminate material, on the second side, and an internal filing cavity ( 21 a ), there are three weakened zones ( 20 a ) with a tear direction as a tear aid, two of the weakened zones ( 20 a ) are each located on and near one of the longitudinal edges of packaging ( 16 a ), near the first transverse sealed edge ( 17 a ) and extending onto the second side and the first side, there being substantial distance between any two adjacent weakened zones ( 20 a ), third weakened zone ( 20 a ) is located on and extends transversely entirely across the longitudinal overlapped back seam ( 23 ) and near the first transverse sealed edge ( 17 a ), each weakened zone ( 20 a ) has a multiplicity of parallel rows of individual uninterrupted line cuts that run in the tear direction and that extend entirely across such weakened zone ( 20 a ), the weakened zones ( 20 a ) can each be located in same or different material of the laminate material, and at least part of each of the weakened zones ( 20 a ) lies in the area of the internal filling cavity ( 21 b ).
