Problems solved by technology

[0012] A disadvantage of this known packaging arrangement is that the tabs can be difficult to grasp and thus require a high degree of dexterity to open the packaging
Another disadvantage is that the tabs are often difficult to locate, making it difficult for the user to easily see how the package is intended to be opened

Abstract

The invention discloses a packaging assembly (10). The packaging assembly (10) comprises a flow-wrapped package (12) containing a product. The wrapper (14) has an opening feature such as a flap (26) or tear strip comprising a portion of the wrapper material that can be preferentially folded outwardly to produce an opening. A tab (36) is attached to the opening feature that can be manually grasped to initiate opening. The tab protrudes from the surface of the wrapper material. The package may have at least two faces, the tab being located at an intersection between two faces (18, 22). The tab (36) may be partially bonded to an underlying portion of the wrapper, the bond strength reducing in a direction from a base of the tab proximal to the opening feature towards a tip portion distal from the opening feature.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to packaging, and in particular (but not exclusively) to food packaging, and more particularly to confectionary product packaging. Background technique [0002] It is known to package products, including edible food products such as chocolate bars and other confectionary or snack-type products, in packages formed from lengths of flexible film-like material. The material has an inner surface and an outer surface, the inner surface facing the food product. In particular, information useful to consumers can be printed on or provided on the outer surface. [0003] One known packaging arrangement, commonly referred to as flow-through wrapping, is produced in a substantially continuous process using flow-through wrapping methods. This method is particularly suitable for wrapping products that are substantially dimensionally stable and capable of being wrapped around them with a film-like material that generally conforms to the...
