Abstract
Description
- This disclosure relates generally to food packages for stacks of food products, and in particular to food packages for stacks of food products contained in an outer wrapper.
- One way to package a stack of food products, such as cookies, crackers and the like, is to surround the stack of food products in a flexible outer wrapper and seal the ends of the wrapper and a longitudinal portion of the wrapper for form a food package. The end seals may be envelope seals, where there are overlapping portions of the wrapper adjacent the ends, with an overlying portion of the wrapper being sealed to an underlying portion of the wrapper. In order to facilitate formation of the end seals, the wrapper may have an inner and/or outer sealant layer configured to seal to an inner and/or outer layer of the wrapper upon the application of heat and pressure against the immediately adjacent food product at each end of the stack.
- The application of heat and pressure to form the end seals can result in varying degrees of end seal strength and extent of the seal. This variance can be dependent in part upon the thickness of the film structure (including inner and outer layers) of the outer wrapper and any irregularities in the surface of the immediately adjacent food product at each end of the stack underlying the end seas, in addition to the heat and pressure applied during sealing. For example, applying pressure and sealing against a more irregular facing surface of the food products can result in variances in the sealing strength and extent of the seal. This can be exacerbated when using a thinner film for the inner or outer layer of the wrapper, as the thinner film may be able to more conform to the irregularities in the surface of the food products, which can result in lesser seal strength and extend where there are depressions in the food product surface and hence a reduced pressure in those areas.
- A food package and method for forming the same are provided, where the food package includes an outer wrapper surrounding a stack of food products and a pair of end backers, one at each end of the stack, are enclosed within the wrapper. The end backers or sealing backers each provide a backing or sealing surface for use in forming the end seals in the outer wrapper. Pressure can be applied against the backers during formation of the end seals and the backers can be configured to form more consistent, such as stronger or seals having a greater extent, but providing a more regular surface as compared to typical underlying food products.
- In one aspect, the food package includes a flexible outer wrapper enclosing a plurality of discrete food items. A pair of end backers can be disposed at opposite ends of the stack of food items. The end backers may have a footprint substantially corresponding to the footprint of the food items. That is, the end backers are between slightly larger and slightly smaller than the food products. The flexible outer wrapper has a longitudinal seal and a pair of end seals. The pair of end seals can be formed between overlapping portions of the outer wrapper immediately adjacent the end backers, with the backers being disposed inside the package.
- In another aspect, a method is provided for forming a food package containing a plurality of discrete food items. The method includes arranging a plurality of discrete food items into a stack and placing a sealing backer at each end of the stack. The stack, including the sealing backers, can then be wrapped in a film. Heat and pressure can be applied at each end of the film and against the adjacent sealing backer to seal the ends of the film to itself to enclose the stack of food products and the sealing backers in the film. Applying the pressure for forming the end seals against the sealing backers, with the film intermediate, can advantageously result in an improved seal when the sealing backers have a more regular surface as compared to the underlying food item.
- One of the end or sealing backers may be configured for use in reclosing the wrapper after opening and removing some of the food items. The one of the end or sealing backers may have a slot or other such shape for receiving and constraining a portion of the wrapper. A user can open an end portion of the flexible outer wrapper adjacent the one of the end backers having the slot, removing one or more of the food items from the wrapper, and then insert a portion of the wrapper into the slot of the one of the end backers to reclose the wrapper.

The envelope seals have an underlying segment and an overlying segment. More specifically, one of theend seals 24 has asegment 28 partially overlying and sealed to anothersegment 26, and the other of theend seals 30 also has asegment 34 partially overlying and sealed to anothersegment 32. In addition to theoverlying segments underlying segments overlying segments wrapper 18. - The sealing
backers foot item 12. That is, the sealingbackers foot items 12, and in particular the immediatelyadjacent food items 12 at each end of the stack. Having the sealingbackers food items 12 can provide for an increased surface area for the pressure to be applied against during the formation of theend seals backers food items 12 can result in sharper, more defined edges where the outer wrapper 18 transitions from the end to the sides of thepackage 10, as well as can provide protection against crumbling of theoutermost foot items 12 at each end of the stack during handling. - In one example, the
food items 12 may be circular and the sealingbackers FIGS. 4A and 4B . However, other sealingbacker foot item 12 shapes can be used, such as rectangular, ovular, triangular and polygonal. - One of the sealing
backers 38 may optionally be configured for use in reclosing thefood package 10 after opening. More specifically, one of the sealingbackers 38, illustrated inFIG. 4A , has a radially-extendingslot 40 and an enlargedcircular opening 42 with a width greater than theslot 40 for receiving thewrapper 18. After opening thewrapper 18 and removing some of thefoot items 12 and the sealingbacker 38, an excess portion of thewrapper 18 that was previously surrounding the removedfood items 12 can be inserted into theslot 40 andopening 42 for retention therein, thereby providing for reclosability of thefood package 10, as depicted inFIG. 6 . Further, the sealingbacker 38 can be used multiple times for reclosing thewrapper 18 as thefood items 12 are removed. One or both of the sealingbackers - To assist in opening of the
package 10, theouter wrapper 18 may include atear tape 20 surrounding the circumference of thepackage 10, as illustrated inFIG. 1 . Thetear tape 20 can assist in initiating the tearing of theouter wrapper 18 to at least partially separate thewrapper 18. Thetear tape 20 may optionally be aligned with a weakened portion of theouter wrapper 18, such as an orientated film with a greater propensity to tear in one direction than another or a score, perforation or other such weakening. A portion of thetear tape 20 can be left exposed to initiate opening of the package. - Turning to details of an example of the
food package 10, thefood package 10 may be configured to hold any number offood items 12. Thefood items 12 may be crackers, biscuits cookies and the like, and fourteen sandwich cookies may be included in thepackage 10. Theouter wrapper 18 may be formed of a multilayer film configured for sealing to itself upon the application of heat and pressure. For example, theouter wrapper 18 may include, moving outward to inward, a clear outer layer, an ink layer having graphics, product information and the like, a metalized film layer that contains a sealant layer applied on its surface. The sealingbackers backers outer wrapper 18 may be selected so that there is a greater propensity for thewrapper 18 to seal to itself as opposed to theunderlying sealing backers backers outer wrapper 18. - In order to form the
food package 10, thefood items 12 can be arranged in astack 14. Arranging thefood items 12 in astack 14 can include feeding a continuous supply offoot items 12 in a large stack and then separating the large stack into thestacks 14 for thepackage 10. Thestack 14 can be placed in one of a sequence of pairs of bars (not shown) extending generally perpendicular to a machine direction and supported at each end by a track extending in the machine direction.
