- the film formation on the packaging material by means of the film-forming compositions can also be carried out using chemically drying paints.
- the chemically dried paints contain cross-linked macromolecules, which are obtained by chemical reaction and in particular by polymerisation.
- the film-forming compositions can also be films, in particular low tear strength or high brittleness.
- the thicknesses of the foils can e.g. from 5 to 20 ⁇ m.
- Preferred films can contain polyolefins, such as polyethylenes or polypropylenes, polyesters or polyamides.
- the foils can be attached to the packaging material, on the outside of a bag or on the inward-facing side or on both sides, the adhesion of the foil or foils to the packaging material by means of laminating adhesive and / or adhesion promoters, if appropriate with additional use of corona, flame, plasma or ozone treatment.
- the film can have sealing properties, in particular when used on the side pointing inwards on the bag. The film then simultaneously represents a sealing layer.
- the film can also be arranged on the packaging material as a further film-forming mass above the printing varnish.
- film-forming compounds are applied to the outside and the inside of the packaging material, these can be the same or different.
- the materials of the film-forming compositions are expediently physiologically harmless and approved for food packaging.
- sealing waxes e.g. from polyolefins, such as polyethylenes, which are applied to the printing ink.
- the film-forming composition is preferably on the side facing outward on the bag.
- the film-forming composition can also be applied to the side facing inwards on the bag. It can e.g. is the ink of a counterprint.
- a further film-forming compound in the form of a sealing wax can be arranged on the printing ink of the reverse printing.
- the packaging material can also have a layer of a film-forming mass, e.g. a printing varnish, and contain a sealing wax on the inside of the bag.
- the present invention also relates to a method for producing a bag according to the present invention.
- the method can advantageously be carried out in such a way that a weakening is applied to the flexible packaging material and the weakening is then covered by at least one film-forming compound.
- the above-mentioned lacquers, printing inks, extrusion layers, hot-melt compositions and etc. can be used as film-forming compositions.
- it is liquid or melted paint systems.
- the film-forming compositions can be applied, for example, by centrifuging, spinning, flooding, pouring, rolling, spraying, brushing, printing, extruding, etc.
- the flexible packaging materials are continuous material, which is why coating processes such as extrusion, spraying, rolling, printing or casting are particularly suitable.

- the flexible packaging material is fed into a printing press, for example into a high-pressure, gravure, offset printing and in particular flexographic printing press.
- printing machines are front printing units, multi-cylinder, single-cylinder, in-line, flexo and vario printing machines or combinations thereof, such as flexo and gravure printing machines.
- the weakening is expediently applied to the flexible packaging material by a cutting mechanism, advantageously in the area of the printing cylinder, before the start of printing, or in the case of multi-cylinder machines in the area of the first printing cylinder.
- the flexible Provide the packaging material with the intended print, whereby the weakening is also overprinted and the printing varnish closes the weakening.
- the printing varnish is carried out, for example, in such a way that the total thickness of the printing varnish is greater in the area of the weakening than in the remaining area of the flexible packaging material.
- the printing processes can be carried out with dimensional accuracy and, in addition to a clean print image, the weakening and the area around the weakening can in particular be precisely affected by the printing varnish.
- Existing bags made of flexible packaging material can be used to pack food in powdery to solid consistency.
- a preferred use is in the packaging of bars made of chocolate, starchy foods, fatty foods, or food preparations in the form of mixtures of chocolate with starch and / or fatty foods, all food preparations advantageously in the form of bars.
- the packaging of chocolate bars and the like is preferred, since in the case of the tearing process the chocolate bar serves as a repository for tearing open the bag.
- the bags are produced from tubular material, the bags each have a transverse seam seal at the end or, if the bags are produced from flat material, the bags have a longitudinal seam seal and a transverse seam seal at the end.
- the seams can be sealed by cold sealing, heat sealing or by gluing.
- the weakening is advantageously in one of the two end regions of the bag, i.e. approx. 10-30 mm from the end of the bag, which is finished with a cross seal.
- Tubular bags with a longitudinal seam seal and terminal transverse seam seals are particularly preferred. If the bag is torn open along the weakening, the tear continues up to a maximum of the entire circumference of the bag, although the longitudinal seam sealing prevents tearing. The kinked end piece of the bag remains attached to the longitudinal seam and the longitudinal seam seal. The contents of the bag can now be easily pushed out or consumed directly from the packaging, the broken piece of bag remaining connected to the remaining bag via the longitudinal seam and not forming a piece of bag to be disposed of individually or falling onto the floor.

- the packaging material 10 which is already provided with the weakenings and, for example, a varnish over the weakenings in the form of a multi-color print, is unwound from a supply roll and fed to the packaging process.
- the arrow 11 indicates the filling material insertion and the longitudinal seam sealing 12 and the transverse seam sealing 13 are carried out continuously with the filling material insertion, a packing unit 14 being created in each case.
- a cutting device 15 divides the material into tubular bags 16 with the transverse seams 17 and the longitudinal seam 19.
- the tubular bag 16 is shown in FIG.
- the longitudinal seam 19 is located on the back and the tubular bag 16 is closed at both ends with transverse seams 17.
- the dot-dash line 18 indicates the weakening, which is located in the region of one end of the tubular bag 16 and is covered, for example, with a printing varnish.
- FIGS. 3 and 4 show a further tubular bag 16 with the transverse seams 17 at both ends and the longitudinal seam 19.
- the weakening 18 which is located under the print pattern produced by means of printing varnish, is shown in broken lines. If the pack is stressed, for example by gripping the pack at the transverse seams 17 and pulling it apart, the pack separates along the weakening 18 and pulling and, for example, simultaneous folding, tears the film material further, generally along a tear line 20, which is shown in dotted lines in FIG. 3.
- the tear line 20 ends at the longitudinal seam 19, since there is a material accumulation or. Material thickening has arisen due to the folding and sealing.
- the tubular bag 16 is thus opened along its circumference, except for the area of the longitudinal seam 19, and the contents can be easily removed, for example by pushing it out from the end.
- the two parts of the tubular bag 16 hold together with the longitudinal seam 19 and can then be disposed of together.
- Figure 5 shows the tubular bag 16 with the transverse seams 17 and the longitudinal seam 19 in a torn shape.
- the kinked bag part 27 is connected to the rest of the tubular bag 16 via the packaging material of the longitudinal seam 19.
- the tearing took place along the weakening 18 and continued over the tear line 20 to the longitudinal seam 19.
- the content 26, e.g. a chocolate bar, the tubular bag 16 can now be easily removed or consumed directly from the package.
- FIG. 6 shows a section through the packaging material 10 in the area of the weakening 18.
- the weakening 18 was carried out, for example, on a plastic film 21 and the weakening 18 represents a severing of the plastic film.
- the plastic film 21 is on the side facing outward on the bag a multi-layer, usually multi-colored, print with the printing varnishes 23, 24 and 25 attached.
- an additional layer of a printing varnish 24 was applied in the area of the weakening 18, as a result of which the total thickness of the printing varnish layer increased compared to the rest of the packaging material 10 and the weakening was securely covered, sealed and the packaging material 10 was given a tensile strength again.
- the packaging material 10 can be provided with a sealing layer 22, in particular a sealing wax, on the side facing inwards on the bag. Sealing varnish 22 is used primarily for later sealing of the seams, but can support the effect of printing varnish 23, 24, 25.
