Definitions

  • the side of the flange facing the collar is connected in a liquid-tight manner to the inner bag.
  • the flange is preferably located on the inside of the inner surface of the inner bag.
  • the flange-facing side of the collar is, as already indicated, preferably connected to the outer packaging, in particular the lid, so that, from inside to outside, an exemplary layer structure results, starting with the flange, followed by a portion of the inner bag (that is the film of the inner bag), again followed by a portion of the outer package or the lid and finally ending with the collar.
