More Information
Summary:A 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.
