Abstract

A flow-wrapped package (14) is made of a length of flexible material (16). The package is closed by means of a longitudinal seal along one face and transverse end seals (20, 22) formed using a cold seal adhesive. One of the end seals (20) has an aperture (24) for suspending the package for display purposes. The end seal (20) with the aperture (24) may be embossed and/or it may have a greater depth (D) than the other end seal (22), at least over a region in which the aperture is formed. The longitudinal seal (118, FIG. 3) is a fin seal which 26 may be folded to overlay the display aperture (124, FIG. 2) and may have an aperture (124A, FIG. 3) corresponding to and aligned with the display aperture (124, FIG. 2) in the end seal. The display aperture (224, FIG. 4) may be positioned laterally off-centre so that the package hangs at an angle.
