Abstract (en)

The technical field relates to a header for a pouch-type bag, in particular, for a multicompartment pouch-type bag, and a consumer article comprising a header and a multicompartment pouch-type bag. Particular problems present themselves when a header is attached to a bag comprising a refrigerated or frozen food article, for example hydrolysis of the adhesive bond between the header and bag. A solution to the aforementioned problem is provided by a header for a pouch comprising at least two compartments separated by a seal, the header comprising a device from which the said pouch can hang whereby in use at least one of the said compartments hangs to one side of the device and at least another one of the said compartments hangs on an opposing side of the device, wherein the device comprises an upper edge of at least one flap (108, 208 and 308) whereby in use at least one of the said compartments hangs adjacent one side of the flap and at least another one of the said compartments hangs adjacent an opposing side of the flap, and wherein the header additionally comprises opposing first and second side walls (101a, 201a, 301a, 101 b, 201 b and 301 b) and a crease line separating the said side walls wherein the upper edge of the at least one flap (108, 208 and 308) is congruent with the crease line when the header is assembled.
