Abstract (en)

A package for packing a generally block shaped product (3) comprises a generally rectangular sheet (1) of a flexible, foldable packaging material provided with an inner surface of a sealable coating. The sheet includes a central body portion (2) for enclosing the block shaped product and opposite side portions (6, 7) and opposite end portions (8, 9) adjacent to the central body portion and forming a frame shaped portion (5) surrounding the central body portion (2). A flap portion (10, 11) of each of the side portions is folded inwardly and sealed inner face to inner face to form tabs (14, 15). The sheet is folded around the product such that the body portion encloses the block shaped product with the inner surface facing the product. The inner surface of one of the side portions (6) abuts the inner surface of the other side portion (7), the side portions being mutually sealed by means of a longitudinal seal (18). The inner surface of each of the end portions (8, 9) abuts itself, each of the end portions being sealed by means of an end seal (19, 20). The central body portion (2) enclosing the product is without the sealable coating, and the frame shaped portion (5) surrounding the central body portion is provided with a sealable coating of a cold sealable and pealable composition preferably extending up to the very edges of the sheet.
