20080286420 | LOW PRESSURE DOUGH PACKAGING - Described are dough packages that include one or more of a container and an opening, optionally including an open end and an endcap, wherein the package may be vented or non-vented, and may contain dough for storage at refrigerated conditions. | 11-20-2008 |
20090181135 | Dough and dough product packaging configurations - Described are dough products that include a packaged refrigerator-stable, raw, dough compositions, and related methods, including but not limited to dough products that include a package having specific venting, specific opening mechanisms, and other specific package structures. | 07-16-2009 |
20100021591 | DOUGH PRODUCT AND VENTED PACKAGE - Described are dough packages and packaged dough products, wherein the package includes microvents. | 01-28-2010 |
20100307948 | PACKAGING EMPLOYING BOTH SHRINKABLE AND NON-SHRINKABLE FILMS - A product package includes a product receiving cavity formed from a first, heat shrinkable film and a second, non-heat shrinkable film sealed to the first, heat shrinkable film. The second film can be provided with indicia which remains intact following completion of the product packaging. In accordance with a method aspect of the invention, the package is produced utilizing a form, fill and seal system. In one embodiment, a soft, deformable refrigerated dough is packaged. | 12-09-2010 |
20100310732 | PRESSURE PACKAGED DOUGH PRODUCTS - A pliable, sealed package made from one or more flexible films is used to store an uncooked dough product, with the dough product proofing within the sealed package so as to establish and maintain a greater than ambient pressure within the sealed package. In accordance with an aspect of the invention, the overall package is produced utilizing a horizontal form, fill and seal system. The sealed package can be shrunk and/or wrapped to also provide an external force which is essentially transferred to static pressure with the package. | 12-09-2010 |
20100310742 | HFFS PACKAGING METHOD EMPLOYING POSITIVE PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL - A method for packaging products, such as any solid or semi-solid product, utilizes a horizontal form, fill and seal (HFFS) system, coupled with a method for subjecting the packages to positive pressure differential while packaging. In the HFFS system, product receiving cavities are formed in a lower film, with each product being arranged in a respective cavity. The loaded product receiving cavities are positioned in a sealing unit, with an upper film above the product cavities. The sealing unit is closed and a lower chamber of the sealing unit is pressurized to force the lower film against the product, while the product abuts a standoff member, in order to remove existing headspace. After minimizing the headspace, a sealing head seals the upper film to the lower film about the product receiving cavities. Thereafter, the pressure is released, the sealing unit is opened and the package can be further processed. | 12-09-2010 |
20110177214 | LOW PRESSURE DOUGH PACKAGING - Described are dough packages that include one or more of a container and an opening, optionally including an open end and an endcap, wherein the package may be vented or non-vented, and may contain dough for storage at refrigerated conditions. | 07-21-2011 |
20110280998 | COMPARTMENT CONTAINER INCLUDING A SECONDARY RESERVOIR PACKAGE - The present invention relates to a compartment container that includes one or more secondary reservoir package(s). More specifically, the present invention relates to a tubular containers, such as containers made of composite material (e.g. paperboard) with end caps for packaging refrigerated dough products. The tubular containers house one or more reservoir package(s) that are formed from one or more flexible materials (e.g. polymeric films) and are used to retain condiments, fruits, icings, spices, nuts, candies or any other ancillary ingredient(s). | 11-17-2011 |
20120225169 | Developed Dough Product in Moderately-Pressurized Package, and Related Methods - Described are developed, refrigerator-stable, dough compositions in moderately-pressurized packages and related methods, wherein the dough compositions contain chemical leavening agents that include low and high solubility acidic agents and encapsulated basic agent. | 09-06-2012 |
20120258211 | COMPARTMENT CONTAINER INCLUDING A SECONDARY RESERVOIR PACKAGE - The present invention relates to a compartment container that includes one or more secondary reservoir package(s). More specifically, the present invention relates to a tubular containers, such as containers made of composite material (e.g. paperboard) with end caps for packaging refrigerated dough products. The tubular containers house one or more reservoir package(s) that are formed from one or more flexible materials (e.g. polymeric films) and are used to retain condiments, fruits, icings, spices, nuts, candies or any other ancillary ingredient(s). | 10-11-2012 |
20140308408 | REGRIGERATED CHEMICALLY LEAVENED DOUGH IN PRESSURIZED CONTAINER - Described are refrigerator-stable, chemically-leavened dough compositions, packaged dough products, and methods for preparing the same, wherein the dough compositions can be packaged and stored in a pressurized package. | 10-16-2014 |
