Designer Alan D. Olin filed a patent for a re-sealable packet for museli and the like that provides users with long product durability and – above all – more control for dosing. The trick is that the opening, which can be re-sealed with a classic pressure cap, is not located at the upper edge as usual but on the side – a fact that eases pouring substantially. The shape and size of the Easy Pour Bag can be determined individually by manufacturers. By Olin’s account, a size of approx. 40 x 30 cm is ideal.

The newly developed packaging is provided with a unique tamper evident feature that ensures that an already-effective opening is visually recognizable.  The innovation is the additional pre-perforated clamping cam on the fastener. On first opening it detaches and sticks in the fastener in the closure plug. Thus a clearly visible hole is made.
