PACKAGING BLANK AND PACKAGE

Abstract

There is described a packaging blank (5) having a multilayer structure for forming a package (2) comprising a fibrous base layer (7), a layer of gas-barrier material (9), a plurality of layers of heat-seal plastic material (8), a hole (15) and a separation membrane (16) covering the hole (15) and comprising a layer of gas-barrier material. The hole (15) extends within a plane being defined by a longitudinal axis (A) and a transversal axis (B) orthogonal to the longitudinal axis (A). An imaginary longitudinal line parallel to the first longitudinal axis (A) and an imaginary transversal line (B) parallel to the transversal axis (B) intersect at a respective center point of the hole (15). A first maximum extension (E1) of the hole (15) along the imaginary longitudinal line is larger than a second maximum extension (E2) of the hole (15) along the imaginary transversal line (B). The first maximum extension (E1) ranges between 20 mm and 28 mm.
