Calvary, thanks for the information. About the company Marsonn and their Volpak 240. I just reread the article and it doesn't sound as if they had anything to do with TCBG. Marsonn worked with another company called Curwood that has a patented Integraperf film technology that made the tear to expose the built in straw work everytime. The pouch that they are describing sounds just like the rip it sip it pouch. The end package is a drink pouch concept able to deliver for a variety of single serve beverage products. Working with Curwood Packaging (Georgetown, Ont.) in its development of proprietary film tearing technology, has furthered the straw-in drink pouch concept as a consumer-friendly package. "The opening of the pouch to expose the tip of the straw originally appeared to be an issue in the final use of the beverage package," says Tocher. "In putting the straw directly within the package, we had already achieved a coup in end-use convenience. However, we needed the corner tear opening of the package work consistently." Curwood then came on the scene with its patented Integraperf film technology for a directional tear. In opening the pouch, a vertical tear notch located on top corner permits to initiation of the downward tear. At a specified location, the Integraperf intercepts the vertical tear sending the directional force horizontally to complete the opening. You are right that this article was written in 12-96. I can't find any other information on Marsonn but one thing is for sure, they were producing an equivalent 'rip it sip it' pouch 1 1/2 years ago. That's not to say that they still are, but I believe the facts about the current status of Marsonn's pouch need to be researched. I tried the Thomas Register to see if they were in it but weren't and I can't find anything else. mhbizlink.com Mark
