Claim 1
Independent Claim 86 words
A flexible packaging film comprising, in combination: a first layer of transparent material, and first printed indicia on a first surface thereof, a second layer of transparent material, and second printed indicia on a first surface thereof, said first and second layers being joined together with their respective first surfaces in contact with and essentially continuously joined to each other over the whole of their facing surfaces and with the first indicia legible through the first layer and the second indicia legible through the second layer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 86 words
A flexible packaging film comprising, in combination: a first layer of transparent material, and first printed indicia on a first surface thereof, a second layer of transparent material, and second printed indicia on a first surface thereof, said first and second layers being joined together with their respective first surfaces in contact with and essentially continuously joined to each other over the whole of their facing surfaces and with the first indicia legible through the first layer and the second indicia legible through the second layer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 45 words
A flexible packaging film according to claim 1, wherein: the first and second layers of the film each includes a joinder layer of heat-sealable material on their respective first surfaces, and the first and second layers are joined to each other along said heat-sealable material.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 33 words
A flexible packaging film according to claim 1, further including: an exterior heat-sealable layer on one of the first and second layers on an exterior second surface thereof opposite from its first surface.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 32 words
A flexible packaging film according to claim 2, further including: an exterior heat-sealable layer on one of the first and second layers on an exterior second surface thereof opposite its first surface.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 32 words
A flexible packaging film according to claim 1, wherein: each printed indicia consists of printed information applied to the first surface of each layer and an opaque background overlaying the printed information.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 119 words
A packaging container comprising two members joined together to define a commodity storage compartment, wherein: 1. the first member is a transparent packaging film, 2. the second member is a two-side legible film consisting of first, second and third layers joined together, a. the first layer being joined to the second layer along contacting surfaces thereof, b. the first and second layers each having printed indicia on their said contacting surfaces, with the indicia on a layer being legible through its surface opposite from said contacting surfaces, c. the third layer consisting of transparent heat-sealable material, 3. portions of the third layer of the second member being heat-sealed to the first member to define a product containing compartment therebetween.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 119 words
A packaging container comprising two members joined together to define a commodity storage compartment, wherein: 1. the first member is a transparent packaging film, 2. the second member is a two-side legible film consisting of first, second and third layers joined together, a. the first layer being joined to the second layer along contacting surfaces thereof, b. the first and second layers each having printed indicia on their said contacting surfaces, with the indicia on a layer being legible through its surface opposite from said contacting surfaces, c. the third layer consisting of transparent heat-sealable material, 3. portions of the third layer of the second member being heat-sealed to the first member to define a product containing compartment therebetween.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 17 words
A packaging container according to claim 6, wherein the first and second members form a pouch container.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 46 words
A packaging container according to claim 6, wherein the first member is formed to have a tray portion surrounded by a peripheral flange portion, and the second member is flat and its third layer is heat-sealed to the first member along the peripheral flange portion thereof.
