Abstract
A packaging unit with a packaging pouch (10) of a flexible film-shaped first material and an essentially shape-stable outer packaging (28) of a second material is such that the outer packaging (28) is tube-shaped with open ends (31, 33) which are situated in a plane perpendicular to a tube axis (z). In a first position, the ends (31, 33) form a hexagon with two parallel sides (a, b) and two pairs of sides (c1, c2; d1, d2) each enclosing an angle α<180° lying symmetrically mirror imaged to a plane of symmetry (E), and in a second position form a rectangle with two parallel sides (a, b) and two sides (c, d) lying perpendicular to the plane of symmetry (E). In the first position a straight folding edge (g, h) runs between the corners of the sides (a, b) of both ends (31, 33) lying mirror imaged symmetrical to the plane of symmetry (E), and in the second position the sides (a, b) of both ends lying mirror image symmetrical to the plane of symmetry (E) form an angle α=180°. In the first and second position curved folding edges (l, k; l, m) run between the corners of the sides (a, b) of both ends (31, 33) lying parallel to the plane of symmetry (E) in such a manner that, in the second po…
