Abstract
The disclosure relates to a method of producing a blank (50a, 50b) of thermosealable and creased packaging laminate for a microwave-friendly packaging container, comprising the steps of: (a) advancing a continuous web (1) of a base laminate (10) in a conversion line for the packaging laminate so that continuous blanks for said packaging containers are oriented with their top-to-bottom direction transversely of the machine direction of the conversion line and with a top-to-bottom interface (51), (b) providing said base laminate (10) with creases and cutting into said blanks (50a, 50b) of the packaging laminate, a continuous strip (2) of a material which conducts heat and electricity being applied in the machine direction in a region over said top-to-top/bottom interface (51) and in conjunction with step (a), and an elongate opening indication (53) being provided, before or after the application of the strip (2) so that the opening indication is positioned within the region of said strip. The disclosure also relates to a thus produced blank, as well as a packaging container which is formed using such a blank as the point of departure.
