    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a tear strip (100, 200) formed onto one or more wall panels (190) of a packaging blank (290) is provided. The tear strip includes one or more tear lines (110) configured onto at least one of the wall panels of the packaging blank and adapted to be cut there-through. Each of the one or more tear lines includes a first line of weakness (111) extending longitudinally between a proximal end towards a distal end and extends to a depth generally equal to an entire thickness of the packaging blank at the first line of weakness. The tear line further includes a second line of weakness (115) extending generally diagonally away from the first line of weakness in a direction away from a center of the tear strip and towards the distal end of the wall panel. The second line of weakness extends to a depth lesser than the entire thickness of the packaging blank. In operation, the tear strip may torn by pulling the one or more tear lines together such that a generally clean cut through a cross-section of the packaging blank is achieved at each of the first line of weakness and the second line of weakness.

    Abstract: A product handling apparatus, systems and associated methods. A product handling apparatus, includes a continuous circuit having an infeed length; and a discharge length. A carriage configured to travel around the circuit between the infeed length and the discharge length has a first picking tool configured to selectively engage a first product; and a second picking tool configured to selectively engage a second product. The product handling apparatus is configured to pick a first and second product arranged in a first arrangement at the infeed length and place the first and second product in a second arrangement, different to the first arrangement, at the discharge length.

    Abstract: A roving beverage dispensing device has a beverage container in a cooled compartment and a flexible beverage dispensing line with connecting means coupling its inlet end to the container. A pressure line is releasably connected to the container and to a source of pressurized gas. An elongated tapping column fixed to the top of the compartment comprises elongated inner channel bringing in communication the interior of the compartment with tapping valve element suitable for receiving a portion of the outlet end of the dispensing line and for controlling the flow of liquid therethrough. The largest diameters of the dispensing line and the connecting means are sufficiently small so that the dispensing line can be introduced from the top end of the tapping column through the elongated channel into the compartment and connected to the container.
