A package comprising a cylindrical plastic tube closed at each end by an ultrasonic band seal. The seal at one end has a sealed region which is narrower than any portion of the other seal whereby squeezing of the package produces an immediate one-shot dispensing of liquid contained therein by causing rupture of the narrow region of the seal. Various package forms include perpendicularly arranged bands to provide a tetrahedral shape, a tab extending beyond one seal to provide identification of the contents of the package, notched seals providing a tear open package, and a multiple package construction in which one fluid containing tube is contained within another.

1. A package comprising a cylindrical tube of flexible material, a first end of said tube being closed by a first ultrasonic seal extending transversely across the tube, a second end of said tube being closed by a second ultrasonic seal extending transversely across the tube, said tube providing an internal chamber between said seals for containing a product and said second seal having a portion narrower than any portion of the first seal for rupturing under pressure for the dispensing of the product only through said second end of the tube, and a tab extending beyond one of said seals, said tab consisting of an open extension of said tube, and a plurality of notches formed in the open edge of said extension providing a code to identify the contents of the package. 2. A package comprising a cylindrical tube of flexible material, a first end of said tube being closed by a first ultrasonic seal extending transversely across the tube, a second end of said tube being closed by a second ultrasonic seal extending transversely across the tube, said tube providing an internal chamber between said seals for containing a product and said second seal having a portion narrower than any portion of the first seal for rupturing under pressure for the dispensing of the product only through said second end of the tube, and a second cylindrical tube extending from said second seal, the extended end of said second tube being closed by a third ultrasonic seal extending transversely across said second tube and having a portion of its width intermediate the width of the first and second seals for rupturing under pressure substantially greater than the pressure under which the second seal ruptures. 3. A package according to claim 2 wherein said seals are in the form of bands, said second and third band seals being located in a plane perpendicular to the plane in which said first seal is located. 4.
