Opening system for a container, a method of making the same and a container comprising the opening system

1. An opening system for a container, comprising:

a packaging material having an outside surface corresponding to an outside of the container and an inside surface corresponding to an inside of the container; and

an injection molded opening element, wherein the injection molded opening element includes:

a first connection point directly attached to the inside surface of the packaging material;

a second connection point directly attached to the outside surface of the packaging material, wherein the injection molded opening element extends from the first connection point, through an opening in the packaging material, and to the second connection point; and

an extension element that extends outside of the container from the second connection point, wherein the extension element is configured to remove a seal of the opening in the packaging material.

2. An opening system according to claim 1 , wherein the packaging material is made from at least one of paper, cardboard, or plastic.

3. An opening system according to claim 1 , wherein the injection molded opening element is attached to extend parallel to the outside surface of the packaging material from the second connection point to the opening where the injection molded opening element goes through to the inside of the container.

4. An opening system according to claim 1 , wherein the injection molded opening element comprises a protrusion facing the inside of the packaging material for penetrating through the packaging material.

5. An opening system according to claim 1 , further comprising an opening support on the outside surface of the packaging material which at least partly encompasses the opening element.

6. An opening system according to claim 5 , wherein the opening support is arranged to encompass the opening element.

7. An opening system according to claim 1 , wherein an end of the extension element is attached to the outside surface of the packaging material.

8. An opening system according to claim 1 , wherein the packaging material has a laminated material.

9. A container comprising an opening system according to claim 1 .

10. An opening system according to claim 1 , wherein the extension element extends in a direction, at least in part, towards the first connection point.

11. An opening system according to claim 1 , wherein the first connection point is spaced apart from the second connection point relative to a longitudinal axis of the extension element.

12. An opening system according to claim 1 , wherein the first connection point is positioned on an opposite side of the opening in the packaging material from the second connection point.

13. An opening system according to claim 1 , wherein the extension element has an end portion that extends in the direction towards the first connection point for a distance outside of the container and spaced apart from the outside surface of the packaging material.

14. An opening system according to claim 5 , wherein the opening support extends longitudinally between a first end thereof and a second end thereof, the first end of the opening support situated in proximity to the second connection point of the injection molded opening element and the second end of the opening support situated in proximity to the first connection point of the injection molded opening element.

15. A container having an opening system, comprising:

a packaging material forming a container, the packaging material having:

an outside surface corresponding to an outside of the container,

an inside surface corresponding to an inside of the container, and

a container opening extending from the inside surface of the packaging material to the outside surface of the packaging material; and

an injection molded opening element including:

a first connection point directly attached to the inside surface of the packaging material,

a second connection point directly attached to the outside surface of the packaging material, wherein the injection molded opening element extends from the first connection point, through the container opening, and to the second connection point,

a closure configured to seal the container opening, and

an extension element that extends outside of the container from the second connection point, wherein the extension element is configured for removing the closure from the container opening,

wherein the first connection point is spaced apart from the second connection point relative to a longitudinal axis of the extension element.

16. A container according to claim 15 , wherein the extension element extends in a direction, at least in part, towards the first connection point.

17. A container according to claim 15 , wherein the first connection point is positioned on an opposite side of the container opening from the second connection point.

18. A container according to claim 15 , further comprising an opening support on the outside surface of the packaging material which at least partly encompasses the opening element, wherein the opening support extends longitudinally between a first end thereof and a second end thereof, the first end of the opening support situated in proximity to the second connection point of the injection molded opening element and the second end of the opening support situated in proximity to the first connection point of the injection molded opening element.

19. A container according to claim 15 , wherein the extension element has an end portion that extends in the direction towards the first connection point for a distance outside of the container and spaced apart from the outside surface of the packaging material.
