Benefits of technology

[0003]The problems set forth above are brilliantly solved by the present invention, which refers to a packaging characterised in that it consists of two containers, a rigid and a flexible one, the rigid one being capable of containing the flexible one.

Problems solved by technology

Normally, such materials are relatively flexible, consequently the transportability of containers made therefrom is too low to be of any practical use, especially for transporting medium-large quantities over medium-long journeys.
Moreover, if the containers were to be made of such materials, greater thicknesses would be required in order to make them more rigid, which would imply costs which are difficult to bear for disposable containers, as these necessarily are.
Also the application of sterile plastic sheets to strong baskets or reusable boxes with proved little practical, since transpiration and drainage would not be possible.

Embodiment Construction

[0016]The packaging 1 according to the present invention consists of a rigid, preferably re-usable container 2, and of a flexible, generally disposable container 3. “Rigid” and “flexible” in the present description are to be understood as relative concepts, i.e. “more rigid than the other” and “more flexible than the other”, the degree of rigidity being able to vary also remarkably in the different embodiments, without departing from the scope of the present invention. As concerns container 2, possible materials are thermoplastic materials, aluminium, alloys or wood. Among the polymers, polypropylene is generally preferred, be it atactic, isotactic or sindiotactic. Regenerated or first-quality material may be used, while concerning container 3, first-quality polypropylene for food purposes is normally used.

[0017]It is possible to provide a cover 4 to be applied to packaging 1. Cover 4, which may be of the same material as container 3, may be applied removably or it may be fastened s...

Abstract

A packaging (1) consists of two containers (2, 3), a rigid one (2) and a flexible one (3), the rigid one being capable of containing the flexible one.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention refers to a packaging, particularly useful in all cases in which products with severe hygiene and / or food standards must be packaged in medium-large quantities.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The transport of foodstuffs and the like often occurs in containers such as crates, baskets and boxes. The use of baskets is particularly common in all those cases in which it is important to allow the transported material to breathe or to drain liquids. However, there are instances in which, either due to the type of transport or of the goods, or to health and safety requirements, the container must be extremely clean. This is accomplished through suitable boxes, made of aseptic plastic material. Normally, such materials are relatively flexible, consequently the transportability of containers made therefrom is too low to be of any practical use, especially for transporting medium-large quantities over medium-long journeys. Moreover, if the con...
