Package with Internal Sensory Elements

Abstract

A novel razor cartridge package for storing razor cartridges is disclosed where the package comprises at least one sensory element incorporated into an interior surface of the cartridge package. The sensory elements include stimuli to one or more senses: visual, touch, olfactory, auditory, and taste or any combination thereof. The interior package sensory elements may correspond to characteristics and / or indicia of use of the razor cartridge or any combination thereof. The interior sensory elements may also correspond to communicating other items which may not directly relate to characteristics or usage of a cartridge but which convey that the razor cartridge is new or in some way enhance or improve the shaving experience for a user.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates to packaging elements, and more particularly to razor packaging elementsBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Current razor cartridge packages include plastic containers with a storage region for each cartridge. In many instances, when a consumer purchases a razor system package, there is a razor cartridge package or dispenser package with additional razor cartridges placed inside the system package. Typically, once the interior razor system package is opened, there is a tendency for the consumer to throw away the package or recycle it, keeping only the blade and the dispenser package with the extra razor cartridges. Thus, any information provided about the features of the particular razor product, if any were on the interior package, are gone. Further, detailed information about the razor characteristics and usage are typically not found on either the interior packages for razor system products or on the dispenser packages.[0003]Additio...

Problems solved by technology

Typically, once the interior razor system package is opened, there is a tendency for the consumer to throw away the package or recycle it, keeping only the blade and the dispenser package with the extra razor cartridges.

One disadvantage of such dispensers is that, if a previously used cartridge is returned to the dispenser, there is no clear signal to the user which of the cartridges in the dispenser are new and which are not new as it may be very difficult to differentiate the old or used cartridge from the new cartridges.
