Package for storing a product

Abstract

A package unitarily formed from a cardboard blank for storing a product comprises a back wall, a first hinged lid section and a second hinged lid section to set the package in an open or a closed position. The first and the second hinged lid sections are opposite the back wall when the package is set in the closed position. The package further comprises a first pair of side walls and a second pair of side walls. The side walls of the first pair are arranged opposite each other and extend from the back wall. The first hinged lid section extends from one of the side walls of the first pair and the second hinged lid section extends from the other side wall of the first pair. The side walls of the second pair are arranged opposite each other and extend from the back wall. A panel comprising at least one aperture for receiving the product extends from one of the side walls of the second pair to the other side wall of the second pair and is arranged between the back wall and the first and the second hinged lid sections when the package is set in the closed position. At least one of the side walls of the second pair comprises an extension that forms a stiffening member. The stiffening member comprises a first leg, a second leg and a base extending between the first leg and the second leg. The first leg extends from the side wall and is attached to the back wall, and the second leg extends from the base and is attached to the panel.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present disclosure is concerned with a package unitarily formed from a cardboard blank for storing a product. The present disclosure is further concerned with a package kit comprising such type of package and a product.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Packages made of cardboard material for storing and shipping products, like oral care products or other personal hygiene products are well known in the art. Generally, the product is packed in a first package, which package is then put into a relatively large cardboard box for shipping. Usually, protective padding and / or filling material is inserted into the spacing between the first package and the outer walls of the box to ensure that the product is delivered in a safe and undamaged manner. Typically, the box is tied with a wire or tape. These types of packages are relatively complex and hard to open in a short period of time.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a package made from a cardboard blank that can hold a product. The package has a back wall and two lid sections that can be opened or closed. The package also has two pairs of side walls and a panel with an aperture for the product. One of the side walls is reinforced with a stiffening member. The technical effect of this package design is that it provides a secure and easy-to-use packaging solution for various products, ensuring safe and secure transportation.

Problems solved by technology

These types of packages are relatively complex and hard to open in a short period of time.

In case the recipient wants to return the product back to sender after opening the package, he is usually not enabled to reclose the package in an easy manner.

Sometimes, the package gets irreversibly damaged during an opening process so that the package cannot be re-used at all.

While these types of packages provide substantially safe delivery of the product stored therein, they are not as well suited to provide convenient handling of the package.

In particular, these types of packages are relatively big and require a relatively large amount of packaging material.
