AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a packaging that can display the temperature of the items placed inside it in real-time, and it can be easily assembled, folded for storage and re-used multiple times. The integrated electronics module within the packaging includes a power source, so no additional power is needed from external sources.

Problems solved by technology

Depending on the beverage in question, there may be a preferred or an ideal temperature for consumption, although it may not always be straightforward to test this.
Devices such as these are, however, only useful for directly indicating the temperature of a liquid in direct contact therewith.

Embodiment Construction

[0022]FIG. 1 shows a packaging 10 configured to accommodate a number of beverage containers 12. In the embodiment shown, the packaging can hold up to six bottled beverages 12 (a “six pack”), but the packaging 10 may instead be configured to hold any number of beverage containers e.g. 1, 2, 4, 8, 10 etc. The packaging 10 is formed from a flat or sheet blank 11 (see FIG. 1a) which, when folded and secured together using tabs / slots 11a, or prefabricated with adhesive in a known manner, provides the assembled bottle packaging 10. The packaging 10 can be formed of a single layer of card or, alternatively, can be corrugated card, paper or a flexible plastics material or other structurally stable material that can be formed (e.g. folded) into the assembled packaging 10. Thus, preferably, the packaging material is flexible but with some structural rigidity to ensure the packaging can hold and support contents placed therein. Embodiments of the invention provide packaging that is particularl...

Abstract

A method of forming packaging accommodates one or more products and packaging produced by the method. The method includes providing a planar packaging blank of foldable material and assembling it into packaging capable of accommodating at least one product. A flexible electronics module on the packaging blank has at least one temperature measurement device and a temperature display to measure and display the temperature of at least one of the products. The positioning of the flexible electronics module with respect to the packaging permits both to be folded together to form the assembled packaging. The packaging is foldable from a first unassembled state to a second assembled state to accommodate at least one product, and the electronics module is at least partly flexible to enable it to be folded with the packaging. The packaging may hold six beverage containers and might be considered to be a “six pack.”

Description

[0001]The present invention relates to packaging for one or more products and in particular, but not exclusively, to packaging for holding a plurality of products such as beverage containers.BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION[0002]Packaging is known for accommodating a number of beverage containers such as bottles. Such packaging may be utilised, for example, for the storage and display of the beverages for retail, or for a consumer to place beverages therein when purchasing them from a retail outlet. A known form of packaging can accommodate six beverage bottles (a “six pack”) and is formed from a cardboard blank. The blank is pre-formed with a particular shape and may comprise one or more tabs receivable within slots or apertures located elsewhere on the blank when the blank is folded into its final configuration. The blank is scored or pre-folded to facilitate assembly of the packaging. The blank can therefore be stored flat until it is required to be used at which point it can be assem...
