Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a packaging insert comprising at least one base wall, at least one cover wall with at least two receiving openings for receiving goods, and side walls connecting the base and cover walls to form a receiving space, wherein the receiving space can be divided into several subspaces. The invention also relates to a packaging and a blank for producing a packaging insert.

[0002] Such packaging inserts are known in numerous embodiments. The known packaging inserts are usually made of plastic. If the design of the packaging insert changes, for example if the arrangement, shape, and size of the receptacles is changed, a new tool must be provided each time. This makes their production relatively expensive. In addition, the use of plastic gives rise to problems with the sustainability of these packaging inserts. A packaging insert made of cardboard is described in DE 20 2022 102 821 U1. This known packaging insert comprises at least one receptacle for storing goods and / or objects, and at least one frame, wherein the frame has at least one receiving opening for receiving the receptacle, and the receptacle comprises at least one connecting tab for firmly arranging the receptacle on the frame.Although this cardboard packaging insert already has advantages over the known plastic packaging inserts, it has been found that this packaging insert has disadvantages, particularly when it comes to machine production. A packaging insert is also known from US 1 922 571 A. This has a frame with corresponding receiving openings, wherein the receiving openings serve to receive corresponding containers or cups. The frame also has tabs, and in the assembled state, i.e. with the cups inserted into the openings, the side walls of the cups rest against the tabs. The tabs are connected to the side walls of the cups by means of a binding device on the outer circumference of the packaging insert, which is not described in more detail.

[0003] It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide a generic packaging insert, a generic packaging and a generic blank for producing a packaging insert, which can be produced sustainably, can be manufactured cost-effectively by machine and can also be produced in a wide variety of embodiments.

[0004] To achieve this object, a generic packaging insert according to the features of claim 1, a package with the features of claim 15, and a blank with the features of claim 18 are provided. Advantageous embodiments with expedient refinements of the invention are specified in the respective dependent claims. Advantageous embodiments of the packaging insert are to be regarded as advantageous embodiments of the package and / or the blank, and vice versa.

[0005] A first aspect of the invention relates to a packaging insert comprising at least one base wall, at least one cover wall with at least two receiving openings for receiving goods, and side walls connecting the base and cover walls to form a receiving space, wherein the receiving space can be divided into several sub-spaces. The sub-spaces are each delimited by means of locking tabs hinged to the cover wall via at least one bending line each, and by inner side walls arranged within the receiving space, wherein the locking tabs are designed to lock with locking openings formed in the base wall. The locking tabs can each have at least one locking lug for locking with the locking openings. The bending line between the cover wall and the locking tab limits the extent of the receiving opening in this area.In other words, the invention relates to a packaging insert that, through the use of snap-in tabs and inner side walls, is capable of dividing the receiving space into several sub-compartments. This design makes it possible to transport and protect goods separately from one another without the need for additional separating elements such as plastic walls. Advantageously, the packaging insert can be machine-manufactured sustainably and cost-effectively, even in a wide variety of designs. This is not only more cost-effective but also more environmentally friendly, as fewer materials are required. The use of a one-piece packaging insert to separate compartments also eliminates the risk of separating elements becoming lost or damaged.

[0006] Furthermore, it is possible for at least one locking tab to be hinged to opposite ends of the receiving opening. In other words, the packaging insert is provided with at least two locking tabs, which are attached to the opposite ends of the receiving opening. This arrangement eliminates the need for separate partition walls, especially made of plastic, since the locking tabs enable reliable separation of compartments or sub-spaces.

[0007] In further advantageous embodiments of the packaging insert according to the invention, the inner side walls are designed as partial elements of an inner partition wall. In other words, it can be provided that the inner side walls are not formed separately from the remaining construction, but are designed as components of the inner partition wall. This arrangement avoids separate partition walls, in particular made of plastic. The inner partition wall is also stabilized and the need for additional connecting elements is eliminated. This embodiment enables simpler and more cost-effective production of the packaging insert, since fewer individual parts have to be installed. However, it is also possible for the inner partition wall to be formed entirely as a separate element or to be integrally connected in an articulated manner to the side wall, which is not arranged between the base wall and the lid wall.Advantageously, this allows the inner partition wall to be designed in a very diverse way and to be adapted to the respective requirements. In addition, there is the possibility for the inner partition wall to comprise a first and third sub-section for each of the base wall and a second sub-section for each of the lid wall, with the inner side wall being formed between the first and second sub-sections and the inner side wall being formed between the second sub-section and the third sub-section. As a result of this design, the inner partition wall contributes considerably to the stability of the packaging insert according to the invention. Furthermore, it is possible for the first sub-section, the inner side wall, the second sub-section, the inner side wall and the third sub-section of the partition wall to be connected to one another via respective bending lines or a combined sequence of bending and cutting lines.In other words, these elements are designed to be connected in a flexible manner, which simplifies the packaging and facilitates its assembly.

[0008] According to further advantageous embodiments, it is provided that the first sub-section and the third sub-section each have openings which are arranged and designed such that they completely or at least predominantly coincide with the locking openings in the base wall. This ensures that the function of the locking openings is not impaired by these elements of the inner intermediate wall. However, it is also possible for the second sub-section to have openings which are arranged and designed such that they completely or at least predominantly coincide with the receiving openings in the lid wall. In other words, it is provided that the second sub-section of the packaging insert is designed such that its openings are arranged to correspond to the receiving openings in the lid wall in order to fully ensure the function of the receiving openings.In addition, it is possible for at least one limiting tab to be formed on at least one edge of the opening in the second sub-section for further limiting the sub-space and / or for holding the goods introduced through the receiving opening. The limiting tab also makes it possible to define the sub-space of the insert more precisely and to hold the introduced goods securely. These features contribute to improved functionality and handling of the packaging insert. However, it is also possible for at least one closing tab to be formed on at least one edge of the opening in the second sub-section for closing the receiving opening. In other words, it is provided that the packaging insert has at least one closing tab which is arranged on an edge of the opening in the second sub-section and enables the receiving opening to be closed.This design offers the advantage of preventing the penetration of foreign bodies or contaminants into the receiving opening, which ensures the quality of the product and guarantees hygienic storage.

[0009] In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, a perimeter of the receiving opening, defined by bending lines and cutting lines connecting the bending lines, has a polygonal, round, semicircular, oval, or a combination of these shapes. In other words, the receiving opening is characterized by a defined shape determined by bending lines and cutting lines. This embodiment offers the advantage that the insert is precisely shaped and enables optimal insertion of the product. The diverse shapes ensure flexible adaptation to different product properties and sizes.

[0010] In further advantageous embodiments of the packaging insert according to the invention, it is provided that the bottom wall and / or the lid wall and / or the side walls and / or the inner partition wall are made of paper or cardboard and / or are at least partially coated on one or both sides. In other words, it is possible for the insert to be made of environmentally friendly materials, which eliminates the need for separate separating elements, in particular plastic. The combination of paper or cardboard with a coating improves the durability and the multiple uses of the insert, while simultaneously reducing packaging waste. This embodiment thus contributes to a more sustainable and resource-efficient packaging solution.Particularly when food is contained in the packaging insert, at least some areas must be appropriately coated for reasons of hygiene and durability. Other coatings such as water- and / or repellent coatings are also possible. It is also possible for the packaging insert to be formed in one piece. In other words, the packaging insert is intended to be manufactured from a single piece rather than being composed of several separate parts or components. This embodiment of the invention offers several technical advantages. Firstly, it enables more efficient and cost-effective production, as fewer individual parts need to be produced and assembled. Furthermore, this embodiment avoids the risk of assembly errors or difficulties in the fit between the various parts, which in turn increases the quality and reliability of the packaging insert.

[0011] A second aspect of the invention relates to packaging for accommodating goods and / or objects, wherein the packaging has at least one lid element for resting and / or abutting a lid wall of a packaging insert according to the first aspect of the invention. Furthermore, the lid element has closure tabs for at least temporarily covering the receiving openings of the lid wall of the packaging insert. In other words, it is provided that the packaging has an additional element that can be placed and fixed on the upper surface of the insert in the packaging, wherein this lid element has closure tabs that enable the packaging to be closed. However, it is also possible for the lid wall to rest on at least two packaging inserts arranged next to one another and to connect them to one another.In other words, the lid wall is designed such that it rests on at least two adjacent packaging inserts, thus uniting or connecting them. Furthermore, the lid wall can be designed as a partial element of an outer shell for enclosing and receiving the packaging insert.

[0012] The packaging according to the invention can be produced easily and cost-effectively. Furthermore, a wide variety of packaging variants can be produced. Further features and their advantages of the packaging according to the invention can be found in the description of the first aspect of the invention, with advantageous embodiments of the first aspect of the invention being considered advantageous embodiments of the second aspect of the invention, and vice versa.

[0013] A third aspect of the invention relates to a blank made of paper, cardboard or similar materials for the production of a packaging insert, comprising a side wall which is connected via bending lines on the one hand to a base wall and on the other hand to a cover wall, a further side wall which is connected to the cover wall on the side opposite the side wall via a bending line; wherein the cover wall comprises at least two receiving openings for inserting goods and locking tabs which are each hinged via at least one bending line; and the locking tabs are designed to lock with locking openings formed in the base wall when the blank is in the folded state. The locking tabs can each have at least one locking lug for locking with the locking openings when the blank is in the folded state. The bending line between the cover wall and the locking tab limits the extent of the receiving opening in this area.Advantageously, the blank according to the invention can be manufactured sustainably and cost-effectively by machine, even in a wide variety of designs. In addition to these advantages, the invention also offers the advantage that no separate separating elements such as plastic walls are required. This is not only more cost-effective but also more environmentally friendly, as fewer materials are required.

[0014] Furthermore, it is possible for at least one locking tab to be hinged to opposite ends of the receiving opening. In other words, the blank is provided with at least two locking tabs attached to opposite ends of the receiving opening. This arrangement eliminates the need for separate partition walls, especially made of plastic, since the locking tabs enable reliable separation of compartments or sub-spaces.

[0015] In further advantageous embodiments of the blank according to the invention, it can be provided that an inner partition wall is arranged via a bending line or a combined bending / cutting line that is formed parallel to the bending line or a combined bending / cutting line between the side wall and the lid wall, and is connected to the further side wall that is not arranged between the lid wall and the base wall. This embodiment avoids separate partition walls, in particular made of plastic. This enables simpler and more cost-effective production of the packaging insert, since fewer individual parts have to be installed. However, it is also possible for the inner partition wall to be formed entirely as a separate element or to be integrally connected in an articulated manner to the side wall that is not arranged between the base wall and the lid wall.Advantageously, this allows the inner partition to be designed in a very diverse way and adapted to the respective requirements. Furthermore, it is possible for the inner partition to comprise a first and third section for respectively engaging the base wall and a second section for engaging the lid wall, each in a folded state of the blank, with the inner side wall being formed between the first and second sections and the inner side wall being formed between the second section and the third section. Due to this design, the inner partition contributes significantly to the stability of the packaging insert produced from the blank according to the invention.Furthermore, it is possible for the first section, the inner side wall, the second section, the inner side wall, and the third section of the partition wall to be connected to each other via respective bending lines or a combined sequence of bending and cutting lines. In other words, it is intended that these elements be connected in a flexible manner, which facilitates their assembly.

[0016] According to further advantageous embodiments, it is provided that the first sub-section and the third sub-section each have openings that are arranged and designed such that, when the blank is folded, they are completely or at least predominantly aligned with the locking openings in the base wall. This ensures that the function of the locking openings is not impaired by these elements of the inner partition wall. However, it is also possible for the second sub-section to have openings that are arranged and designed such that, when the blank is folded, they are completely or at least predominantly aligned with the receiving openings in the cover wall.In other words, it is intended that the second section of the blank is designed in such a way that its openings are arranged corresponding to the receiving openings in the cover wall in order to fully ensure the function of the receiving openings.

[0017] In addition, it is possible for at least one limiting tab to be formed on at least one edge of the opening in the second sub-section to further limit the sub-space and / or to hold the goods inserted through the receiving opening. The limiting tab also makes it possible to define the sub-space of the packaging insert more precisely when the blank is folded and to hold the inserted goods securely. These features contribute to improved functionality and handling of the packaging insert. However, it is also possible for at least one closing tab to be formed on at least one edge of the opening in the second sub-section to close the receiving opening. In other words, it is provided that the blank has at least one closing tab which is arranged on an edge of the opening in the second sub-section and enables the receiving opening to be closed.This design offers the advantage of preventing the penetration of foreign bodies or contaminants into the receiving opening, which ensures the quality of the product and guarantees hygienic storage.

[0018] In a further advantageous embodiment of the blank according to the invention, it is provided that a circumference of the receiving opening, defined by bending lines and cutting lines connecting the bending lines, has a polygonal, round, semicircular, oval, or a combination of these shapes. In other words, the receiving opening is characterized by a defined shape determined by bending lines and cutting lines. This embodiment offers the advantage that the insert is precisely formed and enables optimal insertion of the product. The diverse shapes ensure flexible adaptation to different product properties and sizes.

[0019] Furthermore, it is possible for the blank to be coated at least partially on one or both sides. Especially when the packaging insert contains food, at least some areas must be coated accordingly for hygiene and durability reasons.

[0020] Other coatings, such as water- and / or repellent coatings, are also possible. It is also possible for the blank to be formed as a single piece. In other words, the blank is intended to be manufactured from a single piece rather than being assembled from several separate parts or components. This results in more efficient and cost-effective production of the blank and the resulting packaging insert, as fewer individual parts need to be produced and assembled. Furthermore, this design avoids the risk of assembly errors or difficulties in the fit between the various parts, which in turn increases the quality and reliability of the packaging insert to be produced.

[0021] Further features and their advantages can be found in the descriptions of the first and second aspects of the invention, wherein advantageous embodiments of the first and second aspects of the invention are to be regarded as advantageous embodiments of the third aspect of the invention and vice versa.

[0022] In the further description of the exemplary embodiments and the claims, various general terms are used. For example, the term "bending line" can be understood to mean all lines that allow elements of the container or blank to be bent relative to one another along a defined path. In addition to the bending lines mentioned, folding, perforation, or creasing lines, or a combination of these lines, including cutting lines, can also be used.

[0023] Further features of the invention emerge from the claims, the exemplary embodiments, and the drawings. The features and combinations of features mentioned above in the description, as well as the features and combinations of features mentioned below in the exemplary embodiments, can be used not only in the respective specified combinations, but also in other combinations without departing from the scope of the invention. The drawings show: Fig. 1 a schematic representation of a packaging insert according to the invention; Fig. 2 a schematic representation of the packaging insert according to Fig. 1 in a front view; Fig. 3 a schematic representation of the packaging insert according to Fig. 1 in a view from below; Fig. 4 a schematic representation of a blank according to the invention for producing a packaging insert according to a first embodiment; and Fig. 5 a schematic representation of blanks according to the invention for producing packaging inserts according to further embodiments.

The inner side wall 38 is formed between the first and second section 36, 40, and the inner side wall 42 is formed between the second section 40 and the third section 44. The first section 36, the inner side wall 38, the second section 40, the inner side wall 42, and the third section 44 of the inner partition wall 34 are connected to one another via respective bending lines or, as in the present exemplary embodiment, via a combined sequence of approximately parallel combinations of bending and cutting lines 70, 72; 74, 76; 78, 80; 82, 84.Furthermore, it can be seen that the first subsection 36 and the third subsection 44 each have openings 50, 52, which are arranged and configured such that they completely or at least predominantly coincide with the locking openings 32 of the base wall 12. The second subsection 40, in turn, has openings 48, which are arranged and configured such that they completely or at least predominantly coincide with the receiving openings 46 in the cover wall 14.

[0028] Furthermore, it can be seen that a circumference of the receiving openings 46 defined by the cutting lines 102, 104 connecting the bending lines 90, 92 is polygonal, in the illustrated embodiment it is quadrangular with rounded corner areas.

[0029] In the illustrated embodiment, the packaging insert 10 is formed in one piece. This means that the bottom wall 12, the lid wall 14, the side walls 16, 18 and the inner partition wall 34 are made of a uniform material, namely cardboard. However, these elements can also be made of paper or corrugated cardboard. Furthermore, it is possible for these elements to be at least partially coated on one or both sides. Furthermore, Fig. 1 to 4 clearly show that the bottom wall 12 is articulated to the side wall 16 via a combination of bending and cutting lines 54, 56, the side wall 16 is articulated to the cover wall 14 via a combination of bending and cutting lines 58, 60 and the cover wall 14 is articulated to the side wall 18 via a combination of bending and cutting lines 62, 64.

[0030] Fig. Figure 5 shows a schematic representation of a blank 100 for producing further packaging inserts 10 according to further embodiments. The blank 100 corresponds in its design predominantly to the design of the blank of the Fig. 4 according to a first embodiment. In contrast to the blank 100 shown in Fig. 4 illustrated embodiment are shown in Fig. 5 shows further different embodiments of the openings 48 of the second subsection 40. It can be seen that limiting tabs 94 can be formed on at least one edge of the opening 48 to further limit the subspace 22 and to hold the goods to be introduced through the receiving opening 46. Furthermore, it is possible for a closure tab 46 to be formed on at least one edge of the opening 48 to close the receiving opening 46. The closure tabs 96 have handle openings 98 for easy opening of the closure tabs 96.

[0031] The Fig. 4 and Fig. The blanks 100 shown in Figure 5 are formed as a single piece. They consist, in particular, of paper, cardboard, corrugated cardboard, or a combination of these materials. Plastic materials are also conceivable. QUOTES CONTAINED IN THE DESCRIPTION
