Description

[0001] The present invention relates to carrier packaging for holding and transporting objects, in particular bottles, cans, cups, or similar objects. The invention further relates to blanks for the production of carrier packaging.

[0002] Such carrier packaging and blanks are known, for example, from US Pat. No. 2,996,216 A, US Pat. No. 2,731,170 A, DE 696 21 991 T2, DE 697 38 422 T, DE 698 33 997 T2, or WO 93 / 22217 A1. However, a disadvantage of these known blanks and carrier packaging is that, although they can be manufactured cost-effectively from cardboard, they also have certain limitations in stability. Furthermore, problems can arise with the secure holding of the objects transported using the known carrier packaging in the corresponding carrier packaging.

[0003] It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide a generic carrying package and a generic blank for the production of a carrying package, which on the one hand can be produced cost-effectively, have improved stability and also ensure that the objects in the carrying package are held securely.

[0004] To achieve these objects, carrier packaging according to the features of claims 1 and 6 as well as blanks with the features of claims 14 and 19 are used. Advantageous embodiments with expedient further developments of the invention are specified in the respective dependent claims, wherein advantageous embodiments of the carrier packaging are to be regarded as advantageous embodiments of the blanks and vice versa.

[0005] A first aspect of the invention relates to a carrying package for receiving and transporting objects, in particular bottles, cans, cups or similar objects, comprising at least one lid wall element with at least one receiving opening for receiving a partial region of the object and first and second reinforcing tabs, each arranged along at least one bending line on opposite sides of the lid wall element, for respectively engaging a surface of the lid wall element. The first and second reinforcing tabs each comprise at least one further receiving opening for receiving a partial region of the object. The further receiving openings are arranged such that, when the lid wall element and the reinforcing tabs lie against one another, they are completely or at least partially aligned with the receiving opening of the lid wall element.In addition, the receiving opening of the lid wall element and the further receiving openings of the first and second reinforcing tabs have a plurality of locking tabs projecting into the respective receiving opening. When the lid wall element rests against the first and second reinforcing tabs, the locking tabs lying one above the other are arranged at least partially offset from one another in the corresponding receiving openings. This design results in a carrying package with at least two layers, which thereby exhibits significantly improved stability than known carrying devices. This also occurs without gluing or connecting the individual layers to one another. Since the carrying package according to the invention can also be made of cardboard, it can also be produced sustainably and in an environmentally friendly and resource-saving manner.The offset arrangement of the locking tabs in the superimposed receiving openings also ensures that the objects received therein are held securely, since this inventive design significantly increases the frictional forces and thus the retention forces of the locking tabs. Furthermore, it is possible for the respective locking tabs to form a complete inner ring in the corresponding receiving openings, with the respective locking tabs in the corresponding receiving openings being separated from one another by cutting lines. This design and arrangement of the locking tabs significantly increases their overall retention force. The inventive design also enables the cost-effective production of a carrying package that is very stable compared to the prior art for the secure holding and safe transport of objects, in particular bottles, cans, cups or similar objects.

[0006] In a further advantageous embodiment of the carrier packaging according to the invention, the width of the first and / or second reinforcing tab can correspond to at least half the width of the lid wall element, in each case measured in a direction perpendicular to the bending lines. In other words, the width of the reinforcing tabs corresponds to at least half the width of the lid wall element, measured perpendicular to the bending lines. This embodiment leads to significantly improved stability of the carrier packaging, since the reinforcing tabs, thanks to their wide design, can better stabilize the carton and prevent bending or failure. This is particularly relevant when holding and transporting objects subject to greater loads, for example when bottles or cans are transported in the packaging.

[0007] In a further advantageous embodiment of the carrying package according to the invention, it is provided that the lid wall element and the first and second reinforcing tabs each have at least one handle opening such that, when the lid wall element is folded, they are completely or at least partially covered by the first and second reinforcing tabs and form at least one common handle opening. In other words, it is provided that the lid wall element and the first and second reinforcing tabs each have handles that overlap when folded together and thus form a common, usable handle opening. This embodiment offers the advantage that the transport of the carrying package is simplified by the common handle openings. Since the handle openings are created by the overlapping elements, the construction is robust and at the same time space-saving.

[0008] In a further advantageous embodiment of the carrying packaging according to the invention, it is provided that a side wall is hinged to the lid wall element approximately perpendicular to the first and second reinforcing tabs, wherein the side walls each have connecting tabs for forming a wrap around the objects accommodated in the carrying packaging. In other words, it is provided that a side wall is hinged to the lid wall element perpendicular to the reinforcing tabs, which in turn have connecting tabs for wrapping around the transported objects. This arrangement enables improved stability of the carrying packaging, since the side walls offer additional support and the objects can be better secured. The wrap around provided by the connecting tabs ensures that the objects are held securely within the carrying packaging and thus prevents them from slipping or falling out during transport.

[0009] A second aspect of the invention relates to a further carrying packaging for receiving and transporting objects, in particular bottles, cans, cups or similar objects, comprising at least one lid wall element with at least one receiving opening for receiving a portion of the object. In addition, first and second reinforcing tabs are arranged on opposite sides of the lid wall element via at least one bending line for respectively engaging a surface of the lid wall element, and first and second tab elements are arranged on the sides of the respective first and second reinforcing tab opposite the lid wall element, directly via at least one bending line or indirectly via at least one intermediate element, for respectively engaging a surface of the respective first and second reinforcing tab.The first and second reinforcing tabs and the first and second tab elements each comprise at least one further receiving opening for receiving a partial area of ​​the object, wherein the further receiving openings are arranged such that they are completely or at least partially coincident with the receiving opening of the cover wall element when the cover wall element with the first and second reinforcing tabs and the first and second reinforcing tabs lie against one another with the first and second tab elements.Furthermore, the receiving opening of the lid wall element and / or the further receiving openings of the first and second reinforcement tabs and / or the receiving openings of the first and second tab elements have a plurality of locking tabs projecting into the respective receiving opening, wherein, when the lid wall element abuts the first and second reinforcement tabs and the first and second tab elements, the locking tabs lying one above the other are arranged at least partially offset from one another in the corresponding receiving openings. This design results in a carrying package with at least three layers, which thereby exhibits significantly improved stability than known carrying devices. This also occurs without gluing or connecting the individual layers to one another.Since the carrier packaging according to the invention can also be made of cardboard, it can be produced sustainably and in an environmentally friendly and resource-saving manner. The offset arrangement of the locking tabs in the overlapping receiving openings also ensures a secure hold of the items contained therein, as this inventive design significantly increases the frictional forces and thus the retention forces of the locking tabs.

[0010] In a further advantageous embodiment of the carrier packaging according to the invention, the abutment of the lid wall element with the first or second reinforcing tab, as well as the abutment of the first or second reinforcing tab with the respective first or second tab element, can be designed in a Z-fold. This embodiment enables a particularly stable carrier packaging, since the Z-fold creates a uniform and secure connection between the various elements of the packaging. The Z-fold gives the carrier packaging according to the invention additional strength and stability, which contributes to the bottles or beverage cans being transported safely without damaging the carrier packaging.

[0011] In an advantageous embodiment of the carrying packaging according to the invention, it is provided that the intermediate elements each consist of two grip tabs that can be folded towards one another and lie against one another, and that the grip tabs each have at least one handle opening, such that when the grip tabs are folded, the handle openings completely or at least partially coincide with one another and form at least one common handle opening. In other words, it is provided that the intermediate elements consist of two parts that together form a handle, and these parts each have an opening. When the two parts are folded together, the openings at least partially coincide and thus form a larger opening for transporting the carrying object. This embodiment offers greater stability than conventional carrying packaging due to the additional support of the grip tabs.The shared handle opening allows for comfortable and safe transport. Furthermore, the handle tabs can extend beyond the first and second tab elements when folded. In other words, the handle tabs, when folded together for carrying, comprise a portion that extends beyond the first and second tab elements. This design offers the advantage of increased carrying comfort.

[0012] In a further advantageous embodiment of the carrying package according to the invention, the respective locking tabs can form a complete inner ring in the corresponding receiving openings, wherein the respective locking tabs in the corresponding receiving openings are separated from one another by cutting lines. The complete design of the inner ring ensures that the objects are securely held within the receiving openings by means of the locking tabs.

[0013] In a further advantageous embodiment of the carrier packaging according to the invention, the width of the first and / or second reinforcing tab can correspond to at least half the width of the lid wall element, in each case measured in a direction perpendicular to the bending lines. In other words, the width of the reinforcing tabs corresponds to at least half the width of the lid wall element, measured perpendicular to the bending lines. This embodiment leads to significantly improved stability of the carrier packaging, since the reinforcing tabs, thanks to their wide design, can better stabilize the carton and prevent bending or failure. This is particularly relevant when holding and transporting objects subject to greater loads, for example when bottles or cans are transported in the packaging.

[0014] In an advantageous embodiment of the carrying packaging according to the invention, it is provided that a side wall is hinged to the lid wall element approximately perpendicular to the first and second reinforcing tabs, wherein the side walls each have connecting tabs for forming a wraparound around the objects accommodated in the carrying packaging and / or a side wall is hinged to the first and second tab element opposite the corresponding first and second reinforcing element, wherein the side walls each have connecting tabs for forming a wraparound. In other words, it is provided that additional side walls are attached to the lid wall element of the carrying packaging perpendicular to the reinforcing tabs. These side walls are equipped with connecting tabs which form a secure wraparound around the objects contained in the packaging.This design offers improved stability and security for the transported items compared to conventional carrier packaging. The additional side walls give the packaging greater strength and prevent the contents from shifting during transport or use. The wraparound, connected by the connecting tabs, ensures a secure hold of the items, which is especially important when transporting delicate bottles, cans, or cups.

[0015] In an advantageous embodiment of the carrier packaging according to the first or second aspect of the invention, it is provided that the carrier packaging is formed in one piece. In other words, it is provided that the carrier packaging does not consist of several individual parts, but is manufactured as a whole. This embodiment of the invention offers several technical advantages. First of all, a one-piece carrier packaging is generally more stable than one assembled from several individual parts. This is particularly advantageous when heavy or bulky objects, such as bottles or beverage cans, are to be transported. A further advantage of a one-piece carrier packaging is its ease of handling. Since it does not have to be assembled from several individual parts, it is quicker and easier to use than conventional cardboard carrier packaging.Additionally, a one-piece cardboard carrier can also be more cost-effective than traditional carrier packaging. Because it doesn't consist of multiple individual parts, production costs are lower and assembly and packaging effort is reduced. Furthermore, a one-piece cardboard carrier is more environmentally friendly than traditional carrier packaging. Because it doesn't consist of multiple individual parts, less packaging waste is generated and less material is required. This helps conserve resources and reduce environmental impact.

[0016] In further advantageous embodiments of the carrier packaging according to the invention, these can be made of paper, cardboard, corrugated cardboard, or plastic. The use of paper, cardboard, corrugated cardboard, or plastic as a material makes it possible to design a carrier packaging that meets the needs of the respective application and is also durable.

[0017] Further features and their advantages emerge from the description of the first aspect of the invention, wherein advantageous embodiments of the first aspect of the invention are to be regarded as advantageous embodiments of the second aspect of the invention and vice versa.

[0018] A third aspect of the invention relates to a blank for producing a carrying package for receiving and transporting objects, in particular bottles, cans, cups, or similar objects, comprising at least one lid wall element with at least one receiving opening for receiving a portion of the object. Furthermore, first and second reinforcing tabs are arranged on opposite sides of the lid wall element via at least one bending line, each of which is configured to bear against a surface of the lid wall element in the folded state of the blank, wherein the first and second reinforcing tabs each comprise at least one further receiving opening for receiving a portion of the object.The further receiving openings are arranged such that, when the lid wall element and the reinforcing tabs lie against one another, they are completely or at least partially aligned with the receiving opening of the lid wall element. In addition, the receiving opening of the lid wall element and the further receiving openings of the first and second reinforcing tabs have a plurality of locking tabs projecting into the respective receiving opening. When the lid wall element and the first and second reinforcing tabs lie against one another in the folded state of the blank, the locking tabs lying one above the other are arranged at least partially offset from one another in the corresponding receiving openings. This configuration of the blank according to the invention results in a carrying package with at least two layers when the blank is folded together, which thus exhibits significantly improved stability than known carrying devices.This is achieved without gluing or connecting the individual layers to one another. Since the blank according to the invention can also be made from cardboard, it can be produced sustainably and in an environmentally friendly and resource-saving manner. The offset arrangement of the locking tabs in the superimposed receiving openings also ensures that the objects received therein are held securely, since this inventive design significantly increases the frictional forces and thus the retention forces of the locking tabs. In addition, it is possible for the respective locking tabs to form a complete inner ring in the corresponding receiving openings, with the respective locking tabs in the corresponding receiving openings being separated from one another by cutting lines. This design and arrangement of the locking tabs significantly increases their overall retention force.The construction according to the invention also enables the cost-effective production of a carrying package that is very stable compared to the prior art for the safe reception and safe transport of objects, in particular bottles, cans, cups or similar objects.

[0019] In a further advantageous embodiment of the blank according to the invention, the width of the first and / or second reinforcing tab can correspond to at least half the width of the lid wall element, in each case measured in a direction perpendicular to the bending lines. In other words, the width of the reinforcing tabs corresponds to at least half the width of the lid wall element, measured perpendicular to the bending lines. This embodiment leads to significantly improved stability of the carrier packaging produced from the blank according to the invention, since the reinforcing tabs, thanks to their wide design, can better stabilize the carton and prevent bending or failure. This is particularly relevant when receiving and transporting objects subject to greater loads, for example when bottles or cans are transported in the packaging.

[0020] In a further advantageous embodiment of the blank according to the invention, it is provided that the lid wall element and the first and second reinforcing tabs each have at least one handle opening such that, when the lid wall element is folded, they are completely or at least partially covered by the first and second reinforcing tabs and form at least one common handle opening. In other words, it is provided that the lid wall element and the first and second reinforcing tabs each have handles that overlap when folded together and thus form a common, usable handle opening. This embodiment offers the advantage that the transport of the carrying packaging produced from the blank according to the invention is simplified by the common handle openings. Since the handle openings are created by the elements overlapping, the construction is robust and at the same time space-saving.

[0021] In a further advantageous embodiment of the blank according to the invention, it is provided that a side wall is hinged to the lid wall element approximately perpendicular to the first and second reinforcing tabs, wherein the side walls each have connecting tabs for forming a wraparound, when the blank is folded, around the objects accommodated in the carrying package. In other words, it is provided that a side wall is hinged to the lid wall element perpendicular to the reinforcing tabs, which in turn have connecting tabs for wrapping around the transported objects. This arrangement enables improved stability of the carrying package produced using the blank according to the invention, since the side walls offer additional support and the objects can be better secured.The connecting tabs ensure that the items are held securely within the carrying case and thus prevent them from slipping or falling out during transport.

[0022] Further features and their advantages emerge from the description 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.

[0023] A fourth aspect of the invention relates to a further blank for producing a carrying package for receiving and transporting objects, in particular bottles, cans, cups, or similar objects. The blank comprises at least one lid wall element with at least one receiving opening for receiving a portion of the object. Furthermore, first and second reinforcing tabs are arranged on opposite sides of the lid wall element, each along at least one bending line, for respectively engaging a surface of the lid wall element when the blank is folded.In addition, first and second tab elements are each arranged on the sides of the respective first and second reinforcing tabs opposite the cover wall element, directly via at least one bending line or indirectly via at least one intermediate element, for respectively engaging a surface of the respective first and second reinforcing tabs in the folded state of the blank. The first and second reinforcing tabs and the first and second tab elements each comprise at least one further receiving opening for receiving a portion of the article, wherein the further receiving openings are arranged such that, when the cover wall element with the first and second reinforcing tabs and the first and second reinforcing tabs lie against one another, they are completely or at least partially aligned with the receiving opening of the cover wall element.Furthermore, the receiving opening of the lid wall element and / or the further receiving openings of the first and second reinforcement tabs and / or the receiving openings of the first and second tab elements have a plurality of locking tabs projecting into the respective receiving opening, wherein, when the lid wall element lies against one another with the first and second reinforcement tabs and with the first and second tab elements, the locking tabs lying one above the other are arranged at least partially offset from one another in the corresponding receiving openings. This configuration results in a carrying package with at least three layers by appropriate folding of the blank, which thereby exhibits significantly improved stability than known carrying devices. This is achieved even without gluing or connecting the individual layers to one another.Since the blank according to the invention can also be made of cardboard, it can be produced sustainably and in an environmentally friendly and resource-saving manner. The offset arrangement of the locking tabs in the overlapping receiving openings also ensures a secure hold of the objects accommodated therein, as this inventive design significantly increases the frictional forces and thus the retention forces of the locking tabs.

[0024] In an advantageous embodiment of the blank according to the invention, the intermediate elements each consist of two grip tabs that can be folded towards one another and lie against one another, and the grip tabs each have at least one grip opening such that, when the grip tabs are folded, the grip openings completely or at least partially overlap one another and form at least one common grip opening. In other words, the intermediate elements consist of two parts that together form a handle, and these parts each have an opening. When the two parts are folded together, the openings at least partially overlap and thus form a larger opening for transporting the carrying object.This embodiment of the carrying package, produced using the blank according to the invention, offers greater stability than conventional carrying packages due to the additional support of the handle tabs. The shared handle opening enables comfortable and safe transport. Furthermore, it is possible for the handle tabs to extend beyond the first and second tab elements when folded. In other words, the handle tabs, when folded together for carrying, comprise a portion that extends beyond the first and second tab elements. This design offers the advantage of increased carrying comfort.

[0025] In a further advantageous embodiment of the blank according to the invention, the respective locking tabs can form a complete inner ring in the corresponding receiving openings, wherein the respective locking tabs in the corresponding receiving openings are separated from one another by cutting lines. The complete design of the inner ring ensures that the objects are securely held within the receiving openings by means of the locking tabs.

[0026] In a further advantageous embodiment of the blank according to the invention, the width of the first and / or second reinforcing tab can correspond to at least half the width of the lid wall element, in each case measured in a direction perpendicular to the bending lines. In other words, the width of the reinforcing tabs corresponds to at least half the width of the lid wall element, measured perpendicular to the bending lines. This embodiment leads to significantly improved stability of the carrier packaging produced using the blank according to the invention, since the reinforcing tabs, thanks to their wide design, can better stabilize the carton and prevent bending or failure. This is particularly relevant when receiving and transporting objects subject to greater loads, for example when bottles or cans are transported in the packaging.

[0027] In an advantageous embodiment of the blank according to the invention, it is provided that a side wall is hinged to the lid wall element approximately perpendicular to the first and second reinforcing tabs, wherein the side walls each have connecting tabs for forming a wraparound around the objects accommodated in the carrier packaging produced by means of the blank and / or a side wall is hinged to the first and second tab element opposite the corresponding first and second reinforcing element, wherein the side walls each have connecting tabs for forming a wraparound.

This design offers improved stability and security for the transported items compared to conventional carrier packaging. The additional side walls give the packaging greater strength and prevent the contents from shifting during transport or use. The wraparound connection with the connecting tabs ensures that the items are held securely, which is particularly important when transporting delicate bottles, cans, or cups.

[0028] In an advantageous embodiment of the blanks according to the third or fourth aspect of the invention, it is provided that the blanks are each formed in one piece. In other words, it is provided that the blanks do not consist of several individual parts, but are manufactured as a whole. One advantage of a one-piece blank is its ease of handling and production.

[0030] Further features and their advantages emerge from the description of the first, second and third aspects of the invention, wherein advantageous embodiments of the first, second and third aspects of the invention are to be regarded as advantageous embodiments of the fourth aspect of the invention and vice versa.

[0031] Further advantages, features, and details of the invention will become apparent from the following description of several exemplary embodiments and from 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 description of the figures and / or shown alone in the figures, can be used not only in the respective specified combinations, but also in other combinations, or on their own, without departing from the scope of the invention.

[0032] They show: Fig. 1 a schematic representation of a carrying device according to the invention according to a first embodiment; Fig. 2 a schematic representation of a blank according to the invention for producing a carrying device according to Fig. 1; Fig. 3 a detail enlargement according to Fig. 2; Fig. 4 a schematic representation of a carrying device according to the invention according to a second embodiment; Fig. 5 a schematic representation of a blank according to the invention for producing a carrying device according to Fig. 4.

[0033] The Fig. 1 to 3 show a first embodiment of a carrying device 10 and a corresponding blank 100 for producing the carrying device 10. The Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 show a second embodiment of a carrying device 10 and a corresponding blank 102 for producing the carrying device 10. The Fig. 1 to 5 are described together below, wherein the same reference numerals in the figures denote the same features of the carrying device 10 or the blanks 100, 102.

[0034] The terms "folding line" or "bending line" refer to lines along which corresponding elements of the container can be brought to one another at predetermined angles. "Bending lines" also refer to folding, creasing, or perforation lines, or combinations thereof. "Folding lines" also refer to creasing, bending, or perforation lines, or combinations thereof. However, it is also possible for these lines to be combined with one or more cutting lines.

[0035] Fig. Figure 1 shows a schematic representation of the carrying device 10 according to a first embodiment. The carrying packaging 10 serves to hold and transport objects 12, in particular bottles, cans, cups, or similar objects. In the illustrated embodiment, the carrying packaging 10 serves to hold and transport bottles 12.

[0036] The carrying package 10 has a lid wall element 14, wherein the lid wall element 14 has a plurality of receiving openings 24 for receiving a portion of the respective object 12. On the opposite sides of the lid wall element 14, a first and a second reinforcing tab 20, 22 are arranged via a bending line 16, 18. The first and second reinforcing tabs 20, 22 serve to respectively bear against a surface of the lid wall element 14. In the illustrated embodiment, the reinforcing tabs 20, 22 bear against an inwardly directed surface of the lid wall element 14.

[0037] From the Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, which shows the blank 100 for producing the carrying device 10, it can also be seen that the first and second reinforcing tabs 20, 22 have further receiving openings 26, 28 for receiving a further portion of the respective object 12. The further receiving openings 26, 28 are arranged such that, when the cover wall element 14 and the reinforcing tabs 20, 22 abut one another, they are completely aligned with the receiving opening 24 of the cover wall element 14.

[0038] In addition, the Fig. 1 to 3 clearly show that the receiving opening 24 of the cover wall element 14 and the further receiving openings 26, 28 of the first and second reinforcement tabs 20, 22 have a plurality of locking tabs 30, 32, 34 projecting into the respective receiving opening 24, 22, which are also arranged offset from one another in the corresponding receiving openings. This is particularly evident from Fig. 3 clearly.

[0039] It can also be seen that the respective locking tabs 30, 32, 34 form a complete inner ring in the corresponding receiving openings 24, 26, 28. The respective locking tabs 30, 32, 34 are separated from each other in the corresponding receiving openings 24, 26, 28 by cutting lines 36, 38, 40.

[0040] In particular from Fig. 1 shows that a side wall 48, 50 is hinged to the lid wall element 14 approximately perpendicular to the first and second reinforcing tabs 20, 22, wherein the side walls 48, 50 each have connecting tabs 52, 54, 56, 58 for forming a wraparound around the objects 12 accommodated in the carrying package 10. The side walls 48, 50 are hinged to the lid wall element 14 via bending lines 60, 62. The respective connecting tabs 52, 54, 56, 58 are, in particular, glued to one another. However, it is also conceivable to use other types of connection.

[0041] Out of Fig. 2 also shows that the cover wall element 14 and the first and second reinforcing tabs 20, 22 each have handle openings 42, 44, 46 such that, when the cover wall element 14 is folded, they are completely aligned with the first and second reinforcing tabs 20, 22 and form two common handle openings.

[0042] Out of Fig. 3 clearly shows that the locking tabs 30 of the cover wall element 14 are offset relative to the locking tabs 38, 40 of the reinforcement tabs 20, 22 (compare line B - B'). The offset arrangement of the locking tabs 38, 40 relative to the locking tabs 30 results in a significantly improved hold of the objects 12 within the receiving openings 24, 26, 28 and thus within the carrying package 10.

[0043] The Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 show a second embodiment of the carrying device 10 and the design of the corresponding blank 102 for producing the carrying device 10. The structure of the carrying device 10 according to the second embodiment corresponds in essential elements to the structure of the carrying device according to the first embodiment. In contrast to the Fig. In the carrying device shown in Figure 1, intermediate elements 64, 66; 76, 78 are hinged to the reinforcing tabs 20, 22 via bending lines 16a, 18a. The intermediate elements 64, 66; 76, 78 each consist of two grip tabs that can be folded toward one another and lie against one another. The grip tabs each have a grip opening 88, 90 such that, when the grip tabs are folded, the grip openings 88, 90 are completely aligned with one another and form a common grip opening.

[0044] In addition, one can see from Fig. 4, the grip tabs extend beyond the first and second tab elements 68, 80 in the folded state. The first and second tab elements 68, 80 are hinged to the respective intermediate elements 66, 78 via bending lines 96. The intermediate elements 64, 66 are connected to one another via a bending line 94, and the intermediate elements 76, 80 are also connected via a bending line 94. Furthermore, it can be seen that the side walls 70, 82 are connected to the first and second tab elements 68, 82, respectively, via corresponding bending lines 98. The side walls 70, 82 each have connecting tabs 72, 74; 84, 86, which, in the folded state of the blank 102, form a wraparound around the objects 12.

[0045] Furthermore, it can be seen that a reinforcing element 92 is arranged in each of the handle openings 90 of the intermediate elements 66, 76.
