Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a packaging for packaging a packaged product, as well as a container.

[0002] Various packages for packaging goods are known from the prior art, which differ from one another, for example, in their package sizes. Furthermore, packages known from the prior art differ, in particular, in their folding mechanisms for forming the respective package to accommodate a packaged good. For everyday parcel shipping of consumer goods to consumers, for example, cardboard boxes are known which are formed by a substantially flat blank and can be folded into a container to package the packaged good within the container.

[0003] When creating a blank for packaging, a punching die is typically used, against which a packaging material blank is guided to punch the respective blank out of the packaging material blank with repeatable accuracy and produce correspondingly repeatable packaging. Particularly stable packaging, for example, is produced by providing the blank with openings during punching, into which sections designed for engagement can engage when folding the packaging.

[0004] The punching die has sharp cutting elements to punch or cut the blank in a defined manner from the packaging blank.

[0005] When punching the blank in general, and especially when using sharp cutting tools, parts of the packaging material blank can become stuck or jammed in the punching die, for example, between the cutting tools. Furthermore, it can happen that the packaging material to be punched out of the packaging blank is not transported out of the packaging blank and subsequently out of the processing area of ​​the punching machine as intended. This, in turn, can lead to problems during subsequent punching and when assembling blanks for further shipping, which can be associated with machine downtime.

[0006] It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an improved packaging and in particular a packaging with improved stability, which can be produced efficiently and in particular with improved repeatability.

[0007] Furthermore, it is an object of the present invention to provide an improved container for packaging and in particular a container with improved stability, which can be produced efficiently and in particular with improved repeatability.

[0008] The above-described objects are achieved by the subject-matter of the independent claims, certain embodiments are the subject-matter of the dependent claims.

[0009] A first aspect of the invention relates to a packaging for packaging a packaged item, wherein the packaging comprises a substantially flat blank made of a packaging material, which can be formed by folding into a container, in particular a closable container, for the packaged item, wherein the blank comprises: - a bottom portion configured to form a bottom of the package; - a side portion configured to form a side of the container; wherein one of the bottom portion and the side portion has one or more tabs extending from a free edge or a free end, respectively, wherein the free edge or the free end is arranged at a free edge or a free end of the respective one of the bottom portion or side portion having the one or more tabs; wherein the other of the bottom portion and the side portion has one or more cuts in a thickness direction of the blank or in other words in a material thickness direction of the blank, i.e. the substantially flat blank, wherein the one or more incisions are designed to receive the one or more lugs without the one or more lugs penetrating the blank in its thickness direction or material thickness direction.

[0010] A further aspect of the invention relates to a packaging for packaging a packaged item, wherein the packaging comprises a substantially flat blank made of a packaging material, which can be formed by folding into a container, in particular a closable container, for the packaged item, wherein the blank comprises: - a bottom portion which is designed to form a bottom of the packaging, wherein the bottom portion has one or more lugs on a free edge of the bottom portion or in other words on a free end of the bottom portion, which extend from the free edge or from the free end; - a first side portion which is laterally adjacent to the base portion and is designed to form a first side of the container; - a second side portion which is designed to form a second side of the container which is substantially opposite to the first side of the container, wherein the second side portion has one or more incisions in a thickness direction of the blank or in other words in a material thickness direction of the blank, i.e. the substantially flat blank, wherein the one or more incisions are designed to receive the one or more lugs, without the one or more lugs penetrating the second side portion in its thickness direction or material thickness direction, which can in particular correspond to the thickness direction or material thickness direction of the blank.

[0011] A further aspect of the invention relates to a packaging for packaging a packaged item, wherein the packaging comprises a substantially flat blank made of a packaging material, which can be formed by folding into a container, in particular a closable container, for the packaged item, wherein the blank comprises: - a bottom portion which is designed to form a bottom of the packaging, wherein the bottom portion has one or more lugs on a free edge of the bottom portion or in other words on a free end of the bottom portion, which extend from the free edge or from the free end; - a first side portion which is laterally adjacent to the base portion and is designed to form a first side of the container; - a second side portion which is designed to form a second side of the container which is adjacent to the first side of the container, wherein the second side portion has one or more incisions in a thickness direction of the blank or in other words in a material thickness direction of the blank, i.e. the substantially flat blank, wherein the one or more incisions are designed to receive the one or more lugs, without the one or more lugs penetrating the second side portion in its thickness direction or material thickness direction, which can in particular correspond to the thickness direction or material thickness direction of the blank.

[0012] For a further description of the one or more lugs and the one or more incisions, the following essentially describes the case in which the one or more lugs extend from a free edge of the base section and are designed to be received in one or more incisions of the second side section. It is understood that the same applies in particular to the case in which the one or more lugs extend from a free edge of the side section and are designed to be received in one or more incisions of the base section.

[0013] The one or more incisions can be formed as surface sections of the second side section that are at least partially delimited by incision edges, wherein the incision edges extend (only) partially in the thickness direction of the second side section or the blank. Thus, the incision edges should, in particular, not extend completely in the thickness direction through the second side section or the blank.

[0014] In other words, the one or more incisions can be designed in particular such that they are at least partially delimited by one or more scorings or, in other words, by material separations arranged in the relevant, in particular second, side section. In this case, the scorings or material separations can, in particular, extend only partially through the relevant, in particular second, side section. In other words, the scorings or material separations can only partially penetrate the relevant, in particular second, side section, i.e., they cannot (fully) penetrate the relevant, in particular second, side section.

[0015] The incisions thus advantageously allow the lugs to be accommodated without the one or more lugs penetrating the second side section in its thickness direction or material thickness direction.

[0016] The incisions in which the lugs can be accommodated also advantageously enable a stiffening of the container and in particular a stiffening of the container base and the container side wall.

[0017] Furthermore, the incisions advantageously allow for the tabs to be accommodated without the need for openings that would otherwise be required during punching by a punching die. This, in turn, advantageously reduces or eliminates material waste, particularly material waste that could impair subsequent punching of a blank. Likewise, reducing or eliminating material waste can advantageously reduce or eliminate faulty assembly of blanks.

[0018] In the present case, therefore, an improved packaging can be provided which can be produced particularly efficiently and in particular with improved repeatability.

[0019] The blank and in particular the second side portion of the blank may have (exactly) one notch per nose extending from the base portion.

[0020] An incision of the one or more incisions may in particular be designed to receive (each) a nose of the one or more noses.

[0021] An incision of the one or more incisions and a nose of the one or more noses may be complementary to each other.

[0022] The blank may, in particular, have, but is not limited to, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten or more tabs extending from the free edge of the base portion.

[0023] Alternatively or additionally, the cut may include, but is not limited to, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten or more cuts.

[0024] A number of tabs extending from the free edge of the base portion may, in particular, correspond to a number of notches arranged on the second side portion. For example, each notch may be configured to accommodate a respective tab.

[0025] As a result, the container can advantageously be stiffened along a height direction which points from the bottom of the container to a lid or to an upper opening of the container.

[0026] In other exemplary embodiments, more tabs may be arranged on the bottom portion than cuts are arranged on the second side portion.

[0027] For example, one or more incisions can be configured to accommodate multiple tabs. Alternatively or additionally, no incision can be configured on the second side section for some of the one or more tabs. As a result, the part of the tabs for which no incision is provided can be configured to be prestressed, in particular, against the second side section, for example, to press from an inner side of the container against the second side section or against the second side, thereby particularly stiffening the side wall of the container.

[0028] In the following, various terms are used repeatedly, the understanding of which is intended to be facilitated by the following definitions.

[0029] Blank: In this context, a blank means a substantially flat, or in other words planar, foldable element made of a packaging material. A blank particularly describes an element cut from a blank, or in other words from a packaging material blank. The blank can be, without limitation, punched out using a punching die and / or cut with a knife or other cutting tool. The blank is particularly designed to form the packaging and / or the container formed by the packaging without further cutting or punching. The blank is particularly designed to form at least the base and one side wall of the container, and optionally also a lid of the container, without further cutting or punching.

[0030] The blank can be converted into a container, in particular by folding, wherein the container has at least a bottom and a side wall. Optionally, the blank can additionally have a lid portion to form a lid of the container, in particular a closable lid.

[0031] The side wall can, without being limited thereto, be segmented, for example with a first, second, third, and fourth side section, in particular to form a substantially cuboid-shaped container. The side sections, i.e. in particular the segmented side sections, can be separated from one another, in particular by a groove. Alternatively or additionally, a base section adjacent to a side section can be separated from the respective side section by a groove. This advantageously sets and / or facilitates a predetermined folding of the side sections and / or the base sections relative to one another.

[0032] Creasing: Creasing describes a type of creasing commonly found in packaging blanks, such as corrugated cardboard blanks. The creasing is typically formed as a substantially linear depression to facilitate predetermined folding of the sections adjacent to the creasing relative to one another.

[0033] Scoring: A scoring describes a scoring pattern commonly found in packaging blanks, such as corrugated cardboard blanks. The scoring pattern is particularly designed as a substantially linear material weakening, which can extend partially in the thickness direction of the blank. The scoring pattern is particularly a partial separation that only partially penetrates the material of the blank. The scoring pattern is designed to enable a predetermined relative movement of the sections of the blank adjacent to the scoring pattern and / or, for example, to facilitate or ensure a predetermined separation of the sections of the blank adjacent to the scoring pattern.

[0034] Cut: A cut describes a cut commonly used in packaging blanks, such as corrugated cardboard blanks. The cut is typically designed as a substantially linear cut. The cut always extends entirely in the thickness direction of the blank, particularly in comparison to scoring. The cut is designed to separate predetermined sections of the blank from one another, for example, to enable relative movement between these predetermined sections.

[0035] Creasing cut: A creasing cut describes a combination of creasing and cutting. The cut can be interrupted, especially with multiple cutting segments.

[0036] Width direction: In this case, the width direction describes a first direction of the essentially flat blank. In this case, the width direction describes, in particular, a direction of the blank in which a side section and an adjacent base section directly adjoin one another. The width direction can, in particular, run essentially perpendicular to a groove between a side section and an adjacent base section and / or lid section. Furthermore, the width direction can, in particular, run essentially parallel to a groove between a side section and an adjacent side section.

[0037] Longitudinal direction: In this case, the longitudinal direction describes a second direction of the essentially flat blank. The longitudinal direction can, in particular, run essentially perpendicular to the width direction. In this case, the longitudinal direction describes, in particular, a direction of the blank in which a side section and an adjacent further side section directly adjoin one another. The longitudinal direction can, in particular, run essentially parallel to a scoring line between a side section and an adjacent base section and / or lid section. Furthermore, the longitudinal direction can, in particular, run essentially perpendicular to a scoring line between a side section and an adjacent further side section.

[0038] Thickness direction: The thickness direction is also referred to as the material thickness direction and runs in the direction of the material thickness or thickness of the packaging material. For a substantially flat blank, the thickness direction or thickness direction runs essentially perpendicular to the width direction and the length direction.

[0039] When cutting flat, the width direction, the length direction and the material thickness direction can form a right-hand system.

[0040] Flute direction: The term flute refers to the flute of a packaging material that contains or consists of corrugated cardboard. Flute direction is the direction along which the peak and / or trough of the flute essentially extend.

[0041] Counter-flute direction: The counter-flute direction, like the flute direction, refers to the flute of a packaging material that contains or consists of corrugated cardboard. The counter-flute direction is a direction that is essentially perpendicular to the extension of the flute crest and / or trough. The counter-flute direction is essentially perpendicular to the flute direction.

[0042] If in the present case a direction or an angle is described with the addition “essentially” or “approximately” or “approximately”, this addition is generally intended to mean or be understood to mean, in particular, a deviation from the direction or angle in question in the range from 0° to 5°.

[0043] Where a spatial measure, a spatial ratio or any other ratio is described with the addition ‘essentially’ or ‘approximately’ or ‘approximately’, this addition shall mean or be understood to mean, in particular, a deviation from the measure or ratio in question in the range of 0% to 10%.

[0044] In exemplary embodiments of the packaging, the one or more tabs may be configured to abut against at least one cut edge of the one or more cuts.

[0045] By having one or more lugs rest on at least one cut edge, the container can be advantageously stiffened.

[0046] For example, each lug of the one or more lugs may be configured to abut one or more notch edges of a notch of the one or more notches.

[0047] The at least one notch edge designed to accommodate the one or more tabs can, in particular, run substantially in the longitudinal direction of the blank. Alternatively or additionally, the at least one notch edge designed to accommodate the one or more tabs can, in particular, run substantially in the width direction of the blank.

[0048] An incision edge of the at least one incision edge can, in particular, extend substantially flatly, wherein the substantially flat extension is defined in particular by a longitudinal direction and a thickness direction of the blank. Alternatively or additionally, an incision edge of the at least one incision edge can, in particular, extend substantially flatly, wherein the substantially flat extension is defined in particular by a width direction and a thickness direction of the blank.

[0049] The longitudinal direction may extend substantially parallel to a boundary and in particular substantially parallel to a groove at which the base portion and the first side portion adjoin one another.

[0050] The width direction may be substantially perpendicular to a boundary and in particular substantially perpendicular to a groove at which the base portion and the first side portion adjoin one another.

[0051] The thickness direction runs essentially in the direction of the material thickness of the blank, or in other words essentially in the direction of the material thickness of the packaging material.

[0052] For the exemplary case of a substantially cuboid-shaped container, a cut-out edge designed to accommodate a nose can run substantially transversely to a vertical direction of the container, i.e., substantially transversely to a direction between the base and lid or the base and opening of the container. This corresponds to a cut-out edge with a substantially flat extension in the longitudinal direction and in the thickness direction of the blank.

[0053] Furthermore, for the exemplary case of a substantially cuboid-shaped container, a cut-out edge designed to accommodate a nose can run substantially parallel to a vertical direction of the container, i.e., substantially parallel to a direction between the base and lid or the base and opening of the container. This corresponds to a cut-out edge with a substantially flat extension in the width direction and in the thickness direction of the blank.

[0054] While the cut edge running transversely to the height direction of the container advantageously enables stiffening of the container in the height direction, the cut edge parallel to the height direction advantageously enables stiffening of the container transversely to the height direction.

[0055] In exemplary embodiments of the packaging, the one or more lugs can be designed to fix the bottom portion of the container relative to the second side portion by engaging in the one or more incisions, in particular to fix it in a bottom position of the container, in particular to fix it reversibly.

[0056] This advantageously stiffens the base of the container. Furthermore, handling of the container can be facilitated, preventing the base from accidentally opening while simultaneously ensuring a particularly reversible return, for example, by guiding the tabs out of the notches.

[0057] The one or more incisions can be arranged on or in a region of the second side section that, when the package is folded into a container, borders the bottom of the container, i.e., the bottom section. If a second bottom section is connected to the second side section directly adjacent to the second side section, the one or more incisions can be arranged on or in a region of the second side section that borders a boundary between the second side section and the second bottom section. As a result, the bottom section can advantageously be fixed in a bottom position by means of the lugs.

[0058] A cut of the one or more cuts may, for example, be bounded substantially on one, two, three or four sides by a cut or by a cut edge relative to the adjacent areas of the second side portion, without being limited thereto.

[0059] In particular, an incision of the one or more incisions can be circumferentially delimited by a cut or by an incision edge relative to the adjacent regions of the second side section.

[0060] In particular, one of the one or more incisions may be substantially rectangular. In other words, one of the one or more incisions may be substantially rectangular in a plane spanned substantially by the longitudinal direction and the width direction.

[0061] An incision of the one or more incisions can be delimited in particular on four sides by a cut or by an incision edge relative to the adjacent regions of the second side section.

[0062] In further exemplary embodiments, an incision of the one or more incisions can be bordered on three sides by a cut or by a cut edge relative to the adjacent regions of the second side section. Optionally, a fourth side can additionally be bordered by a free edge of the second side section or a boundary of the second side section towards a second base section.

[0063] The one or more incision edges of an incision of the one or more incisions are designed in particular to fix the bottom section as the bottom of the container, i.e. to fix the bottom section in particular in the vertical direction of the container and / or laterally.

[0064] An incision edge of the at least one incision edge is in particular designed to protrude in the thickness direction relative to the incision.

[0065] In exemplary embodiments of the packaging, the base section can be designed to form the base of the container. The base section can, in particular, form a substantially continuous base of the container. The base section can, in particular, form an inner base, i.e., a base facing the inside of the container.

[0066] This can advantageously improve the transport of packaged goods.

[0067] The base section can, in particular, be designed to form the base of the container as a single base section. Alternatively, the base section can be designed to form the base of the container together with additional base sections. The additional base sections can each adjoin further side sections in addition to the first side section.

[0068] While the individual base section advantageously enables a weight reduction of the container, the additional base sections advantageously enable additional stiffening of the base of the container.

[0069] The further base sections can in particular form an outer base, i.e. a base facing the outside of the container, with which the container is designed, for example, to touch a storage surface in a normal use position of the container.

[0070] In further exemplary embodiments, the base section can be configured to form only part of an inner base of the packaging. The base section can therefore be configured to form an inner base of the packaging with one or more, for example, with one further, two further, three further, or four further base sections. One or more of the further base sections can have one or more lugs on a free edge of the one or more further base sections, which lugs extend from the free edge.

[0071] The base section and the further base sections can, in particular, be designed to each form only a portion of the base surface of the bottom of the packaging, or in other words, to comprise only a portion of the base surface of the bottom of the packaging. The base surface is understood to be the surface of the base facing the packaging, i.e., an inner side of the packaging.

[0072] The floor section and one or more of the further floor sections can in particular be designed to form or, in other words, have approximately half a floor, i.e. half a floor area of ​​the floor.

[0073] In addition to the first and second side portions, the blank may have one or more further side portions, for example one or two further side portions, wherein the one or more further side portions may have one or more incisions in a thickness direction of the blank or, in other words, in a material thickness direction of the blank, i.e., of the substantially planar blank. The one or more incisions of the one or more further side portions may be configured to receive the one or more lugs of the further base portions, in particular without the one or more lugs penetrating the further side portion(s) in its or their thickness direction or material thickness direction, which may in particular correspond to the thickness direction or material thickness direction of the blank.

[0074] In exemplary embodiments of the packaging, the bottom portion may comprise a substantially flat and in particular form a wrinkle-free base or in particular have a folded edge, for example formed by a creasing cut.

[0075] The fold edge, which is particularly designed as a crease cut, can in particular delimit a first bottom flap from the remaining bottom section. The first bottom flap can in particular be foldable relative to the remaining bottom section along the fold edge.

[0076] The wrinkle-free base means in particular a base which has no folding edge and in particular no scoring and / or creasing.

[0077] The folding edge may run obliquely to the longitudinal direction and / or the width direction, in particular in order to separate the first bottom flap from the remaining bottom section.

[0078] While the wrinkle-free base advantageously improves the storage comfort for the packaged goods and in particular prevents unwanted creases from being pressed into the packaged goods, the folding edge advantageously enables the base section to be provided with a predetermined folding mechanism, for example for folding into the container.

[0079] In exemplary embodiments, the second side section may have a reduced wall thickness in the region of the one or more incisions, in particular a wall thickness of less than approximately 90%, preferably less than approximately 80%, more preferably less than approximately 70%, even more preferably less than approximately 60% of a wall thickness of the second side section, that is to say in particular a nominal wall thickness of the second side section.

[0080] In other words, the one or more incisions may be formed with a reduced wall thickness compared to the regions of the second side section adjacent to the one or more incisions.

[0081] The nominal wall thickness of the second side section can be a different wall thickness of the second side section, i.e., in particular, a wall thickness of the second side section in which no features that reduce the wall thickness, such as grooves and / or scoring, are present or incorporated. The nominal wall thickness of the second side section can essentially correspond to the wall thickness of the packaging material, in particular the wall thickness of a packaging material blank, i.e., before cutting or punching for cutting.

[0082] In principle, one of the one or more incisions may have a reduced wall thickness relative to the regions of the second side section adjacent to the incision.

[0083] The one or more incisions can have a reduced wall thickness compared to the adjacent areas of the second side section, in particular by means of a compression of packaging material.

[0084] The reduced wall thickness compared to the adjacent areas or the remaining second side section advantageously ensures that the one or more tabs are received in the one or more notches when folding to form the container.

[0085] In particular, the incision with the reduced wall thickness allows the incision edge(s) adjacent to the incision to protrude in the thickness direction relative to the incision. This, in turn, allows the one or more lugs to be advantageously and reliably guided to at least one incision edge and / or to securely engage with the at least one incision edge.

[0086] In exemplary embodiments of the package, and without limitation, the packaging material may comprise or consist of corrugated cardboard.

[0087] The corrugated cardboard can in particular have at least one upper cover layer, a lower cover layer and a flute which is arranged between the upper and the lower cover layer.

[0088] The combination of flute and cover layers in corrugated cardboard advantageously allows for an easy reduction in the wall thickness of one or more cuts, while at the same time sliding along the cover layers when folding the container ensures easy and repeatable folding into the container.

[0089] Furthermore, the corrugated cardboard advantageously enables a direction-related design of the container, in particular a direction-related simplification of folding, as well as a direction-related stiffening of the container.

[0090] In exemplary embodiments of the package, and without limitation, the one or more tabs may extend substantially in a direction with the wave from the free edge.

[0091] As a result, the one or more lugs can advantageously be made rigid in their direction of extension or, in other words, in the direction in which they extend from the free edge.

[0092] In exemplary embodiments of the package, a distal end of the one or more tabs may extend substantially in a direction against the shaft.

[0093] This advantageously allows the distal end of one or more lugs to be rigidly formed, ensuring, in particular, a rigid contact with an incision edge, or in other words, a rigid engagement with the incision. This, in turn, advantageously allows the base to be rigidly fixed in the base position and the container to be stiffened.

[0094] In exemplary embodiments of the packaging, the one or more tabs may have a crease or a crease cut at an end facing the base portion.

[0095] The creasing or scoring cut can, in particular, run substantially parallel to the distal end of a respective one of the one or more lugs. The creasing or scoring can, in particular, run substantially in a direction opposite the shaft, or in other words, substantially perpendicular to the shaft.

[0096] The grooving or scoring at an end of a respective nose facing the base portion advantageously enables a predetermined folding of the nose relative to the base portion, in particular when folding towards the container.

[0097] As a result, the distal end of each nose can be brought into abutment with a cutting edge in a particularly advantageous manner, which in turn advantageously stiffens the base and the container.

[0098] The creasing or the creasing of the creasing cut at the end of a respective nose facing the base portion may in particular have a smaller depth than any other creasing of the blank, in particular a smaller depth than a creasing between the base portion and the first side portion.

[0099] Due to the comparatively shallow groove at the end of the nose facing the base section, a comparatively large force for folding the nose relative to the base section can advantageously be set. In other words, one of the one or more noses advantageously provides a comparatively high restoring force against folding relative to the base section due to the groove at its end facing the base section. Colloquially, the nose bends less easily toward the base section.

[0100] The groove at the end of a nose of the one or more noses facing the base section can, for example, have a depth of approximately 0.15 mm to approximately 0.5 mm, in particular of approximately 0.2 mm to approximately 0.4 mm.

[0101] The grooving may have a depth in the range of about 15% to about 35%, in particular about 20% to about 30% of the material thickness of the blank.

[0102] In exemplary embodiments, a depth of the creasing may be formed depending on the folding process of the package.

[0103] For corrugated cardboard with a comparatively thin material thickness, for example, for advantageous lightweight packaging, an E-flute, which is approximately 1.5 mm thick, can have a crease depth in the range of approximately 0.3 mm to approximately 0.5 mm. For a B-flute, which is approximately 3 mm thick, the crease depth can range from approximately 0.6 mm to approximately 0.9 mm.

[0104] In the case of corrugated cardboard with a comparatively thick material thickness, for example for advantageously strong and rigid packaging, the creasing depth in a BC flute, which is about 7 mm thick, can range from about 1.4 to about 2.0 mm.

[0105] As a result, one of the one or more noses can advantageously be provided with a pre-tension for engaging in the one or more incisions, whereby the container can advantageously be further stiffened in a simple manner.

[0106] In alternative embodiments, a transition between the base portion and the nose of the one or more noses may be formed without grooving or scoring.

[0107] This is particularly suitable for noses with a comparatively short extension from the ground section.

[0108] A nose of the one or more noses, which extends in particular without grooving or grooving from the free edge of the base portion, can, for example, have an extension in the direction of extension from the base portion of approximately 1.0 mm to approximately 5.0 mm, in particular of approximately 1.5 mm to approximately 4.5 mm, preferably of approximately 2.0 mm to approximately 4.0 mm.

[0109] A nose of the one or more noses, which extends from the free edge of the base section, in particular without grooving or scoring, can in particular have an extension in the direction of extension from the base section that is smaller than a material thickness of the blank. The extension in the direction of extension can in particular correspond to approximately 50% to approximately 90%, preferably approximately 60% to approximately 80%, of the material thickness of the blank.

[0110] Due to a comparatively short extension of the nose, the nose can advantageously be made stiff and enables a stiffening procedure with an incision or an incision edge in a particularly simple manner, especially without folding the nose to align the distal end of the nose with respect to the incision or the incision edge.

[0111] In exemplary embodiments of the packaging, the one or more incisions can be made without removing any material. In other words, the one or more incisions can be made without removing any material, i.e., without removing any packaging material, when cutting the packaging material.

[0112] This advantageously prevents material waste during the production of the cuts, which could potentially impair subsequent cutting processes or the assembly of the respective or subsequent packaging. Thus, the packaging can be manufactured with repeatability and, above all, efficiency, thereby improving the rigidity of the container to be formed.

[0113] It is understood that the absence of material removal does not exclude the removal of material with a thickness in the sub-millimeter range, for example due to friction or slight removal by a knife or blade.

[0114] The second side portion may have substantially the same weight before and after the introduction or, in other words, formation of the one or more incisions.

[0115] In exemplary embodiments of the packaging, the one or more incisions can be formed by a scoring and optionally additionally by a pressing in the direction of the material thickness. The pressing can, in particular, be directly adjacent to the scoring.

[0116] The scoring advantageously enables the formation of an incision edge along the scoring, so that the incision at the incision edge is movable relative to the region of the second side section adjacent to the incision.

[0117] The pressing advantageously allows for a reduction in the wall thickness of the cutout relative to the area of ​​the second side section adjacent to the cutout. This, in turn, makes it possible to ensure that a nose is guided to the cutout edge and / or that the nose rests against the cutout edge.

[0118] If the packaging material comprises corrugated cardboard or another material with a filler arranged between two cover layers, the wave or the filler in the region of the incision can have a reduced dimension in the thickness direction of the packaging material compared to adjacent regions of the second side section.

[0119] The scoring and / or pressing advantageously ensure that the incision is formed with essentially no material removal. This advantageously allows the packaging or the container to be formed by the packaging to be stiffened with repeatable precision and, in particular, enables efficient production.

[0120] In exemplary embodiments of the packaging, a cut or a scoring for forming the incision can have a depth of at least about 40%, preferably of at least about 60%, more preferably of at least about 75% of the material thickness of the second side section, i.e. the material thickness in a region of the second side section that is in particular adjacent to the one or more incisions.

[0121] In further exemplary embodiments of the packaging, a cut or scoring for forming the incision may have a depth at which approximately everything except a cover layer of the packaging material of the second side portion is severed.

[0122] The non-cut cover layer is in particular a cover layer of the second side section facing an outer side of the container or, in other words, a lower cover layer.

[0123] Due to the respective cutting depth, the incision can advantageously be easily deformed relative to the area of ​​the second side section adjacent to the incision and can be easily compressed, for example, to reduce the wall thickness. Furthermore, a nose can advantageously engage, or in other words, come into contact with, an incision edge easily and, in particular, with a comparatively large overlap.

[0124] In exemplary embodiments, the packaging can be designed with an automatic bottom, in particular such that the bottom section of the packaging, starting from a pre-assembled state of the packaging, can be automatically folded into a position predetermined for the bottom of the container by unfolding the side sections into a predetermined position, i.e. in particular by unfolding four side sections.

[0125] This advantageously enables automatic folding, i.e., in particular, a predetermined folding of the base section with the one or more tabs. The tabs can, in particular, automatically engage, or in other words, come into contact with, the one or more notches or the one or more notch edges when the side sections are unfolded into a predetermined position.

[0126] In exemplary embodiments, the predetermined position can be a position in which the first side section and the second side section are arranged substantially parallel and opposite one another. In further exemplary embodiments, the predetermined position can be a position in which the first side section and the second side section are adjacent to one another substantially perpendicularly, i.e., in particular, directly adjacent to one another. In other words, the predetermined position when unfolding the side sections can be, in particular, a position which, due to the four side sections, essentially corresponds to a cuboid shape, i.e., in particular, a position in which the side sections are folded substantially rectangularly in plan view.

[0127] Since the volume of the container has to be formed anyway in order to arrange a packaged item therein, the transfer of the side sections into a position suitable for receiving a packaged item advantageously enables the automatic formation of the base of the container with a corresponding reception of the one or more lugs in the one or more cuts.

[0128] In exemplary embodiments of the packaging, the packaging can be designed with a predefined folding mechanism for forming the container, in which the one or more tabs press or are pressed against the second side section, in particular when folding to form the container starting from the blank.

[0129] Pressing the one or more lugs against the second side section in the predefined folding mechanism advantageously facilitates the handling and the formation of the container, wherein the one or more lugs fold automatically at least partially relative to the base section, in particular along grooves which are arranged at an end of the respective lug facing the base section.

[0130] This, in turn, advantageously simplifies handling when folding the blank into the container. In particular, a respective distal end of the one or more tabs can be automatically aligned, at least partially, to engage the one or more incisions or to rest against the one or more incision edges. Starting with the repeatable production of a blank, this advantageously enables the repeatable formation of the container based on the blank.

[0131] In exemplary embodiments of the packaging, the second side portion can be connected to the first side portion by means of a third side portion which is designed to form a third side of the container, and a fourth side portion which is designed to form a fourth side of the container, which is arranged substantially opposite the third side of the container, can be connected to the first side portion or to the second side portion.

[0132] In further exemplary embodiments of the packaging, the second side section can be directly connected to the first side section. The blank can furthermore have a third side section which is designed to form a third side of the container, which is arranged substantially opposite the first side of the container, in particular arranged substantially parallel opposite it. Alternatively or additionally, the blank can have a fourth side section which is designed to form a fourth side of the container, which is arranged substantially opposite the second side of the container, in particular arranged substantially parallel opposite it. The third side section can be connected to the first or second side section.The fourth side section may be connected to the third side section or to the first side section or second side section.

[0133] The cut-out can therefore in particular have a third and fourth side section in addition to the first and second side section.

[0134] This makes it easy to form an essentially cuboid-shaped container by cutting it to size.

[0135] In exemplary embodiments of the package, the bottom portion may be a first bottom portion, and it may a second floor section with the second side section, a third floor section with the third side section and a fourth bottom section may be connected to the fourth side section, wherein the (first, second, third and fourth) bottom sections may be configured to form a multi-layer bottom of the container.

[0136] The blank can therefore in particular have a second, third and / or fourth base section in addition to the (first) base section.

[0137] The first base section can in particular be the inner base, i.e. a base facing the inside of the container.

[0138] The additional base sections advantageously enable a further stiffening of the container and can additionally contribute to the formation of a predetermined folding mechanism.

[0139] In exemplary embodiments of the packaging, in a pre-assembled state of the packaging, one of the third and fourth base sections can be joined, for example, glued, to the first base section. The other of the third and fourth base sections can be joined, for example, glued, to the second base section. Optionally, the fourth side section can additionally be joined, for example, glued, to that of the first side section and the second side section to which it is not connected, in particular by means of a delimiting crease.

[0140] As a result, the packaging can advantageously be designed with a predetermined folding mechanism, wherein, in particular, by folding the side sections into a predetermined shape, the respective base sections can be automatically formed into a rigid base of the container. The first base section can form a substantially continuous inner base of the container.

[0141] A further aspect of the present invention relates to a container which is formed at least partially from a package according to the aspect relating to the package, wherein the one or more tabs are received in the one or more cuts.

[0142] The aspect and the embodiments as well as their respective effect, as explained with reference to the present packaging, relate equally to the container, and vice versa.

[0143] Embodiments of the invention are described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying figures. It is understood that the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and that individual features of the embodiments can be combined to form further embodiments within the scope of the appended claims.

[0144] It shows: Fig. 1 a blank of a package according to an embodiment; Fig. 2 a blank of a package according to another embodiment; Fig. 3a, Fig. 3b and Fig. 3c a sketched sectional view of sections XX, YY, ZZ, as shown in the Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 marked; Fig. 4 different states of a package when folding into a container, according to an embodiment; Fig. 5 a blank of a package according to another embodiment; Fig. 6a, Fig. 6b and Fig. 6c a sketched sectional view of sections XX, YY, ZZ, as in Fig. 5 is shown.

[0145] Fig. 1 shows a blank 5 of a packaging 1 according to an embodiment.

[0146] Fig. 2 shows a blank 5 of a packaging 1 according to a further embodiment.

[0147] As through the Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 shown blanks 5 of a respective packaging 1 essentially in a design for forming a lid of the container 100 or essentially in a design of the lid sections 71, 72, 73, 74. Unless otherwise stated, statements regarding the cutting of the Fig. 1 therefore analogous for the cutting of the Fig. 2, and vice versa.

[0148] Fig. 3a, Fig. 3b and Fig. 3c show a sketched sectional view of sections YY, XX and ZZ, as shown in the Fig. 1 and Fig. 2. These statements regarding sections YY, XX and ZZ apply to both Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 analogue.

[0149] Fig. Figure 4 shows various states of a package 1 during folding into a container 100 according to the aforementioned embodiments. States (A) and (B) represent states of the package 1 that do not yet correspond to a fully formed container 100, which is designed to accommodate a packaged item in the intended manner. State (C) represents the package 1 folded into the container 100.

[0150] The Fig. 4 shown packaging 1 or the one in Fig. The container 100 shown in Figure 4 is shown without a lid by way of example, but in exemplary embodiments it can have a lid which can be formed, for example, by one or more of the lid sections 71, 72, 73, 74 of a blank 5, such as in one of the Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and Fig. 5 shown, be formed.

[0151] In other words, the container 100 can in particular be a sealable container 100, for example for shipping a packaged item by a sender.

[0152] As in the Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and Fig. 5, one or more of the lid sections 71, 72, 73, 74 can have a container opening means 76. The container opening means 76 can, in particular, be designed to enable a user to open and / or close and / or reclose the container 100 in a predetermined manner.

[0153] As in the Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the blank 5 of the packaging 1 has, in particular, a first base section 51 for forming a base 90 of the container 100. The blank 5 can have the first base section 51 as a single base section 51 or a plurality of base sections 51, 52, 53, 54. For example, the blank 5 can have the first base section 51 and optionally additionally a second base section 52, a third base section 53 and / or a fourth base section 54 for forming the base 90 of the container 100.

[0154] As in the Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and Fig. 4, the first bottom section 51 can be designed in particular to form a substantially continuous bottom 90 of the container 100, so that a packaged item can be arranged flat on the bottom 90 or the first bottom section 51 within the container 100.

[0155] The first base section 51 can therefore be designed in particular to form an inner base of the container 100, that is to say a base 90 which is formed on an inner side of the container 100, for example corresponding to an inner side of a container 100, as in Fig. 4 shown.

[0156] The second, third and / or fourth bottom section 52, 53, 54 can form an outer bottom of the container 100, i.e. a bottom 90, which is formed on an outer side of the container 100, for example corresponding to a bottom side of a container 100, as in Fig. 4 shown.

[0157] As in the Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and Fig. As shown in Figure 4, a plurality of lugs 20 are arranged on the first base portion 51. As an exemplary embodiment, three lugs 20 are shown. It is understood that in further exemplary embodiments, the blank 5 may have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, or more lugs 20 arranged on the first base portion 51, and in particular on an edge 24 of the first base portion 51 that is substantially free in the width direction B.

[0158] In the following, a plurality of tabs 20 is mentioned by way of example. It is understood that a particular embodiment of a package 1 or a container 100 may have a different number of tabs 20, as explained above.

[0159] The free edge 24 of the first base portion 51 can, in particular, extend substantially parallel to a boundary between the first base portion 51 and the first side portion 61, which directly adjoins the first base portion 51. The first base portion 51 and the first side portion 61 can, in particular, have a groove 8 at their common boundary.

[0160] As in the Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and Fig. 4, the lugs 20 extend in particular substantially along the width direction B from the free edge 24 of the first base portion 51.

[0161] As in the Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the lugs 20 may each have a distal end 22 which extends substantially along the longitudinal direction L.

[0162] The longitudinal direction L is, as shown in the Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3a, Fig. 3b and Fig. 3c, substantially perpendicular to the width direction B. A thickness direction M or in other words material thickness direction M, as shown in the Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3a, Fig. 3b and Fig. 3c, is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction L and substantially perpendicular to the width direction B. The longitudinal direction L and the width direction B represent exemplary directions along which the substantially flat, or in other words, substantially planar, blank 5 extends. The material thickness direction M runs in the direction of the material thickness of a packaging material from which the blank 5 is formed and, in particular, cut.

[0163] The directions shown in the figures are intended to illustrate the relative arrangement of the sections of the packaging 1 to one another.

[0164] The longitudinal direction L, width direction B and material thickness direction M shown in the figures form in particular a right-hand system.

[0165] A nose 20 of the one or more noses 20 can have an extension in the longitudinal direction L in the range of about 2 cm to about 10 cm, in particular in the range of about 3 cm to about 8 cm.

[0166] A nose 20 of the one or more noses 20 can have an extension in the width direction B in the range of approximately 2.0 mm to approximately 12.0 mm, for example in the range of approximately 2.5 mm to approximately 9.0 mm, in particular in the range of approximately 3.0 mm to approximately 7.0 mm.

[0167] As a result, the respective lugs 20 can advantageously be made rigid and at the same time, when folded into the container 100, ensure a force transmission between the second side section 62 and the first bottom section 51.

[0168] The one in the Fig. 1 and Fig. The blank 5 shown in Figure 2 extends essentially flat. Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 is accordingly in particular an unfolded, flat or in other words planar state of the packaging 1. This state differs in particular from those as in Fig. 4, in which the package 1 is partially folded (see 4(A) and 4(B)), as well as in which the package 1 is folded into the container 100 (see 4(C)). The Fig. 4 may, without being limited to, all refer to the same packaging 1.

[0169] The lugs 20 can extend from the free edge 24 of the first base section 51, in particular with a length along the width direction B, which is approximately a single-digit multiple of the wall thickness of the first base section 51, which can correspond to the wall thickness of the second side section 62.

[0170] The lugs 20 can, without being limited thereto, have in particular a length of about 1 mm to about 20 mm in the width direction B, preferably a length of about 1 mm to about 15 mm, more preferably a length of about 2 mm to about 10 mm, and even more preferably a length of about 3 mm to about 8 mm.

[0171] The noses 20 can therefore advantageously be made rigid.

[0172] The wall thickness of the first base section 51 can be approximately 1.0 mm to approximately 3.0 mm. The wall thickness of the first base section 51 can essentially correspond to the wall thickness of the lugs 20. Alternatively or additionally, the wall thickness of the first base section 51 can correspond to the wall thickness of the second side section 61, except for the one or more incisions 30.

[0173] It is understood that the packaging 1 is scalable in size and the blank 5 may have a wall thickness different from the examples mentioned above.

[0174] As in the Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the packaging 1 has a first side section 61 adjacent to the first bottom section 51 along the width direction B and can optionally again have a first lid section 71 adjacent to the first side section 61 along the width direction B.

[0175] The first side section 61 is in particular designed to form a first side 91 of the container 100, as in Fig. 4 shown.

[0176] A third side section 63 is connected in the longitudinal direction L to the first side section 61 and is particularly designed to form a third side 93 of the container 100, as shown in Fig. 4. A boundary between the first and third side sections 61, 63 can, in particular, run substantially parallel to the width direction B and can, for example, have a groove 8.

[0177] The creasing 8, especially each groove in the Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3a, Fig. 3b and Fig. 3c shown creasing 8, creasing 7, scoring 13, creasing cut 9 and / or cut 11 is arranged in particular on a side of the blank 5, which the viewer can see when viewing the Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, or on a side of a top side, and in particular on a side of an upper cover layer 3, as in the Fig. 3a, Fig. 3b and Fig. 3c. This corresponds to an inner side of the container 100 or the packaging 1 or a side facing a packaged item to be received, as in Fig. 4 (where no packaging is shown in this case).

[0178] A third cover section 73 can optionally be arranged adjacent to the third side section 63 in the width direction B. A third base section 53 can optionally be arranged adjacent to the third side section 63 opposite the width direction B.

[0179] As in the Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the packaging 1 has a second side section 62 adjacent to the third side section 63 in the longitudinal direction L and can optionally have a second lid section 72 adjacent to the second side section 62 in the width direction B and / or a second bottom section 52 adjacent to the second side section 62 opposite to the width direction B.

[0180] The second side portion 62 is particularly designed to form a second side 92 of the container 100, as shown in Fig. 4. The second side 92 is formed in the state as a package 1 folded into the container 100, in particular as a side substantially opposite the first side 91.

[0181] A boundary between the second and third side sections 62, 63 can in particular run substantially parallel to the width direction B and can, for example, have a groove 8.

[0182] As in the Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the packaging 1 can also have a fourth side section 64, which can be arranged in the longitudinal direction L adjacent to the second side section 62 or opposite to the longitudinal direction L adjacent to the first side section 61.

[0183] The fourth side portion 64 is particularly designed to form a fourth side 94 of the container 100, as shown in Fig. 4. The fourth side 94 is formed in the state as a package 1 folded into the container 100, in particular as a side substantially opposite the third side 93.

[0184] Optionally, the packaging 1 can have a fourth lid section 74 adjacent to the fourth side section 64 in the width direction B and / or a fourth bottom section 54 adjacent to the fourth side section 64 opposite to the width direction B.

[0185] As in the Fig. 1 and Fig. As further shown in Figure 2, at one end of the blank 5 in or opposite to the longitudinal direction L, one of the side sections 61, 62, 63, 64 can have a side flap 67, by means of which the two side sections 61, 62, 63, 64, which are arranged at the front and rear ends of the blank 5 in the longitudinal direction L, can be joined to one another, for example by gluing or by another joining method. As a result, the side sections 61, 62, 63, 64 can advantageously be joined to a prefabricated state, which facilitates folding the packaging 1 into the container 100.

[0186] In the Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 shows three sections XX, YY and ZZ.

[0187] The section XX represents a sketched section through the first base section 51, wherein the section runs essentially parallel to the longitudinal direction L or, in other words, is characterized by a plane which is essentially spanned by the longitudinal direction L and the material thickness direction M. The section XX is shown as an exemplary sketch to illustrate the layers of a corrugated cardboard as an exemplary packaging material in Fig. 3a.

[0188] The section YY represents a sketched section in particular through the second side section 62 as well as through the regions of the third side section 63 and the side flap 67 which are adjacent in the longitudinal direction L, for example, wherein the section runs essentially parallel to the longitudinal direction L, or in other words is characterized by a plane which is essentially spanned by the longitudinal direction L and the material thickness direction M. The section YY is shown as an exemplary sketch to illustrate the incisions 30 using the example of corrugated cardboard as packaging material in Fig. 3b.

[0189] The section ZZ represents a sketched section, in particular through the second side section 62, as well as through the exemplary adjacent regions in the width direction of the second lid section 62 and the second base section 52, wherein the section runs substantially parallel to the width direction B or, in other words, is characterized by a plane which is substantially spanned by the width direction B and the material thickness direction M. The section ZZ is shown as an exemplary sketch to illustrate the incisions 30 using the example of corrugated cardboard as packaging material in Fig. 3c.

[0190] As through the Fig. 1, 2 and 3a to 3c, the packaging 1 can in particular comprise or consist of corrugated cardboard as packaging material.

[0191] The blank 5 of the packaging 1 can in particular be designed such that the width direction B is substantially parallel to a direction with the wave MdW and / or the longitudinal direction L is substantially parallel to a direction against the wave.

[0192] For the exemplary case that the packaging 1 comprises or consists of corrugated cardboard as packaging material, as in Fig. As shown by way of example in Figure 3a, the lugs 20 can extend from the free edge 24 essentially parallel to a direction with the shaft MdW. As a result, the lugs 20 are advantageously designed to be rigid. In particular, the lugs 20 are advantageously designed to be rigid against rotation or folding about an imaginary axis that runs essentially parallel to the longitudinal direction L.

[0193] The lugs 20 can therefore advantageously be designed with a comparatively high restoring force, particularly in comparison to a case in which the lugs 20 extend in a direction opposite the shaft GdW from the free edge 24 of the first base section 51. In other words, the lugs 20 can advantageously be designed with a comparatively high restoring force against folding around an end of the lugs 20 facing the first base section 51.

[0194] As in the Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the lugs 20 can have a groove 7 at an end facing the first base section 51 in order to prevent a predefined bending of the lugs 20, for example when the lugs 20 are pressed against the second side section 62, such as in state (B) of Fig. 4. The creasing 7 is formed in particular on an upper cover layer 3 of the packaging 1 or the blank 5.

[0195] The creasing 7 has a smaller depth compared to other creasings 8 of the blank 5, which are formed, for example, as creasing 8 between two adjacent side sections 61, 62, 63, 64 and / or between two adjacent side and base sections 51, 52, 53, 54, 61, 62, 63, 64.

[0196] As a result, the lugs 20 can be provided with a comparatively high restoring force to prevent folding around the groove 7. This, in turn, ensures a high degree of overlap when a cut edge 32 of a cut 30 and one or more lugs 20 are in contact, so that the lugs 20 can be rigidly received in the cuts 30 and the first base portion 51 can be securely fixed in a base position of the container 100.

[0197] A respective distal end of the noses 20 can, as shown by the Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and Fig. 3a, run in a direction against the shaft GdW or in other words span essentially in a direction against the shaft GdW and a material thickness direction M.

[0198] Analogous to Fig. 3a, when looking at a respective distal end 22 of the lugs 20 in the width direction, the shaft 2, as in Fig. 3a. Accordingly, the lugs 20 are designed to be comparatively stiff under a load in the width direction or a load in a direction with the shaft MdW relative to a load in a direction against the shaft GdW.

[0199] In the Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and Fig. 3a also shows the optional configuration of the first base section 51 with a first base flap 56. The first base flap 56 is formed, in particular, as part of the first base section 51 and can be separated from the remaining base section 51, in particular, by a grooved cut 9.

[0200] As in the Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the crease cut 9 can run substantially diagonally relative to the longitudinal direction L and / or the width direction B. As a result, the first bottom flap 56 can be joined, for example adhesively, to the fourth bottom section 54 in order to ensure a folding mechanism of the side sections 61, 62, 63, 64 and / or the bottom sections 51, 52, 53, 54 relative to one another, in particular to form an automatic bottom.

[0201] As through the Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3b and Fig. As shown in Figure 3c, the packaging 1 may have one or more incisions 30 and, without being limited thereto, in particular a number of incisions 30 corresponding to the number of lugs 20.

[0202] As an exemplary embodiment, three incisions 30 are shown. It is understood that in further exemplary embodiments, the blank 5 may have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, or more incisions 30 arranged or formed on or in the second side portion 62.

[0203] In the following, a plurality of incisions 30 is mentioned by way of example. It is understood that a particular embodiment of a package 1 or a container 100 may have a different number of incisions 30, as explained above.

[0204] As through the Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the incisions 30 can be arranged or formed in particular in the region of an end of the second side section 62, which end adjoins the second bottom section 52 and / or, in a state as a container 100, the first bottom section 51.

[0205] The incisions 30 can in particular be designed as flat sections which are at least partially delimited along their circumference by an incision edge 32 from the region of the second side section 62 adjacent to the respective incision 30, and in particular are lowered compared to a different or nominal wall thickness t1 of the second side section 62.

[0206] As through the Fig. 3b and Fig. 3c, the incisions 30 can in particular be substantially lowered on one side with respect to their wall thickness t2 compared to a wall thickness t1 of the region of the second side section 62 adjacent to the respective incision 30.

[0207] In other words, and as shown by the Fig. 3b and Fig. 3c, the incisions 30 can in particular have a reduced wall thickness t2, that is to say in particular a reduced wall thickness t2 relative to a region of the second side section 62 adjacent to the respective incision 30.

[0208] The wall thickness t2 of the incisions 30 is less than or equal to the wall thickness t1 of a region of the second side section 62 which borders the respective incision 30.

[0209] An incision 30 of the one or more incisions 30 can in particular be formed substantially complementary to a nose 20 of the one or more noses 20.

[0210] An extension of the incisions 30 in the width direction B and / or in the longitudinal direction L can in particular be slightly greater than an extension of the lugs 20 in the width direction B and / or in the longitudinal direction L. As a result, the lugs 20 can advantageously be securely received in the incisions 30, wherein the lugs 20 can in particular be brought into contact with at least one incision edge 32 of the one or more incisions 30.

[0211] As through the Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3b and Fig. 3c, the incisions 30 can in particular be substantially rectangular.

[0212] The incisions 30 can in particular be designed as flat sections which are at least partially delimited along their circumference by an incision edge 32.

[0213] In exemplary embodiments, at least one cut edge 32 is formed adjacent to a respective cut 30 in the width direction B. In other words, in the state of the packaging 1 folded into the container 100, at least one cut edge 32 can be formed adjacent to a respective cut 30 in the height direction H above.

[0214] The height direction H of the container 100 is in particular a direction starting from the bottom 90 of the container 100 towards an opening or a lid of the container 100. In a normal use position of the container 100, for example when the container 100 is placed on a substantially flat surface such as a table, the height direction H of the container 100 can substantially correspond to a vertical direction.

[0215] The cutting edge 32, as particularly shown in the Fig. 3b and Fig. 3c, can, without being limited thereto, have in particular a dimension of approximately 0.15 mm to approximately 1.5 mm, preferably a dimension of approximately 0.2 mm to approximately 1 mm, or more preferably a dimension of approximately 0.3 mm to approximately 0.8 mm in the material thickness direction M.

[0216] Alternatively or additionally, the cut edge 32, as shown in particular in the Fig. 3b and Fig. 3c, without being limited thereto, in the longitudinal direction L in particular have a dimension of about 2 cm to about 11 cm, preferably a dimension of about 2.5 cm to about 8.5 cm.

[0217] In further exemplary embodiments, a dimension of the incision edge 32 in the longitudinal direction L can substantially correspond to a dimension of a nose 20 in the longitudinal direction L, which is formed in the incision 30 at least partially delimited by the incision edge 32, in particular taking into account a manufacturing tolerance.

[0218] In further exemplary embodiments, in addition to the at least one incision edge 32, one or two further incision edges 32 can be formed adjacent to a respective incision 30 in the longitudinal direction L. In other words, incision edges 32 can be formed adjacent to the incision 30 on one or both sides in the longitudinal direction L.

[0219] Alternatively or additionally, a further cut edge 32 can be formed opposite to the width direction B, i.e., opposite the at least one cut edge 32 in the width direction B, adjacent to a respective cut 30. In other words, when the packaging 1 is folded into the container 100, at least one cut edge 32 can be formed adjacent to a respective cut 30 in the height direction H below.

[0220] The at least one incision edge 32, which is formed adjacent to the incision 30 in the width direction B or adjacent to the incision 30 above in the height direction, advantageously provides a support for one or more lugs 20, in particular a support for a respective distal end 22 of the one or more lugs 20.

[0221] This allows the container 100 to be advantageously stiffened.

[0222] As can be seen particularly from the cuts in the Fig. 3b and Fig. As shown in Fig. 3c, the incisions 30 can be made by means of cuts, in particular by means of scorings 13 in the second side section 62.

[0223] In Fig. Figure 3c outlines an exemplary embodiment in which only one incision edge 32 is formed adjacent to the incision 30 in the width direction B, in particular by the scoring 13. The incision edge 32 advantageously provides a defined contact point for one or more lugs 20 and in particular for a respective distal end 22 of one or more lugs 20.

[0224] The incision 30 may alternatively or additionally be formed by pressing the second side portion 62, corresponding to the contours of the incision 30 shown in the figures.

[0225] A combination of cutting, in particular by means of scoring 13 and pressing, advantageously enables the formation of a defined incision edge 32 and an incision 30, which, in particular in the region of the incision edge 32, has a wall thickness t2 that is reduced compared to the (nominal) wall thickness t1 of the second side section 62.

[0226] As through the Fig. 3b and Fig. As illustrated in Figure 3c, a scoring 13 for forming the incision 30 and in particular for forming an incision edge 32 adjacent to the incision 30 extends in particular (only) partially in the material thickness direction M through the second side section 62.

[0227] The scoring 13 can in particular extend in such a way that a lower first section of the packaging material in the material thickness direction M, such as a lower cover layer 4 of a packaging material provided with filler, such as in particular a lower cover layer 4 of a corrugated cardboard, remains intact, i.e. is not severed by the scoring 13.

[0228] In other words, in an exemplary embodiment in which the packaging 1 comprises or consists of corrugated cardboard as packaging material, the scoring 13 can extend at least through the upper cover layer 3 and part of the flute 2 or substantially through the upper cover layer 3 and the entire flute 2.

[0229] By means of the scoring 13 formed in this way, a restoring force which could possibly reduce the depth of the incision 30 in the material thickness direction M can advantageously be avoided or at least reduced.

[0230] This is illustrated in the sketch from Fig. 3c illustrates, wherein the shaft 2 arranged between the upper and lower cover layers 3, 4 can be pressed in the region of the incision 30 due to the scoring 13 extending in particular completely through the shaft 2, without also pressing the shaft 2 in the region of the second side section 62 adjacent to the incision 30.

[0231] The incision edge 32 can thus again advantageously be made rigid, in particular for a stop with one or more lugs 20. This in turn advantageously makes it possible to stiffen the container 100, while at the same time ensuring efficient manufacturability by reducing or avoiding material removal related to the incision 30 and associated material waste in the machine.

[0232] As through Fig. 3b, in particular in the longitudinal direction L adjacent to the incision 30, scorings 13 can be introduced, which, as shown in Fig. 3c, can be designed with an extension.

[0233] This advantageously makes it possible to compress the corrugated cardboard and in particular the flute 2 of the corrugated cardboard, which is formed below the incision 30 in the material thickness direction M, while simultaneously reducing a restoring force with which the flute 2 reduces or could reduce a depth of the incisions 30.

[0234] As through the Fig. 3b and Fig. 3c, the at least one incision edge 32, which in particular adjoins the incision 30 substantially in the width direction B, can extend substantially in a direction toward the shaft GdW and in the material thickness direction M.

[0235] The flute 2 of a corrugated cardboard can be exposed in particular in the area of ​​the cut edge 32 towards the cut 30.

[0236] The thus formed notch edge 32 advantageously enables, particularly in combination with a respective distal end 22 of the one or more lugs 20, which also runs substantially parallel to the direction toward the shaft GdW, to ensure a rigid fit between the notch edge 32 and the one or more lugs 20. This, in turn, results in a correspondingly rigid fixation of the base 90 of the container 100 and a corresponding stiffening of the container 100.

[0237] The Fig. 4 shows examples of different states of packaging 1: - from folding the first floor section 51 (state (A)) downwards to a floor position for the first floor section 51, - via an exemplary and in particular passive bending or folding of the one or more lugs 20 when touching the second side portion 62 (state (B)), - towards a receptacle of the one or more lugs 20 in the one or more incisions 30, in which the first base section 51 has arrived in the base position, the first base section 51 is fixed in the base position in particular by means of the lugs 20 and incision 30 and the packaging 1 at least partially forms the container 100 for receiving a packaged item (not shown) (state (C)).

[0238] The transitions between the states (A), (B), (C) can be predefined in particular by a predetermined folding mechanism of the packaging 1, in which the first bottom section 51 can be designed, in particular as an automatic bottom.

[0239] For this purpose, as described in the Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 by way of example, the first base section 51 has a first base flap 56, the second base section 52 has a second base flap 57, the third base section 53 has a third base flap 58 and the fourth base section 54 has a fourth base flap 59.

[0240] To form the predetermined folding mechanism, the base flaps 56, 57, 58, 59 can be joined together in pairs, for example, glued, in a pre-assembled state of the packaging 1. The base flaps 56, 57, 58, 59 can in particular be glued together in such a way that when the packaging 1 is folded into the container 100, starting from the pre-assembled state, the side sections 61, 62, 63, 64 are folded toward an orientation intended for the container 100, and the base sections 51, 52, 53, 54 are automatically formed to form the base 90, in particular an inner base by the first base section 51 and an outer base by the second, third, and fourth base sections 52, 53, 54.

[0241] To form the predetermined folding mechanism, in a pre-assembled state of the packaging 1, without being limited thereto, for example, the first bottom flap 56 can be joined and in particular glued to the fourth bottom flap 59 and / or the second bottom flap 57 can be joined and in particular glued to the third bottom flap 58.

[0242] As in the Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the packaging 1 can optionally have one or more lid sections 71, 72, 73, 74 to form a lid of the container 100. The lid sections 71, 72, 73, 74 are separated from one another in particular by means of cuts 11.

[0243] The embodiments described above, as shown in the Fig. 1 to 4 relate in particular to an embodiment in which the one or more lugs 20 extend substantially along the width direction B from the free edge 24 of the base portion 51.

[0244] It is understood that features as described with reference to the above embodiments apply analogously to an embodiment in which the one or more lugs 20 extend substantially along the longitudinal direction L from the base portion 51, that is to say in particular when the free edge 24 from which the one or more lugs 20 extend extends substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction L. In this case, the one or more incisions 30 can be formed in particular in one or more side portions which are adjacent to the first side portion 61, as shown by way of example in the Fig. 1 to 4. In other words, in this case, the one or more incisions 30 can be formed in particular in the third and / or fourth side section 63, 64, as shown by way of example in the Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and Fig. 4 shown.

[0245] Fig. 5 shows a blank 5 of a packaging 1 according to a further embodiment.

[0246] Fig. 6a, Fig. 6b and Fig. 6c show a sketched sectional view of sections XX, YY and ZZ, as in Fig. 5 is shown.

[0247] Unless otherwise indicated, explanations refer to the Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3a, Fig. 3b, Fig. 3c and Fig. 4 equally on the Fig. 5, Fig. 6a, Fig. 6b and Fig. 6c. Therefore, the differences between the embodiments according to the Fig. 5, Fig. 6a, Fig. 6b and Fig. 6c compared to the embodiments according to the Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3a, Fig. 3b, Fig. 3c and Fig. 4 reproduced.

[0248] As in Fig. 5, the blank 5 of the packaging 1 has in particular a first base section 51 for forming a base 90 of the container 100. The blank 5 can have a plurality of base sections 51, 52, 53, 54, in particular such that several or each base section 51, 52, 53, 54 forms part of the base 90 of the container 100, and in particular a part of the inner base of the container 100.

[0249] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 5, one or more lugs 20 are arranged on the first base portion 51. One lug 20 is shown as an exemplary embodiment. It is understood that in further exemplary embodiments, the blank 5 may have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, or more lugs 20 arranged on the first base portion 51, and in particular on an edge 24 of the first base portion 51 that is substantially free in the longitudinal direction L.

[0250] The free edge 24 of the first base section 51 can, in particular, extend substantially perpendicular to a boundary between the first base section 51 and the first side section 61, which directly adjoins the first base section 51. The first side section 61 is, in particular, directly connected to the first base section 51. The first base section 51 and the first side section 61 can, in particular, have a groove 8 at their common boundary.

[0251] As in Fig. 5, the nose 20 extends in particular substantially along the longitudinal direction L from the free edge 24 of the first base section 51. One or more further base sections 52, 53, 54 can have one or more noses 20 analogously to the first base section 51. The following refers, by way of example, to a nose 20 which extends from one or more of the base sections 51, 52, 53, 54.

[0252] As in Fig. 5, in particular two of the base sections 51, 52, 53, 54 can have a nose 20 which, as explained with reference to the first base section 51, extends from the base section 51, 52, 53, 54. For example, the first base section 51 and the third base section 53 can have a nose 20. In the longitudinal direction L of the blank, the first and third base sections 51, 53, which have a nose 20, can be opposite one another, in particular relative to the second or fourth base section 52, 54.

[0253] The first and third base sections 51, 53 and optionally additionally the second and / or fourth base sections 52, 54 can have mutually complementary sections which are designed to overlap each other at least in sections when folded into the container 100.

[0254] Due to the plurality of base sections 51, 52, 53, 54, which are particularly designed to form (only) a part of the base 90, of which several of the base sections 51, 52, 53, 54 have a nose 20, the base 90 can be advantageously stable, but at the same time advantageously light or, in other words, weight-saving.

[0255] As in Fig. 5, the lugs 20 may each have a distal end 22 which extends substantially along the longitudinal direction B.

[0256] The longitudinal direction L, the width direction B and the thickness direction M or material thickness direction M, as in the Fig. 5, Fig. 6a, Fig. 6b and Fig. 6c is shown analogously to the respective direction, as in the Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3a, Fig. 3b and Fig. 3c. They are intended to illustrate the relative arrangement of the sections of the packaging 1 to one another.

[0257] A nose 20 of the one or more noses 20 can have an extension in the longitudinal direction L in the range of approximately 2.0 mm to approximately 60 mm, for example in the range of approximately 2.5 mm to approximately 50 mm, in particular in the range of approximately 3.0 mm to approximately 40 mm.

[0258] The noses 20 can, as in Fig. 5, starting from the free edge 24 towards the distal end, have a decreasing extension in the width direction B. When engaging in a complementary incision 30, a force transmission in several spatial directions can thereby be advantageously ensured, and the bottom 90 of the container 100 together with the side wall of the container can be advantageously stiffened.

[0259] The noses 20 can, as in Fig. 5 and without being limited thereto, have a substantially triangular shape. Instead of a point at the distal end 22 of the triangular shape, the point may be truncated or, in other words, have a substantially linear section extending substantially parallel to the width direction B.

[0260] The noses 20 can therefore advantageously be made rigid.

[0261] As in Fig. 5, the packaging 1 has a first side portion 61 adjacent to the first base portion 51 along the width direction B and can optionally have a first lid portion 71 adjacent to the first side portion 61 along the width direction B. The first side portion 61 is designed in particular to form a first side 91 of the container 100.

[0262] A second side section 62 is connected to the first side section 61 in the longitudinal direction L and is particularly designed to form a second side 92 of the container 100. A boundary between the first and second side sections 61, 62 can, in particular, run substantially parallel to the width direction B and can, for example, have a groove 8.

[0263] The creasing 8, especially each groove in the Fig. 5, Fig. 6a, Fig. 6b and Fig. 6c shown creasing 8, creasing 7, scoring 13, creasing cut 9 and / or cut 11 is arranged in particular on a side of the blank 5, which the viewer can see when viewing the Fig. 5, or on a side of a top side, and in particular on a side of an upper cover layer 3, as shown in the Fig. 6a, Fig. 6b and Fig. 6c. This corresponds to an inner side of the container 100 or the packaging 1 or a side facing a packaged item to be received (where no packaged item is shown in this case).

[0264] A second cover section 72 can optionally be arranged adjacent to the second side section 62 in the width direction B. A second base section 52 can optionally be arranged adjacent to the second side section 62 opposite the width direction B.

[0265] As in Fig. 5, the packaging 1 has a third side section 63 adjacent to the second side section 62 in the longitudinal direction L and can optionally have a third lid section 73 adjacent to the third side section 63 in the width direction B and / or a third bottom section 53 adjacent to the third side section 63 opposite to the width direction B.

[0266] The third side section 63 is particularly designed to form a third side 93 of the container 100. The second side 92 is designed, in particular, as a side adjacent to the first side 91 in the state as the packaging 1 folded into the container 100, and can be arranged, in particular, substantially perpendicular to the first side 91 in the state as the packaging 1 folded into the container 100. The third side 93 is designed, in particular, as a side substantially opposite the first side 91 in the state as the packaging 1 folded into the container 100.

[0267] As in Fig. 5, the packaging 1 can also have a fourth side section 64, which can be arranged adjacent to the third side section 63 in the longitudinal direction L or opposite to the longitudinal direction L to the first side section 61.

[0268] The fourth side section 64 is particularly designed to form a fourth side 94 of the container 100. The fourth side 94 is designed in the state of the package 1 folded into the container 100, in particular as a side substantially opposite the second side 92.

[0269] Optionally, the packaging 1 can have a fourth lid section 74 adjacent to the fourth side section 64 in the width direction B and / or a fourth bottom section 54 adjacent to the fourth side section 64 opposite to the width direction B.

[0270] In Fig. 5 shows three sections XX, YY and ZZ.

[0271] The section XX represents a sketched section through the first base section 51, wherein the section runs essentially parallel to the longitudinal direction L. The section XX is shown as an exemplary sketch to illustrate the layers of a corrugated cardboard as an exemplary packaging material in Fig. 6a. Section XX applies equally to a section essentially parallel thereto through one or more of the other floor sections 52, 53, 54.

[0272] The section YY represents a sketched section in particular through the second side section 62 as well as through the exemplary adjacent regions of the first and third side sections 61, 63 in the longitudinal direction L, wherein the section runs essentially parallel to the longitudinal direction L. The section YY is shown as an exemplary sketch to illustrate the incision 30 using the example of a corrugated cardboard as packaging material in Fig. 6b.

[0273] The section ZZ represents a sketched section, in particular through the second side section 62, as well as through the regions of the second lid section 62 and the second base section 52 which are adjacent in the width direction B, for example, wherein the section runs substantially parallel to the width direction B or, in other words, is characterized by a plane which is substantially spanned by the width direction B and the material thickness direction M. The section ZZ is shown as an exemplary sketch to illustrate the incisions 30 using the example of corrugated cardboard as packaging material in Fig. 6c.

[0274] The sections YY and ZZ apply in particular equally to sections through one or more of the other side sections 62, 63, 64 which are essentially parallel thereto, provided that an incision 30 lies in the respective section line.

[0275] As through the Fig. As shown in Figures 5 and 6a to 6c, the packaging 1 can, in particular, comprise or consist of corrugated cardboard as the packaging material. The blank 5 of the packaging 1 can, in particular, be designed such that the width direction B is substantially parallel to a direction with the flute MdW and / or the longitudinal direction L is substantially parallel to a direction against the flute.

[0276] For the exemplary case that the packaging 1 comprises or consists of corrugated cardboard as packaging material, as in Fig. As shown by way of example in Figure 6a, the lugs 20 can extend substantially perpendicular to a direction with the wave MdW from the free edge 24. This advantageously allows the lugs 20 to be easily folded.

[0277] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 5, the lugs 20 can have a groove 7 at an end facing the first or third base section 51 to facilitate a predefined folding of the lugs 20, for example, when the lugs 20 are pressed against the second side section 62 and / or fourth side section 64. The groove 7 is formed in particular on an upper cover layer 3 of the packaging 1 or the blank 5.

[0278] The creasing 7 has a smaller depth compared to other creasings 8 of the blank 5, which are formed, for example, as creasing 8 between two adjacent side sections 61, 62, 63, 64 and / or between two adjacent side and base sections 51, 52, 53, 54, 61, 62, 63, 64.

[0279] As a result, the lugs 20 can be provided with a comparatively high restoring force to prevent folding around the groove 7. This, in turn, ensures a high degree of overlap when a cut edge 32 of a cut 30 and one or more lugs 20 are in contact, so that the lugs 20 can be rigidly received in the cuts 30 and the first base portion 51 can be securely fixed in a base position of the container 100.

[0280] A respective distal end of the noses 20 can, as shown by the Fig. 5 and Fig. 6a, run in one direction with the shaft MdW or in other words span essentially in one direction with the shaft MdW and a material thickness direction M.

[0281] In the Fig. 5 and Fig. 6a also shows the optional configuration of the first base section 51 with a first base flap 56. The first base flap 56 is formed, in particular, as part of the first base section 51 and can be separated from the remaining base section 51, in particular, by a grooved cut 9.

[0282] As through the Fig. 5, Fig. 6b and Fig. As shown in Fig. 6c, the packaging 1 may have one or more incisions 30 and, without being limited thereto, in particular a number of incisions 30 corresponding to the number of lugs 20.

[0283] As an exemplary embodiment, one incision 30 is shown per side section 62, 64, which has incisions 30. It is understood that in further exemplary embodiments, the blank 5 may have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, or more incisions 30 arranged or formed on or in the second and / or fourth side section 62, 64.

[0284] In the following, an incision 30 is mentioned as an example. It is understood that a particular embodiment of a package 1 or a container 100 may have a different number of incisions 30, as explained above.

[0285] As through Fig. 5, the incision 30 can be arranged or formed in particular in the region of an end of the second and / or fourth side section 62, wherein the end adjoins the respective second and / or fourth bottom section 52, 54.

[0286] The incision 30 can in particular be designed as a flat section which is at least partially delimited along its circumference by an incision edge 32 from the region of the second and / or fourth side section 62, 64 adjacent to the respective incision 30, and is in particular lowered compared to a different or nominal wall thickness t1 of the second side section 62.

[0287] As through the Fig. 6b and Fig. 6c, the incision 30 can in particular be substantially lowered on one side with respect to its wall thickness t2 compared to a wall thickness t1 of the region of the second and / or fourth side section 62, 64 adjacent to the respective incision 30.

[0288] The wall thickness t2 of the incision 30 is less than or equal to the wall thickness t1 of a region of the second and / or fourth side section 62, 64 which adjoins the respective incision 30.

[0289] The incision 30 can in particular be formed substantially complementary to a nose 20 of the one or more noses 20.

[0290] An extension of the incision 30 in the width direction B and / or in the longitudinal direction L can in particular be slightly greater than an extension of the nose 20 in the width direction B and / or in the longitudinal direction L. As a result, the nose 20 can advantageously be securely received in the incision 30, wherein the nose 20 can in particular be brought into contact with at least one incision edge 32 of the one or more incisions 30.

[0291] As through the Fig. 5, Fig. 6b and Fig. 6c, the incision 30 may in particular be substantially triangular in shape, in particular with a truncated tip, complementary to the nose 20.

[0292] The incision edge 32, which is formed so as to border the incision 30, advantageously provides a support for one or more lugs 20, in particular a support for a respective distal end 22 of the one or more lugs 20.

[0293] As can be seen particularly from the cuts in the Fig. 6b and Fig. As shown in Fig. 6c, the incisions 30 can be made by means of cuts, in particular by means of scorings 13 in the second and / or fourth side section 62, 64.

[0294] As in Fig. 6c, the incision edge 32 advantageously provides a defined attachment for one or more lugs 20 and in particular for a respective distal end 22 of one or more lugs 20.

[0295] The incision 30 may alternatively or additionally be formed by pressing the second and / or fourth side portion 62, 64, corresponding to the contours of the incision 30 shown in the figures.

[0296] A combination of cutting, in particular by means of scoring 13 and pressing, advantageously enables the formation of a defined incision edge 32 and an incision 30, which, in particular in the region of the incision edge 32, has a wall thickness t2 that is reduced compared to the (nominal) wall thickness t1 of the second side section 62.

[0297] As through the Fig. 6b and Fig. As illustrated in Figure 6c, a scoring 13 for forming the incision 30 and in particular for forming an incision edge 32 adjacent to the incision 30 extends in particular (only) partially in the material thickness direction M through the second and / or fourth side portion 62, 64.

[0298] The scoring 13 can in particular extend in such a way that a lower first section of the packaging material in the material thickness direction M, such as a lower cover layer 4 of a packaging material provided with filler, such as in particular a lower cover layer 4 of a corrugated cardboard, remains intact, i.e. is not severed by the scoring 13.

[0299] As through the Fig. 6b and Fig. As illustrated in Figure 6c, the flute 2 of a corrugated cardboard can be exposed in particular in the area of ​​the cut edge 32 towards the cut 30.

[0300] The thus formed notch edge 32 advantageously enables a rigid fit between the notch edge 32 and the one or more lugs 20. This, in turn, results in a correspondingly rigid fixation of the base 90 of the container 100 and a corresponding stiffening of the container 100.
