PACKAGING AND CUTTING FOR THIS

Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a cardboard or paper packaging comprising a bottom wall and a top wall, at least one front and one back wall connecting the bottom and top walls to form end faces of the packaging, wherein the packaging is formed in the shape of a prismatic body along a longitudinal axis running parallel to the bottom and top walls, and at least one side flap hinged to the bottom and / or top wall for lateral closure of the packaging. The invention further relates to a blank for manufacturing such packaging.

[0002] Such packaging is known in a wide variety of forms. In particular, such packaging is used for filling, transporting, and storing packaged or unpackaged free-flowing goods. These goods can include, for example, cereals, cornflakes, or other free-flowing foodstuffs, as well as washing powder and similar products. Liquids can also be stored in appropriately leak-proof intermediate packaging within these types of packaging. A powder-tight packaging for powdered goods is known from DE 20 2004 011 165 U1. The known packaging is designed in the form of a prismatic, octagonal body. A disadvantage of such prismatically shaped packaging, however, is that several dust flaps, in addition to the lid flaps, are required to seal the lid and / or base construction.Particularly in the corner areas of the lid and / or base construction, instabilities occur under pressure loads in these areas, for example, during storage or stacking of these packages. This can lead to undesirable damage to the packaging. Comparable cardboard packaging and corresponding blanks are known from US 2011 / 111938 A1 and EP 0 468 860 A1. WO 2015 / 010726 A1 and WO 2015 / 011186 A1 also show similar packaging and blanks. However, the packaging disclosed here, as well as the packaging described above according to the prior art, consists of prismatic "standing" bodies designed along a longitudinal axis, with the longitudinal axis running parallel to a longitudinal extension of the front, back, and side walls. The longitudinal axis is therefore arranged perpendicular to a base or lid surface.US 2010 / 219232 A1 refers generally to a blank and a reinforced polygonal container formed from the blank, and specifically to a blank for forming a reinforced polygonal container for transporting a product stored in the container.

[0003] In packaging of this type, which is designed in the form of a prismatic, horizontal body along a longitudinal axis running parallel to the base and lid walls, less pressure is exerted on the corresponding base and lid structures due to the larger contact area of ​​the base and lid walls and the horizontal stacking, for example in a retail shelf. However, such packaging is only insufficiently protected against stresses on the side walls, especially when the packaging is stored or transported in an upright position, i.e., when the prismatic bodies are stored with their longitudinal axis erect.

[0004] It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide a generic packaging and a cut for it which, in addition to a secure closure or a secure covering in the area of ​​the side walls of the packaging, ensures increased load stability of the packaging in these areas, in particular in the case of "standing" storage or transport of the packaging with upright, vertically erected longitudinal axes.

[0005] To solve these problems, a generic packaging according to the features of claim 1 and a blank according to the features of claim 6 are used. Advantageous embodiments with expedient further developments of the invention are specified in the respective dependent claims, wherein advantageous embodiments of the packaging are to be regarded as advantageous embodiments of the blank and vice versa.

[0006] A packaging according to the invention, made of cardboard or paper, comprises a bottom wall and a lid wall, at least one front and one back wall connecting the bottom and lid walls to form the end faces of the packaging, wherein the packaging is formed in the shape of a prismatic body along a longitudinal axis running parallel to the bottom and lid walls, and at least one side flap hinged to the bottom and / or lid wall for lateral closure of the packaging. The at least one side flap is designed such that, in a closed position, it rests at least partially against one of the front and back walls connecting the bottom and lid walls and projects at least partially beyond it.The design of the side flap according to the invention ensures a secure closure or cover of the areas of the packaging enclosing the front and / or back wall as well as the corresponding bottom and top walls. Furthermore, the fact that the side flap rests at least partially on the front and back wall(s) of the packaging results in increased load-bearing capacity in these areas. Such packages can therefore be stacked side by side without difficulty, with the longitudinal axes of their prismatic bodies oriented vertically. This is necessary and advantageous, for example, when shipping on pallets. Additionally, thinner cardboard thicknesses can be used compared to previously known packaging. This material saving results in significant cost advantages with the packaging according to the invention.Furthermore, the side flap is designed such that, in a closed position, it projects at least partially beyond at least one front and / or rear wall against which it rests. This at least partial projection of the side flap beyond the front and / or rear wall, along with its corresponding dimensions, ensures that a front and / or rear end face of the packaging is securely covered. Even potential pressure on these areas during upright storage of the packaging according to the invention does not cause the side flap to be displaced from its position on the front and / or rear wall. "Resting on the front and / or rear wall(s)" also means that the side flap does not rest directly on any edge of the front and / or rear wall.The side flap can also rest, at least partially, on a packaging element hinged to the respective front and / or rear wall, such as a dust flap. Crucially, the side flap must extend beyond the corresponding front and / or rear wall. Furthermore, it has surprisingly been found that the packaging according to the invention allows for significant material savings, particularly in cardboard material, during its production. At least one side flap is also designed such that, in the closed position, it completely covers the area of ​​a cross-sectional surface of the prismatic packaging formed by the front and / or rear walls, with the cross-sectional surface being perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.This ensures that, regardless of the cross-sectional area of ​​the prismatic packaging, the surfaces formed by the front or back walls are reliably covered and closed by the side flaps. Furthermore, the side flap has at least one overhang in the non-hinged area, such that, in the closed position of the packaging, this overhang extends beyond at least one front or back wall, at least partially. A support lug is formed at each of the opposite ends of the overhang. This also ensures a secure closure of the packaging while simultaneously increasing its dimensional stability in these areas.

[0007] In further advantageous embodiments of the packaging according to the invention, the width a of the side flap(s) in the area of ​​their respective attachment to the bottom and / or lid wall is greater than the width b of the corresponding bottom and / or lid wall in this area. This ensures, in a simple design, that the corresponding side flap rests against the corresponding front and / or rear wall(s) and, at least in some areas, projects beyond them. This results in increased load-bearing capacity of the packaging, a secure closure of the packaging, and the possibility of an automated erecting and filling process. Furthermore, it is possible for at least one dust flap to be attached to at least one side flap in an area distinct from the overhang.Again, a secure closure of the packaging is ensured in these areas of the packaging.

[0008] In a further advantageous embodiment of the packaging according to the invention, at least one tear tab is formed within the lid wall. This allows the packaging to be opened easily.

[0009] In further advantageous embodiments of the packaging according to the invention, a cross-sectional area perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the packaging, which is designed as a prismatic body, is polygonal, in particular four-, five-, six-, seven-, eight-, nine-, ten-, or twelve-sided. However, other shapes, such as round shapes or hybrid shapes between round and polygonal forms, are also possible. Moreover, it has surprisingly been found that significant material savings, particularly of cardboard, can be achieved in the production of the packaging according to the invention. Depending on the number of sides of the cross-sectional area, material savings of between 9% and 14% can be achieved with the same volume as in conventional packaging. Thus, a generally pentagonal cross-sectional area results in a material saving of approximately 9%, while octagonal packaging results in a material saving of approximately 14%.

[0010] Furthermore, the cross-sectional area of ​​the packaging can be triangular. This embodiment may possess an independent inventive element. To form the triangular shape of the packaging, either the front or the back wall is connected to the bottom and lid walls, with the bottom and lid walls being directly connected to each other. At least one side flap hinged to the bottom and / or lid wall is designed such that, in a closed position, it rests at least partially against the front or back wall and projects beyond it at least partially. The design of the side flap according to the invention ensures a secure closure or a secure covering of this area of ​​the packaging.Furthermore, the fact that the side flap rests at least partially on the front or back wall results in increased load-bearing capacity of the packaging in this area. Such packages can therefore be stacked side by side without problems, with the longitudinal axes of their prismatic bodies oriented vertically, which is necessary and advantageous, for example, when shipping on pallets.

[0011] Another aspect of the invention relates to a blank for the production of packaging made of cardboard or paper, comprising bottom wall, lid wall, front wall, and back wall elements connected by bend lines to form the packaging as a prismatic shape when the blank is folded. The blank includes at least one side flap hinged to each bottom and / or lid wall element. According to the invention, the at least one side flap is designed such that, when the blank is folded and in a closed position, it rests at least partially on and projects beyond at least one of the front or back wall elements connecting the bottom and lid wall elements. The one-piece construction of the blank enables cost-effective production of both the blank and the packaging.Such a pre-cut design also ensures a secure closure or cover of the resulting packaging, encompassing the front and / or back wall elements as well as the corresponding bottom and lid wall elements. Furthermore, the fact that the side flap rests, at least partially, on the front and back walls of the folded packaging results in increased load-bearing capacity in these areas. Such packaging can therefore be easily stacked side by side with the longitudinal axes of their prismatic bodies aligned vertically, which is necessary and advantageous, for example, when shipping on pallets. Additionally, thinner cardboard thicknesses can potentially be used compared to previously known pre-cut designs and packaging. This material saving results in significant cost advantages.Furthermore, the side flap is designed such that, in the closed position of the folded packaging, it extends at least partially beyond at least one front and / or back wall against which it rests. This partial extension of the side flap beyond the front and / or back wall, along with its appropriate dimensions, ensures that a front and / or rear end face of the packaging produced from the blank is securely covered. Even potential pressure on these areas during upright storage of the packaging will not cause the side flap to dislodge from its position on the front and / or back wall.At least one side flap is also designed in such a way that, in a closed position of the folded packaging, it completely covers the area formed by the front and / or rear walls of a cross-sectional surface of the packaging designed as a prismatic body, wherein the cross-sectional surface is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.

[0012] In further advantageous embodiments of the blank according to the invention, the width a of the side flap(s) in the area of ​​their respective connection to the bottom and / or lid wall element is greater than the width b of the bottom and / or lid wall element in this area. This ensures, in a simple design, that the corresponding side flap, when the blank is folded and the packaging is closed, rests against the corresponding front and / or back wall(s) and projects beyond them, at least in some areas. This results in increased load-bearing capacity of the packaging, a secure closure, and the possibility of an automated erecting and filling process for the blank during packaging production.Furthermore, the side flap may have at least one overhang in the non-hinged area, such that, when the blank is folded and the packaging is closed, this overhang extends beyond at least one front or back panel, at least partially. A support lug may be formed at each of the opposite ends of the overhang. This ensures a secure closure of the packaging produced from the blank, while simultaneously increasing dimensional stability in these areas of the folded packaging. Additionally, at least one dust flap may be hinged to at least one side flap in an area distinct from the overhang. Again, this ensures a secure closure of the packaging in these areas of the packaging produced from the blank.

[0013] In further advantageous embodiments of the blank according to the invention, the side flaps are essentially polygonal, in particular four-, five-, six-, seven-, eight-, nine-, ten-, or twelve-sided. However, other shapes are also possible, such as round shapes or hybrid shapes between round and polygonal forms. Triangular shapes are also conceivable. Furthermore, at least one tear tab can be formed within the lid wall element. This allows the packaging produced from the blank according to the invention to be opened easily.

[0014] The features and combinations of features mentioned above in the description, as well as the features and combinations of features mentioned below in the exemplary embodiments, can be used not only in the combinations specified, but also in other combinations without departing from the scope of the invention as defined in the accompanying claims. This is shown by: Figure 1 is a schematic representation of a packaging according to the invention; Figure 2 is a further schematic representation of the packaging according to the invention. Figure 1 Figure 3 shows a schematic representation of a packaging cut according to the invention. Figure 1 Figure 4: a schematic detail representation of the in Figure 3 the cut shown; Figure 5 a schematic representation of a cut of the packaging according to a further embodiment according to the invention; and Figure 6 a schematic detail representation of the Figure 5 shown cut.

[0015] Figure 1Figure 1 shows a schematic representation of a packaging 10, which is used in particular for the storage and transport of packaged or unpackaged free-flowing goods. These goods can be, for example, cereals, cornflakes, or other free-flowing foodstuffs, or even washing powder and similar products. Liquids can also be stored in appropriately leak-proof intermediate packaging within the packaging 10. The packaging 10 has a bottom wall 12 and a top wall 14, which are connected by three connecting front and back walls 22, 22', 22", 24, 24', 24". The front and back walls 22, 22', 22", 24, 24', 24" form a front end face 16 and a rear end face 18 of the packaging 10. It can be seen that the packaging 10 is designed in the form of a prismatic body along a longitudinal axis running parallel to the bottom and top walls 12, 14.Perpendicular to this transverse axis, the cross-sectional area 78 of the packaging 10 is generally octagonal. The packaging 10 also has a side flap 26, 28 hinged to the bottom and top walls 12, 14 for lateral closure of the packaging 10 (see also ). Figure 2 Furthermore, the packaging includes a total of four dust flaps (see 10). Figure 3), which are each hinged to the front walls 22, 24 via bending lines 74, 76. The dust flaps 36 serve to close the packaging 10 laterally in the area of ​​the front and rear end faces 16, 18. Furthermore, the lid wall 14 has a tear tab 20, which is defined by corresponding perforation lines 38, 40 in the lid wall 14. In the area of ​​an adhesive flap 58, which is hinged to the lid wall 14 via a bending line 52, the tear tab 20 transitions into a handle 88, which is defined by perforation lines 84, 86 formed in the adhesive flap 58. To facilitate opening the tear tab 20, a cut line 80 is formed adjacent to the bending line 52 and within the handle 88, which serves to form a pull tab 82. It can be seen that the pull tab 82 protrudes slightly beyond the outline of the prismatic body of the packaging 10 and is therefore easy to grasp.

[0016] It can also be seen that the side flaps 26, 28 are designed such that in the respective closed position they rest against the front and back walls 22', 22", 24', 24" which connect the bottom and top walls 12, 14 (see also Figure 3The side flaps 26, 28 rest on and project beyond the front and rear walls 22', 22", 24', 24" in certain areas. For this purpose, the side flaps 26, 28 each have an overhang 44 in their respective corner areas, which, in the closed position of the illustrated packaging 10, projects at least partially beyond the aforementioned front and rear walls 22', 22", 24', 24". It can be seen that support lugs 30, 32 are formed at the opposite ends of the respective overhangs 44. It is evident that the side flaps 26, 28 are designed such that, in the closed position of the packaging 10, they almost completely cover the area of ​​the cross-sectional surface 78 formed by the front and / or rear walls 22, 22', 22", 24, 24', 24" arranged at the end faces. It can also be seen that the cross-sectional surface 78 is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis L.According to further embodiments of the packaging 10, it is also possible that two or more side flaps are designed in such a way that, in the closed position, they completely or at least partially cover the area of ​​the cross-sectional surface 78 formed by the front and rear walls 22, 22', 22", 24, 24', 24".

[0017] Furthermore, it can be seen that a dust flap 36 is hinged to the front wall 22 and the rear wall 24 via bending lines 76 and 74, respectively. The rear wall element 24' is hinged to the cover wall 14 and the tear-off tab 20, respectively, via bending line 54. The side flaps 26 and 28 are each hinged via bending lines 70 and 72 (see also Figure 2) hinged to the bottom wall 12. Bending lines 34 are arranged parallel to the bending lines 70, 72. A glue or insertion tab 26", 28" is formed over each of the bending lines 34 as a partial area of ​​the respective side tabs 26, 28. Furthermore, it can be seen from Figure 1 that the adhesive tab 58 lies on the front wall 22" and is at least partially bonded to it.

[0018] In the illustrated embodiment, the front end face 16 is enclosed by the front walls 22, 22', 22" (see also Figure 3 ) formed, which are connected to each other via corresponding bending lines 64, 66, 68. The front wall 22" is connected to the adhesive tab 58. The rear end face 18 is formed by the rear walls 24, 24', 24" which are connected to the top wall 14 and the bottom wall 12 via corresponding bending lines (see also Figure 3 ).

[0019] Figure 2shows another schematic representation of packaging 10 according to Figure 1 The overall octagonal shape of the packaging 10 resting on the base wall 12 is again evident. It is also clear that the side flap 28 is connected to the base wall 12 via the bending line 72. The design of the overhangs 44 and the support lugs 30, 32 ensures a secure closure and significantly increases the stability of the packaging 10 in the areas of the front and rear end faces 16, 18. It is evident that even a certain degree of deformation of the packaging 10 in these areas can be compensated for without problems. The overhang 44 and the support lugs 30, 32 can compensate for deformations in this area to a certain extent and still remain in contact with the corresponding front or rear walls 22', 22", 24', 24"".

[0020] Regarding the description of the further in Figure 2For the features shown, we refer to the description of the Figure 1 .

[0021] Figure 3 shows a schematic representation of a cut 50 of the packaging 10 according to Figure 1 or Figure 2 The blank 50 comprises bottom wall, top wall, front wall and back wall elements 12, 14, 22, 22', 22", 24, 24', 24" connected via bending lines 52, 54, 56, 60, 62, 64, 66, 68 to form the packaging 10 as a prismatic molded body in the folded state of the blank 50 (see also Figure 1 and 2 It can be seen that the cutout 50 includes a dust flap 36 hinged to the ends of both the front wall element 22 and the rear wall element 24. The dust flaps 36 are hinged to the front and rear wall elements 22 and 24 via corresponding bending lines 74 and 76. An adhesive flap 58 is also hinged to the lid wall element 14 via bending line 52.

[0022] It can be seen that the side flaps 26, 28 are designed such that, when the blank 50 is folded and the packaging 10 is closed, they rest against and project beyond the front and back walls or front and back wall elements 22', 22", 24', 24". To achieve this, the width a of the side flaps 26, 28 in the area where they are attached to the bottom or lid wall element 12, 14 is greater than the width b of the bottom or lid wall element 12, 14 in this area. This results in a kind of overhang 44 in the non-hinged area of ​​the side flaps 26. The respective overhangs 44 then extend beyond the front and back walls 22', 22", 24', 24" when the blank 50 is folded and when the packaging 10 is closed.In the illustrated embodiment, the side tabs 26, 28 are designed such that the side area connecting the overhangs 44 rests only on the respective front and back walls 22, 24 and does not project beyond them.

[0023] Furthermore, it can be seen that the side flaps 26, 28 in the illustrated embodiment are approximately octagonal in shape. It is also evident that the side flaps 26, 28 each have two sections 26', 26", 28', 28"". The first sections 26', 28' are connected to the base wall element 12 of the blank 50 via bend lines 70, 72. The respective second sections 26", 28" are hinged to the corresponding first sections 26', 28' via bend lines 34, which run parallel to the bend lines 70, 72. The second sections 26", 28" can be designed as insertable and / or adhesive flaps.

[0024] The cover wall element 14 of the blank 50 also has a tear tab 20, which is formed by the perforation lines 38, 40. In the area of ​​the adhesive tab 58, the tear tab 20 is continued as a pull tab 88, which is formed by the perforation lines 84, 86. The pull tab 82, formed by the cut line 80, serves to facilitate the opening of the tear tab 20.

[0025] Figure 4 shows a schematic detailed representation of the in Figure 3The cut shown is 50. It can be seen that the side flap 28 has overhangs 44 and support lugs 30, 32 in its corner areas. To form the overhang 44, a cutting line, which defines the support lugs 30, 32 and the overhang 44, projects into the area of ​​the back wall element 24". This means that the aforementioned cutting line does not intersect the bending line 72, which connects the bottom wall element 12 to the side flap 28. Furthermore, it can be seen that the dust flap 36 is hinged to the back wall element 24, which is connected to the other back wall element 24" via the bending line 60, via the bending line 74.

[0026] Figure 5 Figure 1 shows a schematic representation of a blank 50 of the packaging 10 according to a further embodiment. In contrast to the one in Figure 3In the illustrated embodiment of the blank, this embodiment shows a blank 50 in which the dust flaps 36 are not hinged to the front or rear wall element 22, 24, but rather to a non-hinged area of ​​the side flaps 26, 28 via corresponding bending lines 42, 46. In this case, the dust flaps 36 can also be used as insertion and / or adhesive flaps. It is evident that the side flaps 26, 28 nevertheless have the overhangs 44 with the corresponding support lugs 30, 32. To form the overhangs 44, the width a of the side flaps 26, 28 in the area of ​​their respective hinge to the bottom or top wall element 12, 14 is again greater than the width b of the bottom or top wall element 12, 14 in this area. Regarding the description of the further in Figure 5 For the features shown, we refer to the description of the Figure 3 .

[0027] Figure 6 shows a schematic detailed representation of the in Figure 5 The cut 50 shown is shown. It can be seen that in this embodiment, the dust flap 36 is connected to the side flap 26 via the bend line 42. To form the overhang 44 and the support lugs 30, 32, the side flap 26 is again designed in its corner areas such that a cutting line defining the overhang 44 and the support lugs 30, 32 does not intersect the bend line 70, which connects the bottom wall element 12 to the side flap 26. Furthermore, it is clear that the front wall element 22 in the illustrated embodiment does not have a dust flap but is merely bounded by a cutting line 48.

[0028] The exemplary embodiments of the packaging 10 and the blanks 50 described in the preceding figures serve to illustrate the basic principle of the present invention. In particular, a multitude of differently designed packagings are conceivable. For example, the cross-sectional areas 78 of the packaging 10, which is designed as a prismatic body, can be not only octagonal but also quadrilateral, pentagonal, hexagonal, heptagonal, ninth-sided, decalateral, eleventh-sided, or dodecagonal. Other shapes are also possible, such as round shapes, hybrid shapes between round and polygonal shapes, or triangular configurations.

[0029] The packaging described above is designed as folding boxes. Like the corresponding blanks, they consist, according to the invention, of cardboard or paper, not of plastic or comparable materials.
