SHEET FOR FOLDING A FOLDING BOX

Description

[0001] The present invention relates according to claim 1 to a sheet for folding a box or a folding carton, according to claim 7 to such a box or folding carton and according to claim 8 to a manufacturing method for manufacturing the sheet.

[0002] Various types of folding boxes are known, each of which has disadvantageous properties.

[0003] For example, the document DE29822665U1 discloses a folding box with an associated lid, with side walls pivotably arranged on a base surface with associated connecting sections, wherein the lid rests on the upper limit of the side walls, wherein the lid rests on bent stabilizing strips adjoining the side walls.

[0004] Furthermore, the document WO2018 / 197400A1 discloses a method for producing a reusable packaging from a cardboard box, in which a rectangular base blank with sides X and Y and a total area xy is provided and 2 (a + h) ≤ x ≤ 3 (a + h) + a and y-2 (h + r) ≤ b ≤ y applies, where a and b correspond to the side dimensions of the base area, h to the height and r to the width or the width of the edge region R of the finished packaging reduced by the height h, and the method comprises the following further steps: - Producing fold lines B of the base blank parallel to a first side Y at at least the following distances from this: B1: a1 = h, B2: a2 = h + a, B3: a3 = 2h + a, wherein by cutting at least two separating lines T, each starting from opposite sides X,along at least one of the fold lines B or their extension, the distance between the two end points ET of the dividing lines T of the blank located closer to an axis of symmetry S1 parallel to side X is selected such that the length of the distance corresponds to a side B" of the finished packaging or to the length of a side M of an insert of the packaging.

[0005] Furthermore, FR1368264A also discloses another disadvantageous folding box.

[0006] Document GB 633 679 A forms the basis for the preamble of claims 1 and 8.

[0007] For example, a longitudinally seamed box sheet is very wide and relatively short in height. This large width and relatively short height result in a long, unstable strip that is difficult to process. In particular, mechanical folding and / or gluing is either very laborious or prone to errors. A box made from a longitudinally seamed box sheet is also relatively unstable and does not look very high-quality, as the lid often curves significantly and the base is either closed with an unsightly tuck-in flap or with an unsightly folded base that does not form a homogeneous surface.

[0008] Furthermore, a crumpled box sheet also has several disadvantages. Folding boxes made from such sheets can only be manufactured without glue. This means that the sheets only have sections that are inserted into corresponding mating points. The insertion of side wall functional sections into the box base (and protruding from the box base) is often perceived as unsightly. Furthermore, such folding boxes cannot be provided with dust flaps, which are attached to the walls bordering the receiving space and thus not to the lid, since the flaps are needed for anchoring through the base. Since side dust flaps are not possible, dust flaps are required on the lid, which is often not aesthetically desirable.

[0009] It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide a sheet for folding a folding carton or box that avoids the disadvantages known from the prior art. In particular, the sheet should be easy to machine process, create or form a flat bottom or a homogeneous bottom underside, and eliminate the need for dust flaps attached to the lid.

[0010] The aforementioned object is achieved according to the invention by a sheet according to claim 1. The sheet according to the invention is a sheet for folding a folding box or a box, in particular made of paper or cardboard. This sheet preferably has at least the following features: An elongated main body, wherein the main body is formed in its longitudinal direction by a plurality of functional parts, in particular at least or exactly or up to 8 functional parts arranged or formed one behind the other in the longitudinal direction of the main body.

[0011] A functional portion forms a first wall functional portion, wherein a first fixing functional portion is formed on one side of the first wall functional portion, wherein the first fixing functional portion and the first wall functional portion are integrally connected to one another via a defined first fold. In the context of the present invention, a fold can preferably be understood as any bend, groove, or depression, wherein the wall portions delimited from one another by a fold (on the one hand and the fold on the other hand) are preferably alignable at an angle of up to or not equal to 180°, in particular of 90°, or are provided for alignment at such an angle.

[0012] On the other side of the first wall functional portion, a base portion is preferably formed, wherein the first wall functional portion and the base portion are preferably connected to one another, preferably in one piece, via a defined second fold. On the other side of the base portion, a second wall functional portion is preferably formed, wherein the base portion and the second wall functional portion are preferably connected to one another, preferably in one piece, via a defined third fold. On the other side of the second wall functional portion, a second fixing functional portion is preferably formed, wherein the second wall functional portion and the second fixing functional portion are preferably connected to one another, preferably in one piece, via a defined fourth fold.On the other side of the second fixing function part, a third wall function part is preferably formed for at least partially superimposing the second wall function part and the second fixing function part, wherein the third wall function part and the second fixing function part are preferably connected to one another, preferably in one piece, via a defined fifth fold. On the other side of the third wall function part, a lid part is preferably formed, wherein the lid part and the third wall function part are preferably connected to one another, preferably in one piece, via a defined sixth fold. On the other side of the lid part, an insertion part is preferably formed, wherein the lid part and the insertion part are preferably connected to one another, preferably in one piece, via a defined seventh fold.In the width direction of the sheet, a first lateral wall functional portion preferably adjoins the base portion. The base portion and the first lateral wall functional portion are preferably connected to one another, preferably in one piece, via a defined eighth fold. A first dust flap is preferably formed on the first lateral wall functional portion. The first lateral wall functional portion and the first dust flap are preferably connected to one another, preferably in one piece, via a defined ninth fold. A tenth fold is preferably formed orthogonally to the ninth fold, wherein a first fixing flap is integrally connected to the first lateral wall functional portion by the tenth fold.Additionally or alternatively, an eleventh fold is preferably formed orthogonally to the ninth fold, wherein a second fixing tab is preferably connected, preferably in one piece, to the first lateral wall functional portion by means of the eleventh fold. In the width direction of the sheet, a second lateral wall functional portion preferably adjoins the bottom portion on the other hand. The bottom portion and the second lateral wall functional portion are preferably connected to one another, preferably in one piece, via a defined twelfth fold. A second dust flap is preferably formed on the other hand of the second lateral wall functional portion. The second lateral wall functional portion and the second dust flap are preferably connected to one another, preferably in one piece, via a defined thirteenth fold.A fourteenth fold is preferably formed orthogonally to the twelfth fold, wherein a third fixing tab is preferably connected, preferably in one piece, to the second lateral wall functional portion by the fourteenth fold. Additionally or alternatively, a fifteenth fold is preferably formed orthogonally to the twelfth fold, wherein a fourth fixing tab is preferably connected, preferably in one piece, to the second lateral wall functional portion by the fifteenth fold.

[0013] This solution is advantageous because a sheet for folding a box or a folding carton can be produced from at least or exactly one layer of flat material or a flat substrate, in particular paper, cardboard, film, tarpaulin, leather, metal and / or plastic.

[0014] The box folded from the sheet preferably has a flat bottom or a surface that lies completely flat against a flat surface. This means that no base sections overlap or protrude. Furthermore, the dust flaps are provided on each side wall and thus not on the lid. Furthermore, the sheet results in a width-to-length ratio that supports machine processing, allowing larger quantities to be produced in the same time unit compared to the prior art.

[0015] This solution is also advantageous because boxes folded from the sheet can be produced in a stable, attractive and simple manner, the height of which is smaller than the width and / or the depth, in particular the height is less than 0.9x the width or less than 0.8x the width or less than 0.7x the width or less than 0.6x the width or less than 0.5x the width or less than 0.4x the width or less than 0.3x the width or less than 0.2x the width or less than 0.1x the width or less than 0.05x the width and / or the height is less than 0.9x the depth or less than 0.8x the depth or less than 0.7x the depth or less than 0.6x the depth or less than 0.5x the depth or less than 0.4x the depth or less than 0.3x the depth or less than 0.2x the depth or less than 0.1x the depth or less than 0.05x the depth (x means "times").

The first adhesive element is preferably at least temporarily, in particular before the first fixing functional portion is bonded to the first wall functional portion and the first and third fixing tabs, removably covered with a protective device, in particular a protective layer, in particular made of a film material, in particular of a polymer material, or a paper material.This embodiment is advantageous because the adhesive surface of the first adhesive element can preferably only be exposed by pulling off a pull-off strip, in particular a film strip, in particular made of a polymer material, or a paper strip. This means that several sheets can be stacked on top of one another, for example for delivery, without them sticking to one another. Furthermore, the pull-off strips can preferably be removed very quickly and easily. Furthermore, the first adhesive element is preferably designed as an elongated adhesive element, wherein the length of the first adhesive element is preferably long enough that it can overlay or contact the first fixing tab on the one hand and the third fixing tab on the other. Preferably, only the first adhesive element is provided for fixing the position of the first fixing tab, the third fixing tab, the first fixing function component and the first wall function component, in particular in a permanent or non-destructive manner.According to the invention, at least one adhesive element, in particular at least one adhesive dot or at least or exactly one adhesive tape, is arranged on the second wall functional portion or on the second fixing functional portion.

[0020] According to a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, at least or exactly 2 folds and preferably 4 folds or exactly four folds or up to four folds are formed parallel to one another in the longitudinal direction of the sheet. These folds preferably comprise or enclose the eighth fold and the twelfth fold and preferably additionally the ninth fold and the thirteenth fold, in particular in the longitudinal direction L. Additionally or alternatively, it is possible for the tenth fold to preferably extend in an extension of the direction of extension of the second fold and / or the eleventh fold to preferably extend in an extension of the direction of extension of the third fold and / or the fourteenth fold to preferably extend in an extension of the direction of extension of the second fold and / or the fifteenth fold to preferably extend in an extension of the direction of extension of the third fold.According to a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, at least two of the folds 1 to 7, in particular fold 1 and fold 2 and / or fold 2 and fold 3 and / or fold 3 and fold 4 and / or fold 4 and fold 5 and / or fold 5 and fold 6 and / or fold 6 and fold 7, are formed rectilinearly and parallel to one another. This embodiment is advantageous because it facilitates or improves a very stable structure of the main body and thus machine processing.

[0021] According to a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the lid portion has a rectangular shape. Additionally or alternatively, the lid is directly connected exclusively to the sixth fold and the seventh fold; in particular, the lid portion does not have any further fold oriented orthogonally to the sixth fold and / or seventh fold or is not connected to any such fold. This embodiment is advantageous because at least no lateral dust flaps (parallel to the longitudinal direction of the main body) adjoin the lid.

[0022] According to a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the length of the first wall function portion is greater than or equal to the length of the first fixing function portion or the length of the first fixing function portion is less than or equal to the length of the first wall function portion and / or the length of the base portion is greater than the length of the first wall function portion and / or the length of the second wall function portion is equal to the length of the first wall function portion and / or the length of the first wall function portion is greater than or equal to the length of the second fixing function portion or the length of the second fixing function portion is less than or equal to the length of the first wall function portion and / or the length of the first wall function portion is greater than or equal to the length of the third wall function portion orthe length of the third wall functional portion is less than or equal to the length of the first wall functional portion and / or the length of the lid portion is greater than the length of the first wall functional portion and / or the length of the lid portion corresponds to the length of the base portion and / or the length of the first wall functional portion corresponds to the width of the first lateral wall functional portion and / or the length of the first wall functional portion corresponds to the width of the second lateral wall functional portion and / or the length of the first wall functional portion is preferably greater than the width of the first dust flap and / or the second dust flap and / or the length of the first wall functional portion is preferably at least by a factor of 1.2 or 1.3 or 1.5 or 1.8 or 2 or 2.2 greater than the width of the first dust flap and / or the second dust flap.

[0023] According to a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the main body consists at least partially of paper and / or cardboard with a weight of at least 100g / m2, in particular with a weight of at least 150g / m2 or of a weight of at least 150g / m2 or of a weight of at least 180g / m2 or of a weight of at least 210g / m2 or of a weight of at least 240g / m2 or of a weight of at least 270g / m2 or of a weight of at least 300g / m2 or of a weight of at least 330g / m2 or of a weight of at least 360g / m2 or of a weight of at least 400g / m2 or of a weight of at least 600g / m2 or of a weight of at least 800g / m2.

[0024] The aforementioned object is also achieved according to claim 7 by a box or folding box. The aforementioned object is also achieved according to claim 8 by a method for producing a sheet, in particular a sheet according to the invention described herein, in particular a sheet according to claim 1. This manufacturing method preferably comprises at least the following steps: Separating the main body from a starting substrate, in particular a single sheet preform or a continuous sheet starting material; cutting the main body to separate the first fixing tab and the third fixing tab from the first wall functional portion; cutting the main body to separate the second fixing tab and the fourth fixing tab from the second wall functional portion; creating folds, in particular folds 1 to 4 and 6 to 15, in particular folds 1 to 15. It is possible here for the 5th fold to be created in the folder-gluer. This solution is advantageous because a visually appealing and stable box or folding carton can be created in just a few steps.

[0025] According to the present invention, the sheet is fed to a folder-gluer. The folder-gluer folds at least the third wall function portion relative to the second fixing function portion, or at least the second fixing function portion relative to the third wall function portion, in particular while forming the fifth fold or along the fifth fold. This is advantageous because the folding step can be repeated very quickly and precisely, thereby achieving high quality at low cost.

[0026] According to the invention, the folding-gluing machine applies a connecting agent, in particular glue or adhesive, to the second fixing function portion and / or to the third wall function portion to bond the second fixing function portion to the third wall function portion. This is advantageous because the second fixing function portion and the third wall function portion can be bonded together very economically and thus in a resource-saving manner while ensuring the required adhesive bond. In particular, the connecting agent is applied to the rear portions of the third wall function portion and / or the second fixing function portion.

[0027] According to the invention, at least one first adhesive element, in particular at least one adhesive dot or at least or exactly one adhesive tape, is arranged on the first wall functional portion or on the first fixing functional portion. The adhesive element can be used to fix the second fixing tab, the fourth fixing tab, the second fixing functional portion, and the second wall functional portion to one another in the use position. The adhesive element is preferably at least temporarily covered with a protective device, in particular a protective layer, in particular made of a film material or a paper material, in particular before the second fixing functional portion is bonded to the second wall functional portion and the second and fourth fixing tabs.

[0028] This manufacturing process is also advantageous because, by combining mechanical gluing technology with mechanical application of the adhesive strips, a new type of sheet can be produced while maintaining high stability of the main body. The key factor here is that the main body or the die-cut blank is mechanically glued to the back of the sheet, particularly between the third wall-functional component and the second fixing-functional component. This makes it possible to fold the box over the front and back using the mechanically applied adhesive strips, thus creating the box shape.

[0029] This means that visually attractive dust flaps can remain on the sides, as they no longer need to be folded inwards. The result is a carton, box, or folding box that is inexpensively manufactured by machine and can be easily erected by the packer or user. The peel-off strips are pulled off the adhesive elements and glued to the respective fixing flaps to secure them. The dust flaps are then folded inwards, bent inwards, or pivoted inwards. The folding carton or box can then be filled and closed. Closing preferably means pushing the insert part into the receiving space enclosed on the sides by the wall functional parts. The insert part is preferably inserted or clamped into a slot between the first dust flap and the first fixing functional part.On the other hand, the plug-in part is preferably inserted or clamped into a slot between the second dust flap and the first fixing function part.

[0030] The use of the words "substantially" preferably defines, in all cases in which these words are used within the scope of the present invention, a deviation in the range of 1%-30%, in particular of 1%-20%, in particular of 1%-10%, in particular of 1%-5%, in particular of 1%-2%, from the determination that would have been given without the use of these words.
