Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a packaging insert comprising at least one bottom wall, at least one top wall with at least two receiving openings for receiving goods, and side walls connecting the bottom and top walls to form a receiving space, wherein the receiving space can be subdivided into several compartments. The invention further relates to packaging and a blank for manufacturing a packaging insert.

[0002] Such packaging inserts are known in numerous embodiments. The known packaging inserts are typically made of plastic. Any change to the design of the packaging insert, such as a change in the arrangement, shape, or size of the containers, requires a new tool. This makes their production relatively expensive. Furthermore, the use of plastic raises sustainability concerns for these packaging inserts. A cardboard packaging insert is described in DE 20 2022 102 821 U1. This known packaging insert comprises at least one container for storing goods and / or objects, and at least one frame, wherein the frame has at least one opening for receiving the container and the container includes at least one connecting tab for securely attaching the container to the frame.Although this cardboard packaging insert already offers advantages over known plastic packaging inserts, it has been found that this packaging insert has disadvantages, particularly in machine production. A packaging insert is also known from US 1,922,571 A. This insert has a frame with corresponding receiving openings, the receiving openings serving to hold corresponding containers or cups. The frame also has tabs, and when assembled, i.e., with cups inserted into the openings, the side walls of the cups rest against the tabs. The connection of the tabs to the side walls of the cups is achieved by a binding device located on the outer circumference of the packaging insert, which is not described in detail. A comparable packaging insert is also known from JP 2011-42,372 A.

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

[0004] To solve this problem, a generic packaging insert according to the features of claim 1, a package with the features of claim 10, and a blank with the features of claim 12 are used. Advantageous embodiments with expedient further developments of the invention are specified in the respective dependent claims. Advantageous embodiments of the packaging insert are to be considered as advantageous embodiments of the package and / or the blank, and vice versa.

[0005] A first aspect of the invention relates to a packaging insert comprising at least one bottom wall, at least one top wall with at least two receiving openings for receiving goods, and side walls connecting the bottom and top walls to form a receiving space, wherein the receiving space can be subdivided into several sub-spaces. The sub-spaces are each bounded by locking tabs hinged to the top wall via at least one bending line and by inner side walls arranged within the receiving space, wherein the locking tabs are designed to engage with locking openings formed in the bottom wall. The locking tabs can each have at least one locking lug for engaging with the locking openings. The bending line between the top wall and the locking tab limits the extent of the receiving opening in this area.In other words, the invention relates to a packaging insert that, through the use of locking tabs and internal side walls, is able to divide the receiving space into several compartments. This design makes it possible to transport and protect goods separately without the need for additional separating elements such as plastic partitions. Advantageously, the packaging insert can thus be manufactured sustainably and cost-effectively by machine, and in a wide variety of embodiments. This is not only more cost-effective but also more environmentally friendly, as fewer materials are required. Furthermore, the use of a one-piece packaging insert to separate compartments avoids the risk of separating elements being lost or damaged.

[0006] Furthermore, it is possible for at least one locking tab to be hinged at opposite ends of the receiving opening. In other words, the packaging insert is designed to have at least two locking tabs attached to opposite ends of the receiving opening. This arrangement eliminates the need for separate partitions, especially those made of plastic, as the locking tabs provide reliable separation of compartments or sub-spaces.

[0007] In further advantageous embodiments of the packaging insert according to the invention, the inner side walls are designed as components of an inner partition. In other words, the inner side walls can be designed not separately from the rest of the structure, but as integral parts of the inner partition. This arrangement avoids the need for separate partitions, particularly those made of plastic. The inner partition is also stabilized, and the need for additional connecting elements is eliminated. This design enables simpler and more cost-effective manufacturing of the packaging insert, as fewer individual parts are required. However, it is also possible for the inner partition to be designed as a separate element or to be integrally connected to the side wall that is not located between the bottom wall and the lid wall.Advantageously, this allows the inner partition to be designed in a variety of ways and adapted to specific requirements. Furthermore, the inner partition can comprise a first and third section for contact with the bottom wall and a second section for contact with the top wall, with the inner side wall forming the space between the first and second sections and the space between the second and third sections. This design significantly contributes to the stability of the packaging insert according to the invention. Additionally, the first section, the inner side wall, the second section, the inner side wall, and the third section of the partition can be connected to each other via bend lines or a combined sequence of bend and cut lines.In other words, these elements are designed to be flexibly connected, which simplifies packaging and facilitates assembly.

[0008] According to further advantageous embodiments, the first and third sections each have openings arranged and designed such that they completely or at least predominantly coincide with the locking openings in the bottom wall. This ensures that the function of the locking openings is not impaired by these elements of the inner partition. Alternatively, the second section may have openings arranged and designed such that they completely or at least predominantly coincide with the receiving openings in the lid wall. In other words, the second section of the packaging insert is designed so that its openings correspond to the receiving openings in the lid wall, thus fully ensuring the functionality of the receiving openings.Furthermore, it is possible that at least one limiting flap is formed on at least one edge of the opening in the second section to further define the compartment and / or to hold the goods inserted through the receiving opening. The limiting flap also allows for a more precise definition of the insert's compartment and secure retention of the inserted goods. These features contribute to improved functionality and handling of the packaging insert. It is also possible that at least one closing flap is formed on at least one edge of the opening in the second section to close the receiving opening. In other words, the packaging insert is designed to have at least one closing flap located on one edge of the opening in the second section, enabling the receiving opening to be closed.This design offers the advantage of preventing the ingress of foreign bodies or contaminants into the receiving opening, thus ensuring the quality of the product and guaranteeing hygienic storage.

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

[0010] In further advantageous embodiments of the packaging insert according to the invention, the bottom wall and / or the lid wall and / or the side walls and / or the inner partition are made of paper or cardboard and / or are coated on one or both sides, at least partially. In other words, it is possible for the insert to be manufactured from environmentally friendly materials, which eliminates the need for separate separating elements, particularly those made of plastic. The combination of paper or cardboard with a coating improves the durability and reusability of the insert, while simultaneously reducing packaging waste. This embodiment thus contributes to a more sustainable and resource-efficient packaging solution.Especially when packaging inserts contain food, at least some areas must be appropriately coated for hygienic and shelf-life reasons. Other coatings, such as water- and / or water-repellent coatings, are also possible. Furthermore, the packaging insert can be manufactured as a single piece. In other words, the packaging insert is designed to be made from a single piece, rather than assembled from several separate parts or components. This embodiment of the invention offers several technical advantages. First, it enables more efficient and cost-effective manufacturing, as fewer individual parts need to be produced and assembled. Moreover, this design avoids the risk of assembly errors or fitting difficulties between the various parts, which in turn increases the quality and reliability of the packaging insert.

[0011] A second aspect of the invention relates to packaging for receiving goods and / or objects, wherein the packaging has at least one lid element for resting on and / or resting against a lid wall of a packaging insert according to the first aspect of the invention. Furthermore, the lid element has closing flaps for at least temporarily covering the receiving openings of the lid wall of the packaging insert. In other words, the packaging is provided with an additional element that can be placed on and fixed to the upper surface of the insert within the packaging, this lid element having closing flaps that make it possible to close the packaging. Alternatively, the lid wall can rest against at least two adjacent packaging inserts and connect them together.In other words, the lid wall is designed to rest on at least two adjacent packaging inserts, thus uniting or connecting them. Furthermore, the lid wall may be designed as a component of an outer shell to enclose and hold the packaging insert.

[0012] The packaging according to the invention is simple and inexpensive to manufacture. Furthermore, a wide variety of packaging variants can be produced. Further features and their advantages of the packaging according to the invention can be found in the description of the first aspect of the invention, whereby advantageous embodiments of the first aspect of the invention are to be regarded as advantageous embodiments of the second aspect of the invention and vice versa.

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

[0014] Furthermore, it is possible for at least one locking tab to be hinged at opposite ends of the receiving opening. In other words, the cutout is designed to have at least two locking tabs attached to opposite ends of the receiving opening. This arrangement eliminates the need for separate partitions, especially those made of plastic, as the locking tabs provide reliable separation of compartments or sub-spaces.

[0015] In further advantageous embodiments of the inventive design, an inner partition wall can be arranged via a bending line or a combined bending / cutting line, which is formed parallel to the bending line or combined bending / cutting line between the side wall and the lid wall, and is connected to the other side wall, which is not located between the lid wall and the bottom wall. This design avoids the need for separate partition walls, particularly those made of plastic. This allows for simpler and more cost-effective production of the packaging insert, as fewer individual parts are required. However, it is also possible for the inner partition wall to be designed as a separate element or to be hinged in one piece with the side wall that is not located between the bottom wall and the lid wall.Advantageously, this allows the inner partition to be designed in a variety of ways and adapted to the specific requirements. Furthermore, the inner partition can comprise a first and third section for contact with the bottom wall and a second section for contact with the top wall, each in a folded state of the blank, with the inner side wall forming the space between the first and second sections and the space between the second and third sections. This design significantly contributes to the stability of the packaging insert produced from the blank according to the invention.Furthermore, it is possible for the first section, the inner side wall, the second section, the inner side wall, and the third section of the partition wall to be connected to each other via respective bending lines or a combined sequence of bending and cutting lines. In other words, these elements are designed to be flexibly connected, which facilitates their assembly.

[0016] According to further advantageous embodiments, the first and third sections each have openings arranged and designed such that, when the blank is folded, they are completely or at least predominantly aligned with the locking openings in the bottom wall. This ensures that the function of the locking openings is not impaired by these elements of the inner partition. Alternatively, the second section may have openings arranged and designed such that, when the blank is folded, they are completely or at least predominantly aligned with the receiving openings in the top wall.In other words, the second section of the cut is designed so that its openings correspond to the receiving openings in the lid wall in order to fully guarantee the function of the receiving openings.

[0017] Furthermore, it is possible that at least one limiting flap is formed on at least one edge of the opening in the second section to further define the compartment and / or to hold the goods inserted through the receiving opening. The limiting flap also allows for a more precise definition of the compartment within the packaging insert when the blank is folded and to securely hold the inserted goods. These features contribute to improved functionality and handling of the packaging insert. It is also possible that at least one closing flap is formed on at least one edge of the opening in the second section to close the receiving opening. In other words, the blank is designed to have at least one closing flap located on one edge of the opening in the second section, enabling the receiving opening to be closed.This design offers the advantage of preventing the ingress of foreign bodies or contaminants into the receiving opening, thus ensuring the quality of the product and guaranteeing hygienic storage.

[0018] In a further advantageous embodiment of the inventive blank, the receiving opening has a defined perimeter, defined by bend lines and the connecting cut lines, that is polygonal, round, semicircular, oval, or a combination thereof. In other words, the receiving opening is characterized by a defined shape determined by bend lines and cut lines. This embodiment offers the advantage of a precisely shaped insert, enabling optimal product insertion. The diverse shapes ensure flexible adaptation to various product properties and sizes.

[0019] Furthermore, the cut-out material may be coated on one or both sides, at least partially. Particularly when the packaging insert contains food, at least some areas must be coated accordingly for hygienic and shelf-life reasons.

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

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

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

[0023] Further features of the invention will become apparent from the claims, the exemplary embodiments, and the drawings.
