Folding box with integrated folding booklet

Description

[0001] The invention relates to a folding box with an integrated folding booklet.

[0002] Folding cartons for packaging pharmaceuticals must, in accordance with the Medical Devices Regulation, contain patient information cards ( patient alert card The patient information card must be provided with information on possible interactions with other medications, particularly for specific pharmaceuticals. This card must be detachable from the carton so that the patient can carry it with them and, for example, show it at the pharmacy to check compatibility with other medications.

[0003] It is common practice to insert the patient information card into the folding cartons along with the medication (e.g., tablet blisters) and package inserts. This creates additional work for packers, as the patient information cards are delivered separately and must be inserted into the folding cartons along with the tablet blisters and package inserts. To ensure that every folding carton contains a patient information card, a check weighing or other quality control measure may be necessary.

[0004] It is also known to integrate patient information cards into the folding carton design. In this case, the patient information card can be arranged on the outside of the folding carton as a detachable extension of an external adhesive flap along a perforation line. The folding carton can be prepared accordingly by the manufacturer, so that the packer only needs to pack the medication and package insert. A disadvantage is that only a relatively small amount of information can be accommodated on the single-sided card.

[0005] Furthermore, folding cartons are known that feature a flap connected to the opening edge via a fold line. This flap carries a patient information card on one side and is folded against the inside of a side panel of the carton. The patient information card can be in a concertina-style format. With this design, the preparation of the folding carton by the manufacturer is relatively complex.

[0006] Thus, WO 99 / 12818 A1 discloses a box consisting of a die-cut blank element that is folded and glued to form a body having two openings and a plurality of wings and flaps for closing the openings. In accordance with at least one of the openings, an additional wing is provided which extends from the die-cut blank element and can be folded within the body.

[0007] Similarly, JP 2012 / 076765 A discloses an assembly packaging box in which a scoreboard is connected to the upper edge of a back panel via a fold line and a cut line. A flexible connector joins the back panel and the scoreboard; in particular, part of the scoreboard is attached to an inner surface of the back panel by means of an adhesive layer. Corresponding cut lines along the sides of the scoreboard allow it to be forcibly removed.

[0008] GB 95 / 0989 A discloses a carton for a medicinal product that requires lengthy instructions for its use. The carton is made of foldable material and is produced by folding a one-piece blank to form a series of connected parts that become the side panels of the carton. The blank is provided with one or more additional areas which, before folding, are longitudinal extensions of the sequence of parts and which, after folding, become the main side panels of the carton. The additional area(s) are cut to approximately the same size as the adjacent main side panel. When the blank is folded, the additional areas lie against the adjacent main side panels, forming additional side panels of the carton that are positioned within the inner surface of the adjacent main side panel, and whose surface can be printed on.

[0009] Furthermore, US 6,347,704 B1 discloses a carton for packaging an article with wall panels connected to each other along side edges, wherein the length of a bottom panel is not greater than the corresponding size of the adjacent wall panel end edge, wherein the bottom panels are arranged hingeably one above the other and can be positioned within the carton so that the information panel can be extended from an open end of the carton.

[0010] Furthermore, folding cartons are known in which an internal adhesive flap is connected via a perforation line to a patient information card that lies against the inside of a side wall of the folding carton. The patient information card can be a single sheet or a concertina-style booklet. The patient information card is glued to the inside of the side wall, and the sheets of the concertina booklet are glued together so that the patient information card lies flat against the side wall and does not obstruct the insertion of tablet blisters and package inserts. These folding cartons can also be pre-folded and pre-glued by the packaging manufacturer, so that the packer only has to insert the tablet blisters and package inserts and close the ends of the folding carton. A disadvantage is the extra effort required for the additional gluing of the patient information card, and that this makes removing and unfolding the card more difficult.

[0011] Based on this, the invention aims to create a folding box with a patient information card, wherein the patient information card can be printed with a comparatively large amount of information and the folding box is easier to manufacture and fill.

[0012] The problem is solved by a folding box having the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the folding box are specified in the dependent claims.

[0013] The folding box according to the invention with integrated folding booklet comprises: Side walls, wherein adjacent side walls are connected to each other at longitudinal edges via fold lines, a side wall is connected via a fold line at a longitudinal edge to an adhesive flap which is glued to an adjacent side wall, or a side wall has two overlapping and glued sections, a top closure covering a top opening bounded by the top edges of the side walls, a bottom closure covering a bottom opening bounded by the bottom edges of the side walls, a folded booklet comprising several sheets which are connected to each other via fold lines at their longitudinal edges and folded together around these fold lines and of which an outer sheet is connected via a fold line to a top edge of a side wall,wherein the booklet is folded along the fold line between the outer sheet and the side wall against the inside of this side wall, and the remaining sheets of the booklet are arranged between the outer sheet and the side wall.

[0014] The folding box according to the invention incorporates a folding booklet comprising several sheets connected to each other by fold lines along their longitudinal edges. The side walls are also connected to each other by fold lines along their longitudinal edges, such that the fold lines between the sheets of the booklet and the fold lines between the side walls run parallel to each other. An outer sheet of the booklet is connected to the upper edge of a side wall by a fold line, the upper edge of the side wall being perpendicular to the longitudinal edge of the side wall. The folded booklet is folded around the fold line connecting it to the upper edge of a side wall, towards the inside of that side wall, with the outer sheet of the booklet, connected to the side wall by a fold line, covering the remaining sheets of the booklet.Since the outermost sheet covers the other sheets of the folding booklet, it is referred to as the "outer sheet." The sheets of the folding booklet thus do not obstruct the opening of the folding box, which is defined by the upper edges of the side wall. Rather, the outer sheet of the folding booklet forms a kind of ramp along which the product can be filled into the folding box without obstruction. Gluing the sheets of the folding booklet to each other or to the adjacent side wall is not necessary. Therefore, the folding box is particularly well-suited for high-speed automated filling with medications, especially in the form of tablet blisters and package inserts.

[0015] The folding carton, including the booklet, can be manufactured by the carton manufacturer. The carton and booklet can be produced together from a single piece of blank, allowing printing, die-cutting, creasing, scoring, and folding of the carton to be combined into a single process.

[0016] The folding carton can be pre-folded and pre-glued at the carton manufacturer. Single-piece blanks for forming the folding carton, with the longitudinal edges of the booklet sheets and side panels, are transported in the machine direction. Using diverters, the booklet sheets are first folded, and then, with the aid of a return hook moving synchronously with the passing blanks, the folded booklets are folded against the inner sides of the side panels, which are connected by a fold line. Another diverter folds the glue flap against the inner side panel. In a gluing station, the glue flaps or sections of side panels can be coated with glue, and another diverter folds the side panels or sections of side panels, creating longitudinal gluing seams.Pre-folded and glued flat folding boxes can be delivered to the packer stacked on top of each other. There, the flat boxes simply need to be erected by unfolding the side walls along the fold lines on their long edges, filled through the opening between the top edges of the side walls, and closed by closing the bottom and top flaps. This can generally be done without any further gluing. The packaging process can be carried out quickly and reliably by an automated system.

[0017] According to a preferred embodiment, the sheets of the booklet are not glued together and / or the booklet is not glued to the side wall to which the booklet is connected via a fold line.

[0018] In another design, the booklet can be separated from the side panel, to which it is connected by a fold line, along a weakening line. This makes it easier to remove the booklet from the folding box. However, it is also possible to separate the booklet from the folding box without such a weakening line, for example, using scissors.

[0019] In another embodiment, the weakening line runs along an arc in the side wall to which the booklet is attached via a fold line, with both ends of the arc falling into the upper edge of the side wall to which the booklet is attached. This allows the booklet to be separated from the side wall by pressing the side wall within the arc. In yet another embodiment, the arc is dimensioned so that it can be pressed in with a thumb.

[0020] In another design, straight sections of the weakening line on both sides of the sheet coincide with the fold line between the booklet and the side panel. This makes it easier to separate the booklet from the fold line on both sides of the sheet.

[0021] According to another embodiment, the width of the pages of the booklet is less than the width of the side wall against which the booklet rests. This makes it easier to remove the booklet from the folding box after it has been detached from the side wall. To further facilitate removal, according to yet another embodiment, the two long edges of the booklet are equidistant from the two adjacent long edges of the side wall against which the booklet rests.

[0022] In another design, the upper edge of the outermost sheet of the booklet protrudes further upwards than the upper edges of the other sheets. This protruding area covers the upper edges of the other sheets, creating a smooth transition from the fold line at the top of the page to the multiple folded sheets.

[0023] According to another embodiment, the outer sheet of the folded booklet has chamfers on both sides below the protruding area, and the remaining sheets have corresponding chamfers at their upper corners, with the chamfers of the folded sheets overlapping on both sides. During filling, tablet blisters, package inserts, and the like can slide along the chamfers without getting caught on the side edges of the folded booklet.

[0024] According to another design, the pages of the booklet are folded in one of the following ways: zigzag fold, roll fold, accordion fold, parallel center fold, or a combination of parallel and cross folds. In zigzag folding, also known as leporello folding, several pages are folded in alternating directions, giving the booklet an accordion-like appearance. In roll folding, the pages, which are joined lengthwise, are always folded in the same direction. In a three-page booklet, the two side pages are folded overlapping onto the middle page. In accordion folding, the side pages are folded inwards onto a middle page without overlapping. In a three-page booklet, the middle page is twice as wide as the two side pages.If the middle section is divided into two sheets by a central fold line, the result is a four-sheet gatefold, also known as an eight-page gatefold. In a parallel center fold, the section of cardstock from which the booklet is formed is folded repeatedly in the middle. A mixed fold is a combination of one of the aforementioned parallel folds and a cross fold, in which the cardstock is folded multiple times at right angles.

[0025] According to another embodiment, the top closure comprises upper dust flaps connected by fold lines to the upper edges of two opposing side walls, a lid flap connected by a fold line to the upper edge of another side wall, and an upper tuck flap connected by a fold line to the opposite edge of the lid flap; and / or the bottom closure comprises lower dust flaps connected by fold lines to the lower edges of two opposing side walls, a bottom flap connected by a fold line to the lower edge of another side wall, and a bottom tuck flap connected by a fold line to the opposite edge of the bottom flap. The packer can close these closures by folding and tucking, without the need for glue.According to another embodiment, the upper closure has an upper adhesive flap instead of an upper insertion flap, which rests against and is glued to an outside of a side wall, and / or the lower closure has a lower adhesive flap instead of a lower insertion flap, which rests against and is glued to an outside of a side wall.

[0026] In another design, the booklet is connected to the side wall opposite the side wall, which is connected to the lid flap via a fold line. After opening the lid flap, the booklet can be easily removed from the folding box.

[0027] In another design, the booklet is connected to the side wall via a fold line, which in turn is connected to the bottom flap via a fold line at its lower edge. A folding box in which the lid flap and the bottom flap are connected to opposing side walls via fold lines is particularly stable.

[0028] In another version, the folded booklet has 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 sheets. The design basically allows for folded booklets with any number of sheets. These booklets can be printed with a particularly large amount of information.

[0029] According to another embodiment, the upper and lower dust flaps have widened edges on both sides adjacent to the fold lines, and the upper and lower insertion flaps, with their recessed edges on both sides of the fold lines, engage under these widened edges and lock into place. This locking mechanism prevents the upper and lower closures from opening unintentionally.

[0030] According to another embodiment, on both sides of the fold line connecting the lid flap to the upper tuck flap, there are upper cuts offset outwards with respect to this fold line. These cuts separate the outwardly projecting upper tabs of the lid flap from the recessed edges of the upper tuck flap. Furthermore, between the bottom flap and the lower tuck flap, on both sides of the fold line connecting the bottom flap to the lower tuck flap, there are lower cuts offset outwards with respect to this fold line. These cuts separate the outwardly projecting lower tabs of the bottom flap from the recessed edges of the lower tuck flap. The offset cuts form the recessed edges, and the projecting tabs cover the folding box at the corners next to the tuck flaps.

[0031] According to another embodiment, the sheets of the booklet are alternately connected by at least one scored line and at least one perforation line. The at least one scored line and the at least one perforation line form fold lines between the sheets of the booklet. According to yet another embodiment, the at least one scored line and the at least one perforation line are arranged such that, in the case of zigzag-folded sheets, the fold is along the at least one scored line in one direction and the fold is along the at least one perforation line in the opposite direction. This arrangement of the fold lines is advantageous from a production standpoint because the blank can be scored and perforated from the same side. Otherwise, to fold the sheets in opposite directions, the scored lines would have to be made in the material from different sides.

[0032] According to another design, the fold lines between the side walls and the glue flap, between the side walls and the dust flaps, between the side walls and the lid flap and the bottom flap, and between the lid flap and the upper tuck flap and the bottom flap and the lower tuck flap are scoring lines. These scoring lines can be added to the cardboard simultaneously when the blanks are die-cut. In particular, they can be added to the material from the same side as the scoring lines and perforation lines.

[0033] According to a preferred embodiment, the folding box is made of cardboard. For example, the folding box is made of cardboard coated on one side. The outside of the cardboard may be printed. Furthermore, the sheets of the booklet may be printed on one or both sides.

[0034] The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings of an exemplary embodiment. The drawings show: Fig. 1 a flat blank for forming the folding box in a perspective view obliquely from above and from the side; Fig. 2 the blank at the beginning of folding the booklet in the same perspective view; Fig. 3 the blank at the end of folding the booklet in the same perspective view; Fig. 4 the blank when folding the booklet against the inside of the attached side wall in the same perspective view; Fig. 5 the blank with the booklet folded against the inside of the side wall in the same perspective view; Fig. 6 the pre-folded and pre-glued flat folding box in the same perspective view; Fig. 7 the erected folding box with open top and bottom closures in a perspective view obliquely from the front; Fig. 8 the erected folding box, closed at the top and bottom, in a perspective view obliquely from the front; Fig.Fig. 9 The open folding box with the detached and partially pulled-out booklet in a perspective view from an oblique front view; Fig. 10 The folding box with the removed booklet in a perspective view from an oblique front view; Fig. 11 The folding box with the removed and unfolded booklet in a perspective view from an oblique front view; Fig. 12 The open folding box before resealing in a perspective view from an oblique front view.

[0035] In the present application, the terms "top" and "bottom", "inside" and "outside", as well as derived terms such as "above" and "below", "inside" and "outside", refer to the erected and closed folding box, in which the side walls are vertically aligned and the upper closure is located above the lower closure.

[0036] According to Fig. 1 One cutout comprises side walls 2, 3, 4, 5, which are connected to each other along their longitudinal edges via fold lines. Side walls 2, 4 are wider than side walls 3, 5. The other longitudinal edge of side wall 2 is connected to an adhesive flap 6 via a fold line.

[0037] The upper edges of the side walls 3, 5 are connected to the upper dust flaps 7, 8 via fold lines. The lower edges of the side walls 3, 5 are connected to the lower dust flaps 9, 10 via fold lines.

[0038] The upper dust flaps 7, 8 and the lower dust flaps 9, 10 each have widenings 11, 12, 13, 14 adjacent to the fold lines on the lateral edges (cf. Fig. 4 ).

[0039] The side wall 4 is connected at its upper edge via a fold line to a lid flap 15, which is connected at its opposite edge via a fold line to an upper insertion flap 16. On both sides of the latter fold line, outwardly offset upper cuts 17, 18 are present between the lid flap 15 and the upper insertion flap 16, which separate outwardly projecting upper tongues 19, 20 of the lid flap 15 from recessed edges 21, 22 of the upper insertion flap 16 (cf. Fig. 6 ).

[0040] The lower edge of the side wall 2 is connected via a fold line to a bottom flap 23, which is connected at the opposite edge via a fold line to a lower insertion flap 24. On both sides of the latter fold line, there are lower cuts 25, 26 offset outwards with respect to it, which separate outwards projecting lower tongues 27, 28 of the bottom flap 23 from recessed edges 29, 30 of the lower insertion flap 24 (cf. Fig. 6 ).

[0041] The outer corners 2 of the upper and lower insertion flaps 16, 24 have rounded edges.

[0042] Furthermore, the blank 1 comprises a folded booklet 31, which has several sheets 32, 33, 34, 35 connected to each other by fold lines along their long edges. The outer sheet 32 ​​of the folded booklet is connected to the upper edge of the side wall 2 by a fold line. The sheets 32, 33, 34, 35 are narrower than the side wall 2, so that the long edges of the folded booklet 31 are spaced on both sides from the long edges of the side wall 2. The outer sheet 32 ​​is connected to the upper edge of the side wall 2 at its center.

[0043] The outer sheet 32 ​​has a projecting area 36 that extends further towards the upper edge of the side wall 2 than the upper edges of the other sheets 33, 34, 35 of the folding booklet 31 (cf. Fig. 3 ). Below the preceding area 36, ​​the outer sheet 32 ​​has chamfers 37, 38 on both sides, and the remaining sheets 33, 34, 35 also have chamfers 39 to 44 on both sides of their upper edge.

[0044] The fold lines between sheets 32 and 33 as well as 34 and 35 are each formed as incised lines and the fold lines between sheets 33 and 34 are formed as perforation lines in the form of interrupted incised lines.

[0045] A weakening line 45 runs along a semicircular arc 46 in the side wall 2, with both ends of the arc 46 falling into the upper edge of the side wall 2. On both sides of the arc 46, straight sections 47, 48 of the weakening line 45 and the fold line between the folding booklet 31 and the side wall 2 coincide.

[0046] The leaflet 31 may in particular be a patient information card.

[0047] The first cut is processed in such a way that according to Fig. 2 First, fold pages 32, 33, 34, and 35 of the booklet together in a zigzag pattern, as shown in Fig. 3 shown. Then the folded booklet 31 is shown according to Fig. 4 folded towards the inside of side wall 2 until it is according to Fig. 5 that is what it's about.

[0048] In further steps, the adhesive flap 6 is folded against the folding booklet 31, and the side wall 4 is folded around the common fold line with the side wall 3 against its inner side. This brings the inner side wall 5 into contact with the adhesive flap 6 and glues it in place. The folding box 49, thus pre-folded and pre-glued, is in Fig. 6 It can be stacked on top of a large number of appropriately pre-folded and pre-glued folding boxes 49. The preceding steps are preferably carried out at the folding box manufacturer.

[0049] The packer erects the flat-folded folding box 49 by slightly compressing the outer longitudinal edges. In doing so, the side walls 3, 5 are aligned perpendicular to the side walls 2 and 3. The upper and lower edges of the side walls 2, 3, 4, 5 define the upper and lower openings 50, 51 of the folding box 49. In this state, the folding box is in Fig. 7 shown.

[0050] Tablet blisters and package leaflets can be inserted into the open folding carton 49 through the upper opening 50. Filling takes place through the upper opening 50 because the folding booklet 31 is hinged there, and the protruding section 36 covers the remaining sheets 33, 34, 35 located below the outer sheet 32, so that they do not obstruct the filling of the folding carton 49. Instead, the outer sheet 32 ​​forms a ramp along which the tablet blisters and package leaflets slide. During insertion, the tablet blisters and package leaflets are guided along the superimposed chamfers 37 to 44, so that they are not blocked there.

[0051] Finally, the folding box is closed by folding the upper dust flaps 7, 8 and the lower dust flaps 9, 10 into the upper opening 50 and the lower opening 51, as well as by closing the lid flap 15 and the bottom flap 23 and inserting the upper tuck flap 16 and the lower tuck flap 24 between the dust flaps 7, 8, 9, 10 and the side wall 2 or the side wall 4 respectively.

[0052] In this process, the recessed edges 21, 22, 29, 30 of the upper insertion flap 16 and the lower insertion flap 24 engage adjacent extensions 11, 12, 13, 14 of the upper dust flaps 7, 8 and the lower dust flaps 9, 10 and are thereby locked in the closed position.

[0053] The projecting tongues 19, 20, 27, 28 of the cover flap 15 and the bottom flap 23 cover the gap between the insertion flaps 16, 24 and the adjacent side walls 2, 4 at the edges. On the upper side, they cover in particular the gap on both sides of the folding booklet 31.

[0054] The closed folding box 49 is in Fig. 8 shown.

[0055] According to Fig. 9 The folding booklet 31 is separated from the side wall 2 by pressing in the weakening line 45 in the area of ​​the sheet 46 and peeling it off along the straight sections 47, 48. The upper closure 52 of the folding box 49, formed by the upper dust flaps 7, 8 and the lid flap 15, is open. The folding booklet 31 can be pulled out of the upper opening 50.

[0056] According to Fig. 10 The booklet 31 has been completely pulled out of the folding box 49.

[0057] In Fig. 11 The open booklet 31 is shown.

[0058] According to Fig. 12 The folding box 49 can be resealed after the folding booklet 31 has been removed by folding the upper dust flaps 7,8 into the upper opening 50, folding the lid flap 15 closed and inserting the upper tuck flap 16 into the gap between the upper dust flaps 7, 8 and the side wall 2.
