Transport package for individual packages of absorbent tissue paper material
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional transport packages of absorbent tissue paper material are prone to deformation and damage during loading and transport, especially when stacked on pallets, due to uneven resistance to compression, which affects their delivery condition and requires improved packaging solutions for efficient handling and storage.
Innovation Solution
A transport package design featuring a compressible packaging configuration with at least three individual stacks of absorbent tissue paper material, arranged to form a rectangular parallelepiped, where the absorbent tissue paper material contributes to limiting relative deformation along two or more dimensions, ensuring resistance to considerable loads and allowing versatile orientation during handling.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If conventional transport packages are used with identical orientation of all stacks, then resistance to compression is improved along one dimension, but the package becomes vulnerable to deformation along other dimensions and requires complex orientation management during handling
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies asymmetry by arranging individual stacks in different orientations within the transport package. Specifically, at least one stack is oriented differently from others, creating an asymmetric internal structure that provides balanced compression resistance along multiple dimensions (length, width, and height) rather than favoring only one direction. This allows the package to withstand loads from any orientation without requiring complex handling instructions.
2Productivity
If multiple transport packages are stacked on pallets during transport, then handling efficiency is improved, but the packages are subjected to considerable loads causing deformation and damage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements beforehand cushioning by designing the internal stack arrangement to preemptively absorb and distribute compression loads. The asymmetric orientation of stacks creates a structure that naturally dissipates pressure from multiple directions, protecting the tissue material inside each stack from deformation even when packages are stacked on pallets during transport and storage.
3Ease of operation
If individual packages are designed for manual handling, then ease of use is improved, but they are not suitable for efficient palletization and transport of large amounts
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the nesting principle by placing multiple individual packages (each suitable for manual handling) inside a larger transport package. The individual stacks are arranged and secured within the outer packaging, creating a nested structure that maintains the manual handleability of individual units while enabling efficient palletization and bulk transport of multiple packages together.

AI summary
A transport package including a compressible packaging and a packing configuration, the packing configuration including at least three individual stacks of absorbent tissue paper material, and the packaging maintaining said individual stacks in the packing configuration, the transport package forming a rectangular parallelepiped delimited by six outer surfaces, defining three transport package extensions extending along three perpendicular dimensions in space defining a length, a width, and a height of the transport package. A relative deformation of the transport package is defined for each of the three dimensions, being the relative shortening of the transport package extension along a selected dimension when the entire transport package is compressed with a deformation pressure of 15 kPa between two outer surfaces and along the selected dimension, wherein, for said transport package, the relative deformation along at least two out of the three dimensions is less than 10%.
