Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of manufacturing blanks for packaging. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a repeating array of blanks for forming packaging articles such as sandwich wedges or baguette packages. It also relates to the apparatus for manufacturing blanks according to the method and to blanks formed according to the method.
  • paperboard packaging has supplanted the use of clear plastic trays and wedges in applications such as the sale of pre-prepared sandwiches, baguettes, wraps and the like. This has occurred largely due to a perception amongst customers that paperboard is a more environmentally friendly material from which to produce packaging, and also because it enables the retailer to have a greater surface area available for the printing of product information and promotional material on the package without having to adhere multiple additional labels to the package.
  • these foodstuffs often contain liquids and fatty material. So, to prevent this material soaking into the paperboard, it is typically coated with a layer of polyethylene (PE) or the like on the inner face of the package to act as a barrier to this migration.
  • PE polyethylene
  • PE is not biodegradable, and also makes it more difficult to recycle the paperboard.
  • the blanks for forming the carton are made by die cutting standard sized sheets of paperboard in a process which is not continuous, adding to the cost of manufacture.
  • a clear plastic window is also provided in the carton.
  • This window is formed from a separate sheet of plastics material that is glued to the inner face of the carton. Since this is an additional step to the carton manufacturing process, it increases the cost of the carton, as well as making recycling yet more problematic. It is therefore desirable to provide an improved method of manufacturing blanks for cartons such as sandwich wedges and baguette wraps.
  • the present invention seeks to overcome, or at least mitigate, the problems of the prior art.
  • one aspect of the present invention provides a method of manufacturing a repeating array of blanks for forming packaging articles, the method comprising the steps of: a) continuously feeding a web of substrate along a press from an input end thereof; b) securing a continuous web of plastics material to the substrate to form a laminate; and c) applying perforations and/or cuts to the web of substrate to form said repeating array of blanks, wherein step a) precedes step b) and step c) precedes or succeeds step b).
  • a second aspect of the present invention provides a press apparatus configured to manufacture a repeating array of blanks for forming packaging articles according to the method of the first aspect of the present invention, the apparatus comprising: a) a drive system for continuously feeding a web of substrate along the press from an input end thereof; b) a laminating station for securing a continuous web of plastics material to the substrate to form a laminate; and c) a die cut unit for applying perforations and/or cuts to the web of substrate to form said repeating array of blanks; wherein the laminating station is upstream or downstream of the die cut unit in the direction of feed of the web of substrate.
  • a third aspect of the present invention provides a web of laminate material comprising a repeating array of blanks for forming packaging articles manufactured according to the method of the first aspect of the present invention.
  • a fourth aspect of the present invention provides carton formed from a blank manufactured according to the method of the first aspect of the present invention

  • the number of stations varies from one upwards, but typically 7-12 stations are used for consumer packaging.
  • OPP oriented polypropylene
  • polyethylene polyethylene
  • the laminate material 22 is then fed into a die cut and master control/sheeting unit 24 to have cuts, and/or perforations provided therein according to the intended use of the laminate. It is then wound onto a rewind roll 26 for transportation or storage.
  • the sheeting unit it is known for the sheeting unit to cut the reel into multiple sheets of labels for later use. This process is typically employed for the production of self-adhesive labels that have a layer of plastic applied thereto for protection (e.g. labels for milk cartons).
  • the labels are secured to a layer of release liner throughout the process.
  • the cutter is set up so as to cut through both layers of the laminate material against the release liner, which is left intact.
  • FIG 2 is a schematic side view of an eight colour ultraviolet (UV) flexo press, which has been adapted and reconfigured according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • UV ultraviolet
  • a suitable press that may be adapted is the 4150 model, manufactured by Mark Andy, Inc of St. Louis, Missouri. Like numerals have been used for parts similar to the prior art press 10, but with the addition of the prefix "1".
  • the press 110 comprises an unwind roll 112 of substrate 2, in this embodiment of paper 113, typically having a mass per unit area of between 100 and 200 g/m 2 .
  • substrate 2 in this embodiment of paper 113, typically having a mass per unit area of between 100 and 200 g/m 2 .
  • sandwich cartons for triangular cut sandwiches (“wedge packs"), this would typically be between 150 and 200 g/m 2 , e.g. 170 g/m 2 whereas for more flexible tubular filled baguette cartons it would typically be between 100 and 150 g/m 2 , e.g. 115 g/m 2 , for reasons discussed below.
  • different substrates such as OPP or PLA (polymerised lactic acid), polyester, PET, cellulose or other biodegradable/recyclable films may be used.
  • the illustrated paths of webs through the press 110 have been simplified for the sake of clarity, and would in reality be more complex (see e.g. Figure 4).
  • the press includes a mechanised drive system (not shown) to feed the webs of paper and plastics film through the press under tension.
  • the drive is capable of adjusting the tension of the webs to produce a good quality finished product without the webs tearing.
  • the web of paper 113 is fed down the press.
  • various colour inks are applied to the top side of the paper 113 (which will ultimately be the outer face of the finished packaging article formed from the blanks of the process according to the present invention).
  • the printing stations additionally print markers, such as die cut markers, to be used by later stages of the carton production process, that do not themselves form part of the present invention.
  • the print stations 114a to 114g may also apply varnishes and lacquers (typically this would be the seventh station 114g in the case of an eight station press).
  • each print station 114a to 114g has an associated UV curing device to cure one coat of ink before the next is applied.
  • different inks e.g. water based inks
  • the UV curing devices may be dispensed with, or replaced by IR heaters and/or ovens.
  • a camera 130 is also provided directed at a register print area of the web 113 to ensure the alignment of the various ink colours applied at stations 114a to 114g, and to check that markers ( Figure 5, 136) used for the later die cut stage are correctly located.
  • Lamination adhesive ( Figure 5, 146) is applied to the upper face of the web from a storage reservoir (not shown) using an anilox roller, impression cylinder and plate (also not shown) such that an even coating of adhesive 146 is applied over the entire upper face of the web 113, except for areas where windows or apertures are to be cut from web. At these locations, an additional margin of approx.l - 5 mm (preferably about 2mm) is left around the intended window area, where no adhesive is applied. This ensures that the adhesive does not find its way onto externally visible areas of the plastics film web 116 when this is applied to the paper web 113, spoiling its appearance.
  • the amount of adhesive 146 applied to the web 113 is adjusted so the minimum amount that provides a "fibre tear" adhesion (as opposed to a lower level of adhesion that causes delamination of film 116 without damaging the paper fibres of the web 113).
  • a plastics film web 116 is fed from a second roll 118 and is fed into the final (eighth) print station 114h via a corona treatment device 134.
  • the corona treatment device 134 promotes the adhesion of the adhesive to the film web 116.
  • the plastics film web 116 is either the same width as the paper web 113, or slightly narrower.
  • a compostable, biodegradable film is preferably used.

  • the plastics film web 116 is brought together with the paper web 113 at a laminating station just after the adhesive 146 has been applied thereto.
  • the two films are fed through nip rollers 120a and 120b so that the plastics film web 116 is secured to the paper web 113 and a laminate 122 of the two materials is formed.

  • the laminate is then fed to a die-cut and master control/sheeting unit 124 where perforations and/or cut lines are provided in the paper web 113 only, by "back-cutting" the paper web from the underside.
  • This is achieved by using a die cutting roller to cut against the film web 116 in the manner of a backing or liner, by carefully controlling the weight applied to the laminate 122 from above so that only the paper web 113 is cut through, leaving the film web 116 intact.
