Packung bestehend aus einem Behälter und einem DeckelPack consisting of a container and a lid
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Packung bestehend aus einem Behälter und einem Deckel, wobei der Deckel am Behälterrand über eine Siegelschicht befestigt ist.The invention relates to a package consisting of a container and a lid, wherein the lid is attached to the container edge via a sealing layer.
Packungen der eingangs genannten Art sind bekannt und werden beispielsweise für Lebensmittel verwendet. Zu diesem Zweck werden die Behälter mit Lebensmitteln befüllt und anschließend mit dem Deckel verschlossen. Das Deckelmaterial weist an der dem Behälter zugewandten Seite eine Siegelschicht auf, über welche die Deckel mit Hilfe von Siegelwerkzeugen am Behälterrand befestigt werden. Durch diesen Verschluss werden die Lebensmittel gegen das Eindringen von Luft, Feuchtigkeit und Verunreinigungen geschützt. Dennoch ist die Packung verbraucherfreundlich, da sie sich ohne zusätzliche Hilfsmittel öffnen lässt. Dies erfolgt durch Anwendung einer so genannten Aufreißkraft, die notwendig ist, um den Deckel vom Behälter abschälen zu können.Packages of the type mentioned are known and are used for example for food. For this purpose, the containers are filled with food and then closed with the lid. The lid material has, on the side facing the container, a sealing layer, via which the lids are fastened to the edge of the container with the aid of sealing tools. This closure protects the food from the ingress of air, moisture and contaminants. Nevertheless, the package is consumer friendly, as it can be opened without additional aids. This is done by applying a so-called tearing force, which is necessary to peel the lid from the container can.
Werden die Behälter mit Lebensmitteln befüllt, so ist es ein vorrangiges Ziel bei der Auswahl der Materialien, dass diese den Bestimmungen des Lebensmittelgesetzes genügen. Für Milchprodukte eignen sich als Behältermaterialien insbesondere Polystyrol, Polypropylen sowie Polyethylenterephtalat . Als Deckelmaterial werden vorzugsweise Aluminiumfolien oder Folienverbunde, enthaltend Polyme- re, Papier oder Aluminium, eingesetzt.If the containers are filled with food, it is a primary goal in the selection of materials that they comply with the provisions of the Food Law. For milk products suitable container materials are in particular polystyrene, polypropylene and polyethylene terephthalate. The cover material used is preferably aluminum foils or foil composites containing polymers, paper or aluminum.
An die vorgenannten Materialien werden immer höhere Anforderungen gestellt, so dass es nunmehr Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist, eine Verpackungslösung mit reduziertem Materialverbrauch bereit zu stellen, welche gleichzeitig den gesetzlichen Erforder- nissen sowie dem Kundenbedarf entspricht.Increasingly high demands are placed on the abovementioned materials, so that it is now the object of the present invention to provide a packaging solution with reduced material consumption, which at the same time meets the legal requirements and customer requirements.
Erfindungsgemäß wird eine Packung der eingangs genannten Art vorgeschlagen, welche dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, dass die Behälterwand zumindest im Bereich des Behälterrandes eine zum Behälterinneren hin ausgeformte Vertiefung aufweist. Vorteilhafte Ausge- staltungen der erfindungsgemäßen Packung sind gemäß Unteransprüche offenbart.According to the invention, a packing of the type mentioned is proposed, which is characterized in that the container wall has a recess formed towards the container interior at least in the region of the container edge. Advantageous embodiments of the package according to the invention are disclosed according to subclaims.
Die Erfindung betrifft weiters ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Deckels für die erfindungsgemäße Verpackung, wobei in einem kontinuierlichen Verfahren mittels Druckmarken die Deckelform auf dem Deckelmaterial aufgebracht und die Deckel anschließend ent- sprechend dieser Druckform ausgestanzt werden.The invention further relates to a method for producing a lid for the packaging according to the invention, wherein in a continuous process by means of print marks the lid shape is applied to the lid material and the covers are subsequently removed. speaking of this printing form are punched out.
Die Erfindung betrifft weiters ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Behälters für die erfindungsgemäße Packung, wobei die Behälterform sowie die in der Behälterwand vorliegende Vertiefung mittels Thermoformung unter Verwendung von Matrizen- und Patrizenwerkzeugen gebildet wird.The invention further relates to a method for producing a container for the package according to the invention, wherein the container shape and the recess present in the container wall is formed by means of thermoforming using Matrizen- and Patrizenwerkzeugen.
Die Erfindung wird im Folgenden anhand von möglichen Ausführungsformen der Erfindung sowie anhand von beispielhaften Darstellungen gemäß Fig. 1 bis 12 näher erläutert. Dabei zeigen die Fig. 1 und 2 eine Packung 1 mit einem Behälter 2, welcher eine Vertiefung 7 in Form eines Kreissegmentes aufweist. Gemäß Fig. 3 wird ein Folienmaterial 9 für die Herstellung des Deckels 3 gezeigt. Fig. 4, 5 und 6 zeigen eine besondere Ausgestaltung des Deckels 3a mit einer Ausnehmung 10 und einer Griffla- sehe 11. Die Fig. 7 und 8 zeigen einen Behälter 2a, welcher eine V- förmige Vertiefung 7a aufweist und mit einem sechseckigen Deckel 3b verschlossen wird, welcher aus einem Material wie in Fig. 9 gezeigt hergestellt werden kann. Die Fig. 10, 11 und 12 zeigen des Weiteren einen polygonalen Deckel 3c, welcher eine Ausnehmung 10a und eine Grifflasche IIa aufweist.The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to possible embodiments of the invention and with reference to exemplary representations according to FIGS. 1 to 12. 1 and 2 show a pack 1 with a container 2, which has a recess 7 in the form of a circular segment. According to FIG. 3, a film material 9 for the production of the lid 3 is shown. Figs. 4, 5 and 6 show a particular embodiment of the lid 3a with a recess 10 and a Griffla- see 11. FIGS. 7 and 8 show a container 2a, which has a V-shaped recess 7a and with a hexagonal cover 3b is closed, which can be made of a material as shown in Fig. 9. FIGS. 10, 11 and 12 further show a polygonal lid 3c, which has a recess 10a and a gripping tab IIa.
Durch die Herstellung der erfindungsgemäßen Packung soll das Ausgangsmaterial für die Herstellung der Deckel so effizient wie möglich ausgenutzt werden. Dies ist insofern erforderlich, als die Ressourcen für Aluminium limitiert und die mitunter von Kunden gewünschten Materialverbunde in ihrem Aufbau derart komplex sind, so dass auch aus diesen Gründen eine Einsparung des Ausgangsmaterials notwendig ist.By the production of the packing according to the invention, the starting material for the production of the lid should be exploited as efficiently as possible. This is necessary inasmuch as the resources for aluminum are limited and the material composites sometimes desired by customers are so complex in their construction that even for these reasons, it is necessary to save the starting material.
So werden, wie in Fig. 3 gezeigt, auf einer Verpackungsmaterialfolie 9 mittels Druckmarken die Dimensionen der Deckel 3 ange- bracht. Die Verpackungsmaterialfolie kann beispielsweise aus Aluminium oder einem Mehrlagenverbund aus einer siegelfähigen Polypropylenschicht und daran anschließenden Polyethylenschichten bestehen. Da diese Ausführungsform des Deckels 3 keine Grifflasche vorsieht, ist nahezu kein Materialverschnitt beim Ausstanzen der Deckel zu erwarten. Dennoch soll für den Verbraucher eine vereinfachte Handhabung beim Öffnen der Packung 1 - siehe Fig. 1 und 2 - gewährleistet sein, so dass der Behälter 2 zumindest in seinem Randbereich 5 eine Vertiefung 7 der Art aufweist, dass im Bereich der Vertiefung mittels Daumendruck der Deckel 3 vom Behälterrand 4 abgezogen werden kann. Um diesen Vorgang zu erleichtern, kann mitunter im Behälter- _Thus, as shown in FIG. 3, the dimensions of the covers 3 are applied to a packaging material film 9 by means of printing marks. The packaging material film can consist, for example, of aluminum or a multilayer composite of a sealable polypropylene layer and polyethylene layers adjoining it. Since this embodiment of the cover 3 does not provide a grip tab, virtually no material waste is to be expected when punching out the cover. Nevertheless, a simplified handling when opening the package 1 - see Fig. 1 and 2 - should be ensured for the consumer, so that the container 2 at least in its edge region 5 has a recess 7 of the type that in the depression by means of thumb pressure the lid 3 can be deducted from the container edge 4. In order to facilitate this process, sometimes in the container _
rand eine Sollbruchstelle 8 vorgesehen sein, welche für den Verbraucher das Anfassen des Deckels 3 beim Einleiten des Öffnungsvorganges erleichtert, wobei im Zuge der Kraftanwendung ein Teilbereich 5' aus dem Behälterrand 8 herausgerissen wird. Die Behälter 2 werden beispielsweise derart hergestellt, dass eine Polystyrolfolie einer Heizeinheit zugeführt wird, so dass das Polystyrol in einen weichelastischen Zustand gebracht wird. Anschließend wird die weichelastische Folie mittels Thermoformung unter Verwendung von Matrizen- und Patrizenwerkzeugen bearbeitet. Diese Werkzeuge sind dergestalt, dass einerseits die Vertiefung 7 im Behälterrand 8 sowie der Behälterrand 6 entsprechend Fig. 1 und 2 gebildet werden können.edge a predetermined breaking point 8 may be provided, which facilitates the gripping of the cover 3 for the consumer when initiating the opening process, wherein in the course of the application of force, a portion 5 'is torn out of the container edge 8. The containers 2 are produced, for example, such that a polystyrene film is fed to a heating unit, so that the polystyrene is brought into a soft-elastic state. Subsequently, the soft elastic film is processed by thermoforming using die and Patrizenwerkzeugen. These tools are such that on the one hand the recess 7 in the container edge 8 and the container edge 6 can be formed according to FIGS. 1 and 2.
Die Behälter 2 können nunmehr gelagert oder aber unmittelbar nach deren Herstellung befüllt und mit entsprechenden Versiegelungs- Werkzeugen unter Verwendung der ausgestanzten Deckel 3 verschlossen werden. Sollte dennoch der Wunsch bestehen, eine Öffnungshilfe in Form einer Grifflasche vorzusehen, so wird dies anhand der Fig. 4, 5 und 6 näher erläutert.The containers 2 can now be stored or filled immediately after their production and sealed with appropriate sealing tools using the punched-lid 3. Nevertheless, if there is a desire to provide an opening aid in the form of a grip tab, this will be explained in more detail with reference to FIGS. 4, 5 and 6.
Anhand von Fig. 6 wird ein materialsparendes Verfahren zur Herstellung der Deckel 3a gezeigt. Dabei werden auf der Verpackungsmaterialfolie 9 Druckmarken derart gesetzt, dass jeweils eine Grifflasche 11 in eine Ausnehmung 10 des benachbarten Deckels eingreift. So kann eine Vielzahl von Deckeln 3a ausgestanzt werden, ohne jedoch unnötig Ausgangsmaterial zu vergeuden. Da üblicherweise der Deckel in seiner Dimension auch dem Behälter angepasst werden muss, eignet sich hierzu das bereits geschilderte Thermoformungsverfahren, da nunmehr die Ausnehmung 10 im Deckel 3a passgenau mit der Vertiefung 7 im Behälterrandbereich 5 übereinstimmt. Die Grifflasche 11 selbst überragt den Behälterrand 4, was aber das Gesamterscheinungsbild der Packung Ia nicht beeinflusst, da Verbraucher an Öffnungshilfen wie die Grifflasche 11 gewöhnt sind.Referring to Fig. 6, a material-saving method for manufacturing the lids 3a is shown. In this case, 9 printing marks are set on the packaging material film such that in each case a gripping tab 11 engages in a recess 10 of the adjacent lid. Thus, a plurality of lids 3a can be punched out without, however, wasting unnecessary starting material. Since usually the lid must also be adapted to the container in its dimension, the already described thermoforming method is suitable for this purpose, since now the recess 10 in the lid 3a exactly matches the recess 7 in the container edge region 5. The grip tab 11 itself projects beyond the container edge 4, but this does not affect the overall appearance of the package Ia, since consumers are used to opening aids such as the grip tab 11.
Oftmals besteht auch der Wunsch, sich durch die Form der Packung bewusst von Mitbewerbsprodukten zu unterscheiden. Auch diese Verpackungslösung kann mit Hilfe der vorliegenden Erfindung in einfacher Weise und kostensparend gelöst werden, wie dies anhand der Fig. 7 bis 9 erläutert wird.Often there is also the desire to be differentiated by the form of the package aware of competitive products. Also, this packaging solution can be solved with the aid of the present invention in a simple manner and cost-saving, as will be explained with reference to FIGS. 7 to 9.
So wird gemäß Fig. 9 ein Folienmaterial 9 eingesetzt, auf welchem mit Hilfe von Druckmarken die sechseckige Form des Deckels 3b aufgebracht ist. Die Druckmarken werden derart positioniert, dass jeweils die Deckel 3b wabenartig angeordnet sind, so dass lediglich - - im Randbereich der Folie 9 mit Folienabfall zu rechnen ist. Auch im Hinblick auf sechseckige Deckel, welche an die jeweilige Behälterform Ib angepasst werden müssen, kann auf das Thermoformverfahren zurückgegriffen werden, mit dem Unterschied, dass hier eine U-förmi- ge Vertiefung 7a von Vorteil ist, da dort mittels Daumendruck in einfacher Weise der Öffnungsprozess, d.h. das Abschälen der Deckel 3b vom Rand 4a erfolgen kann.Thus, according to FIG. 9, a film material 9 is used on which the hexagonal shape of the cover 3b is applied by means of printing marks. The print marks are positioned such that in each case the lid 3b are arranged like a honeycomb, so that only - - In the edge region of the film 9 is expected to waste film. The thermoforming method can also be used with regard to hexagonal lids, which have to be adapted to the respective container shape Ib, with the difference that here a U-shaped depression 7a is advantageous since there by means of thumb pressure in a simple manner Opening process, ie the peeling of the lid 3b can be done from the edge 4a.
Eine besonders phantasiehafte Ausgestaltung der Deckel 3c wird anhand der Fig. 10 bis 12 erläutert. Wie aus Fig. 12 zu ersehen, wird ein polygonaler Deckel mit Hilfe von Druckmarken auf der Folie 9 vorgegeben, wobei die Ausnehmung 10a der Vertiefung 7a entspricht. An der gegenüberliegenden Seite ist eine Grifflasche IIa vorgesehen, welche zum Zwecke der Materialeinsparung in die Ausnehmung 10a des benachbarten Deckels eingreift. Werden die Deckel 3c ausgestanzt, so ist lediglich im Randbereich der Folie 9 mit unerwünschten Abfällen zu rechnen.A particularly imaginative embodiment of the cover 3c will be explained with reference to FIGS. 10 to 12. As can be seen from Fig. 12, a polygonal lid is set by means of print marks on the film 9, wherein the recess 10a corresponds to the recess 7a. On the opposite side a gripping tab IIa is provided, which engages for the purpose of saving material in the recess 10a of the adjacent lid. If the covers 3c are punched out, unwanted waste can only be expected in the edge region of the film 9.
Zusammenfassend kann gesagt werden, dass durch die erfindungsgemäße Packung einerseits Folienmaterial für die Behälterdeckel eingespart und andererseits eine besonders phantasiehafte Form der Deckel bzw., in Anpassung dazu, der Behälter erreicht wird. Obzwar mit Hilfe dieser Verpackungslösung eine bewusste Unterscheidung zu Mitbewerbsprodukten erzielt wird, ist diese dennoch gleichzeitig verbraucherfreundlich und ermöglicht es, bedingt durch den Verschluss mittels einer Siegelnaht, dass das abgefüllte Packungsgut, wie Lebensmittel, gegen Verunreinigungen, wie Luft, Feuchtigkeit oder Bakterien, geschützt ist. In summary, it can be said that on the one hand saves foil material for the container lid by the package according to the invention and on the other hand, a particularly imaginative shape of the lid or, in adaptation to the container is achieved. Although a deliberate distinction to competitive products is achieved with the help of this packaging solution, it is at the same time consumer-friendly and, due to the closure by means of a sealed seam, makes it possible to protect the packaged packaged goods, such as foodstuffs, against contaminants such as air, moisture or bacteria ,
