A “main extension plane” of an object is to be understood in particular as a plane which is parallel to a largest side surface of a smallest imaginary cuboid, which just completely encloses the object, and in particular runs through the center of the cuboid.

The application head advantageously has at least one cleaning area which is provided for a tooth cleaning application, in particular in an oral cavity of the user. The cleaning area preferably comprises at least one cleaning element, in particular at least one brush head, advantageously a toothbrush head, preferably with several bristles and / or bristle bundles. The cleaning element can, however, also be used as an interdental brush and / or be designed as a single tuft (for example a single large bundle of bristles) and / or as a bow covered with dental floss, in particular as a flosser, or the like. Furthermore, the application head advantageously has at least one neck element, which is preferably connected to the cleaning element, in particular directly and / or in one piece. "In one piece" is to be understood in particular to be at least cohesively connected, for example by a welding process, an adhesive process, an injection molding process and / or another process that appears sensible to a person skilled in the art, and / or advantageously formed in one piece, for example by a production from a casting and / or by production in a single or multi-component injection molding process and advantageously from a single blank. “Provided” is to be understood in particular as specifically designed and / or equipped. The fact that an object is provided for a specific function should be understood in particular to mean that the object fulfills and / or executes this specific function in at least one application and / or operating state.

The brush product has, in particular, a front side and a rear side, which in particular are arranged facing away from one another. The cleaning area is preferably arranged on the front side of the brush product. The front side is in particular a side of the brush product that is visible in a viewing direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the brush product and perpendicular to the width axis of the brush product. The rear side advantageously corresponds to a side of the brush product that is visible in a viewing direction opposite to this. Furthermore, the brush product has, in particular, an underside on which, for example, the suction cup is advantageously arranged. In addition, the brush product has in particular an upper side, advantageously arranged opposite the lower side, in the area of which the bristle field is attached, for example.

The handle unit preferably has at least one handle element which is advantageously provided for holding with one hand. The grip element is preferably designed with a waist, in particular multiple. This advantageously allows a secure hold and optimizes ergonomics. The handle element is particularly preferably elongated, with a longitudinal axis of the handle element advantageously corresponding to the longitudinal axis of the brush product. The grip element is advantageously formed partly from a soft component and partly from a hard component. Especially the grip element advantageously comprises at least one thumb grip area and / or at least one handle area. The thumb grip area is advantageously arranged on the front side of the brush product and in particular on a front side of the handle element. It is conceivable that the thumb grip area and / or the handle area have at least one element and / or a surface structure made of a soft component.

In this context, a “basic packaging body” should be understood to mean, in particular, a basic body of the brush product packaging device which in particular forms at least a large part of a material volume of the brush product packaging device. In particular, the packaging base body forms at least 50%, preferably at least 70% and particularly preferably at least 90% of a material volume of the brush product packaging device. The packaging base body preferably delimits the receiving area for the brush product. In particular, the basic packaging body completely forms a material delimitation of the receiving area. Furthermore, in this context, an “at least substantially closed receiving area” should be understood to mean, in particular, a packaging volume of the brush product packaging device that is at least 80%, preferably at least 90%, preferably at least 95% and particularly preferably at least 99% materially through the Packaging body is limited. The basic packaging body preferably serves to avoid direct contact with or contamination of a brush product received in the receiving area from outside the packaging, with production-related folding gaps and / or perforations which make it difficult to completely seal the basic packaging body.

“At least to a large extent” is to be understood in particular to mean that at least one main component of a material of the packaging base body is a paper material. Preferably at least 50% by weight (percent by weight), preferably at least 70% by weight and particularly preferably at least 90% by weight of the basic packaging body is made from a paper material. The basic packaging body particularly preferably consists entirely of a paper material. Furthermore, in this context, a “paper material” is to be understood to mean, in particular, a flat material be understood, which consists essentially of fibers of vegetable origin. The material is preferably made from cellulose, wood pulp and / or waste paper. The material can be single-layer or multi-layer. Multi-layer paper material consists of several layers of paper of different thicknesses and / or at least partially of different materials. The layers can be produced by gluing or pressing together, in particular without the use of glue. The grammage of the paper material is in particular between 50 g / m ² and 1000 g / m ² , preferably between 150 g / m ² and 600 g / m ² . The paper material preferably consists of fresh fiber and / or secondary fiber. The fresh fiber or primary fiber is made from new material such as FSC wood. The secondary fiber is formed in particular from a recycled paper or cardboard. Alternatively or additionally, other fillers such as grass for grass paper are also conceivable. The paper material preferably has a recycled content of at least 80%, it being possible for the paper material to contain a proportion of primary fibers. By using new material, the properties of the paper material can be kept within a narrow range. Various paper materials that appear sensible to a person skilled in the art are conceivable for the basic packaging body. In particular, the basic packaging body consists of solid cardboard, in particular a packaging cardboard. An embodiment in corrugated cardboard is also conceivable, in particular in corrugated cardboard with a low height. Furthermore, different surfaces for the paper material are conceivable. The paper material can in particular be coated, that is to say coated, as well as uncoated, that is to say uncoated. In addition, it is conceivable that the paper material is structured, for example by a 3D contour. Structuring can in particular improve the grip of the brush product packaging device. In particular, the structuring can be implemented both in the paper material itself, for example by means of surface processing and / or embossing, and in printing.

The paper material can, for example, have a print on water-based paints, which are ecological compared to conventional paints.

The paper material can be refined. A “finishing” should be understood to mean a surface treatment of the paper material, which for example leads to the paper material achieving a higher quality impression. The refinement can be applied / implemented partially in one or more places or over the entire surface. The refinement can be used, for example, to create metallic effects, visual distinctions or even product labels. The corresponding coating can also reduce the water absorption of the paper material. The paper material can therefore also be suitable for multiple use. Finishing can be a coating, for example, UV high-gloss lacquer, textured lacquer, soft-touch lacquer or glitter lacquer can be used. Foil lamination and / or hot foil stamping can be used to connect several layers, for example cardboard with a foil. Matt films, gloss films or structured films can be used. This makes the surfaces particularly durable. Embossing / embossing foil printing can be used, in particular plan or structure embossing is possible. Lamination or sealing can also be used for finishing.

The paper material as well as other parts of the packaging, such as a separate holding means made of plastic, can also be scented so that the packaging is provided with a scent which is then released in particular when it is opened. Furthermore, corresponding parts can also be provided with an antibacterial agent, which allows the packaging to become more hygienic overall and in particular to provide certain product-contacting packaging elements, for example in the area of the application head, with it.

“Provided” is to be understood in particular as specifically programmed, designed and / or equipped. The fact that an object is provided for a specific function should be understood in particular to mean that the object fulfills and / or executes this specific function in at least one application and / or operating state.

The configuration of the brush product packaging device according to the invention makes it possible, in particular, to provide packaging that is advantageously simple and inexpensive to manufacture. In particular, an advantageously flexibly producible and printable brush product packaging device can be provided. Furthermore, an advantageously high level of protection of a brush product that has been picked up can be achieved. It In particular, an advantageous stable brush product packaging apparatus can be provided. Furthermore, an advantageously high ecology of the brush product packaging device can be achieved. A high level of ecology can be achieved in particular through the use of recycled paper material. Furthermore, a brush product packaging device made from renewable materials can be provided.

It is further proposed that the brush product packaging device has at least one holding unit which at least partially protrudes into the receiving area and is provided to hold the brush product, in particular on the handle or a neck, at least partially in position relative to the receiving area and which is at least partially Most of it consists of a paper material. The holding unit can preferably be formed both by a separate unit, such as, for example, by at least one insert, and also be formed in one piece with the basic packaging body. In particular, the holding unit can also be formed merely by a shaping of the packaging base body. In particular, it would be conceivable that the holding unit is realized by shaping the basic packaging body. Furthermore, the holding unit can preferably have a universal shape and can therefore be used for various brush products or, alternatively, have an individual shape and thus be adapted to a special bristle product and a special packaging base body. In this context, a “holding unit” is to be understood in particular as a unit which is provided for at least partially fixing the brush product in the receiving area of the brush product packaging device. The holding unit can have a certain preload on the brush product. This bias is preferably applied to the handle and / or neck, the brush head or the bristles preferably remaining without a bias. The pre-tension applied is sufficient to hold the brush product in position during transport. Pre-tensioning forces of less than 100 g, preferably less than 50 g, are usually sufficient for this. Brush products mostly consist of hard plastics, soft plastics and bristles. In order to offer maximum protection, any preload is preferably applied essentially to the hard plastic of the handle and, less preferably, also to the soft plastic of the handle, but not to the bristles or the bristle field. A fixation can in particular by receiving part of the brush product in a holding recess of the holding unit and / or can be achieved by clamping the brush product in the receiving area, for example opposite the inside of the basic packaging body. The holding unit is preferably provided to reduce a play of movement of the brush product in the receiving area in relation to the absence of the holding unit. In particular, the holding unit is provided to reduce damage and / or deformation of the bristles of an application head of the brush product due to a movement of the brush product within the receiving area. In particular, a rattling noise caused by a movement of the brush product in the brush product packaging device, in particular when the brush product packaging device is shaken or transported, can be avoided by means of the holding element. Furthermore, a protective function can be achieved. In particular, product parts such as the brush head or the brush field can be protected by supporting / holding the brush in such a way that the bristles are not stressed. Furthermore, deformable product parts made of soft plastic material such as suction cups, tongue cleaners, grip elements can also be protected from deformation. As a result, reliable securing of the brush product in the brush product packaging device can be achieved in particular. In particular, damage to the brush product during transport can be avoided.

In particular, various holding units that appear useful to a person skilled in the art are conceivable. In particular, it would be conceivable that the holding unit is combined with a tear tab of a perforation strip, so that the holding unit is removed when the product is torn and thereby a jamming or the preload is released during opening. Furthermore, it would be conceivable that the holding unit has at least one element that is created in the receiving area of the brush product packaging device when the packaging base body is erected. A corresponding element can for example be glued in and protrude into the receiving area as an extension. In particular, a tightness with regard to dust of the packaging base body would not be affected, with cardboard being additionally required. A corresponding element can in particular be fastened over an edge, the element being fastened on each of two sides and grooves and / or perforations being provided between them. When the sides are set up in relation to one another, the element stands up and a clamping element is formed. Alternatively or additionally, it would be conceivable that the holding unit has a double adhesive, in particular a double-sided adhesive tape, which is attached, for example, to a base of the packaging base body, so that the brush product is fixed by the adhesive strip. The adhesive strip is designed in such a way that it is well anchored to the brush product packaging device, but the brush product can be detached therefrom with little effort and then no residue is left on the brush product. The brush product can be released by simply lifting it off, restricting the possibility of movement. Depending on the filling of the brush product packaging device, however, it may be more difficult to introduce the double adhesive and / or the brush product, in particular when filling from an underside or an upper side. Alternatively or additionally, it would be conceivable that the holding unit has an additional part that is adapted to the product shape as a holding means, which is inserted beforehand into the basic packaging body and / or is produced with it and / or is introduced together with the brush product. In the case of filling from an underside or an upper side, it would be particularly conceivable that the additional part is brought together with the brush product before being introduced into the basic packaging body and this combined unit is introduced together into the basic packaging body or into the receiving area. The additional part has, in particular, a precisely fitting shape. Furthermore, the additional part can be glued and / or sealed into the packaging base body or clamped without a fixed fixing or also not fixed. In particular, the additional part can also be designed as a shaped blister or shaped deep-drawn part, this preferably being made from plastic film and preferably made from a sustainable plastic, i.e. in particular recycling material or a renewable raw material as the basis.

It is further proposed that the at least one holding unit is at least partially formed in one piece with the packaging base body. The at least one holding unit is preferably designed completely in one piece with the packaging base body. In this context, “at least partially in one piece” is to be understood as meaning that at least one component of at least one object and / or at least one first object is formed in one piece with at least one component of at least one further object and / or in one piece with at least one further object. In particular, “integral” is intended to be at least cohesively connected be understood, for example by a welding process, an adhesive process, an injection molding process and / or another process that appears sensible to a person skilled in the art, and / or advantageously formed in one piece, such as by production from a cast, in particular from a blank and / or by manufacturing in a single or multi-component injection molding process and advantageously from a single blank. As a result, a number of components in particular can be kept low. In particular, simple and quick manufacture of the brush product packaging device can be achieved.

It is further proposed that the at least one holding unit has at least one holding means which is formed by an indentation in the basic packaging body. The holding means is preferably formed by a waist in the basic packaging body, in particular in a hood element of the basic packaging body. In particular, the brush product is pressed into the intended position or held in the intended position by means of the holding means by means of prestressing. In particular, the brush product is pressed against an inside of the packaging base body by means of the holding means. In principle, it would also be conceivable that several, in particular two or three, corresponding holding means are provided, which are arranged, for example, on opposite edges of the basic packaging body and / or on the same edge of the basic packaging body. It would also be conceivable for the indentation to be placed over the rear edge so that the resulting contour protrudes into the side surface and the rear of the basic packaging body. In particular, the at least one holding means is produced by a grooving or formed edge in the basic packaging body. The resulting indentation can also lead to a deformation of the remaining surface so that a rear side is no longer flat, for example. Alternatively or additionally, the at least one holding means can also be designed as a clamping element in the hood element. A corresponding clamping element can in particular be produced, for example, by two cuts across an edge of the basic packaging body, with the corner in particular being turned inward, and thus forming an inwardly protruding step. The holding element is produced in particular by deformation. A corresponding clamping element leads to relatively large openings for the cuts. This can in particular provide a reliable backup of the brush product can be achieved in the brush product packaging apparatus. In particular, damage to the brush product during transport can be avoided. In particular, it can thereby be achieved that the brush product is also only secured subsequently, in particular after packaging, by deforming the basic packaging body.

It is further proposed that the at least one holding unit has at least one holding means which is formed from existing parts of the brush product packaging device. For example, elements such as dust flaps, sealing edges or even adhesive flaps can be shaped in such a way that they are partially designed as holding means and thus support the product in the packaging. It is also possible, especially in the case of dust flaps, for their original function to be misused. This means that dust flaps, for example, are no longer used as dust flaps, but rather as holding means, for example by being folded into the receiving area of the basic packaging body. The dust flaps are preferably designed in at least one embodiment as holding means of the holding unit and are provided to hold the brush product, in particular on the handle or a neck, at least partially in position relative to the receiving area.

It is further proposed that the at least one holding unit has at least one folding element. The folding element is preferably formed by a separate component different from the basic packaging body. The holding unit can in particular have one or more folding elements. In particular, when there are several brush products in the same receiving area, several folding elements can be useful. However, it is also conceivable that several folding elements are necessary depending on the brush geometry of the brush product. In the case of several folding elements, the brush product can in particular be inserted once and clamped once or inserted several times and clamped several times. In this context, a “folding element” is to be understood in particular as an element produced by folding a paper material. In particular, the folding element is made from a flat blank in which the folding options, in particular in the form of grooves and / or perforations, are already integrated. The folding element is preferably formed by an insert for the basic packaging body. In particular, the folding element is for this intended to be arranged in the receiving area of the brush product packaging device. In particular, the folding element is provided for fixing the brush product in the receiving area. As already described, fixation can be achieved in particular both by pretensioning or clamping and holding the brush product between the folding element and the inside of the packaging base body, as well as through a recess in the folding element into which the brush product is placed directly. In principle, a combined folding element with a recess and a clamping option would also be conceivable. A “groove” should be understood to mean, in particular, a deformation in a cardboard box produced by means of a forming process. In order to be able to fold cardboard sheets better, for example, the cardboard is weakened at the fold using a so-called crease line. In particular, there is a linear displacement of the material in order to create better flexibility. In this context, a “perforation” is to be understood as meaning in particular a perforation of hollow bodies or flat objects. As a result, reliable securing of the brush product in the brush product packaging device can be achieved in particular. In particular, damage to the brush product during transport can be avoided. In particular, an optimized fixation of different bristle products can be achieved independently of the packaging base body. In particular, different bristle products can be packaged in the same basic packaging body.

Furthermore, it is conceivable that, depending on the folding angle of the folding element, different heights of the folding element can be realized, which of course also brings about differences in the length and width dimensions, which increase due to the lower height for the same component. In this way, different effective sizes of a receptacle can preferably be realized with the same folding element and thus different bristle products with different shapes or geometries can also be fixed. The folding element can be fastened and positioned in various ways that appear sensible to a person skilled in the art. The folding element can only be inserted and positioned, for example, by clamping between the side surfaces. However, this can lead to slipping. Alternatively this can Fold element are fixed, such as by gluing, by hooking, by clamping in recesses and / or cutouts and / or by means of sealing.

The position for fixing the brush product is particularly variable. In particular, the position is dependent on a geometry of the receiving area and a geometry of the brush product. A preferred position for fixing the brush product is in particular a neck of the brush product. In particular, both reliable fixation and reliable protection of the bristle field can be achieved here.

It is further proposed that the at least one folding element forms at least one recess for receiving a neck of a brush product. In particular, the folding element forms a groove-shaped recess. The recess is preferably made in at least two areas of the folding element. In particular, at least two surfaces of the folding element each have a recess, the recesses being connected to one another on at least one side. The recess can have various shapes. In a folded state of the folding element, the recess is preferably tapered from a free end, which in particular results in better clamping. The recess is particularly preferably trapezoidal or semi-oval-shaped. In particular, the groove has a width of 3 mm to 10 mm, preferably 3 mm to 6 mm, in a lower region. Furthermore, at a free, open end, the recess has, in particular, a width of 4 mm to 15 mm, preferably 5 mm to 10 mm. The depth of the recess, measured on the surface of the folding element, is in particular from 3 mm to 12 mm, preferably from 5 mm to 10 mm. In this way, in particular, advantageously direct securing of the brush product in the brush product packaging device can be achieved. In particular, damage to the brush product during transport can be avoided.

It is further proposed that the at least one folding element has at least one fixing section which is provided to clamp a neck of a brush product against the packaging base body. The fixing section can preferably be provided in addition to a groove, in particular in order to be able to fix different brush products with different shapes or geometries with the same folding element. In this way, various Brush products are packaged with the same brush product packaging devices, preferably with different printing. The folding element preferably has at least three areas, namely a first fastening area in which the folding element is connected to the packaging base body, a fixing area in which the folding element is provided to fix the brush product, and a second fastening area in which the folding element is connected to the packaging body. The fixing region is preferably arranged between the first fastening region and the second fastening region. The fixing area of the folding element preferably forms an elevation. The fixing section is particularly preferably formed from a side contour of the fixing area. In particular, the fixing section, together with a side wall of the packaging base body, forms a constriction in the receiving area in which the brush product can be fixed. In this context, a “fixing section” is to be understood as meaning in particular a contour, in particular an outer contour, of the folding element which is provided for direct contact with the brush product. The contour is preferably provided for clamping or applying a preload of the brush product between the contour and a side wall of the basic packaging body. In this way, in particular, advantageously direct securing of the brush product in the brush product packaging device can be achieved. In particular, damage to the brush product during transport can be avoided.

It is also proposed that the at least one folding element is designed to be connected to the basic packaging body. The at least one folding element is preferably designed to be glued into the basic packaging body. The folding element is preferably glued flat to the basic packaging body in the at least two fastening areas. In particular, the folding element is glued on an inside of the packaging base body on a base side of a hood element. In this way, in particular, the folding element can be prevented from slipping. In particular, targeted positioning of the brush product in the receiving area can be achieved.

It is further proposed that the at least one folding element has an at least approximately circular base area in a state arranged in the packaging base body. Preferably, the folding element is in one in the Packaging base body arranged state assembled and executed folded. The at least one folding element preferably has an egg-shaped outer shape in the unfolded state, the outer shape being designed in such a way that it has a circular base area in a folded state. A circular base area has the advantage that the folding element can be arranged in any position in any orientation. Due to the circular shape, the folding element can in particular be positioned as desired, in particular with regard to the angle between a receptacle of the folding element and the longitudinal axis of the brush product. In particular, different neck thicknesses can be covered in relation to the opening. The same applies, in particular, when the brush product is jammed on an outside of the folding element. Alternatively, it would also be conceivable for the folding element to have a shape that approximates a circular shape, such as in particular an n-cornered shape. In this way it could be achieved that when the folding element rests against an edge of an inside of the pack, the folding element can advantageously be positioned. In particular, by virtue of the circular or approximated geometry of the folding element, the folding element can be positioned at any angle to the longitudinal axis. The angle can in particular be adapted to a clamped or inserted brush product depending on the application and can also be different. Alternatively, it would also be conceivable that the at least one folding element has a rectangular outer shape. In this way, particularly advantageous clamping of the folding element in the receiving area could be achieved. In particular, it would be conceivable that the folding element extends, for example, from one side of the receiving area to the other, so that the folding element is at least partially arranged in a position-stable manner. In particular, this could enable assembly without gluing. However, a rectangular outer shape in particular has less variability with regard to positioning, application, in particular with regard to clamping, and / or an orientation option. In the case of the rectangular outer shape, however, it would be conceivable that the fold for the elevation is oriented at an angle different from 90 ° with respect to the outer shape.

Furthermore, it is proposed that the at least one folding element, when arranged in the packaging base body, has a maximum extension of 10 mm to 50 mm. An unfolded blank of the folding element in particular has a length of 20 mm to 50 mm, preferably 30 mm to 40 mm. Furthermore, the unfolded blank of the folding element in particular a width of 10 mm to 30 mm, preferably 9 mm to 13 mm. In a folded, assembled state, the folding element has in particular a circular base area. A diameter of the base is in particular from 10 mm to 30 mm, preferably from 9 mm to 13 mm. A height of the folding element in a folded, assembled state is in particular from 8 mm to 16 mm, preferably from 9 mm to 13 mm. In this way, an advantageous folding element can in particular be provided.

It is further proposed that the at least one basic packaging body has a flat card element and a folded hood element applied to the card element, each of which consists at least for the most part of a paper material. The hood element is preferably firmly connected to the card element in an assembled state. Preferably, an extension of the hood element along the main direction of extension of the brush product packaging device corresponds at least essentially to an extension of the card element along the main direction of extension of the brush product packaging device. The card element is arranged in particular on a front side of the brush product packaging device and preferably has a euro-hole recess in particular at an upper end. The card element can in particular also be designed as a rear side, so that the hood element forms the front side or the visible side. The card element is preferably designed to be at least substantially rectangular. In principle, the card element can be designed with a contour, but only outside of the seal. Furthermore, the card element is preferably flat. In this way, in particular, a sealing edge can be implemented in one plane. In principle, however, it would also be conceivable that the card is angled or has one or more kinks. For this purpose, the sealing tool must in particular be constructed with several levels so that the sealing surface is angled. Depending on the configuration, this can result in suboptimal stacking, which, however, is also dependent on a configuration of the hood element. The hood element is arranged in particular on a rear side of the brush product packaging device. The hood element has, in particular, boundary surfaces delimiting the receiving area as well as sealing edges connected to the boundary surfaces, which are provided for a connection with the card element. The sealing edges are in particular via perforations and / or grooves with the boundary surfaces connected. In the case of perforations, these have in particular a cutting length of 1.5 mm to 7 mm, preferably 2.5 mm to 5.5 mm, and a holding length of 1 mm to 4 mm, preferably 1.5 mm to 3 mm, on. The perforation should in particular be stable so that it does not tear in the event of blows during transport. In the case of creasing, a notch is mechanically made in a material containing paper or cardboard, so that a groove is created, whereby the material can be folded in a defined manner at this point with less effort. Preferably, the hood element does not have a pure grooving at the transitions to the sealing edges, but only a grooving with perforation. In this way, in particular a basic packaging body that can advantageously be produced can be provided. In particular, advantageous equipping of the packaging base body can be achieved. In particular, the brush product can be inserted from a front side. In particular, a trough formed by the hood element is accessible from above, so that top loading, that is to say filling the hood element from above, is possible. This allows advantageous automation to be achieved.

Preferably, a cardboard blister can be provided over several different products of a similar type by means of the brush product packaging device. In particular, it would be conceivable that the hood element on the back is identical for all brush products, while the card element on the front varies, for example with respect to the contour. Different brush products are especially made with different fixing elements or with variable, i. Fixing elements adapted to the product during the packaging process. In particular, simple production can be achieved since machines only have to be changed over slightly between products.

The basic packaging body is preferably made from solid cardboard. In particular, the card element has a length of 50 mm to 300 mm, preferably 100 mm to 260 mm. Furthermore, the card element in particular has a width of 20 mm to 150 mm, preferably 35 mm to 135 mm. The grammage of the card element is in particular from 200 g / m ² to 500 g / m ² , preferably from 250 g / m ² to 450 g / m ² . The hood element preferably has the same material thickness as the card element. However, it would also be conceivable that the card element is more stable than the hood element, in particular due to a higher grammage and / or a greater material thickness. For example, the card element could have a grammage of 300 g / m ² , while the hood element has a grammage of 250 g / m ² . In a flat state, the hood element has in particular a length of 70 mm to 320 mm, preferably 110 mm to 280 mm, in particular including the euro-hole recess. Furthermore, in a flat state, the hood element has, in particular, a width of 40 mm to 150 mm, preferably 50 mm to 120 mm. The width is made up of a sealing edge, a side height, a tray width, the side height and a further sealing edge in the order from side to side. In a molded state of the hood element, the internal dimensions of the trough forming the receiving area on a side facing the card element are a length of 50 mm to 250 mm, preferably 100 mm to 200 mm, and a width of 15 mm to 60 mm, preferably 20 mm to 40 mm. The hood element has a conicity from a side facing the card element towards a base, the conicity being in particular identical on opposite sides. An angle of the conicity is in particular from 2 ° to 20 °, preferably from 2 ° to 10 °. This configuration allows a stable construction which protects the product sufficiently during transport. Furthermore, the height of the hood element in a molded state is in particular from 10 mm to 25 mm, preferably from 14 mm to 20 mm. The total height of the basic packaging body is in particular from 8 mm to 35 mm, preferably from 12 mm to 25 mm. This preferably represents a multiplier, in particular a multiplier of 9.13 mm, of a corrugated spacing of a tray packaging. If there is a deviation from the multiplier, in particular air can be created in the secondary packaging or a flowering can be achieved. The grammage of the hood element is in particular from 200 g / m ² to 500 g / m ² , preferably from 250 g / m ² to 450 g / m ² . Preferably, the front and the rear of the basic packaging body are parallel. This provides an optimized space when placing and also a certain stackability. When standing, it is possible, in particular, to position in a tray with as little air or space as possible. In particular, the packaging can be placed against one another. This maximizes the stability of the primary and secondary packaging. Alternatively, it would also be conceivable that the basic packaging body is parallel at the top and bottom and has less height in the middle. In this way, air or a gap is created in the middle in particular. In principle, it would also be conceivable that the front and back of the Packaging body are not parallel, that is, for example, have a conical shape. There is the possibility of crossed stacking in order to avoid air or large gaps in the packaging. In particular, this does not offer optimal product presentation and storage. Alternatively, it would also be conceivable that the basic packaging body is parallel in one area and not in another, as in particular with a conical shape. In particular, designs are conceivable in which dents or the like do not protrude beyond the parallel part, which enables optimized stacking. In particular, it would be conceivable that the hood element is not angular, but rather arched and / or even has a contour with concave or convex elements, in particular for example like an air dome. In this case, a grooving could be made in particular at the highest point in order to better shape the contour. The edges of the hood element could still be sealed. However, it must be taken into account that a corresponding contour cannot be shaped so precisely, so that shape tolerances can arise. In order to achieve this, the hood element could also be deformed during the packaging process by means of heat and / or pressure and / or the supply of moisture (eg steam).

In particular, the brush product packaging device can serve as a one-pack as well as a two-pack or three-pack. In the case of a configuration as a two-pack or three-pack, in particular several independent or interconnected hood elements can be provided, which are applied to a card element, each hood element in particular being able to be opened separately. The card element can be designed to be separable between the hood elements, for example by means of perforation. The hood elements are designed in particular to be identical. However, it would also be conceivable that only one hood element with subdivisions is provided for several brush products. A plurality of brush products are preferably arranged in a trough of the hood element. It would be particularly conceivable that the hood element can be opened and reclosed. In particular, several holding means and / or folding elements can be provided. Depending on a number of brush products and depending on an arrangement of the brush products in the trough of the hood element, the dimensions of the hood element and the size of the card element change accordingly.

The brush packaging device for a multiple pack can be designed such that the individual hood elements are designed to be separately separable. The individual hood elements belonging to the products are individually sealed. The respective sealing areas have a distance of 1 mm to 5 mm. A perforation is made in this area, which enables individual hood elements and thus individual products to be separated. In this case, it is possible that a perforation continues over the entire card to the euro-hole recess; the grammage of the card and the position of the perforation in relation to the euro-hole recess must be chosen so that stability is nevertheless guaranteed .

In addition to the brush product, other other products can be introduced into the packaging in the broadest sense in the manner of a multiple pack. These are, for example, another interchangeable head of an interchangeable toothbrush, a mini toothpaste tube, replacement battery (s), flossers, interdental brushes, several interchangeable brush heads. Instructions for use or other documentation for the product can also be included. These can be fixed with a holding unit, for example.

It is further proposed that the at least one basic packaging body has a guide section with a reduced depth on at least two opposing edges which extend at least substantially parallel to a main direction of extent. The guide sections preferably each have a reduced depth compared to the total depth. The basic packaging body preferably has straight outer edges parallel to one another in the at least two guide sections. The guide sections serve in particular to accommodate the brush product packaging device in a tray packaging. The brush product packaging device is in particular inserted into guides of the tray packaging. A lower edge connecting the two guide sections is preferably designed to be straight in order to enable the brush product packaging device to stand better in a tray packaging. In particular, this can enable support. The edges in the guide sections are preferably not rectangular, but rounded designed to enable good pluggability and / or insertability into a guide. A maximum thickness of the basic packaging body is in each case in particular from 0.2 mm to 2.5 mm, preferably from 0.3 mm to 1 mm, in the guide sections. For the reception in a plastic base of a tray packaging, the thickness of the guide sections is in particular around 1 mm. In the case of a packaging insert of the tray packaging made of corrugated cardboard, a greater thickness tolerance is possible and greater free spaces exist. The width of the guide sections is in particular from 1.5 mm to 6 mm, preferably from 2.5 mm to 4.5 mm. For the reception in a plastic base of a tray packaging, the width of the guide sections is in particular around 3 mm. The width of the guide sections is defined in particular by the area until the thickness of the basic packaging body increases significantly, in particular until the trough of the hood element begins. In the case of a packaging insert of the tray packaging made from corrugated cardboard, a height of the guide sections is adapted to the height of the packaging insert. However, it would also be conceivable that the guide sections extend over the entire main extension of the basic packaging body. In addition, it would be conceivable that two opposing edges, which extend at least substantially parallel to a main direction of extent, have a conicity towards the lower end. In principle, it would also be conceivable for the guide sections to have a rounded contour, with a straight subsection preferably at a lower edge. As a result, the brush product packaging device can be advantageously plugged into a tray packaging.

Furthermore, it is proposed that the at least one basic packaging body in each of the guide sections is at least partially multi-layered. Both the card element and the hood element are preferably arranged in the guide sections. It is further proposed that the card element and the hood element are arranged in the guide sections in each case at least partially overlapping. In particular, the sealing edges of the hood element each overlap the card element in the guide sections. Furthermore, it is also possible, with corresponding dimensional differences, that, for example, only the card element is present in the guide sections. That is, the card element is much wider than the hood element and ultimately they are formed Guide sections only on the hood element. Alternatively, the basic packaging body is folded like a harmonica in each of the guide sections. In particular, it would be conceivable that the basic packaging body has a lens-shaped cross section in a lower region facing away from the euro hole recess, in particular the grip region, the guide sections being arranged in each case in the tapered sides of the lens-shaped cross section. In this way, in particular, an advantageously high stability of the guide sections can be achieved.

It is further proposed that the packaging base body has a grip area receiving the handle of the brush product and a head area receiving the head of the brush product, the guide sections being arranged exclusively in a grip area of the packaging base body. Preferably, a shape, in particular a cross section, of the packaging base body in the grip area differs from a shape, in particular a cross section, of the packaging base body in the head area. As a result, the basic packaging body can be made particularly advantageously large in the head area. In particular, a guide section in the head area can be dispensed with.

The card element can optionally be designed twice. This means that the card element is shaped on the one hand as a card element and on the other hand as the outer frame of the card element, these two parts being connected to one another via a fold. The card element is connected to the outer frame, ie the recess is connected to the hood element. The hood is thus stabilized and the product can finally be removed from the receiving area through the recess. The card element connected via the fold is placed over the fold over the card element with the recess, the external geometries being identical and the size difference being less than 5 mm, preferably less than 2 mm. After the packaging has been connected and filled, the card element is placed on the card element with the recess using the fold and connected to it. For example, with adhesive strips that are run over the outer edge. It is also possible that the card element is already placed on the card element with the recess and is connected, for example, by means of a perforation. In this case, the hood element would be molded, filled with the product and placed on the called way prepared card element placed on the hood element and connected to this. The packaging formed in this way can be designed to be resealable and can also be used in this way.

It is further proposed that the at least one packaging base body has at least two converging edges, which each extend essentially parallel to a main direction of extent. The at least one basic packaging body preferably has two converging edges on opposite sides, each of which extends essentially parallel to a main direction of extent. The converging edges preferably each extend over a substantial part of a main extension of the packaging base body, the converging edges in particular tapering off in a grip area. The four converging edges in a head region preferably each form one of the four side edges of a rectangular cross section of the basic packaging body. The edges of the basic packaging body preferably each converge towards the guide section. In particular, the edges to the front and back are tailored. Particularly preferably, a further folded edge is arranged between each of the at least two converging edges, each of which extends essentially parallel to a main direction of extent. The further folded edges each form in particular the edge of one of the guide sections. As a result, the guide sections can be designed particularly advantageously. As a result, the guide sections can advantageously be made thin, which means that they can be reliably inserted into a tray package. In particular, a change in cross-section of the basic packaging body can be achieved along the main direction of extent.

Furthermore, it is proposed that the at least one basic packaging body has a handle area receiving the handle of the brush product and a head area receiving the head of the brush product, the receiving area having a cross section perpendicular to the main direction of extent in the grip area which is substantially different from a cross section of the receiving area in the Head area is different. A cross section of the receiving area preferably changes continuously from a lower end of the receiving area towards an upper end of the receiving area. In this way, in particular, an advantageously adapted receiving area can be achieved.

It is further proposed that the receiving area in the grip area has at least one lens-shaped cross section perpendicular to the main direction of extent. In this context, a “lens-shaped cross section” is to be understood in particular as a cross section in the form of a cross section of a biconvex convergent lens. The cross section preferably has two convexly curved sides which each converge at both ends to form an edge. The lens shape can in particular fix a handle or an advantageous preload on the handle of the brush product in the handle area. The brush product, in particular in the case of toothbrushes, is clamped in the grip area in particular without inserting. In particular, a separate, additional insert can be dispensed with. The handle of the brush product is preferably fixed, in particular depending on the design, by pretensioning the lens-shaped cross section. The preload makes it possible to pack handles with different shapes or geometries in the same basic packaging body. In the lens-shaped cross section, the packaging base body forms part of the holding unit in particular. In the case of brush products with a rather flat handle, this is aligned so that they are clamped in the lower area and the bristle field is directed towards the front. The clamping and alignment took place in particular through the lens-shaped cross section. In the case of brush products with a more rounded handle, the clamping takes place in particular through the lens-shaped cross section, with the brush product no longer being able to rotate due to the forces. In particular, a brush head is directed to one side. However, it would also be conceivable for the brush head with a corresponding shape of the handle to be arranged at a different angle (eg up to 45 °, preferably up to 30 °), the bristles not being crushed in this configuration either. In addition, the lens-shaped cross-section makes it possible in particular for the brush product packaging device to be plugged in and to improve ergonomics. In particular, a modern design can be created. It is further proposed that the receiving area in the head area has at least an essentially rectangular cross section perpendicular to the main direction of extent. In particular, a bristle field can be protected by the rectangular shape. In particular, there can be a load on the bristle field of the brush product be avoided outside. In particular, no parts running at an angle are provided in the head region of the brush product packaging device. It is also proposed that a cross section of the receiving area perpendicular to the main direction of extent along the main direction of extent from the head area to the grip area, in particular continuously, merges from a rectangular cross section into a lenticular cross section. The basic packaging body is preferably designed in one piece. The packaging base body can alternatively also be constructed from two connected parts. The entire brush product packaging device can in particular be produced from a blank. The basic packaging body is designed in particular folded. In particular, grooves are provided on the edges, which support folding. However, it would also be conceivable that no grooves or only partial grooves are provided, in which case advantages in terms of delivery and / or storage in particular are lost. In particular, a simple molding process can be achieved in this way.

In a corresponding configuration, the basic packaging body preferably has a decreasing height profile from the front to the rear from top to bottom, with in particular a wedge shape and additionally a crown being present. In particular, the basic packaging body is curved at the top and straight at the top on the front and the back. In addition, it would be conceivable that auxiliary grooves are provided that support the formation of the crown. The auxiliary grooves are preferably made on the front and / or the rear. The auxiliary grooves preferably do not extend over the entire length of the basic packaging body. They optimally support the formation of a crown when they form part of the surface in the cambered part. The auxiliary grooves can be straight or curved or a combination of straight and curved; they are preferably formed on the respective surface symmetrically to the central longitudinal axis of the respective surface. An underside of the basic packaging body has in particular a curvature towards the top. The underside of the basic packaging body is preferably slotted from the front to the rear, with in particular one side being folded up and the other down. The slitting brings stability, but also an opening. In principle, it would also be conceivable that several slots are implemented. Through the Slitting in particular simplifies erection. Furthermore, grooves from left to right are provided on the underside in particular. Grooves from the front to the back are also possible, which together with the slots or without slots also simplify the erection. By means of the underside, in particular, the basic packaging body is erected during filling. The upper side of the basic packaging body has, in particular, a straight, flat surface which forms an end to the rectangular cross section.

A corresponding brush product packaging device in a flat, unformed state has in particular a length of 120 mm to 300 mm, preferably 160 mm to 280 mm. Furthermore, in the flat, unformed state, the brush product packaging device has, in particular, a width of 120 mm to 200 mm, preferably 150 mm to 180 mm. In a molded state, the brush product packaging device with a euro-hole flap on which the euro-hole recess is made, in particular a length of 100 mm to 260 mm, preferably from 140 mm to 240 mm, and without a euro-hole flap in particular a length of 75 mm to 235 mm, preferably from 115 mm to 215 mm. Furthermore, the brush product packaging device in the shaped state has in particular a width of 25 mm to 90 mm, preferably from 35 mm to 75 mm, a width of the brush product packaging device in a grip area being adapted in particular to an interface of a tray packaging. A height of the brush product packaging apparatus in a molded state is particularly from 8 mm to 35 mm, preferably from 12 mm to 25 mm. This preferably represents a multiplier, in particular a multiplier of 9.13 mm, of a corrugated spacing of a tray packaging. In the event of a deviation from the multiplier, in particular air or spacing can be created or a flowering can be achieved. The grammage of such a brush product packaging device is in particular from 200 g / m ² to 500 g / m ² , preferably from 250 g / m ² to 450 g / m ² ; it is preferably made of solid cardboard.

A corresponding brush product packaging device can serve in particular as a single pack and also as a two-pack or three-pack. In the case of a configuration as a two-pack or three-pack, in particular several brush products can be received in the receiving area. Here is the Brush product packaging device, depending on the embodiment, can in particular only be opened once and no longer closed again. The brush products can in particular be arranged next to one another in the recess. In the case of several brush products, in particular no separate fixing elements are provided. Fixing elements are particularly impractical due to the opening technique. If there are several brush products, the dimensions of the brush product packaging device in particular change depending on the arrangement and number of brush products in the recess. In particular, however, only the width of the brush product packaging device changes.

In addition to the brush product, other other products can be introduced into the packaging, in the broadest sense in the manner of a multiple pack. These are, for example, another interchangeable head of an interchangeable toothbrush, a mini toothpaste tube, replacement battery (s), flossers, interdental brushes, several interchangeable brush heads. Instructions for use or other documentation for the product can also be included. These can be fixed with a holding unit, for example.

A euro-hole recess is preferably provided on the upper side of the basic packaging body. The euro hole recess is made in particular in an upwardly protruding tab. The flap has in particular a double cardboard guide. In this way, in particular, a high level of stability can be achieved and tearing when hanging, for example due to the weight of a product or due to careless, rough manipulation by a customer, can be avoided. It is conceivable that the cardboard layers are glued, sealed or the like connected to one another and / or that the flap and / or at least one cardboard layer is inserted as a separate element. It can be inserted from an upper edge or from a side edge. The flap is preferably designed to be folded from the basic packaging body. In particular, this makes it possible to dispense with adhesive tabs that could affect sticking. In the case of a double carton guide, a front carton layer in particular has a smaller euro-hole recess in order to visually obtain an overlap from the front and to be able to compensate for manufacturing tolerances. The rear part, which is not visible, can also have a different shape than the euro-hole recess, for example a Ellipse or some other geometry surrounding the euro-hole recess. The euro-hole recesses preferably have, in particular, a size difference of 0.5 mm. The euro-hole recess is preferably closed to ensure stability and, in particular, not open at the side. In addition, there is in particular the possibility that the flap with the euro-hole recess can be turned back so that the flap rests against the rest of the pack and less air or volume has to be transported. In the case of a basic packaging body with the card element and the hood element, the euro-hole recess can in particular be provided in two layers in the card element and an upper sealing edge of the hood element. In principle, the euro hole recess can also be omitted if the basic packaging body is not hung in order to save material and volume and thus transport costs. Instead of a double box guide, a box with a higher grammage can also be used as an alternative. The higher grammage automatically makes it more stable.

The euro-hole recess can in principle already be incorporated in the semi-finished product so that no more work steps are necessary in the process for forming the euro-hole recess. But it is also possible that the euro hole recess is created only after the various parts of the cardboard packaging have been connected.

It is further proposed that the at least one basic packaging body has at least one perforation strip running transversely to the main direction of extent for opening the basic packaging body. The perforation strip is preferably designed as a tear-open perforation. The perforation strip is formed in particular by two perforations running parallel to one another. The perforations of the perforation strip in particular have a cutting length of 1.5 mm to 7 mm, preferably 2.5 mm to 5.5 mm, and a holding length of 1 mm to 4 mm, preferably 1.5 mm to 3 mm . The perforation should in particular be stable so that it does not tear in the event of blows during transport. Alternatively or additionally, a herringbone shape is conceivable, which provides better performance when tearing open. The perforation strip extends in particular circumferentially around a longitudinal axis of the packaging base body. In principle, the perforation strip can be used both in a grip area and in a head area of the Be arranged packaging base body. The perforation strip is preferably arranged in a central area, that is to say in particular not in an edge area. It would also be conceivable that the perforation strip is arranged at an angle to the longitudinal axis. Alternatively or additionally, it would also be conceivable that the perforation strip is arranged on an upper side and / or extends over a corner, as part of the one surface and as part of the other surface, such as from the upper side to the front side. Particularly preferably, the perforation strip has a tear-open tab at at least one position, which creates a possibility of starting the tear-open. In principle, it would also be conceivable that, for example, the euro-hole tab serves as a pull tab. The perforation strip is continued in the area of the tear tab, especially in its contour, without a seal. In the case of a basic packaging body with the card element and the hood element, the perforation strip can in particular be arranged on an upper side and / or a lower side of the hood element, so that the smallest possible opening is created when it is opened. Alternatively, the perforation strip can extend laterally on the left, right or on the rear side over the whole or only part of the hood length of the hood element. If the perforation strip extends over the entire length of the hood, printing on the inside of the hood element can be read and printing is therefore conceivable. Alternatively or additionally, it would also be conceivable for the perforation strip to extend over a corner of the hood element, as part of the one surface and as part of the other surface. Alternatively or additionally, it would also be conceivable for the perforation strip to be arranged on the sealing edge, the sealing edge being torn open on one side. As a result, the brush product packaging device can in particular be advantageously opened. In particular, tool-free opening of the brush product packaging device can be made possible.

In this context, it would be conceivable that the brush product packaging device further at least partially forms a head quiver. In particular, it would be conceivable for the cardboard box of the brush product packaging device to be separable in such a way that a head quiver is formed. In particular, the carton in this part of the brush product packaging apparatus may be specially coated to improve durability. In combination with the perforation strip, the Brush product packaging device can further be used in whole or in part as a travel quiver in which the brush can be transported protected as a whole.

It is further proposed that the brush product packaging device has at least one reclosing unit, which is provided for reclosing the basic packaging body. The at least one reclosure unit is preferably designed at least partially in one piece with the basic packaging body. The reclosure unit preferably has a reclosable tab which can be pushed into a tab receptacle. The reclosing flap is particularly preferably provided to at least partially latch with the flap receptacle. The reclosable flap or the flap receptacle is preferably arranged on a folding flap of the basic packaging body. The reclosure unit can be used, for example, with a rectangular packaging base body. A cuboid packaging base body could in particular advantageously be designed to be easy to manufacture. For example, it would be conceivable that a longitudinal edge is already pre-glued and can therefore be pre-fabricated. In particular, the basic packaging body only needs to be (unfolded) folded prior to filling. As a result, the brush product packaging device can in particular also be used as transport packaging for the brush product after the brush product has been unpacked for the first time. In particular, the brush product packaging device can be used as travel packaging, in particular as a travel quiver, for the brush product. Furthermore, the brush product packaging device can be designed as a returnable pack. In particular, it would be conceivable that a used product could be packaged for recycling purposes and sent to the manufacturer or a collection point, for example. In this way, in particular, advantageously sustainable packaging can be created.

One embodiment of the brush product packaging device could therefore in particular be a rectangular cardboard box with a euro-hole flap. A corresponding brush product packaging device in particular has straight side surfaces at a right angle, with a euro-hole tab in particular being provided in an upper area. A width, height and length are therefore in particular constant. Preferably has a corresponding Brush product packaging device in particular has a length with euro-hole flap of 100 mm to 260 mm, preferably 140 mm to 240 mm. Without the euro-hole flap the length is in particular from 75 mm to 235 mm, preferably from 115 mm to 215 mm. A width of the brush product packaging device is particularly from 25 mm to 90 mm, preferably from 35 mm to 75 mm. An overall height of the brush product packaging device is in particular from 8 mm to 35 mm, preferably from 12 mm to 25 mm. The grammage of such a brush product packaging device is in particular from 200 g / m ² to 500 g / m ² , preferably from 250 g / m ² to 450 g / m ² ; it is preferably made of solid cardboard.

A corresponding brush product packaging device can serve in particular as a single pack and also as a two-pack or three-pack. In the case of a configuration as a two-pack or three-pack, in particular several brush products can be received in the receiving area. The brush product packaging device can be designed so that it can be opened and closed once or several times, depending on the configuration. The brush product packaging device is designed in particular to be resealable. The brush products can in particular be arranged next to one another in the recess. In the case of several brush products, either no separate fixing elements are provided or the fixing elements are designed such that the brush product can be pulled out upwards. If there are several brush products, the dimensions of the brush product packaging device in particular change depending on the arrangement and number of brush products in the recess. In particular, however, only the width of the brush product packaging device changes.

In addition to the brush product, other other products can be introduced into the packaging in the broadest sense in the manner of a multiple pack. These are, for example, another interchangeable head of an interchangeable toothbrush, a mini toothpaste tube, replacement battery (s), flossers, interdental brushes, several interchangeable brush heads. Instructions for use or other documentation for the product can also be included. These can be fixed with a holding unit, for example.

A corresponding brush product packaging device can in particular also be used for other purposes in addition to receiving toothbrushes. The The brush packaging device is particularly useful as a dental floss packaging. To this end, a dimensioning can in particular be adapted. Furthermore, a knife for cutting the dental floss can be integrated directly into the brush packaging device. Furthermore, the brush packaging device can also be used as an interdental brush packaging. To this end, a dimensioning can in particular be adapted. Furthermore, an insert part, in particular a fixing element, can be provided for the orderly holding of the interdental brushes. The insert part can in particular be in the shape of a rake, with an interdental brush being clamped between each prong. The insert preferably has in particular recesses or empty spaces so that the interdental brushes can be removed.

Furthermore, the brush product packaging device has special hygiene requirements. In particular, the brush product packaging device must be closed, which can be achieved, for example, by gluing or gluing with adhesive tape. In particular, there should be no open games. In particular, the brush product packaging device does not have complete tightness, since the brush product packaging device cannot be completely tightly closed. In particular, the brush product packaging device has tiny openings due to perforations and non-glued or minimally glued points. An improved tightness can be achieved in particular by additional tabs and / or gluing. The packaging base body preferably has dust flaps, in particular regardless of its configuration. The dust flaps are in particular an element on an upper edge, for example on an edge of the hood element, in order to prevent or reduce the ingress of dust. The dust flaps are in particular unfixed or fixed, such as in particular by gluing, sealing or the like, folded and applied. In principle, dust flaps can be provided on the packaging body wherever tiny openings are provided in the packaging body. Dust flaps are preferably not separate elements, but are formed integrally with other components of the packaging base body already described. In the case of an automated sealing process, a long dust flap can be provided on the top over the entire width, which is designed to overlap completely, in particular for better counter pressure during the gluing process. Under a "dust flap" in this Context, in particular, a component of a folding box are understood, which is provided to prevent the penetration of dust and other foreign bodies into the interior of the box. In addition, dust flaps ensure, in particular by applying counter pressure, that a lid flap does not break into the folding box. They serve as a counter pressure, so to speak.

Means are also provided to enable color recognition and presentation of the brush product in the brush product packaging device. In particular, a corresponding printing of the brush product packaging device is conceivable, for example by inline printing. In particular, larger areas can be specifically printed, with the brush product being inserted, in particular in a color-defined manner, before printing, and / or a camera recognizing a color of the brush product. Alternatively, there is also the possibility of specifically printing smaller areas, in particular a color selection being printed on the brush product packaging device and a cross of the color selection being set inline at the correct location. Alternatively or additionally, a viewing window can be provided, with cardboard packaging no longer being provided if necessary. To achieve pure cardboard packaging, in particular only one hole or one recess can be provided. The hole can in particular be at least partially closed by the brush product. For example, a surface of the grip area can cover the hole in order to make the color of the brush product visible. As an alternative or in addition, a head quiver can also be provided or attached to the brush product, which protects the brush head, the head quiver closing the hole. In this way, the bristle field, the type of bristle and the bristle color in particular would be visible and could signal a color of the product. In this case, the quiver in particular would have to be adapted so that any air holes do not lie in the open area, ie in the area of the hole. However, it is also conceivable that the hole simply remains open. Alternatively or additionally, the hole can also be closed by an attached film. The hole can be closed before or after the brush product is introduced into the basic packaging body. The material used here is plastic with a high proportion of recycled material, in particular 100% plastic film made from recycled material and / or from renewable raw materials, biodegradable such as cellulose, cellulose or the like. and / or transparent paper conceivable. Transparent paper can translucent or transparent. In particular, cellulose-based plastics such as cellulose hydrate, PLA or PET-A, in particular 100% recycled, are conceivable as plastics. The film can be fastened by means of sealing or gluing, in particular on the inside of the basic packaging body or on the outside. The film can in particular form part of the outer contour, for example as an overhang label (ie certain areas of the film outside the hole lift off the packaging body or are not supported by it) or as a reinforcement for the contour of the euro hole recess or as a euro hole recess in the label. The film can in particular be glued together with a label or as a label, for example on the basic packaging body, such as in particular on the hood element or the card element. The film can be neutral or be or will be printed. Here, the film is applied in particular from the outside when the packaging has already been manufactured, in particular sealed. The label or the film is preferably provided outside the sealing area. When the film is printed, features of the product can be highlighted with corresponding graphic designs, for example by means of arrows or words. This can happen on all transparent windows, not just the label. The film can also essentially envelop the entire packaging body. It would also be conceivable for the film to be unsecured and, for example, only to be inserted into the basic packaging body. The film can in particular be inserted and clamped between different cardboard parts in the basic packaging body. In this way, simple separability for recycling and disposal could be achieved. The film can be straight or shaped, for example as a U-profile or 3D shape. A 3D shape could for example be produced by deep drawing and represent an integrated element for holding the brush product. It is also conceivable that, for example, the hood element is designed such that a back is designed like an overhang label, that is, the back is also designed from a part of the side surface. The film closes the back and the exposed side surfaces, several "holes" being closed with a film. As a further option, the viewing window can simultaneously form an opening for a travel box, which can be opened and closed several times. Furthermore, a 3D viewing window would also be conceivable. This could be realized by means of a head quiver that protrudes through the hole. The viewing window can also extend over a corner. A specific card showing the color would also be conceivable for color recognition. For example, it would be conceivable that the brush product in the Packaging machine is recognized inline, the color being determined, a specific blister card selected or specific printing, in particular inline, being triggered.

The brush product packaging device preferably has a barcode. The barcode is preferably in an area in which no perforation and no sealing edge with a shoulder is provided. The barcode is printed in particular on a printed background. In particular, a white background is provided for a black code. The barcode is in particular according to the GS1 standard. In particular, a clear background with sufficient contrast is provided in this area. If there is enough contrast between the background and the printing, no primer is necessary. Furthermore, in particular a manufacturing code must be applied, such as a lot code and / or batch code. In an embodiment of the brush product packaging device with a hood element, the manufacturing code can be provided in particular on the underside of the hood element. The orientation of the hood is preferably irrelevant and the production code does not interfere and is not seen from the front during a presentation. In the case of an embodiment of the brush product packaging device with a lens-shaped cross section, the manufacturing code can preferably be applied to the rear side. The manufacturing code can in particular be applied both in the grip area and in the head area. In the case of the cuboid brush product packaging device, the application of the manufacturing code is, in particular, generally variable. The manufacturing code can advantageously be attached to an underside of the brush product packaging device.

In particular, various configurations of a corresponding brush product packaging device are conceivable. In particular, packaging made of 100% cardboard and / or 100% sustainable materials (e.g. combination of 100% cardboard and 100% recycling materials or combination of 100% cardboard and 100% bio-based materials) is preferably possible by means of the brush product packaging device. The disadvantage with 100% cardboard is, in particular, that the product is generally not visible, the product being able to be visualized in particular by printing on the brush product packaging device. Alternatively, as already stated, a viewing window can be provided in the box. Furthermore can in particular, the brush product packaging device can be provided as primary packaging, which can be kept particularly well in secondary packaging, in particular in tray packaging. For this purpose, the brush product packaging device has, in particular, the guide sections via which the brush product packaging device can be stretched into a shaft of a tray packaging. Furthermore, in particular an advantageously stable brush product packaging device can be provided. Due to the shaping of the hood element with seals and also seals with the card element, due to the dust flaps at the top and the slit below, or due to the gluing and / or fixing, a very stable packaging is created. In particular, the brush product packaging device can be less prone to pressure, so that the brush product is well protected. Furthermore, in particular, good printability can be provided. In particular, printing on all sides is possible. For example, the card element and the hood element can be printed on both sides and thus also on the inside. In particular, large areas are provided for the printing, in particular more than, for example, in the case of a classic blister pack. An essential difference is in particular that the packaging base body, in particular for example the hood element, can be printed on the inside and outside. The packaging base body can tear-open perforations, which allow the packaging base body to be essentially unfolded into a flat blank after the brush product has been removed, thereby allowing additional space for further inscriptions, such as the description of the product or for the instructions for use. Furthermore, a variable product arrangement (orientation of the bristle field) of the bristle product can be achieved. In particular, a bristle field can be aligned longitudinally or transversely.

The aim of the brush product packaging device is, in particular, to provide a packaging that is as ecological as possible, which in particular fits into a tray packaging described below. Furthermore, as a market goal, the brush product packaging device in the store should fit onto the existing hook systems and, in particular, should require the same space as a conventional brush product packaging device.

The invention is also based on a method for producing the brush product packaging device. Different methods are conceivable in particular depending on a configuration of the brush product packaging device.

In the brush product packaging device with the card element and the hood element, a blank of the card element and the hood element is preferably produced in a first method step. Furthermore, the hood element in particular is shaped from a blank. In particular, a tub is formed from the flat blank. Lateral elements of the blank are bent. The flat part of the blank can optionally also be deformed by means of heat and / or pressure and / or supply of moisture, as already described. The tub formed in this way can optionally be glued and / or sealed or temporarily held in shape without a fixed connection. In addition, it would be conceivable that an insert, such as in particular a folding element of the holding unit, is introduced. Furthermore, the shaped tub is filled in particular with the brush product. Then, in particular, the card element is placed on the filled tub. The card element is sealed in particular with the sealing edges of the hood element, in particular by means of heat sealing. The requirements for the sealing wax are particularly suitability for food contact. Furthermore, the sealing wax is applied to the hood element as well as to the card element. In particular, it is theoretically conceivable that the sealing wax is also only applied to one side. Furthermore, a sealable type of cardboard in particular must be selected. Not all types of cardboard are sealable, such as grass cardboard, which does not seal due to its porosity, since the sealing wax is absorbed and is therefore not available on the surface. In order to enable the use of grass cardboard it would be conceivable to treat the grass cardboard so that a sealing wax does not penetrate into the material. The requirements for the sealing edges of the hood element are in particular that they should lie in one plane. It would also be conceivable for the sealing edges to lie in different planes, although this is more complex in terms of production technology, since several sealing plates are required. It would also be conceivable that the sealing edges that are sealed onto the card can be concealed by an optical design. Alternatively, it would also be conceivable that the sealing edges of the hood element extend as far as an edge of the card element in order to reduce the visibility of the sealing edges. This results in especially a tolerance issue, since the geometries must match. However, there is also the advantage that there is no edge on the surface and therefore no shoulders arise between the card element and the sealing edges. In addition, it would be conceivable that the packaging base body is punched after sealing so that the outer contour is flush. The sealing edges extend around the entire raised contour of the hood element. However, it would also be conceivable that the sealing edges are partially interrupted and / or cut in order to create circumferential contours. The width of the sealing edges is in particular from 3 mm to 7 mm, preferably 3.5 mm to 5.5 mm. The width of the sealing edges is particularly dependent on the shape of the edge or the entire sealing surface and the product weight. Furthermore, the sealing edges depend on the substrate, ie cardboard and sealing wax. In principle, it would also be conceivable that the hood element and the card element are connected by means of welding, in particular by means of ultrasonic welding, and / or by means of gluing.

In the case of the brush product packaging device with the at least partially lens-shaped cross section, a ready-glued casing is purchased that only needs to be erected, filled and closed. The production takes place from a flat blank and is folded and glued. Handling, that is to say, for example, erecting, filling and closing the brush product packaging device, can take place both manually and automatically. The already glued casing of the brush product packaging device in particular already has grooves in the side surface, whereby the blanks can thereby be delivered in particular flat. The grooves in the side surfaces of the basic packaging body form the edge on the left and right in the flat state. Preferably only one side of the prefabricated shell is open. In a first process step, in particular the casing is erected. The envelope is then filled from the open side and then the side that is still open is closed. It is closed by gluing the open upper flaps or by inserting these flaps.

In the case of the cuboid-shaped brush product packaging device, a pre-glued cover is purchased which can be filled manually or automatically. The gluing is preferably already carried out along the longitudinal edge of the envelope. The tabs at the top and bottom of the brush product packaging device can in particular be both plugged in and glued. In a first process step, in particular the Sheath erected and the lower end closed. The envelope is then filled and sealed at the top. Closing is done manually by snapping in or plugging in or by gluing the tabs. Depending on the process, the orientation of the brush product packaging device can be different, which means that a closing sequence can also differ. In particular, it would be conceivable, for example, that it is first closed at the top and filled from below. Closing can also take place in parallel, ie at the top and bottom at the same time, instead of serial closing. The closing can therefore also optionally take place only when the bristle product has already been introduced.

Due to the fact that packagings formed in this way are somewhat inferior to other packagings in terms of dust-tightness, it is possible that the product is packaged several times in the primary packaging. For example, the product could be shrink-wrapped in cellophane packaging. The product in the cellophane packaging would then be placed in the cardboard packaging described. In order to be sustainable, the film used for the cellophane packaging could be made from a sustainable plastic, as described above.

In order to create an even higher quality primary packaging, two packagings can also be arranged one inside the other so that the packaging lying directly on the product is also protected. In this way, hood packaging, for example, which is placed in a cuboid cardboard packaging, could be provided, with the higher quality hood packaging being better protected.

Furthermore, the invention is based on a system with the brush product packaging device and with a brush product, in particular a toothbrush, accommodated in the brush product packaging device.

Furthermore, the invention is based on a tray packaging for receiving at least two, in particular a plurality of, brush product packaging devices, with at least one outer packaging base body and with at least one packaging insert arranged in the outer packaging base body for positioning the Brush product packaging devices. It is proposed that the at least one packaging insert consists at least to a large extent of a paper material. The tray packaging is formed in particular by secondary packaging. The tray packaging has in particular an integrated element for product presentation in order to present products in a uniform manner. In particular, the packaging insert is used for the uniform accommodation and presentation of brush product packaging devices. Furthermore, important issues with tray packaging are in particular stackability, i.e. that the tray packaging can be stacked well for transport, the ecology, i.e. in particular the use of as little cardboard as possible, and shelf readiness, i.e. that the tray packaging must be able to serve as packaging at the point of sale and no rearranging is necessary, only the tray packaging has to be opened. In particular, the tray packaging is provided to accommodate the brush product packaging devices by insertion. A part of the packaging geometry of the brush product packaging devices is used in particular for holding. In particular, various brush product packaging devices can be accommodated in the tray packaging. Preferably, the brush product packaging devices will in particular be inserted into the packaging insert. The packaging insert is used in particular to receive and guide the brush product packaging devices in a defined manner in the tray packaging. In particular, the packaging insert also serves to fix the brush product packaging devices after a part of the brush product packaging devices has already been removed from the tray packaging. The packaging insert can be provided both for receiving a defined size of brush product packaging devices and for individual receiving.

The inventive design of the tray packaging makes it possible, in particular, to provide packaging that is advantageously simple and inexpensive to manufacture. In particular, tray packaging that can advantageously be produced and printed in a flexible manner can be provided. Furthermore, an advantageously high level of ecology for the tray packaging can be achieved. A high level of ecology can be achieved in particular through the use of recycled paper material. Furthermore, a tray packaging made of renewable materials can be provided.

In one embodiment of the tray packaging, the packaging insert can be designed, for example, as a grid grid. The brush product packaging devices can, for example, be individually inserted into the packaging insert designed as a grid. The packaging insert can in particular have longitudinal walls and transverse walls. The main body of the outer packaging forms, in particular, an outer box. The grid of the packaging insert can in particular be adapted to a size, in particular a width and height, of the brush product packaging devices to be received. In particular, an inclined product presentation through inclined transverse walls of the packaging insert would also be conceivable, the brush product packaging devices in particular being held inclined by the packaging insert. In principle, a combination of different packaging inserts would also be conceivable, so that straight and inclined brush product packaging devices can be accommodated in the same tray packaging. For example, brush product packaging devices can be received obliquely at the front and straight at the rear. The tray packaging in particular has x rows next to one another, in particular at least two, and x rows one behind the other. The tray packaging is provided in particular to hold 10 to 100 pieces, preferably 15 to 50 pieces, of the brush product packaging devices. The tray packaging is provided in particular to accommodate 5 to 12 pieces of the brush product packaging devices in length. Furthermore, the tray packaging is provided in particular to accommodate 2 to 10 pieces of the brush product packaging devices in width. The width of the recess in the grid of the packaging insert is in particular from 15 mm to 75 mm, preferably from 20 mm to 50 mm, the empty space corresponding to the width of the packaging plus tolerance. The length of the recess in the grid of the packaging insert is in particular from 12 mm to 40 mm, preferably from 15 mm to 30 mm. The grids of the packaging insert extend in particular over the entire inner dimensions of the packaging so that it is clamped at the front and back as well as left and right or at least cannot slip. In principle, it would also be conceivable that the grids of the packaging insert do not extend to the edge at the front and rear and / or left and right, with the brush product packaging devices received centering the packaging insert. This has the disadvantage that when brush product packaging devices are removed, the brush product packaging devices are no longer equally stable. Furthermore would be It is also conceivable that several brush product packaging devices are arranged in a grid of the packaging insert, such as in particular next to one another and / or one behind the other. A corresponding tray packaging could in particular be produced by erecting the outer packaging body, inserting the packaging insert into the outer packaging body and filling the tray packaging.

In an alternative embodiment of the tray packaging, it would also be conceivable that a packaging insert can be dispensed with, the brush product packaging devices being received loosely, in particular stacked in a controlled manner, in the tray packaging. Perforation can turn the tray packaging into a tray. For this purpose, the brush product packaging devices are especially stacked in an orderly manner in order to make optimal use of a space. However, a chaotic reception of the brush product packaging devices would also be conceivable. The tray packaging can in particular be formed by a pre-glued box that is delivered in such a way that it only has to be erected. The tray packaging is in particular formed by a glued blank which only needs to be connected at the top and bottom when closing, in particular by gluing, for example by means of an adhesive strip. The tray packaging is provided in particular to hold 10 to 100 pieces, preferably 15 to 50 pieces, of the brush product packaging devices. The tray packaging is provided in particular to accommodate 5 to 12 pieces of the brush product packaging devices in length. Furthermore, the tray packaging is provided in particular to accommodate 2 to 10 pieces of the brush product packaging devices in width. A length of the tray packaging is in particular from 100 mm to 500 mm, preferably from 200 mm to 350 mm. A width of the tray packaging is in particular from 150 mm to 450 mm, preferably from 200 mm to 300 mm. A height corresponds in particular to the height of the brush product packaging devices received. A corresponding tray packaging could in particular be produced by erecting the tray packaging, filling the tray packaging and closing and closing the tray packaging.

It is further proposed that the at least one packaging insert is folded at least essentially in a U-shape. In a folded state, the packaging insert is in particular U-shaped. The packaging insert preferably has at least one flat base side and two side parts which are arranged on opposite sides of the base side and which in particular extend perpendicular to the base side. The side parts and the base are preferably folded in one piece from one piece, in particular from a sheet of cardboard. The side parts are provided in particular for receiving and guiding guide sections of the brush product packaging devices. In particular, one guide section of a brush product packaging device is guided in one side part. In an inserted state, the packaging insert is preferably at least partially held in a U-shape by the outer packaging base body. In principle, it would also be conceivable for several packaging inserts to be arranged next to one another in an outer packaging base body, the packaging inserts at least partially holding one another in a U-shape. As a result, a packaging insert that is advantageously simply produced can be provided in particular. Furthermore, in particular, advantageously reliable guidance of brush product packaging devices in the packaging insert can be achieved. In particular, a height of the packaging insert, in particular the side parts, can advantageously be adapted to a brush product packaging device and thus advantageously stable guidance can be provided.

It is further proposed that the at least one packaging insert is made from corrugated cardboard. All cardboard elements of the tray packaging are preferably made from corrugated cardboard. However, it would also be conceivable that the basic outer packaging body is made from solid cardboard, for example. The outer packaging base body preferably consists at least partially of single-walled corrugated cardboard, in particular of recycled material. The basic outer packaging body preferably consists at least partially of gray cardboard, in particular of recycling material. The packaging insert is particularly preferably made from one-sided corrugated cardboard, that is to say from corrugated cardboard in particular, consisting of an outer cover and a corrugated layer. In principle, however, single-wall corrugated cardboard, double-wall corrugated cardboard or one would also be used three-wall corrugated cardboard possible. The corrugations of a corrugated layer of the corrugated cardboard are provided in particular to each form a guide groove for the guide section of the brush product packaging devices. Each wave trough of the wave layer preferably forms a guide groove. The corrugated crests of the corrugated layer of the corrugated cardboard extend, in particular in a packaging state, in particular parallel to a main plane of extent of the brush product packaging devices. The corrugated cardboard is preferably made of recycled material. The corrugation spacing of the packaging insert, that is to say in particular from wave trough to wave trough or from wave crest to wave crest, is in particular from 5 mm to 14 mm, preferably from 7.5 mm to 11 mm. In particular, the shaft spacing is exactly 9.13 mm. The height of the individual corrugation of the packaging insert is in particular from 2 mm to 10 mm, preferably from 3.5 mm to 8 mm, in particular always the same height is provided per pack and in particular also for all tray packs. In particular, the brush product packaging devices can be inserted into the packaging insert in various ways. In particular, any plug spacing is possible. In the case of advantageously narrow brush product packaging devices, such as in particular for interdental brushes, it is particularly possible for a brush product packaging device to be inserted into each wave trough. In the case of large brush product packaging devices, such as in particular for electric toothbrushes, a distance between adjacent brush product packaging devices of x-waves is also conceivable. The aim is in particular that the brush product packaging devices are plugged in regularly, so that they always have the same spacing. However, it is also conceivable that the brush product packaging devices are inserted irregularly, that is to say have different spacings, in order, for example, to compensate for excess dimensions in the head area and thus a bunch of flowers. For example, it would be conceivable that after a first brush product packaging device one shaft remains empty, after a further brush product packaging device two shafts remain empty, then one shaft remains empty again, etc .; Furthermore, it is also possible, for example, that after a first brush product packaging device two shafts remain empty and after another brush product packaging device three shafts remain empty, then two shafts remain empty, etc. A plug spacing can therefore in particular be dependent on the product height and the shaft spacing . The aim is in particular that the The brush product packaging device is as straight as possible, the brush product is not squashed and there is still a volume-optimized storage. “Corrugated cardboard” is to be understood as meaning, in particular, a paper material, in particular cardboard, composed of one or more layers of corrugated paper that is glued to one layer or between several layers of another paper or cardboard. Corrugated cardboard is preferably produced by gluing at least one smooth paper and one corrugated paper together. This simplest version is called a one-sided corrugated cardboard with an open flute. If a smooth, a corrugated and again a smooth paper is glued together, one speaks in particular of a single-wall corrugated cardboard. For example, up to seven layers can be glued on top of one another and the result is a three-wall corrugated cardboard. Corrugated cardboard can preferably differ in the number of corrugations, the corrugation size and the material thickness. In this context, "solid cardboard" is to be understood as meaning, in particular, a solid material consisting essentially of fibers of vegetable origin, single-ply and couched, also glued, glued, impregnated or coated as machine cardboard or wrapping cardboard, the areal mass of which is above that for cardboard lies. The weight per unit area of solid board ranges in particular from about 500 to 3000 g / m ² . The name solid board describes the density and the homogeneous structure of this packaging material. Solid cardboard is usually made from several layers, whereby up to 100 percent of the mass can consist of recycled fiber mass, i.e. recycled waste paper. A “main extension plane” of a unit is to be understood in particular as a plane which is parallel to a largest side surface of a smallest imaginary cuboid, which just completely surrounds the unit, and in particular runs through the center of the cuboid. As a result, a packaging insert that is advantageously simply produced can be provided in particular. Furthermore, in particular, advantageously reliable guidance of brush product packaging devices in the packaging insert can be achieved. Furthermore, in particular, an already prefabricated material can be used. In particular, further processing costs can be kept low. Furthermore, an advantageously lightweight packaging insert can be provided in particular. Furthermore, an advantageously high level of ecology for the tray packaging can be achieved. In particular, the use of recycled paper material can achieve a high level of ecology can be achieved. Furthermore, a particularly universal applicability of the tray packaging can be achieved with a high standard.

It is further proposed that the at least one outer packaging base body has at least one shoe element for receiving the at least one packaging insert and at least one hood element for closing the shoe element. The shoe element is in particular formed by a cuboid that is open on one side. In particular, it would be conceivable that individual walls of the shoe element are raised. The one front wall of the shoe element is preferably not drawn up. In particular, the front wall is completely or partially excluded in order to achieve a better product presentation. In particular, the left, right and rear walls can be raised. If part of the walls are pulled up all the way up, products can be supported up to the top edge. It would also be conceivable that the walls rise towards the rear, so that the rear wall is high and the height of the side walls increases towards the rear. In principle, the walls can also be designed with a height profile. Furthermore, the walls can be designed with recesses. The shoe element can in particular at least partially form a sales display. For this purpose, the shoe element can in particular be printed in order to optimize a presentation at the point of sale. The hood element is in particular formed by a folded hood. In particular, the hood element is merely inserted and / or put on. The hood element is preferably provided, in particular on a rear side or a front side, to move into the shoe element. If the shoe element has a rear wall, it would in particular be conceivable that the hood element has the reverse shape of the shoe element, the hood element, in particular on the front side, having a wall, in particular a high wall. The wall is used in particular for support. The hood element is in particular cuboid and is intended to be slipped over the products or the brush product packaging devices and the shoe element. The hood element is preferably fastened by means of adhesive or adhesive tape, aids in particular being provided for detaching the hood element from the shoe element. Various options for removing the hood element are conceivable. For example, a perforation can be provided in the hood member for removing the lid and exposing the brush product packaging devices. The perforation can be reinforced with a tape, for example, in order to avoid tearing off a perforation strip. The perforation can also extend in particular around the longitudinal axis of the packaging and / or at an angle, in particular if the side walls of the shoe element are inclined. Furthermore, it would also be conceivable that the adhesive points can be torn off and / or separated from the hood element. It would also be conceivable that no connection is provided between the hood element and the shoe element and the hood element can simply be lifted off. In principle, it would also be conceivable that the hood element and the shoe element are designed in one piece during manufacture and filling. In particular, it would be conceivable that the hood element and the shoe element are designed as a cardboard box that is filled and / or a filled packaging insert is introduced. It would be particularly conceivable that the hood element and the shoe element can be separated by a perforation. In this way, in particular, advantageous tray packaging can be provided. In particular, a tray packaging can be provided which can advantageously be used for transporting and for presenting brush product packaging devices or brush products.

In particular, the at least one packaging insert is only designed to be inserted into the shoe element. A number of packaging inserts in an outer packaging base body can in particular be different. In particular, it would be both conceivable that only one row of brush product packaging devices is provided for receiving and accordingly only one packaging insert is provided, and that several rows of packaging inserts are provided for several rows of brush product packaging devices, such as two or three rows. In particular, multiple rows are not limited. In particular, rows of one packaging insert each with a multiplicity of brush product packaging devices received therein can be arranged both next to one another and one above the other. In particular, a further packaging insert can also be arranged on a number of brush product packaging devices. For reasons of stability, it would also be conceivable that, for example, always two packaging inserts are arranged together in a holder and / or that individual packaging inserts are connected, in particular glued. Furthermore would also be It is conceivable that in order to hold the interface shape, in particular for stabilization, a packaging insert is suspended in a further packaging insert and these thus support one another. Furthermore, it would be conceivable that the outer packaging base body is only formed by a ring or band that supports the packaging insert. It would also be conceivable that separate, additional shoes are provided for bundling.

A shoe element can hold in particular from 4 to 20, preferably from 5 to 12, one behind the other in length, brush product packaging devices, which are in particular received in a packaging insert. Furthermore, from 1 to 9, preferably from 1 to 4, packaging inserts filled with brush product packaging devices can again be accommodated in the shoe element. Particularly in the case of low brush product packaging devices, such as in particular for dental floss, flossers or the like, between 1 and 3 rows of brush product packaging devices can be arranged one above the other in a packaging insert. The packaging insert in particular has a length of 100 mm to 350 mm, preferably 115 mm to 250 mm. A width of the packaging insert is in particular from 20 mm to 120 mm, preferably from 30 mm to 100 mm. In particular, the width is directly dependent on the width of the brush product packaging devices, the brush product packaging devices in turn being adapted to standards. In particular, standard widths for brush product packaging devices are 42 mm, 70 mm and 92 mm. The cutting width of the packaging insert is therefore particularly dependent on the intended receiving width and the desired guide height. The height of the packaging insert in a folded state is in particular from 15 mm to 80 mm, preferably from 25 mm to 60 mm. The main body of the outer packaging is in particular from 100 mm to 400 mm, preferably from 120 mm to 350 mm, in length. Furthermore, the basic outer packaging body has a width of in particular from 30 mm to 300 mm, preferably from 35 mm to 250 mm. Furthermore, the main body of the outer packaging has, in particular, a height of 80 mm to 400 mm, preferably 120 mm to 350 mm.

During the production of the tray packaging, the packaging insert is produced in a first step. For this purpose, corrugated cardboard is / are unrolled and then Longitudinal grooves made in the corrugated cardboard. The grooves later form in particular the edges of the packaging insert. Then the corrugated cardboard is cut to the right length. In particular, the corrugated cardboard is delivered on rolls in the correct width. The corrugated cardboard is then shaped and held with a stamp so that the packaging insert is created. The packaging insert is then placed in a shuttle, in which the packaging insert is kept in shape and filled manually or with a robot. In a second step, the main body of the outer packaging is formed. The filled packaging insert is then placed in the shoe element of the outer packaging base body. The packaging insert is held in shape by the shoe element, the packaging insert lying directly on the shoe element. The packaging insert is held and clamped in particular only by means of frictional engagement. However, fastening means for securing the packaging insert are also conceivable. The main body of the outer packaging is then closed. In particular, there are different variants of the basic outer packaging body. In particular, if the shoe element and the hood element are designed separately, the packaging insert is inserted into the shoe element without the hood element. In particular, the packaging insert can also only be fitted in the shoe element. The hood element is only then shaped and placed on the filled shoe element. The hood element is then connected to the shoe element, in particular by means of gluing.

In this context, the terms “axial” and “radial” relate in particular to a main axis of extension of the electric brush handle, so that the term “axial” in particular denotes a direction that runs parallel or coaxially to one of the main axes of extension. Furthermore, the term “radial” in the following denotes in particular a direction which runs perpendicular to one of the main axes of extension. A "main axis of extent" of an object is to be understood in particular as an axis which runs parallel to a longest edge of a smallest geometric cuboid, which just completely surrounds the object, and in particular intersects a geometric center point of the object.

Furthermore, the terms “top side” or “front side” of the toothbrush are to be understood in this context in particular as that side of the toothbrush on which the thumb is placed. The top or front side is usually also that side to which the bristle field, in particular the brush head of the brush head, is directed. The “underside” or “backside” of the toothbrush is to be understood as meaning in particular that side which faces away from the bristle field of the brush head. Furthermore, the terms “left side” and “right side” are each related to viewing the front side.

Description of the exemplary embodiments

The Figures 1 to 5 show a brush product packaging device 10a for receiving a brush product 12a. The brush product 12a has an application head 14a and a handle 16a. The application head 14a comprises a bristle field. Furthermore, the brush product 12a has a neck 30a which connects the handle 16a to the application head 14a. The brush product 12a is formed by a toothbrush, in particular a manual toothbrush. The brush product packaging device 10a is provided, for example, to receive a toothbrush. The brush product packaging device 10a forms a primary packaging for the brush product 12a. The brush product packaging device 10a is designed as a sales package. The brush product packaging device 10a has a receiving area 20a for receiving the brush product 12a. The receiving area 20a is approximately cuboid. The receiving area 20a is designed to be essentially closed. In particular, the receiving region 20a is not designed completely tight.

The brush product packaging device 10a and the brush product 12a accommodated in the brush product packaging device 10a form a system, in particular a sales system.

The brush product packaging device 10a has a packaging base body 18a. The packaging base body 18a forms a base body of the brush product packaging device 10a. The packaging base body 18a is provided to form the essentially closed receiving area 20a for the brush product 12a. The packaging base body 18a materially delimits the receiving area 20a. Furthermore, the packaging base body 18a consists largely of a paper material. The packaging base body 18a consists of solid cardboard.

The packaging base body 18a has a flat card element 34a and a folded hood element 36a applied to the card element 34a. The card element 34a and the hood element 36a consist largely of a paper material. The card element 34a and the hood element 36a are made of solid cardboard. The card element 34a and the hood element 36a are the same Material thickness. The hood element 36a is fixedly connected to the card element 34a in an assembled state. Furthermore, an extension of the hood element 36a along a main extension direction 40a of the brush product packaging device 10a essentially corresponds to an extension of the card element 34a along the main extension direction 40a of the brush product packaging device 10a. The card member 34a is disposed on a front side of the brush product packaging apparatus 10a. The card element 34a is essentially rectangular. The card element 34a has a length of 50 mm to 300 mm, preferably 100 mm to 260 mm. Furthermore, the card element 34a has a width of 20 mm to 150 mm, preferably 35 mm to 135 mm. The grammage of the card element 34a is from 200 g / m ² to 500 g / m ² , preferably from 250 g / m ² to 450 g / m ² . The hood member 36a is arranged on a rear side of the brush product packaging device 10a. The hood element 36a has boundary surfaces 66a delimiting the receiving area 20a as well as sealing edges 64a connected to the boundary surfaces 66a, which are provided for a connection to the card element 34a. The sealing edges 64a are connected to the boundary surfaces 66a of the hood element 36a via perforations and grooves. The hood element 36a is made from a blank ( Fig. 2 ). The cut of the hood element 36a has a plurality of boundary surfaces 66a, including a rectangular base side and four trapezoidal side parts. A sealing edge 64a is arranged on each of the side parts, the sealing edge 64a encompassing the entire tab 70a in the region of the tab 70a. Furthermore, a dust flap 68a is arranged on each of the two long trapezoidal side parts on both free edges. In a flat state, the hood element 36a has a length of 70 mm to 320 mm, preferably 110 mm to 280 mm. Furthermore, the hood element 36a has a width of 40 mm to 150 mm, preferably 50 mm to 120 mm, in a flat state. In a molded state of the hood element 36a, the internal dimensions of the trough forming the receiving area 20a on a side facing the card element 34a are 50 mm to 250 mm, preferably 100 mm to 200 mm, and 15 mm to 60 mm wide, preferably from 20 mm to 40 mm. The hood element 36a has a conicity from a side facing the card element 34a towards a base, the conicity being identical on opposite sides, in particular on all four sides. An angle of the conicity is from 2 ° to 20 °, preferably from 2 ° to 10 °. Further the height of the hood member 36a in a molded state is from 10 mm to 25 mm, preferably from 14 mm to 20 mm. The total height of the basic packaging body 18a is from 8 mm to 35 mm, preferably from 12 mm to 25 mm. The front and the rear of the packaging base body 18a are essentially parallel.

The packaging base body 18a has the dust flaps 68a. The hood element 36a has the dust tabs 68a. The dust flaps 68a are provided to prevent or reduce the ingress of dust. The dust flaps 68a are fixed, such as in particular by sealing, folded and applied in order to form the hood element 36a, but they can also be arranged unfixed or not fixed and merely bear against it. During manufacture, the dust flaps 68a are sealed in particular with the short side parts of the boundary surfaces 66a of the hood element 36a.

The packaging base body 18a also has a euro-hole recess at an upper end. The euro hole recess is made in an upwardly protruding tab 70a. The flap 70a has a double cardboard guide. The flap 70a for the euro-hole recess has two layers, one layer of the flap 70a being formed by the card element 34a and one layer of the flap 70a being formed by the hood element 36a. The hood element 36a and the card element 34a are sealed in the region of the tab 70a. The tab 70a is formed partially in one piece with the hood element 36a and partially in one piece with the card element 34a. A front cardboard layer of the card element 34a of the flap 70a has a smaller euro-hole recess 72a than the rear cardboard layer of the hood element 36a of the flap 70a in order to visually obtain an overlap from the front and to be able to compensate for folding tolerances. A larger euro-hole recess 74a is provided in the rear cardboard layer of the hood element 36a of the flap 70a. The euro hole recesses 72a, 74a have a size difference of 0.5 mm. The euro hole recess is closed to ensure stability and not open at the side. In principle, the euro hole recess can also be omitted if the packaging base body 18a is not hung in order to save material and volume.

The packaging base body 18a also has a guide section 42a, 42a 'with a reduced depth on two opposite edges 38a, 38a', which extend parallel to the main direction of extent 40b of the brush product packaging device 10a. The guide sections 42a, 42a 'each have a reduced depth compared to the total depth. The packaging base body 18a has straight, parallel outer edges in the guide sections 42a, 42a '. The basic packaging body 18a is designed in the guide sections 42a, 42a 'in each case at least partially in multiple layers. The card element 34a and the hood element 36a are arranged in the guide sections 42a, 42a 'so as to overlap. The card element 34a is sealed in the guide sections 42a, 42a 'via the sealing edges 64a to the hood element 36a, the sealing edges 64a and the card element 34a being sealed flat in the guide sections 42a, 42a'. The guide sections 42a, 42a 'each form an insertion plane of the brush product packaging device 10a. The guide sections 42a, 42a 'serve to accommodate the brush product packaging device 10a in a tray packaging 54a. The brush product packaging device 10a is inserted into guides of the tray packaging 54a for sale. A maximum thickness of the basic packaging body 18a in the guide sections 42a, 42a 'is in each case from 0.2 mm to 2.5 mm, preferably from 0.3 mm to 1 mm.

The brush product packaging device 10a further has a holding unit 22a. The holding unit 22a protrudes into the receiving area 20a and is provided to hold the brush product 12a in position relative to the receiving area 20a. The holding unit 22a is provided to hold the brush product 12a on the handle 16a and / or the neck 30a in position relative to the receiving area 20a or to reduce a movement of the brush product 12a. The holding unit 22a is provided to reduce a movement play of the brush product 12a. The holding unit 22a consists largely of a paper material.

In one embodiment, the holding unit 22a can be partially formed in one piece with the packaging base body 18a. The holding unit 22a is, for example, partially formed in one piece with the packaging base body 18a. The holding unit 22a has a holding means 24a which extends from an indentation in the Packaging base body 18a is formed. The holding means 24a is introduced directly into the packaging base body 18a and is formed in one piece with the packaging base body 18a. The holding means 24a is introduced into the hood element 36a. The holding means 24a is only shown in FIG Figure 4b shown, since the indentation is introduced in particular subsequently, after packaging, and is therefore only visible in a completely manufactured state. In principle, however, it would also be conceivable that the holding means 24a are already being folded when the hood element 36a is folded, as in FIG Figure 3a or 3b shown, is introduced. The holding means 24a is formed by a waist in the hood element 36a of the packaging base body 18a. The brush product 12a is pressed into a correct position by means of the holding means 24a. The brush product 12a is pressed against an inside of the packaging base body 18a by means of the holding means 24a. In principle, it would also be conceivable that several, in particular two or three, corresponding holding means 24a are provided. The holding means 24a is produced by two corresponding grooves in the packaging base body 18a ( Figure 4b ).

In an alternative embodiment, the holding unit 22a also has a folding element 26a. The folding element 26a is made of solid cardboard. The folding element 26a is formed by a separate component different from the packaging base body 18a. The folding element 26a is made from a flat blank in which the folding options are already integrated in the form of grooves. The folding element 26a is formed by an insert for the packaging base body 18a. The folding element 26a has three areas, namely a first fastening area 76a, in which the folding element 26a is connected to the packaging base body 18a, a fixing area 78a, in which the folding element 26a is provided to fix the brush product 12a, and a second fastening area 80a, in which the folding element 26a is connected to the packaging base body 18a. The fixing region 78a is arranged between the first fastening region 76a and the second fastening region 80a. The fixing region 78a of the folding element 26a forms an elevation. The fixing area 78a forms a gable roof-shaped elevation. Depending on the folding angle of the folding element 26a, different heights of the folding element 26a can be realized. The position for fixing the brush product 12a is variable. In particular, the position is dependent on a geometry of the receiving area 20a and a geometry of the Brush product 12a. The brush product 12a is fixed, for example, in a neck region 30a of the brush product 12a ( Figures 5a, 5b, 5c , 5d, 5e ).

The folding element 26a is glued into the packaging base body 18a. The folding element 26a is glued flat to the packaging base body 18a in the two fastening areas 76a, 80a. The folding element 26a is glued to an inside of the packaging base body 18a on a base side of the hood element 36a. Furthermore, in a state arranged in the packaging base body 18a, the folding element 26a preferably has an approximately circular base area. The folding element 26a is mounted and folded in a state arranged in the packaging base body 18a. The folding element 26a, in particular a blank of the folding element 26a, has an egg-shaped outer shape in a flat state, the outer shape being designed in such a way that it results in a circular base area in a folded state. A circular base area has the advantage that the folding element 26a can be arranged in one position in any orientation. Furthermore, the at least one folding element 26a has a maximum extension of 10 mm to 50 mm in a state arranged in the packaging base body 18a. An unfolded blank of the folding element 26a has a length of 20 mm to 50 mm, preferably 30 mm to 40 mm. Furthermore, the unfolded blank of the folding element 26a has a width of 10 mm to 30 mm, preferably 15 mm to 25 mm. In a folded, assembled state, the folding element 26a has a circular base area, the diameter of the base area being from 10 mm to 30 mm, preferably from 15 mm to 25 mm. A height of the folding element 26a in a folded, assembled state is from 8 mm to 16 mm, preferably from 9 mm to 13 mm.

The folding element 26a forms a groove 28a for receiving a neck 30a of the brush product 12a. The folding element 26a forms a groove-shaped recess. The groove 28a is made in two surfaces of the folding element 26a. The groove 28a is made in two surfaces of the fixing region 78a of the folding element. To implement the groove 28a, two surfaces of the folding element 26a each have a recess, the recesses being connected to one another on at least one side. The recesses are approximately rectangular. The recesses taper conically from a free end, which provides better clamping. The recesses are trapezoidal. The resulting groove 28a has a width of 3 mm to 10 mm, preferably 3 mm to 6 mm, in a lower region. Furthermore, the groove 28a has a width of 4 mm to 15 mm, preferably of 5 mm to 10 mm, at a free, open end. The depth of the groove 28a, measured on the surface of the folding element 26a, is in particular from 3 mm to 12 mm, preferably from 5 mm to 10 mm.

Furthermore, the folding element 26a has an optional fixing section 32a which is provided to clamp the neck 30a of the brush product 12a against the packaging base body 18a. The fixing section 32a is formed from a side contour of the fixing area 78a of the folding element 26a. The fixing section 32a, together with a side wall of the hood element 36a of the packaging base body 18a, forms a constriction in the receiving area 20a, in which the brush product 12a can be fixed. The fixing section 32a serves in particular for an alternative fixing of the brush product 12a, for example if the neck 30a of the brush product 12a is positioned unfavorably or the groove 28a is too narrow for the corresponding neck 30a. The folding element 26a can therefore be used in particular for various brush products 12a ( Figures 5a, 5b, 5c , 5d, 5e ).

During the production of the brush product packaging device 10a, a blank of the card element 34a and the hood element 36a is produced in a first method step. The hood element 36a is then formed. A trough is formed from the flat blank of the hood element 36a. The shaped tub can optionally be glued and / or sealed. In addition, the folding element 26a of the holding unit 22a is introduced into the hood element 36a. The shaped tub is then filled with the brush product 12a and fixed in or with the folding element 26a. The card element 34a is then placed on the filled trough of the hood element 36a. The card element 34a is sealed to the sealing edges 64a of the hood element 36a by means of heat sealing.

In the Figures 12a to 12e a tray packaging 54a is shown. The tray packaging 54a is provided for receiving at least two, in particular a plurality of, brush product packaging devices 10a. The tray packaging 54a is provided, for example, to receive the brush product packaging device 10a, it also being possible for other brush product packaging devices to be received by the tray packaging 54a. The tray packaging 54a is from formed a secondary packaging, which is provided for a transport, as well as for a presentation of a plurality of brush product packaging devices 10a.

The tray packaging 54a has an outer packaging base body 56a and a packaging insert 58a arranged in the outer packaging base body 56a for positioning the brush product packaging devices 10a. The outer packaging base body 56a has a shoe element 60a for receiving the packaging insert 58a and a hood element 62a for closing the shoe element 60a. The shoe element 60a is formed by a cuboid that is open on one side. The shoe element 60a is designed as an open box. The shoe element 60a consists of a paper material. The shoe element 60a is made of corrugated cardboard. The front wall of the shoe element 60a is partially cut out in order to achieve better product presentation. Furthermore, the left, right and rear walls of the shoe element 60a are designed to be raised. The rear wall is high, while a height of the side walls of the shoe element 60a increases towards the rear. The walls have a height profile. The hood element 62a is in particular formed by a folded hood. The hood element 62a is formed by a cuboid open on one side. The hood element 62a is designed as an open box. The hood element 62a consists of a paper material. The hood element 62a is made of corrugated cardboard. The hood element 62a and the shoe element 60a are formed in one piece during manufacture and filling. The hood element 62a and the shoe element 60a are designed as a cardboard box that is filled and / or introduced into a filled packaging insert 58a. The hood element 62a and the shoe element 60a can in particular be subsequently separated by a perforation 82a ( Figures 12c, 12d , 12e ).

Furthermore, the packaging insert 58a consists largely of a paper material. The packaging insert 58a is made from corrugated cardboard. The packaging insert 58a is made from one-sided corrugated cardboard, that is to say from a corrugated cardboard, consisting of an outer cover and a corrugated layer. The corrugations of a corrugated layer of the corrugated cardboard of the packaging insert 58a are provided to each form a guide groove for the guide sections 42a, 42a 'of the brush product packaging devices 10a. Each corrugation valley of the corrugation layer of the packaging insert 58a forms a guide groove. The packaging insert 58a is therefore arranged so that the Corrugated layer faces the brush product packaging devices 10a. The corrugated crests of the corrugated layer of the corrugated cardboard of the packaging insert 58a also extend in a packaging state parallel to a main plane of extension of the brush product packaging devices 10a. The corrugation spacing of the packaging insert 58a, that is from corrugation trough to corrugation trough or from corrugation crest to crest, is from 5 mm to 14 mm, preferably from 7.5 mm to 11 mm. The shaft spacing of the packaging insert 58a is exactly 9.13 mm. The height of the individual corrugation of the packaging insert 58a is from 2 mm to 10 mm, preferably from 3.5 mm to 8 mm, whereby in particular the same height is always provided per pack and in particular also for all tray packs 54a ( Figures 12a, 12b ).

The packaging insert 58a is used to uniformly receive and present the brush product packaging devices 10a. For this purpose, the brush product packaging devices 10a are inserted into the packaging insert 58a. The packaging insert 58a serves to receive and guide the brush product packaging devices 10a in a defined manner in the tray packaging 54a. The packaging insert 58a is folded in a U-shape. The packaging insert 58a is U-shaped in a folded state. Furthermore, the packaging insert 58a has a flat base side 84a and two side parts 86a, 86a 'which are arranged on opposite sides of the base side 84a and extend perpendicular to the base side 84a. The side parts 86a, 86a 'and the base side 84a are folded in one piece from one piece, in particular from a sheet of cardboard. The side parts 86a, 86a 'are provided for receiving and guiding the guide sections 42a, 42a' of the brush product packaging devices 10a. One guide section 42a, 42a 'of a brush product packaging device 10a is guided in one side part 86a, 86a' each ( Figures 12c, 12d ).

In an inserted state, the packaging insert 58a is held in the U-shape by the outer packaging base body 56a. The packaging insert 58a is only designed to be inserted into the shoe element 60a. A number of packaging inserts 58a in an outer packaging base body 56a can, however, in particular be different ( Figure 12c ).

During the production of the tray packaging 54a, the packaging insert 58a is produced in a first step. To do this, corrugated cardboard is unrolled and then Longitudinal grooves made in the corrugated cardboard. The grooves later form in particular the edges of the packaging insert 58a. Then the corrugated cardboard is cut to the right length. In particular, the corrugated cardboard is delivered on rolls in the correct width. The corrugated cardboard is then shaped and held with a punch, so that the packaging insert 58a is produced. The packaging insert 58a is then placed in a shuttle in which the packaging insert 58a is held in shape and is filled manually or with a robot. In a second step, the outer packaging base body 56a is formed. The filled packaging insert 58a is then placed in the shoe element 60a of the outer packaging base body 56a. The packaging insert 58a is held in shape by the shoe element 60a, the packaging insert 58a lying directly on the shoe element 60a. In particular, the packaging insert 58a is only held and clamped by means of frictional engagement. However, fastening means for securing the packaging insert 58a are also conceivable. Then the outer packaging base body 56a is closed. In particular, there are different variants of the outer packaging base body 56a. In particular, if the shoe element 60a and the hood element 62a are configured separately, the packaging insert 58a is inserted into the shoe element 60a without the hood element 62a. In particular, the packaging insert 58a can also only be fitted in the shoe element 60a. The hood element 62a is only then shaped and placed on the filled shoe element 60a. The hood element 62a is then connected to the shoe element 60a, in particular by means of gluing.

In the Figures 6 to 11 , 13 and 14th two further embodiments of the invention are shown. The following descriptions are essentially limited to the differences between the exemplary embodiments, with the same components, features and functions being restricted to the description of the other exemplary embodiments, in particular the Figures 1 to 5 and 12 , can be referenced. To distinguish the exemplary embodiments, the letter a in the reference numerals of the exemplary embodiment is Figures 1 to 5 and 12 by the letters b and c in the reference numerals of the exemplary embodiments of Figures 6 to 11 , 13 and 14th replaced. With regard to components with the same designation, in particular with regard to components with the same reference numbers, the drawings and / or the description can in principle also be referred to the other embodiments, in particular the Figures 1 to 5 and 12 , to get expelled.

The Figures 6 to 9 show an alternative brush product packaging device 10b for receiving a brush product. The brush product packaging device 10b has a packaging base body 18b. The packaging base body 18b is provided to form the essentially closed receiving area 20b for the brush product. The packaging base body 18b is formed from a blank. The brush product packaging device 10b consists of the packaging base body 18b. The packaging base body 18b is formed by a folded and glued box. The packaging base body 18b has a handle area 44b that receives the handle of the brush product and a head area 46b that receives the application head of the brush product ( Figure 6 ).

The packaging base body 18b also has a guide section 42b, 42b 'with a reduced depth on two opposite edges 38b, 38b', which extend parallel to a main direction of extent 40b of the brush product packaging device 10b. The guide sections 42b, 42b 'each have a reduced depth compared to the total depth. The packaging base body 18b has straight, parallel outer edges in the guide sections 42b, 42b '. The basic packaging body 18b is designed in the guide sections 42b, 42b 'to some extent in several layers. For this purpose, the basic packaging body 18b is each folded in a comb-like manner in the guide sections 42b, 42b '. The guide sections 42b, 42b 'are arranged exclusively in a grip area 44b of the packaging base body 18b.

The receiving area 20b of the brush product packaging device 10b has a cross section perpendicular to the main direction of extent 40b in the grip area 44b which is substantially different from a cross section of the receiving area 20b in the head area 46b. The receiving region 20b has a lens-shaped cross section in the grip region 44b perpendicular to the main direction of extent 40b. Furthermore, the receiving area 20b in the head area 46b has a rectangular cross section perpendicular to the main direction of extent 40b. A cross section of the receiving area 20b perpendicular to the main direction of extent 40b goes along the main direction of extent 40b from the head area 46b to the grip area 44b almost continuously, from a rectangular cross-section to a lenticular cross-section. For this purpose, the packaging base body 18b has at least two converging edges 48b, 48b ', 48b ", 48b'" which each extend essentially parallel to a main direction of extent 40b. The packaging base body 18b has two converging edges 48b, 48b ', 48b ", 48b'" on opposite sides, each of which extends essentially parallel to a main direction of extension 40b. The converging edges 48b, 48b ', 48b ", 48b'" each extend over a substantial part of a main extension of the packaging base body 18b, the converging edges 48b, 48b ', 48b ", 48b'" ending in the grip area 44b. The four converging edges 48b, 48b ', 48b ", 48b'" each form one of the four side edges of the rectangular cross section of the packaging base body 18b in the head region 46b. The edges 48b, 48b ', 48b ", 48b'" of the packaging base body 18a each converge towards the guide section 42b, 42b '. The edges 48b, 48b ', 48b ", 48b'" are tailored to the front and back. Between each of the two converging edges 48b, 48b ', 48b ", 48b'", a further folding edge is arranged, each of which extends essentially parallel to a main direction of extension 40b. The further folding edges each form the edges 38b, 38b 'of the guide sections 42b, 42b'.

The packaging base body 18b has a decreasing height profile from the front to the rear from top to bottom, with a wedge shape and additionally a crown being present. The basic packaging body 18b is curved at the top and straight on the front and the back. An underside of the packaging base body 18b has a curvature towards the top. Furthermore, the underside of the packaging base body 18b is slotted from the front to the rear, with one side being folded up and the other being folded down. A slot 88b brings stability. Erecting is also simplified by the slit 88b. Furthermore, grooves from left to right and grooves from front to back are provided on the underside. The upper side of the basic packaging body 18b has a straight, flat surface which forms a termination of the rectangular cross section. Furthermore, the packaging base body 18b has a euro-hole recess at an upper end. The Euro hole recess is made in an upwardly protruding tab 70b ( Figures 7a, 7b , 7c, 7d, 7e, 7f ).

It would also be conceivable that the packaging base body 18b has a plurality of auxiliary grooves 89b, which support the formation of the crown. The auxiliary grooves 89b are made on the front and the rear. The auxiliary grooves 89b preferably do not extend over the entire length of the basic packaging body. The auxiliary grooves 89b extend from an underside of the basic packaging body 18b over part of the grip area 44b of the basic packaging body 18b. The auxiliary grooves 89b extend at least substantially parallel to the main direction of extent 40b of the brush product packaging device 10b. The auxiliary grooves 89b optimally support the formation of a crown when they form part of the surface in the crowned part. The auxiliary grooves 89b are partially straight and partially curved. However, it would also be conceivable that the auxiliary grooves 89b are all curved or shaped in a combination of straight and curved. The auxiliary grooves 89b are preferably formed on the respective surface symmetrically to the central longitudinal axis of the respective surface.

Furthermore, the packaging base body 18b has a perforation strip 50b that runs transversely to the main direction of extent 40b for opening the packaging base body 18b. The perforation strip 50b is designed as a tear-open perforation. The perforation strip 50b is formed by two perforations running parallel to one another. The perforation strip 50b extends circumferentially around a longitudinal axis of the packaging base body 18b. Furthermore, the perforation strip 50b is arranged in the grip area 44b of the packaging base body 18b. Furthermore, the perforation strip 50b has a tear-open tab 90b at one position, which creates a possibility of starting the tear-open.

The brush product packaging device 10b further has a holding unit 22b. The holding unit 22b protrudes into the receiving area 20b and is provided to hold the brush product 12b in position relative to the receiving area 20b. The holding unit 22b is provided to hold the brush product 12b on the handle 16b in position relative to the receiving area 20b or to reduce a movement of the brush product 12b. The holding unit 22b is formed in one piece with the packaging base body 18b. The holding unit 22b has a holding means 24b which is formed by the lens-shaped taper in the packaging base body 18b. The holding means 24b is directly in the packaging base body 18b introduced and formed in one piece with the packaging base body 18b. The holding means 24b is realized by shaping the packaging base body 18b. A fixation of a handle of the brush product in the handle area 44b can be achieved by the lens shape. The brush product is clamped in the grip area 44b without liner. The packaging base body 18b forms part of the holding unit 22b in the lens-shaped cross section.

Furthermore, the holding unit 22b has two further holding means 25b, 25b 'which are formed from existing parts of the brush product packaging device 10b. The further holding means 25b, 25b 'are formed, for example, from dust flaps 68b of the packaging base body 18b. The dust flaps 68b are used to support the brush product 12b in the brush product packaging device 10b. The dust flaps 68b can therefore be used for purposes other than those intended. This means that the dust flaps 68b are no longer used as dust flaps 68b but as holding means 25b, 25b 'by being folded into the receiving area 20b of the basic packaging body 18b. The holding means 25b, 25b 'fix the brush product 12b on a neck. In the embodiment, the dust tabs 68b are designed as holding means 25b, 25b 'of the holding unit 22b and are provided to hold the brush product 12b on a neck partially in position relative to the receiving area 20b ( Figures 8a, 8b ).

The brush product packaging device 10b has a length of 120 mm to 300 mm, preferably 160 mm to 280 mm, in a flat, unshaped state. Further, the brush product packaging device 10b in the flat, unmolded state has a width of 120 mm to 200 mm, preferably 150 mm to 180 mm. In a molded state, the brush product packaging device 10b with the tab has a length of 100 mm to 260 mm, preferably 140 mm to 240 mm. Furthermore, the brush product packaging device 10b in the shaped state has a width of 25 mm to 90 mm, preferably from 35 mm to 75 mm, a width of the brush product packaging device 10b in a grip area 44b being adapted to an interface of a tray packaging. A height of the brush product packaging device 10b in a molded state is from 8 mm to 35 mm, preferably from 12 mm to 25 mm.

During the manufacture and filling of the brush product packaging device 10b, a ready-glued casing is purchased which only has to be erected, filled and closed. The brush product packaging device 10b can be handled both manually and automatically. The completely glued casing of the brush product packaging device 10b already has grooves in the side surface and the adhesive, it being possible for the blanks to be delivered flat in particular. The grooves in the side surfaces of the basic packaging body 18b form the edge 38b, 38b 'on the left and right in the flat state. In a first step, the casing is erected. The envelope is then filled and sealed. It is closed by gluing the tabs on top or by plugging them in.
