Description

Die Erfindung richtet sich auf einen Deckel, insbesondere für eine Lebensmittelverpackung, wie z. B. einen Joghurtbecher oder dergleichen, oder ein Etikett, insbesondere ein Flaschenhalsetikett, umfassend eine geprägte Aluminiumfolie, geprägte Aluminiumverbundfolie, Kunststoff-Folie, Kunststoff-Verbundfolie, Papierfolie oder Papierverbundfolie.The invention is directed to a lid, in particular for a food packaging, such. As a yogurt cup or the like, or a label, in particular a bottle neck label, comprising an embossed aluminum foil, embossed aluminum composite film, plastic film, plastic composite film, paper foil or paper composite film.

Bekannte derartige geprägte Folien weisen den Vorteil auf, dass die einzelnen Folienabschnitte bzw. Deckel dann, wenn sie ausgehend von einem Stapel bearbeitet werden, leicht vereinzelbar sind, das heißt der jeweils obenliegende Deckel kann zuverlässig vom Stapel abgenommen werden.Known embossed films of this type have the advantage that the individual film sections or covers, if they are processed starting from a stack, are easily separable, that is to say the top cover in each case can be reliably removed from the stack.

Ein Nachteil solcher geprägter Folien liegt weiterhin darin, dass die Prägung das Druckbild eines auf der Deckeloberseite vorgesehenen Aufdrucks beeinträchtigt und insbesondere kleine, filigrane Schriften oder Darstellungen nur eingeschränkt wahrgenommen werden können. Darüber hinaus ist das Reflexionsverhalten solcher bekannter geprägter Folien eingeschränkt, da die Reflexion diffus und ungerichtet ist.A disadvantage of such embossed films continues to be that the embossing impairs the printed image of an imprint provided on the top of the cover and, in particular, small, filigree fonts or representations can only be perceived to a limited extent. In addition, the reflection behavior of such known embossed films is limited because the reflection is diffuse and non-directional.

Die EP 1 340 694 A2 beschreibt einen im Wesentlichen ungeprägten Deckel, auf dessen Innenseite zur Erleichterung der Vereinzelung Abstandshaltenoppen aufgedruckt sind.The EP 1 340 694 A2 describes a substantially unembossed lid, on the inside of which spacer spacing naps are printed on to facilitate the separation.

Aus der EP 0 883 489 B1 ist es bekannt, eine oberflächenrauhe Beschichtung vorzusehen, welche wenigstens teilweise siegelfähig ist. Ein Nachteil dieses Produkts besteht darin, dass zusätzlicher Lack für Oberflächenelemente aufgetragen werden muss.From the EP 0 883 489 B1 It is known to provide a surface roughened coating which is at least partially sealable. A disadvantage of this product is that additional surface finish paint must be applied.

In der DE 2 246 226 wird ein Deckel für eine Lebensmittelverpackung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 beschrieben. Dieser Deckel besteht aus einem Folienmaterial, das zur mechanischen Versteifung eine Prägung in Form einer in der Längsrichtung unterbrochenen Maserung aufweist. Aufgrund der beabsichtigten Versteifungswirkung sind Breite, Tiefe und Höhe dieser Prägung relativ stark ausgebildet.In the DE 2 246 226 a lid for a food package according to the preamble of claim 1 is described. This cover consists of a film material, which has an embossing in the form of a broken in the longitudinal direction grain for mechanical stiffening. Due to the intended stiffening effect the width, depth and height of this embossing are relatively strong.

Hiervon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Deckel, oder ein Etikett, insbesondere ein Flaschenhalsetikett, mit einer ansprechenden Oberfläche zu schaffen, welche eine Bedruckung auch mit kleinen Schriften sowie Darstellungen ermöglicht und ein vorteilhaftes Reflexionsverhalten aufweist. Moiree-Effekte sollen vermieden werden. Weiterhin soll eine wirksame Vereinzelung ermöglicht werden.Proceeding from this, the present invention seeks to provide a lid, or a label, in particular a bottle neck label, with an attractive surface, which allows printing with small fonts and representations and has an advantageous reflection behavior. Moiree effects should be avoided. Furthermore, an effective separation is to be made possible.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass die Tiefe der Prägelinien 0 bis 40 µm, vorzugsweise ca. 30 µm, und die Breite der Prägelinien 100 bis 300 µm, vorzugsweise ca. 200 µm, beträgt.This object is achieved in that the depth of the embossing lines 0 to 40 microns, preferably about 30 microns, and the width of the embossing lines 100 to 300 microns, preferably about 200 microns.

Unter Breite wird hier die Abmessung verstanden, die sich in der durch den Deckel aufgespannten Ebene erstreckt. Durch diese Ausgestaltung wird verhindert, dass sich die Deckel im Stapel ineinander verhaken. Es wird also eine gute Vereinzelbarkeit erreicht. Außerdem wird ein sehr gleichmäßiges Oberflächenbild erhalten, die Schriften sind gut lesbar, die Oberfläche weist keine sichtbaren Knitter wie z. B. eine glatte Folie auf und das Reflexionsverhalten ist fast so gut wie dasjenige einer Folie mit glatter Oberfläche.Width here is understood to mean the dimension which extends in the plane defined by the cover. This design prevents the lid from getting caught in the stack. So it is achieved a good separability. In addition, a very uniform surface image is obtained, the fonts are easy to read, the surface has no visible creases such. B. a smooth film and that Reflection behavior is almost as good as that of a film with a smooth surface.

Zusammenfassend lässt sich die Erfindung im Vergleich zum Stand der Technik wie folgt darstellen:

  • Bekannte geprägte Platinen, z. B. mit einer Würmchenprägung, weisen den Nachteil einer schlechten Lesbarkeit von Zeichen auf, besitzen eine unruhige Optik, z. B. bei fotografischen Darstellungen, und die EAN-Codes sind nicht gut lesbar.
In summary, the invention can be compared to the prior art as follows:
  • Known embossed boards, z. B. with a Würmchenprägung, have the disadvantage of poor readability of characters, have a restless look, z. As in photographic representations, and the EAN codes are not easy to read.

Vorbekannte glatte Platinen sind zwar gut lesbar, machen aber einen zusätzlichen Lackauftrag zur Erzielung der erforderlichen Oberflächenrauhigkeit in Form von Abstandshaltern erforderlich, wodurch zusätzliche Kosten bedingt sind. Darüber hinaus hält das optische Erscheinungsbild strengen Anforderungen nicht Stand, indem solche Platinen weniger stabil sind und nach dem Siegeln auf den Bechern leichte Wellen werfen oder Dellen zeigen, die man bei geprägten Platinen nicht sieht.Although prior art smooth boards are well legible, but require an additional paint job to achieve the required surface roughness in the form of spacers, thereby incurring additional costs. In addition, the visual appearance does not stand up to strict requirements, as such boards are less stable and after casting on the cups light waves or show dents, which is not seen on embossed boards.

Erfindungsgemäß wird demgegenüber eine gute Lesbarkeit auch feiner Schriften oder EAN-Codes erreicht, ein Matt-/Glanz-Effekt bei gleichzeitig guter Lesbarkeit wie bei einer glatten Platine ermöglicht und eine bessere Darstellung von Druckbildern erzielt, wobei der Matt-/Glanz-Effekt durch die Prägung beeinflussbar ist.On the other hand, according to the invention, good readability is also achieved for fine scripts or EAN codes, a matt / gloss effect at the same time good readability as a smooth board allows and better representation of printed images achieved, the matte / gloss effect by the Embossment can be influenced.

Die Unterbrechungen können relativ zueinander unter Ausbildung eines Bildes, jedoch an unterschiedlichen Stellen des Deckels angeordnet sein. Dabei ist vorgesehen, dass die Unterbrechungen unregelmäßig angeordnet sind. Durch diese Ausgestaltung wird verhindert, dass die Prägelinien benachbarter Deckel in einem Stapel ineinander greifen können und sich somit die Deckel ineinander verhaken.The interruptions may be arranged relative to each other to form an image, but at different locations of the lid. It is provided that the interruptions are arranged irregularly. This embodiment prevents the embossing lines of adjacent lids from being able to engage in one another in a stack and thus the lids catching one another.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung weist jede Prägelinie eine konstante Breite auf. Die Prägung ist hier besonders gleichmäßig.According to an advantageous embodiment, each stamping line has a constant width. The embossing is particularly even here.

Mindestens eine Prägelinie kann aber auch zwei oder mehrere unterschiedliche Breiten und/oder Prägetiefen aufweisen.However, at least one embossing line may also have two or more different widths and / or embossing depths.

Vorzugsweise sind die Prägelinien bezüglich ihrer Breite uneinheitlich ausgebildet. Durch diese Unregelmäßigkeit wird wieder besonders gut verhindert, dass sich Deckel in einem Stapel ineinander verhaken können.Preferably, the stamping lines are formed with respect to their width inconsistent. This irregularity again prevents particularly well that lids in a stack can get caught in each other.

Diese Unregelmäßigkeiten können ganz unterschiedlich ausgebildet sein. Beispielsweise können die Prägelinien seitliche Ausbuchtungen haben ggf. zusätzlich zu Unterbrechungen oder Tiefenänderungen. Außerdem besteht die Möglichkeit, dass die zwischen den Prägelinien verbleibenden Erhöhungen in sich ungleichmäßig ausgebildet sind, z. B. Abflachungen oder dergleichen aufweisen.These irregularities can be designed very differently. For example, the embossed lines may have lateral bulges, in addition to interruptions or depth changes, if necessary. There is also the possibility that the remaining between the embossing lines increases in themselves are formed unevenly, z. B. flattening or the like.

Bei der vorzugsweise eingesetzten Prägung handelt es sich um eine Riefenprägung, bei der z. B. gleichmäßige Vertiefungen in bestimmten Abständen eingebracht werden. Das Erscheinungsbild matt bzw. glänzend wird durch eine zusätzliche mechanische Bearbeitung erzielt, bei der die Linien mit einem Werkzeug so behandelt werden, dass eine Umformung eintritt. Die umgeformten Partien bekommen mehr Glanz. Dadurch erhält das Design einen unverwechselbaren optischen Charakter.In the embossment preferably used is a Riefenprägung, in the z. B. uniform depressions are introduced at certain intervals. The appearance of dull or glossy is achieved by an additional mechanical processing in which the lines are treated with a tool so that a deformation occurs. The reshaped parts get more shine. This gives the design a distinctive visual character.

Die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung ermöglicht auch einen Aufdruck mit feinen Schriften auf der Deckelinnenseite, welcher aufgrund der erfindungsgemäßen Prägung ebenso gut lesbar ist wie der beschriebene Druck auf der Außenseite.The embodiment of the invention also allows a print with fine fonts on the inside of the cover, which is just as well legible due to the embossing of the invention as the pressure described on the outside.

Alternativ kann auch vorgesehen sein, dass die Prägelinien in unregelmäßigen Abständen angeordnet sind.Alternatively, it can also be provided that the stamping lines are arranged at irregular intervals.

Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung anhand bevorzugter Ausführungsformen in Verbindung mit der Zeichnung näher beschrieben, Dabei zeigen:

Fig. 2
a plan view of a yogurt cup lid according to the invention according to another embodiment, and
Fig. 3
a plan view of a yogurt cup lid according to the invention according to a further embodiment.

Der in Figur 1 dargestellte Joghurtbecherdeckel 1 ist aus einer Folie hergestellt. Sie weist eine Dicke von 38 µm auf. Der Deckel 1 ist durch Stanzen hergestellt. Auf seiner Oberseite befindet sich eine Bedruckung, während auf seiner Unterseite eine Heißsiegelbeschichtung vorgesehen ist. Auf den Deckel 1 ist eine Prägung aufgebracht, deren Tiefe 30 µm beträgt. Die Prägung ist durch Prägelinien 2 gebildet, die parallel zueinander verlaufen und konstante Abstände zueinander aufweisen. Die Prägelinien 2 weisen eine Breite von 200 µm auf. Es sind 25 Prägelinien 2 pro cm vorgesehen. Einige der Prägelinien 2 sind durch Unterbrechungen 3 unterbrochen. Durch diese prägefreien Abschnitte werden quasi vorstehende Abstandshalter geschaffen, die ein Verhaken einzelner Deckel 1 in einem Stapel sicher verhindern. Die Unterbrechungen 3 können sich auch über mehrere Prägelinien 2 erstrecken. Sie können beispielsweise kreisförmig ausgebildet sein. Der Durchmesser der Unterbrechungen 3 beträgt dann ca. 1 mm. Wie aus Figur 1 ersichtlich ist, sind die Unterbrechungen 3 unregelmäßig auf dem Deckel 1 angeordnet Die Prägung weist also eine Unregelmäßigkeit auf. Es liegt folglich kein bestimmtes Muster vor.The in FIG. 1 illustrated yogurt cup lid 1 is made of a film. It has a thickness of 38 microns. The lid 1 is made by punching. On its top is a print, while on its underside a heat-seal coating is provided. On the cover 1 an embossing is applied, whose depth is 30 microns. The embossing is formed by stamping lines 2, which run parallel to each other and have constant distances from each other. The stamping lines 2 have a width of 200 microns. There are 25 embossing lines 2 per cm. Some of the stamping lines 2 are interrupted by interruptions 3. By means of these emboss-free sections, virtually protruding spacers are created which reliably prevent a hooking of individual covers 1 in a stack. The interruptions 3 can also extend over several stamping lines 2. They can be circular, for example. The diameter of the interruptions 3 is then about 1 mm. How out FIG. 1 it can be seen, the interruptions 3 are irregular on the lid 1 arranged The embossing thus has an irregularity. There is therefore no specific pattern.

Bei der Verwendung als Flaschenhalsetikett, z. B. für eine Bierflasche, kann eine Haschur von 25 L/cm eingesetzt werden. Die Prägelinien sind zueinander parallel. Die Stegbreite beträgt 100 µm (oben) und die Kanalbreite 100 µm (unten). Der Stegabstand liegt bei 200 µm. Die Gesamtdicke mit Prägung liegt bei 60 bis 90 µm bei einer nicht erfindungsgemäßen Prägetiefe von ca. 50 µm.When used as a bottle neck label, z. B. for a beer bottle, a Haschur of 25 L / cm can be used. The stamping lines are parallel to each other. The web width is 100 μm (top) and the channel width 100 μm (bottom). The web distance is 200 μm. The total thickness with embossing is 60 to 90 microns with a not according to the invention embossing depth of about 50 microns.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform sind die Unterbrechungen unterschiedlich in der Form ausgebildet. Es liegen also bezogen auf die Form verschiedenartige Abstandshalter vor.According to another embodiment, the breaks are formed differently in shape. So there are different spacers based on the shape.

Nachfolgend wird ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung unter Bezugnahme auf Figur 2 beschrieben. Im Gegensatz zu dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Figur 1, auf dessen Beschreibung hiermit verwiesen wird, weisen die Prägelinien 2 unterschiedliche Breiten auf. Jede Prägelinien 2 ist jedoch mit konstanter, d.h. gleichbleibender Breite gebildet. Die nicht erfindungsgemäße Breite der Prägelinien 2 reicht von 0,02 mm bis 0,06 mm. Der Abstand der einzelnen Prägelinien 2 zueinander ist hier uneinheitlich. Es können aber auch identische Abstände zwischen den einzelnen Prägelinien 2 vorliegen. Die Prägung weist auch hier eine Unregelmäßigkeit auf. Diese Unregelmäßigkeit wird durch den Abstand der Prägelinien 2 zueinander und/oder durch deren unterschiedliche Breite erzielt.Hereinafter, another embodiment of the invention with reference to FIG. 2 described. In contrast to the embodiment according to FIG. 1 , whose description is hereby referred to, the embossed lines have 2 different widths. Each stamping lines 2, however, is formed with a constant, ie constant width. The non-inventive width of the embossing lines 2 ranges from 0.02 mm to 0.06 mm. The distance between the individual stamping lines 2 to each other here is uneven. However, identical distances between the individual stamping lines 2 can also be present. The embossing also shows an irregularity here. This irregularity is achieved by the distance of the stamping lines 2 from each other and / or by their different width.

Nachfolgend wird ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel unter Bezugnahme auf Figur 3 erläutert, Verglichen mit dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Figur 2, auf dessen Beschreibung verwiesen wird, ist hier nicht jede Prägelinie 2 mit konstanter Breite ausgebildet. Die Breite einer Prägelinie 2 ändert sich über ihren Verlauf. Die Breite kann dabei gleichmäßig oder sprungartig ansteigen bzw. abnehmen. An einigen Stellen können die Präglinien 2 eine identische Breite aufweisen. Es können aber auch hier Prägelinien 2 mit konstanter Breite vorgesehen sein. Wieder weist die Prägung eine Unregelmäßigkeit auf. Diese Unregelmäßigkeit wird durch den Abstand der Prägelinien 2 zueinander und/oder durch deren sich verändernde Breite erzielt.Hereinafter, another embodiment will be described with reference to FIG FIG. 3 explained, Compared with the embodiment according to FIG. 2 , whose description is referenced here is not every stamping line 2 formed with a constant width. The width of a stamping line 2 changes over its course. The width can increase or decrease evenly or suddenly. In some places, the embossed lines 2 may have an identical width. However, stamping lines 2 with a constant width can also be provided here. Again, the imprint has an irregularity. This irregularity is achieved by the distance of the stamping lines 2 from each other and / or by their changing width.

Die beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiele können auch miteinander kombiniert werden. Ein Joghurtbecherdeckel kann beispielsweise auch Prägelinien mit unterschiedlicher Breite aufweisen, die außerdem noch unterbrochen sind.The described embodiments can also be combined with each other. A yoghurt cup lid may, for example, also embossing lines with different width, which are also still interrupted.

Die Prägelinien 2 und die Unterbrechungen 3 sind in den Figuren nicht im realen Abmessungs-Verhältnis zueinander bzw. zu der Deckel-Abmessung dargestellt. Die Figuren sollen nur den Kerngedanken der Erfindung veranschaulichen.The stamping lines 2 and the interruptions 3 are not shown in the figures in the real dimensional relationship to each other or to the lid dimension. The figures are intended to illustrate only the gist of the invention.

Bei einem in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist vorgesehen, dass eine 38 µm dicke, einseitig bedruckte und auf der anderen Seite heißsiegellackierte Platine mit einer Prägung von 25 Linien pro cm ausgestellt ist, deren Prägetiefe zwischen 0 und 35 µm variiert, um auf diese Weise zu verhindern, dass die einzelnen Platinen im Stapel ineinander verhaken.In one embodiment, not shown in the drawing, it is provided that a 38 micron thick, printed on one side and on the other side heat seal lacquered board is issued with an imprint of 25 lines per cm, the embossing depth varies between 0 and 35 microns to order in this way to prevent the individual boards in the stack interlock.
