Abstract
Disclosed herein is a flexible liner for a paneled fiberboard carton. The flexible liner is adhesively attached to the inner sides of the carton's panels creating demonstrably stronger carton walls and having the same top-load compression strength as standard, conventionally constructed liners. The flexible liners disclosed herein are unique in their die-cut construction resulting in liner panels, and optionally flaps, that are separated from adjacent liner panels by a plurality of slots and flexibly attached to adjacent panels by a plurality of bridges.
Description
- This application claims the benefit of the filing date of Provisional Patent Application No. 62/351,898, filed Jun. 17, 2016.
- The flexible carton liner disclosed herein provides an improvement for the consumer packaging industry. Carton liners are commonly used to increase the structural strength of cartons. They are constructed to approximate the size and shape of the carton's panels, and perhaps its flaps, and adhered to the inner side of the carton, typically resulting in a snug fit between the liner and the carton. The snug fit between the carton and the liner generally results in a lack of flexibility in the lined carton.
- U.S. Pat. No. 3,980,005, which issued to Buonaiuto on Sep. 14, 1976, describes a shipping carton liner which consists of a unitary sheet of synthetic plastic foam composed of a plurality of panels separated by grooves or score lines of sufficient depth and of a configuration to enable the panels to be swung from coplanar to mutually perpendicular orientation. A resilient layer is then applied to the foam, at least along the score line portions thereof that is characterized by a tear strength and flexibility greater than the foam. The layer of resilient material and the score lines form a hinge for the pivotal movement of the panels.
- Notwithstanding the acknowledged flexibility of the liner panels devised and disclosed by Buonaiuto, there remains a need for a liner with flexible panels and/or flaps that can be fabricated from a variety of materials, especially and most importantly from the same material as the carton and without the addition of a “resilient material.”
- Disclosed herein is a flexible reinforcement liner for a paneled fiberboard carton said liner comprising a plurality of planar panels sized to conform with, and adhesively attach to, the inner surface of said carton panels and wherein the flexible liner is characterized by having panels separated from adjacent liner panels by a plurality of slots and flexibly attached to adjacent liner panels by a plurality of bridges.
- A preferred embodiment of the flexible liner features a liner wherein all the panels of the liner are separated from adjacent panels by a plurality of slots and flexibly jointed or attached to adjacent panels by a plurality of bridges. Another variation of the flexible liner features a liner having a plurality of flaps attached to the liner panels wherein the panels and flaps are separated from adjacent panels by a plurality of slots and attached to the adjacent panels by a plurality of bridges.
- Preferably, the bridges of the flexible liner are created by die-cutting slots and discarding the “slot.” The die-cut slots form bridges that are obliquely angled between adjacent liner panels and arrayed so that the bridges positioned above a medially drawn transverse line are mirror images of obliquely angled bridges positioned below the medially drawn transverse line. The carton and liner are typically made of fiberboard, but other materials may prove suitable and even preferable, depending on the nature and purpose of the carton and its contents.
