Description
Packaging having a weakening area The present invention relates to a packaging comprising a flexible film wrapped around a product to be packaged, the film defining a closed space containing the product, the film having a higher tensile strength over most of its surface and a lower tensile strength over a well located partial weakening area, the higher tensile strength being sufficient for preventing a manual tearing and the lower tensile strength being adapted for allowing a manual tearing of the film.
Nowadays, many products are packaged in wrappings formed of a film folded around the product. For example, the products are solid and elongated such as chocolate bars. The product can also be in a powder or granulate form, such as sugar or salt.
In the known types of packaging, the wrapping is formed by a polymer or laminate film having specific ways of opening, e.g. tear notches or other mechanical weakening. The weakening is often at the end of the long side of the wrapping. In order to reach the content of the packaging, the film must be torn off along or at a specific area of weakening.
In a known packaging, disclosed for example in FR-2.717.449, the wrapping film has a slightly microporous transverse area which extends around the packaging. For reaching the content, the user grasps the wrapping on each side of the weakening line and draws the film until the tearing of the wrapping film. The microporous transverse area extends almost all around the packaged product.
Such a packaging is relatively easy to open since the initiation of the tearing can happen anywhere around the packaging in the weakening area.
These types of packaging are not adapted for wrapping pharmaceutical drugs. Indeed, drugs or remedies have to be adequately child resistant, thus preventing misuse by children aged between 41 and 51 months.
The object of the invention is to propose a packaging which can be opened easily while preventing the young children to be able to open the packaging.
To that end, the invention relates to a packaging according to claim 1.

The longitudinal sealing seam 16 extends for example over the back face 20 of the packaging which is opposite to a front face 22 with respect to the packaged product. The front face is in general nearly flat but depending on the filling volume could also be more round shaped.
The longitudinal sealing seam 16 and the cross sealing seams 18A, 18B are obtained by sealing or welding the film 14 as know per se. For example, the sealing is made by ultrasonic waves.
After sealing, the film 14 defines a closed space 24 in which the product is contained. The closed space 24 is gas tight.
According to the invention, a partial weakening area 26 which normally will be in register with the printed artwork, is provided in the film 14.
In the weakening area, the tensile strength of the film 14 is low so that the film can be torn off if a consumer is drawing the film apart in two opposite directions in the weakening area.
Preferably, the tensile strength of the film 14 in the weakening area 26 is from 1 N/15 mm to 20 N/15 mm and, preferably, from 1 N/15 mm to N/15 mm and, more preferably, from 3 N/15 mm to 8 N/15 mm.
More precisely, the strength for initiating the rupture in the weakening area is low and is advantageously in the range of 1 N to 20 N, preferably between 3 N and 8 N and more preferably around of 5 N.
Out of the weakening area 26, the film 14 has a high tensile strength which prevents the tearing of the packaging by manual action of a consumer.
The tensile strength of the film 14 out of the weakening area 26 is from 30 N/15 mm to 150 N/15 mm and, preferably, from 40 N/15 mm to 120 N/15 mm and, more preferably, from 50 N/15 mm to 100 N/15 mm.
The strength for initiating the rupture of the film 14 out of the weakening area is high and is advantageously in the range of 20 N to 150 N, preferable between 40 N and 120 N and, more preferably, around 60 N.
In the embodiment of Figure 1, the weakening area 26 for example has a rectangular shape. The position of the weakening area 26 is in register with the seal location and the printing.

CONFIRMATION COPY
The partial weakening area has, along all directions, a dimension which is lower than 25 % of the corresponding dimension of the packaging.
In one direction, the dimension is advantageously lower than 15% of the corresponding dimension of the packaging.
In addition, the film 14 comprises a visible marking 28 locating the position of the partial weakening area 26. The marking can be incorporated in the printed artwork, e.g. Logos etc., so that only adults reading specific opening instruction can open the packaging. In that case, the visible marking is hidden in the printed artwork for a user who does not pay attention.
In the embodiment shown in Figure 1, that marking is constituted by a weakening area which matches the printed area of the film only in position 26, where it is considered to start the tear initiation. The marking 28 extends exactly over the weakening area 26.
The partial weakening area extends advantageously over a length of 3 mm to 30 mm and a width of 3 mm to 30 mm. In general the weakening area can be of any shape or pattern, e.g. square, rectangular or round shaped. The whole of its surface is contained between the cross sealing seams 18A, 28B and far enough away from the seals. The weakening area 26 normally is located on the front face 22 which is slightly flat. More precisely, it is far enough away from the longitudinal edges linking the corresponding ends of the opposite cross sealing seams 18A, 18B of packaging where normally the tear initiation would take place.
The weakening area 26 is produced by treatment of the film constituting the film 14. Advantageously, the treatment is hidden and cannot be identified except by following the marking applied on the packaging.
The weakening treatment is advantageously applied before wrapping the film around the product.
According to a first embodiment, the weakening area 26 is produced by the application of high-energy radiation, such as a laser, by application of a laser beam over the surface of the weakening area 26, before the film 14 is wrapped. Treatment by high-energy radiation is carried out on one or more layers of the film 14, when the latter comprises more than one layer.

According to another embodiment, the weakening area 26 is formed by a mechanical weakening of the film which extends over the surface of the weakening area 26. That mechanical treatment is carried out on one or more layers of the film when the latter comprises more than one layer.
According to a first example of mechanical treatment, a microporous weakening is provided in order to form the weakening area 26. Such a microporous area of a film is obtained, for example, by passing the film between two rollers and one of which rollers has been rendered abrasive over the surface to produce an area of weakening. Such a treatment is described, for example, in document FR-2.717.449.
According to a second example, the mechanical weakening is formed by cutting the thickness of one or more layers of the film when the latter comprises more than one layer. The cuts are formed by a matrix of cutting elements applied in the area 26. During treatment, the film is pressed between the matrix and a support, as is known per se.
According to yet another example, the weakening area 26 is obtained by an area of micro-perforations which do not pass through the film but drastically decrease the tensile strength of the film in the treated area.
These micro-perforations may penetrate only through one of the layers when the film comprises a plurality of layers.
According to a first embodiment, the film 14 is monolayer and is formed by a base film of polymer. Accordingly, the film 14 is a single-material film. In order to seal the film on itself, the film of polymer is advantageously coated on its inner surface with a sealing material which is applied, for example, by extrusion coating, co-extrusion or by means of a soluble coating which may applied during the application of printing inks to the base film.
The base film is preferably formed by a bi-oriented polymer film, which may be co-extruded. That film comprises, for example, polypropylene (OPP), polyester (PET) or polyamide (OPA). The thickness of the base film is generally from 5 to 100 microns and preferably from 12 microns to 50 microns.
The sealing material is chosen in order to permit fused bonding.
Typically, the thickness of the sealing material is from 10 microns to 40 CONFIRMATION COPY

In that case, the weakening is formed in the base layer.
According to a second embodiment, the film 14 is formed by two laminated layers. Accordingly, the film comprises a base layer formed of a polymer which is associated, along its inner face with a sealing layer of polymer, in order to permit fused bonding.
The base layer and the sealing layer are bonded with one another by means of lamination with an adhesive or by resin extrusion.
The base layer is advantageously formed of a bi-oriented polymer film. However, it may also be a cast film. The polymer forming the base layer is preferably polyester (PET), polyamide (OPA) or polypropylene (OPP).

(OPP)/ polypropylene (OPP)/polypropylene (PP),. polypropylene (OPP)/
polypropylene (OPP)/polyethylene (PE).
According to another variant, the film is formed of three layers and is composed, for example, of polyester (PET)/polypropylene (PP)/polyester (PET), polyester (PET)/polyethylene (PE)/polyester (PET),.polypropylene (OPP)/polypropylene (PP)/polypropylene (OPP), polypropylene (OPP)/
polyethylene (PE)/polypropylene (OPP), polyester (PET)/polypropylene (PP)/polypropylene (OPP), polyester (PET)/polyethylene (PE)/polypropylene (OPP), polyamide (OPA)/polypropylene (PP)/polypropylene (OPP), polyamide (OPA)/polyethylene (PE)/polypropylene (OPP), polyester (PET)/polypropylene (PP)/polyamide (OPA), polyester (PET)/polyethylene (PE)/polyamide (OPA).
Such a packaging is opened as follows.
The user knows that the packaging can be opened only in the weakening area. Since the weakening area is located in the visible or print incorporated marking 28, the user first identifies the weakening area by finding this special marking and then grasps the packaging preferably at each end of the weakening area. Then he transversely presses the packaging in the middle of the weakening area 26, so as to fold the film in the weakening area, as shown on Figure 2. Then, he draws away the ends of the folded weakening area in opposite direction, as shown by arrows Fl on Figure 2, until the film breaks in the weakening area 26. Especially, the free ends are drawn along a direction perpendicular to the plane of the weakening plane 26.
Thanks to the initiated cut in the weakening area 26, the packaging is then easily broken apart and separated.
The packaging allows a clear and easy way of opening by hand without any additional tools and an easy access to the product.
Due to the particular tensile strength of the film over the weakening area, the force necessary to pop up one end of the packaging is low enough to enable an easy manual opening in the weakening area but the film is strong enough to prevent an opening of the packaging out of the weakening area.

Thus, a child who is not aware of the particular location of the weakening area will not be able to open the packaging. In addition, since the weakening area has a very small extent with respect to the overall surface of the packaging, the initial tearing of the film in the weakening area is very difficult and unlikely for a child who has not skilled hands.
Other embodiments of the invention are shown on Figures 3 and 4.
In these figures, the same references as in Figures 1 and 2 are used for designating corresponding or similar parts.
In this embodiment, the weakening area 26 is for example made of a short straight line extending over the front 22. The short line 26 extends transversely, which means parallel to a cross sealing seam 18A, 18B.
The length of the weakening line is in the range of 2-8 mm. The line 26 is identified by a marking extending over the line or around. In a particular embodiment, the packaging is fully printed except at the weakening line.
Advantageously, the weakening line is made by the application of a high-energy radiation such as a laser.
As shown on Figure 4, the opening of the packaging is obtained as in the previous embodiment by drawing away the film in opposite direction from each side of the weakening line 26.
