Description
PRIMARY pA.CKAGING UI'tiT FOR FLAT FORMS OF
A.DMa,~iYSTRATI ON
The present invention rolates to a primary packaging unit for flat forms of administration with active ingredients. In particular, it relates to a primary packaging unit in card form, wbich is formcd by a varying number of flat forms of adminisfiratior,, r~'vhieh are to be paclcaged, a section of a rigid sbeet of pAckagiztg mator.ial, on which the individual flat f'orms of adrtministration are applied on both sides and form each case one or more sections of a thin upper and lowGr sheet of packaging material.
Within the meaning of this application, examples of flat forntis oF
administration are, for instance, cosmetic, medicinal or active ingredient-containing band-aids, such as awart band-aids, insect bito band-aids or nail band-aids, muco-adhesive band-aids or oral mouth filrns.
The latter are thin filma or platelets for an oral application, which dissolve upon contact with saliva. For this reason, no beverage is requivred when these niouth filtns are ingested. This forr.c of medicinal drug is therefore particularly suitable when traveling or for activities or situations, whe7t it is clesirable to bc able to take the medication quickly and eonveniently without a liquid.
The fact that these fotms of administration offer rapid help, especially when away from home, for exarnple, when traveling, is a property, whicli is to be emphasized and is ii common fcature of all forms of ldministration, which comc under tho heacling of f]at fornzs of admioistration within the mEaning of this appli,cation. Idea)ly, these forms of adminisrration can be carried along conveniently and unobtrusively ready, as well as at hand, at all times on the person of the user, i'or example, in a money purse or in a shirt pocket or trouser pocket.
Nevertheless, since the foim of administration mav be a medicinal drug, each dose mtist be packaged individually.
Moreover, because of the special ratio of thickress to area of said forsrrs of administration, a thin, flat packagixtg suggests itself.
A start fox solving the problem of cteating such a primaty packaging unit is found in the DE 298 23 463 U1. Nevertheless, this application, although it describes the prior art that comes closest to the present inLGntioa, does not fulfill all the requiremcnts, which must be met by a primary packaging unit, which is intended for and therefore particularly suitable for the purpose described above.
On the one h,and, the prxmary packaging tinit proposcd there consists ottly of one section of an uppcx and a lower sheet of a packaging niaterial, so that the area of the ptimary packaging unit, wh4th is available, is used onlv on one sidc. As a result, in coinparison to the invention described hcre, twice the area of the primary packaging unit is required for the same size of the individually packaged, flat fonn$
of adxninistration. If a meaningful number of individual doses of flat forzns of administration of a particularly preferred size of 4 - 7 cm2 arc to be carried along, this leads to a package unit, which is so rarge, that it can no longer be carried convcniently on the person of the user without bending or buckling, which could cause the integrity of the packaging and, with that, of the fonn oi xdministratioTi to be lost.
Moreovcrr, the perforations, which are provided in the DE 298 23 463 U1 betweem the compat-tcnEntS, in which the individual forms of administration are Located, and which enable the i,ndividual compardxyents to be detaclicd Nvhen required, prove to be unsuitable for t'he purpose, ott which this invention is based.
Due to the perforations, the sti,ffnoss of the primary packaging unit inevitably is lost, so that, especially under a mechanical stress, 'the bcnding and pulling apart into the individual compat'tments, which have already been described previously, easily comc about, so that it is no longer possible to carry this pack:tgina urit olortg ]ooselv.
Furthecmore, it is regarded as rather impractical, if individual compartments of'the pritnary packaging unit can be detached since, as a result, there is no active control over the individual doses already used. For.example, in the casc of a rnedical, drug, which is to be used no more than three times daily, it is difficult to detetmine how many individual doses have alrcady been ttsed during a day, if it is possiblc to detach only one or two Sttoh compartments and to carry them along.
It is therefore an object of the prese t invention to create a primary packaging unit for flat forms of administration with active ingzedients, which satisfies all the aforementioned requirements, without having the disadvantagcs described.
This objective is accomplished by making available a primary packaging unit for flat forms of administration (Figure 2, 4) with, a section of a rigid packaging material middle sheet (Figure 2, 1) and with, in each case one or more sections of a flexible packaging matezial upper and lower sheet (Figure 2, 2), which is characterized in that the rigid middle shect of packaging material, on either side of which a vaX;,able number of flat fotms of administration may be applied (Figure 2b), may be combined, by sealing or gluing, on the one side witlz one or more sections of a flexible sheet of packaging material and, on the opposite side with onc or more sections of a flexible sheet of packaging material into a unit in such a manner, that a stable, yet flexible card, which is not more than I n1m thick, is obtained, for which the flat forms of administration arc and remain packaged individually, even if one of the several forms of administration is removed, without tlze card having pexForations betwcen the ii-xdividually packaged forms of administcatiori.
This combination of distinguishi,ng features is neccssaty, in order to ariive at the required, practicable primary packaging unit in a card format, which is refcrred to in the following as R,apidcard.
In principle, a Rapidc2.rd of any convenient size is possible.
Howeve=r, an embodiment, which corresponds in its dimensions to a credit card, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, is particuIarly preferred. These standard dimensions enable the Rapidcard to be carried conveniently in the breast pocket of a shirt, the back pocket of trousers or in the money purse.
ln a preferred embodiment of the credit card format, a variation is a specialty prefErrcd, for which 2-10 flat forms of administration, having an irea of 2-crn~ and preferably 3 flat forms of administration, having an area of 4-7 ernY, can bc packaged on aach side of the card.
An inventive example of a variation with 6 rectar,gular flat forms of administra,tion having an area of, 6 cm2 is given in Figures ] and 2 and described in gxeater detail itt the following, without thereby iimiting the already listed possible variations in any way.
The l,tapidcard is eharaeterized in that 6 rectangular flal forms of administration, having an area of 6 cm=, are applied on a sealablc, flat, stiff middle sheet of packaging rnaterial, having a maximurn thickness of 0.6 rnm (Figure 3, rcferred to, in the following, as carrier sheet), for exunple, of PE, PP, PVC, PETG., PETGAG, COC or multilayer laminates, such as PE/paper/PE, PE/PVC/PE etc.
Moreover, in each oase 3 forms of administration are applied on the front side as well as on rhe back side,of the carrier sheet in such a way, that thcy do not mutually touch olie another and that theTe is sufficient distance bem~cen them, in order to enclose eorrzpletcly cach form of adininistration individually by scaling or g,luing it onto one or more scctions of a~lexible upper or lower sheet of packaging material and, with that, protect it against extemll influences (carnpare Figure 2b).
A flat, thin materigl, which has a maximum tluclmess of 0.2 mm and represents a barrier for the moisture arad oxygen of the air (Figura 2; 2 and rigure 4, referred to in the following as protective film) is used as the upper and lower sbcet of packaging nzatetial respectively. After thc sealing or giuing, this material must bavc the property of peelability, that is, after one or several sections of this protective fllm h-ave been scaled or glued onto the rigid csrrier shect, it must be possiblL
to pull it off again from the carrier sheet at a later time with little expenditurc of forcc, in order to remove the corresponding form of administration. For tivis purpose, fiirn-like matcriaIs with diffbren,t barrier properties corne into consideration, depend'uib on the properties of the fozms of adm.inistration, which are to be packagcd. For example, a tra.nsparcnt film having barrier properties with respeet to the humidity of the air, sucli as pEIPCTk'~lPE, can be used if the product is to be seen and thcrc is no light sensitivity. In order to be a sufficient barrier for water vapor, the pC1'pE
aiust havc a minimum sickness of 54 r,a.
If the product is light sensitivc, a film car, be ttsed, which is colored or coated or contains an aluminum layer and by means of which, aside from pTotection against life, tberc is also protection against rnoisture and oxygen from the air.
-rhe 3 flat forms of administration on each side of the cairier sheet are now sealed with the protective film or the latter is glued. on in such a manneT, that each form of administration is enclosed cornpleteIy, on all sides, and sealed frorri its environment, without parts of the form of administration being enclosed in the sealing scam or adhesion surface (Figure 2, 3) between the carrier sheet and thc protectivc film. Yn Figure 5, the adhesion or $caiing stiirfaces are shown in a rccl.
The machine parameters during the sealing or gluing process, as well as the width of the sealing seam or adhesion surfacc, obtained during the corresponding process, are selected so that the product is protected efi7cicntly against external, stability-affecting factors for the pEriod of the shelf life that has beett determincd an.d that neverthelcss, at a later time, a simple opening of the sealing seam or of the adhesion surfaoe for retnoval is possible.
Unless this is already possible due to the nature of tlsc scnling or adhesion process, the section or sections of the protective film are to be procEsscd ntrthcm-tore in such a manncr, that it is possible to open the sealir,g kearr or adi-icsion surface of only one individual form of adnainisuation and to renzove the latter, without thereby opening: or damaging the protective packaging of a rieighboring form of administration. Tltis can be achieved, for example, owing to the fact that thc protective film has a notch between the individual forms of administ,ration (Figtire 2, S).
Moreover, the protective film may be configtlred so that it has a tcar.-open tab for each individual form of administration in order to sirnplify the opening process (Figure 2, 2). Such a tab represents part of the protective film, which is in direct contact with the individuatly packaged form of administration, biu is not connected with the carrier sheet by scaling, adhesion or other measures and, instead, rests loosely on the carrier shcet. By lifting this tap artd pulling in the direction of the lower edge of the card, the sealing seam or adhesion surface of the corresponding rcgioti of the card can be opened and the flat form of administration removod.
Instead of a tear-open tab, a predetermined breaking point may also be provided here.
The carrier sheet, as well as the protective films may, if t-equirect, be printed with information (Figurc 1).
