Description

Packaging and method of use
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a packaging container having a cavity, wherein the cavity contains a plurality of corresponding products, in particular ordered products.
Background
When manufacturing products at a factory, many products are often packaged together in groups for ease of handling. This is especially true if the products being manufactured are relatively small, such as consumables. In particular, if a factory produces a variety of products, it is typical to pack together a group of products of a single variety, as this is simpler and more cost effective. For example, if it is a food product, a group of products of the same flavor or recipe may be packaged together.
Factories sometimes provide various package-type packages containing different varieties in a single package. However, such various packages are typically sold to consumers and may themselves be packaged together in a combined package.
Such packets may then be conveniently shipped to a wholesaler, or, more recently, an e-commerce processor.
Under normal circumstances, the wholesaler will sell the collection of packages at the factory to the retailer without disturbing the factory packaging. The retailer will then typically remove the product from the collective package for sale.
However, the transport processor may wish to provide customized services to online customers. In this case, the shipping processor takes the product from the factory packaging and sends the custom order packaging to the customer before preparing the custom order.
Particularly for certain types of products, transport handlers wish to provide the public with the possibility to select themselves the combination of varieties they want to deliver to their home. In this case, the variety of the order will be selected by the shipping processor from the order, and the custom order will then be placed in a new package and shipped to the customer.
Since the order is custom made, the number of products packaged by the shipping processor will inevitably be different from the number of products present in the aggregate package.
In this case, the packaging from the factory that brings together the products of the same variety appears to be no longer available to the shipping processor and is discarded. The shipping handler then prepares the custom order using its own packaging, and may select the packaging based on the order size. This wastes factory-assembled packaging.
For example, in a typical pick-to-light system, the pick-up sequence begins with the operator scanning the start area of a bar code address label attached to a transport carton or suitcase. The display screen tells the operator which products can be picked up and the number of each product.
The widespread use of light pick-up systems in the industry results in a significant amount of packaging waste. This is because the packaging used from the factory is removed and discarded before placing the product on the pick-to-light shelf. The picker then uses the new packaging to package the customer's order, often differently sized boxes for different order quantities, e.g., boxed 5 products, boxed 10 products, boxed 15 products, etc.
WO2011/32735 discloses a transport package for producing stackable display packages, wherein a portion of the package can be inserted into the package.
CA 2010833 discloses a modular tote that can be rearranged to provide slots in the container to accommodate dividers.
Disclosure of Invention
In a first aspect, the invention relates to a packaging container having a chamber, wherein the chamber comprises a plurality of corresponding products of a size such that a number of such products substantially completely fill the chamber, the packaging comprising at least one removable portion of a size such that the at least one removable portion can be removed from the packaging, rearranged to adopt an expanded form and placed within the chamber, with the effect of reducing the volume of the chamber available for the products by a factor of n, where n is an integer, while retaining the feature that a number of such products substantially completely fill the chamber.
The packaging container provided by the invention can thus be substantially filled with several respective products and can be emptied and refilled with a smaller number of respective products. The remaining space in the chamber is received by the at least one removable portion. Thus, the packaging container may be used to ship a collection of factory packaging to a shipping processor. The transport processor may empty the contents of the packaging container and reuse the container for packaging the customized order even if the packaging container is not filled with the number of products for which the order is intended.
By "substantially completely filling the chamber" is meant that a sufficient amount of the product fits closely within the package without the contained product being free to move.
The term "removable" means that the portion includes such features: i.e. to enable clean and tidy removal of the portion from the packaging container without damaging the packaging or the removable portion, e.g. by pulling the portion away from the body of the packaging.
The invention is particularly suitable for ordering customized consumer products, such as coffee or tea products, preferably tea, for example, stored in a capsule, extracted by a beverage machine.
Preferably, each removable portion reduces the available volume by 1 to 30 products, more preferably 1 to 14 products, most preferably 2 to 6 products.
The packaging container may be made of various materials, but is usually made of cardboard and may take a substantially flat form for storage.
The packaging container may take various shapes and sizes, however, the chamber is typically cubic.
The product may take a variety of shapes and sizes, however, the product is typically cubic.
Preferably, removal of the removable portion does not change the available volume of the chamber.
The removable portion preferably forms at least a part of one side of the package, preferably a part or all of the top surface of the package. Preferably, the at least one removable portion is each a flat sheet of paper containing pre-folds.
The packaging container may have any number of removable portions as desired, but the invention has been found to be particularly effective when the number of removable portions is from 1 to 4, preferably 2.
In a particular embodiment, there are two removable portions that form substantially the entire face of the package therebetween.
Preferably, the at least one removable portion is attached to the package by a weakened area, preferably by perforations.
As discussed, the packaging container contains a plurality of respective products. Thus, in the initially preferred embodiment, the package is filled with a plurality of corresponding products. This is, for example, the condition under which the packages leave the plant, and preferably all of the same variety.
In this embodiment, preferably the chamber of the packaging container contains 4 to 100 products, preferably 6 to 50, more preferably 10 to 30, before the volume is reduced. This product quantity means that a custom order for any quantity of product can be more easily fulfilled by a reduction in the volume provided by the removable portion.
The invention has been found to be particularly effective when the products are cubes and are of such a size that a number of such products substantially completely fill the chamber.
Thus, in the preferred embodiment that follows, the package is filled with a combination of a plurality of corresponding products and at least one removable portion in expanded form. Preferably, the product comprises several different varieties, for example several different types of tea.
In a preferred embodiment, each removable portion may take more than one form of deployment, preferably two forms of deployment, each reducing the volume of the chamber by a different amount. In a particularly preferred embodiment, each removable portion can take a first expanded form having 2 product volumes and a second expanded form having 4 product volumes.
In a second aspect, the present invention relates to a method of preparing a customized product package for a consumer who has placed a customized order, the method involving
a. A package containing a plurality of products as described herein is obtained,
b. a number of products are taken out of the package,
c. adding a plurality of varieties of products to the package according to the customized order, wherein the added quantity is less than the quantity taken out in the step b,
d. removing the at least one removable portion from the package,
e. the removed portion is rearranged to take an unfolded form and placed in the package so as to take up the volumetric difference between the quantity of product removed and the quantity of product added.

Detailed Description
Turning to the drawings, as shown in figure 1, at a tea processing plant, tea-containing capsules are packaged in cube packs 1 or cartons, each containing a number of tea capsules of the same type. According to the invention, 16 such cubic cartons are placed in a cubic package 2 or box, forming two adjacent columns of 8 packets. For example, a package may contain 16 packets, each packet containing 12 tea capsules, all 12 x 16 capsules being of the same type of tea. It can be seen that the 16 sachets essentially completely fill the cavity of the package, as none of the sachets in the package are free to move.
The lid of the box is closed but not sealed/taped. The box is then placed on a pallet and sent to the packer.
As shown in fig. 2 to 4, at the packer, the packer removes the box from the tray and peels the perforated cover flaps 4, 6 from the box and stores it for later use. The bin is then placed on the back of the pick-to-light shelf with the products still in the bin (saving time and minimizing product handling).
When taking a custom order, in front of the pick-to-light shelf, the picker uses an empty box (previously emptied) as shown in fig. 5 and picks different flavors of tea according to the customer's order.
If the consumer orders 16 cartons, then no adjustment of the carton is required, as the carton is initially sized for 16 cartons. The consumer may order 8 to 16, e.g. 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, by a factor of 2.
To fill the void/space in the box, the picker reuses the previously removed cover flaps 4, 6 and folds them along the pre-perforated lines and inserts them into the box. As shown in fig. 5, the lid flaps 4, 6 have special perforations so that they can be folded to fill the void of 4 or 2 cartons. As shown in fig. 5 and 6, one flap has been folded to occupy the volume of four boxes of tea.
As shown in fig. 7, the 12 cartons of the custom order fill the remaining volume of the package. When the order is complete, a new premium lid is placed on the box and tied together with the customer's address label, ready to be sent to the customer, as shown in fig. 8. The package thus retains the feature that several of these products (in this case 12) substantially completely fill the package's cavity.
With this arrangement, all possible orders of 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16 can be accommodated. Fig. 9 shows an arrangement with an order of 16 cartons, fig. 10 14 cartons, fig. 11 shows two different possible configurations of 12 cartons, fig. 12 shows a configuration of 10 cartons, and fig. 13 shows a configuration of 8 cartons. In each case, all available volume of the package is occupied by the product 1 or the combination of unfolded flaps 4, 6.
