Description

The invention relates to a transport packaging for receiving a plurality of containers, in particular containers for storing washing and / or cleaning agents, wherein the transport packaging is formed from a folding blank and comprises means for ergonomic opening of the transport packaging.

State of the art

For the packaging of a variety of liquid, gel-like, solid and / or free-flowing products such as from the group of laundry detergents, dishwashing detergents, pharmaceuticals, personal care products, agricultural auxiliaries, building materials, dyes, adhesives or food, it is common today to use cardboard packaging.

From the prior art, a variety of cardboard for the purpose of storage and transport of free-flowing goods are known, including those which comprise a closable by means of a cardboard closure formed lid.

Typically, such covers are connected via a perforation with the hull of the cardboard so that the lid can be opened by tearing the perforation and the contents can be removed from the cardboard.

Also, transport or outer packaging for storage and transport of a plurality of packaging such as bottles, cans, cartons, etc. are known. Such containers to be used both as a carton and as a sales assistant, also often referred to as a shipping folder, are often used in retail. The advantage is that the sales units fulfill both the function of a protective during transport overpacking and later when placing in the business the function of a sales promotion of the goods, without a separate presentation would be required. In many cases, the respective, any carton is even simply cut in such a way that the content for the customer, preferably in self-service stores, only visible.

Experience has shown that the cartons are cut obliquely or almost diagonally at the side parts, so that after complete removal of the upper carton area, the so-called display sales unit is created, which still holds the block of goods, the piece removal and pricing allows but readily.

The interest of the retail trade in the use of packaging as a product presentation is supported by the packaging industry with corresponding developments. There are therefore a variety of Umverpackungsvarianten, which can be converted with more or less great effort after transport and storage to sales helpers. For example, a tear tape is made up on the inside of the outer carton during manufacture, which is to be torn open before the goods presentation, so that the sales assistant is created. The cartons may also be made from corresponding blanks having one or more parts such that the conversion from the clean packaging to the display sales unit is facilitated.

In particular, perforations are provided as an opening aid to allow opening of the shipping folding box without additional aids, such as a pair of scissors or a knife.

task

The object of the invention is therefore to provide a transport packaging that can be opened in a simple and convenient way without tools.

opening aid

In order to facilitate the opening of the transport packaging according to the invention and the complete separation of the lid from the box body, weakening lines are advantageously provided as first opening aids on the transport packaging.

This first opening aid represents a material weakening in the blank of the folding carton, which can be relatively easily destroyed by pushing in, pulling out, tearing up or tearing off so as to subsequently ensure effortless detachment of the lid from the carton body.

The first opening aid can partially or completely separate the box body from the lid.

The weakening line can be configured in particular as a perforation, tear thread, tear strip or the like. It is particularly preferable to carry out the perforation as a zipper perforation, since this perforation has particularly stable holding points with at the same time good tearing behavior. In particular, the weakening line can also be designed as a ripper with front and / or Rückseitenritzung.

Furthermore, a second opening aid is provided on the transport packaging, which facilitates the tearing or tearing of the lid from the box body by ergonomically advantageous grip areas are provided on the lid and the box body, in which the user can intervene and by their position to the line of weakness or lid and box body an advantageous lever or force is exerted on the line of weakness, so that the separation of the lid can be controlled and done with the least possible effort for the user.

It is particularly preferred that the grip areas are provided in the lid region of the transport packaging. Alternatively, the grip areas can also be formed on the lateral surface of the transport packaging. Of course, it is also conceivable to arrange the grip areas on the lateral surface and lid region of the transport packaging.

In the following the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to a drawing illustrating only embodiments. In this case, particularly preferred embodiments and particularly preferred combinations of features are further described in detail. It shows:
