multilocular Tray packaging (2) with one side on top through a film seal (4) closed, multi-chamber container (10), characterized by one, outside on the container (10) attached shell casing (20), wherein the shell casing at least two opposite ones Elements (24, 24 ', 25, 25') comprising the container (10) from the outside border and optionally support.

Description

The The present invention relates to tray packs, so-called trays, in particular multi-chambered tray packaging. Such multi-chambered Tray packaging is for example of yogurt packaging and / or snack foods known in which several identical or different product types in a combined or multiple packaging in the chambers or trays are packed.

conventional Packaging of the above known An from a shell, for example a deep-drawn or injection-blown bowl, and a printed one Cover film have the disadvantage that the side walls of the blister strong design restrictions subject or can not be designed. This is what it is for example necessary, mandatory information such as ingredient texts, nutritional value tables and the like on the cover sheet accommodate what the possibilities an appealing product or packaging design considerably limits.

Also the conventional one Approach the entire blister pack with one over the Cover foil extending banderole, has the disadvantage, that when opening with the removal of the band and the removal of the cover sheet of the blister, the band is just another waste. About that addition is after opening the packaging, d. H. in the case of eating food, only nor the normally less responsive blister exists, while the entire surface provided with pressure design together with the blister and the banderole disappears, creating an unwanted anonymization the packaging is created.

It is therefore desirable, conventional, usually less appealing blister packs for product presentation in terms of design options the applicable materials and uses to improve.

It is more desirable Upgrade shell packaging and additional surfaces for inscriptions, and for presentation of advertising.

According to one Aspect, the present invention with a multi-chambered shell packaging a one-sided, top-mounted film seal or lid foil or

cover sheet and a shell coat ready. The shell jacket is outside of the multi-chambered container or bowl container in particular by gluing or sealing attached. The shell coat has at least two opposing elements, the the container of Outside border and optionally support. The elements extend on at least two sides of the bowl container, which are adjacent to the side, where the one-sided foil seal is attached. The shell coat may be at the bottom and at one, at two, at three or four outer sidewalls of the shell container extend. In a substantially polygonal tray container can the shell jacket also extend around several or all side walls.

Therefore the shell does not come with those in the package Products in contact. The shell does not extend into the area in which the one-sided foil seal closes the bowl container. Thereby the film seal can be removed or the packaging opened, without having to remove the shell jacket. The tray container can for example, made of a plastic or a composite material deep be drawn. The tray container can for example, from plastic by blow molding or injection molding be prepared.

Preferably the elements are ring-shaped with each other connected. The elements can continue to be connected to the shell bottom. Preferably extends the shell jacket on at least three adjacent Sides U-shaped or annular around the bowl container. The shell jacket can also be annular along all side surfaces of the shell container extend.

Preferably the shell jacket extends at least two opposite Sides of the bowl container and at the bottom of the bowl container U-shaped around the bowl container. Of the Shell coat can also hand or cup-shaped on all sides and at the bottom of the bowl container extend.

Preferably is the container essentially rectangular and the shell jacket has four each other in pairs opposite each other Elements on the container border and optionally support.

Prefers is the shell jacket with a shell bottom or shell jacket bottom Mistake. This may result in a substantially cross-shaped blank for the Shell shell revealed.

Preferably, the elements of the shell jacket can extend into the region of the sealing edge of the film seal. Preferably, the film seal is attached to a laterally projecting beyond the side surfaces of the shell container sealing edge of the shell container, and the Scha lenmantel advantageously has projections which rest at the bottom of the sealing edge. The protrusions may be implemented in the form of tabs, which are essentially an extension of the side walls of the shell shell.

Of the Shell jacket may preferably by gluing or by sealing on the shell side walls and / or at the bottom of the tray and / or at the bottom of the sealing edge of the container be attached.

Of the Shell jacket can with the tabs in cross section substantially the shape of a U's with outward have curved ends. This shape of the shell jacket can be very easy to attach to the tray container, since the tabs pressed from below to the edge of the seal, glued or sealed can be. This is especially the case if the bowl container also has in cross-section substantially the shape of a U with outwardly bent ends.

Of the Shell jacket can with the tabs in cross section substantially the shape of a U's having inwardly bent ends. This particular can useful be when the tray container in cross-section substantially the shape of a U with outwardly bent ends (i e. the sealing edge). Then the combination of these two Form a parallelepiped or a straight prism. The after Outside projecting sealing edge can then be defined by a distance of the side walls of the shell container and the shell mantle. This form of shell mantle let yourself on the bowl container in which the tabs are glued to the edge of the seal from below or sealed.

Prefers is the multi-chambered bowl container a thermoforming container. Thermoforming container are for example of yoghurt packaging or snack packaging known as pretzel sticks and the like.

Preferably is the multi-chambered container produced by injection blow molding or by deep drawing.

Preferably the blister is made of opaque material and can at least partly made of transparent or transparent material. This allows the bowl container or blister or multi-chamber blister the view of the packaged Release products.

According to one Another aspect of the present invention is a multi-chambered Cup wrapping with one side at the top by one Foil seal closed, multi-chambered shell container provided the shell packaging outside on the bowl container is provided with a single-chamber, bowl-shaped container as a "mantle", the multi-chamber shell container from the outside borders and optionally supported.

The is called, the container casing disclosed in the above description can also by one, on (with rectangular geometry of the shell container) five pages closed shell to be implemented. This tray-in-tray packaging can be carried out more easily than a single-substance packaging.

Prefers For example, the lid film of the film seal comprises a plastic film. The plastic film may further preferably be transparent. The plastic film can also be vapor-deposited and / or printed with metal. The plastic film can usually be connected by means of sealing or gluing with the shell container, so that an air-impermeable Completed becomes. In the non-food sector, however, an airtight conclusion is not absolutely necessary, so that the lid foil only with positive fit the container connected, d. H. is clamped.

Prefers the film of the film seal is a composite film. The composite foil can metal, plastic, wax, nonwoven or fiber films or Layers and the like include. The foil seal can vapor or air permeable or -impermeable be. The use of a plastic film has the advantage that the top not protected by the shell, even when in use a correspondingly resistant film material higher Can withstand loads, and therefore not by a banderole protected must be what constitutes a material saving.

Prefers consist of the bowl container and / or the shell mantle and the bottom of the shell mantle as well as the elements made of (transparent) plastic material, in particular polyethylene, Polypropylene, polycarbonate and the like.

Preferably is the shell of paper or cardboard material or Cardboard built. In a preferred embodiment, the shell shell and the bottom of the tray is a folding blank.

Prefers the shell jacket comprises a plastic material. In one embodiment The shell shell or the elements of the shell shell comprises a Metal component, wherein the metal component also from a metallization can exist.

Of the Shell jacket can be made of a metal, a plastic or composite material be deeply drawn.

Preferably the shell is printed, d. H. from a printable material manufactured. The shell can be printed inside and outside.

Prefers the shell is folded out of a bow. The shell coat can be made of a metal sheet, a plastic sheet, or a paper, Cardboard or composite material to be folded.

Prefers the shell packaging is a single-substance packaging. That is, the Tray container, the Foil seal and the shell jacket are made of a material made of a material type or a mixture of materials, whereby There are significant benefits to disposal and recycling.

Preferably includes the tray packaging in addition to the foil seal a second film seal, the at least one, but not closes all chambers sealingly. Thereby can each individual chambers to all other chambers are sealingly closed. Thus it is for example possible, one or more liquid condiments, Dips or dips in one or more chambers separated from each other and clean from surrounding snacks and appetizing to accommodate.

The second film seal is preferred in the closed state completely covered by the first film seal. This can be chips are sold with one or more dips, the several different sorts of nibbles in each one subarea the mutually unsealed chambers are housed and the dips are hidden under a second tear film. Thereby be the liquid ones or viscous products better protected, and the packaging can be easier and without the risk of splashing liquids open.

Preferably the film seal is reclosable. This embodiment can through an adhesive closure be implemented, wherein one provided with an adhesive layer Closure an opening and resealing allowed. As a result, the present invention, for example, for Selbstdrehraucher implemented with a tobacco compartment, a filter compartment and a paper tray become.

• – Die Gestaltungsfläche des Produktfacings (bzw. der Deckelfolie 4) kann attraktiver und größer ausgeführt werden, da Zutatentexte, Nährwerttabelle und dergleichen nicht mehr dort, sondern beispielsweise auf dem Traymantel 10 (z. B. am Traymantelboden 22) aufgedruckt werden können.
• – Durch den Traymantel steht insgesamt sehr viel mehr Fläche für die Gestaltung zur Verfügung (z. B. durch die zusätzlichen Seitenflächen und den Boden des Mantels).
• – Der Traymantel 20 bleibt auch bei geöffneter Verpackung mit dem Tray 10 verbunden, wodurch die Markengebung bzw. das Branding erhalten bleibt. Dadurch wird die Verpackung durch das Öffnen nicht anonymisiert, wie es bei herkömmlichen Blistern mit Banderole nach dem Entfernen von Banderole und Deckelfolie geschieht.
• – Der Einsatz des Traymantels 20 erhöht die Stabilität des Blisters 2 bzw. des Trays 10. Damit kann die Wanddicke des Trays 10 herabgesetzt werden (Schutz gegen Abknicken).
• – Der Traymantel 20 kann ganz oder teilweise aus Rezyklat bestehen, da dieser nicht direkt mit einem eventuell empfindlichen Produkt in dem Tray 10 in Berührung kommt.
• – Sofern der Tray 10 und der Traymantel 20 keine Einstoffverpackung darstellen, also beispielsweise aus Kunststoff und Kartonmaterial bestehen, können die beiden Teile bei geeigneter Wahl des Befestigungsmittels für eine Abfallsortierung leicht voneinander getrennt werden.

The present invention offers the following advantages over the prior art (consisting of tray and printed cover foil):

• - The design area of the product facings (or the cover foil 4 ) can be made more attractive and larger, since ingredient texts, nutritional value table and the like no longer there, but for example on the traymantel 10 (eg on the traymantel floor 22 ) can be printed.
• - Through the traymantel is much more overall surface for the design available (eg, by the additional side surfaces and the bottom of the shell).
• - The Traymantel 20 stays with the tray open even with the tray 10 which preserves branding or branding. As a result, the packaging is not anonymized by the opening, as is done with conventional banners with band after removing banderole and lid foil.
• - The use of the Traymantels 20 increases the stability of the blister 2 or the tray 10 , This allows the wall thickness of the tray 10 be reduced (protection against kinking).
• - The Traymantel 20 may be made entirely or partially of recycled material, as it is not directly with any sensitive product in the tray 10 comes into contact.
• - If the tray 10 and the traymantel 20 represent no single-use packaging, so for example, made of plastic and cardboard material, the two parts can be easily separated from each other with a suitable choice of the fastener for waste sorting.
