Description

The The invention relates to a package for twice Use when sending back and forth, consisting from a hinged pocket for receiving a flat object, the pocket being formed by folding along a first longitudinal line and Gluing in the transverse direction and the pocket closure by folding along a second, parallel to the first longitudinal line second longitudinal line is formed and in this case the folding directions converge, according to the generic term of claim 1.

So-called Response bags as packages for the Use in the back and forth Returns belong to known prior art. Here is e.g. the package of one Advertising agency a selected Person delivery, then the package after exposing an already printed return address connected to e.g. an expression of interest in a particular Product or service to be returned for return gives up.

Around To keep the costs of such advertising messages low is one endeavor the format of the packages to minimize, in particular, cheap Tariffs such as the tariff Infopost standard of Deutsche Post AG to be able to use.

Furthermore, from the DE 43 38 060 C2 a double-layered address field for facilitating the utilization of a package for dual use in forward and backward already known. The address field has a lower layer, which is already provided with the return address at the time of sending. The upper layer carries the delivery address.

According to the local Teach the upper layer of the address field is made of a light removable, self-adhesive label, which in addition to the address an area for one Has token and a franking field on the lower layer of Address field covers. By using an easily removable, self-adhesive label, the top layer is easily and completely removable, so that cheap Requirements for the return of the package be created.

Out The above object of the invention, an evolved package for twice To indicate use when sending back and forth, This is particularly suitable to cost-effective postal distribution customers to be delivered and then filled to allow a return, and in a way that ensures that the recorded Object, e.g. a CD or a DVD, will not be damaged or can be.

The solution The object of the invention is carried out with a package for twice Use when sending back and forth according to the combination of features for protection claim 1, wherein the dependent claims at least expedient embodiments and represent further education.

It is from a package for the double Use in sending back and forth, this from a hinged bag made of a cardboard-like material consists. This hinged bag is used to hold a flat object, the bag being folded along a first longitudinal line and gluing in the transverse direction and the pocket closure by folding along a second, to the first longitudinal line parallel longitudinal line is formed. The folding takes place in such a way that the folding directions or folding movements run towards each other.

According to the invention is parallel to the second longitudinal line running a third longitudinal line provided for folding the pocket closure, wherein the third longitudinal line has a distance to the first longitudinal line, which is larger than the distance between the first and second longitudinal line is such that the pocket space variable, in particular is enlargeable.

Farther the bag has at least in the longitudinal direction a bond, to a defined positioning of the recorded flat object to effect.

At the Pocket closures are exquisite fugitive sealing dots for the Hinsendevorgang as well as a covered, for the Rücksendevorgang exposable Self-adhesive strips provided.

The second and third longitudinal line are designed as a grooving, so that folding in an easy way can be made by the user of the package.

Especially preferred is the format for the sending process is smaller than the format for the return.

The Format for the return process is designed so that no treatment of the package so-called automation routes takes place. By the chosen format for the Return process the mailer with the recorded flat object of a separate Undergone treatment by the respective carrier with the consequence that the desired Protection of the recorded item is protected from damage.

The flat object can be a CD-ROM, a DVD or the like storage medium.

in the Address field of the package is an adhesively adhesive label is located, which after removal an underlying return destination address releases.

in the The area between the second and third longitudinal line is an area for a token or the like franking provided by removing a Cover strip for return release is exposable.

The Label and the cover strip can one Form together and be designed to be removable together.

In Another embodiment of the invention is on the inside of the Pocket closure a form surface with details of the sender and / or customer provided.

The smaller shipping format of the shipping bag is based on the requirements the machine capability and machine readability of the shipping process matched, the Return Format just such a machine capability with possible endangering of the recorded areal Object prevented. By making the delivery format smaller as the return format is, can for the Hinsendevorgang a considerable postage amount can be saved.

The Invention will be described below with reference to an embodiment and below With the help of figures closer explained become.

in this connection demonstrate:

1 an exemplary representation of a still unfolded shipping bag in the form of a settlement;

2a a view of the back in folded insert format for first shipment to a customer;

2 B a representation similar to that after 2a but with an indicated peel-off label for exposing a token;

3a a representation of the front of the mailer in the return format with dashed lines indicated inserted CD;

3b a representation similar to that after 3a , but with the label not yet removed, which releases a destination address field for the return transaction after subtraction:

4 a perspective view of the opened mailer with recognizable second and third longitudinal line in the form of a grooving and

5 a perspective view of the mailer with recorded CD and hinted folding along the third longitudinal line.

The package shown in the figures in the form of a mailer consists of a paper material, for example, with a basis weight of 170g / m ² and an open format of about 235mm × 340mm. The closed format for the Posthinweg is about 235mm × 125mm, with the format for the Postrückweg increased to 235mm × 155mm.

The package is along a first longitudinal line 1 folded and glued in the transverse direction 2 formed, whereby thereby the pocket space 3 arises.

The pocket space 3 is limited by a longitudinally extending Abklebung 4 , which also serves to increase the stability of the bag.

The pocket closure 5 is created by folding along one of the first longitudinal line 1 parallel second longitudinal line 6 , The folding directions for forming the pocket space 3 or to close to each other.

The package also has a parallel to the second longitudinal line 6 extending third longitudinal line 7 , which is designed as grooving, for example.

Around this third longitudinal line 7 a folding of the pocket closure can be made.

Because of the third longitudinal line 7 a distance to the first longitudinal line 1 which is larger than the distance between the first 1 and second longitudinal line 6 is, is the pocket space 3 at the corresponding folding along the third longitudinal line 7 greater.

As shown 2a showing the package when closed, for first shipment to the customer, is the grooving of the third longitudinal line 7 recognizable. The pocket closure 5 leaves a strip 8th the bag free.

In the presentation after 2 B which after those 2a is still a peelable, self-adhesive label 9 to see which is suitable to release a token or the like franking (not shown).

The 3a and 3b serve the Illustrati on the front of the package as prepared for the return shipment. Due to the changed folding now along the third longitudinal line 7 shortens the pocket closure 5 with simultaneous enlargement of the pocket space 3 , which is now suitable, a disk, for example in the form of a CD 10 take.

The taping 4 prevents the CD 10 is pushed too far into the pocket space, with the result that the customer is almost forced, the folding along the third longitudinal line 7 with the result of enlarging the package.

A label on the front 9 can be removed for the return process, so that an undelivered, already printed return destination address can be exposed.

For the first shipment fugitive sealing adhesive points are to close the package on the surface 11 intended. These can be easily removed for the return process by rubbing.

Furthermore, there is a covered self-adhesive strip which can be uncovered for the return procedure on the package 12 , This self-adhesive strip 12 is activated by peeling off a protective coating, so that then for the return of the bag closure 5 with its corresponding longitudinal edge in adhesive connection occurs, so that the pocket space is no longer accessible.

The 5 shows the shipping bag with enlarged pocket space and inserted CD 10 before the process of closing the pocket closure 5 using the exposed self-adhesive strip 12 ,

With the execution of the invention the package can through low cost distribution channels Customers e.g. CD response bags are delivered, which then accordingly filled with a CD returned by post are. The package Make sure the inside CD goes through the automation links not damaged in the distribution channel can be. Therefor is the package with its pocket configuration so constructed that the cd only from the package can be included if the pocket space by folding along a predetermined line is increased. In an example changed the format after closing the CD-response bag in height of 125mm on 155mm. The masking, e.g. 25mm across the entire width in the foot of the bag is made, it prevents the CD in the CD-response bag is packed without changing the format of the bag along the groove previously folded and enlarged.

By the closed format of the CD response bag, for the return process at e.g. 155mm × 235mm is processing on automation routes in particular excluded from the Deutsche Post AG, causing damage to the recorded CD by this otherwise possible automatic editing of the package is excluded. Due to the smaller format is the Hinsendevorgang possible with lower franking costs and can over a corresponding favorable Tariff be settled.
