Description

The invention relates to a bottle packaging made of foldable flat material, preferably of cardboard.

Bottle carriers are known, which are formed from a strip-shaped blank made of cardboard, which is wrapped around a group of bottles like a sleeve, wherein overlapping edge regions of the blank are glued together. Such cuff-type bottle carriers ("wraps") are usually open at the ends and intended only for carrying a small group of 4 or 6 bottles. In the EP 2 149 506 A1 is a sleeve-like bottle carrier described.

Also known are bottle carrier made of cardboard, a box-shaped carrier with a bottom wall, longitudinal walls and end walls, a parallel to the two longitudinal walls center wall in the carrier and the end walls parallel transverse webs between the middle wall and the longitudinal walls to form compartments in the carrier. Bottles can be used in the compartments. The middle wall has a handle opening at the top for carrying the bottle carrier. Such baskets-like bottle carriers ("baskets") are available in an open-top design and in a closed-top design with a closed basket. They are known for groups of 4, 6, 8 or 10 bottles. In the EP 1 829 792 B1 are basket-like bottle carrier described.

Folding cartons made of corrugated board with inserted compartments ("partionioner") to avoid glass contact for 24 beer bottles are also known. The corrugated board is printable with only moderate quality and the blanks have a large space requirement. The cartons can be easily deformed, punctured and perforated during transport. The consumer must take the complete carton or individual bottles.

There are also box-type carton cartons with a bottom wall, side walls and a top wall that completely enclose a group of bottles. The top wall has handle openings for carrying the bottle carrier. The bottle carriers are well printable and suitable for a larger group of bottles, for example for a group of 24 bottles. They are also good for stacking. The EP 0 983 946 B1 describes such a bottle carrier, which has a reinforcing wall of a further blank of cardboard between the group of containers and the top wall. The reinforcing wall is provided with further engagement openings which are arranged below the engagement opening of the top wall. Furthermore, the reinforcing wall has longitudinal flaps on the longitudinal sides. The reinforcing wall gives the bottle carrier the required strength in the grip area and avoids deformations in the area of the side walls, end walls and corners. The bottle carrier has weakening lines emanating from the engagement openings which delimit tear tabs which are detachable along the lines of weakness. The consumer can either take the entire bottle carrier or individual bottles. Both the transport of a box with a large number of bottles and the transport of single bottles is troublesome.

Based on this, the object of the invention is to provide a bottle packaging which allows consumers with different needs a selection and a convenient transport of a suitable number of bottles.

The object is achieved by a bottle packaging with the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the bottle packaging are specified in subclaims.
