Description

The present invention relates to a packaging material for forming a folding carton having a semi-automatic bottom and a corresponding surface blank.

Folding cartons are traditionally used for packaging goods to be shipped or stored, for example. It is particularly important in shipping departments of large department stores and online mail order companies that ship a large number of shipments in a very short time, that the folding cartons can be set up quickly and easily and filled with goods. It is important that the packing personnel need only a few steps to set up the folding carton in order to provide the folding carton in a partially erected and opened state, so that the packing staff can pack the goods in the folding carton in a very short time and quickly close the folding carton. can seal.

Another requirement for folding cartons is that they are sturdy enough with respect to a ballast, so that, for example, a plurality of folding cartons can be stacked on one another without the content of the folding cartons being damaged by the ballast. This is especially important for the stacking of erected and filled folding cartons for storage and transportation.

In particular, the provision of folding cartons with very low heights poses a problem. In conventional folding cartons with low height sidewalls, the ballast must usually be carried along by the contents of the folding carton since the covers and bottoms of conventional folding cartons are often too weak. to be able to carry a high load.

Furthermore, it is not possible with existing folding boxes with a semi-automatic folding mechanism for machine-technical reasons to make the filling height small. Rather, a certain level is necessary to activate the folding mechanism.

In the known semi-automatic folding mechanisms, it is necessary, after a partial installation of the folding carton, that the semi-automatic bottom is pressed into the opened box from above in order to make the bottom flat, because the floor does not arrange itself flat when setting up. This additional step is therefore always necessary.

As is known, in the production of known folding cartons by punching, a blank lying flat in a plane is first of all produced, which then results in the so-called "folded state" by transferring different regions and bonding. To enable space-saving transport, the folding cartons are delivered to the consumer in the folded state. It is desirable that the height of the folded state is as low as possible. However, in the folded state, known folding cartons have at least five layers arranged one above the other.

Another disadvantage of the known folding cartons is the often non-existent theft protection. Conventional folding cartons often have only three or four surface sections, which form the lid or the ceiling surface. In a set up condition, d. H. When the folding carton is assembled cuboid and, for example, already filled with a product, it is often easily possible to grip laterally between the ceiling surface and at least one side surface in the interior of the folding carton. So it is easily possible for a thief to take the goods through this open area between the lid and side wall of the carton without having to open the folding carton.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a folding box and a corresponding surface blank with a semi-automatic bottom, with which a low filling height can be realized, which has a high stability, is very well suited for stacking, while a high theft protection is present and can be filled from above.

The problem is solved by the independent claim. Advantageous developments emerge from the subclaims.

One aspect of the present invention relates to a packaging material for forming a folding carton having a semi-automatic bottom in a folded state, comprising:
a first bottom wall surface and a second bottom wall surface;
a first top panel and a second top panel;
a first side wall surface, a second side wall surface, a third side wall surface, and a fourth side wall surface;
a first bottom folding surface and a second bottom folding surface;
a first ceiling folding surface and a second ceiling folding surface;
wherein the first side wall surface is hingedly connected to the fourth side wall surface, the first bottom folding surface to the second bottom wall surface, and the first ceiling folding surface to the second top wall surface each by means of at least one adhesive flap;
wherein the first bottom folding surface is further hinged to each of the first side wall surface and the first bottom wall surface;
wherein the first ceiling folding surface is further hingedly connected to each of the first side wall surface and the top wall surface;
wherein the second bottom folding surface is hingedly connected to each of the first bottom wall surface, the second bottom wall surface, and the third side wall surface;
wherein the second ceiling folding surface is hingedly connected to each of the first top panel, the second top panel, and the third side panel;
wherein a first portion of an inside surface of the first bottom folding surface is connected to a second portion of an inside surface of the first bottom wall surface; and
wherein a third portion of an inside surface of the second bottom folding surface is connected to a fourth portion of an inside surface of the second bottom wall surface.

A packaging material having the features of the present invention is preferably provided as a blank of packaging material. Here, the area blank may be provided in various states.

Thus, the area blank can be provided in an "area state". With a surface state, the state of the surface blank is designated, in which the surface blank is preferably designed as a single layer, for example, as a blank cut or punched out of a packaging material.

Another condition of the area blank may be the "folded state". An area blank in a folded state preferably has only three layers. This is understood under the folded state, the space-saving, flat delivery condition. Conventionally, the folding carton is offered for sale in flat, unfolded state or delivered to the customer.

Yet another condition of the area blank is a "filling state". The area blank can be brought by a simple Aufstellbewegung for example, a packing staff of a mail-order company, quickly from the folded state in the Befüllzustand to fill the carton, for example, with a commodity from above. In this case, a substantially cuboidal packaging can be provided by a partial setting up of the surface blank, which is preferably open at the top and can be filled.

Another state of the area blank is the established state. In the erected state of the area blank forms a substantially cuboidal packaging, which is closed on all sides. The various states of the area blank are described in more detail below.

In the deployed state, the first side panel with the fourth side panel, the first bottom panel with the second bottom panel, and the first top panel with the second top panel are preferably hingedly connected by at least one tab. Thus, for example, on one outer edge of the first ceiling folding surface, an outer edge of the first side wall surface and an outer edge of the first floor folding surface, in each case a tab can be formed which respectively corresponds to a section of the second top wall surface, a section of the fourth side wall surface and a section of the second bottom wall surface, for example by Gluing can be articulated. However, it may also be contemplated that the above articulated connection may be provided by means of riveting, stapling, crimping, stamping, sewing or other conventionally used connection methods.

Conversely, it can also be provided that an outer edge of the second top panel, an outer edge of the fourth side panel and an outer edge of the second bottom panel have at least one tab or one or more tabs. Thus, the second ceiling panel with the first Deckenfaltfläche, the fourth side wall surface with the first side wall surface and the second bottom wall surface with the first bottom folding surface are hinged together or glued. However, it can also be provided that in each case either one of the first ceiling folding surface or the second top wall surface, one of the first side wall surface or the fourth side wall surface and one of the first bottom folding surface or the second bottom wall surface have a tab or adhesive tab, for example by gluing the respective tab to provide a hinged connection with a portion of the corresponding surface.

Advantageously, the area blank in a folded state at most three layers of packaging material. This has the advantage that the folding cartons in the folded state have only a small amount, namely only three layers of packaging material. In particular, this property is advantageous for shipping the folding cartons in a folded state, since a plurality of folding cartons can be sent stacked on each other in the folded state.

The folding carton is preferably produced from cardboard, in particular corrugated cardboard. This choice of material leads to a folding carton with relatively low weight and relatively high stability. However, it is also possible to form the folding carton of other materials, such as plastic.

Another advantage is that a number of folding cartons can be stored on top of each other or side by side. Since each carton has a maximum of only three layers of packaging material, so a large variety of folding cartons can be stored in a very small space. For example, when a large number of folding cartons are stacked in the folded state, the stack is substantially lower in height and therefore much sturdier than a stack of conventional folding cartons, which often have more than three layers of packaging material in an unfolded state.

Advantageously, each of the first and second bottom folding surface and each of the first and second ceiling folding surface of the surface blank may each have a substantially trapezoidal main portion, a first folding portion and a second folding portion. In other words, the first bottom folding surface, the second bottom folding surface, the first ceiling folding surface and the second ceiling folding surface may be divided into three sections, wherein preferably a middle section may be a trapezoidal section and correspondingly the two surface sections adjoining the legs of the central trapezoidal section substantially can be triangular fold sections. The three sections are preferably delimited by lines. The lines can for example be produced or provided in the production of the area blank by cutting and / or by grooves and / or by punching and / or by buckling and / or by scribing and / or by perforation. The three sections, the main section and two folding sections, can pivot in relation to one another during the installation of the folded folding carton along the lines, so that the respective sections are displaced into desired positions by a specific hand movement. Thus, a pressure which is exerted during a positioning by the specific hand movement on the folded folding carton, preferably for kinking or pivoting between the individual sections of the first Deckenfaltfläche and / or the second Deckenfaltfläche and / or the first Bodenfaltfläche and / or the second bottom fold surface along the above lines between the sections. In this case, the outer folding sections preferably pivot toward a same direction with respect to the central trapezoidal main section.

The fold lines or the legs of the trapezoidal main sections in this case preferably extend from a corner of the respective ceiling folding surface or bottom folding surface towards an outer edge of the ceiling folding surface or bottom wall surface which has no adjacent surface. The respective corners of the ceiling folding surfaces forming the origin of the respective line are each formed by an edge of a top panel and an edge of a side panel. The respective corners of the bottom folding surfaces forming the origin of the lines are each formed by an edge of a bottom wall surface and an edge of a side wall surface.

Preferably, the lines of the Deckenfaltflächen and Bodenfaltflächen lie on the respective bisector of the above corners. In other words, the angle between the respective side wall surface and the corresponding line may be, for example, 45 degrees. However, it can also be provided that the angles between the side wall surface and the lines each have an angle of preferably 30 degrees, 35 degrees, 40 degrees, 50 degrees or 60 degrees.

In particular, the angles between an edge of the respective side wall surface and the two lines of a Deckenfaltfläche or a Bodenfaltfläche also be different in size.

In a filling state of the folding box, d. H. in the state in which the folding carton can be filled from above, the outer folding portions of the first and second bottom folding surfaces are pivoted substantially 180 degrees, so that the outer surfaces of the respective outer folding portions are the outer surface of the respective trapezoidal main portion of the respective first and touch the second floor folding surface. With the "outer surfaces" of the outer folding sections and the "outer surface" of the trapezoidal main section, here are meant the surfaces which are respectively directed outwardly in the folded state of the folding carton.

In an established condition, d. H. in the state of the folding carton in which the folding carton is closed and constitutes a substantially parallelepiped body, the outer folding portions of the first and second ceiling folding faces are substantially rotated by 180 degrees, so that the outer surfaces of the respective outer folding portions are the outer surface of the folding carton touching respective trapezoidal main portion of the respective first and second Deckenfaltfläche. By analogy with the "outer surfaces" of the outer folding sections and with the "outer surface" of the trapezoidal main section, the surfaces are meant, which are respectively directed outwardly in the folded state of the folding carton.

A significant advantage of the above-described first and second Deckenfaltflächen and the first and second Bodenfaltflächen is that by the pivoting of the outer folding sections on the respective central trapezoidal main sections, a particularly good theft protection is provided.

In the following, the anti-theft protection is explained in greater detail on the basis of the first ceiling folding surface.

In an erected state of the folding carton, the trapezoidal main portion of the first ceiling folding surface is pivoted substantially 90 degrees with respect to the four side wall surfaces. In this case, the outer surface of the trapezoidal main section substantially to the outside, d. H. not in the interior of the substantially cuboid, erected folding carton. The outer surface of the trapezoidal main portion of the first Deckenfaltfläche lies substantially parallel to the first top wall surface and the second top panel and is superimposed by these.

The multi-layered ceiling side or bottom side of the folding carton designed in this way increases the stability of the folding carton with respect to a ballast. Thus, a plurality of folding cartons can be stacked on top of each other, without a content, such as a fragile goods, must bear the surcharge. Due to the multi-layered ceiling or the multi-layered floor, the contents of the filled and erected folding box are also better protected against impact from the outside. Therefore, a folding carton according to the present invention is also very stable and has a high protection for the contents of the folding carton.

The outer folding portions of the first ceiling folding surface are also pivoted in an erected state of the folding carton with respect to the four side wall surfaces by substantially 90 degrees. The outer surfaces of the outer folding portions of the first Deckenfaltfläche show in the erected state in the direction of the interior of the cuboid folding carton and thereby touch the outer side of the central trapezoidal main portion of the first Deckenfaltfläche.

In addition, in the closed state, the first Deckenfaltfläche of at least the first top wall surface is preferably completely and at least partially superimposed by the second top wall surface, wherein an inner side of the first Deckenfaltfläche is connected to the outside of the second top wall, so that there is no opening through which, for example a thief can reach into the interior of the erected folding carton or can grab. Although there may be a slit or slot-shaped opening between the outer surface of the trapezoidal main portion and the outer surfaces of the folding portions of the ceiling folding surface contacting the outer surface of the trapezoidal main portion. However, the slot narrows increasingly in a direction toward the outer edge of the trapezoidal main portion, meaning the outer edge which has no adjacent surface. Thus, in the present invention, as compared to conventional folding cartons, it is difficult or impossible to grasp from outside into the closed folding carton and to remove an article located in the folding carton. Therefore, a folding carton according to the present invention also has an increased theft protection.

A first portion of an inside surface of the first bottom folding surface is connected to a second portion of an inside surface of the first bottom wall surface, and a third portion of an inside surface of the second bottom folding surface is connected to a fourth portion of an inside surface of the first bottom wall surface. In other words, in an expanded state, an inner first portion of the first bottom folding surface is connected to an inner second portion of the first bottom wall surface. At the same time, an inner third portion of the second bottom folding surface is connected to a fourth portion of the second bottom folding surface.

Analogously, however, it can also be provided that an inner portion of the first bottom folding surface is connected to an inner portion of the second bottom folding surface and at the same time an inner portion of the second bottom folding surface is connected to an inner portion of the first bottom wall surface.

Preferably, the inner first portion of the first bottom folding surface may be bonded to the inner second portion of the first bottom panel preferably by gluing. In other words, the first second folding portion of the first bottom folding surface may correspond to the first portion. At the same time, the inner third portion of the second bottom folding surface may be connected to the fourth portion of the second bottom folding surface, preferably by gluing. In other words, the second folding portion of the second bottom folding surface may correspond to the third portion. However, it may also be contemplated that the connections described above may be provided by riveting, stapling, crimping, stamping, sewing or other conventionally used connection methods.

By "inner" or "inner sides / areas / sections" is meant the surfaces which are substantially inwardly oriented in a folded state of the folding carton.

Advantageously, the inner first portion of the first bottom folding surface, which may correspond to the folding portion immediately adjacent to the first bottom wall surface of the first bottom folding surface, may be connected to the inner first portion of the first bottom wall surface.

Advantageously, the inner third portion of the second bottom folding surface, which may correspond to the folding portion immediately adjacent to the second bottom wall surface of the second bottom folding surface, may be connected to the inner fourth portion of the second bottom wall surface.

By means of the connections described above between the two bottom wall surfaces and the two bottom folding surfaces creates a desired bias. This bias allows the user by a certain hand movement, the two bottom wall surfaces and the two Bodenfaltflächen to relocate or pivot in a desired positions, so that the folding carton is in a filling state and can be filled from above. Thus, a pressure exerted on the unfolded folding carton during deployment of the folding carton by the specific hand movement, preferably for bending or pivoting between the individual sections, the first bottom folding surface and / or the second bottom folding surface, along the lines described above between the sections. In this case, even a slight pressure in the specific hand movement is sufficient to achieve a collapse of the bottom folding surfaces and the bottom wall surfaces. A low pressure is already sufficient to activate the semi-automatic closing of the bottom of the folding carton. Thus, with as little effort and with only a hand movement of the folding carton can be partially set up to a Befüllzustand. Thus, the folding cartons can be brought quickly and therefore time-saving in a Befüllzustand.

Advantageously, the first folding section of the first floor folding surface may have an additional folding line. Here, folding section is referred to as the first folding section which is disposed on the trapezoidal main section with respect to the central trapezoidal main section on the opposite side.

The fold line can be provided for example by means of cutting and / or by grooves and / or by punching and / or by buckling and / or by scribing and / or by perforating the packaging material. Advantageously, the fold line may be the bisecting line between the line extending between the first side panel and the second bottom panel, and the second bottom panel, and defining the first folder section from the central trapezoidal main section. Preferably, the fold line between the trapezoidal main portion and the adhesive flap or the fourth side wall surface of the bisector correspond. Thus, the angle between the fold line and the second bottom panel may be about 22.5 degrees.

An advantage of the folding line is that during the positioning of the folding carton, which among other things, the bottom semi-automatic is triggered and the folding carton is brought into a filling state, the fold line can prevent unwanted tension. Otherwise, the unwanted tension could lead to buckling of one of the first and / or second fold sections of the first and second bottom fold surfaces. Another advantage of the fold line is that the setup process runs smoother, as a disadvantageous or undesirable voltage is reduced or avoided.

However, it can also be provided that a plurality of fold lines are provided on the first bottom folding surface between the trapezoidal main portion and the adhesive flap or the fourth side wall surface. A large number of fold lines makes it easier to unroll the first floor folding surface.

Advantageously, the first top panel and / or the first bottom panel and / or the second top panel and / or the second bottom panel may comprise an adhesive strip. Preferably, an adhesive strip is located on the outer edge of the inner surface of the first bottom wall surface. Here, by the inner surface of the first bottom wall surface is meant the surface which, in an erected state of the folding carton, is directed towards the interior of the cuboid folding carton and preferably overlies the second bottom wall surface. The outer edge of the first bottom wall surface is the edge that is opposite to the edge that defines the first bottom wall surface of the second side wall surface.

However, it can also be provided that preferably an adhesive strip is attached to the outer edge of the outer surface of the second bottom wall surface. Here, the surface of the second bottom wall surface is called outer surface, which is directed in an erected state of the folding carton to the outside, ie in a direction away from the interior of the cuboid folding carton. The outer edge of the second bottom wall surface is the surface that is opposite to the edge that defines the second bottom wall surface of the fourth side wall surface.

Further, an adhesive strip may preferably be attached to the outer edge of the inner surface of the first Ceiling panel be attached. Here, with the inner surface of the first top panel, the surface is meant, which is directed in an erected state of the folding cartons towards the interior of the cuboid folding carton and preferably superimposed on the second top panel. The outer edge of the first top panel is the edge that is opposite the edge that defines the first top panel from the second side panel.

However, it may also be provided that an adhesive strip is preferably attached to the outer edge of the outer surface of the second top panel. Here, the surface of the second top panel is referred to as the outside surface facing outward in an erected condition of the carton, i. H. in a direction away from the interior of the cuboid folding carton. The outer edge of the second top panel is the area opposite the edge which bounds the second top panel from the fourth side panel.

The adhesive strip may be covered in the folded state with a protection, for example with a tear strip to prevent unwanted premature bonding of the adhesive strip. The peel strip on the first bottom panel and on the second bottom panel, respectively, may be removed by peeling off as soon as it is desired to bring the folding carton from the unfolded state to a fill state. The adhesive strip bonds the first bottom wall surface to the second bottom wall surface. By gluing the first bottom wall surface with the second bottom wall surface of the folding carton bottom is finally closed and can be filled from above.

Instead of an adhesive strip, an adhesive section of any conceivable shape can also be used. Also, a plurality of adhesive portions may be attached. The adhesive strips can also be other fastening means, for example rivets, Velcro fasteners or magnetic type fasteners.

Advantageously, the first top wall surface and / or the first bottom wall surface have at least one tear line or a tear perforation, which serves to open the folding carton when it is in the erected or verschossen state. For example, the first top panel along the line can be easily torn open to open the erected folding carton from above.

Preferably, the top panel may have two lines that are parallel to one another and preferably parallel to the outside edge of the top panel. More preferably, the two lines lie in a region between the inner edge of the top panel and the adhesive strip. With inner edge of the top wall panel here is the edge that defines the first top panel of the second side wall surface. The two lines may preferably be produced by means of cutting and / or by grooves and / or by punching and / or by kinking and / or by scribing and / or by perforation.

Advantageously, the first fold section of the first floor fold surface may be convexly rounded toward an outer edge and the second fold section of the first floor fold surface rounded concisely to an outer edge corresponding to the outer edge of the first fold section. Thus, jamming of the first folding portion with the inner surface of the first bottom wall surface can be avoided during the erection of the folding box in a filling state. A further advantage is that the orientation of the entire bottom of the folding carton is guided by the mutually approximately precisely concave or convex outer edges of the respective first and second folding portion of the first bottom folding surface and thereby an improved parallelepiped filling state can be provided.

The object of the present invention will be described by way of example with reference to a preferred embodiment.
