Samme1Verpackung for packing containers of goods or like that

The invention relates to a collective packaging with a possibility of use as a sales package for goods containers or the like, with an upper part, which is the top surface and surrounds side surfaces of the goods container or the like, and a package base, made of cardboard, corrugated cardboard or like that.

Collective packaging is used to protect and hold together containers of goods, for example from tin cans, boxes or the like, during transport. For reasons of rationalization it has become naturalized, in particular in self-service shops the aforementioned goods directly from the collective packaging in which they are delivered, to sell or offer them in bulk packaging,

this, of course, to enable the customer to view the goods and, in particular, to access them, must be torn open or cut open. The use of collective packaging, which can also be found in the above described in the manner described as shop packaging, enables self-service shops in the "Filling" workspace or the like, with goods being refilled in empty spaces, performance increases of 300 to 400%. Large structures with sales packs are also very time-saving compared to the traditional shelf structure moreover, using combined bulk and sales packs, can be produced in a much more stable manner than with free stacking of single packs. Also the stacking of unsold goods and the return transport to the warehouse are associated with noticeably less work and costs.

The previously known collective packaging usually consists of rectangular boxes closed on six sides, by cutting open with a cardboard knife or by tearing open longitudinally marked perforations or can finally be transferred into the desired sales package by tearing off tear strips. Falling over or moving the individual packs on the sales shelf is caused by the remains of the carton side walls prevented. However, the perforations of the known collective packaging of the type described are often very difficult to tear open, so that the dealer usually uses the box knife to cut the box more quickly, but with the inside Goods, i.e. the individual packages, can often be damaged. The easier-to-use tear strips are expensive to manufacture and install and are therefore not widely used. Another The disadvantage of the known collective packaging is that

due to the usual gluing of the flaps on the six-sided closed boxes, it is indeed torsion-resistant Sainmel packaging arise that can be easily transported, but relatively high packaging material costs arise. The boxes themselves deliver very bulky waste material if they are separated or cut open at the place of use, because they are difficult to fold because of the glued tabs. Because the cardboard boxes at the well-known Store bulk packaging also usually sits tightly around the goods, the customer has difficulties getting the first one Packs from the separated ones serving as sales packagings Take out cardboard boxes.

The invention is based on the object of creating a collective packaging of the type mentioned at the outset, which has a cheaper packaging than with the previously known six-sided closed cardboard boxes and quick handling ensures and supplies waste that is easy to dispose of, with both reliable transport and good manageability as well as good security against falling over of the goods or individual packages during transport as well should be guaranteed when stacking in the self-service shop or the like, but in particular the It should be possible to use the pack itself as a visually appealing display.

According to the invention, this object is achieved by collecting packaging solved of the type mentioned, which is characterized in that the package base is part of one of it and a tray-like bottom part which is formed on a circumferential circumferential edge, the upstanding circumferential edge of which is the vertical one Circumferential area of the goods container in their lower Tightly encloses the area; and that the upper part is designed as a component which is separate from the package base, which

only the top surface and two opposite vertical side surfaces of the goods container
surrounds, is clamped with its ends between the relevant side surfaces of the goods container and the peripheral edge of the bottom part and along its longitudinal edges parallel to the exposed side surfaces of the goods container has a display-like setting up of the upper part enabling stiffening devices.

Particularly preferred embodiments of the invention emerge from the subclaims. An embodiment in which it is provided that
the stiffeners from at a distance from the
respective upper part longitudinal edges arranged predetermined kink lines, along which lateral flange parts of the upper part at an angle of substantially 90 °
bendable and adjacent to the bottom part in their
lower area between the peripheral edge of the bottom part and the goods container can be clamped.

Since the collective packaging according to the invention has only three wall sections in its upper part, namely the cover part
as well as the two side parts, is first of all one
Considerable material savings are given compared to the previously usual type of packaging, in which the cardboard boxes with flap gluing compared to the collecting packaging according to the invention result in up to 40% higher packaging material costs, because a lot of material is wasted in the punching of the known flap blanks. The smooth tray bottom of the bottom part forms a good transport option in the case of the collective packaging according to the invention, since no tabs protrude and the sharply cut, vertically protruding peripheral edge provides greater stacking stability during transport than

with normal cardboard boxes. It is particularly advantageous that the collective packaging according to the invention as a result the tight interference fit of the peripheral edge of the bottom part Can be handled and stacked well, as long as pressure forces acting essentially horizontally on the peripheral edge or exerted on the side parts of the upper part, while at the place of use the upper part can be pulled off slightly is possible through vertically applied tensile forces.

But it is crucial for the advantages that the invention Collective packaging means that the upper part itself is excellent as a display wall at the point of sale can be used. For this, it is only necessary, after pulling out at least one of its upper part To erect side parts from the circumferential edge of the bottom part, using the stiffening devices, whereupon a sales presentation for the customer, for example provided on the inside of the upper part becomes visible. If the stiffening devices are the same as in a preferred embodiment of the invention provided in the manner already set out to create desired folding lines which are parallel to those left free by the upper part Side surfaces of the goods container run, so the erection of the upper part can be done in the simplest way, that the cover part and the two side parts of the upper part, which are related, first of all into one be folded in a substantially flat shape, whereupon the flange parts to the side of the intended folding lines essentially bent by about 90 ° relative to the plane of the rest of the upper part and then in its lower area between the container and the peripheral edge of the bottom part are clamped. This will secure the protruding flanges the upright upper part against twisting, so that a

visually favorable sales presentation is possible.

Further features and advantages of the invention emerge from the following description, in which an exemplary embodiment is shown in detail on the basis of the schematic drawing is explained. It shows:

Fig. 1 by means of a collective packaging according to the invention packaged goods container in perspective view;

FIG. 2 shows the collective packaging of FIG. 1 in the transport state, also seen in perspective, wherein the top part is pulled out of the bottom part; and

FIG. 3 shows the collective packaging from FIG. 2, with the goods container shown schematically in accordance with FIG Fig. 1, in the presentation position.

As the drawing shows, the inventive Collective packaging for packaging a container 10, which, for example, consists of a large number of rectangular individual boxes or the like, an upper part 14, which in the transport state of the collective packaging, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 can be seen, is bent in such a way along two opposite upper edges of the container that the thereby vertically arranged opposite side parts of the upper part 14 to the lower edge of the goods container range, while the top surface is covered by the top part of the upper part 14 connecting the two side parts. Furthermore, the collective packaging in the manner shown in the drawing has a bottom part 20, which consists of a Pack bottom 2 2 and a circumferential peripheral edge 24 protruding therefrom. Finally leaves the drawing recognize that the upper part 14 runs parallel to the side surfaces of the container 10 which remain free

Longitudinal edges are provided with predetermined folding lines 26, which form lateral flange parts 28, as shown in FIG. 3, if necessary, relative to the plane of the smoothly folded upper part 14 can be bent.

For packing a container 10 by means of the inventive Collective packaging is done in such a way that first the lower area of the goods container in the from Fig. 1 apparent manner is tightly surrounded by the peripheral edge of the bottom part 20. Then in the manner also apparent from Fig. 1 and 2, the upper part 14 folded over the container 10, the ends of the upper part 14 at the lower edge of the side surfaces to be covered of the container 10 between the peripheral edge 24 and the container 10 are clamped. The on this Way finished packaging, as shown in Fig. 1 or 2, can be easily transported, with it is ensured that when applying lateral pressure forces on the side parts of the upper part 14 or on the Bottom part 20 even the collective packaging does not fall apart.

At the place of use, the upper part 14 is then shown in the form shown in FIG. erected in a visible manner, with the flange parts 28 bent using the intended folding lines 26 and then between the peripheral edge 24 and the goods container be clamped. The upper part then reliably remains in the position shown in FIG. 3, with one on his Inside the intended sales presentation, inscription or the like is clearly recognizable to the viewer.
