The invention relates to the packaging of goods and in particular containers or covers (and blanks for these) for holding goods, such Containers or casings in one of their manufacturing states, a container or casing cutting phase have, such that the erection from the blank form results in the container or envelope.

The containers or envelopes apparatus of the present invention are intended for the reception of any of an endless number of articles, "one’s goods Represent types that are normally displayed and sold over the counter in department stores or stores will. Such goods can, for example, food, clothes, sweets, tobacco and whisk supplies, Metal goods, cosmetics, stationery and office items such as writing utensils and many others, different

7117648iB.t2.7i

be those articles that do not fall under this general classification.

The use of containers and envelopes made entirely of cardboard is known and customary; however, since items are displayed on counters, designs have been proposed by which the contents of a container or envelope can be displayed without removing them from the container or "envelope.

In such a design, a two-part container is provided, which has a Gcunäkör-per for the Receipt of the packaged goods or the articles and a transparent cover made of plastic such as 3Iyvinylchloride, Cellulose acetate or polystyrene, which is used to complete the packaging can be arranged on the main body for the hold of its content, so that the content through the Material of the lid can be seen. This embodiment is relatively expensive and yields in addition, difficulties in manufacturing the packaging which essentially make up this embodiment make unsuitable for erecting and filling by automatic machines.

In another embodiment, the contrary used to cover containers, is a card

7117648-.i6.ii7i

• *

clay blank made of cardboard with a window which is provided in a field or extends over several fields of the blank, which is however located within the edge of the cardboard blank; this window is covered with a flexible sheet of clear plastic material, v.'elehes along its edge against. the inner surface of the cardboard blank is glued. ^. When these containers are erected and filled,

the contents are at least partially visible through the plastic sheet covering the window opening. There are many different forms of such containers, but all of them suffer from the disadvantage that they are quite expensive because a window must be provided in the cardboard cut and because in addition a lamination process is required to attach the plastic sheet to the cardboard blank.

The invention has for its object to provide a container or an envelope for the reception of goods, such ₅ that the goods in the container

0 / . · Öder de ** shell can be seen and which or

which at least in some embodiments are cheaper is or are in manufacture than the described embodiments.

According to the invention, a cover or a container for receiving goods has a flat cardboard part and a transparent flat plastic

711764816.1271

part , which are connected to one another in an assembled state so that they form a composite blank, the edge of which is formed partly by the cardboard edge and partly by the edge of the plastic part, the composite blank having fold lines so that the composite blank to form the Sheath or the container can be folded.

As a result, it is not necessary for the cardboard part to have a window opening, since the plastic part through which the goods in the casing or the container can be seen forms part of the assembled blank and is folded accordingly.

Is the composite blank to form a Sheath provided, the plastic part preferably extends over the entire length of the sheath, wherein it is attached to the cardboard part along two seams which extend the length of the envelope. The shell can have any suitable cross-section, for example rectangular, square, polygonal or triangular cross-section, the cardboard part and the plastic part correspondingly are folded. The ends of the cover can be connected by connecting links made of cardboard or plastic material be closed, which can be arranged with a friction fit in the shell ends or which can even be secured in their position, so

7117648iiB.i2.7i

. that the cover must be torn open in order to get to the contents. The sheath can even be used for the support of a tray which • · receives the packaged goods. ·

If the assembled blank is intended for a container, the blank preferably has. Pelder on, soften the container walls and one

Form the container bottom with or without a top wall. The top can be designed as a cover and be formed by suitable folding of the plastic part through this. Is the container as a flat elongated box, the end walls are preferably formed by Sinsteckklappen,

which by folding lines in the plastic part or in the I
r cardboard part can be formed.

In a preferred embodiment, the cardboard part forms the bottom, the front and rear walls . and male end walls of the container during the Plastic part forms the top of the container and on the upper edges of the "front and rear walls" of the container is secured so that goods are secured prior to sealing the container ends with the end walls can be introduced into the container through the ends. Tuck-in flaps or labels, which are attached to the end walls and lie under the plastic part when the container is erected, can be provided with suitable prints for decoration or advertising.

711764816.1171

Automatic folding and gluing machines can be used to fold the assembled blank, the blank being handled during this operation as if it were completely formed by a cardboard blank. If the assembled blanks are folded by machine, it is useful if the plastic part has a middle. Cardboard boxes have comparable rigidity. Since I ^ beiiahe practice all composite blanks are machine-folded and glued, this requirement is given in almost all cases. It has been found that stiff, clear polyvinyl chloride film having a thickness in the range of 150 microns (below) is suitable to meet this requirement. Creases in the polyvinyl chloride film can be formed by grooves with a depth of about 50%. However, other plastic films, for example made of polystyrene and cellulose acetate, can also be used and, in addition, the plastic films can be colored while maintaining their transparency in order to achieve special effects with regard to the product or the goods that are in the shell or the container are arranged.

Usually the connections between the KaF clay part and the plastic part formed by adhesives such as glue, although other means, for example High-frequency welding, heat sealing or mechanical connection through tabs and slots possible are.

7117648VG.i2.7i

With envelopes or containers according to the invention, the amount of plastic sheeting can be kept to a minimum, while a large transparent area is given, since a substantial part of the inventive riser can be made of cardboard, which costs significantly less than plastic sheeting and which is conventional Printing machines can be printed.

The assembled blanks can be brought together a cardboard blank "*" (which forms the cardboard part) and a plastic sheet blank (which forms the plastic part) and by gluing and pressing these two blanks together along an overlapping edge or along overlapping edges. The compound Blanks can then be handled as if they were complete cardboard blanks, because of this possibility, high production numbers of cases or containers according to the invention possible are.

The fold lines in the assembled blank can be exclusively in the box or exclusively in the plastic film or in the more common case be provided in both.

According to the invention, a blank is also proposed which has a flat cardboard part and has a transparent flat plastic part,

711764816.12.71

which are connected to one another in such a way that the blank edge is partially formed by the cardboard edge and partially by the edge of the plastic part. ... ". · ■
