Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verbundetikette gemäss dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a composite label according to the preamble of claim 1.

Solche Etiketten werden vorzugsweise an Behältern (Flaschen, Dosen, Kanistern) benützt, insbesondere an solchen für chemische Produkte, wie Pflanzenschutzmittel und dergleichen. Diese Etiketten dienen nicht nur zur Bezeichnung des Produktes und dessen Menge im Behälter sowie allenfalls zur Angabe des Herstellers des Produktes, sondern dienen gewissermassen auch als Umschlag für eine Beilage, die in der Regel eine Gebrauchsanweisung für das Produkt ist und über die Dosierung, Indikationen, Kontraindikationen sowie über übrige gesetzlich vorgeschriebene Angaben über das Produkt Auskunft gibt.Such labels are preferably used on containers (bottles, cans, canisters), in particular on those for chemical products, such as crop protection agents and the like. These labels not only serve to designate the product and its quantity in the container and, if necessary, to indicate the manufacturer of the product, but also to a certain extent serve as an envelope for an insert, which is usually an instruction for the product and about the dosage, indications, Contraindications as well as other statutory information about the product provides information.

Solche Verbundetiketten können aber auch als Adressetiketten zum Versand von unter sich gleichen Gegenständen an eine Mehrzahl unterschiedlicher Adressen Verwendung finden, wobei dann die Beilage beispielsweise durch einen Lieferschein und/oder eine Faktura gebildet sein kann.Such composite labels can also be used as address labels for sending items that are the same among themselves to a plurality of different addresses, in which case the insert can be formed, for example, by a delivery note and / or an invoice.

Solche Verbundetiketten vereinfachen ganz wesentlich die zum Versand bzw. zum Verkauf an den Endkonsumenten erforderlichen Bereitstellungsarbeiten.Such composite labels significantly simplify the preparation work required for shipping or for sale to the end consumer.

Eine Verbundetikette der eingangs genannten Art ist beispielsweise aus der US-PS 4,323,608 bekannt. Bei dieser Etikette ist das auf der einen Seite mit einem selbst klebenden Haftmittel versehene, rechteckige Grundblatt längs zwei gegenüberliegenden Rändern mit dem Deckblatt verklebt. Das Deckblatt weist entlang einem dieser Ränder eine Risslinie auf. Wird diese Risslinie aufgetrennt, lässt sich das Deckblatt wie die Seite eines Buches vom Grundblatt abheben und umschlagen. Die Beilage ist einstückig mit dem Deckblatt ausgebildet und zick-zack-förmig unter dieses eingefaltet, so dass nach dem Auftrennen der Risslinie diese Beilage herausgefaltet werden kann.A composite label of the type mentioned is known, for example, from US Pat. No. 4,323,608. With this label this is on the one hand with yourself Rectangular base sheet provided with adhesive adhesive is glued to the cover sheet along two opposite edges. The cover sheet has a tear line along one of these edges. If this tear line is separated, the cover sheet can be lifted off the base sheet and turned over like the page of a book. The insert is made in one piece with the cover sheet and folded in a zigzag shape under it, so that after the tear line has been separated, this insert can be folded out.

Bei einer weiteren, offenkundig gewordenen Verbundetikette der eingangs genannten Art ist die Beilage durch eine dünne, geheftete Broschüre gebildet, wobei das Deckblatt oder das Grundblatt der Etikette zugleich ein Deckblatt der Broschüre bildet.In the case of another composite label of the type mentioned which has become apparent, the insert is formed by a thin, stapled brochure, the cover sheet or the base sheet of the label simultaneously forming a cover sheet for the brochure.

Da bei diesen bekannten Verbundetiketten das Deckblatt mit dem Grundblatt nur längs zwei sich gegenüberliegender Seiten verklebt ist, ist der Zwischenraum zwischen dem Grundblatt und dem Deckblatt auch bei noch nicht aufgetrennter Risslinie äusseren Einflüssen, wie beispielsweise der Verstaubung oder Spritzwasser, ausgesetzt. Ebenso ist keine Gewähr dafür geboten, dass beim Stapeln, beim Transport oder ganz allgemein beim Manipulieren von Gegenständen mit den bekannten Verbundetiketten, deren Risslinie im Deckblatt nicht ungewollt aufgetrennt und dann die Beilage beschädigt, beispielsweise zerknüllt wird. Ist bei der bekannten Verbundetikette die Risslinie einmal aufgetrennt, ist die nicht ohne Abreissen entnehmbare Beilage noch in vermehrtem Masse den genannten äusseren Einflüssen ausgesetzt und kann nicht mehr hineingelegt werden.Since in these known composite labels the cover sheet is only glued to the base sheet along two opposite sides, the space between the base sheet and the cover sheet is exposed to external influences, such as dust or splash water, even if the tear line has not yet been separated. Likewise, there is no guarantee that when stacking, transporting or, in general, manipulating objects with the known composite labels, the tear line in the cover sheet is not unintentionally broken and the insert is then damaged, for example crumpled up. Once the tear line in the known composite label has been torn open, the insert, which cannot be removed without tearing off, is exposed to an increased extent to the external influences mentioned and can no longer be inserted.

Aus der EP-OS 0 157 484 ist weiter eine Etikette vergleichbarer Art bekannt, die ähnlich wie ein Briefumschlag ausgebildet ist. Die Beilage ist in einer Tasche untergebracht, die durch einen rechteckigen Vorderteil, zwei Seitenklappen und eine Bodenklappe gebildet ist. Die Seitenklappen und die Bodenklappe bestehen mit dem Vorderteil aus einem Stück und sind nach hinten gegen dessen Rückseite umgeklappt. Der Bodenklappe gegenüberliegend ist am Vorderteil eine Abdeckklappe angebracht, welche über eine Risslinie mit dem Vorderteil verbunden ist.From EP-OS 0 157 484 a label of a comparable type is also known, which is designed similar to an envelope. The insert is placed in a pocket, which is formed by a rectangular front part, two side flaps and a bottom flap. The side flaps and the bottom flap are made in one piece with the front part and are folded back towards the back. Opposite the bottom flap, a cover flap is attached to the front part, which is connected to the front part via a tear line.

Die Etikette mit in die Tasche eingelegter Beilage wird mit ihrer Rückseite, d.h. mit den zurückgebogenen Seiten- und Bodenklappen und der Hinterseite der Abdeckklappe, auf einen Behälter oder eine Trägerfolie aufgeklebt. Zum Entnehmen der Beilage aus der Tasche wird die Risslinie aufgetrennt.The label with the insert in the pocket is attached to the back, i.e. with the bent-back side and bottom flaps and the rear of the cover flap, glued to a container or a carrier film. The tear line is separated to remove the insert from the bag.

Diese Etikette erfordert für die Herstellung einen gewissen Aufwand und verlangt ein sorgfältiges Aufkleben entlang eines geschlossenen Klebebereiches, damit die Beilage in der Tasche vor der Einwirkung von äusseren Einflüssen wirksam geschützt ist. Ein solches Aufkleben wird durch die Unebenheiten auf der Rückseite der Etikette, die durch die sich überlappenden Seiten- und Bodenklappen bedingt sind, eher erschwert.This label requires a certain amount of effort for production and requires careful gluing along a closed adhesive area, so that the insert in the pocket is effectively protected against the effects of external influences. Such sticking is made more difficult by the unevenness on the back of the label, which is due to the overlapping side and bottom flaps.

Es ist nun Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Verbundetikette der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, bei der bei einfachem Aufbau ein weitgehender Schutz der Beilage - solange diese nicht benötigt wird - gewährlei stet ist und die im übrigen eine einfache Handhabung der Beilage ermöglicht.It is an object of the present invention to provide a composite label of the type mentioned in the introduction, in which, with a simple structure, extensive protection of the insert - as long as it is not required - is guaranteed is steady and which also allows easy handling of the insert.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch die im Kennzeichen des Anspruches 1 angegebenen Merkmale.This object is achieved by the features specified in the characterizing part of claim 1.

Die entlang des gesamten Umfanges miteinander verbundenen Grund- und Deckblätter bilden eine abgeschlossene Tasche, in der die Beilage vollkommen geschützt und gegen aussen abgekapselt untergebracht ist. Die Beilage kann durch die durch Auftrennen der Risslinie gebildete Oeffnung der Tasche entnommen, aber auch wieder in diese zurückgesteckt werden. Die Herstellung der Verbundetikette ist vergleichsweise einfach. Die Tasche wird bereits bei der Herstellung der Verbundetikette verschlossen und nicht erst beim Anbringen der Etikette auf einem Gegenstand, so dass sich ein allfälliges unsorgfältiges Aufkleben der Verbundetikette nicht nachteilig auf den Schutz der Beilage auswirken kann.The base and cover sheets joined together along the entire circumference form a closed pocket in which the insert is completely protected and encapsulated from the outside. The insert can be removed from the pocket through the opening of the tear line, but can also be put back into it. The production of the composite label is comparatively simple. The bag is already closed during the production of the composite label and not only when the label is attached to an object, so that any careless sticking of the composite label cannot adversely affect the protection of the insert.

Bevorzugte Ausführungsbeispiele der erfindungsgemässen Verbundetikette sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen umschrieben.Preferred exemplary embodiments of the composite label according to the invention are described in the dependent claims.

Nachstehend ist die Erfindung anhand der Zeichnung rein beispielsweise näher beschrieben. Es zeigt:

  • Fig. 1 in schaubildlicher Darstellung zwei auf einem Trägerstreifen für eine Etikettiermaschine befestigte, erfindungsgemässe Verbundetiketten, wobei die rechts dargestellte Etikette geöffnet ist und der darin enthaltende Beipackzettel etwas herausgezogen ist, und
  • Fig. 2 in Draufsicht die drei Hauptbestandteile der Verbundetikette
The invention is described in more detail below purely by way of example with reference to the drawing. It shows:
  • 1 shows a diagrammatic representation of two composite labels according to the invention fastened on a carrier strip for a labeling machine, the label shown on the right being opened and the package insert contained therein being somewhat pulled out, and
  • Fig. 2 in top view the three main components of the composite label

Zu Fig. 1 ist vorab zu bemerken, dass die Dicke der Etikettenbestandteile der deutlicheren Darstellung wegen stark überhöht gezeichnet ist.With regard to FIG. 1, it should be noted in advance that the thickness of the label components has been greatly exaggerated due to the clearer representation.

Die in Fig. 1 dargestellten Verbundetiketten 10 bestehen aus einem Grundblatt 11 und aus einem Deckblatt 12. Das Deckblatt 12 ist praktisch deckungsgleich mit dem Grundblatt 11 und mit diesem längs des ganzen Umfanges verbunden, beispielsweise durch Verklebung oder Heissiegelung. Diese Verbindungsstelle ist in Fig. 1 und in Fig. 2 links mit der Schraffur 13 angedeutet. Das Grundblatt 11 trägt auf der dem Betrachter abgekehrten Rückseite 11a beispielsweise einen selbstklebenden Haftstoff, mit dem in diesem Falle die Etiketten 10 in einem vorbestimmten Abstand voneinander auf einem mit einem Trennmittel imprägnierten Trägerband 14 haften. Das Trägerband 14 kann eine Randperforation aufweisen, die mit den gestrichelten Linien 15 angedeutet ist, was ermöglicht, die Etiketten 10 einer nicht dargestellten Etikettiermaschine zuzuführen, wo sie vom Trägerband 14 abgeschält und auf den zu etikettierenden Gegenstand geklebt werden.The composite labels 10 shown in Fig. 1 consist of a base sheet 11 and a cover sheet 12. The cover sheet 12 is practically congruent with the base sheet 11 and connected to it along the entire circumference, for example by gluing or heat sealing. This connection point is indicated in FIG. 1 and in FIG. 2 on the left with hatching 13. The base sheet 11 carries, for example, a self-adhesive adhesive on the rear side 11a facing away from the viewer, with which in this case the labels 10 adhere to a carrier tape 14 impregnated with a release agent at a predetermined distance from one another. The carrier tape 14 can have an edge perforation, which is indicated by the dashed lines 15, which makes it possible to feed the labels 10 to a labeling machine, not shown, where they are peeled off from the carrier tape 14 and glued to the object to be labeled.

Da das Deckblatt 12 - wie erwähnt - längs seines gesamten Umfanges mit dem Grundblatt 11 verbunden ist, ist zwischen diesen Blättern ein rundum abgeschlossener Zwischenraum wie in einem geschlossenen Briefumschlag vorhanden. In diesen Zwischenraum ist eine Beilage, hier ein gefalteter Beipackzettel 16, praktisch lose eingelegt.Since the cover sheet 12 - as mentioned - is connected to the base sheet 11 along its entire circumference, there is a completely enclosed space between these sheets, as in a closed envelope. In this space is a supplement, here a folded package insert 16, practically loosely inserted.

Im Deckblatt 12 sind in der Nähe seiner oberen Schmalseite 12a zwei parallel zueinander verlaufende, beispielsweise durch eine feine Perforation oder durch zwei einkaschierte Fäden gebildete Risslinien 17, 18 vorhanden, die zwischen sich einen Aufreisslappen 19 einschliessen. Dieser endet in einer Zunge 21, die über den Umriss der Etikette 10 vorsteht.In the cover sheet 12 in the vicinity of its upper narrow side 12a there are two tear lines 17, 18 running parallel to one another, for example formed by a fine perforation or by two laminated threads, which include a tear-open flap 19 between them. This ends in a tongue 21 which protrudes beyond the outline of the label 10.

Ergreift man nun den Aufreisslappen 19 an seiner Zunge 21 und trennt damit die Risslinien 17, 18 auf, wird, wie in Fig. 1 rechts gezeigt, im Deckblatt 12 ein Schlitz 20 frei, durch den der Beipackzettel 16 entnommen und auch wieder hineingelegt werden kann.If one grabs the tear tab 19 on its tongue 21 and thus separates the tear lines 17, 18, a slot 20 is free in the cover sheet 12, as shown in FIG. 1 on the right, through which the instruction leaflet 16 can be removed and also put back in again .

Die Risslinien 17, 18 können sich auch über die ganze Breite des Deckblattes 12 erstrecken, so dass bei dem Auftrennen der Aufreisslappen 19 vollständig entfernt werden kann.The tear lines 17, 18 can also extend over the entire width of the cover sheet 12, so that the tear tabs 19 can be completely removed when the tear tabs are separated.

Das Deckblatt 12 trägt einen Aufdruck, der zur Identifizierung des mit der Etikette 10 zu versehenden Gegenstandes dient. Im vorliegenden Beispiel sind mit A, B ein Produktenamen, mit der Zahl 100 die Menge und mit dem weiteren Schriftfeld 22 weitere Angaben angedeutet.The cover sheet 12 bears a print which serves to identify the object to be provided with the label 10. In the present example, A, B denotes a product name, the number 100 indicates the quantity and the further text field 22 indicates further information.

Vorzugsweise trägt auch das Grundblatt 11 auf seiner dem Deckblatt 12 zugekehrten Seite einen dem Aufdruck auf dem Deckblatt 12 entsprechenden, insbesondere deckungsgleichen Aufdruck, wie in Fig. 2 links gezeigt. Damit bleibt der Informationsgehalt der Etikette 10 auch bei entferntem Lappen 19 intakt.Preferably, the base sheet 11 also carries on its side facing the cover sheet 12 a print corresponding to the print on the cover sheet 12, in particular congruent, as shown on the left in FIG. 2. In order to the information content of the label 10 remains intact even with the flap 19 removed.

Sowohl das Grundblatt 11 als auch das Deckblatt 12 sind vorzugsweise aus einem wasserfesten Material, wie beispielsweise einem nassreissfesten und heissiegelbaren Papier oder aus einer bedruckbaren Kunststoffolie. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass die Etikette 10 in ihrem in Fig. 1 links erscheinenden Zustand einen vollkommenen Schutz für den Beipackzettel 16 bietet und dass ein ungewolltes Auftrennen längs der Risslinien 17, 18 praktisch nicht vorkommt, obwohl die Zunge 21 einen Angriffspunkt für ein allfälliges Hängenbleiben darstellen kann. Both the base sheet 11 and the cover sheet 12 are preferably made of a waterproof material, such as a wet tearproof and heat-sealable paper or a printable plastic film. It has been shown that the label 10, in the state shown on the left in FIG. 1, offers complete protection for the package insert 16 and that an unwanted opening along the tear lines 17, 18 practically does not occur, although the tongue 21 is a point of attack for a possible Can get caught.
