Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Etikett zum Aufkleben oder Aufsie­geln auf einem Gegenstand, wie beispielsweise auf Behältnissen irgendwelcher Art, wie Dosen, Gläsern, Flaschen, Kartonpackun­gen oder dergleichen, oder auf anderen Gegenständen, wie Bü­chern, Heften oder dergleichen.The invention relates to a label for sticking or sealing onto an object, such as for example on containers of any kind, such as cans, glasses, bottles, carton packs or the like, or on other objects, such as books, booklets or the like.

Bekanntermaßen dienen solche Etiketten zur Beschriftung von Be­hältnissen beliebiger Form und Beschaffenheit, um über den In­halt dieser Behältnisse zu informieren. Beispielsweise zeigen solche Etiketten den Handelsnamen oder die Gattungsbezeichnung oder den Namen des Herstellers oder Abfüllers der in dem Behält­nis enthaltenen Ware. Auch können solche Etiketten ein Rezept oder Anwendungsempfehlungen oder genauere Informationen über die Zusammensetzung des Produktes tragen. Bekanntermaßen werden solche Etiketten beispielsweise durch druckaktivierbare oder hitzeaktivierbare Kleber auf den Gegenstand aufgeklebt. Im Fal­le von Kunststoffgegenständen oder kunststoffbeschichteten Ge­genständen können die Etiketten auch aufgesiegelt werden.As is known, such labels are used to label containers of any shape and nature in order to provide information about the contents of these containers. For example, such labels show the trade name or the generic name or the name of the manufacturer or bottler of the goods contained in the container. Such labels can also carry a prescription or recommendations for use or more precise information about the composition of the product. As is known, such labels are glued to the object, for example, by pressure-activatable or heat-activatable adhesives. In the case of plastic objects or plastic-coated objects, the labels can also be sealed.

In bestimmten Fällen kann es erwünscht sein, zusätzlich zu der Etikettenoberfläche weitere bedruckbare Fläche zu haben, ohne zusätzliche Etiketten auf den Gegenstand aufkleben zu müssen, da solche zusätzlichen Etiketten das Aussehen des Gegenstandes beeinträchtigen würden. Solche zusätzliche bedruckbare Fläche kann beispielsweise dazu dienen, zusätzliche Informationen über das Produkt zu geben oder mehrere verschiedene Rezepte zur An­wendung des Produktes zu geben oder eine abtrennbare Rabattmar­ke oder ein ebensolches Los oder Sammelbilder darauf wiederzu­geben. Insbesondere bei Sammelbildern oder Losen oder ähnlichem ist es erwünscht, diese für den Käufer verdeckt zu halten, bis er die Waren gekauft hat und die Verdeckung selbst beseitigen kann.In certain cases, it may be desirable to have additional printable area in addition to the label surface without having to affix additional labels to the article, since such additional labels would impair the appearance of the article. Such additional printable area can be used, for example, to provide additional information about the product or to give several different recipes for using the product or to display a detachable discount stamp or a similar lot or collecting images on it. Especially in the case of collectors' pictures or lots or the like, it is desirable to keep them hidden from the buyer until he has bought the goods and can remove the cover himself.

Die der Erfindung zugrundeliegende Aufgabe bestand somit darin, ein Etikett zum Aufkleben oder Aufsiegeln auf einem Gegenstand zu bekommen, das zusätzlich zu der Etikettenoberfläche weitere bedruckbare Flächen bietet, die für den Verbraucher leicht zu­gänglich und gegebenenfalls abtrennbar sind. Insbesondere soll die zusätzliche bedruckbare Fläche vor dem Zugänglichmachen oder Abtrennen verborgen sein, um ein Überraschungsmoment aus­zulösen.The object underlying the invention was therefore to create a label for sticking or sealing onto an object to get, which in addition to the label surface offers other printable areas that are easily accessible to the consumer and can be separated if necessary. In particular, the additional printable area should be hidden from being made accessible or detached in order to trigger a surprise element.

Das erfindungsgemäße Etikett zum Aufkleben oder Aufsiegeln auf einem Gegenstand ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß es aus wenig­stens drei durch Faltlinien in Reihe miteinander verbundenen Feldern besteht, wobei das dritte Feld in der Reihe planparal­lel auf das zweite Feld umgefaltet und in der Richtung senk­recht zu den Faltlinien schmaler als das zweite Feld ist und das erste Feld in der Reihe planparallel auf das dritte Feld umgefaltet und auf ihm befestigt ist.The label according to the invention for sticking or sealing onto an object is characterized in that it consists of at least three fields connected to one another by fold lines in series, the third field in the row being folded parallel to the second field and narrower in the direction perpendicular to the fold lines than the second field and the first field in the row is folded parallel to the third field and fastened on it.

Die in Reihe aneinander grenzenden Felder werden gewöhnlich im wesentlichen gleiche Form mit Ausnahme einer geringen Ver­kürzung wenigstens des dritten Feldes gegenüber dem zweiten Feld in Richtung senkrecht zu den Faltlinien haben. Die Erfin­dung schließt aber nicht aus, daß die Felder auch unterschied­liche Form besitzen können. Beispielsweise kann das nach dem Aufkleben auf dem Gegenstand außen liegende Feld in Richtung der Faltlinien länger als die darunterliegenden Felder sein, oder umgekehrt können die darunterliegenden Felder länger als das Deckfeld sein und somit als Lasche über letzteres hinaus­ragen. Die Formgebung der Felder kann beliebig sein, wobei die Faltlinien bevorzugt gerade Linien sind, um das Falzen zu er­leichtern. Beispiele von Etikettenformen sind rechteckige oder am oberen und/oder am unteren Ende abgerundete oder spitz zu­laufende oder mehreckige Felder.The panels adjacent to one another will usually have substantially the same shape, with the exception of a slight shortening of at least the third panel compared to the second panel in the direction perpendicular to the fold lines. However, the invention does not rule out that the fields can also have different shapes. For example, the field lying on the outside of the object in the direction of the folding lines can be longer than the fields below it, or vice versa, the fields below can be longer than the cover field and thus protrude above the latter as a flap. The shapes of the fields can be of any type, the fold lines preferably being straight lines in order to facilitate folding. Examples of label shapes are rectangular or rounded at the top and / or at the bottom or tapering or polygonal fields.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Faltung und Ausbildung der Felder hat das Etikett die Form eines Wickelfalzes oder geschichteten Päckchens, das an seinen beiden Seiten entlang den Faltlinien des zweiten Feldes geschlossen ist. Wenn das Etikett in dieser Form auf einen Gegenstand aufgeklebt wird, wie beispielsweise mit dem ersten Feld in der Reihe, das seinerseits auf dem drit­ ten Feld in der Reihe befestigt ist, so liegt in diesem Zustand, wie bei üblichen Etiketten, eine einzige bedruckbare Fläche vor. Durch Aufschneiden entlang wenigstens einer der Faltlinien klappt das Etikett jedoch auf und gibt weitere bedruckbare Flä­chen frei.As a result of the folding and formation of the fields according to the invention, the label has the shape of a folded fold or layered packet which is closed on both sides along the fold lines of the second field. When the label is attached to an object in this form, such as with the first field in the row, which in turn is on the third ten field in the row is attached, so in this state, as with conventional labels, there is a single printable area. By cutting along at least one of the fold lines, however, the label opens and frees up further printable areas.

Da die einzelnen Felder, die gegebenenfalls als Rabattmarken, Sammelbild, Los oder Rezeptvorschlag abgetrennt werden sollen, im ursprünglichen Zustand alle aneinander hängen, besteht auch nicht die Gefahr, daß während des Transportes oder vor dem Ver­kauf des Gegenstandes an den Endverbraucher eines der Felder sich ablöst oder herausfällt oder unbefugt entnommen wird.Since the individual fields, which may need to be separated as discount stamps, collective picture, lot or recipe suggestion, are all linked to one another in their original state, there is also no risk that one of the fields will become detached during transport or before the item is sold to the end user or falls out or is removed without authorization.

Da weiterhin das zwischen dem ersten und zweiten Feld in der Reihe eingefaltete dritte Feld in Richtung senkrecht zu den Faltlinien schmaler als das zweite Feld ist, gibt es durch das Falzen keine Stauchungen, so daß die Felder alle wirklich plan­parallel aufeinander liegen können.Furthermore, since the third field folded between the first and second fields in the row is narrower in the direction perpendicular to the fold lines than the second field, there are no upsets due to the folding, so that the fields can all lie really plane-parallel on one another.

Im allgemeinen werden die erfindungsgemäßen Etiketten mit der Außenseite des ersten Feldes auf dem Gegenstand aufgeklebt, während dieses erste Feld mit seiner Innenseite auf dem dritten Feld befestigt ist. Diese Befestigung kann in üblicher Weise durch Verklebung oder Aufsiegeln erfolgen, wobei diese Befesti­gung vorzugsweise ganzflächig erfolgt. Da nach dem Aufkleben auf den Gegenstand das erste Feld in der Reihe verborgen bleibt, auch wenn das Etikett in sachgemäßer Weise aufgeschnitten wird, kann das erste Feld unbedenklich kleiner als das zweite Feld ausgebildet werden, ohne den optischen Eindruck zu beeinträch­tigen. Dies kann aus fertigungstechnischen oder anderen Gründen erwünscht sein. Selbstverständlich, wenn auch nicht bevorzugt, kann das Etikett auch mit der Außenseite des zweiten Feldes auf dem Gegenstand aufgeklebt oder aufgesiegelt werden.In general, the labels according to the invention are affixed to the object with the outside of the first field, while this first field is affixed with its inside to the third field. This attachment can be carried out in the usual way by gluing or sealing, this attachment preferably taking place over the entire surface. Since the first field in the row remains hidden after being glued to the object, even if the label is cut open properly, the first field can be made smaller than the second field without compromising the visual impression. This may be desirable for manufacturing or other reasons. Of course, although not preferred, the label can also be glued or sealed onto the object with the outside of the second field.

Wenn das erfindungsgemäße Etikett nur aus drei Feldern besteht, stehen zusätzlich zu der im verschlossenen Zustand außen lie­genden Seite des Deckfeldes nach dem Öffnen nur zwei weitere bedruckbare Feldflächen zur Verfügung. Dies kann beispielsweise ausreichen, wenn eines der Felder, das entlang den beiden Falt­linien des zweiten Feldes abgetrennt werden kann, als Los, Ra­battmarke oder Sammelbild dient.If the label according to the invention consists of only three fields, in addition to the outer side of the cover field in the closed state, only two further printable field areas are available after opening. For example are sufficient if one of the fields, which can be separated along the two folding lines of the second field, serves as a lot, discount stamp or collective picture.

In vielen Fällen ist es aber erwünscht, größere bedruckbare Flächen in dem Etikett verborgen zu haben, wie beispielsweise, um mehrere Sammelbilder oder eine Reihe von Anwendungsrezeptu­ren abzudrucken. In diesem Fall schließt sich vorzugsweise an das dritte Feld in der Reihe jeweils über eine Faltlinie wenigstens ein weiteres Feld an, das ebenso wie das erste Feld in der Rei­he in Richtung senkrecht zu den Faltlinien schmaler als das zweite Feld ist und planparallel zwischen das zweite und dritte Feld eingefaltet ist. Wenn hier im Zusammenhang mit verschie­denen Feldern davon die Rede ist, daß sie schmaler als das zweite Feld sein sollen, so ist hiermit jeder beliebige Brei­tenunterschied in Richtung senkrecht zu den Faltlinien gemeint, obwohl im allgemeinen sehr geringe Breitenunterschiede ausrei­chen, einen Materialstau beim Falzen zu vermeiden, wie bei­spielsweise Breitenunterschiede von 1/2 bis 1 mm.In many cases, however, it is desirable to have larger printable areas hidden in the label, such as, for example, in order to print out multiple collecting images or a number of application formulations. In this case, the third field in the row is preferably followed by at least one further field via a folding line, which, like the first field in the row, is narrower than the second field in the direction perpendicular to the folding lines and plane-parallel between the second and third field is folded. If here in connection with different fields it is said that they should be narrower than the second field, this means any width difference in the direction perpendicular to the fold lines, although in general very small width differences are sufficient to avoid material jam during folding such as differences in width from 1/2 to 1 mm.

Bei vielen Ausführungsformen bevorzugt schließen sich an das dritte Feld in der Reihe jeweils über Faltlinien untereinander verbunden mehrere zusätzliche Felder an, wobei die Anzahl die­ser Felder nur durch praktische Anwendung beschränkt ist. Diese sich an das dritte Feld anschließenden Felder können unterein­ander in Form eines Leporellofalzes oder eines Wickelfalzes oder mit einer Kombinationsform beider Falzarten aufeinander gefaltet sein. Das von ihnen gebildete mehrlagige Päckchen wird in jedem Fall zwischen dem dritten und zweiten Feld eingescho­ben, um vor dem Öffnen des Etiketts entlang den Faltlinien des zweiten Feldes eine geschlossene Linie zu haben, so daß ein Herausfallen der übrigen Felder vermieden wird.In many embodiments, the third field in the row is preferably followed by several additional fields connected to one another by fold lines, the number of these fields being limited only by practical application. These fields adjoining the third field can be folded onto one another in the form of a fan fold or a folded fold or with a combination form of both types of fold. The multilayer package formed by them is in any case inserted between the third and second fields in order to have a closed line along the fold lines of the second field before the label is opened, so that the remaining fields are prevented from falling out.

Um die zusätzliche bedruckbare Fläche im Inneren des Etiketts zugänglich zu machen, braucht der Verwender lediglich mit einem Messer oder Brieföffner oder dergleichen eine der Faltlinien des zweiten Feldes aufzuschneiden, so daß das Etikett aufklapp bar ist und die übrigen Felder herausfallen oder herausgefaltet werden können. Danach können diese Felder als Ganzes oder ein­zeln durch Reißen oder Schneiden entlang den Faltlinien abge­trennt werden. Um das Öffnen des Etiketts und das Abtrennen der Felder zu erleichtern, ist es bevorzugt, daß die Faltlinien aus Perforationslinien bestehen. Das Öffnen kann durch Druck gegen die eine perforierte Faltlinie des zweiten Feldes, etwa mit Hilfe eines Brieföffners oder Messerrückens, erfolgen. Das Ab­trennen kann durch einfaches Abreißen entlang den Perforations­linien geschehen.In order to make the additional printable area inside the label accessible, the user only needs to cut open one of the fold lines of the second field with a knife or letter opener or the like, so that the label can be opened and the other fields fall out or are folded out can be. Then these fields can be separated as a whole or individually by tearing or cutting along the fold lines. In order to facilitate the opening of the label and the separation of the fields, it is preferred that the fold lines consist of perforation lines. The opening can be done by pressing against the one perforated fold line of the second field, for example with the help of a letter opener or the back of a knife. The separation can be done by simply tearing along the perforation lines.

Es ist selbstverständlich, daß länglich geformte Felder sowohl entlang ihren langen als auch entlang ihren kurzen Seiten über Faltlinien miteinander verbunden sein können.It goes without saying that elongated fields can be connected to one another by fold lines along their long as well as along their short sides.

Durch die Zeichnung wird die Erfindung weiter erläutert. In dieser bedeutet

  • Figur 1 eine Draufsicht auf einen Zuschnitt eines erfindungsge­mäßen Etiketts vor dem Falzen und Verkleben und
  • Figur 2 eine perspektivische Darstellung eines gefalzten und verklebten Etiketts nach der Erfindung in einer anderen Ausführungsform.
The invention is further explained by the drawing. In this means
  • Figure 1 is a plan view of a blank of a label according to the invention before folding and gluing and
  • Figure 2 is a perspective view of a folded and glued label according to the invention in another embodiment.

Der in Figur 1 abgebildete Zuschnitt besitzt neun Felder, die mit den Buchstaben des Alphabets von a bis i bezeichnet sind. Zwingend sind erfindungsgemäß die Felder a bis c. Die Einzel­felder sind mit dem Bezugszeichen 1, die perforierten Faltli­nien zwischen jeweils zwei Feldern mit dem Bezugszeichen 2 ver­sehen.The blank shown in Figure 1 has nine fields, which are designated with the letters of the alphabet from a to i. According to the invention, fields a to c are mandatory. The individual fields are provided with the reference number 1, the perforated folding lines between two fields with the reference number 2.

Beim Falzen des Zuschnitts werden die Felder d bis i leporello­artig und/oder als Wickelfalz planparallel übereinander gefal­tet. Das so gebildete Päckchen wird dann auf das Feld c und mit diesem auf das Feld b gefaltet, worauf dann das Feld a auf die Hinterseite des obenliegenden Feldes c umgefaltet und auf die­sem vollflächig verklebt wird.When the blank is folded, the fields d to i are folded like a leporello and / or plane-parallel one above the other. The packet formed in this way is then folded onto the field c and with it onto the field b, whereupon the field a is folded over onto the rear side of the field c above and is glued to the entire surface thereof.

In der in Figur 2 dargestellten Ausführungsform besitzt der Übersichtlichkeit halber das Etikett nur drei Felder a, b und c, wobei die Schichtdicken der Felder zur Verdeutlichung über­trieben dargestellt sind.In the embodiment shown in Figure 2, the For the sake of clarity, the label only has three fields a, b and c, the layer thicknesses of the fields being exaggerated for clarity.

Aus Figur 2 ist ersichtlich, daß die Felder a und c schmaler als das Feld b sind. Das Feld c wird zunächst planparallel auf das Feld b umgefaltet, worauf das Feld a auf das Feld c gefal­tet und vollflächig mit ihm verklebt wurde. Die Kleberschicht ist mit 3 bezeichnet.It can be seen from FIG. 2 that fields a and c are narrower than field b. The field c is first folded plane parallel to the field b, whereupon the field a was folded onto the field c and glued to it over the entire area. The adhesive layer is labeled 3.

Figur 2 zeigt deutlich, daß das Etikett mit seinen beiden Längs­seiten verschlossen ist und erst beim Aufschneiden oder Aufrei­ßen einer der Faltlinien 2 sich öffnen läßt. Wenn ein Etikett mit mehr als drei Feldern hergestellt wird, sieht dieses ähn­lich wie jenes in Figur 2 aus, wobei die übrigen Felder als Le­porello- und/oder Wickelfalz zwischen den Feldern b und c lie­gen.Figure 2 clearly shows that the label is closed with its two long sides and can only be opened when one of the fold lines 2 is cut open or torn open. If a label is produced with more than three fields, this looks similar to that in FIG. 2, the remaining fields lying as a fan fold and / or a fold between fields b and c.
