Definitions

  • the invention relates to a soft pack for cigarettes, in particular a soft cup pack, with a cup-shaped container formed from a blank of foldable packaging material for receiving a group of cigarettes.
  • Soft packs for cigarettes are primarily known as soft cup packs. With this type of pack, a group of cigarettes is completely encased in an inner blank made of tin foil or paper. A cigarette block formed in this way sits in the cup-shaped container which is open at the top. This usually consists of paper, but can also be formed from a multi-layer film, if necessary.
  • a disadvantage of such soft packs, especially soft cup packs, is the lack of dimensional stability. Especially after a part of the cigarettes has been removed, the outer shape of the soft cup packs becomes unsightly, since the shape-stabilizing effect is no longer provided by the pack contents.
  • the invention is based on the object of designing soft packs for cigarettes, in particular soft cup packs, in such a way that they have increased dimensional stability while maintaining the external appearance and functionality.
  • the soft pack or the cup-shaped container according to the invention is characterized in that the blank is multilayered, in particular in two layers, at least in the region of a bottom wall of the soft pack or the cup-shaped container.
  • the packaging material itself is therefore provided with a stiffening which increases the dimensional stability, in some cases by forming the blank in two or more layers.
  • An embodiment is particularly advantageous in which an appropriately dimensioned blank for the soft packaging or for the cup container has two or more layers by folding in a partial area.
  • the blank is given a strip-shaped reinforcement, which causes a local stiffening of the pack during the manufacture of the soft pack or the container.
  • the reinforcement can also extend beyond the bottom wall in the area of adjacent packing walls.
  • the soft pack or the cup-shaped container can be provided with reinforcements in several areas by double or multi-layered design of the blank, in particular in the area of the bottom wall on the one hand and in the area of an upper edge on the other.
  • the procedure according to the invention is such that a continuous material web for the blanks is provided with a continuous reinforcement strip, which is produced in particular by folding over or by Z-shaped folding of the material web.
  • the blanks are separated from this material web with the finished reinforcement.
  • FIGS. 1 to 9 are typical soft cup packs made up of several or two blanks. 11 to 14 show details of a soft pack made from only a blank of the packaging material.
  • a typical soft-cup pack consists of an outer, cup-shaped container 10 and a cigarette group 31 encased in an inner blank 11 to form a cuboid-shaped cigarette block 12 as the pack content.
  • the cigarette block 12 protrudes slightly from the top of the container 10, that is to say on the open side.
  • a band 13 is usually attached, which extends across an end wall 14 of the cigarette block 12 into the area of an adjacent front wall 15 and rear wall 16 of the container 10.
  • the inner blank 11 completely surrounds the cigarette group 31.
  • the inner blank 11 is designed such that the end wall 14 of the cigarette block 12 is formed from folding flaps, namely as an envelope fold.
  • the inner blank 11 is made of paper or tin foil
  • the cup-shaped container 10 consists of a one-piece cup blank. This defines the large front wall 15 and the corresponding rear wall 16, narrow, upright side walls 18, 19 and a bottom wall 20 formed by folding.
  • material reinforcement is only provided in the area of the bottom wall 20 itself.
  • All the folding tabs forming the bottom wall 20, namely trapezoidal, partially overlapping longitudinal tabs 23 and 24, and corner tabs 25, 26 adjoining the narrow side walls 18, 19 consist of two layers or two walls of the cup blank 21, in particular of (thicker) paper .
  • the bottom wall 20 thus has a significantly higher rigidity than with a single-layer design.
  • the cup-shaped containers 10 are made from rectangular cup blanks 21, 22 which can be separated from a continuous material web 27, 28.
  • An edge strip 29, 30 of the material web 27, 28 running in the longitudinal direction is used to produce the bottom wall 20 of the separated cup blanks 21, 22.
  • the material reinforcement is already produced on the material web 27, 28. For this purpose, this has a larger initial width than that of the cup blanks 21, 22.
  • the edge strip 29, 30 running in the longitudinal direction of the material web 27, 28 is folded over until it lies against the inside of the material web.
  • the cup blank 21, 22 removed from the material web 27, 28 thus formed is immediately prepared for the folding process.
  • the material reinforcement namely the edge strips 29, 30, can be connected to the remaining part of the cup blank 21, 22 by preferably full-surface gluing. This results in additional rigidity.
  • the edge strips 29, 30 can also be fixed by thermal sealing of a plastic layer.
  • the edge strip 29 corresponds in terms of width to a strip of the material web 27 for the production of the bottom wall 20.
  • the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 8 and 9 relates to the production of cup blanks 21, 22 for 4 and 5.
  • the edge strip 30 here has a greater width and extends into the region of the adjacent upright packaging walls, forming a reinforcement strip 32 in the region of the same.
  • the inner blank 11 in the area of the bottom wall 20 can additionally or alternatively also be used be designed in two or more layers.
  • the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 11 to 14 shows details of a modified soft cup pack made from a single blank 17 made of paper, film or other thin packaging material.
  • the bottom wall 20 of this packaging is designed in the same way as that of the exemplary embodiment in FIGS. 4 and 5.
  • the edge strip 30 of the blank 17 is dimensioned in the area of the bottom wall 20 in such a way that reinforcement strips as edge areas of the edge strip 30 on the inside of Front wall 15, rear wall 16 and side walls 18, 19 extend.
  • an upper, front-side region of the blank 17 is also provided with a reinforcement 33 running all around.
  • This is produced here by the multilayer design of the blank 17, namely by a Z-shaped fold - Z fold 34.
  • Folding legs of the Z-fold 34 lie on the inside of the blank 17. This creates an all-round, upper, outer folding edge 35.
  • Folding flaps 37, 38 adjoin an inner folding leg 36 of the Z-fold 34 in the region of the end wall 14.
  • the folding leg 34 protrudes slightly beyond the folding edge 35. This results in an externally exposed viewing strip 39 of the folding leg 36.
  • the viewing strip 39 and the subsequent folding tabs 37, 38 are expediently set apart from the blank 17 in terms of color or with respect to other surface configurations.
  • viewing strips 39 and folding tabs 37, 38 can be silver-colored, so that the impression arises that the cigarette group 31 is covered by a separate inner blank, as in the exemplary embodiments according to FIGS. 1 to 9.
  • a material web 40 for producing blanks 17 for packaging according to FIG. 10 has two strip-shaped material reinforcements running in the longitudinal direction of the material web 40, namely folds. These are on the one hand around the edge strip 30 and on the other hand around the finished, continuous Z-fold 34.
  • the design of the packaging with a reinforcement on the upper front edge of the container 10, in particular by means of a Z-fold 34, can also be used in the embodiments according to FIGS. 1 to 9, that is to say with an additional inner covering made of an inner blank 11.
