Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verpackung für Papier, wie Geschenk-, Pack-, Schrank- und Bucheinschlagpapier, in Rollenform, wobei das freie Ende der außenliegenden Papierlage der Papierrolle mit ihrer darunterliegenden Papierlage verklebt ist und die Papierrolle mit einer in Papierrollenlängsrichtung verlaufenden Öffnungshilfe versehen ist, die in oder an einer Papierlage angeordnet ist.The invention relates to a packaging for paper, such as gift, packing, cupboard and book wrapping paper, in roll form, the free end of the outer paper layer of the paper roll being glued to its underlying paper layer and the paper roll being provided with an opening aid running in the longitudinal direction of the paper roll, which is arranged in or on a paper layer.

Geschenk-, Pack-, Schrank- und Bucheinschlagpapier werden in Rollenform angeboten. Um das Papier in der Rollenform zu halten, werden die Papierrollen mit einer Banderole aus Papier oder Folie versehen und dann noch zusätzlich in einer Folie verpackt. Als Verpackungsfolie wird in zahlreichen Fällen Schrumpffolie verwendet. Diese Art der Verpackung ist unwirtschaftlich, zumal auch die Verpackung entsorgt werden muß.Gift, packing, cupboard and book wrapping paper are offered in roll form. In order to keep the paper in the roll form, the paper rolls are provided with a banderole made of paper or film and then additionally packed in a film. In many cases, shrink film is used as packaging film. This type of packaging is uneconomical, especially since the packaging must also be disposed of.

Durch die GB-A-704 379 ist eine Verpackung für Papier in Rollenform bekannt, wobei die Papierrolle als Verkaufsverpackung ausgebildet und mit einer in Papierrollenlängsrichtung verlaufenden, in der außenliegenden Papierlage vorgesehenen Öffnungshilfe in Form eines Aufreißbandes bzw. Aufreißfadens versehen ist. Diese Öffnungshilfe ist benachbart zum freien Ende der außenliegenden Papierlage vorgesehen, deren freies Ende mit der darunterliegenden Papierlage verklebt ist. Diese Öffnungshilfe dient ausschließlich zur besseren Handhabung und zur Freigabe des zu erhaltenden Endes des in Rollenform vorliegenden Papieres, da durch das Verkleben des freien Endes der außenliegenden Papierlage an der darunter liegenden Papierlage der Benutzer dieser Papierrolle keine Möglichkeit hat, den verklebten Papierflächenabschnitt von der darunterliegenden Papierlage abzulösen. Zur Unterstützung dient hier die Öffnungshilfe, vermittels der für das Papier ein freies Ende freigelegt wird, um die erforderlichen Längen vom aufgerollten Papier abzutrennen und um diese Verpackungszwecken zuzuführen. Der mit der darunterliegenden Papierlage verklebte Papierflächenendabschnitt bildet mit der darunterliegenden Papierlage einen doppelwandigen Lagenabschnitt.GB-A-704 379 discloses a packaging for paper in roll form, the paper roll being designed as sales packaging and being provided with an opening aid in the form of a tear tape or tear thread running in the longitudinal direction of the paper roll and provided in the outer paper layer. This opening aid is provided adjacent to the free end of the outer paper layer, the free end of which is glued to the underlying paper layer. This opening aid is used only for better handling and for releasing the end of the paper in the form of a roll to be obtained, since the user of this paper roll has no possibility of gluing the free end of the outer paper layer to the underlying paper layer detach the glued paper surface section from the underlying paper layer. The opening aid serves to support this, by means of which a free end for the paper is exposed, in order to separate the required lengths from the rolled-up paper and to supply these for packaging purposes. The paper surface end section glued to the underlying paper layer forms a double-walled layer section with the underlying paper layer.

Die äußere Papierlage ist bei dieser Verpackung nicht geschützt. aus diesem Grunde ist eine zusätzliche Verpackungshülle vorgesehen, die aus einem Zuschnitt besteht, der um die Papierrolle gelegt wird und dessen Enden miteinander verbunden werden. Das Öffnen dieser Verpackungshülle erfolgt gleichzeitig mit der Öffnungshilfe, die in der außenliegenden Papierlage der Papierrolle vorgesehen ist.The outer paper layer is not protected with this packaging. for this reason, an additional packaging sleeve is provided, which consists of a blank that is placed around the paper roll and the ends of which are connected to one another. This packaging envelope is opened at the same time as the opening aid provided in the outer paper layer of the paper roll.

Des weiteren ist durch die FR-A-1 123 254 eine Papierrolle mit einer in Papierrollenlängsrichtung verlaufenden Öffnungshilfe bekannt, die das freie Ende der außenliegenden Papierlage verklebt. Hierzu ist die band- oder streifenförmige Öffnungshilfe beidseitig mit einem Klebstoff beschichtet, um die außenliegende Papierlage mit der darunterliegenden Papierlage verkleben zu können. Durch Ziehen an der Öffnungshilfe wird die unter der außenliegenden Papierlage liegende Papierlage im Bereich des freien Endes der außenliegenden Papierlage aufgerissen, so daß die Papierrolle geöffnet wird. Da es sich bei der Papierrolle um Papier handelt, welches zur Abgabe einzelner Blätter mit einer wiederkehrenden, quer zur Papierlängsrichtung verlaufenden Trennperforation bzw. Schwächungslinie versehen ist, wird beim Aufreißen der Papierrolle nur das erste Blatt zerrissen, wodurch eine Verschwendung vermieden werden soll, die bei den sonst üblichen Toilettenpapierrollen auftritt. Voraussetzung ist jedoch hier, daß das Papier der Papierrolle mit Trennperforationen versehen ist, um nach dem Aufreißen der Papierrolle den Papieranfang vom übrigen Papier abtrennen zu können.Furthermore, FR-A-1 123 254 discloses a paper roll with an opening aid running in the longitudinal direction of the paper roll, which glues the free end of the outer paper layer. For this purpose, the band or strip-shaped Opening aid coated on both sides with an adhesive so that the outer paper layer can be glued to the underlying paper layer. By pulling the opening aid, the paper layer underneath the outer paper layer is torn open in the area of the free end of the outer paper layer, so that the paper roll is opened. Since the paper roll is paper which is provided with a recurring separating perforation or weakening line for dispensing individual sheets, which runs transversely to the longitudinal direction of the paper, only the first sheet is torn when the paper roll is torn open, thereby avoiding wastage caused by the usual toilet paper rolls occurs. However, the prerequisite here is that the paper of the paper roll is provided with separating perforations in order to be able to separate the beginning of the paper from the rest of the paper after the paper roll has been torn open.

Es ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Verkaufsverpackung für Papier, wie Geschenk-, Pack-, Schrank- und Bucheinschlagpapier, in Rollenform zu schaffen, bei der die Ware, hier das Papier, selbst die Verpackungshülle für das eigentliche, zu verwendende Papier bildet, so daß neben einer umweltfreundlichen, sparsamen Verpackung ein Papier ohne anhaftende Papierreste erhalten wird, die beim Öffnen der Verpackungshülle verbleiben.It is an object of the present invention to provide a sales packaging for paper, such as gift, packing, cupboard and book wrapping paper, in roll form, in which the goods, here the paper, themselves form the packaging envelope for the actual paper to be used, so that in addition to environmentally friendly, economical packaging, paper is obtained without adhering paper residues which remain when the packaging envelope is opened.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einer Verpackung der gattungsgemäßen Art mit den im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmalen gelöst.This object is achieved in a packaging of the generic type with the features specified in claim 1.

Bei der erfindungsgemäß ausgebildeten Verpackung für Papier der verschiedensten Art in Rollenform ist die Papierrolle als Verkaufsverpackung ausgebildet und mit einer in Papierrollenlängsrichtung verlaufenden, in einer der äußersten Papierlage vorgesehenen Öffnungshilfe, wie Aufreißband, Aufreißlasche od. dgl. versehen, wobei eine sich an die Öffnungshilfe anschließende Papierflächenvorgabe als Verpackungshülle im außenliegenden Papierendbereich vorgesehen ist. Die mit einem Griffabschnitt aus dem einen der beiden Papierrollenenden herausgeführten Öffnungshilfe ist in oder an der Papierlage angeordnet, die von der außenliegenden Papierlage der Papierrolle abgedeckt ist, deren freies Ende mit der darunterliegenden Papierlage verklebt ist.In the case of the packaging of paper of the most varied type in the form of a roll, the paper roll is designed as sales packaging and is provided with an opening aid, such as a tear tape, tear-off flap or the like, which runs in the longitudinal direction of the paper roll and is provided in one of the outermost paper layers, one following the opening aid Paper surface specification is provided as a packaging sleeve in the outer paper end area. The opening aid guided out of one of the two paper roll ends with a grip section is arranged in or on the paper layer, which is covered by the outer paper layer of the paper roll, the free end of which is glued to the underlying paper layer.

Dadurch, daß die Öffnungshilfe z. B. in Form eines Aufreißbandes in der zweiten Papierlage angeordnet ist, wird bei einem Abziehen der Öffnungshilfe in Papierrollenlängsrichtung die die eigentliche Papierrolle umhüllende Verpackungshülle von dem eigentlichen Papier abgetrennt. Diese Verpackungshülle stellt gleichzeitig die Papierflächenvorgabe dar, denn das freie Ende der äußersten Papierlage der Papierrolle ist mit der darunterliegenden Papierlage verklebt, so daß beim Aufreißen der Öffnungshilfe in jeweils zwei Papierlagen Reiß- bzw. Trennkanten geschaffen werden, so djaß dann bei einem Heraustrennen der Öffnungshilfe in der zweiten Papierlage eine Reiß- bzw. Trennkante gebildet wird, die gleichzeitig den Anfang des zu verwendenden Papieres der Papierrolle darstellt. Da die Papierflächenvorgabe, die die eigentliche Verpackungshülle darstellt, in ihrer Länge etwas größer bemessen ist als der Umfang der Papierrolle, ist kein großer Papierverlust gegeben. Bei einem Rollendurchmesser von beispielsweise 32 mm fällt auf die Papierflächenvorgabe ein Flächenzuschnitt mit einer Länge von etwa 130 mm, wobei die beim Abziehen der Öffnungshilfe entstehende Zuschnittsfläche etwa 100 mm beträgt, während 30 mm an Zuschnittsfläche mit der erstgenannten Zuschnittsfläche mit einer Länge von 100 mm verklebt ist.The fact that the opening aid z. B. is arranged in the form of a tear tape in the second paper layer, the packaging roll enveloping the actual paper roll is separated from the actual paper when the opening aid is pulled off in the longitudinal direction of the paper roll. This packaging envelope also represents the paper surface specification, because the free end of the outermost paper layer of the paper roll is glued to the underlying paper layer, so that when the opening aid is torn, tear or separating edges are created in two paper layers, so that when the opening aid is removed a tear or separating edge is formed in the second paper layer, which at the same time represents the beginning of the paper to be used for the paper roll. Since the paper surface specification, which represents the actual packaging envelope, is dimensioned somewhat longer in length than that Scope of the paper roll, there is no major paper loss. With a roll diameter of 32 mm, for example, a surface blank with a length of approximately 130 mm falls on the paper surface specification, the blank surface resulting from the removal of the opening aid being approximately 100 mm, while 30 mm on the blank surface sticks to the first-mentioned blank surface with a length of 100 mm is.

Da die Verpackungshülle selbst aus dem zu einer Rolle geformten Papier besteht, entfällt jede zusätzliche Verpakkung; die Verpackungshülle wird bei der Herstellung der Papierrolle mit ausgebildet, nachdem die Öffnungshilfe in Form eines Aufreißbandes eingelegt und mit der zweiten Papierlage fest verbunden worden ist. Die Verpackung ist hiernach wirtschaftlich; die erhaltene Verpackungshülle kann der Wiederaufbereitung zugeführt werden und ist als Papier somit wiederverwendbar.Since the packaging envelope itself consists of the paper formed into a roll, any additional packaging is unnecessary; the packaging envelope is also formed in the manufacture of the paper roll after the opening aid has been inserted in the form of a tear tape and firmly connected to the second paper layer. According to this, the packaging is economical; the packaging envelope obtained can be recycled and is therefore reusable as paper.

Des weiteren weist die das Aufreißband 21 tragende Papierlage 13 der Papierrolle 10 zwei parallel zueinander in Papierrollenlängsrichtung verlaufende Trennperforationen 30', 31' auf, die zu beiden Seiten des Aufreißbandes 21 verlaufend angeordnet sind. Die in der das Aufreißband 21 abdeckenden außenliegenden Papierlage 14, deren freies Ende 14a mit der darunterliegenden Papierlage 13 bei 15 verklebt ist, angeordneten Trennperforationen 30, 31 fluchten mit den Trennperforationen 30', 31', die in der das Aufreißband 21 tragenden Papierrollenlage 13 ausgebildet sind, so daß in den beiden Papierrollenlagen 13 und 14 Trennperforatinen 30, 31 und 30', 31' ausgebildet sind, die mit den seitlichen Rändern bzw. Kanten 20a, 20b des Aufreißbandes 21 fluchten und ein Abtrennen der Papierflächenvorgabe 11, d. h. der Verpackungshülle, insofern erleichtern, als bei einem Aufbzw. Abreißen des Aufreißbandes 21 in Pfeilrichtung X die über dem Aufreißband 21 und in dessen Bereich liegenden Papierlagen 13, 14 aufgetrennt werden. Da es sich bei Geschenk-, Schrank- und Bucheinschlagpapieren um recht dünnes Papiermaterial handelt, stellen die Trennperforationen 30, 31 und 30', 31' lediglich Trennhilfen dar, zumal ein Auf- und Abreißen des Aufreißbandes 21 auch ohne Vorhandensein von Trennperforationen möglich ist.The tear tape 21 of the opening aid 20 is guided out of the end 10b of the paper roll 10 with a grip section 22 (FIGS. 1, 2 and 3). This tear tape 21 is arranged in or on the paper layer 13 or paper roll 10, which is covered by the outer paper layer 14, the free end 14a of which is glued to the underlying paper layer 13, which is indicated at 15 in FIG. 6. Because of this configuration, the tear tape 21 lies between the paper layer 13 and the adjoining inner paper layer 12. The tear tape 21 is fastened to the inner wall surface 13b of the paper layer 13 by means of an adhesive. In the outermost paper layer 14, which covers the paper layer 13 with the tear tape 21 and whose free end 14a is glued to the underlying paper layer 13 at 15, two separating perforations 30, 31 running parallel to one another in the longitudinal direction of the paper roll are provided, which are above the lateral edges or Edges 20a, 20b of tear tape 21 run and are flush with them (FIG. 6). Furthermore, the paper layer 13 of the paper roll 10 carrying the tear tape 21 has two separating perforations 30 ', 31' running parallel to one another in the longitudinal direction of the paper roll, which are arranged running on both sides of the tear tape 21. The separating perforations 30, 31 arranged in the outer paper layer 14 covering the tear tape 21, the free end 14a of which is glued to the underlying paper layer 13 at 15, are aligned with the separating perforations 30 ', 31' formed in the paper roll layer 13 carrying the tear tape 21 are, so that in the two paper roll layers 13 and 14 separating perforations 30, 31 and 30 ', 31' are formed, which are aligned with the lateral edges or edges 20a, 20b of the tear tape 21 and a separation of the paper surface specification 11, ie Packing cover, in so far as lightening when a Aufbzw. Tear off the tear tape 21 in the direction of the arrow X, the paper layers 13, 14 lying above the tear tape 21 and in its area are separated. Since gift, cupboard and book wrapping papers are very thin paper material, the separating perforations 30, 31 and 30 ', 31' only represent separating aids, especially since the tear tape 21 can be torn open and torn off even without the presence of separating perforations.

Als Öffnungshilfe 20 kann anstelle eines Aufreißbandes 21 auch ein Aufreißfaden eingesetzt werden.A tear thread can also be used as an opening aid 20 instead of a tear tape 21.

Die Papierflächenvorgabe 11, die sich an die Öffnungshilfe 20 der Papierrolle 10 anschließt, weist bevorzugterweise eine Länge auf, die größer ist als der Papierrollenumfang.The paper surface specification 11, which adjoins the opening aid 20 of the paper roll 10, preferably has a length that is greater than the circumference of the paper roll.

Eine aus einer Papierrolle 10 bestehende Verkaufsverpakkung 100 mit einer in das Papier der Papierrolle eingearbeiteten Öffnungshilfe 20, bevorzugterweise in Form eines Aufreißbandes 21, wird wie folgt geöffnet: Das Aufreißband 21 wird an seinem freien Griffabschnitt 22 (Fig. 1) erfaßt und in Papierrollenlängsrichtung aus dem Papier herausgezogen, so daß als Verpackungshülle die Papierflächenvorgabe 11 erhalten wird. Diese Papierflächenvorgabe 11 wird gebildet vom Abschnitt 11a und dem schmäleren Abschnitt llb, der auf den Abschnitt 11a bei der Herstellung der Papierrolle 10 aufgeklebt worden ist. Wird das Aufreißband 21 abgezogen, so werden in der äußeren Papierlage 14 zu beiden Seiten des Trennbereiches Reiß- bzw. Trennkanten 11a' und 11b' erhalten. In gleicher Weise werden Reißbzw. Trennkanten 13a und 11c in der Papierlage 13 erhalten, wobei dann die Reiß- bzw. Trennkante 11a' en Anfang des eigentlich zu verwendenden Papieres darstellt. Dadurch, daß der Papierabschnitt 11b der Papierflächenvorgabe 11 auf den Papierabschnitt lla aufgeklebt ist, wird nach dem Abreißen des Aufreißbandes 21 die Papierflächenvorgabe 11 mit den Reiß- bzw. Trennkanten 11b' und 11c erhalten (Fig. 3, 4 und 5). Ist die Verkaufsverpackung 100 noch nicht aufgeborchen, dann ist die Papierflächenvorgabe 11 mit ihrem Rand 11a' mit der Kante 11b' über den Papiersteg 19 verbunden (Fig. 5). Beim Aufreißen des Aufreißbandes 21 werden in den beiden Papierlagen 13, 14 die Papierstege 19' und 19 mit herausgerissen, wobei die Breite dieser Papierstege 19, 19' der Breite des Aufreißbandes 21 entspricht.A sales package 100 consisting of a paper roll 10 with an opening aid 20 incorporated into the paper of the paper roll, preferably in the form of a tear tape 21, is opened as follows: The tear tape 21 is gripped by its free handle portion 22 (FIG. 1) and extends in the paper roll longitudinal direction pulled out of the paper so that the paper surface specification 11 is obtained as the packaging sleeve. This paper surface specification 11 is formed by the section 11a and the narrower section 11b, which was glued to the section 11a during the manufacture of the paper roll 10. If the tear tape 21 is pulled off, tear or separating edges 11a 'and 11b' are obtained in the outer paper layer 14 on both sides of the separating area. In the same way tear or Separating edges 13a and 11c are obtained in the paper layer 13, with the tear or separating edge 11a 'beginning of the actual paper to be used. Because the paper section 11b of the paper surface specification 11 is glued onto the paper section 11a, the paper surface specification 11 with the tear or separating edges 11b 'and 11c is obtained after the tear-off tape 21 has been torn off (FIGS. 3, 4 and 5). If the sales packaging 100 has not yet been opened, then the paper surface specification 11 is connected with its edge 11a 'to the edge 11b' via the paper web 19 (FIG. 5). When the tear tape 21 is torn, the paper webs 19 'and 19 are also torn out in the two paper layers 13, 14, the width of these paper webs 19, 19' corresponding to the width of the tear tape 21.

Nach einer weiteren Ausführungsform kann die Öffnungshilfe 20 aus einer Trennperforation bestehen, die auch in Form einer Doppel-Trennperforation ausgebildet sein kann, wobei zwischen den beiden im Abstand voneinander verlaufenden Trennlinien ein streifenförmiger Steg ausgebildet ist, der zum Öffnen des gebildeten Verschlusses dient, der durch die Verbindung des freien Endes 14a der außenliegenden Papierlage 14 mit der darunterliegenden Papierlage 13 erhalten wird. Es besteht auch die Möglichkeit, daß das freie Ende 14a der außenliegenden Papierlage 14 mit der darunterliegenden Papierlage 13 vermittels eines leicht löslichen Klebemittels verklebt ist. Bevorzugterweise wird als Klebemittel eine Haftklebemasse verwendet, aufgrund deren das freie Ende 14a der außen liegenden Papierlage 14 auf der darunterliegenden Papierlage 13 mit geringer Adhäsivität derart gehalten ist, daß ein rückstandsfreies Ablösen des freien Endes 14a und ein erneutes Verkleben mit der Papierlage 14 möglich ist. Derartige Haftklebemassen werden in der DE-A-2 407 494, US-A-3 691 140, DE-A-2 417 312, US-A-2 510 120 und DE-A-2 535 897 beschrieben.According to a further embodiment, the opening aid 20 can consist of a separating perforation, which can also be designed in the form of a double separating perforation, a strip-shaped web being formed between the two separating lines running at a distance from one another, which serves to open the closure formed by the the connection of the free end 14a of the outer paper layer 14 with the underlying paper layer 13 is obtained. There is also the possibility that the free end 14a of the outer paper layer 14 is glued to the underlying paper layer 13 by means of a readily soluble adhesive. A pressure-sensitive adhesive is preferably used as the adhesive, on the basis of which the free end 14a of the outer paper layer 14 is held on the underlying paper layer 13 with low adhesiveness in such a way that residue-free detachment of the free end 14a and re-adhesion to the paper layer 14 is possible. Such PSAs are described in DE-A-2 407 494, US-A-3 691 140, DE-A-2 417 312, US-A-2 510 120 and DE-A-2 535 897.

Des weiteren kann das freie Ende 14a der außen liegenden Papierlage 14 an der darunter liegenden Papierlage 13 mittels eines aufgeklebten Etiketts gehalten sein, das zweckmäßigerweise selbstklebend ausgebildet ist.Furthermore, the free end 14a of the outer paper layer 14 can be held on the underlying paper layer 13 by means of a glued-on label, which is expediently designed to be self-adhesive.
