Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the packaging of consumer products requiring consumer information.
  • They can be, for example, food products whose preparation must be carried out according to a particular method or according to a recommended culinary recipe.
  • They may also be chemicals, the implementation of which is carried out according to a specific user manual which requires taking the precautions for use laid down by the manufacturer.
  • it can be pharmaceutical products, such as drugs, which must contain a certain number of regulatory information such as their composition, indications, contraindications, dosage, precautions for use, etc.
  • an envelope constituted by a heat-shrinkable sleeve capable of closely surrounding at least one part of the body of the container to form a support for elementary information and / or ensuring the relative immobilization of the opening and closing means. of said container.
  • envelopes known as a sleeve surrounding a container often turn out to be of limited use with regard to the supply of necessary information and moreover do not make it possible to dispose of it freely by dissociating it from their support.
  • Document WO-A-92/02421 discloses an envelope intended for packaging a container containing a consumer product, of the type constituted by a sleeve capable of surrounding at least part of the body of the container to form a elementary information medium, said sleeve further having an extension forming a removable complementary flap which extends freely by superposition, between two external generatrices of the reference lateral surface of said sleeve, to which it is connected by its two lateral ends so detachable, to deliver additional specific information which it contains, in accordance with the preamble of claim 1.
  • this is not a sleeve obtained from a heat-shrinkable material, but a sleeve made of cardboard. This is the reason why the closure of the sleeve on itself can be obtained by a simple bonding, the latter not being the seat of retraction forces and therefore not having to resist them to avoid tearing. .
  • the end edge of the flap is fixed with a lighter bonding (by bonding points) than the other edge in order to allow easy detachment by gripping a tab projecting from this terminal edge.
  • Document BE-A-506 116 also discloses a paper sleeve extended by a flap and closed on itself by gluing.
  • the flap is formed by a leaflet, the free end of which is fixed to said sleeve by a clip or a washer of paper, which can be assumed to be adhesive.
  • the object of the invention is to remedy the various aforementioned drawbacks and to this end relates to an envelope more particularly intended for packaging a container containing a consumer product, of the type constituted by a sleeve capable of surrounding at least part of the body of the container to form an elementary information carrier, said sleeve further having an extension forming a removable complementary flap which extends freely by superposition, between two external generatrices of the lateral reference surface of said sleeve, to which it is connected by its two lateral ends detachably, to deliver additional specific information which it contains, characterized in that the envelope forming the sleeve and the complementary flap which extends it is obtained from a sheet of heat-shrinkable plastic, that the lateral ends of the complementary flap are connected to the sleeve by two parallel heat seals, and in that the means capable of making the complementary flap removable are arranged near each of the two heat seals, on the internal side thereof.
  • the envelope is intended, on the one hand, for the packaging of a container 2 and, on the other hand, for the delivery of additional information 8 concerning the product contained by said container 2.
  • the envelope 1 comprises a first part, known per se, and constituted by a sleeve 3 made of heat-shrinkable material capable of closely surrounding the body of the container 2 to form a support for elementary information 9 and possibly ensuring immobilization. opening and closing means, in this case a plug 4, of said container 2.
  • the envelope 1 constituted by the sleeve 3 further comprises a second part formed by a flap 5 extending freely by superposition between two external generatrices x and y of the lateral reference surface of said sleeve 3, to which it is connected by its two lateral ends 6 and 7 detachably, at least partially, to deliver additional specific information 8 which it contains.
  • the envelope 1 is obtained from a sheet of heat-shrinkable plastic in one piece, the first part of which forms the sleeve 3 consists of zones I and II, and the second part III of which forms the flap 5 is obtained in one piece with said sleeve 3 as an extension of one of the lateral ends 6 of the developed surface (I + II) of said sleeve 3.
  • FIG. 2 also shows zones A, B, C, D which are intended for heat sealing during the shaping of the envelope 1.
  • zones A-B and C-D can be carried out successively or simultaneously.
  • the lateral ends of the flap are connected to the sleeve by two parallel heat seals, one of them simultaneously forming the sleeve by closing its reference lateral surface on itself.
  • zone II the elementary information 9 carried by the sleeve 3 is necessarily transcribed in zone II because zone I is covered by zone III forming the flap 5.
  • This information 9 is of course necessarily readable from the outside once the sleeve 3 placed on the container 2, but on the other hand, the information 8 can be made readable from the outside or from the inside. This is so that, in the latter case, they remain discreet, for example with regard to certain drugs.
  • the length "L" of the flap 5 constituted by the zone III is deliberately limited in proportions such as not to allow the overlapping of the zone II and this for two reasons.
  • the first is obviously to prevent the flap 5 from masking the information carried by said zone II of the sleeve 3.
  • the second resides in the fact that it is not desirable to heat the zone I of the sleeve 3 covered by the zone III of the flap 5, during the heat-shrinking operation, because this could lead to a deformation of the latter, harmful to the information it contains. It is therefore preferred to heat only the only zone II, to ensure the shrinking of the sleeve 3.
  • the flap is made removable by means of tearing means disposed near its lateral ends.
  • the means capable of making the flap removable are arranged near each of the two heat seals, on the internal side thereof.
  • These pull-out means P1, P2 are in this case constituted by two lateral punctures.
  • FIG. 9 shows a first cut out thanks to the puncture P1, the puncture P2 being in the process of being torn off. Note that the removal of the flap 5 does not in any way alter the sleeve 3 which remains in place.
  • the flap 5 can also be made removable by means of adhesive means (not shown) arranged near its lateral ends.
  • the flap defines with the sleeve a pouch capable of containing an explanatory note concerning the product.
  • the pocket defined by the flap is closed on all sides after introduction of the instructions to constitute an airtight protection to it.
  • the flap 5 can be printed to constitute an explanatory note per se.
  • the inner surface of the flap is secured to an end fold of an explanatory note folded back on itself.
  • leaflet 12 is folded back on itself in an accordion.
  • the end fold 12a of the leaflet 12 can be secured to the flap 5A by heat sealing simultaneously with the assembly of the zones C-D or else by gluing in said zone C of the flap 5A.
  • a variant could consist in bringing the notice 12 onto the internal face 5a of the flap 5A of an envelope 1A by peelable adhesive means (not shown).
  • the envelope 1 or 1A is made of a material of the same kind as the container (2) so as to make their simultaneous recycling compatible.
  • envelope 1 or 1A is made up of a material of the same kind as the container and the information leaflet so as to make their recycling simultaneous.
  • the container 2 and its stopper 4 the sleeve 3 constituting its packaging, the flap 5 or 5A containing the notice 11 or 12, the notice 11 or 12 it -same, are of the same nature and consequently recyclable simultaneously.
