Definitions
- the invention relates to packaging for lumpy goods, consisting of a deep-drawn part for receiving the goods and a cover part.
- thermoformed blister pack for tablets is widespread on the market, in which the thermoformed part has a number of individual cups for receiving the tablets according to the number of tablets.
- the push-through pack is provided with a metal foil as a cover part or also with a metal-aluminum composite foil and is dimensioned in terms of its thickness so that the tablet is pressed out from the bottom upwards by pressure on the deep-drawing bowl.
- a generic packaging shows the US-A-4 721 204. This is used for magazine-like recording of ampoules; for opening and closing the deep-drawn part, the cardboard cover part is designed like a flap at one end of the pack. By folding the protruding edge of the cover part (referred to as the carrier part), the removal opening can be closed again at least to the extent that the remaining ampoules are secured against falling out.
- This "mechanical" reclosure is sufficient here, since the necessary sealing measures with regard to the active pharmaceutical ingredient are provided by the ampoules.
- this packaging cannot be used, since the opened packaging no longer ensures adequate sealing against dust and moisture, and thus the pharmaceutical effect and / or the shelf life of the preparation can be impaired.
- a packaging with a flap for removing the goods through a removal opening and with an adhesive film which extends over the flap and at least part of the adjacent surface of the packaging such that the removal opening can be closed again with the flap is known from DE U-88 10 948 known.
- the packaging shown there consists of a deep-drawn part and a sealed cover film, the removal opening mentioned being provided in the deep-drawn part. Since several of the lumpy goods are located in the deep-drawn part in a disordered arrangement, for example candies or tablets, controlled removal of the goods from such packaging is not possible. With the technology used, these packages also consist of different materials, in particular a plastic deep-drawn part and a mostly metallic cover film, and first require the separation of these materials before recycling is possible.
- DE-U-88 11 951.3 shows a blister pack for small objects, e.g. Tablets in which the cover film runs in strips over the individual cups and also consists of a metal film, which does not solve the disposal problem.
- adhesive-free areas are provided in this area and the adhesive for connecting the deep-drawn part and the cover film should be reusable.
- Another type of packaging is characterized, for example, by DD-A-52534, in which a large number of tablets are arranged in a spiral row in a rather complex dispenser, from which they can be removed one by one.
- the dispenser is designed here as an upper part and lower part, which are obviously injection molded or cast and are therefore very expensive in terms of material.
- the cover part is formed from a cover film in which a flap is formed to form the removal opening, and that an adhesive film extends over the flap and at least part of the adjacent surface of the packaging such that the Removal opening with the flap again for articles in solid pharmaceutical dosage forms such as Tablets can be sealed.
- the basic idea of the invention compared to the known packaging is the arrangement of the flap in the cover film; This measure ensures easy opening and a simple reclosure of the pack by means of the adhesive film, and the deep-drawn part, cover film and adhesive film can all be produced from plastic materials and can therefore be recycled as a single-material pack.
- the cover film of the packaging is not destroyed (as in the known blister pack for tablets) when the contents of the pack are used up, the cover film can now also serve as an information carrier (notes on use, table of contents), which means that additional precautions may be dispensed with or the package insert may be simplified can be.
- the goods in particular the tablets, are received in rows in the deep-drawn deep-drawn part, so that a type of magazine is formed in which a certain number of tablets can be stored and successively removed via the defined discharge opening.
- the flap is expediently located above the end of a deep-drawing channel, which ensures a further simple embodiment of the invention, namely the formation of an opening flap which, on the one hand, consists of an end section of the adhesive film and a detachable edge section of the deep-drawn part.
- the packaging shown in FIG. 1 in its components initially consists of an elongated deep-drawn part 11, into which a straight deep-drawn channel 17 is inserted, in which the piece goods, here tablets, are accommodated in rows in a magazine-like manner.
- the cover film has an edge section 11a which can be detached from the deep-drawn part 11 by breaking open a break-off edge 16 (FIG. 1A). Since the breaking-off of the break-off edge 16 is irreversible, these features serve to form a "guarantee closure", i.e. once a package has been opened it is immediately recognizable as such, which is particularly important in the case of pharmaceutical products.
- the second component of the packaging is a cover sheet 12, the dimensions of which essentially correspond to the outer dimensions of the deep-drawn part 11, with the exception that the one end (in the drawing on the left) of the cover sheet 12 extends only to the breaking edge 16 of the deep-drawn part.
- a perforation line or punch line 13 is introduced in the cover film 12, which defines a flap 14.
- This perforation line 13 or the flap 14 is arranged in the cover film 12 so that when it is applied to the deep-drawn part (FIG. 2) it comes to lie above the left-hand tablet within the deep-drawn channel 17 and is so dimensioned that when the flap 14 is open only this one tablet can be easily removed from the deep-drawn part 11.
- the cover film 12 is sealed onto the deep-drawn part 11 in a known manner or can also be glued to it.
- an adhesive film 15 is provided which extends over the flap 14 in the cover film 12 and the detachable edge section 11a of the deep-drawn part 11, the left end section 15a of the adhesive film 15 and the detachable edge section 11a of the deep-drawn part 11 form an opening tab L.
- the opening tab L In the closed state of the packaging (FIG. 2), the opening tab L thus forms a more or less rigid component of the packaging and signals to the user that the packaging has not yet been opened. If a product to be packaged 10 is to be removed for the first time, the opening flap L is pulled upwards by separating the edge section 11a of the deep-drawn part 11 (FIG. 3), and due to the adhesive action of the adhesive film 15 on the cover film 12, the flap 14 becomes along the perforation line 13 pulled up and thus releases a removal opening corresponding to their size for the lumpy good 10. It goes without saying that the adhesive force of the adhesive film 15 must be so strong in relation to the perforations of the punching line 13 that the remaining material bridges between the flap 14 and the cover film 12 can be broken open safely.
- the packaging can then be closed again by placing the adhesive film 15 with the flap 14 back on the cover film 12 and, if necessary, pressing it on.
- the package has already been opened once, since the edge section 11a of the deep-drawn part 11 is separated from it.
- a deep-drawing channel 17 is provided, but it is also readily possible (FIG. 5) to design a packaging in such a way that several deep-drawing channels 17A ... 17C are arranged next to one another in a common packaging, with such packaging expediently in suitable packaging according to FIGS. 1-4 can be disassembled.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verpackung für stückige Güter, bestehend aus einem Tiefziehteil zur Aufnahme der Güter und einem Abdeckteil.The invention relates to packaging for lumpy goods, consisting of a deep-drawn part for receiving the goods and a cover part.
Zur gezielten Entnahme einzelner Güter aus derartigen Verpackungen ist eine Tiefzieh-Durchdrückpackung für Tabletten auf dem Markt weit verbreitet, bei der das Tiefziehteil eine Anzahl von Einzelnäpfen zur Aufnahme der Tabletten entsprechend der Anzahl der Tabletten aufweist. Die Durchdrückpackung ist mit einer Metallfolie als Abdeckteil versehen oder auch mit einer Metall-Alu-Verbundfolie und ist hinsichtlich ihrer Stärke so dimensioniert, daß die Tablette durch Druck auf den Tiefziehnapf von unten nach oben herausgedrückt wird. Durch den Einsatz verschiedener Materialien für die Tiefziehfolie bzw. die Deckfolie ist ein Recyceln der Packung nur möglich, wenn die Trennung der Materialien vom Endverbraucher mehr oder weniger mühsam vorgenommen wird, was erfahrungsgemäß zumindest zur Zeit nicht der Fall ist. Die Anordnung von Einzelnäpfen ist zudem materialseitig recht aufwendig, wenn das Verhältnis von Anzahl der Güter zu Verpackungsmaterial berücksichtigt wird.For the targeted removal of individual goods from such packaging, a thermoformed blister pack for tablets is widespread on the market, in which the thermoformed part has a number of individual cups for receiving the tablets according to the number of tablets. The push-through pack is provided with a metal foil as a cover part or also with a metal-aluminum composite foil and is dimensioned in terms of its thickness so that the tablet is pressed out from the bottom upwards by pressure on the deep-drawing bowl. By using different materials for the thermoformed film or the cover film, recycling of the package is only possible if the separation of the materials from the end user is carried out more or less with difficulty, which experience has shown, at least at the moment, not to be the case. The arrangement of individual bowls is also quite complex on the material side if the ratio of the number of goods to packaging material is taken into account.
Ein weiterer Nachteil dieser Verpackung ist darin zu sehen, daß die oft bedruckte Deckfolie bei jeder Tablettenentnahme zwangsläufig weiter zerstört wird und die darauf befindliche Information nicht mehr lesbar ist und folglich für die Weitervermittlung wichtiger Hinweise, betreffend das jeweilige pharmazeutische Produkt, ausscheidet.Another disadvantage of this packaging can be seen in the fact that the cover sheet, which is often printed, is inevitably destroyed further each time the tablets are removed and the information on it is no longer legible and consequently is ruled out for the transmission of important information regarding the respective pharmaceutical product.
Eine gattungsgemäße Verpackung zeigt die US-A-4 721 204. Diese dient zur magazinartigen Aufnahme von Ampullen; zur Öffnung und zum Verschluß des Tiefziehteils ist das Karton-Abdeckteil an einem Packungsende klappenähnlich ausgebildet. Durch Umklappen des überstehenden Randes des Abdeckteils (als Trägerteil bezeichnet) läßt sich die Entnahmeöffnung zumindest soweit wieder verschließen, daß die verbliebenen Ampullen gegen Herausfallen gesichert sind. Dieser "mechanische" Wiederverschluß ist hier ausreichend, da die erforderlichen Dichtigkeitsvorkehrungen hinsichtlich des pharmazeutischen Wirkstoffes durch die Ampullen erbracht werden. Für andere feste Darreichungsformen pharmazeutischer Artikel wie z.B. Tabletten, ist diese Verpackung nicht einsetzbar, da die einmal geöffnete Verpackung keine ausreichende Dichtigkeit gegen Staub und Feuchtigkeit mehr gewährleistet und somit die pharmazeutische Wirkung und/oder die Haltbarkeit des Präparates beeinträchtigt werden kann.A generic packaging shows the US-A-4 721 204. This is used for magazine-like recording of ampoules; for opening and closing the deep-drawn part, the cardboard cover part is designed like a flap at one end of the pack. By folding the protruding edge of the cover part (referred to as the carrier part), the removal opening can be closed again at least to the extent that the remaining ampoules are secured against falling out. This "mechanical" reclosure is sufficient here, since the necessary sealing measures with regard to the active pharmaceutical ingredient are provided by the ampoules. For other solid dosage forms of pharmaceutical articles such as e.g. Tablets, this packaging cannot be used, since the opened packaging no longer ensures adequate sealing against dust and moisture, and thus the pharmaceutical effect and / or the shelf life of the preparation can be impaired.
Auch hier handelt es sich um eine Mehrstoffpackung mit den oben schon angedeuteten Entsorgungsproblemen.This is also a multi-component pack with the disposal problems already mentioned above.
Eine Verpackung mit einer Klappe zur Entnahme der Güter durch eine Entnahmeöffnung, sowie mit einer Haftfolie, die sich über die Klappe und zumindest einen Teil der angrenzenden Fläche der Verpackung erstreckt derart, daß die Entnahmeöffnung mit der Klappe wieder verschließbar ist, ist aus der DE-U-88 10 948 bekannt. Die dort gezeigte Verpackung besteht aus einem Tiefziehteil und einer aufgesiegelten Abdeckfolie, wobei die genannte Entnahmeöffnung im Tiefziehteil vorgesehen ist. Da sich im Tiefziehteil in ungeordneter Anordnung mehrere der stückigen Güter befinden, beispielsweise Bonbons oder Tabletten, ist eine kontrollierte Entnahme der Güter aus solchen Verpackungen nicht möglich. Bei der verwendeten Technologie bestehen auch diese Verpackungen aus verschiedenen Materialien, insbesondere einem Kunststoff-Tiefziehteil und einer meist metallischen Abdeckfolie, und erfordern zunächst die Trennung dieser Materialien, bevor ein Recyceln möglich ist.A packaging with a flap for removing the goods through a removal opening and with an adhesive film which extends over the flap and at least part of the adjacent surface of the packaging such that the removal opening can be closed again with the flap is known from DE U-88 10 948 known. The packaging shown there consists of a deep-drawn part and a sealed cover film, the removal opening mentioned being provided in the deep-drawn part. Since several of the lumpy goods are located in the deep-drawn part in a disordered arrangement, for example candies or tablets, controlled removal of the goods from such packaging is not possible. With the technology used, these packages also consist of different materials, in particular a plastic deep-drawn part and a mostly metallic cover film, and first require the separation of these materials before recycling is possible.
Das DE-U-88 11 951.3 zeigt eine Blisterverpackung für kleine Gegenstände, z.B. Tabletten, bei der die Abdeckfolie streifenförmig über den Einzelnäpfen verläuft und ebenfalls aus aus einer Metallfolie besteht, was das Entsorgungsproblem nicht behebt. Um eine Wiederverschließbarkeit von Einzelnäpfen zu erreichen, sind in diesem Bereich klebstoffreie Stellen vorgesehen und der Kleber zur Verbindung von Tiefziehteil und Abdeckfolie soll wiederverwendbar sein.DE-U-88 11 951.3 shows a blister pack for small objects, e.g. Tablets in which the cover film runs in strips over the individual cups and also consists of a metal film, which does not solve the disposal problem. In order to ensure that individual bowls can be resealed, adhesive-free areas are provided in this area and the adhesive for connecting the deep-drawn part and the cover film should be reusable.
Diese Lösung reduziert den Materialaufwand nicht wesentlich, erhöht aber den Fertigungsaufwand, da die Streifen der Abdeckfolie mit ihren Kleber-freien Stellen präzise hergestellt und positionsgenau auf das Tiefziehteil aufgeklebt werden müssen. Diese Verpackung bringt daher gegenüber der einleitend erwähnten, auf dem Markt eingeführten Verpackungen keinen wesentlichen Vorteil und hat sich bisher nicht bewährt.This solution does not significantly reduce the material expenditure, but increases the production expenditure, since the strips of the cover film with their adhesive-free locations have to be produced precisely and glued onto the deep-drawn part in the correct position. This packaging therefore has no significant advantage over the packaging mentioned at the outset and has not yet proven itself.
Ein weiterer Typ von Verpackungen wird beispielhaft durch die DD-A-52534 charakterisiert, bei der eine Vielzahl von Tabletten in einer spiralförmigen Reihe in einem recht aufwendigen Spender untergebracht sind, aus dem sie einzeln nacheinander entnommen werden können. Der Spender ist hier als Oberteil und Unterteil ausgebildet, die offensichtlich gespritzt oder gegossen sind und insofern materialmäßig sehr aufwendig sind.Another type of packaging is characterized, for example, by DD-A-52534, in which a large number of tablets are arranged in a spiral row in a rather complex dispenser, from which they can be removed one by one. The dispenser is designed here as an upper part and lower part, which are obviously injection molded or cast and are therefore very expensive in terms of material.
In der Zusammenschau der bekannten Technologie zeigt sich, daß einfache und materialsparende Herstellung, Verbesserung der Recyclefähigkeit und hoher Gebrauchswert bei sukzessiver Einzelentnahme des Verpackungsgutes sich bisher nicht zufriedenstellend realisieren ließen.A summary of the known technology shows that simple and material-saving production, improvement of the recyclability and high utility value with successive individual removal of the packaged goods have so far not been satisfactorily realized.
Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, die gattungsgemäße Verpackung derart weiterzubilden, daß sie für die Verpackung von pharmazeutischen Artikeln in Form von Tabletten, Dragees oder Kapseln geeignet ist und die genannten Nachteile vermeidet.It is an object of the invention to further develop the generic packaging in such a way that it is used for the packaging of pharmaceutical Articles in the form of tablets, coated tablets or capsules is suitable and avoids the disadvantages mentioned.
Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß das Abdeckteil aus einer Abdeckfolie gebildet ist, in der eine Klappe zur Bildung der Entnahmeöffnung eingebracht ist, und daß sich über die Klappe und zumindest einen Teil der angrenzenden Fläche der Verpackung eine Haftfolie erstreckt, derart, daß die Entnahmeöffnung mit der Klappe wieder für Artikel in festen, pharmazeutischen Darreichungsformen wie z.B. Tabletten dicht verschließbar ist.According to the invention this object is achieved in that the cover part is formed from a cover film in which a flap is formed to form the removal opening, and that an adhesive film extends over the flap and at least part of the adjacent surface of the packaging such that the Removal opening with the flap again for articles in solid pharmaceutical dosage forms such as Tablets can be sealed.
Der Grundgedanke der Erfindung besteht gegenüber den vorbekannten Verpackungen in der Anordnung der Klappe in der Abdeckfolie; durch diese Maßnahme ist eine einfache Öffnung und mittels der Haftfolie ein einfacher Wiederverschluß der Packung gewährleistet und Tiefziehteil, Abdeckfolie und Haftfolie können sämtlich aus Kunststoffmaterialien hergestellt werden und somit als Einstoffpackung recycelt werden.The basic idea of the invention compared to the known packaging is the arrangement of the flap in the cover film; This measure ensures easy opening and a simple reclosure of the pack by means of the adhesive film, and the deep-drawn part, cover film and adhesive film can all be produced from plastic materials and can therefore be recycled as a single-material pack.
Ebenfalls können die Anforderungen der pharmazeutischen Industrie an die Dichtheit der Verpackung problemlos gewährleistet bleiben.The requirements of the pharmaceutical industry regarding the tightness of the packaging can also easily be guaranteed.
Da die Abdeckfolie der Verpackung nicht (wie bei der bekannten Durchdrückpackung für Tabletten) beim fortschreitenden Verbrauch des Packungsinhalts zerstört wird, kann die Abdeckfolie nunmehr auch als Informationsträger (Hinweise zur Benutzung, Inhaltsangabe) dienen, wodurch unter Umständen auf zusätzliche Vorkehrungen verzichtet oder die Packungsbeilage vereinfacht werden kann.Since the cover film of the packaging is not destroyed (as in the known blister pack for tablets) when the contents of the pack are used up, the cover film can now also serve as an information carrier (notes on use, table of contents), which means that additional precautions may be dispensed with or the package insert may be simplified can be.
Nach einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind die Güter, also insbesondere die Tabletten, im rinnenartig ausgebildeten Tiefziehteil reihenweise aufgenommen, so daß eine Art Magazin ausgebildet ist, in dem eine bestimmte Anzahl von Tabletten abgespeichert und sukzessive über die definiert angeordnete Entnahmeöffnung entnommen werden kann.According to one embodiment of the invention, the goods, in particular the tablets, are received in rows in the deep-drawn deep-drawn part, so that a type of magazine is formed in which a certain number of tablets can be stored and successively removed via the defined discharge opening.
Zweckmäßigerweise befindet sich die Klappe über dem Ende einer Tiefziehrinne, was eine weitere einfache Ausgestaltung der Erfindung gewährleistet, nämlich die Ausbildung einer Öffnungslasche, die aus einem Endabschnitt der Haftfolie einerseits und einem abtrennbaren Randabschnitt des Tiefziehteils besteht.The flap is expediently located above the end of a deep-drawing channel, which ensures a further simple embodiment of the invention, namely the formation of an opening flap which, on the one hand, consists of an end section of the adhesive film and a detachable edge section of the deep-drawn part.
Weitere Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind den Unteransprüchen entnehmbar.Further embodiments of the invention can be found in the subclaims.
Durch die magazinweise Anordnung pharmazeutischer Artikel wie z.B. Tabletten, wird eine sehr dichte, kompakte Verpackung gegenüber den bekannten Lösungen mit vergleichbaren Dichtigkeitseigenschaften durch den Einsatz von separaten Tiefziehnäpfen erreicht. Dadurch kann der Gesamtmaterialeinsatz wesentlich reduziert werden, beispielsweise ist eine Folienersparnis im Bereich von 40% erreichbar und eine Verkleinerung von Um- und Versandpackungen (Faltschachteln usw.), was zu wesentlichen Kostenreduzierungen einerseits wegen der damit verbundenen Materialeinsparung, andererseits wegen einer Reduzierung der Lager- und Transportvolumina führt. Es versteht sich von selbst, daß auch das Entsorgungsproblem sowohl der Verpackung als auch der Umverpackungen erheblich entschärft wird, da die neue Verpackung praktisch auch als "Einstoffpackung" ausführbar ist.The magazine-wise arrangement of pharmaceutical articles such as Tablets, a very dense, compact packaging compared to the known solutions with comparable sealing properties is achieved through the use of separate deep-drawing bowls. As a result, the total use of materials can be significantly reduced, for example, a film saving of 40% can be achieved and a reduction in outer and shipping packaging (folding boxes, etc.), which leads to significant cost reductions on the one hand due to the associated material savings, and on the other hand due to a reduction in storage and leads transport volumes. It goes without saying that the disposal problem of both the packaging and the outer packaging is considerably alleviated, since the new packaging can practically also be carried out as a "single-component package".
Im folgenden wird ein Ausführungsbeispiel der erfindungsgemäßen Verpackung anhand der Zeichnungen erläutert.An exemplary embodiment of the packaging according to the invention is explained below with reference to the drawings.

Die in Fig. 1 in ihren Bestandteilen dargestellte Verpackung besteht zunächst aus einem länglichen Tiefziehteil 11, in das eine gerade Tiefziehrinne 17 eingebracht ist, in der die stückigen Güter, hier Tabletten, reihenweise magazinartig untergebracht sind.The packaging shown in FIG. 1 in its components initially consists of an elongated deep-drawn
An ihrem einen (in der Figur linken) Ende weist die Abdeckfolie einen Randabschnitt 11a auf, der durch Aufbrechen einer Abbruchkante 16 vom Tiefziehteil 11 lösbar ist (Fig. 1A). Da das Aufbrechen der Abbruchkante 16 irreversibel ist, dienen diese Merkmale zur Bildung eines "Garantieverschlusses", d.h., eine einmal geöffnete Packung ist als solche sofort erkennbar, was besonders bei pharmazeutischen Produkten sehr wichtig ist.At one end (on the left in the figure), the cover film has an
Der zweite Bestandteil der Verpackung ist eine Abdeckfolie 12, deren Abmessungen im wesentlichen den Außenabmessungen des Tiefziehteils 11 entsprechen, mit der Ausnahme, daß sich das eine (in der Zeichnung linke) Ende der Abdeckfolie 12 lediglich bis zur Abbruchkante 16 des Tiefziehteils erstreckt. In der Abdeckfolie 12 ist eine Perforierungslinie oder Stanzlinie 13 eingebracht, die eine Klappe 14 definiert. Diese Perforierungslinie 13 bzw. die Klappe 14 ist so in der Abdeckfolie 12 angeordnet, daß sie bei ihrer Aufbringung auf das Tiefziehteil (Fig. 2) über der linken Tablette innerhalb der Tiefziehrinne 17 zu liegen kommt und ist so dimensioniert, daß bei geöffneter Klappe 14 nur diese eine Tablette leicht aus dem Tiefziehteil 11 herausgenommen werden kann. Die Abdeckfolie 12 ist in bekannter Weise auf das Tiefziehteil 11 aufgesiegelt oder kann auch mit diesem verklebt sein.The second component of the packaging is a
Als dritter Bestandteil der neuen Verpackung (Fig. 1C) ist eine Haftfolie 15 vorgesehen, die sich über die Klappe 14 in der Abdeckfolie 12 und den abtrennbaren Randabschnitt 11a des Tiefziehteils 11 erstreckt, wobei der linke Endabschnitt 15a der Haftfolie 15 und der abtrennbare Randabschnitt 11a des Tiefziehteils 11 eine Öffnungslasche L bilden.As a third component of the new packaging (FIG. 1C), an
Im geschlossenen Zustand der Verpackung (Fig. 2) bildet die Öffnungslasche L somit einen mehr oder weniger starren Bestandteil der Verpackung und signalisiert dem Benutzer, daß die Verpackung noch nicht geöffnet wurde. Soll erstmals ein Verpackungsgut 10 entnommen werden, so wird die Öffnungslasche L unter Abtrennung des Randabschnitts 11a des Tiefziehteils 11 nach oben gezogen (Fig. 3), und infolge der Haftwirkung der Haftfolie 15 auf der Abdeckfolie 12 wird die Klappe 14 entlang der Perforationslinie 13 mit nach oben gezogen und gibt somit eine ihrer Größe entsprechende Entnahmeöffnung für das stückige Gut 10 frei. Es versteht sich von selbst, daß die Haftkraft der Haftfolie 15 derart stark sein muß im Verhältnis zu den Perforierungen der Stanzlinie 13, daß die verbleibenden Materialbrücken zwischen Klappe 14 und Abdeckfolie 12 sicher aufgebrochen werden können.In the closed state of the packaging (FIG. 2), the opening tab L thus forms a more or less rigid component of the packaging and signals to the user that the packaging has not yet been opened. If a product to be packaged 10 is to be removed for the first time, the opening flap L is pulled upwards by separating the
Nach Entnahme eines oder mehrerer stückiger Güter 10 kann dann die Verpackung wieder verschlossen werden, indem die Haftfolie 15 mit der Klappe 14 wieder auf die Abdeckfolie 12 aufgelegt und ggf. aufgedrückt wird. Es ist jedoch ohne weiteres erkennbar, daß die Packung bereits einmal geöffnet wurde, da der Randabschnitt 11a des Tiefziehteils 11 von diesem abgetrennt ist.After removal of one or more
Beim beschriebenen ersten Ausführungbeispiel der Verpackung ist ein Tiefziehkanal 17 vorgesehen, es ist jedoch auch ohne weiteres möglich (Fig. 5), eine Verpackung so auszugestalten, daß mehrere Tiefziehkanäle 17A...17C nebeneinander in einer gemeinsamen Verpackung angeordnet sind, wobei zweckmäßigerweise durch geeignete Stanzlinien P1, P2 derartige Verpackungen in Einzelverpackungen gemäß Fign. 1-4 zerlegt werden können.In the first exemplary embodiment of the packaging described, a deep-drawing
Es ist auch nicht unbedingt erforderlich, zur Herstellung der Magazinwirkung den Tiefziehkanal 17 durchgehend rinnenförmig auszubilden, solange sichergestellt ist, daß immer nur ein stückiges Gut 10 (Tablette) unterhalb der Klappe 14 zur Entnahme bereitgehalten wird. Als Materialien für die Verpackung werden beispielsweise Kunststoffe wie Polypropylen oder Polyester verwendet, die eine ausreichende Dichtheit gewährleisten, die auch bei der Aufsiegelung oder der Verklebung von Tiefziehteil und Abdeckfolie ohne weiteres erreichbar ist.It is also not absolutely necessary to form the deep-drawing
