For non-transparent blister packs, for example, laminates made of an aluminum foil planked on both sides with a plastic film with the example structure of polyamide / aluminum / PVC or pigmented plastic films are used. The cover film is usually an aluminum film with an example thickness of 20 μm, which can be lacquered and / or coated with a heat seal lacquer.
All of the above-mentioned sheet-like materials such as paper, semi-cardboard, cardboard and plastic films in the form of monofilms, laminates, etc. can have at least one further continuous layer of sputtered or vacuum-deposited ceramic materials with a thickness of about 5 to 500 nm (nanometers) , for example Al 2 O 3 or SiO x , where x is a number between 1.5 and 2. These layers of ceramic materials have barrier properties and prevent the diffusion of gases and water vapor through the packaging.

Eine in den Fig. 1 bis 5 dargestellte Umverpakkung
10 für eine Blisterverpackung 12 von im wesentlichen streifenförmiger
Gestalt ist mit einem Bodenteil 14 aus beispielsweise Karton, einem folienförmigen
Zwischenteil 16 und einem ebenfalls folienförmigen Abdeckteil 18 -
beide Folien beispielsweise aus Polyethylenterephthalat (PET) - ausgestattet.
Die Blisterverpackung 12 - im gezeigten Beispiel eine Einportionenpackung für
eine Tablette 20 - weist einen Bodenteil 22 aus beispielsweise Polyvinylchlorid
(PVC) mit einem aus diesem herausgeformten Napf 24 zur Aufnahme der Tablette
20 und eine mit dem Bodenteil 22 versiegelte bzw. verklebte Deckelfolie
26 aus beispielsweise Aluminium auf. Der Napf 24 der Blisterverpackung 12
durchdringt eine dem Umfang des Napfes 24 angepasste Bodenöffnung 28 im
Bodenteil 14 der Umverpackung 10 und ragt vom Bodenteil 14 nach aussen ab.
Der Bodenteil 22 der Blisterverpackung 12 liegt dem Bodenteil 14 der Umverpackung
10 innenseitig an und ist mit diesem über einen Permanentkleber auf
der Basis von beispielsweise Polyurethan zumindest partiell verklebt. Anstelle
der Bodenöffnung 28 kann - sofern der Werkstoff dies erlaubt - aus dem Bodenteil
14 ebenfalls ein Napf herausgeformt sein, d.h. der Napf 24 der Blisterverpackung
12 würde in diesem Fall vom Napf im Bodenteil 14 aufgenommen.A repackaging shown in FIGS. 1 to 5

Der Zwischenteil 16 ist mit dem Bodenteil 14 bzw. mit der Blisterverpackung 12
über einen ersten Haftkleber 30 verklebt. Der dem Zwischenteil 16 aufliegende
Abdeckteil 18 ist über einen zweiten Haftkleber 32 mit dem Zwischenteil 16
verklebt und überragt den Zwischenteil 16 unter Bildung einer kleberfreien Aufreisslasche
34. An dem der Aufreisslasche 34 fernen Ende der Umverpackung
10 sind Bodenteil 14, Blisterverpackung 12, Zwischenteil 16 und Abdeckteil 18
miteinander permanent verklebt.The
In der verschlossenen Umverpackung 10 weist der zweite Haftkleber 32 zwischen
Abdeckteil 18 und Zwischenteil 16 eine geringere Klebkraft auf als der
erste Haftkleber 30 zwischen Zwischenteil 16 und Bodenteil 14 bzw. Blisterverpackung
12. Der erste Haftkleber 30 ist beispielsweise ein Kleber auf der Basis
von Polyacrylat, anderen klebenden Harzen oder ein Kleber mit einem Mikro-Verkapselungssystem.
Der zweite Haftkleber 32 ist ein Reaktivkleber dessen
Klebkraft beispielsweise in Sauerstoffatmosphäre ansteigt. Die Erhöhung der
Klebkraft kann aber auch durch andere Faktoren wie Druck, Luftfeuchte usw.
bewirkt werden.The second pressure-
Zur Entnahme der Tablette 20 wird zunächst der Abdeckteil 18 an seiner Aufreisslasche
34 ergriffen und durch eine in Pfeilrichtung A durchgeführte Öffnungsbewegung
vom darunterliegenden Zwischenteil 16 getrennt. In dieser
Position ist der zweite Haftkleber 32 frei der Umgebungsatmosphäre ausgesetzt,
wodurch sich seine Klebkraft infolge der Reaktion mit Sauerstoff soweit
erhöht, dass er die Klebkraft des ersten Haftklebers 30 übersteigt. In einem
nächsten Schritt wird der Abdeckteil 18 mit dem reagierten zweiten Haftkleber
32 in Pfeilrichtung B auf den Zwischenteil 16 zurückgelegt und mit dem Zwischenteil
über den reagierten zweiten Haftkleber 32 verbunden. Bei einer Variante
mit Mikro-Verkapselungssystem muss die Aufreisslasche 34, z.B. durch
Drücken oder Reiben zwischen Fingern, stark auf den Zwischenteil aufgepresst
werden. In einem darauffolgenden Schritt wird die Aufreisslasche 34 des Abdeckteils
18 erneut ergriffen und durch eine in Pfeilrichtung C durchgeführte
Öffnungsbewegung von der Unterlage weggezogen. Da die Klebkraft des reagierten
zweiten Haftklebers 32 nunmehr grösser ist als die Klebkraft des ersten
Haftklebers 30, erfolgt bei der Öffnungsbewegung in Pfeilrichtung C eine Trennung
zwischen dem Zwischenteil 16 und dem Bodenteil 14 bzw. der Blisterverpackung
12. Bei diesem Vorgang wird die Deckelfolie 26 der Blisterverpackung
12 freigelegt. In dieser Offenstellung kann die Tablette 20 durch Fingerdruck
auf den Napf 24 in Pfeilrichtung D durch die Deckelfolie 26 hindurchgestossen
und ausgeworfen werden. Bei einer Variante wird die Deckelfolie 26 bei der
Öffnungsbewegung in Pfeilrichtung C bereits von der Blisterverpackung 12 getrennt,
so dass die Tablette 20 ohne Durchdrücken der Deckelfolie 26 entnommen
werden kann.To remove the
Der Bodenteil 14, welcher der Stabilität der Umverpackung 10 dient, kann bei
einer anderen, in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellten Ausführungsform entfallen.
Hierbei kann der Abdeckteil 18 mit der Blisterverpackung 12 bzw. mit deren
Bodenteil 22 einstückig verbunden sein und eine Schlaufe bilden, d.h. die Umverpackung
besteht aus ein und demselben Material, z.B. aus der Blisterverpackung
bzw. deren Bodenteil.The
Fig. 6 zeigt eine streifenförmige Packung 40 mit sechs aneinandergereihten
Einzelpackungen gemäss Fig. 1. Diese sind durch linienförmige Perforationen
42 voneinander abtrennbar. Die einzelnen Umverpackungen 10 können jedoch
auch geöffnet werden ohne dass diese vom Packungsstreifen 40 abgetrennt
werden müssen.Fig. 6 shows a strip-shaped
