    In den Zeichnungen sind Gebindepackungen für Zigaretten als bevorzugtes Anwendungsbeispiel dargestellt. Eine derartige Gebindepackung besteht aus mehreren, nämlich zehn Zigarettenpackungen 10. Diese sind in üblicher Weise quaderförmig ausgebildet. Es kann sich dabei um Weichbecherpackungen handeln. Bei den gezeigten Ausführungsbeispielen sind Zigarettenpackungen 10 des Typs Klappschachtel bzw. Hinge-Lid gezeigt, also Zigarettenpackungen 10 mit einem Schachtelteil 11 und einem Deckel 12.In the drawings, packs of cigarettes are preferred Application example shown. Such a pack consists of several, namely ten packs of cigarettes 10. These are cuboid in the usual way. It can be a soft cup pack. In the shown Exemplary embodiments are cigarette packs 10 of the Type of hinged box or hinge lid shown, i.e. cigarette packs 10 with a box part 11 and a lid 12.

    Die Gruppe von (zehn) Zigarettenpackungen 10 ist innerhalb der Gebindepackung in zwei Packungsreihen 13, 14 positioniert. Innerhalb jeder Packungsreihe 13, 14 liegen die Zigarettenpackungen 10 mit schmalen, aufrechten Seitenflächen 15 aneinander. Dies bedeutet weiterhin, daß jeweils zwei Zigarettenpackungen 10 benachbarter Packungsreihen 13, 14 mit Vorderseite 16 und Rückseite 17 aneinanderliegen.The group of (ten) cigarette packs 10 is within the Container pack positioned in two pack rows 13, 14. Within each pack row 13, 14 are the cigarette packs 10 with narrow, upright side surfaces 15 together. This also means that two packs of cigarettes each 10 adjacent pack rows 13, 14 with front 16 and Back 17 lie together.

    Die so ausgebildete Gruppe aus Zigarettenpackungen 10 ist als Einheit von einem Gebinde-Zuschnitt 18 umgeben. Dieser besteht im vorliegenden Falle aus dünnem Karton. Der Gebinde-Zuschnitt 18 ist so aufgebaut (Fig. 3, Fig. 6, Fig. 9), daß eine großflächige, rechteckige Vorderwand 19 und eine entsprechend ausgebildete Rückwand 20 einander gegenüberliegen. Zwischen diesen ist eine langgestreckte, schmalere Seitenwand 21 positioniert. Eine zu dieser gegenüberliegende entsprechende Seitenwand 22 ist als randseitiger Lappen des Gebinde-Zuschnitts 18 ausgebildet und mit einem gegenüberliegenden Randstreifen 23 durch Klebung verbunden. Mit der Rückwand 20 und der Seitenwand 21 sind Stirnlappen 24, 25 verbunden. Diese werden zur Bildung einer Stirnwand der Gebindepackung von einem Decklappen 26 überdeckt, der im wesentlichen die Größe der Stirnwand aufweist und mit der Vorderwand 19 verbunden ist.The group of cigarette packs 10 thus formed is as Unit surrounded by a package blank 18. This exists in the present case from thin cardboard. The container cut 18 is constructed (Fig. 3, Fig. 6, Fig. 9) that a large area, rectangular front wall 19 and a correspondingly trained Rear wall 20 face each other. Between these an elongated, narrower side wall 21 is positioned. A corresponding side wall 22 opposite this is designed as an edge-side tab of the container blank 18 and with an opposite edge strip 23 by gluing connected. With the rear wall 20 and the side wall 21 End flaps 24, 25 connected. These become a End wall of the pack covered by a cover tab 26, which essentially has the size of the front wall and with the front wall 19 is connected.

    Eine Besonderheit der Gebindepackung besteht darin, daß ein Teilstück des Gebinde-Zuschnitts 18 als heraustrennbarer bzw. abtrennbarer Druckträger, Coupon oder dergleichen dient. Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 1 bis Fig. 6 ist eine Packungswand, nämlich die Vorderwand 19, mit einem langgestreckten Druckträger 27 als heraustrennbarem Teilstück versehen. Der Druckträger 27 ist durch eine Schwächungslinie markiert, nämlich durch eine Perforationslinie 28. Diese ermöglicht das vollständige Heraustrennen des Druckträgers 27.A peculiarity of the packaging is that a Section of the container blank 18 as a removable or detachable print carrier, coupon or the like is used. at the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 6 is a Packing wall, namely the front wall 19, with an elongated Print carrier 27 provided as a detachable section. The print carrier 27 is marked by a line of weakness, namely by a perforation line 28. This enables the complete removal of the print carrier 27.

    Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 1 bis Fig. 3 ist der langgestreckte Druckträger 27 durch eine ringsherumlaufende, geschlossene Perforationslinie 28 begrenzt. An einem Ende des rechteckigen Druckträgers 27 ist - ebenfalls durch die Perforationslinie 28 - ein zungenförmiger Vorsprung 29 definiert, der beim Heraustrennen des Druckträgers 27 zuerst freigelegt wird und dann als Anfaßende des Druckträgers 27 dient. Zum erleichterten Erfassen des Vorsprungs 29 kann im Bereich desselben die Perforationslinie 28 in einem Teilbereich als durchgehende Stanzlinie ausgebildet sein, vorzugsweise entlang der gebogenen Kontur des Vorsprungs 29.In the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 3, the elongated pressure carrier 27 by a circumferential, closed perforation line 28 limited. At one end of the rectangular print carrier 27 is - also through the perforation line 28 - defines a tongue-shaped projection 29 which when removing the print carrier 27 is first exposed and then serves as the handle of the print carrier 27. To make it easier Detection of the projection 29 can in the same area Perforation line 28 in a partial area as a continuous Be formed stamping line, preferably along the curved Contour of the projection 29.

    Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 4 bis Fig. 6 ist der Druckträger 27 insgesamt rechteckig ausgebildet. An einem Rand desselben ist durch Stanzen eine Ausnehmung 30 in der Packungswand, also in der Vorderwand 19, gebildet. Diese legt einen Querrand 31 des Druckträgers 27 frei, der zum Heraustrennen desselben von Hand erfaßt werden kann.4 to 6 is the Print carrier 27 is generally rectangular. On an edge by punching there is a recess 30 in the packing wall, that is, formed in the front wall 19. This puts you Transverse edge 31 of the print carrier 27 free, which can be separated it can be grasped by hand.

    Der Druckträger 27 bzw. das heraustrennbare Teilstück des Gebinde-Zuschnitts 18 erstreckt sich vorzugsweise über einen solchen Bereich, daß alle Zigarettenpackungen 10 der dem Druckträger 27 zugekehrten Packungsreihe 14 durch die gebildete Öffnung in der Vorderwand 19 erkennbar sind. Der Druckträger 27 ermöglicht deshalb auch die Kontrolle des Inhalts der Gebindepackung nach dem Heraustrennen. Wie aus Fig. 2 und Fig. 5 ersichtlich, werden die Vorderseiten 16 der Zigarettenpackungen 10 der betreffenden Packungsreihe 14 sichtbar im Bereich eines durch den herausgetrennten Druckträger 27 freigelegten Fensters erkennbar.The pressure carrier 27 or the detachable section of the container blank 18 preferably extends over one Area that all the cigarette packs 10 of the print carrier 27 facing pack row 14 through the opening formed can be seen in the front wall 19. The print carrier 27 enables hence the control of the contents of the packaging after detaching. As can be seen from FIGS. 2 and 5, the front sides 16 of the cigarette packs 10 of the concerned Pack row 14 visible in the area of a through the separated print carrier 27 exposed window recognizable.

    Der Druckträger kann auch (zusätzlich oder alternativ) im Bereich anderer Packungswände angebracht sein, zum Beispiel in der schmalen Seitenwand 21. Auch kann die geometrische Gestaltung - je nach Verwendungszweck - unterschiedlich ausgebildet sein. Unterhalb des Druckträgers 27 kann eine Beilage bzw. Zugabe zu der Gebindepackung positioniert sein, die beim Heraustrennen des Druckträgers 27 freiliegt und separat der Gebindepackung entnommen werden kann. Bei der Gebindepackung gemäß Fig. 7 bis Fig. 9 ist im Bereich einer schmalen Seitenwand des Gebinde-Zuschnitts 18 ein Packungsverschluß gebildet. Dieser besteht aus zwei einander ganz oder teilweise überdeckenden Verschlußlappen, nämlich einem äußeren Decklappen 32 und einem Innenlappen 33. Diese Lappen sind mit angrenzenden Packungswänden verbunden, nämlich mit Vorderwand 19 und Rückwand 20.The print carrier can also (additionally or alternatively) in the area other packing walls, for example in the narrow side wall 21. Also the geometric design - Different training depending on the purpose his. An insert or addition can be placed below the print carrier 27 to be positioned to the pack, which when separating of the print carrier 27 is exposed and separately from the pack can be removed. When packaging in accordance with Fig. 7 to Fig. 9 is in the region of a narrow side wall of the Container blank 18 formed a package closure. This consists of two completely or partially overlapping each other Sealing flaps, namely an outer cover flap 32 and one Inner tabs 33. These tabs are with adjacent packing walls connected, namely with front wall 19 and rear wall 20.

    Der eine dieser Verschlußlappen, nämlich der Innenlappen 33, dient im vorliegenden Falle als vom Gebinde-Zuschnitt 18 abtrennbarer Druckträger. Zu diesem Zweck ist eine zwischen dem Innenlappen 33 und der angrenzenden Vorderwand 19 gebildete Faltkante als Schwächungslinie bzw. Perforationslinie 34 ausgebildet. Dadurch kann der Innenlappen 33 insgesamt vom Gebinde-Zuschnitt 18 abgetrennt werden. Der Innenlappen 33 ist zu diesem Zweck mindestens einseitig, nämlich auf der nach außen bzw. oben weisenden Seite, mit einer Bedruckung, Informationen oder einem Dekor versehen. Zur Verwendung als Coupon kann der Innenlappen 33 insgesamt vom Gebinde-Zuschnitt 18 abgetrennt werden über die Perforationslinie 34.One of these sealing flaps, namely the inner flap 33, serves in the present case as separable from the package blank 18 Print carrier. For this purpose, there is a between the Inner tab 33 and the adjacent front wall 19 formed Folded edge formed as a line of weakness or perforation 34. As a result, the inner tab 33 can be cut from the package as a whole 18 are separated. The inner tab 33 is to this Purpose at least one-sided, namely on the outside or top side, with printing, information or decorate. The inner tab can be used as a coupon 33 are separated from the package blank 18 in total over the perforation line 34.

    Der Innenlappen 33 ist doppellagig ausgebildet, um die für die Bedruckung zur Verfügung stehende Nutzfläche zu vergrößern.

Der Innenlappen 33 bzw. der Teillappen 36 ist dabei so bemessen, daß ein äußerer Rand des Innenlappens 33 mit Abstand vom freien Rand des Decklappens 32 positioniert ist. Es entsteht dadurch ein freier Randstreifen am Decklappen 32. Dieser kann beim Öffnen der Packung erfaßt werden. Durch Öffnen des Decklappens 32 wird der Innenlappen 33 mit angehoben.

Die Haltezunge 39 ist durch einen U-förmigen Stanzschnitt 40 gebildet. Der freie Rand des Innenlappens 33 bzw. des Teillappens 36 wird in den Stanzschnitt 40 eingeschoben und so durch die Haltezunge 39 fixiert (Fig. 7).In the closed position or in an intermediate opening position according to Fig. 7, for example for attaching tax markings on upward-facing bottom surfaces of the cigarette packs 10, the partial flap 36 is fixed to the partial flap 37, namely by a retaining tongue 39 in the partial lobe 37. The retaining tongue 39 is formed by a U-shaped punch cut 40. The free edge of the inner tab 33 or the partial tab 36 is in the punch cut 40 inserted and thus fixed by the retaining tongue 39 (Fig. 7).

    In Schließstellung der Packung ist bei dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel der Decklappen 32 unmittelbar mit einem randseitigen Bereich des Innenlappens 33 bzw. des Teillappens 37 verbunden, und zwar durch einen Leimpunkt 41 im Bereich der Haltezunge 39. Zum Öffnen der Packung wird der Decklappen 32 von der Haltezunge 39 gelöst und sodann in die Öffnungsstellung geschwenkt (Fig. 8).In the closed position of the pack is in the embodiment shown the cover flap 32 directly with an edge Area of the inner tab 33 or the partial tab 37 connected, namely by a glue point 41 in the region of the holding tongue 39. To open the pack, the cover flap 32 is removed from the Retaining tongue 39 released and then pivoted into the open position (Fig. 8).

    Der Innenlappen 33 als Druckträger kann auch so ausgebildet werden, daß eine Teilung der Teillappen 36, 37 voneinander möglich ist, zum Beispiel durch Ausbildung der Faltlinie 35 als Perforationslinie. The inner tab 33 as a pressure carrier can also be designed in this way be that a division of the partial lobes 36, 37 from each other is, for example by forming the fold line 35 as Perforation.
