Definitions

  • the present invention relates to packaging for holding together a plurality of products or portions of a product, which have already been individually wrapped in packaging material.
  • the invention relates to packaging which contains a plurality of packed units of a particular product, with the said packed units arranged in a juxtaposed or stacked configuration and held together by a retaining element which holds them in the said configuration and is constituted by a self-adhesive element applied to the adjacent sides of the packed units.
  • Packaging of the type described above is known and used on an industrial scale, in particular to pack baked goods such as cake or other snack bars: for example the product marketed by the Applicant under the trade name "KINDER FETTA AL LATTE".
  • baked goods are generally flat and elongate and wrapped individually in a sheet material, the ends of which are sealed by heat bonding.
  • a self-adhesive label is used with the adhesive surface in contact with an easily detachable support such as a silicone-coated support.
  • an easily detachable support such as a silicone-coated support.
  • self-adhesive labels of around the same height as the stack, are removed from the support and attached one to each side of the stack.
  • the self-adhesive label has transverse notched or weakened tear lines, spaced by substantially the thickness of a packed unit.
  • the self-adhesive label is fixed to the side of the stack in such a way that the notched or weakened tear lines are positioned in the area separating one packed unit from the next.
  • the consumer can therefore separate a unit from the stack simply by pulling it, which causes the adhesive wrapper to tear along the notched or weakened tear line.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide packaging of the type described above which significantly reduces packaging costs and also makes it easier for the consumer to separate the individually packed units.
  • Figure 1 shows a pack 1 formed by three packed units 2 juxtaposed, or rather, in the orientation of the drawing, stacked with their larger sides 5 on top of each other. It is clear that the number of three is only used by way of example, since the pack could include any number of packed units 2, though this would generally be from two to seven, in dependence on the size of the units.
  • the packed units are generally elongate and flat; they will often be flow packed, whereby a food item or plurality of food items are wrapped in a tubular casing 3 of a sheet material suitable for contact with food which is then sealed at each end 4.
  • each wrapper is preferably a baked item or the like, with a prismatic or, preferably, parallelepiped shape; the invention could be applied, however, to elongate items such as bread sticks, long biscuits, snack bars or confectionery items such as chocolates or truffles which are not elongate but can be packed in a strip of several units.
  • the individual packed units are arranged aligned or stacked with their larger sides 5 in contact.
  • a portion of self-adhesive strip 7, without tear lines, is applied to one side, or preferably both sides of the stack, adhering to the adjacent sides 6 of the packed units.
  • the constituent characteristics of the plastics material making up the tape mean that when an initial tear is made, this tear preferably extends longitudinally.
  • the self-adhesive tape is chosen with a width which almost matches, or is slightly less than the height of the stack formed by the packed units on top of each other.
  • the self-adhesive tape is cut into portions 7 with serrated edges 8 (transverse the length of the tape) and a portion 7 is attached to the adjacent sides 6 of the packed units, arranging the serrated edges 8 parallel to the height of the stack.
  • two portions 7 are attached one to each of two opposite sides of the stack.
  • the serrated edge may follow any pattern; it is preferable, however, if a sharp corner 10 is formed between each pair of adjacent teeth 9.
  • One preferred pattern with a sharp corner between adjacent teeth is a saw or zigzag pattern (Figure 3a); other examples of toothed patterns are shown in Figures 3b-3d.
  • the pitch and dimensions of the teeth are preferably chosen so that, when the portion of self-adhesive tape is applied to the adjacent packed units, a sharp corner 10 corresponding to the recess between two adjacent teeth is in or almost in the region separating two adjacent packed units 2.
  • the sharp corner acts as a tear-initiation point whereby, once started, the tear continues through the tape, in a direction substantially orthogonal to the general direction of the serrated edge (direction which is indicated with the broken line a) in Figures 1 and 2), enabling the packed unit to be separated easily.
  • the invention thus provides packaging which involves low manufacturing costs since it requires little packaging material as well as fewer assembly operations, but is able to hold together a plurality of packed units.
  • the packaging of the invention successfully resolves the problem of separating the individual packed units, since a consumer is able to separate them easily without having to use such force that the food products contained in each individual wrapper, which may well be delicate, could be damaged.
