Definitions
- the present invention relates to containers suitable for dispensing wet wipes.
- Containers suitable for dispensing wet wipes are known in the art. Flexible containers comprising wet wipes are described in, for example, WO91/04920. The prior art also describes rigid containers suitable for dispensing wet wipes in, for example, US5791465.
- containers In order to allow the consumers convenient access to the wipes, containers generally comprise a dispensing opening. In the containers of the prior art these openings are generally situated on the upper face of the container. In order to prevent egress of moisture from the wipes, known containers generally comprise a lid or sealing device. Said sealing devices or lids can usually be repeatedly opened and resealed.
- a problem with the rigid containers of the prior art is that consumers find it difficult to access the wipes within the container. Some consumers, having larger than average fingers, find it inconvenient to reach into the dispensing opening in order to select, grip and remove a wipe. Other consumers, especially the elderly and disabled, lack dexterity and find it difficult to grip the wipes by making relatively small movements with the fingers. The difficulties of removing the wipes are compounded by the limited visibility afforded by the dispensing openings of the prior art containers. It is especially difficult to reach deep into the wipes container in order to remove the last wipe.
- a further problem with the containers of the prior art is that it is difficult to remove multiple wipes simultaneously. In the event that the consumer suddenly needs multiple wipes as quickly as possible, for example, to clean a spillage, it is very difficult to reach into, grip the multiple wipes and pull them from the container without damaging the wipes, damaging the container, squeezing the moisture from the wipes and/or abrading the skin against the edges of the container.
- DE-U-83 05 558 discloses a rigid container wherein the dispensing opening is covered by a sealing flap made with the same material as the one used to produce the container.
- US-A-5,647,506 describes a rigid container having a dispensing opening that does not extend over the top wall and at least one side wall.
- GB-A-1 002 215 discloses a paperboard-made container comprising a dispensing opening whrein said opening is not re-coverable.
- Containers according to the present invention have a number of advantages compared to alternative containers.
- Rigid containers having a top and side walls are preferable due to their more robust construction that allows them to withstand scratches and small cuts without damaging the contents of the package. Rigid containers also have a more predictable size therefore allowing them to be more easily stacked and displayed in the retail outlet and in the home. The rigidity of the container protects the contents from external pressure therefore preventing the wipes being squashed out of shape or having the moisture squeezed from the wipes so that they have uneven loading of moisture.
- Rigid containers according to the present invention comprise an opening that extends over the top and at least one side wall and which is preferably covered by a resealable sealing device.
- a resealable sealing device Such a preferred container is advantageous over containers that comprise a section that is cut, torn or pulled from the packaging to reveal an opening.
- One advantage of a resealable seal is that the wipes package can be opened and resealed as many times as is required without the moisture evaporating from the wipes. If the opening section were cut or torn away from the container, the remaining wipes would dry out soon after opening.
- a further advantage is that the consumer does not need to dispose of the section that is torn from the container. Instead, the sealing device remains conveniently attached to the container through out the lifetime of the container
- At least one manufacturer provides a rigid box comprising three separate sections, namely, the lid, the body and a flexible container comprising wipes and a resealable seal.
- the lid comprises a dispensing opening and is attached to the main body once the flexible container of wet wipes is loaded into the main body.
- the consumer In order to access then wipes, the consumer must open the dispensing opening on the lid, open the resealable seal on the flexible container, remove the wipe, reseal the flexible container then reseal the dispensing opening on the lid.
- Containers according to the present invention require only one seal to be opened and closed during use as well as requiring less separate components to assemble during the manufacturing process.
- the present invention relates to a rigid container having a top, and side walls, and having a dispensing opening extending over the top and at least one side wall, characterized in that said dispensing opening is covered by a flexible adhesive film.
- the most preferred method of removing a wipe is to reach into the container, grip a wipe between thumb and forefinger then pull the wipe from the container.
- the provision of a dispensing opening which extends over two sides of the container has a number of benefits, including improved access to the wipe, improved reach into the container, improved visibility of the wipes before and during the removal process and improved ability to remove multiple wipes simultaneously.
- the improved access to the container makes the removal of the last wipe easier.
- the provision of a dispensing opening extending over the top and one side wall of the container affords improved access to and removal of the wipes.
- the containers according to the present invention can be further improved by providing a good seal between a sealing device and the container.
- an improved seal can be achieved by providing a sealing device whose shape is pre-organized to as to closely match the shape of the surface to be sealed.
- the rigid sealing device comprises a rigid section of material 3 having similar size and shape to the section of the package that was removed in order to form the dispensing opening. More preferably, the rigid section is the same section of material that was cut from the container to form the dispensing opening.
- the rigid section 3 of the rigid sealing device preferably comprises high impact polystyrene, polypropylene, polyethylene teraphtalate, low density polyethylene, linear low density polyethylene, medium density polyethylene, high density polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene.
- the thickness of the rigid section of the sealing device is preferably from 0.01mm to 10.00mm, more preferably from 0.02mm to 5.00mm, most preferably from 0.05mm to 2.00mm.
- the type of sealing device is not restricted to these two types alone. Indeed, it is envisaged that the dispensing opening can be sealed by any manner of device including a cover that is held closed by mechanical means and can be opened by use of a switch, button or other known process.
- the container comprises a rigid adhesive sealing device.
- Said device preferably comprises a section of flexible adhesive film 4 which covers the dispensing opening and extends beyond the perimeter of said dispensing opening so as to form a seal with the container surface surrounding the dispensing opening.
- the sealing device additionally comprises a rigid section of material 3 that substantially covers the dispensing outlet.
- said rigid section of material is the material that is cut from the container in order to form the dispensing opening. Said cut out piece of material may or may not be modified after being cut out.
- the rigid section of the sealing device forms a hinge with the container.
- Suitable flexible adhesive films for use in the present invention are preferably made from paper/plastic laminate or any laminated coextruded or monolayer polymer.
- the thickness of the laminated film is from 0.001mm to 3.000mm, more preferably from 0.005mm to 1.500mm, most preferably from 0.010mm to 1.000mm.
- a preferred laminated film for use in the present invention comprises 0.1mm of polyethylene laminated with 0.025mm of polypropylene.
- these films additionally comprise a layer of adhesive.
- pressure sensitive glue is used. By pressure sensitive it is meant herein that, within reasonable limits, the adhesive force of the glue is proportional to the pressure with which the adhesive laminate is applied to the bonding surface.
- the glue is preferably a non-permanent glue such that the label can be peeled off in order to open and close the container numerous times.
- Mactac® supply a range of suitable adhesives in cluding the particularly preferred MR 978®.
- Another preffered adhesive is SFt6046® upplied by Fasson Avery®.
- Adhesion strength of the glue measured according to the FINAT test method, is preferably in the range 0.1N to 100N, more preferable from 0.5N to 50N, most preferably from 3N to 9N.
- the FINAT test method is well known to those skilled in the packaging and labeling industry and test details are published by FINAT in the FINAT technical handbook, 4 th Edition, 1995.
- Containers according to the present invention preferably comprise a loading opening on the bottom side of the container.
- the wipes are inserted into this opening during the packaging process upon manufacture. Once the wipes are inside the container the loading opening is sealed.
- the opening is sealed with a flexible film or sheet 5.
- Any suitable film or sheet known to the skilled person can be used.
- the bottom film preferably comprises any polymer material, laminated or monolayer or coextruded film or sheet. Highly preferred films include laminates comprising polyethylene teraphtalate and a polyethylene teraphtalate metallized layer. Further preferred laminates comprise polyethylene teraphtalate and linear low-density polyethylene.
- Said films further comprise a layer of adhesive. Said films are preferably sealed in place by heat sealing, ultrasonic sealing, high frequency sealing or induction sealing.
- the container is reusable.
- the loading opening is sealed by a resealable cover.
- the use of a resealable cover to cover the loading opening allows the consumer to open the container, refill the container with wipes then reseal the container.
- the use of a resealable container leads to less environmental waste and is appealing to consumers.
- the loading opening may be sealed with any film, sheet or device known to the skilled person.
- the loading opening is preferably sealed with a rigid lid or a flexible lid.
- Containers comprising a loading opening and a dispensing opening have a number of advantages over containers comprising a dispensing opening alone.
- wipes can be conveniently loaded via the loading opening.
- Containers that comprise only one opening are limited to loading via the dispensing outlet. Since the dispensing opening is usually smaller than the loading opening, the manufacturer must either bend or misshape the wipes in order to force them through.
- a rigid container having a loading opening that is sealed by a flexible film 5 requires less material than a container with rigid top, side and bottom walls. The use of less material leads to cost saving, less environmental waste and lighter packages which are cheaper to transport.
- top and side walls of containers according to the present invention are preferably manufactured by thermoforming or injection molding techniques known to those skilled in the art. Cutting of the dispensing opening can be performed by knives, laser or ultrasonic. If the container is made by injection molding, the dispensing opening can be built into the mold and created during the molding process.
- Preferred materials for making the top and sidewalls of the package are high impact polystyrene, polypropylene, polyethylene teraphtalate, low-density polyethylene, linear low-density polyethylene, medium density polyethylene, high-density polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene.
- the thickness of the top and side walls of the box is preferably from 0.01mm to 10.00mm, more preferably from 0.02mm to 5.00mm, most preferably from 0.05mm to 2.00mm
- Containers according to the present invention are rigid. By “rigid” it is meant that when a container is loaded on the top side, according to the “Topload Strength Method” disclosed in DIN55440 or ISO2872, with a mass preferably from 0.1kg to 25.0kg, the horizontal displacement of the container will decrease by less than 10%, preferably less than 5%. Containers whose horizontal displacement reduces by more than 10% when loaded with from 0.1kg to 25.0kg are, for the purposes of this invention, flexible.
- Containers according to the present invention may be of any reasonable length, width and depth.
- Said containers preferably have a length of 5mm to 1000mm, more preferably from 20mm to 500mm most preferably from 110mm to 220mm.
- Said containers preferably have a width of 5mm to 1000mm, more preferably from 20mm to 500mm, most preferably from 80mm to 150mm.
