Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a box with a transparent cover, specially adapted to realize packagings of sweets, chocolates, pralines and the like.
  • Boxes for packaging of sweets, chocolates and the like usually comprise a rigid container and a rigid cover, made of plastic.
  • the cover is normally transparent, so as to make the content of the box visible.
  • the box is usually closed and sealed with an external, protective plastic film.
  • the packaging thus realized usually comprise some distinctive elements, like pictures, writings or decorations in general, that identify the product and make it recognizable, or even improve the look of the packaging and make it more attractive.
  • these distinctive elements comprise a colour that further facilitates the identification of the product.
  • An example is given by packagings having different coloured illustrations and decorations for dark and milk chocolates.
  • the distinctive elements may comprise illustrations, writings and other decorations which are printed on a label or a band of paper or thin cardboard, applied externally onto the plastic film.
  • illustrations or writings are printed directly on the plastic film, which is usually coloured; further distinctive elements may be coloured bands, relief cardboard elements and similar.
  • the main inconvenience is that the above-described realization method is not very practical and economic for obtaining a variety of packagings that may be easily differentiated by means of distinctive elements, according to the product they are to contain.
  • Packagings having a damaged, crooked or not centered label are less recognizable and may give the consumer a sensation of low quality.
  • a box comprising a container and a transparent cover according to the preamble of claim 1, is known from DE 85 30 169 U. Said box can solve only partially the above problems: in particular, it has to be noted that the cardboard is a plane sheet and is not suitable to cover the edges of the box, which in a chocolate box are usually empty or less rich in product, resulting less attractive for the client.
  • the aim of the invention is to eliminate or reduce the aforesaid inconveniences.
  • a first aim is to realize a box with a transparent cover, specially for sweets, chocolates, pralines and the like, adapted to easily and economically realize a variety of packagings that may be differentiated by means of distinctive elements for characterization and individualization.
  • a further aim is to realize a box for packagings in which the distinctive elements are protected from damages that may occur during transport and storage.
  • Another aim of the invention is to realize a box having a transparent cover through which only the central part of the inside of said box is visible, usually rich in product, while the edges are covered.
  • a box specially adapted to realize packagings of products such as sweets, chocolates and the like, comprising at least a container and a transparent cover according to claim 1.
  • the invention allows to realize a variety of different packagings, simply by changing the cardboard placed between the container and the cover, as the distinctive elements are associated to said cardboard.
  • the distinctive elements may be realized with minimum cost and a satisfactory result, by means of illustrations, writings and other graphic elements, including colours, which all identify and characterize the product, printed on the upper face of said cardboard.
  • a further decoration and distinction element having immediate visual impact and very low cost, may be realized by means of a solution of continuity of said cardboard, showing the products.
  • the box according to the invention allows therefore to realize packagings with different characterizations but using the same container and cover, with considerably cost reduction.
  • the cardboard interposed between the container and the transparent cover is protected by the cover itself and is not damaged during transport, movement and storing.
  • An advantageous effect of the invention is that the cardboard with said lateral edges can better cover the edge portion of the box which is usually empty and then less attractive for the client.
  • said lateral edges also comprise tongues to keep the cardboard stable and centered, inserting between the sides of the container and the tray.
  • Still another advantage is that by means of a cardboard having said solution of continuity substantially centered, only the central part of the inside of the box is made visible, while perimetral edges that may be empty and therefore unaesthetic are hidden by the cardboard itself.
  • the box according to the present invention essentially comprises a container 1, a transparent cover 2 and a die-cut cardboard 3.
  • Said cardboard 3 is placed above the products, between the container 1 and the cover 2, and comprises distinctive elements for individualizing and characterizing the packaging or the products contained therein.
  • Said distinctive elements advantageously comprise illustrations, writings, colours or decorations in general, printed on the upper face of the cardboard 3, that are visible through the transparent cover 2 also when the box is closed.
  • Said distinctive elements advantageously comprise also a solution of continuity 4 of the cardboard 3, showing part of the inside of the box and the products contained therein.
  • the solution of continuity 4 may be in a decorative shape, for example in the shape of a bow, as shown in the figures. Said solution of continuity can be realized during the cutting of the pasteboard 3, giving a decoration element of immediate visual impact at a very low cost.
  • the solution of continuity 4 is advantageously at the center of the cardboard 3, so as to show only the central part of the inside of the box, which usually is rich in products, and not the lateral edges of the box, that might be empty and give the consumer the negative impression that the box is not completely full.
  • the cardboard 3 comprises lateral edges 5 separated by angular cuts 6, that are inward foldable so as to follow the sides of the cover 2. Creasings 7 are provided for facilitating the folding of said lateral edges 5.
  • said lateral edges 5 also comprise tongues 8 that are extending along the edges of the container 1 when the box is closed.
  • Said tongues 8 may be provided on every edge of the cardboard or on some of them, as in the shown example.
  • the tongues 8 keep the cardboard 3 stable and centered, inserting between the sides of the container 1 and the tray 9.
  • the lateral edges 5 and tongues 8 facilitate the insertion of the cardboard 3 into the box, and allow the cardboard 3 to be elastically associated to the cover 2, preventing said cardboard from falling when the box is opened.
  • a transparent plastic film may also be provided, wrapping up the box externally.
  • the cardboard 3 is protected by the cover 2 and therefore cannot be damaged during transport and moving.
  • Said container 1 and cover 2 are rigid and advantageously made of plastic material; they can be rectangular as shown in the figures, or have other shape and proportions, according to the different cases.
  • the cardboard 3 is advantageously realized with a material suitable for contact with food.
  • the invention is particularly suitable for packagings of sweets, chocolates and the like, but it is also applicable for realizing packagings for other products, for the same purposes and obtaining the same advantages described above.
