Definitions

  • the invention relates to a package for packaging a cuboid article such as a book or a box of chocolates, comprising an envelope and a liner according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • both the envelope and the liner each have three segments lying in a row, wherein for packaging the outer segments can be folded in towards the middle segment and with the envelope being arranged at right angles to the insert and in the folded-in state overlapping the outer segments of the envelope,
  • corrugated cardboard packaging is not suitable for aesthetically high-quality packaging. If other, finer and softer materials are used in place of the corrugated cardboard, so there is a risk of loss of the packaged goods by shaking out the inner flaps, even if they originally run to the middle of the package.
  • NL 1011389 discloses all features according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the previous packaging also has the disadvantage that objects of different sizes can also be packed with them, but that they have deformations on the packaging material after unpacking, such as, for example, bending the corrugations of the double-sided corrugated board as bending lines (cf., CH 683 831 A5 and CH 687 194 A5).
  • the present invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a package of the type mentioned above, which offers the opportunity to be aesthetically superior and at the same time can be used for shipping purposes.
  • the outer segments of the inner flap should always overlap, whereby the possibility is given to attach these segments, for example by an adhesive.
  • the choice of material of the shell should be designed such that it can be returned to the original state without deformation after repeated use.
  • the packaging is particularly suitable, cuboid packaged, so in particular books, video cassettes, CD's, etc. individually variable to the size of the object to be packaged to adapt comprehensively to seal and represent an aesthetically high-quality, extremely time-saving and protection-offering Varpackungsdorfkeit.
  • this packaging can be attached by their Hatl mecanics. an information carrier a variety of decoration and information options is allowed.
  • a package is created, which, in addition to a variable packaging possibility depending on the size of the article to be packaged and a deformation-free, at any time traceability to the original state allows and thus suitable for deformation-free multiple use.
  • This tubular and flexible Functionality can also be created by using cardboard instead of corrugated cardboard, which has bending lines running parallel to it and thus adapts flexibly to the packaged material.
  • a corrugated or grooved material need not necessarily be used , because purely by the wrapping of the packaged goods and the strength of the material arise two mutually perpendicular, the packaged enclosing tubes, which provide the necessary stability of the overall packaging.
  • this packaging should not only be used for shipping purposes, but meet high aesthetic standards, in particular to serve as gift packaging.
  • the ability to attach an information carrier such as a gift card on the packaging, increases the various uses that are created with the present invention.
  • One embodiment is that it creates a time-saving and aesthetically high-quality packaging option for books.
  • this novel packaging has the great advantage that a packaging material such as a book, for example, a book very quickly and easily, aesthetically high quality can be packed and at the same time by the material used for packaging such as corrugated cardboard and / or in comparison to conventional wrapping with wrapping paper Grooved cardboard is provided for conventional wrapping paper considerably greater protection of the packaging material.
  • the present invention may also be used, for example, for giveaway actions ideally.
  • a credit card company can package their giveaway, for example a book, a chocolate box, etc. with it, while additionally discreetly enclosing the gift with an information carrier, here a credit card, inside the case. This will make the credit card visible to the customer after opening the package.
  • an information carrier here a credit card
  • the package shown in Figure 1 consists of an envelope (1) and an insert (2), wherein both the envelope of three sections (1a, 1b, 1c) and the insert of three sections (2a, 2b, 2c) exist.
  • the envelope (1) and / or the insert (2) may for example consist of single-sided corrugated cardboard, wherein the waves of the envelope (1) extend at right angles to the waves of the insert. If the insert (2) and / or the envelope (1) are made, for example, from a cardboard, the insert (2) and / or the envelope (1), on which bends bend lines (12) are attached, can also be flexible attach to the packaged goods.
  • the packaged article (3) for example a book, is packaged in such a way that first the section 2c is wrapped around the packaged article and, subsequently, the section 2a, to which a bonding agent (4), for example a self-adhesive or Velcro is attached, from the other side is beaten around the packaging.
  • the two sections 2a and 2c are connected to each other at the overlapping point, whereby the packaged goods are fixed in a direction closed around.
  • the section 1c of the envelope is placed over the now enclosed by the insert packaged and then the final, complete enclosure section 1a of the envelope, which is also provided with a means for bonding (5), for example, a self-adhesive or Velcro , placed over the section 1 c and connected to this.
  • the perforation (13) which encloses the means for gluing partially or completely or extends over the flap width of the envelope, allows easy opening of the sealed package by tearing at the perforation lines.
  • the upper side of the turn-up section 1b shown in FIG. 3 has, in the central region, two mutually opposite, semicircular punches (6a, 6b).
  • the information carrier (7) for example a gift card, can thereby be pushed under these semicircular tabs which fix it without a fixed connection, for example bonding. This design allows the repeated inclusion and removal of the information carrier without the packaging or the information carrier will be damaged.
  • the upper side of the turn-up section 1b shown in FIG. 4 has a punched-out section (8).
  • the opening created by the punching causes the insert section 2b to form the rear wall in the region of the opening.
  • Section 1b of the cover and section 2b of the insert are firmly connected to each other in such a way that the bonding, for example the glue guide (9), as close to the opening created by the punching done, with no glue under the tabs 6a and 6b out becomes.
  • This construction allows the insertion of an information carrier, such as a gift card, in the punched-out opening, wherein the punch edges the side of the information carrier and the tabs (6a, 6b) fix him forward.
  • the package shown in Figs. 5 and 6 shows a variant of the detachable connection of the envelope and insert.
  • the upper side of the turn-up section 1 b shown in FIG. 5 has, in the central region, two semicircular punches which form the flaps 10 a and 10 b. 6 shows the rectangular punches corresponding to the tabs 10a and 10b in the region of the insert section 2b (11a, 11b).
  • the tab 10a is passed through the punch 11a and the tab 10b through the punch 11b, whereby the envelope and insert are fixed to each other rectangular.
  • the envelope and the insert is connected to each other.
