Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for packaging a product in the form of a sample, and in particular of a cosmetic product.
  • cosmetic product is meant within the meaning of the present invention a product as defined in Directive 93/35 / EEC of June 14, 1993 amending the Directive 76/768 / EEC.
  • Cosmetic products such as skincare creams for example often part of a range of products formed by several specific creams, intended for example for different applications.
  • the same product range includes a day, night cream, eye cream, etc.
  • you markets one of the products in such a range it may be worthwhile to combine it with a sample of another product from the same range so as to make the entire range known to the user.
  • such commercial operation should not generate additional cost too important.
  • a sample of product is by definition a relatively low dose of product, which is therefore packaged in a small container on which it is difficult enter all the desired information. It is therefore necessary to register them on a separate element, which complicates the handling of such a sample by especially when it must be associated, on the packaging lines, with the product marketed.
  • the sheet with an indication relating to the product serving as housing for the sachet which contains the dose of sample product gives a space-saving product sample which nevertheless includes all the information required to distribute this sample.
  • the sheet and bag being two separate elements, they can be made separately one on the other in a classic and inexpensive way. The sample can further easily be handled since there is only one element to handle.
  • the sachet surrounded by a sheet is also easier to handle than a sachet alone.
  • the shape of the housing can be substantially identical to the shape of the bag of so that the sachet is perfectly held inside the sheet.
  • the sheet protects the sachet from the outside.
  • the bag can be held in the housing by tightening.
  • the bag can in particular have at least two opposite edges arranged in contact squeezing with two portions of the leaf.
  • the sheet forming the housing for the bag can be folded so that form at least one closed housing on three sides. We can easily insert the bag into the housing, after folding the sheet, from the side open without the sachet coming out of the housing since it comes in stop against the closed sides of the housing.
  • the sheet containing the indications relating to the product may be made of paper.
  • the bag can be substantially flat, and in particular produced by two sheets heat-sealed together.
  • the sheets can be made of material thermoplastic, or a metallo-plastic complex, in particular a aluminum-plastic complex. It is for example an aluminum complex, polyethylene and polyethylene terephthalate. Both sheets can be made of identical or different material, one of the sheets being able to be thermoplastic material and the other in an aluminum-plastic complex.
  • the invention relates to a set of packaging of a product, in particular a cosmetic product, comprising a container, in particular in the form of a pot, a tube or a bottle, the container containing a first cosmetic product and being housed in a packaging, in particular in the form of a case or box, the assembly comprising a packaging device in the form of a sample as just described previously.
  • the sample conditioning device can be housed in the case or the box, for example on the container.
  • the packaging device 10 in the form of a sample shown in FIG. 1 comprises, on the one hand, a sheet 20 and, on the other hand, a sachet 30 containing a product P 2 .
  • the bag 30 shown in Figures 2 and 3 is substantially flat and consists of two sheets 35 and 36 of rectangular shape, each of the sheets being formed of an aluminum-plastic complex, for example an aluminum complex, polyethylene and polyethylene terephthalate.
  • the bag 30 has, for example, a capacity of about 1 ml.
  • the product P 2 intended to form a sample dose, is contained inside the sachet thus formed.
  • three edges 31, 32 and 33 of the two sheets 35 and 36 are heat sealed and the volume thus formed is filled with a dose of product P 2 .
  • Then heat seal the last side 34 of the bag to close it tightly.
  • the last closed side 34 may be, as in the example illustrated, one of the widths of the bag, or even one of the lengths of the bag.
  • the external face of one or both sheets may or may not be printed beforehand with an indication relating to the product P 2 .
  • the sheet 20 represented in FIG. 4 is for example a sheet of paper on which information A relating to the product P 2 is printed, in particular indications relating to the identification of the product, to its brand or trade name, to a marketing argument , the list of ingredients, but also the legal information such as the capacity, the address and the code of the packer, etc ...
  • the printing is made by any known technique, in particular by serigraphy, typography, flexography, or by offset.
  • the sheet 20 may include indications A on only one of its faces or even on its two faces.
  • the sheet 20 is substantially rectangular of width l approximately equal to 16 cm and of length L approximately equal to 30 cm.
  • the sheet is folded in several fold lines so as to obtain a relatively flat compact assembly, of reduced size, formed by a superposition of several layers.
  • At least a rectangular housing 40 is formed between two layers of sheet, the housing being closed on three sides 41, 42 and 43.
  • the bag 30 is placed on the sheet 20, as we see it in figure 4.
  • the sheet 20 is then folded in accordion according to five fold lines 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 parallel to each other and to edges a and b of the sheet forming its width l, as illustrated in FIG. 5.
  • the sheet thus folded is folded along four fold lines 26, 27, 28 and 29, parallel to each other and to the edges c and d of the sheet forming its length L before folding, each line separating five sides I, II, III, IV and V.
  • the faces are folded over the side IV in which the bag is housed.
  • the last two sides II and V which come into contact with each other can be glued together by one or several dots of glue to keep a relatively flat whole, everything allowing a user to peel them off to fully unfold the sheet.
  • the assembly thus obtained, illustrated in FIG. 1, is of rectangular shape, of width approximately equal to 3.3 cm and length approximately equal to 5 cm.
  • the bag is then contained in a housing 40 in the form of a pocket closed on three sides 41, 42 and 43, the dimensions of the housing 40 corresponding substantially to the dimensions of the bag 30.
  • two of the sides 41 and 43 delimiting the housing are in tight contact with the edges 31 and 32 of the bag so as to wedge it inside the sheet.
  • the way of folding the sheet 20 which has just been described is not than a folding example and that the sheet can be folded differently. It is necessary however that the sheet is folded so as to delimit a housing allowing to receive a sachet.
  • the bag 30 in a housing 40 closed on only two sides 41 and 43, the bag being held by tightening on both sides.
  • the housing can be wider and longer than the bag, and closed on three sides or even even on four sides only if the bag is placed on the sheet before folding.
  • the packaging device 10 thus obtained can be associated with a packaging assembly 100 constituted by an article 110, for example a jar containing a first product P 1 .
  • the pot 110 is housed in a package 120, for example a cardboard box.
  • the bag 30 housed in the sheet 20 can be introduced into the box 120, on a packaging line, manually or even automatically. It can for example be placed on the pot, as shown in Figure 7 or even next to the pot.
  • the product P 1 can be an anti-wrinkle care cream for the face
  • the product P 2 can be an anti-wrinkle care cream for the eye area.
  • the indications A written on the sheet 20 relate, not to the product P 2 contained in the sachet, but to the product P 1 contained in the pot 110.
  • the sheet 20 may also include indications relating to other products of the range of products to which the product P 1 contained in the pot belongs.
  • the packaging device 10 can also be used to contain any other cosmetic product, for example a hair care cream and be associated with a bottle containing a coloring product.
  • the conditioning device 10 in the form of a sample can be distributed alone, i.e. without being associated with a set of packaging 100 containing an article.
