Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verpackung und insbesondere eine Blisterverpackung sowie ein Verfahren zum Herstellen einer solchen sowie eine Verwendung eines Klebeetiketts. Bekannte Verpackungen dieser Art sind typischerweise Mehrstoffverpackungen, bestehend aus einer bedruckten Rückseite, meistens aus Karton oder Kunststoff, mit der eine Blisterhaube versiegelt wird. Die Blisterhauben (nachfolgend auch kurz Blister genannt) sind typischerweise aus transparenten Kunststofffolien geformte, beispielsweise gezogene Näpfe mit einem im Wesentlichen ebenen Rand, der auf der Rückseite der Verpackung aufliegt und typischerweise mit einem Heißsiegelverfahren darauf befestigt wird. Der Rand hat in der Regel kleinere Abmessungen als der Karton der Rückseite. Funktional kann der Karton der Rückseite als Versteifungselement und Informationsträger, der Rand der Blisterhaube als Verbindungsungselement und der Blisternapf als Containerelement betrachtet werden.The invention relates to a packaging and in particular a blister pack and a method for producing such and a use of an adhesive label. Known packages of this type are typically multi-component packaging, consisting of a printed back, usually made of cardboard or plastic, with a blister cap is sealed. The blister covers (hereafter referred to as blisters) are typically cups formed from transparent plastic films, such as drawn cups, having a substantially planar rim which rests on the back of the package and is typically secured thereto by a heat seal process. The edge usually has smaller dimensions than the cardboard on the back. Functionally, the cardboard of the back can be regarded as a stiffening element and information carrier, the edge of the blister cap as a connecting element and the blister cup as a container element.

Andere Ausführungsformen sehen eine Blisterhaube vor, die in etwa dieselben Abmessungen wie die bedruckte Rückseite aufweisen und den entsprechenden Karton mit einem gebördelten Abschnitt mehrseitig umgreifen. Zusätzlich kann der Rand und/oder der gebördelte Abschnitt des Randes durch Kleben, Schweißen oder Tackern mit der Rückseite verbunden werden um die Verbindungssicherheit zu erhöhen.Other embodiments provide a blister hood, which have approximately the same dimensions as the printed back and surround the corresponding box with a flared portion on several sides. In addition, the edge and / or the beaded portion of the edge may be glued, Welding or tacking are connected to the back to increase the connection security.

Des Weiteren sind Doppelkarten-Blisterpackungen bekannt, die zwei bedruckte Karten, nämlich eine Rückseitenkarte sowie eine Fensterkarte, und eine Blisterhaube aufweisen. Die Blisterhaube weist wiederum einen im Wesentlichen ebenen Kunststoffrand auf, der größer als das Fenster in der Fensterkarte ist. Nach dem Einsetzen der Blisterhaube wird die Fensterkarte durch Kleben, Siegeln oder Klammerheften mit der Rückseitenkarte verbunden. Die beiden Rückseitenkarten werden dabei beispielweise in einer Siegelstation typischerweise so miteinander verbunden, dass die Kunststoff-Blisterhauben nicht mit den Karton verklebt wird, so dass nach dem Öffnen der Verpackung ein sortenreines Trennen des Verpackungsmaterials möglich ist. Im zusammengesetzten Zustand der Verpackung ist der Rand der Blisterhaube daher lose zwischen den beiden Karten angeordnet und verhindert allein aufgrund der Abmessung, dass die Blisterhaube zerstörungsfrei entfernt werden kann.Furthermore, double card blister packs are known, which have two printed cards, namely a backside card and a window card, and a blister hood. The blister cap in turn has a substantially flat plastic edge which is larger than the window in the window card. After inserting the blister hood, the window card is connected to the back card by gluing, sealing or stapling. The two backside cards are typically connected to one another, for example, in a sealing station in such a way that the plastic blister hoods are not glued to the cardboard, so that sorting of the packaging material according to type is possible after opening the packaging. In the assembled state of the packaging of the edge of the blister cap is therefore arranged loosely between the two cards and prevents only due to the dimension that the blister cap can be removed without destroying.

Auch zeigt die schweizerische Patentschrift CH 365 939 A eine derartige Verpackung, bei der es sich um eine Verpackung insbesondere für Kleingegenstände handelt. Diese Verpackung weist wenigstens einem durchsichtigen, wannenförmigen Behälter auf. Dieser Behälter enthält nach außen abstehende Randflansche, welche zwischen zwei flach aneinander liegenden, kartenförmigen Trägerteilen festgehalten werden. Die kartenförmigen Trägerteile besitzen wenigstens eine Öffnung, in die der Behälter eingesetzt ist. Problematisch bei den bekannten Blisterverpackungen ist jedoch, dass das zum Montieren notwendige Siegel- oder Klebeverfahren den Einsatz von eigens dafür vorgesehenen Siegel- oder Klebestationen erfordert, deren Umrüstung für Blisterverpackungen verschiedener Größen und Formen aufwendig ist, so dass sich der Betrieb einer solchen Maschine nur bei Herstellung großer Stückzahlen rentiert. Außerdem benötigt man für die zuletzt genannten Blisterverpackungen insgesamt drei Einzelelemente, die präzise gefertigt und sorgfältig zueinander ausgerichtet werden müssen, um in dieser Position durch Siegeln oder Kleben miteinander verbunden zu werden.Also shows the Swiss patent CH 365 939 A Such a packaging, which is a package especially for small items. This package has at least one transparent, trough-shaped container. This container contains outwardly projecting edge flanges, which are held between two flat, card-shaped carrier parts. The card-shaped carrier parts have at least one opening into which the container is inserted. A problem with the known blister packs, however, is that the necessary for mounting sealing or bonding process requires the use of specially provided seal or gluing stations, the conversion is expensive for blister packs of different sizes and shapes, so that the operation of such a machine only at Production of large quantities is profitable. In addition, you need for the last-mentioned blister packs a total of three individual elements that must be precisely manufactured and carefully aligned with each other to be connected in this position by sealing or gluing together.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, eine Blisterverpackung zu schaffen, die sich bei wenig Aufwand kostengünstig herstellen lässt.Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a blister, which can be produced inexpensively with little effort.

Ferner ist es Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein Verfahren bereit zu stellen, das die Herstellung einer solchen Blisterverpackung auf einfache Weise ermöglicht.A further object of the present invention is to provide a method which makes it possible to produce such a blister pack in a simple manner.

Ferner ist es Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Verwendung eines Klebeetiketts zur Herstellung einer Verpackung auf einfache Weise bereitzustellen.Furthermore, it is an object of the invention to provide a use of an adhesive label for producing a package in a simple manner.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch eine Verpackung gelöst, die ein Klebeetikett und einen Blister aufweist. Das Klebeetikett weist seinerseits eine Klebefläche und eine Aufdruckfläche auf, wobei es entlang einer dieses in eine Vorderseite und eine Rückseite unterteilenden Faltlinie in Richtung der Klebefläche so gefaltet ist, dass die Klebefläche der Vorderseite und die Klebefläche der Rückseite zumindest abschnittsweise aufeinander zu liegen kommen. Das Klebeetikett weist ferner auf der Vorder- und/oder Rückseite ein Fenster auf. Der Blister weist einen Napf und einen Rand auf und ist so in das Fenster eingesetzt, dass der Napf das Fenster von der Klebefläche her durchsetzt und der Rand zwischen den aufeinanderliegenden Klebeflächen der Vorder- und Rückseite des Klebeetiketts fixiert ist.The object is achieved by a package having an adhesive label and a blister. The adhesive label in turn has an adhesive surface and a printing surface, being folded along a fold line dividing it into a front side and a back side in the direction of the adhesive surface in such a way that the adhesive surface of the front side and the adhesive surface of the rear side at least partially lie on one another. The adhesive label also has a window on the front and / or back. The blister has a cup and an edge and is inserted into the window so that the cup penetrates the window from the adhesive surface and the edge between the superposed adhesive surfaces of the front and back of the adhesive label is fixed.

Die Verwendung von Klebeetiketten zur Herstellung von Blisterverpackungen ist bisher unbekannt. Sie bietet den Vorteil, dass die Blisterverpackung aus insgesamt nur zwei Teilen ohne maschinellen Aufwand - d.h. ggf. auch manuell - durch Einsetzen des Blisters in das dafür vorgesehen Fenster auf der Vorder-und/oder Rückseite des Klebeetiketts und anschließendes Falten des Klebeetiketts entlang der Faltlinie auf einfache Weise ohne Siegeln, Auftragen eines Klebers oder Heften hergestellt werden kann. Auch bietet diese Verpackung eine besonders stabile Fixierung des Blisters zwischen den beiden Klebeflächen der Vorder- und Rückseite. Insbesondere im Hinblick auf Diebstahlsicherung bei der Verpackung von werthaltigen Kleinteilen (z.B. Schmuck oder dgl.) bietet die erfindungsgemäße Verpackung daher den Vorzug, dass Sie trotz einfacher Herstellung nicht zerstörungsfrei geöffnet und der Inhalt entnommen werden kann.The use of adhesive labels for the production of blister packs is unknown. It offers the advantage that the blister pack of only two parts in total without any mechanical effort - i. possibly also manually - by inserting the blister in the designated window on the front and / or back of the adhesive label and then folding the adhesive label along the fold line can be easily made without sealing, applying an adhesive or stapling. Also, this packaging provides a particularly stable fixation of the blister between the two adhesive surfaces of the front and back. In particular, with regard to theft prevention in the packaging of valuable small parts (for example, jewelry or the like), the packaging according to the invention therefore offers the advantage that it can not be opened non-destructively and the contents removed despite simple manufacture.

Hierzu kommt ein Blister mit einem Blisternapf und einem Blisterrand zum Einsatz, der dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, dass die Außenkontur des Blisternapfes kleiner als das vorgestanzte Fenster des korrespondierenden Klebeetiketts ist.For this purpose, a blister with a blister cup and a blister edge is used, which is characterized in that the outer contour of the Blisternapfes is smaller than the pre-punched window of the corresponding adhesive label.

Ferner ist der Blisterrand größer als das vorgestanzte Fenster und zwar in einem Maße, dass die Klebeflächen der Vorderseite und der Rückseite des Etiketts eine ausreichend große Kontaktfläche mit dem Blisterrand bilden, so dass die Verpackung nicht zerstörungsfrei geöffnet werden kann.Furthermore, the blister edge is larger than the prepunched window to the extent that the adhesive surfaces of the front and the back of the label form a sufficiently large contact surface with the blister, so that the package can not be opened nondestructively.

Im Grunde ist die Anordnung, geometrische Form und Anzahl der Fenster und Blisterhauben /-näpfe je nach Form und Anzahl der zu verpackenden Produkte frei wählbar. Beispielsweise kann ein Fenster nur in der Vorderseite oder nur in der Rückseite des Klebeetiketts oder aber in beiden Seiten vorgesehen sein. Im Fall mehrere Fenster müssen diese auf der Vorderseite und der Rückseite nicht zwangsläufig nach dem Falten miteinander zur Deckung kommen. Auch muss nicht in jedes Fenster ein Blister mit einem Napf eingesetzt werden. Beispielsweise kann in eines von mehreren Fenstern eine ebene Kunststofffolie als Sichtfenster eingesetzt werden.Basically, the arrangement, geometric shape and number of windows and Blisterhauben / -näpfe depending on the shape and number of products to be packaged freely selectable. For example, a window may be provided only in the front or only in the back of the adhesive label or in both sides. In the case of several windows, they do not necessarily have to coincide with each other on the front and the back after folding. Also, a blister with a cup does not have to be inserted into each window. For example, in one of several windows a flat plastic film can be used as a viewing window.

Ist indes nur ein Fenster vorgesehen, so ist bevorzugt ein dem Fenster entsprechender Ausbruch des Klebeetiketts mit seiner Klebefläche auf der Klebefläche der gegenüberliegenden Seite des Klebeetiketts so fixiert, dass der Ausbruch mit dem Fenster des gefalteten Klebeetiketts zur Deckung kommt.If, however, only one window is provided, an opening of the adhesive label corresponding to the window with its adhesive surface on the adhesive surface of the opposite side of the adhesive label is preferably fixed in such a way that the eruption coincides with the window of the folded adhesive label.

Je nachdem, ob das Fenster auf der Vorderseite oder der Rückseite des gefalteten Klebeetiketts vorgestanzt ist, wird der Ausbruch an der dem Fenster im gefalteten Zustand entsprechenden Stelle der gegenüberliegenden Rück- bzw. Vorderseite aufgeklebt. Auch bei dieser Ausführungsform kommt man mit nur zwei Bestandteilen, nämlich dem Klebeetikett und dem Blister, zur Herstellung der Verpackung aus. Anstatt einer gesonderten, bedruckten Rückseitenkarte kann der Ausbruch des Fensters mit dem gewünschten Hintergrundmotiv für die Blisterverpackung bedruckt werden. Ein solches Klebeetikett kann im Gegensatz zu den bekannt Doppelkarten-Blisterverpackungen in einem hergestellt werden. Es wird vollständig genutzt, wodurch weniger Material benötigt wird. Anders betrachtet entsteht hierdurch weniger Abfall als bei den bekannten Doppelkarten-Blisterpackungen.Depending on whether the window on the front or the back of the folded adhesive label is pre-punched, the eruption is glued to the window in the folded state corresponding position of the opposite rear or front side. In this embodiment too, only two components, namely the adhesive label and the blister, are used to produce the packaging. Instead of a separate, printed backside card, the breakout of the window can be printed with the desired background motif for the blister pack. Such an adhesive label, in contrast to the known double-card blister packs can be made in one. It is fully utilized, which requires less material. In other words, this results in less waste than in the known double-card blister packs.

Bevorzugt weist das Klebeetikett entlang der Faltlinie eine Sollknickstelle auf. Diese kann beispielsweise durch eine Perforation oder eine Prägung gebildet werden. Hierdurch erleichtert sich die Montage der Verpackung und es erhöht sich zugleich die Genauigkeit der Faltung.The adhesive label preferably has a predetermined bending point along the fold line. This can be formed for example by a perforation or embossing. This facilitates the assembly of the package and at the same time increases the accuracy of the folding.

Bevorzugt ist das Klebeetikett ferner entlang der Faltlinie in eine Vorder- und in eine Rückseite im Wesentlichen gleicher Abmessungen unterteilt. Dadurch kann ein einheitliches, einfach herzustellendes Klebeetikett mit durchgehender Klebefläche verwendet werden. Beim Falten werden die Klebeflächen der Vorder- und der Rückseite dann vollständig zur Deckung gebracht.Preferably, the adhesive label is further divided along the fold line into a front and a back of substantially equal dimensions. This allows a uniform, easy-to-produce adhesive label with continuous adhesive surface can be used. When folding the adhesive surfaces of the front and the back are then completely covered.

Sind die Vorder- und Rückseite des Klebeetiketts nicht deckungsgleich müssten die Klebefläche entweder auf den Bereich der Deckung beschränkt sein, wodurch die Herstellung des Klebeetiketts aufwändiger wird, oder die überstehenden Klebefläche der Vorder- oder Rückseite müsste anderweitig abgedeckt werden, was den Aufwand der Herstellung der Verpackung und die Anzahl der benötigten Verpackungselemente erhöhen kann. Selbstverständlich können aber auch mehrere Faltlinien bzw. Sollknickstellen an dem Klebeetikett angebracht sein, wodurch eine größerer Gestaltungsfreiheit für die Verpackung erzielt werden kann.If the front and back of the adhesive label do not coincide, the adhesive surface would either be limited to the area of coverage, making the production of the adhesive label is more expensive, or the protruding adhesive surface of the front or back would have to be covered elsewhere, which the cost of producing the Packaging and the number of required packaging elements can increase. Of course, however, a plurality of folding lines or predetermined bending points may be attached to the adhesive label, whereby a greater freedom of design for the packaging can be achieved.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist das Klebeetikett zur Erhöhung der Eigenstabilität - vorzugsweise mittels Karton- oder Kunststoffschicht - versteift. Das Versteifungselement wird auf diese Weise in das Klebeetikett integriert, sodass dieses nicht allein als Informationsträger dient.In a preferred embodiment, the adhesive label to increase the inherent stability - preferably by means of cardboard or plastic layer - stiffened. The stiffening element is integrated in this way in the adhesive label, so that it does not serve alone as an information carrier.

In einer anderen bevorzugten Ausführungsform entsprechen die Abmessungen des Blisterrands im Wesentlichen denen des gefalteten Etiketts. Durch die Verwendung einer Kunststofffolie ausreichender Stärke für den Blister(-rand) übernimmt dieser die Funktion des Versteifungselements und erzeugt eine erhöhte Eigenstabilität der gesamten Verpackung, ohne dass das Klebeetikett versteift werden muss.In another preferred embodiment, the dimensions of the blister edge substantially correspond to those of the folded label. By using a plastic film of sufficient strength for the blister (edge) this assumes the function of the stiffening element and produces an increased intrinsic stability of the entire package, without the adhesive label must be stiffened.

Vorteilhafterweise ist die Aufdruckfläche des Klebeetiketts für das Bedrucken mittels Thermotransferdruck eingerichtet. Hierdurch lässt sich ein kostengünstiges, dauerhaftes und flexibles Druckverfahren bei der Herstellung des Klebeetiketts für die erfindungsgemäße Verpackung anwenden. In vielen. Anwendungsfällen kann ein solches nach bekannten Druck-, Stanz- und/oder Prägeverfahren vorgedrucktes, -gestanztes und/oder -geprägtes Klebeetikett vor Ort mittels "mobiler" Thermotransferdrucker mit aktuellen Produktdaten, z.B. Preis, Herstellungs- oder Verpackungsdatum, Haltbarkeitsdatum oder dgl., oder mit individuellen "point of sale"-Daten, z.B. Angaben zum Verkäufer, Verkaufsort, Verkaufsdatum oder dgl., in Schrift und/oder maschinenlesbarer Form (z.B. Barcode) versehen werden. Auch können die Etiketten mit attraktivem (grafischem) Designaufdruck individualisiert werden.Advantageously, the printing surface of the adhesive label for printing by means of thermal transfer printing is set up. This makes it possible to use a cost-effective, durable and flexible printing method in the production of the adhesive label for the packaging according to the invention. In many. In cases of application, such an adhesive label pre-printed, stamped and / or embossed according to known printing, stamping and / or embossing methods can be produced locally by means of a "mobile" thermal transfer printer with current product data, e.g. Price, date of manufacture or packaging, expiry date or the like, or with individual "point of sale" data, e.g. Information on the seller, place of sale, date of sale or the like, in writing and / or machine-readable form (for example, barcode) are provided. Also, the labels can be customized with attractive (graphic) design print.

Die Erfindung wird ferner gelöst durch ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer Verpackung, die ein eine Klebefläche und eine Aufdruckfläche aufweisendes Klebeetikett, das mit seiner Klebefläche einen Etikettenträger kontaktiert und in das ein Fenster vorgestanzt ist, und einen einen Napf und einen Rand aufweisenden Blister umfasst, mit den Schritten: Abziehen des Etikettenträgers von dem Klebeetikett, Ausbrechen des vorgestanzten Fensters aus dem Klebeetikett, Einsetzen des Blisters von der Klebefläche aus mit dem Napf durch das Fenster des Klebeetiketts, so dass der Rand des Blisters auf der Klebefläche zu liegen kommt, Einlegen einer zu verpackenden Ware in den Napf und Falten des Klebeetiketts entlang einer dieses in eine Vorderseite und Rückseite unterteilenden Faltlinie in Richtung der Klebefläche, so dass die Klebefläche der Vorderseite und die Klebefläche der Rückseite zumindest abschnittsweise aufeinander zu liegen kommen.The invention is further achieved by a method for producing a packaging comprising an adhesive label having an adhesive surface and a printing surface, which with its adhesive surface contacts a label carrier and into which a window is pre-punched, and a blister comprising a bowl and a rim, with the steps of: peeling off the label carrier from the adhesive label, breaking the pre-punched window from the adhesive label, inserting the blister from the adhesive surface with the cup through the window of the adhesive label so that the edge of the blister lies on the adhesive surface, inserting one packaging goods in the bowl and folds of the adhesive label along this in a front and back dividing fold line in the direction of the adhesive surface, so that the adhesive surface of the front and the adhesive surface of the back at least partially come to rest on each other.

Die Verfahrensschritte zur Herstellung einer erfindungsgemäßen Verpackung lassen sich ohne größeren technischen Aufwand realisieren. Hierdurch ist das Verfahren besonders zur Herstellung von Verpackungen kleinerer Stückzahlen geeignet, bei denen sich die Einrichtung und Inbetriebnahme aufwendiger Verpackungsmaschinen nicht rentiert.The process steps for producing a package according to the invention can be realized without major technical effort. As a result, the method is particularly suitable for the production of packages of smaller quantities, in which the establishment and commissioning of complex packaging machines not profitable.

Gemäß einer Ausführungsform wird der beim Ausbrechen des vorgestanzten Fensters verbleibende Ausbruch des Klebeetiketts mit seiner Klebefläche auf der Klebefläche der im gefalteten Zustand gegenüberliegenden Seite zu fixiert, dass er mit dem Fenster des gefalteten Klebeetiketts zur Deckung kommt.According to one embodiment, the outbreak of the adhesive label remaining on breaking out of the prepunched window is fixed with its adhesive surface on the adhesive surface of the side opposite in the folded state in such a way that it coincides with the window of the folded adhesive label.

Hierdurch hat man die Möglichkeit auf einfache Weise unter maximaler Ausnutzung der Etikettenfläche einen von beiden Seiten bedrucktbaren Informationsträger der Verpackung zu erzeugen, den man beispielsweise durch den eingesetzten Blister aus transparentem Kunststoff hindurch sehen kann. Bevorzugt wird insbesondere zum Fixieren des Ausbruchs auf der Klebefläche der gegenüberliegenden Seite (d.h. wenn das Fenster in der Vorderseite des Etiketts ist, auf der Klebefläche der Rückseite, und vice versa) eine Schablone oder Montagevorrichtung verwendet, in die das Klebeetikett eingelegt wird und die die Position des Ausbruchs bzgl. der Lage des Etiketts bzw. dessen Rückseite festlegt.As a result, it is possible in a simple manner with maximum utilization of the label area to produce a printable from both sides of the information carrier packaging, which can be seen for example by the blister of transparent plastic used. Preferably, in particular for fixing the eruption on the adhesive surface of the opposite side (ie when the window is in the front of the label, on the adhesive surface of the back, and vice versa) a template or mounting device is used, in which the adhesive label is inserted and the Defines the position of the outbreak with respect to the position of the label or its back.

Zum Zusammenbau der erfindungsgemäßen Verpackung werden die in Fig. 1 gezeigten Elemente benötigt. Dies sind zum Einen das Klebeetikett 10, welches auf einem Etikettenträger 12 fixiert ist. Das Klebeetikett weist auf seiner dem Etikettenträger zugewandten Klebefläche typischerweise eine Klebeschicht auf. Auf der dem Etikettenträger abgewandten Seite ist das Klebeetikett in bekannter Weise bedruckbar (Aufdruckseite). Beispielsweise ist es geeignet mittels eines Thermodruckverfahrens mit dem gewünschten Motiv bedruckt zu werden. Anschließend werden ein Fenster oder genauer gesagt ein Fensterrand 14 vorgestanzt. Dies geschieht, indem üblicherweise mit einem scharfen Messer oder Stanzwerkzeug das Klebeetikett entlang des Randes, der eine im Wesentlichen frei wählbare Form je nach dem zu verpackenden Gegenstand oder nach freier Designwahl festgelegt werden kann, durchtrennt wird, während der Etikettenträger unversehrt bleibt. Dasselbe geschieht entlang entsprechender Ränder um jeweils spiegelsymmetrisch zu einer Faltlinie 18 angeordneter Ausbrüche 20, 22 für eine Aufhängeöffnung der Verpackung. Schließlich wird auf dem Klebeetikett eine Faltlinie 18 angebracht. Dies geschieht vorzugsweise, wie hier gezeigt, durch Stanzen einer Perforation in das Klebetikett. Dieser Stanzvorgang kann gleichzeitig mit dem Vorstanzen des Fensterrandes 14 erfolgen. Alternativ kann die Faltlinie durch Prägen einer Sollknickstelle angebracht werden. Die Faltlinie unterteilt das Klebeetikett in eine Vorderseite 24 und eine Rückseite 26, die jeweils Kopf an Kopf (oder Fuß an Fuß) entlang der Faltlinie zusammenhängen. Entsprechend stehen bei dem gezeigten Ausführungbeispiel die Druckbilder zueinander auf dem Kopf. Die Erfindungsgemäßen Klebeetiketten sind jedoch nicht auf diese Ausführungsform beschränkt. Die Faltlinie kann ebenso gut entlang einer Seitenkante angeordnet sein. Auch können mehrere Faltlinien das Klebeetikett in mehrere Vorder-und/oder Rückseitenteile einteilen. Schließlich kann sogar eine dreidimensionale Form mit einem solchen Klebeetikett erzeugt oder beklebt werden, falls beispielsweise die Blisterhaube eine entsprechende Form aufweist.For assembling the packaging according to the invention are in Fig. 1 required elements needed. On the one hand, these are the adhesive label 10, which is fixed on a label carrier 12. The adhesive label typically has an adhesive layer on its adhesive surface facing the label carrier. On the side facing away from the label carrier, the adhesive label is printable in a known manner (printing side). For example, it is suitable to be printed by means of a thermal printing process with the desired motif. Subsequently, a window or more precisely a window edge 14 are pre-punched. This is done by usually using a sharp knife or punch the adhesive label along the edge, which is a substantially arbitrary shape depending on the object to be packaged or after a free design choice can be made, is severed while the label carrier remains intact. The same happens along corresponding edges about each symmetrical to a fold line 18 arranged outbreaks 20, 22 for a suspension opening of the package. Finally, a fold line 18 is placed on the adhesive label. This is preferably done, as shown here, by punching a perforation in the adhesive label. This punching process can take place simultaneously with the pre-punching of the window edge 14. Alternatively, the fold line can be attached by embossing a predetermined kink. The fold line divides the adhesive label into a front side 24 and a back side 26, which are connected head to head (or foot to foot) along the fold line, respectively. Accordingly, in the embodiment shown, the printed images are mutually upside down. However, the adhesive labels according to the invention are not limited to this embodiment. The fold line can also be arranged along a side edge. Also, several fold lines can divide the adhesive label into several front and / or rear side parts. Finally, even a three-dimensional shape can be produced or glued with such an adhesive label if, for example, the blister cap has a corresponding shape.

Klebeetiketten können in im allgemeinen bekannter Weise beispielsweise einzeln oder in Serie entweder beabstandet oder einstückig durchgehend auf einer gemeinsamen Etikettenträgerbahn mit einem ausgewählten Motiv bedruckt, mit einer ausgewählten Form vorgestanzt und ggf. mit einer Prägung der Sollknickstelle versehen und bei Bedarf anschließend vereinzelt werden. Als Etikettendruckverfahren kommen alle bekannten Druckverfahren in Betracht. Beispielhaft seien das Thermo-, Offset-, Buch-, Flexo-, Tiefdruck- Inkjet- oder Laserdruckverfahren zum Bedrucken des Klebeetiketts genannt. Als Stanz- und Prägeverfahren können alle bekannten Verfahren, wie beispielsweise rotative oder ebene Stanz- und Prägeverfahren, eingesetzt werden. Entsprechende Druckmaschinen, Stanz- und Prägevorrichtungen sind bekannt. Diese können vorzugsweise von einer gemeinsamen programmierbaren Steuerung gesteuert werden, sodass das Klebeetikett in einem einzigen Durchlaufprozess fertiggestellt werden kann.Adhesive labels can be printed in a generally known manner, for example individually or in series either continuously or integrally printed on a common label carrier web with a selected motif, pre-punched with a selected shape and optionally provided with an embossing of the predetermined bending point and then separated if necessary. Suitable label printing methods are all known printing methods. Examples include the thermal, offset, book, flexo, gravure inkjet or laser printing process for printing the adhesive label called. As punching and stamping methods, it is possible to use all known methods, such as, for example, rotary or flat punching and stamping methods. Corresponding printing presses, stamping and embossing devices are known. These may preferably be controlled by a common programmable controller so that the adhesive label can be completed in a single pass process.

In vielen Anwendungsfällen ist es darüber hinaus nützlich, wenn das Etikett (ferner) zum Bedrucken mittels bekannter Thermodruckvorrichtungen geeignet ist. Ein nach dem oben beschriebenen Verfahren vorgedrucktes, -gestanztes und/oder geprägtes Klebeetikett kann dann vor Ort mit aktuellen Produktdaten, z.B. Preis, Herstellungs- oder Verpackungsdatum, Haltbarkeitsdatum oder dgl., oder mit individuellen "point of sale" -Daten, z.B. Angaben zum Verkäufer, Verkaufsort, Verkaufsdatum oder dgl., in Schrift und/oder maschinenlesbarer Form versehen werden. Auch können die Etiketten mit attraktivem (grafischem) Designaufdruck individualisiert werden. Das Klebeetikett kann einem entsprechend eingerichteten Thermotransferdrucker zu diesem Zweck einzeln oder im Strang auf dem gemeinsamen Etikettenträger zugeführt werden. In letzterem Fall weist der Thermotransferdrucker eine Vereinzelungseinrichtung (Messer) auf. Das zur Verpackung vorgesehene Klebeetikett kann darüber hinaus auch andere, beispielsweise (kontaktfrei) elektronisch auslesbare Informationsträgerelemente aufweisen, wie beispielsweise einen RFID-Abschnitt oder dgl.In many applications, it is also useful if the label is suitable for printing by known thermal printing devices. A pre-printed, stamped and / or embossed adhesive label, as described above, may then be provided on site with current product data, e.g. Price, date of manufacture or packaging, expiry date or the like, or with individual "point of sale" data, e.g. Information about the seller, place of sale, date of sale or the like, be provided in writing and / or machine-readable form. Also, the labels can be customized with attractive (graphic) design print. The adhesive label can be fed to a suitably equipped thermal transfer printer for this purpose individually or in a strand on the common label carrier. In the latter case, the thermal transfer printer has a separating device (knife). The adhesive label provided for packaging can also have other information carrier elements which can be read out electronically (contactless), for example an RFID section or the like.

In Fig. 1 ist neben dem Klebetikett 10 eine beispielhafte Blisterhaube 30 dargestellt. Diese weist einen Blisternapf 32 und einen Blisterrand 34 auf. Ein solcher Blister wird beispielsweise aus einer Klarsichtkunststofffolie beliebiger Dicke durch Streck- oder Tiefziehen in bekannter Weise hergestellt. Die Form des Blisternapfes 32, der in dem dargestellten Fall eine rechteckige Vertiefung mit abgerundeten Ecken aufweist, kann nahezu in beliebigen dreidimensionalen geometrischen Formen gefertigt werden und in der erfindungsgemäßen Verpackung zum Einsatz kommen. Der Rechteckkontur des Blisters in dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel entsprechend ist auch der Fensterausbruch 16 in dem Klebeetikett 10 vorgestanzt, wobei dieser eine geringfügig größere Querschnittsfläche aufweist, damit der Blisternapf problemlos in das Fenster eingesetzt werden kann.In Fig. 1 In addition to the adhesive label 10, an exemplary blister cap 30 is shown. This has a blister cup 32 and a blister edge 34. Such a blister is produced for example from a clear plastic film of any thickness by stretching or deep drawing in a known manner. The shape of the blister cup 32, which in the case shown has a rectangular recess with rounded corners, can be made in almost any three-dimensional geometric shapes and used in the packaging according to the invention. Corresponding to the rectangular contour of the blister in the embodiment shown, the window opening 16 is also pre-cut into the adhesive label 10, this having a slightly larger cross-sectional area so that the blister cup can be easily inserted into the window.

Die Breite des Blisterrandes 34 muss ausreichend sein, damit eine Fixierung des Blisters zwischen den beiden Klebeflächen der montierten Verpackung gewährleistet ist. Grundsätzlich kann der Blisterrand auch so groß gewählt werden, wie die Fläche der Vorder- oder Rückseite des Klebeetiketts. In dieser Ausführungsform dient der Blister nicht nur als Containerelement sondern auch als Versteifungselement der Verpackung. Dies kann sich insbesondere dann als vorteilhaft erweisen, wenn der Kunststoff des Blisters eine höhere Reißfestigkeit aufweist als das üblicherweise aus Papier oder Karton hergestellte Klebeetikett, weil dadurch die bekannte Gefahr vermindert wird, dass der Aufhänger 20, 22 ausreißt.The width of the Blisterrandes 34 must be sufficient so that a fixation of the blister between the two adhesive surfaces of the assembled packaging is guaranteed. Basically, the blister can be so large be like the area of the front or back of the adhesive label. In this embodiment, the blister serves not only as a container element but also as a stiffening element of the packaging. This can prove to be particularly advantageous if the plastic of the blister has a higher tensile strength than the adhesive label usually made of paper or cardboard, because this reduces the known risk that the hanger 20, 22 tears.

Das Verhältnis zwischen Blisternapf und Blisterrand bzw. Fensterausbruch und dem diesen umgebenden Rand des Klebeetiketts ist so zu wählen, dass die montierte Verpackung eine ausreichende Eigenstabilität aufweist und eine sichere Verpackung des Inhalts gewährleistet. Hierbei haben sich Größenverhältnisse von Fensterfläche zu der umgebenden Fläche der Vorder- bzw. Rückseite des Klebeetiketts von 1:2 als vorteilhaft erwiesen. Das Größenverhältnis kann zu Gunsten des Fensters noch verändert werden, wenn das Klebeetikett 10 durch beispielsweise einen Karton zusätzlich versteift wird. Bevorzugte Ausführungsformen weisen dann ein Größenverhältnis von Fensterfläche zu der umgebenden Fläche der Vorder- bzw. der Rückseite von 1:1 und besonders bevorzugt von 2:1 auf.The relationship between Blisternapf and Blisterrand or window outbreak and the surrounding edge of the adhesive label is to be chosen so that the assembled packaging has sufficient inherent stability and ensures safe packaging of the content. In this case, proportions of window area to the surrounding area of the front or rear side of the adhesive label of 1: 2 have proved to be advantageous. The size ratio can be changed in favor of the window even if the adhesive label 10 is additionally stiffened by, for example, a cardboard. Preferred embodiments then have a size ratio of window area to the surrounding area of the front and the rear side of 1: 1 and particularly preferably of 2: 1.

Weiterhin ist in Fig. 1 eine Montagevorrichtung 40 gezeigt, in die das Klebeetikett 10, wie nachfolgend beschrieben wird, zur Montage des Blisters 30 eingelegt wird. Die Montagevorrichtung 40 weist eine Bodenelement mit einer Auflagefläche 44 und eine auf drei Seiten umlaufende Anlageleiste 41 auf. Durch die Anlageleiste 41 erhält das eingelegte Klebeetikett 10 eine relativ zu der Montagevorrichtung 40 definierten Lage. Ein in dem Bodenelement der Montagevorrichtung 40 vorgesehener Durchbruch 46 kommt in der definierten Lage mit dem Fenster 16 des eingelegten Klebeetiketts 10 zur Deckung. Anstelle des Durchbruchs 46 kann auch eine nicht durchgehende Tasche in das Bodenelement eingelassen sein, deren Tiefe größer als die Höhe des Blisternapfes 32 sein muss, damit der Blisterrand 34 beim Einsetzen des Blisters 30 auf der Klebefläche des Klebeetiketts 10 aufliegt.Furthermore, in Fig. 1 a mounting device 40 is shown, in which the adhesive label 10, as described below, is inserted for mounting the blister 30. The mounting device 40 has a bottom element with a support surface 44 and a three-sided peripheral contact strip 41. By the contact strip 41, the inserted adhesive label 10 is replaced by a defined relative to the mounting device 40 position. A provided in the bottom element of the mounting device 40 opening 46 comes in the defined position with the window 16 of the inserted adhesive label 10 to cover. Instead of the opening 46, a non-continuous pocket can be embedded in the bottom element, the depth of which must be greater than the height of the blister cup 32, so that the blister edge 34 rests upon insertion of the blister 30 on the adhesive surface of the adhesive label 10.

Schließlich gehört zu der Montagevorrichtung 40 eine Schablone 50 zum passgenauen Fixieren des aus dem Fenster ausgebrochenen Ausbruchs 16 auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite (in diesem Fall auf der Rückseite 26) des Klebeetiketts 10, wie weiter unten näher beschrieben wird.Finally, the mounting device 40 includes a template 50 for accurately fixing the broken out of the window outbreak 16 on the opposite side (in this case on the back 26) of the adhesive label 10, as will be described in more detail below.

Das auf die in der oben beschriebenen Weise bedruckte und vorgestanzte Klebeetikett 10 wird in dem in Fig. 2 gezeigten Verfahrensschritt von dem Etikettenträger 12 abgelöst. Hierbei bleiben der dem Fenster entsprechende Ausbruch 14 sowie die Ausbrüche für den Aufhänger 20, 22 auf dem Etikettenträger 12 zurück. Erfahrungsgemäß kann es passieren, dass bei nicht ausreichendem Vorstanzen der Ausbrüche diese noch mit dem Klebeetikett 10 zusammenhängen und folglich nicht auf dem Etikettenträger zurückbleiben. Dann müssen die Ausbrüche nachträglich aus dem Klebeetikett ausgebrochen werden.The adhesive label 10 printed and pre-punched in the manner described above is used in the in Fig. 2 shown process step detached from the label carrier 12. Here, the window corresponding breakout 14 and the outbreaks for the hanger 20, 22 remain on the label carrier 12 back. Experience has shown that it may happen that in case of insufficient pre-punching of the outbreaks this still related to the adhesive label 10 and therefore not remain on the label carrier. Then the outbreaks must be subsequently broken out of the adhesive label.

In dem nächsten Verfahrensschritt wird das abgezogene Klebeetikett mit der bedruckten Fläche nach unten auf die Auflagefläche 44 der Montagevorrichtung 40 so aufgelegt, dass es auf drei Seiten der umlaufenden Anlageleiste 41 der Montagevorrichtung 40 anliegt. Das Fenster kommt dabei mit dem Durchbruch 46 der Montagevorrichtung zur Deckung.In the next method step, the peeled adhesive label is placed with the printed surface down on the support surface 44 of the mounting device 40 so that it rests on three sides of the rotating contact strip 41 of the mounting device 40. The window comes with the opening 46 of the mounting device to cover.

Die Klebeseite des Klebeetiketts zeigt nun nach oben, so dass in dem in Fig. 4 gezeigten Verfahrensschritt der Blister 30 mit dem nach unten weisenden Blisternapf 32 durch das Fenster des Klebeetiketts 10 und den Durchbruch 46 der Montagevorrichtung 40 eingelegt werden kann. Dabei kommt der Blisterrand 34 auf der Klebefläche der Vorderseite 24 des Klebeetiketts 10 zu liegen. Danach kann eine zu verpackende Ware 60 in den Blisternapf 32 eingelegt werden.The adhesive side of the adhesive label now points upwards, so that in the in Fig. 4 shown process step of the blister 30 with the downwardly facing blister cup 32 through the window of the adhesive label 10 and the opening 46 of the mounting device 40 can be inserted. In this case, the blister edge 34 comes to lie on the adhesive surface of the front side 24 of the adhesive label 10. Thereafter, a product to be packaged 60 can be inserted into the blister cup 32.

In Fig. 5 ist gezeigt, wie mittels der Anschlagschablone 50, die auf die Montagevorrichtung 40 in der nachfolgend näher beschriebenen Weise aufgesetzt wird, siehe Pfeil 52, der dem Fenster in dem Klebeetikett 10 entsprechende Ausbruch 16 auf die korrespondierende Stelle der dem Fenster gegenüberliegenden Rückseite 26 des Klebeetiketts 10 aufgeklebt wird. Hierzu wird der Ausbruch 16 von dem Etikettenträger 12 abgezogen und mit seiner Klebefläche nach unten in eine Aussparung 54 der Anschlagschablone 50 zur Zentrierung und Ausrichtung eingesetzt und mit seiner Klebefläche auf die nach oben weisende Klebefläche der Rückseite des Etiketts 10 aufgeklebt.In Fig. 5 5, the stopper template 50, which is placed on the mounting device 40 in the manner described in more detail below, shows arrow 52 of the opening 16 corresponding to the window in the adhesive label 10 on the corresponding position of the rear side 26 of the adhesive label 10 opposite the window is glued on. For this purpose, the outbreak 16 is subtracted from the label carrier 12 and with his Adhesive surface down in a recess 54 of the stop template 50 used for centering and alignment and glued with its adhesive surface on the upward-facing adhesive surface of the back of the label 10.

In Fig. 6A und B ist gezeigt, wie das Klebeetikett entlang der Faltlinie 18 (in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel eine Perforation) so gefaltet wird, dass die Klebefläche der Rückseite 26 anschließend auf der Klebefläche 24 der Vorderseite des Klebeetiketts zu liegen kommt. Dabei kommt der zuvor aufgeklebte Ausbruch 16 mit seiner bedruckten Seite mit dem Fenster in der Vorderseite des Klebeetiketts 10 zur Deckung. Zugleich wird der Blisterrand 34 durch die Klebefläche der Rückseite 26 zusätzlich zu der Klebefläche der Vorderseite in seiner Position fixiert. Der Blister kann somit nicht mehr zerstörungsfrei von dem Klebeetikett getrennt werden. Fig. 6B zeigt das zusammengesetzte Klebeetikett in einer beinahe fertig gefalteten Anordnung.In FIGS. 6A and B It is shown how the adhesive label along the fold line 18 (in this embodiment, a perforation) is folded so that the adhesive surface of the back 26 then comes to rest on the adhesive surface 24 of the front side of the adhesive label. In this case, the previously glued-out eruption 16 comes with its printed side with the window in the front of the adhesive label 10 to cover. At the same time, the blister edge 34 is fixed by the adhesive surface of the back 26 in addition to the adhesive surface of the front in position. The blister can thus no longer be separated from the adhesive label nondestructively. Fig. 6B shows the composite adhesive label in an almost finished folded arrangement.

Die fertige und gefüllte Verpackung ist in den Fig. 7A und 7B gezeigt. Nunmehr weisen die Druckflächen sowohl der Vorder- als auch der Rückseite des Klebeetiketts nach außen, so dass der vollständige Aufdruck zu erkennen ist. In Fig. 7A ist die fertige Verpackung von der Vorderseite zu sehen, wobei der transparente Blister 30 - genauer gesagt der Blisternapf 32 - aus der Ebene des Klebeetiketts herausragt und den verpackten Inhalt 60 sowie - soweit nicht von dem Inhalt verdeckt - den auf die Rückseite geklebten Ausbruch sichtbar werden lässt. Die fertige Verpackung ist in Fig. 7B nochmals im Schnitt gezeigt, in dem zu erkennen ist, dass der Blisternapf 33 aus der Ebene des Klebeetiketts herausragt.The finished and filled packaging is in the Figs. 7A and 7B shown. Now, the pressure surfaces of both the front and the back of the adhesive label to the outside, so that the full imprint can be seen. In Fig. 7A the finished package is seen from the front, the transparent blister 30 - more precisely the blister cup 32 - protruding from the plane of the adhesive label and the packaged content 60 and - if not covered by the content - the outbreak glued to the back visible leaves. The finished packaging is in Fig. 7B shown again in section, in which it can be seen that the blister cup 33 protrudes from the plane of the adhesive label.

Die Fig. 8A und 8B, 9A und 9B sowie 10A und 10B zeigen die Montagevorrichtung 40 sowie die Anschlagschablone 50 jeweils einzeln sowie in zusammengesetzter Anordnung. Die Seitenansicht der Fig. 8A zeigt, dass die Montagevorrichtung 40 einen nach oben über die Auflagefläche 44 (gestrichelte Linie) hinausragenden Anlageleiste aufweist, die das eingelegte Etikett auf drei Seiten umfänglich umschließt. Die Anlageleiste weist zwei lange seitliche Rahmenelemente 42 sowie ein kurzes stirnseitiges Rahmenelement 43 auf, siehe Fig. 8B. Auf der dem stirnseitigen Rahmenelement 43 gegenüberliegenden Seite ist die Montagevorrichtung offen. Auf dieser Seite sind die seitlichen Rahmenelemente 42 in einem Bereich 49 in Richtung der Auflagefläche 44 abgesenkt und bilden eine Anschlagkante 48. Gegen diese Anschlagkante 48 wird die Anschlagschablone 50 zu dem oben beschriebenen Zweck des Einlegens des Ausbruchs 16, angelegt, wodurch ihre Position entlang der Mittellinie 45 der Anschlagschablone definiert wird.The Figs. 8A and 8B, 9A and 9B such as 10A and 10B show the mounting device 40 and the stop template 50 each individually and in a composite arrangement. The side view of Fig. 8A shows that the mounting device 40 has an upwardly over the support surface 44 (dashed line) projecting contact strip which surrounds the inserted label on three sides circumferentially. The contact strip has two long side frame elements 42 and a short front frame element 43, please refer Fig. 8B , On the front side frame member 43 opposite side, the mounting device is open. On this side, the side frame members 42 are lowered in a region 49 in the direction of the support surface 44 and form a stop edge 48. Against this stop edge 48, the stop template 50 for the purpose described above of inserting the outbreak 16, applied, whereby their position along the Center line 45 of the stop template is defined.

Die Anschlagschablone 50 weist auf ihrer Unterseite entlang beider Längskanten jeweils eine Ausnehmung 56 ebenfalls symmetrisch zu der Mittellinie 55 auf, siehe Fig. 9B. Diese Ausnehmungen sind so bemessen, dass die Anschlagschablone passgenau zwischen die seitlichen Rahmenelemente 42 eingefügt werden kann. Auf diese Weise wird die Position der Anschlagschablone auch quer zur Mittellinie 45 definiert.The stop template 50 has on its underside along both longitudinal edges in each case a recess 56 also symmetrical to the center line 55, see Fig. 9B , These recesses are dimensioned so that the stop template can be inserted accurately between the side frame members 42. In this way, the position of the stop template is also defined transversely to the center line 45.

Anstelle der Anlageleiste 41 in Form der gezeigten drei Rahmenelemente 42, 43 kann auch eine Anlage aus wenigstens drei Punkten gebildet werden, durch die die Position des Etiketts bzgl. der Montagevorrichtung definiert wird. Jedoch weist eine Anlage mit mehr als drei Punkten bzw. mit Flächen eine größere Sicherheit bzgl. der Montagegenauigkeit auf.Instead of the contact strip 41 in the form of the three frame elements 42, 43 shown, a system of at least three points can also be formed, by which the position of the label is defined with respect to the mounting device. However, a system with more than three points or with surfaces has a greater security with respect to the mounting accuracy.

Das Fenster muss nicht, wie in dem Ausführungsbeilspiel gezeigt, symmetrisch um die Mittellinie 45 herum angeordnet sein. Es kann ebenso zu dieser versetzt angeordnet und/oder auch per se asymmetrisch ausgeformt sein. Auch können mehrere Fenster vorgesehen sein. In entsprechender Weise müssen dann die Montagevorrichtung und die Anschlagschablone(n) angepasst werden.The window need not be symmetrically disposed about the centerline 45 as shown in the embodiment. It may also be arranged offset to this and / or be formed asymmetrically per se. Also, several windows can be provided. In a corresponding manner then the mounting device and the stop template (s) must be adjusted.
