Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to a packaging system and method, and more particularly to a packaging system and method using a flexible material to hold an article In a container for shipment.
  • One method of securing an article in a container is to fill the void in the container around the article with a dunnage material, such as that produced by a dunnage conversion machine.
  • a dunnage conversion machine Exemplary dunnage conversion machines that convert a stock material into a relatively less dense dunnage product are disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos. 4,968,291 ; 5,123,889 ; and 6,676,589 .
  • FR 2 853 885 A discloses a shipping container and a flexible material connected to the container.
  • the flexible material has a cohesive on a surface thereof for adhering to a cohesive at a different location.
  • the package has two paper sheets (2) integrated respectively to one of two longitudinal walls (3), where each sheet includes glue fillets (4) and double face adhesive bands.
  • the fillets or bands of each sheet are disposed on a face of the sheet in a position such that the fillets or bands come in mutual contact to integrate the sheets and to lock conditioned objects in position, when the sheets cover it.
  • Another method of securing an article in a container includes placing a heat-shrinkable plastic over the article in the container, securing the plastic relative to the container, and applying heat to shrink the plastic against the article or the container to hold the article in place.
  • the present invention provides a packaging system and method characterized by a flexible material with a cohesive portion on a surface thereof.
  • the flexible material is connected to a container such that the cohesive portion can be readily secured to another cohesive portion to hold an article in a desired position in the container.
  • a packaging system in accordance with the present invention includes a shipping container and a flexible material connected to the shipping container, where the flexible material has a connecting portion connected to the container and a securing portion extending from a wall of the shipping container.
  • the securing portion has a cohesive on a surface thereof for adhering to a cohesive at a different location on the connecting portion, the securing portion, some other part of the flexible material or some other part of the packaging system to hold an article relative to the shipping container.
  • the flexible material includes a crumpled sheet material attached to an uncrumpled sheet material.
  • a method of making a package for shipping an article includes the step of attaching to a shipping container a flexible material with a cohesive on at least a portion thereof such that a portion of the flexible material having the cohesive on a surface thereof can be pressed to a cohesive on a surface of at least one of another portion of a flexible material and the shipping container, wherein the step of attaching the flexible material includes a sheet material and attaching the crumpled sheet material to an uncrumpled sheet material before attaching the flexible material to the shipping container.
  • a packaging system 20 in accordance with the present invention includes a shipping container 22 and a flexible material 24 connected to the shipping container 22.
  • the flexible material 24 has a cohesive on a surface thereof that can be readily secured to another cohesive portion to hold an article in a desired position in the container for shipping.
  • the flexible material 24 has a connecting portion 26 connected to the container 22 and a securing portion 28 spaced therefrom.
  • the securing portion 28 has a cohesive 30 on a surface thereof for adhering to a cohesive 32 at a different location on the connecting portion 26 or the securing portion 28 or some other part of the flexible material or some other part of the packaging system to hold the article relative to the shipping container 22.
  • a cohesive unlike an adhesive, only attaches to itself and generally will not stick to other items, such as non-cohesive portions of the flexible material or the container.
  • heat or supplementary closure materials such as glue, mechanical staples, tape or other bonding strips, for example, are not necessary in view of the cohesive.
  • the flexible material 24, on a surface of which the cohesive material is supplied, includes a crumpled sheet material or a crumpled sheet material and an uncrumpled sheet material.
  • the crumpled material can act as a cushioning layer to further protect the article.
  • Other types of cushioning products can be used in place of or in addition to the crumpled sheet material, such as air pillows, foam padding or bubble pack, but are not part of the present invention.
  • the container 22 to which the flexible material is connected is typically a cardboard box.
  • the container is not limited to a container made of cardboard, however, and can be made of metal, wood, other types of paper or plastic.
  • the container does not need to be a rectangular box, but may have other shapes, such as spherical, tubular, octagonal or a bag-shape, for example.
  • the container does not necessarily define a closed volume, and could have one or more openings.
  • the container to which the flexible material is connected is not necessarily rigid and could be made of a flexible substance.
  • the flexible material 24 can be connected to the container 22 in a variety of configurations.
  • the connecting portion 26 of the flexible material 24 can be affixed to a side wall of the shipping container or a bottom wall of a shipping container, for example.
  • the flexible material can have multiple segments, each of which has a connecting portion connected to the container and a securing portion extending therefrom.
  • the connecting portion 26 of the flexible material 24 can be proximate an end of the flexible material or proximate a central region of the flexible material, as will be seen in the following examples.
  • the flexible material 24 can be connected to the container 22 directly or indirectly, and the connecting portion can 26 be fixed in place with a variety of connecting means, including adhesive, mechanical fasteners, tapes, or even corresponding cohesive portions.
  • FIG. 2 shows a packaging system 40 which is not part of the present invention with a flexible material 42 having a central portion 44 thereof affixed to a bottom wall 46 of a container 48, and an article 50 placed in the container 48 and on the central portion 44 of the flexible material 42 for packaging.
  • the central portion 44 thus embodies the connecting portion 26 of FIG. 1 .
  • the illustrated article includes two objects, which should make it clear that the term "article” is not limited to a single object.
  • the flexible material 42 is a flexible sheet, such as kraft paper, having a cohesive on at least a portion 52 of an inner surface thereof, particularly on the distal portions thereof.
  • the cohesive portions adhere to one another and cooperate to wrap around, hold and secure the article 50 as a package 54 relative to the container 48.
  • the cohesive portions 52 thus embody the cohesive portions 30 and 32 of FIG. 1 .
  • the flexible material 42 once secure in its ready-to-ship configuration, can prevent or minimize movement of the article 50 relative to the container 48 during shipment.
  • void 56 may remain in the container 48 and that void 56 does not necessarily have to be filled with a void fill material to protect the article 50 during shipment.
  • the connecting portion of the flexible material can be at one side of the flexible material such that after this portion is affixed to the container, the securing portion can wrap around the article from one side more than another.
  • the flexible material can include multiple segments, each of which has a connecting portion secured to the container and a securing portion that can extend around an article.
  • Each of the securing portions can have a cohesive portion for connecting to a respective cohesive portion on another portion of the packaging system.
  • the cohesive typically is provided at the distal ends of the flexible material so that the ends of the flexible material can be brought together to hold the article therein.
  • the flexible material can have a cohesive spread across an entire surface, which could be beneficial in providing cohesive portions that can be attached together when the article to be packed is relatively small as well as to accommodate relatively large articles for shipment in a common container.
  • Other arrangements of cohesive on the stock material also are possible.
  • the cohesive can be provided in regularly or irregularly spaced, sized, oriented or shaped strips or patterns of cohesive on one or more surfaces of the stock material.
  • a system 60 in accordance with the present invention includes a multi-layer flexible material 62 to secure an article 64 in a container 66 for shipment.
  • the flexible material 62 in this example includes an uncrumpled sheet material 68 secured to the bottom wall 70 of the container 66, and a cushioning layer 72 superimposed on and affixed to the uncrumpled sheet material 68.
  • This cushioning layer is formed by crumpled paper.
  • the exposed surface 74 of the cushioning layer 72 has a cohesive thereon such that distal ends of the multi-layer flexible material 62 can be brought together, as shown in FIG. 5 , to wrap around and secure the article 64 in the container 66.
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 it is desirable to space the article to be packaged from a wall of the container.
  • One way of accomplishing this is to provide a dunnage product between the article and a portion of the flexible material, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 .
  • a flexible material 82 is affixed to a container 84, and a rigid material 86, such as a section of cardboard, plastic or other relatively stiff material is placed on the flexible material 82.
  • the container 84 has multiple flaps 87 and 88 that help to define the bottom of the container 84, and one or more sections of the flexible material 82 can have portions interlaced between the flaps and secured therein to hold the flexible material 82 to the bottom of the container.
  • dunnage 90 or other material, such as the cushioning dunnage product disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,123,889 , is placed on the relatively stiff material to support and space the article 92 from the bottom wall 94 of the container 84.
  • a cushioning dunnage product also provides increased cushioning.
  • Each of these components can be attached to each other or one or more can be loosely associated with one or more other components.
  • the dunnage product 90 can be secured to the relatively stiff material 86 to form a spacing unit 96 that is not attached to the flexible material 82, a central portion of which is affixed to the shipping container 84.
  • FIGS. 8 and 9 Another packaging method for spacing an article from a wall of the container can be referred to as hammocking.
  • another system 100 uses a first flexible material 102 that connects opposing side walls 104 and 106 of a container 110 to define a hammock-like support surface for an article 112 that is spaced from a bottom wall 114 of the container 110.
