Definitions
- the present invention relates to a carton and blank, in particular a carton and blank for the packaging of products sent via postal services.
- the present invention also relates to a method of erecting such a carton.
- cartons for the sending of items via the post that comprise an inner portion whose primary function is to house the contents of the carton, and an outer portion that wraps around the inner portion.
- the primary function of the outer portion is to carry the mailing address, postage, customs and other information related to the dispatch of the contents of the carton to its recipient.
- the outer wrap-around portion may be removed by the recipient to reveal additional information on the inner portion e.g. relating to the use of the carton contents, or promotional material relating to the company sending the carton.
- the present invention seeks to overcome, or at least mitigate the problems of the prior art.
- a first aspect of the present invention provides a carton for the packaging of products to be sent via postal services, the carton comprising: an inner carton portion having a plurality of panels including first and second opposing side panels, and an opposing top panel and bottom panel, one pair of opposing panels having a greater area than the second pair of opposing panels; and an outer wrap portion configured to overlie at least one of each pair of panels; wherein a tear strip is provided to facilitate the at least partial separation of the outer wrap portion from the inner carton portion and wherein the tear strip is positioned so as to overlie the panel having the greatest area.
- a second aspect of the present invention provides a blank for forming a carton of the type described in the preceding paragraph.
- a third aspect of the present invention provides a method of forming a carton of the first aspect of the invention comprising the steps of: folding the plurality of panels to form an inner carton portion; folding at least one further panel so as to overlie the inner carton portion and form the outer wrap portion; and releasably securing the outer wrap portion in the overlying relationship with the inner carton portion.
- Fig. 1 shows a plan view of the outer face of a blank 8 in which fold lines are generally denoted by broken lines and cut/score lines by solid lines.
- the blank can generally be divided into an inner carton portion 10 and an outer wrap portion 12, the two portions being detachably connected by a tear strip 44.
- the blank may be formed from any suitable material including paperboard, corrugated board, plastics material, or laminates of paperboard and plastics, having suitable strength such that the carton, when erected from the blank, can withstand the usual rigours of the postal system.
- the inner carton portion 10 comprises, in series, in a top panel 14, first inner side panel 16, an inner bottom panel 18, second inner side panel 20 and a connecting panel 22, hinged together by fold lines 48, 50, 52 and 54 respectively.
- Fold line 54 is interrupted by two spaced D-shaped cut lines 88 whose purpose is discussed in greater detail below.
- Corresponding D-shaped projections 89 are provided on the free edge of inner top panel 14.
- First 24 and second 28 end panels are hinged to both end edges of the inner top panel 14 and inner bottom panel 18 respectively along fold lines 56, 60 and 62.
- Connector panels 52 and locking tabs 34 are struck from the inner top panel and first end panels respectively, being separated therefrom by cut lines 84 and hinged to the inner top panel by fold lines 64.
- the connector panels 32 and locking tabs 34 interrupt D-shaped cut lines 78 provided in the fold lines 56.
- the fold lines 66 that connect the connector panel 52 to the locking tab 34 are aligned with the cut lines 78.
- a further D-shaped cut line 80 interrupts fold line 62 connecting the inner bottom panel 18 to the second end panel 28 for reasons discussed in more detail below.
- All the D-shaped cut lines 80, 88 and 89 terminate in short transverse cuts that act to dissipate stress and thus minimise the risk of tearing.
- End tabs 35 are hinged to the second end panels 28 along fold lines 67 that are interrupted by a circular finger slot 86 and cut lines 82.
- First and second end flaps 26 and 30 are hinged to first inner side panel 16 and second inner side panel 20 by fold lines 58 and 68 respectively.
- the tear strip 44 is formed from first and second parallel score lines 90 provided on the upper face of the blank and third and fourth parallel score lines 92 on the underside of blank with a closer spacing therebetween, as is well known. Both score lines penetrate part way through the blank, such that tearing occurs between the score lines substantially parallel to the surfaces of the blank and clean torn edges are left.
- the outer wrap portion comprises an outer top panel, first outer side panel 38, outer bottom panel 40 and second outer side panel 42 hinged to one another in a series along fold lines 70, 72 and 74 respectively.
- Panels 38, 40 and 42 have slightly larger dimensions than corresponding panels 16, 18 and 20 in order to permit them to overlie and wrap-around these panels when the carton is erected.
- the combination of panels 22 and 36 and tear strip 44 has a slightly larger dimension than that of panel 14, which they all overlie.
- Two arrowhead tabs 46 are hinged to the second outer side panel 42 along fold lines 76.
- the carton may be supplied to packers in this partially erected state, since it may be stored flat and therefore takes up minimal space in storage and transit.
- a packer will fold first and second end flaps 26 and 30 inwardly at one end of the inner carton 10, followed by first end panel 24 about fold line 56. End tab 35 and second end panel 28 are then also folded inwardly such that end tab 35 is tucked through the cut line 78.
- connector panel 32 is folded back about fold line 64 and locking tab 34 is folded inwardly about fold line 66 and both the connector panel and the locking tab are then folded inwardly about fold line 64, such that the locking tab is inserted through the cut line 82 that interrupts fold line 67 between the second end panel 28 and the end tab 35.
- the packer then loads the inner carton portion 10 with the items to be dispatched and closes the second end of the inner carton in the same manner as the first, as described above.
- outer wrap portion 12 is then folded around the inner carton portion 10 such that outer top panel 36 overlies inner top panel 14 first outer side panel 38 overlies first inner side panel 16, outer bottom panel 40 overlies inner bottom panel 18 and second outer side panel 42 overlies second inner side panel 20.
- arrowhead tabs 46 are inserted into the slitted apertures formed by cut lines 88. The shape of the tabs 46 causes them to securely engage against the wall formed by second inner side panel 20 so as to prevent the unwanted opening of the carton 8 during transit.
- FIG. 2 The fully erected carton is illustrated in Fig. 2 . It will be noted that outer top panel 36 overlies the connector panel 32, thereby preventing the locking tab 34 from being disengaged between the end tab and second end panel 28. This arrangement prevents the opening of either end of the inner carton portion whilst the outer wrap portion remains in place. This provides some measure of security and tamper-evidence to the carton, since accidental opening of the carton in transit is substantially prevented. If unauthorised access to the carton is attempted, this would only be possible without some evidence of tampering if the arrowhead tabs 46 are carefully removed from the cut line 88 without any tearing of the panels occurring.
- the arrowhead tabs 46 could be replaced by a second glue strip that secures the outer wrap 12 to the inner carton 10, so that access to the carton may only be achieved if one or other portion of the carton is torn.
- the tear strip 44 is located on the top surface of the carton which has a significantly greater area than the side faces. It has been found that the tear strip 44 is less susceptible to damage and accidental removal in this location, compared with locations on the side edges, particularly if the strip is set in from the edge of the carton (i.e. from fold lines 54 and 70).
- the inner carton When the carton is received by the recipient, access to the inner carton is achieved by first removing the tear strip 44, which, due to the configuration of score lines 90 and 92 on opposing faces of the tear strip and their offset relationship, leaves a clean edge to both connecting panel 22 and outer top panel 36. By then disengaging the arrowhead tabs 46 from the cut lines 88, the entire outer wrap portion 12 may be removed from the inner carton. In a preferred embodiment, the inner face of the outer wrap portion may be printed with promotional information that becomes visible only once the wrap is removed.
- the inner carton portion is then fully revealed and the product information and/or promotional information provided on panels 14, 16, 18 and 20 is fully visible. Furthermore, connector panels 32 are revealed, thus enabling the recipient to reverse the end panel erection process and thereby gain access to the interior of the inner carton.
- the finger slots 86 make it easier for the locking tabs 34 to be removed.
- the D-shaped projections 78, 80 and 89 enhance the stability of the carton when stood on its end or side edge.
- the carton of the present invention provides an economical, secure, easy to use and physically attractive means for the postal delivery of items such as nutritional supplements, compact discs, DVDs, contact lenses, books and innumerable other items.
- the outer wrap portion need only extend over one, two or three of the inner panels and the location of the cut lines 88 on the inner panel portion may therefore be moved in order to receive the arrowhead tabs.
- Alternative types of tear strip known in the art may be used instead of the arrangement disclosed above, the arrowhead tabs may be replaced by a second adhesive strip or other forms of connector.
- the D-shaped projections 89 may be replaced by recesses that correspond to the shape or arrowhead tabs 46 in order for the insertion of the tabs to be made easier during carton erection and for their removal to be made easier when opening the outer wrap portion. This may result in the tear strip being moved further away from the fold line 54.
- the general dimensions of the carton may be altered, as may the arrangement of end panels and flaps.
