Stand der TechnikState of the art

Kunststoffbehälter werden in mannigfaltiger Form und Ausführung als Packmittel zum Transport und zur Lagerung einer Vielzahl von verschiedensten Packgütern verwendet.Plastic containers are used in manifold form and execution as a means of packaging for the transport and storage of a variety of different packaged goods.

Bei sehr vielen Packgütern ist es notwendig, dass das Packmittel aus Kunststoff eine ausreichende Wasserdampfbarriere bereitstellt, um zum einen ein Eindringen von Feuchtigkeit durch die Packmittelwandungen zum Packgut hin bzw. aus dem Inneren des Packmittels in die Umgebung zu verhindern.In the case of a large number of packaged goods, it is necessary for the plastic packaging material to provide a sufficient water vapor barrier in order to prevent moisture from penetrating through the packaging material walls toward the packaged goods or out of the interior of the packaging material into the environment.

Im erst genannten Fall kann es beispielsweise bei streufähigen Packgütern zu Verklumpungen kommen, so dass eine konveniente Entnahme derartig geschädigter Packgüter aus dem Packmittel nicht mehr gewährleistet ist. Ferner kann durch den eindringenden Wasserdampf das Packgut auch chemisch verändert werden. So bewirkt beispielsweise eindringender Wasserdampf eine Deaktivierung bzw. Abbau von Bleiche und/oder Enzymen in Wasch- und Reinigungsmittelpulvern. Auch nicht gewünschte biologische Effekte wie das Wachstum von Bakterien oder Schimmel im Packgut sind durch einen erhöhten Eintritt von Wasserdampf möglich.In the former case, clumping may occur, for example, in the case of scatterable packaged goods, so that a convenient removal of such damaged packaged goods from the packaging material is no longer guaranteed. Furthermore, the packaging material can also be chemically changed by the penetrating water vapor. For example, penetrating water vapor causes a deactivation or degradation of bleach and / or enzymes in detergent and cleaning agent powders. Also unwanted biological effects such as the growth of bacteria or mold in the packaged goods are possible by an increased occurrence of water vapor.

Insbesondere bei wässrigen Packgütern kann hingegen eine nicht ausreichende Wasserdampfbarriere zu einem Eindicken des Packguts führen, wenn Wasserdampf durch die Packmittelwandung in die Umgebung entweichen kann. Für derartige Packgüter ist dies insbesondere bei warmen Temperaturen oder direkten Sonneneinstrahlung relevant. Dies führt dann zu einem geänderten Fließverhalten und Konzentrationen im flüssigen Packgut, wodurch eine genaue Dosierung für den Anwender erschwert ist. Durch den austretenden Wasserdampf kann es durch den damit einhergehenden Volumenverlust zu einem Einbeulen des entsprechenden Behältnisses kommen, was aus ästethischen Gründen unerwünscht ist.In particular, in the case of aqueous packaged goods, on the other hand, an insufficient water vapor barrier can lead to a thickening of the packaged goods if water vapor can escape into the environment through the packaging wall. For such packaged goods, this is particularly relevant in warm temperatures or direct sunlight. This then leads to a changed flow behavior and concentrations in the liquid packaged goods, whereby a precise dosage for the user is difficult. As a result of the escaping water vapor, the associated loss of volume can lead to buckling of the corresponding container, which is undesirable for esthetic reasons.

Ferner können durch den Flüssigkeitsverlust auch lösliche Bestandteile des flüssigen Produkts ausfallen und sich am Boden des Packmittels absetzen. Schließlich ist die mit dem Entweichen von Wasser einhergehende, schleichende Pegelabsenkung in der Flasche unerwünscht, insbesondere dann, wenn die Flasche transparent ist und ein geringer Füllstandspegel vom Verbraucher wahrgenommen werden kann.Furthermore, due to the loss of liquid, soluble components of the liquid product may also precipitate and settle to the bottom of the packaging. Finally, the creeping decrease in level in the bottle, which accompanies the escape of water, is undesirable, especially if the bottle is transparent and a low level can be perceived by the consumer.

Dies ist insbesondere kritisch bei Kunststoffen nicht fossilen Ursprungs wie beispielsweise bei Kunststoffen auf Stärkebasis oder aus Polylactidsäure, die in der Regel eine vergleichsweise geringe Wasserdampfbarriere aufweisen, so dass diese sogg. Bio-Kunststoffe heute für viele Packgüter nicht geeignet sind.This is particularly critical for plastics of non-fossil origin such as starch-based plastics or polylactic acid, which usually have a relatively low water vapor barrier, so that they sogg. Bio-plastics are not suitable today for many packaged goods.

Üblicherweise werden zur Herstellung derartiger Bio-Kunststoffe nachwachsende, also erneuerbare Ressourcen verwendet. Neben der möglichen Verwendung von jeweils regional verfügbaren Agrarrohstoffen zur Herstellung von Bio-Kunststoffen, ist ein weiterer Vorteil, dass sie nach bestimmungsgemäßer Verwendung auf vergleichsweise einfache und rasche Weise, beispielsweise durch eine Kompostierung nach DIN EN 13432, biologisch abbaubar sind, so dass eine weitergehende Verwendung und verbreiteter Einsatz von Bio-Kunststoffen wünschenswert ist.Usually, renewable, ie renewable resources are used for the production of such bio-plastics. In addition to the possible use of each regionally available agricultural raw materials for the production of bio-plastics, another advantage is that they are biodegradable according to the intended use in a relatively simple and rapid manner, for example by composting according to DIN EN 13432, so that a more extensive Use and widespread use of bio-plastics is desirable.

Zur Verbesserung der Wasserdampfbarriere wurde vielerorts im Stand der Technik vorgeschlagen, derartige Bio-Kunststoffe beispielsweise mit SiOx oder Aluminium zu bedampfen, so dass folglich die gesamte Oberfläche eines hieraus geformten Packmittels eine entsprechende Beschichtung aufweist. Insbesondere die Bedampfung mit Aluminium hat jedoch eine Reihe von Nachteilen. Zum einen verliert eine mit Metallen bedampfte Kunststofffolie ihre Transparenz und zum anderen sind sie üblicherweise ungeeignet für eine Anwendung in einer haushaltsüblichen Mikrowelle, so dass eine Anwendung zur Verpackung und Zubereitung von warmen Nahrungsmitteln regelmäßig ausscheidet. Daneben trägt die aufgedampfte Schicht nicht zu einer Erhöhung der strukturellen Stabilität des geformten Behältnisses bei.To improve the steam barrier, it has been proposed in many places in the prior art to steam such bio-plastics, for example with SiO x or aluminum, so that consequently the entire surface of a packaging material formed therefrom has a corresponding coating. In particular, the evaporation with aluminum, however, has a number of disadvantages. On the one hand, a metal vapor-deposited plastic film loses its transparency and, on the other hand, they are usually unsuitable for use in a household microwave, so that an application for packaging and preparation of hot food regularly eliminates. In addition, the vapor-deposited layer does not contribute to an increase in the structural stability of the molded container.

Des Weiteren verlieren mit Metallen oder SiOx bedampfte Bio-Kunststoffe mit steigenden Metall- oder SiOx-Konzentrationen signifikant ihre an sich gute biologische Abbaubarkeit. Speziell bei metallbedampften Bio-Kunststoffen muss kritisch hinterfragt werden, ob das Einbringen von Metallen wie Aluminium in die Umwelt, die dort üblicherweise auf natürlichem Wege nicht abgebaut sondern lediglich akkumuliert werden, aus ökologischer Sicht sinnvoll ist, insbesondere vor dem Hintergrund, dass neuste Forschungsergebnisse auf einen direkten Zusammenhang von Erkrankungen wie beispielsweise Parkinson-Symdrom oder der Alzheimer-Krankheit mit einer erhöhten Exposition von biologisch resorbierbaren Aluminium hindeuten.Furthermore, bio-plastics vapor-deposited with metals or SiO x with increasing metal or SiO x concentrations significantly lose their inherently good biodegradability. Especially in the case of metal-coated bio-plastics it has to be critically questioned whether the introduction of metals like aluminum into the environment, which are usually not naturally degraded but only accumulated, makes sense from an ecological point of view, especially against the background of the latest research results indicate a direct association of diseases such as Parkinson's disease or Alzheimer's disease with increased exposure to bioabsorbable aluminum.

Aufgabe:Task:

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, die Wasserdampfbarriere eines Packmittels aus Kunststoff, mit einer geringen Wasserdampfbarriere auf Ressourcen schonende, kostengünstige und einfach herzustellende Weise zu verbessern.The object of the invention is therefore to improve the steam barrier of a packaging material made of plastic, with a low water vapor barrier to resource-conserving, cost-effective and easy to produce way.

Die Aufgabe wird durch ein Packmittel mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.The object is achieved by a packaging with the features of claim 1.

Die Vorteile der Erfindung sind zum einen eine Verbesserung der Wasserdampfbarriereeigenschaften, wobei durch das erfindungsgemäße Kunststoffpackmittel eine sortenreine Trennung von biologisch abbaubaren Kunststoffmaterialien und nicht oder nur schwer biologisch abbaubaren Kunststoffmaterialen nach Verwendung der Kartonverpackung gewährleistet ist.The advantages of the invention are, on the one hand, an improvement in the water vapor barrier properties, with the plastic packaging material according to the invention ensuring a pure separation of biodegradable plastic materials and plastic materials which are difficult or not readily biodegradable after use of the cardboard packaging.

Durch die ausschließliche Verwendung von technologisch etablierten Verfahren zur Herstellung der Kartonverpackung kann das erfindungsgemäße Packmittel kostengünstig gefertigt werden.Due to the exclusive use of technologically established methods for producing the cardboard packaging, the packaging material according to the invention can be manufactured inexpensively.

Das erfindungsgemäße Packmittel eignet sich insbesondere zur Befüllung, Lagerung, Transport und Abgabe von fließ- oder streufähigen Produkten, insbesondere für Füllgüter aus der Gruppe der Textilwasch,- reinigungs- und -pflegemittel, Geschirrspülmittel, Körperpflegemittel, Pharmazeutika, Agrarhilfsmittel, Baustoffe, Farbstoffe, Klebstoffe oder Lebensmittel.The packaging material according to the invention is particularly suitable for filling, storage, transport and dispensing of flowable or spreadable products, especially for fillers from the group of textile washing, - cleaning and care products, dishwashing detergents, personal care products, pharmaceuticals, agricultural auxiliaries, building materials, dyes, adhesives or food.

Packmittelpackaging

Die Erfindung ist insbesondere geeignet für im Wesentlichen formstabile Packmittel aus Kunststoff wie beispielsweise Becher, Dosen, Eimer, Fässer, Flaschen, Kanister, Kannen, Trommeln oder Tuben. Sie kann jedoch prinzipiell auch für flexible Behältnisse wie zum Beispiel Beutel oder Säcke verwendet werden.The invention is particularly suitable for substantially dimensionally stable plastic packaging material such as, for example, cups, cans, buckets, barrels, bottles, canisters, cans, drums or tubes. However, it can also be used in principle for flexible containers such as bags or sacks.

Das Packmittel kann jede beliebige Form annehmen. Vorteilhaft sind runde oder abgerundete Querschnittsformen, da an einem Packmittel ausgebildete "scharfe Kanten" zu unerwünschten Spannungsspitzen in dem umhüllenden folienartigen Ausstattungs- und Kennzeichnungsmittel führen und so ein unbeabsichtigtes Reißen des folienartigem Ausstattungs- und Kennzeichnungsmittel bewirken können.The packaging can take any form. Round or rounded cross-sectional shapes are advantageous, since "sharp edges" formed on a packaging material lead to undesirable stress peaks in the enveloping film-like equipment and marking means and thus can cause unintentional tearing of the film-like equipment and identification means.

Damit das Ausstattungs- und Kennzeichnungsmittel problemlos an der Oberfläche des Packmittels anliegt, sollte die Kontur des Packmittels möglichst eben ausgebildet sein. Es ist jedoch möglich, dass Ausstattungs- und Kennzeichnungsmittel in derart auszugestalten, dass es der Kontur des Packmittels eng anliegend folgt.Thus, the equipment and identification means easily rests against the surface of the packaging, the contour of the packaging should be as flat as possible. However, it is possible that equipment and identification means in such a way that it follows the contour of the packaging tight-fitting.

Becher, Dosen und FässerCups, cans and barrels

Die Verbindung zwischen dem Ausstattungs- und Kennzeichnungsmittel und dem Packmittel kann kraftschlüssig, stoffschlüssige und/oder formschlüssig ausgebildet sein. Eine kraftschlüssige Verbindung kann beispielsweise durch Schrumpfung oder Dehnung von Ausstattungs- und Kennzeichnungsmittel gegenüber dem Packmittel realisiert sein. Eine stoffschlüssige Verbindung kann durch eine Klebeverbindung bewirkt sein. Es ist auch denkbar, das Ausstattungs- und Kennzeichnungsmittel stoffschlüssig mittels eines In-Mould-Labeling-Verfahrens mit dem Packmittel zu verbinden.The connection between the equipment and identification means and the packaging can be formed non-positively, cohesively and / or positively. A frictional connection can be realized, for example, by shrinkage or stretching of equipment and identification means relative to the packaging. A cohesive connection can be effected by an adhesive bond. It is also conceivable to connect the equipment and identification means by means of an in-mold labeling method with the packaging material.

Das folienartige Ausstattungs- und Kennzeichnungsmittel hat bevorzugt eine Stärke zwischen 5 µm und 100 µm, besonders bevorzugt zwischen 7,5 µm und 75 µm, insbesondere bevorzugt zwischen 10 µm und 60 µm.The film-like equipment and marking agent preferably has a thickness of between 5 μm and 100 μm, more preferably between 7.5 μm and 75 μm, particularly preferably between 10 μm and 60 μm.

Das Verhältnis der Packmittelmantelstärke zur Stärke des Ausstattungs- und Kennzeichnungsmittel ist vorzugsweise >1. Besonders bevorzugt liegt das Verhältnis der Packmittelmantelstärke zur Stärke des Ausstattungs- und Kennzeichnungsmittels zwischen 1,5 und 100.The ratio of the packaging material jacket thickness to the thickness of the equipment and identification means is preferably> 1. Particularly preferably, the ratio of the packaging material jacket thickness to the thickness of the equipment and identification means is between 1.5 and 100.

Streckfolie, eine Extrusionsfolie, eine Flachfolie, eine gestreckte bzw. orientierte Folie, eine Gießfolie, eine Kalanderfolie, eine Schaumstofffolie, eine Schlauchfolie bzw. Blasfolie oder eine Schrumpffobe handeln.The film can be, for example, a coextruded film, an expansion film, an extrusion film, a flat film, a stretched film, a cast film, a calender film, a foam film, a tubular film or a blown film or a film Act shrink bag.

Es ist bevorzugt, das Ausstattungs- und Kennzeichnungsmittel einlagig am Packmittel anliegend angeordnet.It is preferred that the equipment and identification means arranged in one layer adjacent to the packaging.

In einer weiteren, vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist das Ausstattungs- und Kennzeichnungsmittel lösbar an dem Packmittel angeordnet. Hierdurch kann das Ausstattungs- und Kennzeichnungsmitte auf einfache Art vom Packmittel gelöst und getrennt entsorgt werden, so dass beispielsweise das aus einem biologisch leicht abbaubaren Bio-Kunststoff bestehende Packmittel einer Kompostierung, während das das Ausstattungs- und Kennzeichnungsmittel aus einer Kunststofffolie fossilen Ursprungs einer thermischen Verwertung zugeführt wird.In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the equipment and identification means is detachably arranged on the packaging. As a result, the equipment and labeling center can be easily solved by the packaging and disposed of separately, so that, for example, consisting of a readily biodegradable bio-plastic packaging of a composting, while the equipment and labeling of a plastic film of fossil origin of thermal utilization is supplied.

Das Ausstattungs- und Kennzeichnungsmittel kann durch eine oder mehrere stoffschlüssige Verbindungen am Packmittel fixiert sein. Die stoffschlüssige Verbindung kann derart ausgestaltet sein, dass beim Lösen des Ausstattungs- und Kennzeichnungsmittel vom Packmittel die stoffschlüssige Verbindung zerstört wird und nicht wieder herstellbar ist, so dass das Ausstattungs- und Kennzeichnungsmittel nach seiner Entfernung vom Packmittel nicht mehr durch die ursprüngliche stoffschlüssige Verbindung am Packmittel haftet. Die stoffschlüssige Verbindung kann jedoch auch derart ausgebildet sein, dass ein wiederholtes Lösen und Haften des Ausstattungs- und Kennzeichnungsmittels auf der Verschlusskappe ermöglicht wird.The equipment and identification means may be fixed by one or more cohesive connections to the packaging. The cohesive connection can be configured such that the cohesive connection is destroyed during the release of the equipment and identification means from the packaging and can not be restored, so that the equipment and identification means no longer removed by the original cohesive connection to the packaging after its removal from the packaging liable. However, the cohesive connection can also be designed such that a repeated release and adhesion of the equipment and marking means is made possible on the cap.

Die stoffschlüssige Verbindung kann beispielsweise aus der Gruppe der Klebeverbindungen, Schweißverbindungen oder Siegelverbindungen ausgewählt sein.The cohesive connection can be selected, for example, from the group of adhesive bonds, welded joints or sealing compounds.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die verwendete Klebeschicht eine Wasserdampfbarriere bereitstellt. So ist es auch vorstellbar, dass die Wasserdampfbarriere der Klebeschicht größer ist, als die Wasserdampfbarriere des über der Klebeschicht liegenden Ausstattungs- und Kennzeichnungsmittels. In diesem Fall ist es von Vorteil, die Klebeschicht geschlossenflächig zwischen Ausstattungs- und Kennzeichnungsmittel und Packmittel auszubilden.It is particularly advantageous if the adhesive layer used provides a water vapor barrier. Thus, it is also conceivable that the water vapor barrier of the adhesive layer is greater than the water vapor barrier of the overlying the adhesive layer equipment and marking agent. In this case, it is advantageous to form the adhesive layer closed area between equipment and identification means and packaging.

Um das Ablösen des Ausstattungs- und Kennzeichnungsmittels zu erleichtern, kann am Ausstattungs- und Kennzeichnungsmittel eine Öffnungshilfe vorgesehen sein, die das Entfernen des Ausstattungs- und Kennzeichnungsmittels ohne Zuhilfenahme von Öffnungsmitteln, wie beispielsweise einer Schere oder eines Messers, gestatten.In order to facilitate the detachment of the equipment and marking means, an opening aid may be provided on the equipment and identification means, which allow the removal of the equipment and marking means without the aid of opening means, such as a pair of scissors or a knife.

Derartige Öffnungshilfen können beispielsweise als Perforation, Abreißlasche, Aufreißband, Aufreißfaden, Aufreißlasche, Aufreißnaht, Ritzaufreißlinie oder Rumpfaufreißband ausgebildet sein.Such opening aids can be designed, for example, as a perforation, tear-off tab, tear tape, tear-open thread, tear-open tab, tear-open seam, scribe tear-open line or trunk tear strip.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, dass das Ausstattungs- und Kennzeichnungsmittel die Mantelfläche des Packmittels im Wesentlichen vollständig überdeckt, wobei der Boden des Packmittels vom Ausstattungs- und Kennzeichnungsmittel im Wesentlichen unumschlossen bleibt. In einer weiteren, bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung, sind zwischen 50 - 95% der Packmitteloberfläche von den Ausstattungs- und Kennzeichnungsmitteln überdeckt. Besonders bevorzugt ist es, zwischen 65 - 90% der Packmitteloberfläche mit den Ausstattungs- und Kennzeichnungsmittein zu überdecken. Hierdurch wird zum einen eine für eine große Vielzahl von möglichen Anwendungsfällen hinreichende Wasserdampfbarriere realisiert.It is particularly advantageous that the equipment and identification means substantially completely covers the lateral surface of the packaging means, the bottom of the packaging material remaining substantially unenclosed by the equipment and identification means. In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, between 50-95% of the surface of the packaging material is covered by the equipment and identification means. It is particularly preferred to cover between 65-90% of the surface of the packaging material with the equipment and labeling means. As a result, on the one hand, a sufficient water vapor barrier is realized for a large number of possible applications.

In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist das Ausstattungs- und Kennzeichnungsmittel formschlüssig durch ein In-Mould-Labeling Verfahren mit dem Packmittel verbunden.In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the equipment and identification means is positively connected by an in-mold labeling method with the packaging.

Das Ausstattungs- und Kennzeichnungsmittel ist aus einem Packstoff geformt, der eine Wasserdampfdurchlässigkeit kleiner als 15 g/(m2*d) aufweist.The equipment and marking means is molded from a packaging material having a water vapor permeability of less than 15 g / (m 2 * d).

Der Packstoff des Ausstattungs- und Kennzeichnungsmittels sollte eine gute Bedruckbarkeit aufweisen. Der Packstoff kann im Wesentlichen vollflächig bedruckt und somit im Wesentlichen opak ausgebildet sein, wodurch er eine entsprechend gute UV-Barriere bildet, die den Inhalt des Packmittels vor UV-Strahlung aus der Umgebung schützt. Dies ist insbesondere von Vorteil bei Packgütern mit UV-sensiblen Inhaltsstoffen, wie Enzymen, Vitaminen, Farb- oder Duftstoffen etc..The packaging material of the equipment and marking agent should have good printability. The packaging material can be substantially printed over the entire surface and thus formed substantially opaque, whereby it forms a correspondingly good UV barrier, which protects the contents of the packaging from UV radiation from the environment. This is particularly advantageous for packaged goods with UV-sensitive ingredients, such as enzymes, vitamins, dyes or fragrances etc.

Der Packstoff kann auch spezielle UV-Barrierestoffe und/oder UV-Stabilisatoren enthalten. Dies kann insbesondere bei der Verwendung eines zu großen Anteilen transparenten Ausstattungs- und Kennzeichnungsmittels von Vorteil sein, um ein UV-sensibles Packgut zu schützen. Die Verwendung von UV-Barrierestoffen im Ausstattungs- und Kennzeichnungsmittel hat ferner den Vorteil, dass im Ausstattungs- und Kennzeichnungsmittels vergleichsweise weniger UV-Barrierestoffe für eine definierte UV-Barrierewirkung eingebracht werden müssen als im Packmittelmaterial, so dass die entsprechende UV-Barriere kostengünstiger herstellbar ist.The packaging material may also contain special UV barrier substances and / or UV stabilizers. This may be particularly advantageous when using too large a proportion of transparent equipment and marking agent to protect a UV-sensitive packaged goods. The use of UV barrier substances in the equipment and marking agent also has the advantage that in the equipment and labeling comparatively less UV barrier substances must be introduced for a defined UV barrier effect than in the packaging material, so that the corresponding UV barrier is less expensive to produce ,

Es ist jedoch auch denkbar, dass die Oberfläche des Packmittels bedruckt und von einer transparenten Ausstattungs- und Kennzeichnungsmittel umschlossen ist.However, it is also conceivable that the surface of the packaging printed and enclosed by a transparent equipment and identification means.

Geeignete Packstoffe für das Ausstattungs- und Kennzeichnungsmittel können beispielsweise ausgewählt sein aus der Gruppe der Polyolefine, Polyethylenterephthalate, Acrylnitril-Butadien-Styrol-Copolymere, Celluloseacetate, Ionomere, Polyacrylnitrile, Polyamide, Polycarbonate, Polyester, Polystyrole, Polyterephthalsäureester, Polyurethane, Polyvinylalkohole, Polyvinylchloride. Insbesondere kann der Packstoff für das Ausstattungs- und Kennzeichnungsmittel ein Polyethylen oder Polypropylen sein.Suitable packaging materials for the equipment and marking agent may for example be selected from the group of polyolefins, polyethylene terephthalates, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymers, cellulose acetates, ionomers, polyacrylonitriles, polyamides, polycarbonates, polyesters, polystyrenes, polyterephthalic acid esters, polyurethanes, polyvinyl alcohols, polyvinyl chlorides. In particular, the packaging material for the equipment and marking agent may be a polyethylene or polypropylene.

Um eine besonders gute Wasserdampfbarriere zu realisieren, können auch mehrschichtige und/oder Verbundfolien als Ausstattungs- und Kennzeichnungsmittel verwendet werden. Besonders bevorzugt sind hierbei mehrschichtige Folien oder Verbünde bestehend aus PET-Al-PE, PET-PE oder BOPP-PE.In order to realize a particularly good water vapor barrier, it is also possible to use multilayered and / or composite films as equipment and identification means. Particularly preferred in this case are multilayer films or composites consisting of PET-Al-PE, PET-PE or BOPP-PE.
