Definitions
- the present invention refers to a packaging, particularly useful in all cases in which products with severe hygiene and/or food standards must be packaged in medium-large quantities.
- the present invention refers to a packaging characterised in that it consists of two containers, a rigid and a flexible one, the rigid one being capable of containing the flexible one.
- fig. 1 is a perspective view of a component of the packaging according to the present invention
- fig. 2 is a perspective view of another component of the packaging according to the present invention
- fig. 3 is a perspective view of the packaging according to the present i ⁇ vention
- fig. 4 is a detail of fig. 2
- fig. 5 is a detail of fig. 1
- fig. 6 is a detail of fig. 3
- fig. 7 is a detail of a cover for the packaging according to the present invention
- fig. 8 is another detail of a cover for the packaging according to the present invention
- fig. 1 is a perspective view of a component of the packaging according to the present invention
- fig. 2 is a perspective view of another component of the packaging according to the present invention
- fig. 3 is a perspective view of the packaging according to the present i ⁇ vention
- fig. 4 is a detail of fig. 2
- fig. 5 is a detail of fig. 1
- FIG. 9 is a view of a cover to be used with the packaging according to the present invention.
- fig. 10 shows an alternative embodiment of a cover for the packaging according to the present invention;
- fig. 11 is a perspective view of the packaging according to the present invention, with the cover according to fig. 10.
- the packaging 1 consists of a rigid, preferably re-usable container 2, and of a flexible, generally disposable container 3.
- "Rigid” and “flexible” in the present description are to be understood as relative concepts, i.e. “more rigid than the other” and “more flexible than the other", the degree of rigidity being able to vary also remarka- bly in the different embodiments, without departing from the scope of the present invention.
- possible materials are thermoplastic materials, aluminium, alloys or wood.
- polypropylene is generally preferred, be it atactic, isotactic or Sindiotactic. Regenerated or first- quality material may be used, while concerning container 3, first-quality polypropylene for food purposes is normally used.
- Cover 4 which may be of the same material as container 3, may be applied removably or it may be fastened sealed and apt to be torn open by means of suitable fastening tabs 5, 6, as ex- emplifyingly shown in figs. 7 and 8.
- an RFID labelling 7 is shown, to be applied to container 2 and/or to container 3.
- a crate of plastic material is used as con- tainer 2, comprising a gripping opening 8 and a pair of drainage holes 9, 10 on each of the two short sides thereof.
- holes 9, 10 there are found equal holes 11, 12, equally for drainage purposes, on container 3.
- Container 2 is made of a relatively rigid mate- rial, which makes it suitable for transport and for non- excessively careful handling. Such rigidity also allows indefinite reuse of container 2, which is generally reusable.
- Container 3 is normally made of a material suitable for food or even sterile and is introduced in container 2, whereto it ad- heres perfectly, as can be seen for example in fig. 3.
- Cover 4 allows closure thereof, possibly through a hermetic seal, in order to preserve hygiene to the desired degree (from ordinary hygiene for food, for example fresh fish products, to the highest asepsis of certain drugs or biological materials) .
- cover 4 has four drainage through-holes 13 in correspondence of holes 9 to 12.
- container 3 When it is hence desired to use the packaging according to the present invention, container 3 is filled with the goods to be transported and cover 4 is closed, possibly through a seal. Container 3 is introduced into container 2, taking care that the former does not become damaged.
- the presence of holes 11, 12 in container 3 allows any condensation and waste liquids to be drained, flowing out through holes 9, 10, so as to preserve the goods in the best possible condition, also due to the ventilation being provided in return through the same holes. This becomes even easier if cover 4 has holes 13.
- the transport of packaging 1 is now easy, like that of any crate, thanks to the openings .
- the presence of identification devices I 1 for example an RFID, allows to make packaging 1 according to the present invention eco-friendly .
- an RFID 7 found on con- tainer 2 allows to trace the same container anywhere, so that it may be returned to the base for renewed use. Should it be disposed of in the environment, it could be easily traced, so as not to create .soiling.
- An RFID found on container 3 may have a twofold function. It may univocally identify the goods contained in container 3, possibly also providing information on the state of conservation and/or on expiry. Moreover, it can serve also to trace the container, should it be disposed of incorrectly, since the material is perfectly recyclable.
- the packaging according to the present invention thereby allows effortless transport of special materials, without imposing disposing costs, since container 2 is reusable and container 3 is recyclable.
- the present invention thereby concerns also a goods han- dling process which provides the following steps: a) arrangement of the goods into a container 3 made of material suitable for foodstuffs; b) RFID labelling of container 3 with the features of the goods; c) introduction of container 3 into a more rigid container 2, to form a packaging 1; d) transport to destination of packaging 1; e) removal of container 3 from container 2; f) opening of container 3 and removal of the goods; g) sending emptied container 3 to plastic recycling plant; h) return of container 2.
- labelling steps also of container 2 and steps of application of a cover 4, as well as sealing steps may be provided.
