Definitions

  • the invention relates to a bundle pack for cigarettes with the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • a cigarette package with the above features is evident DE 296 22 554 U1 ,
  • a group of ten packaged cigarette packs is surrounded by a container blank of paper, metallized paper or similar material.
  • the group of cigarette packets is completely enveloped by the container blank, with the formation of folds on the small-area end sides of the container.
  • the blank is provided with transverse, all-round lines of weakness (lines of perforation) applied in the region of dividing planes of adjacent pairs of cigarette packets. With the help of these weakening lines, it is possible to obtain by breaking or by cutting through the container wrapping in the region of the weakening lines units from two cigarette packs with a partial wrapping of the container blank.
  • the invention is based on the object, packs of cigarettes form so that on the one hand an attractive appearance, but on the other hand, the cost of materials is limited, the bundle pack should be produced using conventional packaging machines.
  • the bundle pack according to the invention is designed in accordance with claim 1.
  • a sleeve made of thin cardboard open on both sides is used as an envelope of the packing group.
  • the sleeve has a reduced longitudinal dimension such that the length of the sleeve is reduced by the dimension of a package.
  • the present bundle packs serve to accommodate cigarette packs 10 in the form of a folding box. It is the world-wide hard pack made of thin cardboard.
  • the cuboid cigarette packet 10 with box part 11 and cover 12 consists of large front wall 13 and rear wall 14, narrow, upright side walls 15, 16 and an upper end wall 17 in the region of the lid 12 and a lower bottom wall 18 of the box part eleventh
  • cigarette packs 10 form a pack group 19.
  • the cigarette packs 10 are arranged within the pack group 19 in a special formation.
  • two rows of packages 20, 21 are formed, each consisting of five packets of cigarettes 10.
  • the rows of packages 20, 21 are aligned adjacent to each other, so that in the present embodiment, five pairs of cigarette packs 10 form the pack group 19.
  • the cigarette packs 10 with the narrow side walls 15, 16 and the cigarette packs 10 adjacent to the pack rows 20, 21 are in contact with the large-area walls, namely front wall 13 and rear wall 14.
  • the thus formed packing group 19 is surrounded by a first blank, namely an inner wrapping 22.
  • This consists of packaging material with increased dimensional stability, in particular of (thin) cardboard.
  • the enclosure 22 encloses the package group 19 as a rectangular cross-section sleeve to form large longitudinal walls 23, 24 and narrower transverse walls, namely top wall 25 and bottom wall 26.
  • the enclosure 22 of the packing group 19 is open at both ends.
  • Fig. 1 is provided as outer cover for the unit of pack group 19 and enclosure 22, an outer panel 27 of very thin packaging material, in particular transparent or clear film.
  • This outer pack is designed as a complete enclosure with an end fold 28 on the two end faces of the pack group 19, ie on the two adjacent side walls 15, 16 of the peripheral pairs of cigarette packs 10.
  • the outer envelope of the bundle pack formed by the outer cut 27 is provided with an opening aid, here with a around running tear strip 29, which has a protruding and thus detectable touch tab 30 in the region of a longitudinal edge. The outer cut 27 is removed when putting the bundle pack with the help of the tear strip 29.
  • the sleeve-like sheath 22 is matched to the dimension of the packing group 19.
  • End surfaces of the package group 19, namely side walls 15, 16 of the peripheral cigarette packs 10, are flush with end edges of the enclosure 22, so that a total exactly cuboid unit with continuous surfaces of the enclosure 22 is formed.
  • the envelope 22 may be provided in a conventional manner with decorative and / or informative printing.
  • a special feature is in accordance with the embodiment according to the invention Fig. 1 to Fig. 4 realized.
  • the longitudinal dimension of the envelope 22 is reduced relative to the corresponding dimension of the package group 19, in this case exactly the transverse dimension of a cigarette packet 10, so the transverse dimension of front wall 13 and rear wall 14.
  • the shortened envelope 22 is positioned centrally on the package group 19, so in that the two edge-side cigarette packs 10 protrude from the casing 22 at both ends, in each case (approximately) with half the width ( Fig. 2 ).
  • the entirety of the cigarette packs 10 of the pack group 19 is thus detected and fixed by the cover 22 attached under a certain tension.
  • the material requirement is reduced.
  • essential areas of the cigarette packs 10 are visible.
  • the above embodiment of the package allows a special use of the same.
  • two of the marginal cigarette pack 10 are removed from the enclosure 22 ( Fig. 3 ).
  • the remaining (eight) packets of cigarettes 10 are displaced in the enclosure 22, so that they now flush with the rest of the pack group.
  • Other cigarette packs may be removed from the enclosure 22 as needed.
  • the sheath 22 is provided with transverse or circumferential weakening lines, here preferably with a plurality of parallel perforation lines 31. These are positioned so that they lie in the region of a transverse division plane between adjacent cigarette packs 10 of the pack group 19.
  • (three) perforation lines 31 are arranged to lie in the region of a transverse division plane between adjacent pairs of cigarette packs 10 after removal of two cigarette packs and displacement of the rest pack group ( Fig. 4 ). It can thereby be separated units consisting of two cigarette packs 10 and a wrapping section 32. This small unit is suitable as a sales and handling package.
  • transverse perforation lines 31 are provided. These allow the separation of packing units with two cigarette packs 10 and a wrapping section 32.
  • the blank for the wrapper 22 has a simple, rectangular shape (FIG. Fig. 6 ).
  • the blank is prepared in such a way that in the longitudinal direction of the envelope 22 to be produced extending fold lines 33 are formed in the packaging material (cardboard). These are four parallel fold lines 33 for delimiting the walls 23. 23 of the envelope 22.
  • the fold lines 33 are designed in particular as molded embossed lines. Weakening lines, in particular the perforation lines 31, run transversely to these. These are arranged so that the covering sections 32 can be separated from the covering 22 (FIG. Fig. 4 ). In this embodiment, therefore, freely parallel perforation lines 31 are attached. In the embodiment according to Fig. 5 the blank is provided with four such perforation 31.
  • the blank is folded over in the usual way around the package group 19, such that in the region of the bottom wall 26 edge tabs 34, 35 of the blank form an overlap.
  • An outer edge tab 34 extends substantially over the full width of the bottom wall 26.
  • the inner edge tab 35 is formed with reduced width and the inside connected to the edge tabs 34 by gluing.
  • the cigarette packs 10 in the form of a folding box are arranged such that the bottom walls 18 each rest on the bottom wall 26 of the casing 22. Adjacent cigarette packs 10 are positioned lying on front wall 13 and rear wall 14.
  • the bundle pack is also a special feature for other non-inventive formations of cigarette packs 10.
  • the (ten) cigarette packs 10 may be positioned adjacent to each other in a single row with the large packing surfaces, ie contiguous with the front wall 13 and rear wall 14 (transverse position).
  • a sheath 22 is attached, which extends over the full length of the packing group 19 (analogous to Fig. 5 ).
  • the front or back sides of the end packs are visible over the entire surface.
  • the configuration of the bundle pack is particularly advantageous if the outer cut 27 consists of a shrink film, that is to say of a film which in particular shrinks by heat treatment and thereby rests under tension on the wrapping 22 or the packing group 19.
  • the outer covering that is to say the outer cut 27.
  • the ready-to-pack package is accordingly Fig. 2 or accordingly Fig. 5 educated.
