Definitions

  • the invention is in the field of packaging for chocolate bars. These packages are preferably designed with viewing windows to visually present the package contents to the customer.
  • Chocolate bars are usually wrapped in an aluminum foil and wrapped with a stronger paper on which information about the product is printed.
  • the paper of the outer packaging is replaced by cardboard, which provides additional mechanical protection and is preferred by the customer in terms of appearance and feel in the upper price segment.
  • Another common way to package chocolate bars is by welding them into plastic packaging and printing or sticking them with product-relevant information. This type of packaging is commonly used on cheap products.
  • plastic packaging can at most be used as inner packaging, which is supplemented by an outer packaging made of cardboard.
  • the American patent US 3,803,332 shows a package for bacon slices, which is constructed of a cardboard outer packaging with viewing window and an inner packaging with a stable film.
  • the transparent area clears the view of the product.
  • a transparent film is provided here, which protects the product against discoloration by oxidation.
  • a major drawback of the prior art is that packages are disclosed which do not allow for customization depending on the package contents when packaging the product.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a package which avoids the disadvantages of the prior art.
  • the object is achieved by the packaging defined in the independent claim and relates to the high variability of the packaging design without costly conversion of the equipment during the packaging process.
  • Preferred embodiments of the packaging result from the dependent claims.
  • Packaging requirements for chocolate are becoming ever more stringent, on the one hand to optimally present the product to the customer, and on the other hand to protect the contents of the packaging from breakage and optical changes, eg due to UV radiation and temperature fluctuations.
  • This allows an at least two-part construction, comprising an inner packaging and an outer packaging.
  • Each type of chocolate places different demands on the packaging process.
  • Nusssplittern care should be taken to use an inner packaging, which has a sufficient tensile strength.
  • plastic packaging since these can not be penetrated by the sometimes pointed Nusssplittern. Any damage to the packaging prior to sale would greatly reduce the value of the product.
  • Other types of chocolate must be protected from UV light, which requires opaque packaging.
  • a significant advantage of the invention compared to the prior art results from the possibility of using an inner packaging, which is composed of at least two different film materials, multi-layered.
  • the inner packaging then has, for example, two films, one of the two films being transparent and the other being intransparent.
  • the transparent film may for example be made of a weldable plastic film, such as PP or PE. It was found that a plastic film with a thickness of 15-30 ⁇ m proves to be advantageous in terms of tensile strength in the packaging of nut chocolate.
  • a metal foil may be used, preferably an aluminum foil having a thickness of 8-15 ⁇ m.
  • the structure of the inner packaging of at least two materials can be implemented by the fact that the transparent film is coated with the non-transparent film.
  • the metal foil conceals selected areas of the plastic film. Any parts of the product are covered or exposed.
  • appropriate viewing windows can be created in the inner packaging.
  • the coating with film can for example also be done so that different Pattern can be applied to the transparent material.
  • the pattern can not only arise through the application of film, but also by color printing or by selective coloring of the desired film areas of the inner packaging. A further possibility results from simply replacing the transparent area of the inner packaging with an intransparent area and thus obscuring the view of the product or only partially releasing it.
  • the view of the viewing window of the inner packaging is exposed by a first viewing window in the outer packaging.
  • the first window in the outer packaging can have any geometric shape. For example, it can be rectangular, square, or round.
  • the second window of the inner packaging Under the first window of the outer packaging is the second window of the inner packaging, which is designed for example as a transparent region of the inner packaging.
  • the design of the viewing window of the inner packaging and the optical effects generated by the interaction of the first and second viewing window can be changed almost arbitrarily. This change can be achieved, for example, by turning the inner packaging in the outer packaging.
  • chocolate packaging is made with a commercial table winding machine.
  • This type of machine is used to wrap the product with a preferably rectangular or square inner packaging and outer packaging.
  • plates and bars between 30 g and 1000 g can be packed.
  • the range is between 30 g and 500 g. It is common in the same table winding machines to wrap bars or bars in small packaging sizes, for example under 100g, but also in large packaging sizes, for example 400 g.
  • the inner packaging When packing the chocolate, the inner packaging is folded first and then the outer packaging. It has been found that the use of the currently available in the process commercial Tafelwickelmaschine without further adaptation is only possible if the wide-side and the longitudinal sides extending flaps of the inner packaging are made of a material which remains in the desired folded position after folding and not return to the starting position. It has proved to be advantageous if the broad-side closure flaps are preferably designed as nontransparent areas, for example as a film composite of metal foil and plastic film, since these apply less restoring forces against the direction of folding during folding. The metal foil reduces the restoring forces of the plastic film. After completion of the folding process, the wide-side flaps lie on the non-transparent areas or even the transparent areas of the package and maintain this shape.
  • the folding can be carried out depending on the setting of the table winding machine so that the broadside flaps are trapezoidal, triangular or rectangular after completion of the folding process.
  • FIG. 1 shows the outer packaging 1 in the unfolded state.
  • the viewing window 2 is designed as a square recess in the outer packaging 1.
  • the viewing window can also assume any other arbitrary shape and be positioned at other locations of the outer packaging 1.
  • This chocolate bar 31 is, as in FIG. 3 represented, surrounded by an inner packaging 25.
  • FIG. 2 shows the inner packaging 25 in the unfolded, opened outer packaging. 1
  • the inner packaging 25 is designed so that the transparent region 20 of the inner packaging comprises a viewing window with a height of 6 cm, which lies in the folded state of the outer packaging 1 behind the viewing window 2 of the outer packaging 1, so that the view of the chocolate board 31 is released.
  • Connected to the transparent area of the inner package 25 is an intransparent area 18 with a height of 8 cm.
  • To the non-transparent area of the inner packaging 18 closes a transparent area 21 with a height of 0.5 cm, to which an intransparent area 19 with a height of 4 cm borders.
  • the closure of the inner packaging is first carried out by a cohesive composite material 23, 15.
  • the inner packaging is closed with the longitudinally extending closure flap of the inner packaging 26.
  • the subsequent folding of the wide-side flaps of the inner packaging 16, 22 takes place in such a way that the wide-side flap of the inner packaging 22, 16 lie on the non-transparent areas of the inner packaging 17, 19 and no longer move away from this position.
  • the two side flaps 8, 9 extending on the broad side are first folded along the wide-side fold lines 4, 7, so that they rest on the wide-opening flaps of the inner packaging 16, 22 come.
  • the folding of the longitudinal side extending side flap 10 along the longitudinally extending fold line 5.
  • the lid of the outer packaging 27 is folded along the longitudinally extending fold line 6 and connected to the longitudinal side extending side flap 10 cohesively.
  • longitudinal side surfaces 11, 12 and side surfaces 13, 14 extending on the width side arise.
  • FIG. 4 discloses further exemplary embodiments of the invention. It is obvious to the person skilled in the art that enormous possibilities of variation exist with regard to the design possibilities of the outer packaging and the inner packaging.
  • FIG. 5 discloses a multi-layered inner package.
  • a first film 28 is laminated to a second film 29.
  • the first film forms a cohesive composite material with the second film.
