Definitions

  • the invention relates to a packaging for products, in particular for products from the sanitary sector, which comprise different product items to be packed, and a method for packaging a product using an aforementioned package.
  • Multi-part products such as sanitary fittings, shower systems, shower rods, which include, for example, a shower bar with wall holder, sealing and fastening elements, escutcheons, hose and shower heads, are commonly packaged together and delivered together in an overall package.
  • the product items are each additionally packed separately in smaller individual packages within the overall packaging, or in subdivisions or special "arrangement compartments" specially adapted to the respective product with its product items.
  • Such packages often require additional, likewise adapted Styrofoam inserts or cardboard inserts for fixing the product items within the individual packages or the "arrangement compartments" to avoid slipping inside the packaging.
  • the invention is based on the object to provide a package for a product with different product items, with the problems of the prior art can be avoided, which can be adapted in particular easily and without much effort flexibly to different products and the first glance a completeness check and a simple and targeted unpacking of product items allows.
  • a package for a product according to the invention comprising different product items to be packaged, comprises a product article carrier having an assembly side and a removal side opposite to the assembly side.
  • a number of arrangement areas are specified on the arrangement side, wherein at least one associated product item is to be arranged in a respective arrangement area.
  • the package of the present invention comprises a fixing film, particularly a flexible one, which completely covers the arrangement side and the product items arranged on the arrangement side, and which is connected to the arrangement side so that the product items are fixed on the product item carrier in its arrangement position.
  • the product article carrier has perforations in and around the placement areas, which are adapted to allow removal of a respective product item on the removal side by tearing the product article carrier along the perforation.
  • the fixing film is not connected to the product article carrier in the area in which the product items are arranged, but forms a type of cavity in which the respective product items are arranged.
  • the product article carrier is formed flat and made of cardboard or cardboard or a material which is perforable.
  • a stiffness of the product article carrier is preferably matched to the particular product items to be packaged or the product.
  • forms of the perforations or a course of perforated lines are designed such that they correspond to contours or corresponding contours of associated product items. By tearing the associated perforations, the product items can be removed from the withdrawal side of the package.
  • the packaging according to the invention allows a targeted individual removal of required product items, while unnecessary product items can remain protected in the packaging until they are needed.
  • icons are provided on the removal side opposite to the arrangement areas, which correspond to the associated product items.
  • images which each show the corresponding product item and / or inscriptions may also be provided, so that it is also apparent from the removal side at first sight in which arrangement region which product item is arranged.
  • the symbols or the images or the labels form an assembly instruction or at least a part of the assembly instructions.
  • the contents of the package can also be seen directly from the removal side. It is not necessary first of all product items to remove from the packaging or to contact the product retailer to get an overview of the package contents. Inscriptions can also be used to specify an assembly order.
  • the packaging according to the invention is therefore particularly suitable for products which have to be assembled for their use from the product items in a predetermined order, since the product items can be removed from the packaging in a targeted manner in the required order.
  • the product item carrier has removal aids for easier removal of the product items in the arrangement areas, in particular holes and / or flaps, in order to facilitate tearing along the perforation.
  • the removal aids are preferably each arranged directly adjacent to the perforation. It is advantageous if the removal aids are dimensioned so that engagement with the fingers is easily possible and a Kirri touchder section of the product item holder is easily accessible.
  • the removal aids are reinforced trained perforations, so more perforated.
  • the product article carrier has a flat section in which the arrangement regions are provided, and a peripheral, trough-forming edge section produced by being edged by 90 °.

  • the edge portion is wider than a maximum height of the product or a respective product item, so that the edge portion projects beyond all product items and forms a protective trough with the product item carrier, in which the product is arranged.
  • the fixing film is a skin film and / or a self-adhesive film.
  • a skin film is distinguished by the fact that it encloses the product to be packaged skin tight, but without being glued to the product. If a self-adhesive film is used, it may be advantageous if the product items are additionally packaged separately, for example in foil bags. In this way, sticking of the self-adhesive film directly to the product items can be prevented.

In this way, a simple and targeted unpacking of the individual product items is possible even with a packaging with an outer packaging body. Thus, to remove the product items from the package, it is not necessary to remove the product item carrier from the package outer body and to turn it over.
  • the packaging outer body has a transparent window, which is preferably arranged such that the arrangement side of the product article carrier inserted into the packaging outer body is visible through the window.
  • the product items are placed in the respective associated arrangement areas on the assembly side of the product article carrier and then fixed on the product article carrier by the fixing film.
  • the product item carrier is at least partially and the product items arranged on the product item carrier completely covered with the fixing film and the fixing subsequently connected to the product item carrier.
  • the fixing film is glued to the product item carrier. It may be advantageous to evacuate the resulting cavities in the arrangement areas in order to achieve improved fixation of the individual product items.
  • a shrink film can be used as a fixing, which is shrunk.
