  • the front sides of the chambers are transparent, for example, whose backs are white, colored or metallized. It is also possible to provide different sizes and different valve designs of the chambers.
  • a packaging can be used as one-way packaging. This eliminates a costly cleaning or disinfection of the packaging, which is particularly advantageous when used in hospitals for outpatient treatment.
  • Fig. 1 represents a packaging 1 according to the invention with three adjacent chambers 2, which chambers 2 each have a closure opening 3 at their upper side in the figure.
  • the packaging 1 is made of a flexible film material 4 made of a plastic, for example cast polypropylene (CPP, unstretched polypropylene). Compared to conventional PE films, CPP is characterized by a very high transparency 12. Because of the transparent film material 12, the respective contents of the individual chambers, usually tablets stored in portions, can be seen particularly comfortably from the outside.
  • CPP cast polypropylene
  • Each closure opening 3 of the chamber 2 has a closure system 5, which allows filling and emptying of the chambers 2.
  • a closure flap 11 which is arranged on the upper side of each chamber 2 provided with the closure opening 3 and made of the same flexible film material 4, is plugged into a push-in flap 11.1 for closing.
  • a labeling field 14 for labeling or printing is provided on the outside of the package 1.
  • the individual chambers 2 are each closed by means of welds 15 on three sides or separated from one another by these welds 15. Due to the flexible film material 4, the package 1 can be particularly easily folded or rolled up.
  • Fig. 2 relates to an embodiment of a package 1, which is opposite to in Fig. 1 shown packaging 1 differs essentially by the nature of the closure system 5 of each chamber 2.
  • a pressure closure 6 is provided which has a closure profile comprising tongue and groove at each closure opening 3.
  • Such pressure closures for ziplock bags are offered under a wide variety of product names and brand names, such as Leistenver gleich-, quick-closing or reclosure bag.
  • the chamber 2 is approximately hermetically sealed.
  • the pressure lock 6 can be opened and closed as often as desired and is thus particularly suitable for removing tablets 13 or small parts of all kinds, such as spices, samples and products that are only partially removed or re-packaged after use.
  • FIG. 3 to FIG. 5 each show packaging 1, which comprise four juxtaposed chambers 2.
  • the chambers 2 each have pressure locks 6.
  • PE polyethylene
  • the front side of the chambers 2 being transparent or the backside being made of a white, opaque material.
  • Labeling fields 14 are provided on the transparent front side of the chambers 2, some of which are already printed and partly inscribable.
  • the packaging 1 in Fig. 4 is made of a film material 4 made of polypropylene (PP) and also has a pressure closure 6.
  • the labeling fields 14 differ slightly from those in FIG Fig. 3 illustrated embodiment.
  • Fig. 5 shows a package 1 with four chambers 2, which are each equipped with closure tabs 11 for closing the shutter openings 3.
  • the closure tabs 11 are in each case inserted into push-in tabs 11.1 or pulled out of the push-in tabs 11.1 to open the chambers 2.
  • the closure tab 11 of the third chamber 2 is shown from the left in the closed state.
  • FIGS. 6A to 6H each show in detail different closure systems 5, which are individually or jointly suitable for closing the closure openings 3 of the chambers 2 of a package 1 according to the invention.
  • Fig. 6A, 6C and FIG. 6D respectively show pressure seals 6, which have a closure profile comprising tongue and groove.
  • a first pressure closure strip 6.1 is arranged in the form of a groove, which is engageable in a second, the first pressure closure strip 6.1 complementary pressure closure strip 6.2 in the form of a spring in engagement.
  • the second pressure closure strip 6.2 is fastened, for example, on the outside or on the front side of the respective chamber 2.
  • the pressure lock 6 can be easily closed by squeezing the two pressure closure strips 6.1 and 6.2. By pulling apart the two pressure closure strips 6.1 and 6.2, the pressure closure 6 can also be opened again.
  • Fig. 6A shows a laterally beveled locking tab 11, in which the first pressure closure strip 6.1 is designed slightly shorter than the second pressure closure strip 6.2.
  • Fig. 6C shows a pressure closure 6 with a closure tab 11, in which the two pressure closure strips 6.1 and 6.2 have substantially the same length.
  • the in Fig. 6D illustrated pressure closure 6 has a rounded closure tab 11.
  • the chamber 2 can be deformed particularly flexible in the region of the closure flap 11 due to this configuration of the closure flap 11 in the closed state, when the two complementary pressure closure strips 6.1 and 6.2 are connected to one another. Thus, larger portions of tablets can be stored safely in such a chamber 2.
  • Fig. 6B shows a closure system 5 with a locking tab 11 which can be inserted for closing in a tuck 11.1.
  • Fig. 6E illustrates a closure system 5 comprising a slide fastener 7, which is provided with a slider 7.1.
  • the slider 7.1 slides in mutually complementary GleitverBankn the sliding closure 7 and can be pushed back and forth in the direction of arrow 7.2.
  • the two are brought together by the slider 7.1 and the chamber 2 is closed.
  • the sliding closure strips are again separated from each other and the closure opening 3 is in turn released for removal of the chamber contents.
  • the sliding closure strips have a similarity with the pressure closure strips in the case of a pressure closure and, like these, are usually welded onto the film material 4.
  • the sliding closure 7 differs from the pressure closure 6 in that the two complementary sliding closure strips do not have to be manually pressed together or opened again by pulling apart, but that this is done by the slider 7.1 during the sliding movement 7.2 is done along the GleitverBankruct.
  • a sliding closure 7 has the advantage that here - in contrast to a pressure lock 6 - to close the two GleitverBankangn must not be made to cover manually.
  • Such a sliding closure 7 is thus comparable in its functionality with a zipper.
  • Fig. 6F shows a further variant of a closure system 5, which can be used in a package 1 according to the invention.
  • a resealable adhesive tape 10 is arranged as an adhesive strip on the outside of each chamber 2, for example by gluing stationary.
  • the closure flap 11 is designed so that it projects over the adhesive strip of the resealable adhesive tape 10 in the folded-over state. By pressing the folded flap 11 in the region of the adhesive tape 10, therefore, the chamber 2 can be closed. By pulling off the closure tab 11, the chamber 2 can be opened again. This process is repeatable several times.
  • Fig. 6G illustrates a closure system 5 with a hook and loop fastener 8, wherein in a known manner, a first Velcro strip 8.1 is glued with closure hook, for example, on a portion of the closure flap 11.
  • a second Velcro strip 8.2 with loops is glued to the outside of the chamber 2 and positioned so that in the folded-over position of the closure flap 11, the two Velcro strips 8.1 and 8.2 are engageable.
  • the hook and loop fastener 8 is also executed several times resealable.
  • Fig. 6H shows a further embodiment of a closure system 5 with a snap fastener 9.
  • the two closure parts 9.1 and 9.2 of the snap fastener 9, of which a closure part 9.1 is provided with a recess, the other closure part 9.2 with a matching, complementary head, are here made of plastic and are attached by pressing on the film material 4.
  • a snap fastener which is made of a different material, for example of metal.
