Abstract

L'invention concerne un emballage semi-rigide en carton mince, formé à partir d'une coupe, qui présente ou, selon le cas, forme une paroi avant (14), une paroi arrière (15), des parois latérales (16, 17) adjacentes et une bande de bord (28) s'étendant sur toute la longueur, d'un côté, qui présente des languettes de pliage pour une paroi (20) (de fond). Des estampes sous forme de lignes d'estampage exemptes de déchet sont formées au niveau de la bande de bord (28), à savoir des lignes d'estampage orientées transversalement pour les languettes de pliage et des estampages de compensation en forme d'arc. De cette manière, l'emballage peut être fabriqué sans déchets ni résidus à partir d'une coupe qui a été séparée d'une bande de matériau (34).
