Definitions
- diapers and training pants are packaged in smaller quantities for retail sale in bags or sealed packages formed of polymeric films, or, in larger quantities, boxes formed of cardboard. Since diapers and training pants may be used by a consumer at the rate of up to 6 or more per day per child, many consumers prefer to purchase such articles in larger quantities, and therefore, purchase box packages.
- the outer surfaces of such larger-quantity retail box packages may be somewhat smooth and slippery, as a result of the manufacturer's desire to provide an attractive print design and finish.
- the packages may also be found by consumers to be relatively large and bulky for purposes of carrying.
- a example of a box package containing 124 size 3 disposable diapers may have outside dimensions of approximately 28 cm high (bottom to top) x 25 cm deep (front to back) x 41 cm wide (side to side) (11 in. x 9.8 in. x 16.1 in.).
- manufacturers of such box packages may provide them with a handle configuration.
- handle cutouts are provided at the sides, near the top, to enable insertion of the fingers of the hands through the side panels at each side, hooking of the fingers about the upper edges of the cutouts, and two-handed carry.
- Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a box package configuration
- Fig. 2 is a plan view of a cardboard cutout of a box package precursor cutout from cardboard stock
- Figs. 3 A and 3B are plan views of handle cutout alternatives shown in relation to other box package features
- Figs. 3C-3E are plan views of several handle cutout alternatives
- Fig. 4 is a partial cross section of a box package configuration, through a handle cutout having a residual cutout flap;
- Fig. 5 is a view of a fixture used in the Push- In Force Test described herein.
- Fig. 1 is a perspective view of an assembled box package configuration 10; and Fig. 2 is a plan view of a cardboard cutout of a box package precursor cutout from cardboard stock, which may be folded along the dotted lines shown and glued in suitable locations to form a closed box package configuration such as shown in Fig. 1.
- the configuration has a first pair of opposing vertical panels 20a, 20b and a second pair of opposing vertical panels 21a, 21b. When the package configuration is assembled, vertical panels 21a and 21b have surfaces that
- Vertical panels 20a, 20b, 21a and 21b form four vertical containing walls, or sides, of the package configuration.
- the configuration also has a pair of opposing horizontal panels 22a, 22b, forming the top and bottom containing walls of the package configuration.
- the box described herein is contemplated for use as a box container of packages of disposable absorbent articles such as disposable diapers and training pants.
- disposable diapers and training pants of the kind marketed by The Procter & Gamble Company, Cincinnati, Ohio, under the PAMPERS and LUVS brands.
- Two or more packages of such articles in folded stacks wrapped by, or within, a polymer film bag or wrapper, may be contained within the box described herein. Due to the nature of the materials of which such articles are made and the manner in which they are manufactured and packaged, such packages are typically compressible to varying degrees. The degree of compressibility may be adjusted by adjusting the degree to which the articles are compressed when packaged within their film packages.
- Respective panels 20-22 may be formed of single layers or several layers of cardboard material, and each layer may be formed of a single section or multiple sections of cardboard material.
- horizontal panel 22b is formed of four sections which include exterior flaps 22c, 22d, each of which form approximately half of an outer layer of horizontal panel 22b.
- Each of exterior flaps 22c, 22d may have a handle cutout 30 therein.
- handle cutouts 30 may be disposed substantially opposite each other across the respective adjacent flap edges 23a, 23b. It will be appreciated that a consumer may lift and carry the package by inserting fingers of one hand through one of the handle cutouts 30 and curling the fingers under so as to attain a grasp of the package at the top panel, possibly supplementing her grasp by inserting the thumb through the other handle cutout and curling it under, toward the fingers.
- the package configuration 10 be stackable (i.e. , the package will support the weight of a number of additional packages stacked on top of it, without crushing or collapsing) for purposes of efficiency in shipment and storage, and purposes of maintaining an attractive appearance for presentation on store shelves.
- the package contemplated herein will contain relatively compressible packaged materials, e.g. , disposable absorbent articles, substantially filling the space within the box structure between the respective opposing vertical panels and from bottom to top.
- the box be formed of a cardboard having suitable rigidity and strength to provide stackability.
- the package configuration be formed of a corrugated cardboard comprising two outer layers of flat linerboard sandwiching an inner corrugated (fluted) layer, having flutes of size C or larger.
- the flutes be oriented in direction FO (flute orientation), i.e. , vertically relative the sides of the assembled package sitting in its normally upright position on a horizontal surface. (This means that the flutes form channels within the cardboard that extend along direction FO, i.e. , vertically relative the sides of the assembled package sitting in its normally upright position on a horizontal surface.)
- the compressible contents do not provide rigid structural support, they may be packed into the box with sufficient compression so as to exert some outward pressure on the respective panels, thereby providing supplemental support to the cardboard outer structure. Accordingly, it may be desirable to have the contained contents substantially fill the box such that they exert some outward pressure on the panels, particularly the top panel (horizontal panel 22b), and thereby provide supplemental structural support. Accordingly, referring to Fig. 1, it may be desired that the contained articles leave a top clearance TC between the inside of panel 22b and the top of the contained articles, of no more than 1 cm and more preferably zero, measured from the plane defined by the inside top corners of the box to the top of the contained articles at their highest point, with the package resting in its normally upright position on a horizontal surface.
- the distance D between inside edge 30i and flap edge 23a or 23b be no less than 25mm, more preferably, no less than 27 mm.
- the "inside edge" of a handle cutout is the edge closest to a flap edge.
- the box be designed and sized such that flaps 22c and 22d overlap when in assembled and closed configuration, thus providing at least two layers of material between the handle cutouts, increasing strength and resistance to tearing.
- This configuration requires usage of relatively more cardboard material, and also may create an uneven top surface if the overlap is only partial, i.e. , does not extend across the entire top panel.
- the package may be designed such that the flaps 22c and 22d do not overlap when the box is in assembled and closed configuration.
- the package may be provided with a strip of handle reinforcing material 24.
- Handle reinforcing material 24 may be disposed between the handle cutouts 30 and may extend across the entire top horizontal panel 22b, and may be attached to the vertical panels 20a, 20b, thereby providing a strap-like structure to distribute stresses resulting from lifting the package at the handle cutouts, to the sides of the package.
- Handle reinforcing material 24 may be formed of a supplemental strip of cardboard, paper, polymeric film or other material adhered and/or otherwise attached to the flaps 22c, 22d and/or the vertical panels 20a, 20b.
- handle reinforcing material 24 may be a strip of adhesive tape of suitable tensile strength applied along a substantially straight line across the top of the package between the handle cutouts and down over respective vertical panels 20a, 20b.
- the handle reinforcing material if disposed over the surface of horizontal panel 22b, may be substantially translucent or transparent so that it does not obscure graphics, indicia, designs or other artwork or commercial information that may be printed on the top panel; for example, if the handle reinforcing material is tape, it may be a substantially translucent or transparent tape.
- edge 24e of handle reinforcing material 24 be substantially tangent to inside edge 30i of each handle cutout, or at most, a distance HD of 8 mm from 30i.
- the handle reinforcing material 24 should be wide enough and/or the handle cutouts 30 should be suitably located, to provide for such maximum distance HD for both handle cutouts.
- handle cutouts of the type described herein it is believed that most consumers will prefer handle cutouts of the type described herein to be no more than 65 mm apart for ease of use and one-handed carry, and more preferably, no more than 60 mm or even no more than 55 mm apart.
- handle reinforcing material should be no more than 55 mm wide in an area of horizontal panel 22b between the handle cutouts.
- handle reinforcing material 24 is a strip having a tensile strength measured in the direction of its length of at least 20 pounds, more preferably at least 25 pounds, and even more preferably, at least 30 pounds, per inch width, and the strip should most preferably wide enough to extend width-wise at least 80 percent of the distance between the handle cutouts.
- handle reinforcing material 24 is tape or other material adhered or attached to the surface of horizontal panel 22b and/or surfaces of vertical panels 20a, 20b
- the material may not be lifted or pulled away from the surface by use of only mechanical lifting and/or peeling force, without the package material failing, i.e. , the material of which the package is formed will partially or entirely fail, tear or delaminate before the attachment between the handle reinforcing material 24 and the package surface is completely broken by mechanical lifting and/or peeling force.
- handle reinforcing material 24 is tape
- the handle cutouts may be designed such that they have profiles having no sharp inside corners pointing toward the flap edges, or sharp bends at or proximate their inside edges, at which stress from lifting the package would tend to concentrate.
- Fig. 3C depicts one alternative, an oval- or elliptical-shaped cutout 30. It can be seen that such a cutout 30 has a profile with only gradually rounded inside bends proximate its inside edge 30i.
- the cutout 30 may also be circular, bean-shaped or peanut-shaped, again, with no sharp inside corners pointing toward the flap edges, or sharp bends at or proximate their inside edges.
- a "sharp inside corner pointing toward a flap edge" is a portion of a cut path forming a macroscopically sharp angle, whereby a line bisecting the angle and extending along a direction from within the area circumscribed by the cutout, toward and intersecting the cut path at the angle vertex, and then extending away from the cutout, intersects the flap edges.
- Fig. 3D depicts another alternative, a cutout defined by a pair of spaced-apart semicircle sections 30a, 30b of radius r, joined by a pair of straight sections 30c ("race track" shaped cutout).
- handle cutout 30 presents only rounded inside bends proximate its inside edge 30i, or a straight portion.
- handle cutout 30 may be defined by a rounded rectangle shape, i.e. , a rectangle having its corners rounded.
- Other suitable shapes for the handle cutouts may include but not be limited to circular, bean-shaped, peanut-shaped, oval, ovaloid, egg-shaped, elliptical, rounded rectangle and race-track shapes.
- handle cutout 30 may have a profile defined by a semicircle or lesser section of a circle characterized by a straight line segment along one edge and an arc of a circle along the opposing edge; the areas where the two geometric components meet may also be rounded.
- handle cutout 30 may have a profile defined by a semicircle or lesser section of a circle characterized by a straight line segment along one edge and an arc of a circle along the opposing edge; the areas where the two geometric components meet may also be rounded.
- straight portions of the adjacent cutouts 30 face each other, i.e. , are closest the flap edges.
- These latter two cutout profiles may not be quite as effective as an oval- or elliptical profile since stresses may be more apt to concentrate at the transitions between the curved sections and the straight sections.
- the greater stress concentration may be borne and distributed by an adjacent handle reinforcing material as discussed above.
- the profile of a handle cutout 30 may be defined by a semicircle or lesser section of a circle characterized by a straight line segment along one edge and an arc of a circle along the opposing edge; and the semicircle or lesser section of a circle may be disposed closest the flap edge and the straight line segment may be disposed furthest away from the flap edge.
- a top handle cutout 30 be of sufficient size to allow most consumers to conveniently and comfortably insert at least three and more preferably four fingers into the opening and curl them under, but not so large as to have adverse effects on the structural rigidity of the package configuration, or unacceptably increase the chances that contaminating dust, dirt or debris will enter the package through an overly large hole, during shipping and handling.
- W for example, as illustrated in Fig. 3E
- the most acceptable width W is in the range of 15 mm to 35 mm, more preferably 20 mm to 30 mm, and still more preferably 23 mm to 28 mm.
- the most acceptable length L (see Fig. 3D) of the handle cutout 30 is 80 mm to 100 mm, and more preferably 85 mm to 95 mm.
- handle cutouts 30 may be completely removed during manufacture, such that the cutouts circumscribe holes through horizontal panel 22b. This may provide for a package having a neater appearance. Such holes, however, particularly if made through the top of the package, may allow contaminating dust, dirt or debris to enter the package during shipping and handling, and therefore, may be undesirable. Additionally, material completely removed from within handle cutouts can present complications during large-scale production
- cutout 30 may take the form of a partial cut rather than a complete cutout.
- the partial cut may be a series of perforations along a cut path with terminal ends Ec, or alternatively, may be a continuous cut that follows a path that partially but not completely circumscribes a cutout or hole through the panel, with terminal ends Ec-
- a cut may follow a path that partially circumscribes a race track cutout.
- material within the cutout is left attached along fold line 31, and this material may stay attached and substantially in its original position relative the surrounding material during shipping, thereby avoiding the need to handle removed cutout material during manufacturing, and avoiding formation of a hole in the box that may allow contaminants to enter.
- the cut portion allows separation of material forming residual cutout flap 3
- the uncut portion of the otherwise circumscribed cutout profile may form a handle fold line 31, about which material forming residual cutout flaps 30f within the cutout may fold. It may be desired that the fold line is substantially parallel to the flap edge, and/or the fold lines of the respective cutouts are substantially parallel each other.
- a consumer may push downwardly on material forming a residual cutout flap 30f, causing cutout flap 3 Of to disengage the material of panel 22b surrounding the cutout and rotate downwardly and inwardly (into the package and toward flap edge 23a or 23b) about handle fold line 31, thereby forming an opening through which fingers may be inserted and curled under to grasp the package.
- the cut it may be desired that the cut extend around in the area proximate the flap edge 23 a such that both terminal ends Ec of the cut point more toward each other, rather than more toward the flap edge.
- a line tangent to the curve or profile defined by the cut, at each terminal end Ec forms a smaller angle with a line defined by the flap edge, which is less than 45 degrees, more preferably less than 30 degrees, and still more preferably less than 15 degrees.
- that angle is approximately zero, i.e. , such a tangent line LTC is approximately parallel with a line defined by the flap edge 23a.
- This feature may be desired to reduce the chances of a tear propagating toward the flap edge as a result of concentration stress at the cut terminal end E c , resulting from carrying the package by grasping at the cutout(s).
- this partial cut configuration may make it more difficult for a consumer to identify and/or locate a handle cutout, and push it inwardly to create a handle configuration when, as discussed above, the package has a minimum or zero top clearance TC within, as discussed above.
- the contents of the package are close to, touching, and/or, in some examples, pressing upwardly against the top horizontal panel 22b, they can obstruct an attempt to push in a residual cutout flap 30f and fold it under.
- An inner package of articles 40 may be packaged within package configuration 10 such as a box having bottom horizontal panel 22b, vertical panel 21b, and top horizontal panel 22b.
- the package configuration 10 may be designed, through a combination of outer container sizing and compression and sizing of inner package of articles 40, such that there is zero top clearance TC; and inner package of articles 40 may even exert upward pressure on top horizontal panel 22b, for added structural support to the package configuration as discussed above. It can be appreciated that inner package of articles 40 would thus obstruct an attempt to push cutout flap 30f downward into the package, separating it from cutout 30 edges and folding it about handle fold line 31, toward flap edge 23a.
- the package may be marked on its top surface by printing or other mechanism to include a handle indicium about or proximate the handle cutout 30, to provide a visual signal to the consumer of a location of a handle cutout that may be pushed in to create a handle.
- the partial cut not be in perforations or segments, but rather, a continuous cut between terminal ends Ec- This maximizes the ease with which the consumer may separate residual cutout flap 30f from surrounding material by pushing it. It may further be desired that the pressure inside the package configuration, between the top horizontal panel 22b, and the contained articles, be controlled via design, manufacture and/or filling of the package with its contents, so as not to be so great as to unacceptably frustrate the consumer from pushing the material forming residual cutout flap 30f inwardly and folding it around to create a handle configuration.
- the package may be appropriately sized relative the articles it will contain, and/or, the size(s) and/or degree of compression of the stacks or bundles within inner packages of articles 40 that will be packaged will be appropriately determined and effected, such that a consumer may push residual cutout flap 30f inwardly and fold it around and under about handle fold line 31without undue difficulty.
- the design may be such to allow the inner package of articles 40 to compress and deflect along a deflection profile 32 so as to permit effective creation of a handle opening.
- the maximum Push- In Force consumers will find acceptable for such a handle configuration is 18 pounds as measured herein.
- the package configuration be designed such that the residual cutout flap 30f may be pushed inwardly by exerting a Push-In Force of no more than 18 pounds, more preferably, no more than 15 pounds, and even more preferably, 13 pounds, as measured by the Push-In Force Test set forth below.
- the Flap Push-In Force necessary to push in a handle residual cutout flap on a box package sample is measured on a twin screw, constant rate of extension tensile tester with computer interface (for many boxes a suitable instrument is the MTS Alliance using Testworks 4.0 Software, as available from MTS Systems Corp., Eden Prairie, MN) using a load cell for which the forces measured are within 10% to 90% of the limit of the cell.
- the lower fixture to be mounted on the tensile tester is a square platform (not shown) 38 cm by 38 cm by 1 cm thick and made of aluminum. The platform is mounted on the tester via a mounting shaft of appropriate dimensions and configuration suitable to mount the platform to the stationary base of the tensile tester.
- the upper fixture 500 When mounted the platform fits between the screws of the tester, centered on the stationary base of the tester, and is situated with a square surface in a horizontal plane perpendicular to the direction of movement of the crosshead of the tensile tester.
- the upper fixture 500 as shown in Figure 5, consists of a shaft 501 (50 mm long by 5 mm in diameter) and presser bar 502 (1.27 mm in diameter and 5.7 cm in length). The ends of the presser bar 502 are rounded at a radius of 0.635 mm.
- a cylindrical housing 503, attaches the presser bar to the movable crosshead of the tensile tester. The housing is 1.9 cm in diameter and 8.8 cm long.
- the housing has a hole 504 (5 mm in diameter and 25.4 mm deep) drilled axially into the housing, into which the shaft 501 is inserted. Silicone stopcock grease is applied to the shaft so that it does not fall out of the hole 504 but can rotate around the shaft's axis.
- the upper end 505 of housing is of appropriate dimensions and configuration to mount to the crosshead of the tensile tester. When mounted, the longitudinal axis of the housing is parallel to the direction of movement of the crosshead and perpendicular to the square surface of the platform.
- gage length i.e., the distance between the bottom of the presser bar 502 and the top of the carton
- the tensile tester is programmed to move the crosshead down at 127.0 mm/min. until it moves 50.8 mm. Zero the load cell and cross head position. Start the tensile tester program and collect data for force (lbs) as a function of vertical crosshead displacement (mm).
