Abstract

The blank (10) has folded edges (50, 52, 54, 56, 58, 60, 70, 72, 74, 76, 78) designed as folded surfaces and comprising openings (94), where the openings are designed as geometrical molds that are arranged at a distance from each other. The openings are formed in oval, circular, semicircular or star-shape by stamping or by laser energy. Wall and base elements (12, 16, 20, 22) are connected by the folded edges for forming a container-like retaining area in a folded condition of the blank. The folded edges connect side walls (26, 28, 30, 32) with front and rear walls. An independent claim is also included for a folded box for storing goods.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Zuschnitt zur Herstellung einer dreidimensionalen Struktur aus Papier, Karton oder Kunststoff, insbesondere einer Verpackung, eines Displays oder dergleichen, umfassend mehrere Faltkanten. Die Erfindung betrifft weiterhin eine Faltschachtel zur Aufbewahrung von Waren, insbesondere Faltschachtel aus Karton, Papier oder dergleichen, umfassend mindestens eine Vorderwand, mindestens eine Rückwand und mindestens jeweils eine erste und zweite Seitenwand zur Verbindung der Vorder-und Rückwand, eine Bodenkonstruktion zum bodenseitigen Verschluss der Faltschachtel, und mehrere Faltkanten.The present invention relates to a blank for producing a three-dimensional structure of paper, cardboard or plastic, in particular a packaging, a display or the like, comprising a plurality of folding edges. The invention further relates to a folding box for storing goods, in particular folding box made of cardboard, paper or the like, comprising at least one front wall, at least one rear wall and at least one first and second side wall for connecting the front and rear wall, a bottom construction to the bottom-side closure Folding box, and several folding edges.

Derartige Zuschnitte, dreidimensionale Strukturen und Faltschachteln sind in einer großen Vielzahl bekannt. Unter anderem handelt es sich bei diesen Zuschnitten oder dreidimensionalen Strukturen beziehungsweise Faltschachteln um Klappschachteln, die eine weit verbreitete Verpackungsform für Zigaretten und dergleichen darstellen. So beschreiben die DE 43 11 568 A1 , die EP 2 141 090 A1 , die DE 101 06 547 A1 , die US 6 276 600 B1 und die DE 600 28 078 T2 Verpackungen in Form eines prismatischen Körpers entlang ihrer Längsachse, wobei an einem behälterartigen Aufnahmebereich ein Deckel angelenkt ist. Nachteilig an diesen bekannten Verpackungen - wie auch an Verpackungen für andere Waren - ist jedoch, dass diese einerseits keinen Einblick auf den Verpackungsinhalt erlauben oder anderseits in der Verpackung angeordnetes Verpackungsmaterial nicht in das Design der Verpackung insgesamt aufgenommen werden können. Aufgrund der geschlossenen Faltschachtelstruktur sind auch weitere verkaufsfördernde Designgestaltungen der dreidimensionalen Struktur beziehungsweise der Faltschachtel ausgeschlossen. Gleiches gilt für einen in der DE 2 166 517 A beschrieben Zuschnitt für eine Faltschachtel. In gefaltetem Zustand des Zuschnitts ist ein zusätzliche Fläche über Dehnungsöffnungen mit einer Seitenwand der entstandenen Faltschachtel verbunden. Die Dehnungsöffnungen liegen auf einem entsprechenden Wandbereich der Faltschachtel auf, so dass sich keine durchgehenden Öffnungen ergeben und somit kein Einblick auf den Schachtelinhalt möglich ist. Zudem ergeben sich durch die Dehnungsöffnungen keine weiteren Designmöglichkeiten, die zu einer vorteilhaften Präsentation der Faltschachtel beitragen können.Such blanks, three-dimensional structures and cartons are known in a wide variety. Among other things, these blanks or three-dimensional structures or folding boxes are folding boxes, which are a widely used form of packaging for cigarettes and the like. So describe the DE 43 11 568 A1 , the EP 2 141 090 A1 , the DE 101 06 547 A1 , the US Pat. No. 6,276,600 B1 and the DE 600 28 078 T2 Packaging in the form of a prismatic body along its longitudinal axis, wherein a lid is hinged to a container-like receiving area. A disadvantage of these known packaging - as well as on packaging for other goods - is that these on the one hand do not allow insight into the contents of the package or on the other hand packaging material arranged in the packaging is not included in the overall design of the packaging can be. Due to the closed carton structure, further sales-promoting design designs of the three-dimensional structure or folding carton are excluded. The same applies to one in the DE 2 166 517 A described blank for a carton. In the folded state of the blank, an additional surface is connected via expansion openings to a side wall of the resulting folding box. The expansion openings lie on a corresponding wall portion of the carton, so that there are no through openings and thus no insight on the box contents is possible. In addition, there are no further design possibilities due to the expansion openings, which can contribute to an advantageous presentation of the folding box.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, einen gattungsgemäßen Zuschnitt zur Herstellung einer dreidimensionalen Struktur aus Papier, Karton oder Kunststoff, eine entsprechende dreidimensionale Struktur und eine entsprechende Faltschachtel aus Papier, Karton oder Kunststoff bereitzustellen, durch die sich verbesserte Formgebungen und Designs der Struktur beziehungsweise der Faltschachtel einerseits und gegebenenfalls eine Produktansicht realisieren lassen.It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a generic blank for producing a three-dimensional structure of paper, cardboard or plastic, a corresponding three-dimensional structure and a corresponding carton made of paper, cardboard or plastic, through which improved shapes and designs of the structure or the On the one hand and, if necessary, a product view can be realized.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgaben dienen Zuschnitt mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1, eine dreidimensionale Struktur mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 7 sowie eine Faltschachtel mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 8. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen mit zweckmäßigen Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben, wobei vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen des Zuschnitts als vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der erfindungsgemäßen dreidimensionalen Struktur beziehungsweise der erfindungsgemäßen Faltschachtel und umgekehrt anzusehen sind.To solve these problems are blank with the features of claim 1, a three-dimensional structure with the features of claim 7 and a carton with the features of claim 8. Advantageous embodiments with expedient developments of the invention are set forth in the dependent claims, wherein advantageous embodiments of the blank are to be regarded as advantageous embodiments of the inventive three-dimensional structure or the carton according to the invention and vice versa.

Ein erfindungsgemäßer Zuschnitt zur Herstellung einer dreidimensionalen Struktur aus Papier, Karton oder Kunststoff, insbesondere einer Verpackung, eines Displays oder dergleichen umfasst mehrere Faltkanten, wobei zumindest eine Faltkante als Faltfläche bestehend aus einer Anordnung einer Vielzahl von durch den Zuschnitt hindurchgehenden und darin ausgebildeten Öffnungen ausgebildet ist und die Öffnungen als voneinander beabstandete geometrische Formen ausgebildet sind. Unter Öffnungen werden dabei geometrische Formen verstanden, die bereits im Zuschnitt als geometrische Formen ausgebildet sind. Durch die Ausgestaltung von mindestens einer Faltkante als Faltfläche bestehend aus entsprechend angeordneten Öffnungen lässt sich eine Produktansicht innerhalb der dreidimensionalen Struktur oder der Faltschachtel, die beide aus dem genannten Zuschnitt hergestellt werden können, realisieren. Unter Faltfläche wird die durch die Geometrie und Dimension der Öffnungen entstehende flächige Ausgestaltung der jeweiligen Faltkante verstanden. Des Weiteren ergibt sich durch die spezielle Ausgestaltung der Faltkante als Faltfläche mit einer Vielzahl von Öffnungen die Möglichkeit, dass ein innerhalb der dreidimensionalen Struktur beziehungsweise Faltschachtel angeordnetes Material, insbesondere Verpackungsmaterial in das Design der Struktur beziehungsweise Faltschachtel mit einbezogen werden kann. Zudem ergeben sich weitere vorteilhafte und verkaufsfördernde Designmöglichkeiten. So können beispielhaft im Bereich der als Faltfläche ausgebildeten Faltkante zumindest teilweise mindestens ein Muster, eine Grafik, eine Abbildung und/oder eine Struktur aufweisendes Element, ein Farbstreifen oder -band, eine transparente und/oder nicht-transparente Folie, ein fluoreszierend und/oder reflektierend ausgebildeter Streifen, ein Leuchtstreifen oder -band oder eine Kombination dieser Elemente derart angeordnet sein, dass wenigstens ein Teil der Öffnungen überdeckt ist und der mindestens eine grafische Effekt und/oder Farbeffekt und/oder reflektierende Effekt und/oder Leuchteffekt dieser Elemente durch die damit überdeckten Öffnungen hindurch erkennbar ist. Dadurch ergeben sich deutlich verkaufsfördernde Möglichkeiten der Designgestaltung, die mit üblichen Zuschnitten, dreidimensionalen Strukturen oder Faltschachteln nicht möglich sind. Zum Beispiel kann die erfindungsgemäße Faltschachtel zur Aufbewahrung von Rauchwaren, insbesondere Zigaretten dienen. Üblicherweise sind Zigaretten innerhalb der entsprechenden Faltschachtel durch eine weitere Verpackungshülle umgeben. Die Gestaltung, Oberfläche und/oder Farbe dieser Verpackungshülle kann bei der Erfindung durch den Verbraucher eingesehen werden und bestimmt somit das optische Bild der entsprechenden dreidimensionalen Struktur beziehungsweise Faltschachtel mit.An inventive blank for producing a three-dimensional structure of paper, cardboard or plastic, in particular a package, a display or the like comprises a plurality of folding edges, wherein at least one folding edge as a folding surface consisting of an arrangement of a plurality of through the blank formed through and formed therein openings and the openings are formed as spaced-apart geometric shapes. Under openings are understood geometric shapes that are already formed in the blank as geometric shapes. By configuring at least one folding edge as a folding surface consisting of correspondingly arranged openings, it is possible to realize a product view within the three-dimensional structure or the folding box, both of which can be produced from the aforementioned blank. The folding surface is understood to be the flat configuration of the respective folding edge that results from the geometry and dimension of the openings. Furthermore, due to the special design of the folding edge as a folding surface with a multiplicity of openings, it is possible for a material, in particular packaging material, arranged within the three-dimensional structure or folding box to be included in the design of the structure or folding box. In addition, there are more advantageous and promotional design possibilities. For example, at least partially at least one pattern, a graphic, an image and / or a structure having element, a color strip or band, a transparent and / or non-transparent film, a fluorescent and / or in the region of the folded edge formed as a folding surface reflective strip, a luminescent strip or ribbon or a combination of these elements may be arranged such that at least a portion of the openings is covered and the at least one graphic effect and / or color effect and / or reflective effect and / or luminous effect of these elements covered openings can be seen through. This results in significantly sales-promoting design options that are not possible with conventional blanks, three-dimensional structures or cartons. For example, the carton according to the invention can serve for the storage of tobacco products, in particular cigarettes. Usually, cigarettes are surrounded within the corresponding carton by another packaging wrapper. The design, surface and / or color of this packaging wrapper can be viewed in the invention by the consumer and thus determines the optical image of the corresponding three-dimensional structure or folding box.

In vorteilhaften Ausgestaltungen des erfindungsgemäßen Zuschnitts ist die Faltfläche zumindest teilweise streifenförmig, gerade und/oder gekrümmt ausgebildet. Zudem ist es möglich, dass die Faltfläche durch eine Reihe von hintereinander angeordneten Öffnungen und/oder aus mindestens zwei parallel zueinander verlaufenden Reihen von Öffnungen und/oder einer Anzahl von ungeordnet zueinander ausgebildeten Öffnungen definiert wird. Des Weiteren besteht die Möglichkeit, dass die Faltfläche aus Öffnungen unterschiedlicher Größe und/oder Geometrie besteht. Dabei können die die Faltfläche ausbildenden Öffnungen zum Beispiel als Kreise, Halbkreise, Ovale, Sicheln, Sterne, Buchstaben, Zahlen, Symbole und/oder Vielecke ausgebildet sein. Auch andere Formen sind denkbar. Zudem können unterschiedlichste Formen innerhalb einer Faltfläche verwendet werden. Durch diese Vielzahl an Ausgestaltungsmöglichkeiten der Faltfläche ergeben sich wiederum eine Vielzahl von Gestaltungs- und Designmöglichkeiten bei der Ausgestaltung der aus dem erfindungsgemäßen Zuschnitt hergestellten dreidimensionalen Strukturen beziehungsweise Faltschachteln. Die Faltfläche ist dabei immer derart ausgestaltet, dass sie eine übliche Faltkante in deren Funktion gleich wirkend ersetzt. Zudem kann die Faltfläche derart dimensioniert sein, dass in gefaltetem Zustand des Zuschnitts, das heißt bei der dreidimensionalen Struktur beziehungsweise Faltschachtel ein abgerundeter Faltbereich ausgebildet ist. Bei einer entsprechenden Ausgestaltung der Faltkanten zwischen den Seitenflächen einer dreidimensionalen Struktur oder Faltschachtel ergibt sich somit vorteilhafterweise eine Struktur beziehungsweise Faltschachtel mit abgerundeten Ecken, wobei dieses Designmerkmal wiederum als verkaufsfördernde Neuerung im Verpackungsbereich verwendet werden kann.

Dabei ist zumindest eine Faltkante als Faltfläche bestehend aus einer Anordnung einer Vielzahl von durchgehenden Öffnungen ausgebildet, wobei die Öffnungen als voneinander beabstandete geometrische Formen ausgebildet sind. Unter Faltfläche wird die durch die Geometrie und Dimension der Öffnungen entstehende flächige Ausgestaltung der jeweiligen Faltkante verstanden. Durch die Ausgestaltung von mindestens einer Faltkante als Faltfläche bestehend aus entsprechend angeordneten Öffnungen lässt sich eine Produktansicht von Außen realisieren. Des Weiteren ergibt sich durch die spezielle Ausgestaltung der Faltkante als Faltfläche mit einer Vielzahl von Öffnungen die Möglichkeit, dass ein innerhalb der Faltschachtel angeordnetes Material, insbesondere Verpackungsmaterial in das Design der Faltschachtel mit einbezogen werden kann. So können beispielsweise an der Innenseite der Faltschachtel zumindest im Bereich der als Faltfläche ausgebildeten Faltkante bestehend aus der Anordnung einer Vielzahl von durchgehenden Öffnungen zumindest teilweise mindestens ein Muster, eine Grafik, eine Abbildung und/oder eine Struktur aufweisendes Element, ein Farbstreifen oder -band, eine transparente und/oder nicht-transparente Folie, ein fluoreszierend und/oder reflektierend ausgebildeter Streifen, ein Leuchtstreifen oder -band oder eine Kombination dieser Elemente derart angeordnet sein, dass wenigstens ein Teil der Öffnungen überdeckt ist und der mindestens eine grafische Effekt und/oder Farbeffekt und/oder reflektierende Effekt und/oder Leuchteffekt dieser Elemente durch die damit überdeckten Öffnungen hindurch nach Außen erkennbar ist. Dabei kann der Leuchtstreifen oder das Leuchtband mit mindestens einer LED bestückt sein.

Insgesamt ergeben sich eine Vielzahl von Designgestaltungsmöglichkeiten für die dreidimensionale Struktur oder Faltschachtel, die verkaufsfördernde Wirkungen erzielen, welche mit üblichen Faltschachteln nicht möglich sind. Zum Beispiel kann die erfindungsgemäße Faltschachtel zur Aufbewahrung von Rauchwaren, insbesondere Zigaretten dienen. Üblicherweise sind Zigaretten innerhalb der entsprechenden Faltschachtel durch eine weitere Verpackungshülle umgeben. Die Gestaltung, Oberfläche und/oder Farbe dieser Verpackungshülle kann bei der Erfindung beispielhaft durch den Verbraucher eingesehen werden und bestimmt somit das optische Bild der entsprechenden Faltschachtel mit.The present invention further relates to a carton for storing goods, in particular a carton, paper or the like, comprising at least one front wall, at least one rear wall and at least one first and second side wall for connecting the front and rear wall, a bottom construction to the bottom Closure of the carton, and several fold edges. In this case, at least one folding edge is formed as a folding surface consisting of an arrangement of a plurality of through openings, wherein the openings are formed as spaced-apart geometric shapes. The folding surface is understood to be the flat configuration of the respective folding edge that results from the geometry and dimension of the openings. Due to the design of at least one folding edge as a folding surface consisting of correspondingly arranged openings, a product view from the outside can be realized. Furthermore, due to the special design of the folding edge as a folding surface with a multiplicity of openings, the possibility arises that a material arranged inside the folding box, in particular packaging material, can be included in the design of the folding box. For example, at least in the region of the folded edge formed as a folding surface, at least partially at least one pattern, a graphic, an image and / or a structure having a color strip or band, at least partially on the inside of the folding box consisting of the arrangement of a plurality of through openings a transparent and / or non-transparent film, a fluorescently and / or reflectively formed strip, a luminous strip or ribbon or a combination of these elements may be arranged such that at least a part of the openings is covered and the at least one graphic effect and / or Color effect and / or reflective effect and / or luminous effect of these elements can be seen through the thus covered openings to the outside. In this case, the light strip or the light strip can be equipped with at least one LED. Furthermore, there is the possibility that the element having a structure is designed such that the raised areas of the structure at least partially protrude through the openings. Finally, the pattern, the graphic, the image and / or structure element, the color strip or ribbon, the transparent and / or non-transparent film, the fluorescent and / or reflective formed strip, the light strip or the light strip or a combination of these elements may be formed as in the carton separately introduced inliner. Overall, there are a variety of design options for the three-dimensional structure or carton, the sales-promotional effects that are not possible with conventional cartons. For example, the carton according to the invention can serve for the storage of tobacco products, in particular cigarettes. Usually, cigarettes are surrounded within the corresponding carton by another packaging wrapper. The design, surface and / or color of this packaging wrapper can be viewed in the invention by way of example by the consumer and thus determines the optical image of the corresponding carton.

Die Figur 1 zeigt eine schematische Darstellung eines Zuschnitts 10 zur Herstellung einer dreidimensionalen Struktur aus Karton. Bei der dreidimensionalen Struktur handelt es sich dabei um eine Verpackung, insbesondere um eine Faltschachtel. Der Zuschnitt umfasst dabei über Faltkanten 50, 52, 54, 56, 70, 72 verbundene Wand- und Bodenelemente 12, 14, 16, 26, 28, 30, 32 zur Ausbildung von mindestens einem behälterartigen Aufnahmebereich in gefaltetem Zustand des Zuschnitts 10 (nicht dargestellt). Des Weiteren erkennt man, dass die Rückwand 16 über eine Biegelinie 74 mit einer ersten Deckelwand 22, die erste Deckelwand 22 über eine Biegelinie 76 mit einer zweiten Deckelwand 18 und die zweite Deckelwand 18 über eine dritte Biegelinie 78 mit einer dritten Deckelwand 20 zur Ausbildung einer Verschlusskappe 92 in gefaltetem Zustand des Zuschnitts 10 (nicht dargestellt) verbunden sind. Die erste Deckelwand 22 ist zudem über die Faltkanten 54, 56 mit Deckelseitenwänden 34, 36 verbunden. Die dritte Deckelwand 20 ist über Faltkanten 58, 60 mit weiteren Deckelseitenwänden 38, 40 verbunden. Zudem sind an den Deckelseitenwänden 34, 36 über Biegelinien 86, 88 Klebelaschen 46, 48 ausgebildet, die in gefaltetem Zustand des Zuschnitts 10 an einer Innenseite der zweiten Deckelwand 18 anliegen und damit verklebt sind. An der der zweiten Deckelwand 18 gegenüberliegenden Seite weist die dritte Deckelwand 20 zudem eine Biegelinie 80 auf, über die diese mit einer weiteren Klebelasche 24 verbunden ist.The FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of a blank 10 for producing a three-dimensional structure of cardboard. The three-dimensional structure is a packaging, in particular a folding box. The blank comprises folding walls 50, 52, 54, 56, 70, 72 connected wall and floor elements 12, 14, 16, 26, 28, 30, 32 for forming at least one container-like receiving area in the folded state of the blank 10 (not shown). Furthermore, it can be seen that the rear wall 16 via a bending line 74 with a first cover wall 22, the first cover wall 22 via a bending line 76 with a second cover wall 18 and the second cover wall 18 via a third bending line 78 with a third cover wall 20 to form a Closure cap 92 in the folded state of the blank 10 (not shown) are connected. The first cover wall 22 is also connected via the folding edges 54, 56 with cover side walls 34, 36. The third cover wall 20 is connected via folding edges 58, 60 with further cover side walls 38, 40. In addition, adhesive tabs 46, 48 are formed on the lid side walls 34, 36 via bending lines 86, 88, which abut in the folded state of the blank 10 on an inner side of the second lid wall 18 and are glued thereto. On the side opposite the second cover wall 18 side, the third cover wall 20 also has a bending line 80, via which it is connected to a further adhesive tab 24.

Man erkennt, dass die die Seitenwände 26, 28, 30, 32 mit der Vorder- und Rückwand 12, 16 verbindenden Faltkanten 50, 52, 54, 56 als Faltflächen ausgebildet sind. Gleiches gilt für die Deckelseitenwände 34, 36, die ebenfalls über als Faltflächen ausgebildete Faltkanten 54, 56 mit der ersten Deckelwand 22 verbunden sind. Auch die Faltkanten 58, 60, über die die dritte Deckelwand 20 mit den weiteren Deckelseitenwänden 38, 40 verbunden ist, sind als Faltflächen ausgebildet. Die Faltflächen weisen dabei alle dasselbe geometrische Muster bestehend aus einer Vielzahl von runden Öffnungen 94 auf. Man erkennt, dass die Öffnungen 94 in ihrem Durchmesser unterschiedlich sind und eine insgesamt streifenartige Faltfläche ausbilden. Die streifenartige Ausgestaltung der Faltflächen wird dabei durch eine parallele Anordnung mehrerer Reihen der Öffnungen 94 erzielt. Dabei wechseln sich in dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel Reihen bestehend aus Öffnungen 94 mit kleinerem Durchmesser mit Reihen bestehend aus Öffnungen 94 mit größerem Durchmesser alternierend ab. In dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel sind insgesamt sieben Reihen alternierender Öffnungen 94 parallel zueinander angeordnet. In ihrer Funktion entsprechen die Faltflächen der Funktion üblicher Faltkanten.It can be seen that the folding edges 50, 52, 54, 56 joining the side walls 26, 28, 30, 32 to the front and rear walls 12, 16 are designed as folding surfaces. The same applies to the cover side walls 34, 36, which are likewise connected to the first cover wall 22 via folding edges 54, 56 formed as folding surfaces. The folding edges 58, 60, via which the third cover wall 20 is connected to the further cover side walls 38, 40, are formed as folding surfaces. The folding surfaces all have the same geometric pattern consisting of a plurality of round openings 94. It can be seen that the openings 94 are different in their diameter and form an overall strip-like folding surface. The strip-like design of the folding surfaces is achieved by a parallel arrangement of several rows of openings 94. In the illustrated embodiment, rows consisting of openings 94 with a smaller diameter alternately alternate with rows consisting of openings 94 with a larger diameter. In the illustrated embodiment, a total of seven rows of alternating openings 94 are arranged parallel to each other. In their function, the folding surfaces correspond to the function of conventional folding edges.

Des Weiteren erkennt man, dass die Faltflächen derart dimensioniert sind, dass in gefaltetem Zustand des Zuschnitts 10 ein abgerundeter Faltbereich zwischen den jeweiligen Wand- und Bodenelementen 12, 16, 22, 20 und den anliegenden Seitenwänden 26, 28, 30, 32 sowie den Deckelseitenwänden 34, 36, 38, 40 entsteht. Zudem sind die Ecken des Bodenelements 14 und der zweiten Deckelwand 18 abgerundet ausgebildet, sodass sich die Form dieser beiden Elemente an die Form der Faltflächen in gefaltetem Zustand des Zuschnitts 10 anpasst.Furthermore, it can be seen that the folding surfaces are dimensioned such that in the folded state of the blank 10, a rounded folding area between the respective wall and floor elements 12, 16, 22, 20 and the adjacent side walls 26, 28, 30, 32 and the cover side walls 34, 36, 38, 40 is created. In addition, the corners of the bottom element 14 and the second cover wall 18 are rounded, so that the shape of these two elements adapts to the shape of the folded surfaces in the folded state of the blank 10.

Des Weiteren erkennt man, dass die Seitenwände 30, 32 über entsprechende Biegelinien 82, 84 angelenkte Klebelaschen 42, 44 aufweisen, wobei die Klebelaschen 42, 44 in gefaltetem Zustand des Zuschnitts 10 (nicht dargestellt) an einer Innenfläche des Bodenelements 14 verklebt sind. An den den Klebelaschen 42, 44 gegenüberliegenden Enden der Seitenwände 30, 32 sind diese über entsprechende Schnittlinien von den Deckelseitenwänden 34, 36 getrennt. Die Schnittlinien verlaufen dabei bis zu dem jeweiligen Anfangspunkt der Biegelinie 74, die zwischen der Rückwand 16 und der ersten Deckelwand 22 ausgebildet ist. Die Klebelaschen 42, 44 dienen im Zusammenspiel mit dem Bodenelement 14 zur Ausbildung einer Bodenkonstruktion 90 im zusammengefalteten Zustand des Zuschnitts 10.Furthermore, it can be seen that the side walls 30, 32 have adhesive tabs 42, 44 articulated via respective bending lines 82, 84, wherein the adhesive tabs 42, 44 (not shown) are glued to an inner surface of the bottom element 14 in the folded state of the blank 10. At the adhesive tabs 42, 44 opposite ends of the side walls 30, 32, these are separated via corresponding cutting lines of the cover side walls 34, 36. The cut lines run up to the respective starting point of the bending line 74, which is formed between the rear wall 16 and the first cover wall 22. The adhesive tabs 42, 44 serve in conjunction with the bottom element 14 to form a bottom construction 90 in the folded-up state of the blank 10.

Figur 2 zeigt eine schematische Darstellung einer zweiten Ausführungsform des Zuschnitts 10. Man erkennt, dass diese zweite Ausgestaltungsform mit der in Figur 1 gezeigten ersten Ausführungsform nahezu identisch ist, sodass bei der Figurenbeschreibung auf die Beschreibung der Figur 1 verwiesen wird. Im Unterschied zu dem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel weist der Zuschnitt 10 gemäß der zweiten Ausführungsform eine andere Ausgestaltung der als Faltflächen ausgebildeten Faltkanten 50, 52, 54, 56, 58, 60 auf. Man erkennt, dass die Öffnungen 94 wiederum rund ausgebildet sind, wobei der Durchmesser und der Abstand zwischen den einzelnen Öffnungen 94 von denen in Figur 1 gezeigten verschieden ist. Neben den in den Ausführungsbeispielen dargestellten runden Formen der Öffnungen 94 sind auch eine Vielzahl von weiteren geometrischen Formen denkbar und verwendbar. FIG. 2 shows a schematic representation of a second embodiment of the blank 10. It can be seen that this second embodiment with the in FIG. 1 shown in the first embodiment is almost identical, so that in the description of the figures on the description of FIG. 1 is referenced. in the In contrast to the first exemplary embodiment, the blank 10 according to the second embodiment has another embodiment of the folding edges 50, 52, 54, 56, 58, 60 designed as folding surfaces. It can be seen that the openings 94 are again formed round, wherein the diameter and the distance between the individual openings 94 of those in FIG. 1 shown is different. In addition to the round shapes of the openings 94 shown in the exemplary embodiments, a multiplicity of further geometric shapes are also conceivable and usable.

Die beschriebenen Zuschnitte 10 zur Herstellung dreidimensionaler Strukturen beziehungsweise Faltschachteln bestehen üblicherweise aus Karton, Papier oder Kunststoff. Auch andere geeignete Materialien sind denkbar. Die Faltflächen mit den Öffnungen 94 können durch Stanzen oder mittels Laserenergie hergestellt werden. Auch andere geeignete Herstellungsverfahren sind denkbar.The described blanks 10 for producing three-dimensional structures or folding boxes usually consist of cardboard, paper or plastic.
