Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a packaging unit for products like eggs and similar products like kiwis and tomatoes, for example.
  • WO 2013/019107 A1 and WO 2006/001696 A1 disclose a packaging unit made of moulded pulp with a bottom part for holding products like eggs, and a label.
  • Egg cases, containers or cartons known in practice are generally fabricated from carton made of moulded pulp from paper material. Such units comprise a bottom part provided with compartments for individual products, and a cover part that is often hingedly connected to the bottom part. Products like eggs are transported in these units and displayed on shelves in supermarkets, for example. Packaging units are often provided with labels that are often made of paper provided with a print and glued to the carton of the packaging unit.
  • One of the problems associated with providing a paper label with a carton is the restriction for recycling possibilities.
  • the present invention has for its object to obviate or at least reduce the above stated problems with known packaging units, for example packaging units for products like eggs, such as egg cases or egg cartons.
  • the present invention provides for this purpose a packaging unit according to claim 1.
  • a packaging unit comprising a container, preferably a carton, made of moulded pulp together with a label that is made of moulded pulp a full fibre packaging unit is achieved.
  • a full fibre packaging unit can be recycled favourably.
  • the packaging unit according to the present invention can be provided free of addition or chemical substances that are required for units with conventional paper labels. This achieves a significant effect on sustainability. This effect can be improved further by having the label shaped in the form of a rectangle such that no production waste is created.
  • the freedom for designing such a packaging unit is significantly increased. So it would be possible to present brand and/or product specific designed features possibly presenting the brand or product identity using the embossed label for the packaging unit according to the present invention.
  • This provides additional possibilities in the design process. For example, one container or carton design can be used for a range of products for different brands as the specific design features and identifications are provided on the label. This significantly reduces of change-overs related to the containers or cartons such that the cost can be carried by a (large) number of products if the designed features for which the change-over is done. Laborious adaptations to the production process can be kept to a minimum while improving the design options for the packaging unit.
  • the moulded pulp is manufactured from so-called mouldable paper relating to paper that has been compacted in the wet phase.
  • This compacting of the wet pulp improves the flexibility of the label material when the paper is dried such that it can be stretched plastically without breaking the surface of the paper.
  • a full fibre packaging unit comprising a container, such as a carton, made of moulded pulp and a label made of moulded pulp is over all visual appearance providing a unitary look or visual associated with the packaging unit. Furthermore, providing the container and a label of the packaging unit according to the present invention of similar material improves the haptic perception of someone handling the packaging unit. In fact, someone is provided with a unitary product when touching the product. Such tactile feedback of the unitary material packaging unit according to the present invention to the user and/or person handling the packaging unit provides this user and/or person with a unitary and association with sustainability.
  • the haptic effect described earlier that is associated with the packaging unit according to the present invention is further enhanced by providing the label with an embossing such that the optic effect is approved and/or the visual appearance of the packaging unit is strengthened due to the three-dimensional effect of such embossing on a label.
  • the label optionally is printed as a matt surface combined with a relatively soft touch.
  • the combination of the container, such as a carton, and label according to the invention further reduces any ridging effects that may occur when handling the packaging unit.
  • a container that is made of moulded pulp can be made of recycled fibres.
  • the label that is also made of moulded pulp is made of so-called virgin fibres that are better equipped to deal with the embossing of the label.
  • the embossing has a depth in the range of 0.1 - 1.5 mm, and more preferably in a range 0.5 - 1.0 mm.
  • a depth in the range of 0.1 - 1.5 mm has shown an optimal visual appearance without putting too much restrictions on the manufacturing equipment for producing the packaging units according to the present invention.
  • the container further comprises a cover part with a top, front and rear surface with a label being attached to at least the top surface.
  • the products are amongst other things protected by the packaging units according to the present invention.
  • a visual and haptic effect is achieved wherein the packaging unit remains the full fibre such that the packaging unit is a sustainable packaging unit that can be recycled relatively easily.
  • the top surface of the label also comprises an embossing. Besides the visual and haptic effect thereof, this embossing increases the friction resistance between two packaging units according to the present invention that are stapled on top of each other. This improves the stability of a stack of packaging units according to the present invention. This reduces damages to the packaging units and the products contained thereby during transport and handling thereof.
  • the friction coefficient of the mouldable label is about 0.53, and above 0,45. Additional measures, such as providing an embossing, may further increase the friction resistance.
  • the bottom part of the packaging unit is provided with friction resistance increasing elements.
  • Such elements may comprise ridges, grooves, pins, notches etcetera. This further improves the stability of a stack of packaging units, according to the present invention.
  • the friction resistance increasing elements provided on the bottom part of the packaging unit engage the embossing that is provided on the label provided on the cover part of the packaging unit to further improve the stability of a stack of packaging units.
  • cover part with an embossed label is that an impact of a packaging unit that is stacked on another packaging unit will not result in impact effects, such as indentation that significantly affects the overall visual appearance of the packaging unit according to the present invention. Such indentation will not change the overall appearance of the embossed label.
  • the shape of the embossing may also contribute to the an impact resistance.
  • walls and elements, preferably substantially oriented in the direction of the impact force, may improve the impact resistance.
  • the label is attached to the top surface such that air cushions are formed between the label and the cover part.
  • the air cushions provide an insulating effect. For example, this improves handling the container or packaging unit containing heated products.
  • the label of the packaging unit is provided with a visual appearance substantially similar to that of the container.
  • the label and container with a substantial similar visual appearance contributes to the effect on sustainability.
  • This visual appearance may involve roughness, hardness etc.
  • the label comprises an average surface roughness between 0.1 and 100 ⁇ m, more preferably between 0.5 and 10 ⁇ m, and most preferably between 1 and 4 ⁇ m.
  • the label further comprises a number of glue edges. These edges are glued when attaching the label to the container. This assures that the edges of the label are strongly attached to the container. In addition, this minimizes the amount of glue that is required when attaching the label to the container. Furthermore, this maintains the effect the air cushions may have on the impact resistance that is described earlier. Alternatively, or in addition thereto, the contact areas of the embossing with the container or packaging unit are glued to the container of packaging unit. This increases the impact resistance. In addition, this contributes to an anti-ridging effect.
  • the front surface of the bottom part of the packaging unit comprises a protrusion and the cover part comprises a front surface provided with a corresponding opening together defining a lock, and further the label comprises a surface provided with an embossing at the location of the opening in the cover front surface to enhance the locking function of the lock.
  • the packaging unit By locking the cover part and the bottom part at the front surface the packaging unit can be closed.
  • the rear surfaces of the cover part and the bottom part are hingedly connected.
  • the bottom part is provided with a protrusion shaped as an edge or a notch, and cover part is provided with a corresponding opening.
  • the protrusion can be provided directly on the bottom part or on a closing flap that is hingedly connected to the bottom part.
  • the lock is kept out of sight in the closed position due to the provision of the label over the opening, preferably by providing in the label an embossing at the location of the opening in the cover part. This provides an additional room or cavern for receiving the locking edge.
  • the label can be embossed with a depth of 1 mm, such that the protrusion in the bottom part can be 1 mm larger or be manoeuvred 1 mm further into the opening in the cover part.
  • the locking edge connected to the bottom part of the packaging unit protrudes outwards through the opening in the cover part at a slightly downward angle. This improves the locking function.
  • the label further comprises a groove through which an end of the protrusion protrudes in a closed position of the packaging unit. This further enhances the locking function. Furthermore, extending an and of the protrusion of the locking member slightly through the groove in the label provides a consumer with an indication where to find the lock and how to open the packaging unit from a closed position.
  • the label comprises an embossing with a shape such that the embossed label behaves as a stacking element.
  • packaging units are provided with so-called denesting or stacking nocks that function as a type of spacer maintaining a distance between individual packaging units when they are stacked in an open position awaiting for the products to be put inside the packaging unit, for example.
  • the label is provided with an embossing with a shape such that the embossed label behaves as a stacking element.
  • this shape relates to an embossing with a sufficient depth. This may obviate the need for separate stacking nocks or other denesting/stacking elements such that the overall design of the packaging unit according to the present invention can be made simpler and possibly less costly.
  • the label comprises a two-sided print.
  • the two-sided print preferably is combined with a container having an opening that corresponds to the label print or at least one side thereof. This achieves that one side of the label is in plain sight and the other (back) side of the label is visible through the opening of the carton.
  • the top surface of the label can be provided with the general markings indicating the type of product as a branch information.
  • the back side of the label can be provided with specific product information that would be visible when the cover part is lifted from the bottom part and the specific product information is made visible through an opening provided in the cover part of the packaging unit.
  • the manufacturing process with the method according to the invention is more cost effective. For example, this is achieved by reducing the amount of MF material and/or omitting the inside print on the MF material.
  • the MF product does not necessarily require a MF printer and can be handled on the labelling equipment.
  • the present invention further relates to a method for packing products comprising the step of providing a packaging unit as described above and placing therein one or more of the products.
  • a packaging unit 2 ( Figures 1-4 ) comprises a bottom part 4 with a front surface 6, two side surfaces 8, a back side 10, and a bottom side 12.
  • a cover part 14 is hingedly connected with hinge 16 to bottom part 4 to allow cover part 14 to move relatively to bottom part 4 between an open and a closed position.
  • Cover part 14 further comprises front surface 18, two side surfaces 20, a back side surface 22 and a top surface 24.
  • Label 26 is provided with top surface 28 on which text and/or images are printed.
