Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a banderole for embracing one or more articles, wherein the banderole has at least one perforation extending essentially parallel to the circumferential direction and the tear-open direction runs essentially parallel to the perforation.
  • the US-A-4 589 553 describes a package for elongated food products, which is provided at a narrow end with a holder in which a transverse seal and an adjacent portion of the package are held. Just above the holder, the packaging is provided with a circumferential perforation strip, which runs parallel to the transverse sealing seam. If the holder is held in one hand and pulled on the opposite transverse seal, so the package tears at the transverse seal and the food product can be kept like an ice cream in style and consume.
  • a banderole for covering one or more articles wherein the banderole at least one substantially parallel to Circumferentially extending perforation and the tearing direction is substantially parallel to the perforation.
  • This embodiment of the perforation according to the invention has proved to be particularly favorable in the field of frust-free packaging by means of bands.
  • the predetermined breaking point which runs perpendicular to the axis of symmetry of the packaged goods, it can be achieved that a user very easily take the good on both sides of the predetermined breaking point in both hands and can pierce the perforation by a simple opposite rotational movement.
  • two banderole halves can be generated from the banderole, which can then be easily removed from the product either individually or as required. This ease of removal can not be obtained by placing the full perforation perpendicular to the circumferential direction.
  • the packaged product must imperatively be taken in one hand and the perforation perpendicular to the circumferential direction by means of the other hand removed.
  • the tearing is therefore uncontrolled, so that the packaging can be easily damaged not only along the predetermined breaking point, the perforation, but also in other packaging areas.
  • this is prevented by the fact that both hands are used and so the use of force can be easily limited to the area of the predetermined breaking point. For this reason, a secure tearing at the predetermined breaking point in the circumferential direction can be achieved even with relatively thin, ie unstable packaging materials.
  • a banderole in the sense of the invention is meant paper or plastic film tapes, as such or for example printed, spanning the products and belong to the packaging of the product or enclose them.
  • the bands can only physically enclose the product or else be glued or stapled in some places with this.
  • the perforation direction according to the invention runs essentially parallel to the circumferential direction, this means that the perforation extends in the longitudinal direction and not in the transverse direction on the band and can enclose an angle of -45 ° to + 45 ° with the circumferential direction of the band.
  • the banderole comprises a cylindrical product
  • the banderole forms a hollow cylinder which is open at the sides and receives the product.
  • the perforation thus extends according to the invention not in the direction of the open sides of the wooden cylinder, but only along the circumference of the hollow cylinder. But it is also possible that over the circumference of the band no constant angle is maintained, but that the angle arbitrary or modulated, that can change with a certain period.
  • the tearing direction is substantially parallel to the perforation, that is, the detachment operation of the band from the article is achieved by tearing in the direction of the perforation.
  • the essential direction of the tearing is predetermined by the course of the perforation, but may vary in whole or in part by ⁇ 20 ° to this.
  • articles of daily use can be enclosed by the packaging solution according to the invention.
  • These products may include, for example, articles with a cylindrical configuration, such as, for example, pens, tubes, yarns and rolls, but also rolled-up tubes and bags, in particular garbage bags.
  • the perforation should have a certain extent.
  • the band can have a full perforation. This implies that the complete circumference of the band, as comprised by the product, has a continuous perforation.
  • the perforation may also expediently extend over only ⁇ 50% up to ⁇ 100% of the circumference of the band, preferably ⁇ 75% up to ⁇ 100% of the circumference of the band. Even with this partial perforation complete detachment of the band can be achieved.
  • the perforation consists of unaltered areas of the packaging material (webs) and weakened (perforated, embossed) areas.
  • the perforation may consist of usually perforated (perforated, embossed) and non-pierced regions of the packaging material that are pierced by alternating sections.
  • perforation in the perforated areas does not completely penetrate the packaging material, but rather that the integrity of the packaging material at the perforated locations is weakened by embossing.
  • embossing reduces the thickness of the packaging material at these points, a complete puncture of the packaging material is not necessary.
  • the band can be made of paper or coated paper.
  • the packaging materials known to the person skilled in the art can be used for the material of the banderole, but the use of paper has proved to be particularly advantageous with regard to the environmental friendliness, the production costs, and the safe removal of the banderole.
  • the paper can be used as such, as a printed paper or together with a printed or unprinted coating. Suitable coatings or impregnations are the coatings known to the person skilled in the art, preferably of polymeric material.
  • the banding material can only consist of printed or unprinted paper.
  • the paper band with a mean tear resistance according to ISO 1974: 2012 may consist of ⁇ 25 and ⁇ 700 mN.
  • These breakdown resistances in combination with the perforation arrangement according to the invention, have proven particularly suitable for being opened by a large proportion of the potential users with little effort. Higher breakdown resistances can be unfavorable because, despite perforation, too much force is required to open the packaging. Smaller breakdown resistances can lead to bands which, for example, unintentionally open themselves before being used by repacking the product in the retail trade.
  • the use of aluminum, plastic and / or composites thereof may be excluded as banding material.
  • Another characteristic of the invention discloses a band, wherein the perforation pierces the layer thickness of the banding material to ⁇ 50% and ⁇ 100%.
  • Important for achieving a full-scale predetermined breaking point in the band is the effective weakening of the integrity of the band. This weakness can be achieved by completely removing the packaging material along the full circumferential perforation at certain intervals. This can be done such that certain areas are punched out of the packaging material along a full-circumference line.
  • embossing By embossing, for example, the layer thickness of the packaging material can be reduced to the embossing points on up to 50%. This reduction in the layer thickness means that under mechanical stress, in particular, these joints tear with a smaller layer thickness and a simple separation of the two Banderolenhggedn can be achieved.
  • the perforation can consist of individual perforation holes, which are designed asymmetrically and the extent of the perforation holes parallel to the circumferential direction is greater than the extension of the perforation holes perpendicular thereto.
  • an asymmetrically configured perforation may be suitable for carrying out the process of removing the band from the product at an even lower expenditure of force. This may in particular be the result that the proportion of perforated (removed) surfaces along the perforation is higher than the proportion of non-perforated surfaces (webs). This situation always arises when the extent of the perforation along the perforation line is greater than the extent of the perforated surface perpendicular thereto. In this case, rectangular areas with very narrow webs arise.
  • the band in the perforation region may have a higher layer thickness.
  • the entire layer thickness in the area of the perforation is also used to set the required breaking strength.
  • the paper layer can be made thicker in these areas.
  • the band has exactly one complete perforation.
  • a particularly simple handling of the banderole according to the invention can result from the fact that this banderole has only exactly one complete perforation.
  • This embodiment is particularly suitable when it follows from the product that both banderole halves should be removed with once at the beginning of the use of the product. This may be the case in particular if only a single product is equipped with the band or if a plurality of products are to be used at once.
  • the perforation can be arranged centrally on the band.
  • this arrangement may be advantageous because it allows a symmetrical area distribution of the banding surface. This in turn allows a particularly defined tearing operation, since both sections are the same size and can be well encompassed by the user to the same extent.
  • two parts are generated after the tearing process, the surfaces of which differ by a maximum of ⁇ 10%. If the band has several perforations, the specified ratio for the areas after the first ripping operation applies.
  • the perforation may divide the banderole in an area ratio of 1: 2 to 1: 5.
  • the area ratio of the two areas divided by the perforation is not too different.
  • the banderole may have at least two spaced-apart perforations.
  • a plurality of perforations which run substantially parallel to the circumferential direction, attach to the band, so that only a part of the band is removed by means of an opposite rotational movement.
  • a central region of the band can remain on the product.
  • FIG. 1 shows schematically the packaging solution according to the invention for the packaging of a single, cylindrical article (1).
  • the packaging solution according to the invention is also applicable to the packaging or labeling of several and non-cylindrical articles.
  • the product is enclosed completely by the band (2), in which example the band (2) has a central perforation (3).
  • This perforation (3) of the packaging material forms a predetermined breaking point, which can be completely separated by simple, opposite rotation of the banderole halves around the predetermined breaking point, so that the individual parts of the band (2) in a flowing hand movement after the separation process easy to both sides can be taken out.
  • This is achieved in particular by forming the perforation (3) substantially parallel to the circumferential direction of the band (2).
  • This arrangement ensures that that the user of the product can grasp the product including the band (2) on both sides of the perforation (3) and perform a simple rotary movement.
  • This application is significantly simplified compared to arrangements in which a perforation is made perpendicular to the circumferential direction, since the user can use both hands for simultaneously gripping the product and the banderole (2).
  • a removal of the packaging without further use of tools is guaranteed.
  • it is up to the user to leave one or the other part of the band on the product. In this way, for example, with several articles, easy removal of individual articles while maintaining important information, such as the minimum shelf life or the specific product name, can be ensured.
  • the FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of the invention for the packaging and labeling of several articles (1).
  • the banderole (2) comprises the articles in full and also has a perforation (3). Also, this perforation (3) can be easily solved by oppositely rotating both Banderolenhdign. Thereafter, it is the user's choice to decide whether he solves both banderole halves or only one of the products.
  • the perforation (3) is not centrally located in this case and allows leaving either a smaller or a larger Banderolenteils on the product. Leaving the larger banderole part may cause the individual products to be held together after the banderole has been separated. Leaving the smaller banderole part may be appropriate if the individual items are very easy to remove and still leave important information for the user to the product.
  • FIG. 3 is a cross section of the packaging solution according to the invention shown.
  • the product (1) is completely covered by the band (2), the band (2) having a perforation (3).
  • the perforation (2) consists of areas in which the band is embossed or pierced and areas in which the packaging material is intact is.
  • the band (2) is completely pierced in the edge region.
  • the packaging material in the region of the perforation (3) has a greater layer thickness compared to the rest of the band. This can be advantageous if you generally want to work with little packaging material, but still must be given a secure durability in the perforation.
  • FIG. 4 shows a special embodiment of the invention, in which the band (2) has two full-length perforations (3).
  • the concrete arrangement of the perforations (3) is in principle arbitrary, but here selected so that a central region of the band can remain on the product after the two edge regions of the band have been removed.
  • the decision on where the perforation is separated, the user can easily determine by the choice of detention and pivot points. Removing the two edge areas ensures easy removal of the items and the remaining center area allows the items to be marked and prevents the items from falling apart completely.
