Definitions

  • the present invention generally finds application in the field of wrapping and packaging accessories and particularly relates to a multifunctional band for use in packaged containing bulk products, preferably food products.
  • Appropriate accessory elements are known to be used in wrapping and packaging bulk products, preferably food products, for display thereof, which elements are designed to be coupled to their containers.
  • the packages of these products have a semi-rigid tray made of cardboard or another similar material, which is adapted to contain the product designed for consumption, as well as a flexible bag which covers the whole tray to prevent the product from coming out of it and extend its shelf life.
  • These accessories consist of a band made of a sheet material, which is adapted to be at least partially wrapped around the bag to impart a given rigidity to the tray and prevent excessive deformation thereof during transport, storage and display to the public.
  • this band may have an outer surface printed with symbols and/or text, for easy recognition of the product by the user.
  • the band comprises a transverse panel which is adapted to contact the rear face of the package and has a pair of longitudinal panels extending therefrom and designed to wrap the sidewalls of the package. Furthermore, these longitudinal panels are joined to respective appendages which are adapted to cover the front face of the package and to be bonded to each other.
  • a first drawback of this arrangement is that this band is not self-supporting and only affords support of the package or stacking of a plurality of packages on a flat support of a refrigerated cabinet or a shelf, while not allowing the package to be hung from display stands with pegs, which are widespread especially in countries such as Switzerland, Germany and Austria.
  • an operator may hang the package from the tag by directly piercing the flexible package. This may cause air to enter the package, which will irremediably alter the preservation state of the food product.
  • a coupling member also in sheet form, is commonly bonded to the bag, and has a hole that may be variously shaped and sized, for receiving the peg.
  • the coupling sheet member may be easily torn along its fold line and may easily separate from the package if an inadequate amount of glue was used for bonding.
  • bags may be provided with a hole formed at the upper seal, but this arrangement requires expensive and complex equipment.
  • a plurality of micro-holes may be formed in the upper portion of the bag, allowing air to enter therein and alter the product preservation state as well as the original aesthetic appearance of the package.
  • WO2015051724 , US2007248292 , US6234673 , JPH08198245 and WO9315964 disclose accessories, e.g. bands, that may be applied to packages containing different types of products, and have at least one hole for receiving a peg of a display stand.
  • these bands or accessories are not able to stably support the package and, when they are applied thereto, they do not afford optimal display and identification of the product for the user.
  • the technical problem addressed by the present invention consists in providing a multifunctional band, that is designed to be applied to packages to make them self-supporting and allow them to be safely and stably fitted upon the pegs of a display stand, without altering the shelf life of the food product.
  • the object of the present invention is to solve the aforementioned technical problem and obviate the above drawbacks, by providing a multifunctional band designed to be applied to a package, that is highly efficient and relatively cost-effective.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a multifunctional band for application designed to a package that allows the package to hang from a peg in a particularly safe and stable manner.
  • a particular object of the present invention is to provide a multifunctional band for application designed to a package that can be manufactured and applied to the package in a very simple manner.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a multifunctional band designed to be applied to a package that will not alter the integrity of the package upon which it is applied.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a multifunctional band designed to be applied to a package that will always maintain the product in an optimal preservation state.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a multifunctional band that can be applied to the package using the same machines that are used for prior art identification bands.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a multifunctional band designed to be applied to a package that will provide quick and accurate identification of the product in the package.
  • a multifunctional band designed to be applied to a package as defined in claim 1, which comprises a sheet member with a hole for receiving a support peg of a display stand.
  • the band of the present invention provides a stable package support, can be manufactured in a simple manner, has a low cost and allows accurate identification of the product contained therein.
