Definitions
- the present invention relates to a packaging unit according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method for producing a packaging unit according to the preamble of claim 10.
- Packaging units made of individual products grouped into a product formation, in particular cans or the like. Containers which are fixed relative to one another by means of a shrinkable film are well known.
- the shrink film is wrapped around the product formation to form second opposing lateral, preferably frontal openings and then shrunk.
- the shrink film is formed with a closed surface in the form of a closure with overlapping fold areas.
- such packaging units or the shrunk-on film have two opposite end-side shrinkage eyes, which form on the opposite side surfaces.
- the shrunk-on film forms a closed surface in one embodiment.
- the shrinking or shrunk-on film can have an opening in the region of these shrinkage eyes.
- placing the packaging unit with the end face on a floor area covered with stones or other pointed particles may result in the products accommodated in the packaging unit, in particular cans, being damaged and the contents, for example beer, absorbed therein being discharged.
- Such packaged packaging units are also already known in which cans are accommodated on a cardboard carrier element of U-shaped cross-section, the products or cans being located on a rectangular receiving section of the carrier element and two flanged wall sections adjoining the edge sides thereof , which, however, have a narrow width.
- the wall sections of the support element extend with respect to their width up to a maximum of one third of the height of the products or the can height.
- the object is achieved on the basis of the preamble of claim 1 by its characterizing features. Furthermore, the object is achieved by a method for producing a packaging unit according to the preamble of claim 10 by its characterizing features.
- the essential aspect of the packaging unit according to the invention is to be seen in that for complete or almost complete coverage of at least one of the end faces, at least one cover element is provided, which is fixed to the product formation in the area of at least one of the front sides before shrinking the film. Due to the covering according to the invention of the end faces of the product formation or packaging unit by the cover element, damage to the products, in particular cans of the packaging unit, due to external influences can be effectively avoided.
- the at least one cover element made of cardboard, corrugated cardboard or a similar material is advantageously produced in one piece. Further advantageously, the at least one cover is flat and has a width which is greater than half the product height, but smaller than product height. Furthermore, the at least one flat cover element has a length that is smaller than the width of the packaging unit.
- Ante is the at least one cover flat and rectangular, oval or round.
- the at least one cover element is U-shaped. As a result, an effective protection of the corner region of the packaging unit is additionally achieved.
- a first and a second cover element are provided, wherein the first cover element is designed to completely cover the first opening and the second cover element to completely cover the second opening.
- the at least one covering element is glued to the product formation or individual products.
- the invention likewise provides a process for producing at least one packaging unit consisting of individual products combined to form a product formation and a shrunk-on film, in which the products are fixed against one another by means of the shrunk-on film, the packaging unit having at least two opposite end faces.
- at least one cover element is fixed in the region of at least one end face on the product formation before shrinking the film.
- the products and / or the at least one covering provided with an adhesive which can be prepared for example by spraying.

- the packaging unit 1 is preferably formed qua-shaped due to the arrangement of the products 2 in a product formation and has two opposite end faces 1 a, 1 b and two opposite longitudinal sides 1 c, 1 d. Finally, the packaging unit 1 still has an upper side 1 e and a lower side 1 f.
- the products 2 are exemplarily taken on a flat support member 3, and standing manner, ie the product longitudinal axis is perpendicular to the top of the flat support member 3, which is preferably made of cardboard, corrugated cardboard or a comparable material.
- the flat support member 3 may also be made of plastic or completely eliminated.
- the flat support element 3 has at least one rectangular receiving section 3.1, on which the products 2, in particular cans are arranged vertically, preferably directly next to each other and arranged in a matrix, ie in several rows and columns next to each other.
- the rectangular receiving section 3.1 of the flat support element 3 forms the underside 1f of the packaging unit 1.
- the packaging unit 1 comprises four columns, each with six cans, ie a total of 24 cans. It is understood that the invention is by no means limited to such a number of products 2 or cans, but may also comprise a different number of products 2 per packaging unit 1, without thereby departing from the inventive idea.
- the packaging unit 1 has a shrinkable film 4, by means of which the products 2 located on the rectangular receiving section 3.1 are fixed relative to one another and to the flat supporting element 3.
- the shrinkable film 4 is wrapped around the product formation, in such a way that it forms an opening in the region of the end faces 1 a, 1 b of the packaging unit 1.
- the shrinkable film 4 is shrunk in an associated shrink tunnel, whereby the end faces 1 a, 1 b are either completely covered with the shrunk-on film 4 or these are only partially covered, i. the shrinkable film or shrink film 4 forms two opposite end-side openings 4a, 4b which are located on the opposite end faces 1a, 1b of the packaging unit 1.
- the shrinking or shrunk-on film 4 thus has no closed surface.
- direct contact of the products 2 accommodated in the packaging unit 1, in particular of cans with the external environment, is possible.
