Description

The present invention relates to a packaging insert which is intended to be inserted into a packaging body and to provide, in the erected state, a multiplicity of quadrangular compartments for the separate loading of products. Furthermore, the invention relates to a packaging with a packaging body and at least one inserted therein inventive packaging insert, and a blank and a method for producing such a packaging insert.

Out CH 680 280 is a packaging for small items known. This packaging is composed of a top and a bottom part, which are separable from each other to release access to the articles. Both parts have alternately and against each other offset flat and recessed compartments in which the articles can be stored and transported separated from each other. Both upper part and lower part are made of plastic, whereby the package is relatively expensive overall. In addition, the use of plastic in the production as well as in the disposal of the environment.

In order to reduce the use of plastic as much as possible, it is known to produce packages which are composed of a packaging body and a packaging insert, wherein the packaging body of hard paper, corrugated cardboard or cardboard is made and the plastic packaging insert with Molded recesses for easy insertion or pouring of products. Such packages are typically referred to as "praline boxes." An example of this is in DE 10 143 151 shown. The disadvantage is that the made of plastic packaging inserts are expensive to manufacture and therefore expensive. Furthermore, the environment is burdened by the production and the subsequent disposal. Before disposal, a complex separation of the packaging insert from the other packaging material is also required.

There are also known packaging, which do without the use of plastic. For example, disclosed DE 69 601 228 a package of paper material with multiple folds, which are reinforced in the middle area. As a result, the packaging is given a total reinforcement and shock forces on the packaging only reduced to the products contained forwarded. However, there is the problem that the products can move freely within the package. This can cause damage, especially on the surface of the products.

Out CH 705 900 a packaging insert of a paper material is known, which is insertable into a packaging body and is formed from a strip of material. The strip of material has a plurality of ruptures which are arranged such that, upon application of a folding operation along the rupture, a plurality of compartments for the separate loading of products is formed. In the CH 705 900 revealed packaging insert has the disadvantage that for erecting a relatively complicated folding and upsetting process necessary is, which must be carried out in laborious manual work.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a packaging insert, which is not only simple, material-saving and inexpensive to produce, but also allows a quick and easy erection. In addition, the packaging insert should also provide a reliable hold for inlaid products.

This object is achieved by the packaging insert according to claim 1, the packaging according to claim 9, the blank according to claim 11 and the method for producing a packaging insert according to claim 14. Preferred embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.

In a first aspect, this invention relates to a packaging insert which is intended to be inserted into a packaging body.

The inventive packaging insert is formed from a single strip of material having a plurality of sections and fold lines which are arranged parallel to each other, that a plurality of quadrangular compartments for the separated insertion of products is provided by the packaging insert in the erected state. By the claimed packaging insert six compartments, which are arranged in two rows, provided, wherein in each row two outer compartments and an inner compartment arranged therebetween are present. The compartments are each separated by a portion of the strip of material.

According to the invention, the four outer compartments are surrounded on all four sides by a simply guided section of the material strip. A first inner compartment is only surrounded on the three sides facing the other compartments by a simply guided section of the material strip and open on the side remote from the second inner compartment. And the second inner compartment is surrounded on the three sides facing the other compartments by a simply guided section of the material strip and surrounded on the side remote from the first inner compartment side by a double-guided section of the material strip.

In addition, the material strip of the packaging insert according to the invention has two terminal fastening straps which are connected by terminal fold lines, each with a terminal section of the material strip, and two internal fastening straps which project from an internal section of the material strip. Each fastening tab is in each case attached to an associated section of the material strip. In the context of this text, assigned sections are those sections on which the respective fastening straps abut in the erected state.

The packaging insert according to the invention serves to define six square compartments into which products can be inserted. These can be, for example, chocolates or other sweets, but also jewelery or beverage bottles. The packaging insert separates the individual products from one another by forming the sections of the material strip between them. As a result, the inventive Packaging insert not only ideal for the safe transport of sensitive products, but also allows a visually appealing presentation of the inserted products. Products with a quadrangular shape corresponding to the quadrangular compartments as well as products of any other shape may be loaded, it being preferred that a product contact the sidewalls of the compartment at least at three points in order for the product to be within The compartment can not move freely and possibly be damaged.

The packaging insert according to the invention has no bottom and is therefore intended to be inserted into a packaging body.

The inventive packaging insert has - except for the attachment tabs - only just an area in which the strip of material is doubly guided. As a result, the material consumption can be minimized.

The first inner compartment is open on the side remote from the second inner compartment. This will not only save the material for this one side wall, but it will also prevent additional areas with double-led strip of material. In the case of the open side of the first inner compartment, one wall of the packaging body or another packaging insert inserted therein usually serves as a boundary for the inserted product.

The packaging insert according to the invention has a longitudinal direction L and a transverse direction Q. Regardless of the size of the sections, in the context of this application the The longitudinal direction L of the packaging insert is defined as the direction in which three compartments are arranged, and the transverse direction Q as that in which two compartments are arranged. Longitudinal direction L and transverse direction Q need not necessarily be at right angles to each other; but this is preferred.

The individual compartments provided by the packaging insert may all be the same size or may be of different sizes. Preferably, however, the three compartments arranged in a row have the same length in the transverse direction Q and two adjacent compartments arranged in different rows have the same length in the longitudinal direction L. Otherwise it may be necessary to provide further areas in which the strip of material is doubly guided ,

The use of just four fastening straps makes it possible to provide a sturdy and robust packaging insert, which can be erected very easily at the same time. This allows a minimization of attachment points and thus a quick and easy production, which can be done completely by machine. The attachment tabs are preferably glued to the associated portions of the strip of material. This allows a simple and inexpensive attachment. Alternatively, for example, an attachment by means of staples would be conceivable. For example, the internal fastening tabs may be cut or punched out of a portion adjacent to the portion from which they protrude. In the erected state, the internal fastening tabs are preferably in the plane of the respective section from which they protrude.

According to a preferred embodiment, the compartments are parallelogram-shaped. Particularly preferably, the compartments are rectangular, diamond-shaped or square. Preferably, the compartments have all right angles, i. they are rectangular or square. Alternatively, it is also possible that the angles deviate from 90 °. In any case, it is preferred that the angles corresponding to those of the packaging body, since in this case the space of the packaging body can be optimally utilized.

Particularly preferably, the compartments are one longitudinal unit long in the longitudinal direction and one transverse unit in the transverse direction. In this case, all compartments are the same size and have the same length and width. Alternatively, it is also possible that the compartments are the same length only in one of the two directions and differ in the other.

According to a preferred embodiment, the strip of material has a total of thirteen successive sections, which are separated from the adjacent section by a respective fold line. These sections are not necessarily all the same length and do not have to correspond to the side length of a single compartment, but may extend across several compartments.

According to a particularly preferred embodiment, portions of the material strip are of different lengths. In this case, some of the sections extend over a side length of a single compartment while other sections are two or three side lengths long. In particular, it is advantageous that the lengths of the individual Sections of a side length of a compartment or a longitudinal or transverse side of the packaging insert correspond.

Most preferably, the individual sections, counted from a first end of the material strip, have the following lengths: First section: 1 longitudinal unit Second part: 1 cross unit Third section: 1 longitudinal unit Fourth section: 1 cross unit Fifth section: 1 longitudinal unit Sixth section: 1 cross unit Seventh section: 1 longitudinal unit Eighth section: 2 cross units Ninth section: 3 longitudinal units Tenth section: 2 cross units Eleventh section: 1 longitudinal unit Twelfth section: 1 cross unit Thirteenth section: 1 longitudinal unit.

In this case, a longitudinal or transverse unit corresponds to the side length of a single compartment in the longitudinal or transverse direction L or Q. This of course corresponds to the embodiment in which the second end opposite the first end of the material strip has been counted from: First section: 1 longitudinal unit Second part: 1 cross unit Third section: 1 longitudinal unit Fourth section: 2 cross units Fifth section: 3 longitudinal units Sixth section: 2 cross units Seventh section: 1 longitudinal unit Eighth section: 1 cross unit Ninth section: 1 longitudinal unit Tenth section: 1 cross unit Eleventh section: 1 longitudinal unit Twelfth section: 1 cross unit Thirteenth section: 1 longitudinal unit.

By means of this particularly preferred embodiment, the guidance of the material strip in the packaging insert is optimized and the material consumption is minimized.

According to a preferred embodiment, the seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth fold lines of the material strip, counted from the first end, form the outer edges of the packaging insert. In addition, the first and the fifth or the fourth and the twelfth fold line of the material strip particularly preferably come into contact, counted from the first end, at least approximately. Thus, the first and fifth fold lines form a first contact point, where four compartments meet, and the fourth and twelfth fold lines form a second such contact point. Preferably, the contacting fold lines are held in contact by means of the internal fastening tabs. Alternatively, it is also possible that the respective fold lines only touch approximately.

According to a preferred embodiment, a first internal fastening tab projects from a portion adjacent the first or fifth fold line and is associated with a portion of the strip of material adjacent the other fold line, while a second internal fastening tab projects from a portion adjacent the fourth or twelfth fold line and one to the each other fold line is assigned adjacent section of the material strip. Such an arrangement of the internal fastening straps ensures the stability of the packaging insert according to the invention. In particular, the fold lines in the region of the contact points are held at least approximately in contact. Preferably, the internal mounting tabs are in the erected packaging insert in the same plane as the portion from which they protrude.

Particularly preferably, both internal fastening tabs are from the fifth section. This allows a particularly simple production of the packaging insert, in particular during the molding and fastening of the fastening tabs.

According to a preferred embodiment, the doubly guided sections of the material strip are fastened to one another, preferably adhesively bonded. This leads to an additional stabilization of the inventive packaging insert. In particular, it is prevented that in question sections of the material strip separate or move relative to each other.

According to a preferred embodiment, the packaging insert according to the invention consists of a paper material, in particular of kraft paper, corrugated cardboard or cardboard. This not only allows a simple and inexpensive production, but also allows in particular an environmentally friendly disposal or recycling. This embodiment is particularly preferred when the packaging insert is inserted in a packaging body which likewise consists of a paper material, so that no separation is necessary before disposal.

Alternatively, it would also be possible to use the plastic packaging insert, e.g. from a PET film.

In a second aspect, the present invention relates to a packaging comprising a packaging body and one or more packaging inserts inserted therein. Such a package is particularly well suited for the transport, storage and / or presentation of products that are to be kept separate. Typical examples are chocolates and other sweets, jewelery or beverage bottles. Preferably, the compartments are adapted to the size and shape of the products to be inserted.

Depending on whether one or more packaging inserts are inserted into a packaging body, the packaging is suitable for six, twelve, eighteen or a further multiple of six products. Of course, individual compartments can be left empty or several products can be placed in the same compartment.

The packaging body has at least one bottom and four side walls, optionally also a lid and / or partitions. It is preferably square or rectangular, but may also be diamond-shaped or otherwise parallelogram-shaped. Preferably, the inserted package insert (s) has / have the same basic shape as the packaging body.

According to a preferred embodiment, a plurality of packaging inserts are arranged in the packaging body such that all compartments on all four sides of at least one section of the material strip one of Packaging inserts or from a side wall of the packaging body are limited.

In addition, there are two terminal fastening tabs, which are connected by terminal fold lines, each with a terminal portion of the strip of material, and two internal fastening tabs which project from an internal portion of the strip of material.

Such a blank allows rapid and simple production of a packaging insert according to the invention or several packaging inserts according to the invention from a single strip of material in each case. In particular, not only can the blank be machined per se, but also the attachment steps and at least part of the folding steps can be performed by machine. Among other things, the parallel arrangement of the sections and fold lines is particularly advantageous.

The width of the material strip corresponds to the finished erected packaging insert the amount of defined by them compartments. In this case, the strip of material preferably has the same width over its entire length. It But it is also possible that the strip of material having different width sections, or that changes the width of the strip of material within a section. In particular, the strip of material may have one or more recesses on one or both longitudinal sides. Such recess facilitate the erected packaging insert gripping the products contained in the compartments.

According to a preferred embodiment, the blank comprises a plurality of strips of material and thus serves to form a plurality of packaging inserts. These preferably have the same dimensions. But it would also be possible that in particular the height of the packaging inserts (corresponding to the width of the material strip) is different. As a result, a plurality of packaging inserts can be cut and provided with the necessary fold lines in a single operation.

Particularly preferred in each case two adjacent strips of material are joined together on their mutually facing longitudinal side. This can be done for example via one or more, preferably several, separable breakpoints.

According to a preferred embodiment, the fold lines are perforated. This not only allows a simple production, but also guarantees that the strips of material can be reliably folded at the intended locations.

If the blank has a plurality of strips of material, it is particularly preferred that the corresponding sections of all strips of material are of equal length, so the fold lines can be executed as straight lines across all material strips. In addition, this also allows to leave the strips of material connected at least during part of the folding and fastening steps and to separate later. As a result, these operations can be carried out jointly for a plurality of strips of material, which further simplifies production and, in particular, also permits machine implementation.
