Stapelecken sind überdies auch aus
Die Längsseiten-wände wiederum sind über eine Faltlinie mit je einer Lasche verbunden, die in die Bodenebene hineinragt und einen Teil der Bodenplatte des Behältnisses bildet. Ein weiterer Teil der Bodenplatte wird durch Stützfüsse gebildet, die aus einem Teil des aus der Lochplatte ausgestanzten Zuschnittmaterials gebildet sind und ebenfalls in die Bodenebene hineinragen. Dadurch können die von den Längsseitenwänden abstehenden Laschen gekürzt und somit Material gespart werden.The longitudinal side walls in turn are connected via a fold line, each with a tab which projects into the ground plane and forms part of the bottom plate of the container. Another part of the bottom plate is formed by support feet, which are formed from a part of the punched out of the perforated plate blank material and also project into the ground plane. As a result, the protruding tabs from the longitudinal side walls can be shortened and thus material can be saved.
Nachteile der aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Behältnisse und Zuschnitte sind insbesondere die mangelnde Stabilität und der hohe Materialbedarf.Disadvantages of the known from the prior art containers and blanks are in particular the lack of stability and high material requirements.
Es ist eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein Behältnis und einen entsprechenden Zuschnitt zur Verfügung zu stellen, das sich durch eine noch höhere Stabilität und insbesondere eine weiter verbesserte Verwindungssteifigkeit bei einem geringen Materialbedarf auszeichnet.It is an object of the present invention to provide a container and a corresponding blank, which is characterized by an even higher stability and in particular a further improved torsional rigidity with a low material requirement.
Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch das Behältnis gemäss Anspruch 1 und den Zuschnitt gemäss Anspruch 15. Bevorzugte Ausführungsformen sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche.This object is achieved by the container according to
In einem ersten Aspekt betrifft die vorliegende Erfindung ein Behältnis mit Ausnehmungen zur Aufnahme von Gegenständen aus einem einzigen ebenen Zuschnitt mit einer Längsrichtung L und einer Querrichtung Q. Das Behältnis umfasst eine zumindest im Wesentlichen rechteckige Bodenplatte, welche eine Bodenebene B definiert. Die Bodenplatte weist mindestens zwei Bodenplattenabschnitte auf, die sich in der Längsrichtung L ununterbrochen über die gesamte Länge des Behältnisses erstrecken. Integral an der Bodenplatte angeordnet sind Randelemente, die von randseitigen Bodenfaltlinien abstehen und aufgerichtete Längs- und Stirnseitenwände bilden. Die Seitenwände können jeweils aus einem einzigen Stück bestehen oder können auch aus mehreren Stücken zusammengefügt werden, sind aber immer integral mit der Bodenplatte verbunden.In a first aspect, the present invention relates to a container having recesses for receiving articles from a single planar blank having a longitudinal direction L and a transverse direction Q. The container comprises an at least substantially rectangular bottom plate defining a bottom plane B. The bottom plate has at least two bottom plate sections, which extend in the longitudinal direction L uninterrupted over the entire length of the container. Integrally arranged on the bottom plate are edge elements which project from edge-side bottom fold lines and form upright longitudinal and end side walls. The side walls can each consist of a single piece or can also be assembled from several pieces, but are always integrally connected to the bottom plate.
Das erfindungsgemässe Behältnis umfasst weiter wenigstens einen jeweils zwischen zwei Bodenplattenabschnitten wenigstens annähernd parallel zu den Längsseitenwänden verlaufenden, von der Bodenplatte aufgerichteten Steg mit von der Bodenplatte abstehenden Stegseitenwänden und einem zwischen den Stegseitenwänden angeordneten, flächigen Stegrücken. Der Stegrücken definiert eine zumindest im Wesentlichen parallel zur Bodenebene B verlaufende, oberhalb der Bodenebene B liegende Halterebene H und erstreckt sich in der Längsrichtung L zumindest annähernd über die gesamte Länge des Behältnisses ununterbrochen.The container according to the invention further comprises at least one each between two bottom plate sections at least approximately parallel to the longitudinal side walls extending, erected by the bottom plate web with protruding from the bottom plate web side walls and a arranged between the web side walls, flat web backs. The web back defines a holder plane H extending at least substantially parallel to the ground plane B and located above the ground plane B, and extends in the longitudinal direction L at least approximately over the entire length of the container uninterrupted.
Ebenso umfasst das erfindungsgemässe Behältnis integral an den Längsseitenwänden angeordnete Längsdeckstreifen, die von randseitigen Längsfaltlinien in Richtung zur Längsmitte des Behältnisses hin abstehen und sich in der Längsrichtung L ununterbrochen zumindest annähernd über die gesamte Länge des Behältnisses erstrecken. Die Längsdeckstreifen definieren eine zumindest im Wesentlichen parallel zur Bodenebene B verlaufende, oberhalb der Bodenebene B und vorzugsweise auch oberhalb der Halterebene H liegende Deckebene D.Likewise, the inventive container integrally arranged on the longitudinal side walls longitudinal cover strips which project from edge longitudinal fold lines toward the longitudinal center of the container and extending in the longitudinal direction L at least approximately over the entire length of the container. The Longitudinal cover strips define a ceiling plane D extending at least substantially parallel to the ground plane B, above the ground plane B and preferably also above the holder plane H.
Zudem sind beim erfindungsgemässen Behältnis in der Halterebene H angeordnete Halterelemente vorhanden, die vom mindestens einen Steg in Richtung zu den Längsseitenwänden oder der Längsmitte des Behältnisses hin abstehen. Die Stegseitenwände weisen Aussparungen auf, und die Halterelemente sind aus dem Zuschnittmaterial dieser Aussparungen gebildet. Vorzugsweise sind die Halterelemente aus dem kompletten Zuschnittmaterial der Aussparungen gebildet.In addition, in the container according to the invention in the holder plane H arranged holder elements are present, which protrude from at least one web in the direction of the longitudinal side walls or the longitudinal center of the container. The web side walls have recesses, and the holder elements are formed from the blank material of these recesses. Preferably, the holder elements are formed from the complete blank material of the recesses.
Im Rahmen dieser Anmeldung bedeutet der Ausdruck "in Richtung zur Längsmitte", "in Richtung zur Quermitte" oder "in Richtung zu einer Längsseitenwand", dass ein bestimmtes Element in diese Richtung zeigt, aber nicht unbedingt bis zur Längsmitte bzw. zur Längsseitenwand reichen muss.As used herein, the term "toward the longitudinal center", "toward the transverse center" or "toward a longitudinal side wall" means that a particular element is pointing in that direction but need not necessarily extend to the longitudinal center or longitudinal side wall ,
Das erfindungsgemässe Behältnis zeichnet sich weiterhin dadurch aus, dass die Bodenplattenabschnitte stirnseitige Wandfortsätze aufweisen, welche die Stirnseitenwände sowie an den Stirnseitenwänden integral angeordnete Querdeckabschnitte bilden. Dabei stehen die Querdeckabschnitte von randseitigen Querfaltlinien in Richtung zur Quermitte des Behältnisses hin ab. Zudem verlaufen die Querdeckabschnitte im Wesentlichen parallel zur Bodenebene B und liegen oberhalb der Bodenebene B und der Halterebene H, und dass die Wandfortsätze (34, 36, 38, 40) eines Bodenplattenabschnittes in einem Überlappungsbereich an den Wandfortsätzen (34, 36, 38, 40) eines benachbarten Bodenplattenabschnittes anliegen und im Überlappungsbereich (104) fest mit diesen verbunden sind, wobei die Überlappungsbereiche (104) zumindest im Wesentlichen in der Bodenebene B und/oder in den Stirnseitenwänden (102) liegen.The container according to the invention is further distinguished by the fact that the bottom plate sections have end wall projections which form the end side walls as well as transverse cover sections integrally arranged on the end side walls. In this case, the transverse deck sections project from edge-side transverse fold lines in the direction of the transverse center of the container. In addition, the transverse deck sections run essentially parallel to the floor plane B and lie above the floor plane B and the holder plane H, and in that the wall extensions (34, 36, 38, 40) of a bottom plate section in an overlapping region on the wall extensions (34, 36, 38, 40 ) abut an adjacent bottom plate portion and in the overlapping region (104) are fixedly connected thereto, wherein the Overlap areas (104) at least substantially in the ground plane B and / or in the end walls (102) lie.
Das erfindungsgemässe Behältnis eignet sich insbesondere als Präsentations-, Transport- und/oder Lagerbehältnis. Dabei befinden sich die zu präsentierenden, zu transportierenden und/oder zu lagernden Gegenstände in den durch die Halterelemente gebildeten Ausnehmungen und stehen oder liegen auf der Bodenplatte.The container according to the invention is particularly suitable as a presentation, transport and / or storage container. In this case, the objects to be presented, transported and / or stored are located in the recesses formed by the holder elements and stand or lie on the bottom plate.
Durch den flächigen Stegrücken, der sich ununterbrochen wenigstens annähernd über die gesamte Länge des Behältnisses erstreckt, konnte die Stabilität und insbesondere die Verwindungssteifigkeit wesentlich verbessert werden. Dadurch eignet sich das erfindungsgemässe Behältnis besonders gut für das maschinelle Aufrichten und Befüllen, und bietet einen besonders guten Schutz für darin enthaltene Gegenstände während Transport und Lagerung. Zudem ist der Steg besonders vorteilhaft, wenn mehr als zwei Reihen von Gegenständen im Behältnis angeordnet werden sollen. Vorzugsweise erstreckt sich der Stegrücken ununterbrochen über die gesamte Länge des Behältnisses.Due to the flat web back, which extends continuously at least approximately over the entire length of the container, the stability and in particular the torsional stiffness could be substantially improved. As a result, the container according to the invention is particularly well suited for automatic straightening and filling, and offers particularly good protection for items contained therein during transport and storage. In addition, the bridge is particularly advantageous if more than two rows of objects are to be arranged in the container. Preferably, the web back extends uninterruptedly over the entire length of the container.
Auch durch die Bodenplattenabschnitte, die sich in der Längsrichtung L ununterbrochen über die gesamte Länge des Behältnisses erstrecken, wurde eine weitere Verbesserung der Verwindungssteifigkeit und Stabilität erzielt.Also, by the bottom plate portions, which extend in the longitudinal direction L continuously over the entire length of the container, a further improvement in the torsional stiffness and stability has been achieved.
Dadurch, dass die Halterelemente aus dem Zuschnittmaterial der Aussparungen der Stegseitenwände gebildet sind, ist eine deutliche Materialeinsparung möglich. Insbesondere wird durch diese Ausgestaltung die Menge an Abfallmaterial, das beim Anbringen der Aussparungen in den sonst üblichen Lochplatten angefallen wäre, massiv gesenkt oder sogar ganz vermieden. Zudem kann auch die Grösse des Zuschnitts, der für ein Behältnis bestimmter Grösse notwendig ist, im Vergleich zum Stand der Technik signifikant verringert werden, was eine deutliche Platzeinsparung bei der Produktion bedeutet. Damit sind weiter Einsparungen in der Produktion, in der Logistik und in der Weiterverarbeitung verbunden. Durch Energieeinsparung werden Ressourcen geschont und der CO2 Ausstoss sowie der Wasserverbrauch ist minimiert.The fact that the holder elements are formed from the blank material of the recesses of the web side walls, a significant material savings is possible. In particular, by this embodiment, the amount of waste material that would be incurred in attaching the recesses in the otherwise usual perforated plates, massively reduced or even completely avoided. In addition, the size of the blank, which is necessary for a container of a certain size, compared to the prior art can be significantly reduced, which means a significant space savings in production. This will continue to bring savings in production, logistics and further processing. Energy savings conserve resources and CO 2 emissions and water consumption are minimized.
Die Grösse und Form der Halterelemente und damit der Aussparungen der Stegseitenwände ist vorzugsweise derart gewählt, dass die Aussparungen nicht bis in die Bodenplatte hinein erstrecken. Das heisst, dass sich die Stegseitenwände vorzugsweise zumindest in einem Bodenplatten-seitigen unteren Bereich ununterbrochen über zumindest annähernd die gesamte Länge des Behältnisses erstreckt. Dadurch wird die Stabilität des Stegs und insbesondere auch die Verwindungssteifigkeit des Behältnisses signifikant verbessert.The size and shape of the holder elements and thus the recesses of the web side walls is preferably selected such that the recesses do not extend into the bottom plate. This means that the web side walls preferably extend at least in a bottom plate-side lower region continuously over at least approximately the entire length of the container. As a result, the stability of the web and in particular the torsional stiffness of the container is significantly improved.
Das erfindungsgemässe Behältnis unterscheidet sich von dem in
Durch die erfindungsgemässe Ausgestaltung wird die Stabilität und insbesondere die Verwindungssteifigkeit des Behältnisses noch weiter verbessert.The inventive design, the stability and in particular the torsional rigidity of the container is further improved.
Gemäss einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform weisen die Bodenplattenabschnitte stirnseitig erweiterte Endbereiche auf. Dadurch wird die Bodenplatte und damit das gesamte Behältnis zusätzlich verstärkt.According to a preferred embodiment, the bottom plate sections on the end side extended end portions. As a result, the bottom plate and thus the entire container is additionally reinforced.
Gemäss einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform liegen auch die erweiterten Endbereiche eines Bodenplattenabschnittes in einem Überlappungsbereich an den erweiterten Endbereichen eines benachbarten Bodenplattenabschnittes an und sind im Überlappungsbereich fest mit diesen verbunden. Dabei liegen die Überlappungsbereiche zumindest im Wesentlichen in der Bodenebene B und/oder in den Stirnseitenwänden und/oder in den Querdeckabschnitten. Bevorzugt erstrecken sich die Überlappungsbereiche von der Bodenebene B über die Stirnseitenwände bis in die Querdeckabschnitte. Diese Ausgestaltung führt zu einer weiteren Versteifung des Behältnisses.According to a preferred embodiment, the extended end regions of a base plate section lie in an overlapping region against the widened end regions of an adjacent base plate section and are firmly connected thereto in the overlapping region. The overlapping areas are at least substantially in the ground plane B and / or in the front side walls and / or in the transverse deck sections. Preferably, the overlapping areas extend from the ground plane B over the front side walls to the transverse deck sections. This embodiment leads to a further stiffening of the container.
Vorzugsweise sind die Wandfortsätze im Überlappungsbereich fest miteinander verbunden, beispielsweise durch Kleben oder Heften. Es sind auch andere kraft-, reib- oder stoffschlüssige Verbindungen möglich, wie beispielsweise stecken, nieten, Hochfrequenz-Verbindungen etc. Besonders bevorzugt sind die Wandfortsätze im Überlappungsbereich durch Kleben an Klebestellen miteinander verbunden. Dies erlaubt eine rasche und sichere Verbindung, die auch maschinell bewerkstelligt werden kann.Preferably, the wall extensions are firmly connected to each other in the overlapping area, for example by gluing or stapling. There are also other non-positive, frictional or cohesive connections possible, such as stuck, rivets, high-frequency connections, etc. Particularly preferably, the wall extensions are connected to each other in the overlapping area by gluing at splices. This allows a quick and secure connection, which can also be done by machine.
Vorzugsweise sind die Wandfortsätze im Überlappungsbereich verpresst. Dadurch kann die Wandstärke im Überlappungsbereich reduziert werden. Besonders bevorzugt sind die Wandfortsätze im Überlappungsbereich derart verpresst, dass die die resultierende Wandstärke zumindest annähernd der Wandstärke eines einzelnen unverpressten Abschnitts entspricht. Für eine solche Ausführungsform wird vorzugsweise Wellkarton verwendet.Preferably, the wall extensions are pressed in the overlapping area. As a result, the wall thickness in the overlapping area can be reduced. Particularly preferably, the wall extensions are pressed in the overlapping area such that the resulting wall thickness at least approximately equal to the wall thickness of a single unpressed section. For such an embodiment, corrugated cardboard is preferably used.
Gemäss einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform überlappen die Halterelemente nicht miteinander. Dies bezieht sich insbesondere auf Halterlemente, die von benachbarten Stegen abstehen und aufeinander zugerichtet sind. In diesem Fall können die Halterelemente und damit auch die zugehörigen Aussparungen in den Stegseitenwänden entsprechend kleiner ausgestaltet werden, als beispielsweise aus der
Gemäss einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform weist das erfindungsgemässe Behältnis zusätzliche Haltezungen auf, die von einem Stegrücken zu einer der Längsseitenwände hin abstehen und dort in einem Überlappungsbereich an den Längsdeckstreifen anliegen. Diese Haltezungen sind vorzugsweise ebenfalls integral aus demselben einen Zuschnitt gebildet und sind aus dem Zuschnittmaterial von weiteren Aussparungen in den Stegseitenwänden gebildet, welche sich besonders bevorzugt bis in die Bodenplatte hinein erstrecken. Auch durch diese Haltezungen wird die Verwindungssteifigkeit des Behältnisses zusätzlich verbessert. Bevorzugt weist das Behältnis pro Längsseitenwand mindestens eine zusätzliche Haltezunge, besonders bevorzugt jeweils zwei zusätzliche Haltezungen pro Längsseitenwand auf.According to a preferred embodiment, the container according to the invention has additional holding tongues which protrude from a web back to one of the longitudinal side walls and rest there against the longitudinal cover strip in an overlapping region. These holding tongues are also preferably integrally formed from the same one blank and are formed from the blank material of further recesses in the web side walls, which particularly preferably extend into the bottom plate. Also by these retaining tongues, the torsional rigidity of the container is additionally improved. The container preferably has at least one additional holding tongue per longitudinal side wall, more preferably two additional holding tongues per longitudinal side wall.
Vorzugsweise sind die Haltezungen im Überlappungsbereich fest mit dem jeweiligen Längsdeckstreifen verbunden, beispielsweise durch Kleben oder Heften. Es sind auch andere kraft-, reib- oder stoffschlüssige Verbindungen möglich, wie beispielsweise stecken, nieten, Hochfrequenz-Verbindungen etc. Dadurch wird die Stabilität des erfindungsgemässen Behältnisses verbessert und insbesondere die Verwindungssteifigkeit weiter erhöht.Preferably, the retaining tongues are firmly connected in the overlap region with the respective longitudinal cover strip, for example by gluing or stapling. There are too Other force, friction or material connections possible, such as stuck, rivets, high-frequency connections, etc. This improves the stability of the container according to the invention and in particular further increases the torsional rigidity.
Besonders bevorzugt sind die Haltezungen im Überlappungsbereich durch Kleben an Klebestellen mit dem jeweiligen Längsdeckstreifen verbunden. Dies erlaubt eine rasche und sichere Verbindung, die auch maschinell bewerkstelligt werden kann. Besonders bevorzugt weist die Bodenplatte unterhalb der Klebestellen Durchbrüche auf. Diese Durchbrüche vereinfachen, nach dem Auftragen von Klebstoff, das Festpressen der Haltezungen. Dazu kann durch die Durchbrüche ein Stempel eingeführt und an die Unterseite der betreffenden Haltezungen angelegt werden, um zum Festpressen einen Gegendruck auszuüben.Particularly preferably, the retaining tongues are connected in the overlapping region by gluing at splices with the respective longitudinal cover strip. This allows a quick and secure connection, which can also be done by machine. Particularly preferably, the bottom plate has openings below the splices. These breakthroughs simplify, after the application of adhesive, the pressing of the retaining tongues. For this purpose, a punch can be inserted through the apertures and applied to the underside of the holding tabs in question to exert a counter-pressure for pressing.
Gemäss einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform weisen die Halterelemente und/oder die Längsdeckstreifen und/oder die Querdeckabschnitte Faltlinien auf, die Klemmabschnitte definieren. Diese Klemmabschnitte sind dazu bestimmt, beim Einführen eines im Behältnis aufzunehmenden Gegenstandes in Richtung zur Bodenebene B hin geneigt oder geknickt zu werden. Dadurch ergibt sich eine Klemmwirkung auf den eingeführten Gegenstand und ein ungewolltes Herausfallen wird verhindert. Zusätzlich ermöglichen solche Faltlinien auch die Aufnahme von Gegenständen unterschiedlicher Grösse und Form, da sich die Klemmabschnitte und der Grad der Neigung bzw. des Knickens an den jeweiligen Gegenstand anpasst. Dadurch wird eine Sichere Lagerung von Gegenständen unterschiedlicher Form und Grösse gewährleistet.According to a preferred embodiment, the holder elements and / or the longitudinal cover strips and / or the transverse cover sections have fold lines which define clamping sections. These clamping portions are intended to be inclined or kinked when inserting an object to be received in the container in the direction of the ground plane B. This results in a clamping effect on the imported object and accidental falling out is prevented. In addition, such folding lines also allow the inclusion of objects of different size and shape, since the clamping sections and the degree of inclination or the buckling adapts to the respective object. This ensures a safe storage of objects of different shape and size.
Gemäss einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform überlappen die Längsdeckstreifen jeweils in einem Eckbereich des Behältnisses mit den benachbarten Querdeckabschnitten. Dies ergibt eine zusätzliche Verseifung des Behältnisses.According to a preferred embodiment, the longitudinal cover strips each overlap in a corner region of the container with the adjacent transverse cover sections. This results in additional saponification of the container.
Vorzugsweise sind die Längsdeckstreifen im Eckbereich fest mit dem jeweiligen Querdeckabschnitt verbunden, beispielsweise durch Kleben oder Heften. Es sind auch andere kraft-, reib- oder stoffschlüssige Verbindungen möglich, wie beispielsweise stecken, nieten, Hochfrequenz-Verbindungen etc. Dadurch wird die Stabilität des erfindungsgemässen Behältnisses verbessert und insbesondere die Verwindungssteifigkeit weiter erhöht.Preferably, the longitudinal cover strip in the corner area are firmly connected to the respective transverse deck section, for example by gluing or stapling. There are also other non-positive, frictional or material connections possible, such as stuck, rivets, high-frequency connections, etc. This improves the stability of the container according to the invention and in particular further increases the torsional rigidity.
Besonders bevorzugt sind die Längsdeckstreifen im Eckbereich durch Kleben an Klebestellen mit den jeweiligen Querdeckabschnitten verbunden. Dies erlaubt eine rasche und sichere Verbindung, die auch maschinell bewerkstelligt werden kann. Besonders bevorzugt weist die Bodenplatte unterhalb der Klebestellen Durchbrüche auf. Diese Durchbrüche vereinfachen, nach dem Auftragen von Klebstoff, das Festpressen der Querdeckabschnitte. Dazu kann durch die Durchbrüche ein Stempel eingeführt und an die Unterseite der betreffenden Querdeckabschnitten angelegt werden, um zum Festpressen einen Gegendruck auszuüben.Particularly preferably, the longitudinal cover strips are connected in the corner region by gluing at splices with the respective transverse deck sections. This allows a quick and secure connection, which can also be done by machine. Particularly preferably, the bottom plate has openings below the splices. These breakthroughs simplify, after the application of adhesive, the pressing of the transverse deck sections. For this purpose, a punch can be introduced through the apertures and applied to the underside of the respective transverse deck sections in order to exert a counterpressure for the purpose of clamping.
Gemäss einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind die Ecken des Behältnisses abgeschrägt. Dies kann beispielsweise dadurch bewerkstelligt werden, dass die Längs- und Stirnseitenwände endständige Eckenabschnitte aufweisen, die über Eckenfaltlinien mit den jeweiligen Seitenwänden integral verbunden sind und die jeweils mit einem benachbarten Eckenabschnitt in Anlage gebracht und vorzugsweise fest miteinander verbunden werden. Zusätzlich kann auch die Bodenplatte entsprechende Eckbereiche aufweisen, die nach oben geklappt und mit den Eckenabschnitte der Seitenwände verbunden werden können.According to a preferred embodiment, the corners of the container are chamfered. This can be accomplished, for example, in that the longitudinal and end side walls have terminal corner portions which are integrally connected via Eckfaltlinien with the respective side walls and each brought into abutment with an adjacent corner portion and preferably be firmly connected to each other. In addition, the bottom plate can also have corresponding corner regions, which can be folded upwards and connected to the corner sections of the side walls.
Gemäss einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform weisen die Längs- und/oder die Stirnseitenwände zusätzlich nach oben vorstehende Stapelecken auf.According to a preferred embodiment, the longitudinal and / or the end side walls additionally upwardly projecting stacking corners.
Vorzugsweise besteht das Behältnis aus einem Zuschnitt aus Karton oder Pappe, insbesondere aus Wellkarton, Kunststoff-folie, Kunststoffplatte, Aluminiumfolie, Stärkefolie oder Holzfurnier. Besonders bevorzugt besteht es aus Wellkarton, wobei die Längsrichtung L des Behältnisses vorzugsweise der Längsrichtung der Wellen des Wellkartons entspricht.Preferably, the container consists of a blank of cardboard or paperboard, in particular of corrugated cardboard, plastic film, plastic sheet, aluminum foil, starch foil or wood veneer. It preferably consists of corrugated cardboard, wherein the longitudinal direction L of the container preferably corresponds to the longitudinal direction of the waves of the corrugated cardboard.
