Definitions

  • the invention relates to packaging for packaging bottles or cans.
  • Such packaging as plastic packaging with a handle, in particular as so-called six-packs for water bottles, is known from the prior art through prior public use.
  • the carrying handle has a paper insert.
  • the paper insert is firmly connected to the carrying handle, so that the paper insert does not become detached from the carrying handle during use, in particular while the packaging is being carried by the carrying handle.
  • a recycling of the packaging requires that this paper insert is removed. If at all, this is only possible with complex separation processes.
  • the EP 0 178 142 A1 discloses packaging for a bottle pack with a plastic outer packaging and a carrying handle.
  • the JP 2008 260 553 A discloses a carrying handle for a stack of packaged foods.
  • the U.S. 2007/0215504 A1 discloses packaging for a can bundle with an outer packaging and reinforced carrying handles.
  • the DE 1 557 397 A discloses a carrier for carrying objects.
  • the EP 2 586 608 A1 discloses a handle device for product packaging.
  • the EP 3 056 446 A1 discloses a package according to the preamble of independent claim 1.
  • One object of the present invention is to provide recyclable packaging of the type mentioned at the outset.
  • the packaging according to the invention consists exclusively of recyclable plastics. This eliminates the need to remove a paper insert. The costs are reduced.
  • a plastic composition, a so-called blend, is also to be understood as plastic.
  • the recycled plastic regenerate, i.e. a reusable raw material produced when the packaging is recycled, for a new product is of higher quality. It is ensured that only plastic components are recycled when the packaging is recycled. The plastic can be recycled more often. The environment and raw materials are protected.
  • the packaging components can consist of a multi-layer composite film.
  • One or more layers of the composite film can consist of one or more recyclable plastics or recyclable plastic compositions.
  • the outer packaging consists of a heat-shrinkable, recyclable plastic such as polyethylene (PE).
  • the carrying handle can be made of a recyclable plastic such as expanded polypropylene (PP).
  • PP polypropylene
  • the handle can also be made of polyethylene (PE).
  • the carrying handle additional component consists of a printable, recyclable plastic such as polyethylene (PE).
  • PE polyethylene
  • a printable film is advantageously provided as the starting material for the additional carrying handle component; these are also known as lettering films or label films.
  • PE polyethylene
  • the plastic composition of the packaging components can contain renewable raw materials.
  • plastics are also referred to as bio-plastics.
  • these include cellulose acetate, bio-based polyethylene (Bio-PE) and bio-based polypropylene (Bio-PP).
  • the carrying handle additional component has an imprint, which can be in the form of a barcode, brand, label, trade name, PLU number or the like. A combination of these is also possible.
  • the outer packaging has a film thickness from 20 ⁇ m, in particular from 25 ⁇ m.
  • the thickness of the film depends on the weight of the bottles or cans to be packed.
  • the foil can have a foil thickness between 20 ⁇ m and 65 ⁇ m.
  • the cans or bottles to be packaged, in particular PET bottles can have a capacity of 0.25 l, 0.33 l, 0.5 l, 1.0 l, 1.5 l or 2.5 l.
  • a film thickness of 25 ⁇ m or more is particularly advantageous for packaging with 6 x 1.5 l bottles.
  • a film thickness of 20 ⁇ m or more is particularly advantageous for packaging with 6 x 0.5 l cans or bottles.
  • the additional carrying handle component is attached to the carrying handle as an additional plastic layer. This is particularly advantageous in the case of bottles or cans to be packaged with a high total weight, in particular over 6 kg.
  • the handle can be made of a durable plastic. This reduces the risk of the carrying handle tearing when carrying.
  • the additional carrying handle component is attached to the side facing away from the outer packaging. This is a structurally simple and inexpensive connection provided.
  • the adhesive strip in sections is advantageously provided by applying an adhesive layer consisting of an adhesive in sections to the carrying handle. As a result, the carrying handle can be glued to the outer packaging and/or the carrying handle additional component can be glued to the carrying handle.
  • a particularly advantageous packaging is provided with the packaging, in which the carrying handle additional component is less stressed. This minimizes the risk of distorting the print on the carry handle accessory. The print remains legible.
  • the carrying handle additional component can be attached to the carrying handle on the side facing the outer packaging and on the side facing away from the outer packaging. This enables the carrying handle additional component to be printed with several imprints.
  • the adhesive is a bio-adhesive that is washable and may be biodegradable. This further improves the environmental compatibility. Good washability of the adhesive ensures that the adhesive can be removed almost completely. This further improves the plastic regrind.
  • the adhesive consists of renewable or recyclable raw materials.
  • a packaging according to claim 3 provides a structurally simple and cost-effective connection of the components of the packaging.
  • the adhesive layer is applied to the carrying handle on the side facing away from the outer packaging and/or on the side facing the outer packaging.
  • a particularly stable carrying handle is provided. The risk of the carrying handle detaching from the outer packaging is minimized.
  • the carrying handle is advantageously designed as a continuous plastic strip.
  • the carrying handle is welded to the outer packaging.
  • adhesive in particular a bio-adhesive
  • a carrying handle additional component is provided with a particularly advantageous plastic.
  • a carrying handle additional component with a paper-like feel can preferably be provided.
  • the consumer is used to the feel and/or look of paper.
  • the carrying handle additional component consists of a multi-layer plastic film composite.
  • a plastic film composite can have a paper character, ie a paper-like feel.
  • the packaging 1 shows a package 1 with a total of six beverage bottles 2 are packaged, which are arranged in two rows of three beverage bottles 2 each.
  • the packaging 1 consists of several components, namely an outer packaging 3 and a carrying handle 4 with a carrying handle additional component 5. All components are made of a recyclable plastic or a recyclable plastic composition.
  • the outer packaging 3 consists of a heat-shrinkable, recyclable plastic.
  • the outer packaging 3 is shrunk onto the drinks bottles 2 for partial outer packaging, with an opening 6 being present on the sides with two drinks bottles 2 each.
  • the carrying handle 4 is attached to the outer packaging 3 by means of two adhesive sections 7 .
  • the carrying handle 4 is glued in the area on the sides with three beverage bottles 2 in the middle in the area of the middle beverage bottle 2 .
  • the carrying handle 4 is attached in such a way that a free space is created between the outer packaging 3 and the carrying handle 4 so that the carrying handle 4 can be gripped.
  • the outer packaging 3 has a film thickness from 25 ⁇ m.
  • the carrying handle 4 is designed in the form of a rectangular plastic strip.
  • a stretched polypropylene is advantageously used as the plastic.
