Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a stand-up packaging for food products having at least one pouch for carrying a food product and an outer packaging at least partially sandwiching the at least one pouch.
  • a stand-up packaging for food products comprises at least one pouch for carrying a food product.
  • the stand-up packaging further comprises an outer packaging having two (i.e. a first and a second) cover elements at least partially sandwiching the at least one pouch.
  • the at least one pouch is penetrated by a through hole.
  • the two cover elements are glued to each other (i.e. directly glued to each other) via (i.e. through) the through hole.
  • the outer packaging or two cover elements can carry the at least one pouch.
  • the term "stand-up packaging” covers any kind of packages, which are by themselves and in particular by their design able to stand alone when being placed on a preferably flat ground e.g. doypack, gusseted bottom bag and flow wrap, preferably a doypack.
  • the term "food products” covers any kind of consumable products, particularly any kind of consumable products which are generally carried and sold in such stand-up packages.
  • the food products can have any consistency and may, for instance, be fluid, flowable, pasty, jellylike, powdered, solid and the like.
  • the term "pouch” can be any kind of preferably deformable or flexible packaging for carrying a food product; i.e. it is made of a food safe material.
  • it can be made of a sealable material to thus provide a closed and preferably hermetically sealed (e.g. air-tight) pocket for receiving the food product.
  • the term "outer packaging” covers all kind of packagings to carry and/or enclose pouches as described herein above.
  • the outer packaging is preferably made of cardboard or plastics. It is preferably imprinted to carry information with respect to the content (e.g. food product; meal) of the stand-up packaging, like pictures, texts (cooking recipe; ingredients; nutrition facts; etc.), barcodes and the like.
  • any kind of "glue” can be used which allows a direct gluing connection between the respective cover elements to be connected via (i.e. through) the through hole.
  • gluedtinctorial via the through hole is to be understood as “gluedtinct through the through hole”, i.e. that the glue extents through the through hole to thus directly connect the elements being positioned opposite with respect to the through hole.
  • glued to each other is to be understood as being “directly glued to each other", i.e. that the glued elements are directly glued and thus connected to one another by means of glue irrespective of the glue extending between these elements via (i.e. though) the through hole.
  • the at least one pouch may comprise a sealing region.
  • This sealing region is provided to close at least part of the at least one pouch to securely carry the food product within the pouch.
  • it is the sealing region which is penetrated with the through hole penetrating the at least one pouch, preferably in an upper portion of the pouch or sealing region.
  • the sealing region circumferentially surrounds the at least one pouch to form a pocket to carry the food product; preferably in a (hermetically) sealed manner. If the sealing region is penetrated with the through hole, the pocket is not affected by the through holes and - if hermetically sealed - remains sealed irrespective of the through holes penetrating the at least one pouch.
  • the outer packaging further comprises a third cover element being at least partially sandwiched between the at least one pouch and one of the two cover elements (in the following also referred to as "the one cover element").
  • the third cover element is penetrated by a through hole as well.
  • the through hole of the third cover element is provided in a region being sandwiched between the at least one pouch and the one cover element. This through hole may be aligned with the through hole(s) of the pouch(es).
  • the two cover elements can thus be glued to each other via the through holes either respectively or at once if the through holes are aligned with each other.
  • the stand-up packaging may comprise a plurality of pouches for carrying a food product, respectively.
  • the different pouches may carry different ingredients of a particular recipe/meal.
  • Each pouch can be penetrated by a through hole preferably in the sealing region, if present.
  • the two cover elements are then glued to each other via at least one and preferably via each of the through holes of the pouches (and of the third cover element, if present). It is thus possible to connect the two cover elements by being glued to each other via at least one of the through holes.
  • the two cover elements are glued to each other via at least one, a plurality or all of the through holes.
  • the through holes may be aligned to one another so that the glue extends through all of the through holes to connect the cover elements to each other.
  • the pouches are arranged such that they or their through holes are off set with respect to each other such that at least one of the through holes allows the two cover elements to be directly glued to each other via said through hole.
  • the other through holes might be arranged in a similar way and may thus also allow direct connection of the two cover elements by glue extending through the respective through holes. They may thus allow at least one of the two cover elements to be glued to the other cover element or - alternatively - to one of the pouches via at least one of these other through holes.
  • At least one of the through holes and preferably all of the through holes may comprise at least two or more distant through holes.
  • the number of distant through holes per pouch or third cover element is not limited by the present invention.
  • at least two distant through holes are preferred to allow for a secure fixation of the at least one pouch at at least two points thus reducing the effect of torque acting upon the glued fixing regions.
  • the distant through holes of at least two and preferably all of the through holes are aligned to each other, respectively. This allows for an easy connection of the pouches to the outer packaging and in particular a connection of the two cover elements to each other via the through holes preferably being aligned with one another. Through holes of the pouches and the sleeve can be taken as a centering element during production.
  • At least two and preferably all of the through holes can be aligned to each other. This only requires a small amount of glue for securely fixing the pouches and closing the outer packaging to obtain a completed stand-up packaging.
  • the shape of the through hole(s) is not limited.
  • the through hole and preferably each of the distant through holes can have a rounded or polygonal shape, like a circular, oval or square shape. These kinds of shapes can be easily manufactured.
  • At least one of the (e.g. first and second) cover elements may directly be glued to at least one of the (neighboring) at least one pouch and/or third cover element. This can preferably be obtained via at least one of the through holes.
  • glue can also be provided in a region other than regions being aligned with (some of) the through holes to also allow for a secure fixation of a corresponding cover element with the corresponding (neighboring) element preferably having a through hole (e.g. the neighboring pouch or third cover element).
  • the glue being used for the stand-up packaging can be provided as glue dots or a line of glue at least partially covering the through holes. "At least partially covering" means that the glue must at least partially extend over the corresponding through holes to allow the two cover elements being glued to each other via said through holes.
  • the glue can also cover regions surrounding or between the through holes to allow for neighbouring elements to be glued to each other directly to thus provide a firm connection of these elements of the outer packaging and/or the outer packaging and the corresponding pouches.
  • At least one of the cover elements has a gluing region and a flap region being divided by a weakened tear-opening region.
  • the tear-opening region is configured (in any desired manner) to allow separation of the gluing region and the flap region so that the flap region is released to allow access to the at least one pouch.
  • the weakened tear-opening region can thus be provided as weakened (e.g. thinned) material region in the respective cover element.
  • the weakened tear-opening region is removable to thus release the flap region to access the at least one pouch.
  • a simple opening means can be integrally provided with the stand-up packaging.
  • the outer packaging further comprises a flat base element for supporting the stand-up packaging.
  • the base element can be integrally formed with at least one of the cover elements and may further preferred cover bottom regions (e.g. bottom rim portions or edges) of the pouches.
  • the stand-up packaging thus provides a stable supporting region to carry the stand-up packaging, which preferably covers bottom regions of the pouches to protect the same.
  • the cover elements may be integrally provided with each other to form an outer packaging having any desired layout.
  • Preferred layouts of the outer packaging may be a U-shape, a loop-shape or a box-shape.
  • a U-shaped outer packaging can be obtained if the first and second cover elements are connected by a bending portion which extends over a lateral region (e.g. upper edge or rim portions) of the pouches.
  • a loop-shaped outer packaging may be obtained if the first and second cover elements are connected by a bending portion, preferably in an upper region of the outer packaging, as described for the U-shaped layout, and the second and third cover elements are connected to one another by a further bending portion, preferably in a bottom region of the outer packaging which extends over another lateral region (e.g. bottom edge or rim portions) of the pouches.
  • the first and third cover element overlap with one another, so that the third cover element is at least partially sandwiched between the (neighboring) pouch and the first cover element.
  • This sandwiched region of the third cover element may function as a gluing region having the through hole(s).
  • the bottom bending region connecting the second and third cover elements may be provided by or may comprise the base element of the outer packaging.
  • a box-shaped outer packaging may be obtained similar to the loop-shaped outer packaging but further comprising lateral cover elements, which may extend from one of the cover elements (e.g. the second or third cover elements) and are bent to extend to the opposite cover element (e.g. the other of the second or third cover elements) to which the lateral cover elements are preferably glued.
  • lateral cover elements may extend from one of the cover elements (e.g. the second or third cover elements) and are bent to extend to the opposite cover element (e.g. the other of the second or third cover elements) to which the lateral cover elements are preferably glued.
  • the outer packaging can have any possible shape as long as it allows preferably for its two outer cover elements to be glued to each other via through holes penetrating at least one of the at least one pouch being sandwiched by these cover elements.
  • the outer packaging and preferably at least one of the cover elements may comprise a cut-out region to expose at least one of the pouches.
  • this cut-out region may function as an inspection window.
  • the cut-out region is provided such that all of the contained pouches are visible through said cut-out region. Therefore, the pouches can have different lengths or can be provided in an offset manner, accordingly.
  • the pouches may be made of any food safe material suitable to carry food products.
  • the pouches may be made of plastics. They are preferably at least partially and more preferred circumferentially sealed by the mentioned sealing region to thus (hermetically) seal the carried food products.
  • the pouches are made of a deformable or flexible material. They can also be made of a transparent material so that the content can be easily inspected by a user.
  • the outer packaging can be made of any material used for outer packagings for food products. In a most preferred embodiment, the outer packaging is made of cardboard or plastics.
  • Food products can be any consumable products in any given state like a fluid, flowable, pasty, jellylike, powdered or solid state.
  • the stand-up packaging 1 comprises at least one or more pouches 2 for carrying a food product.
  • These pouches 2 can, for instance, be made of a food safe material, preferably plastics. They can have any desired flexibility and tear strength commonly provided for such pouches 2.
  • the pouches 2 are preferably made of a transparent material so that the user can inspect the contents thereof.
  • the pouches 2 may have a sealing region 20.
  • the sealing region 20 may circumferentially surround the pouch 2 to form a pocket 21 to preferably sealingly carry the food product.
  • the stand-up packaging 1 further comprises an outer packaging 3 having two cover elements 31, 32 (here a first cover element 31 and a second cover element 32) at least partially sandwiching the pouch 2.
  • the outer packaging 3 can be made of any material commonly used for outer packagings, like cardboard or plastics.
  • the outer packaging 3 may carry an imprint to provide information about the stand-up packaging 1 and its content.
  • the outer packaging 3 further comprises a third cover element 33 being at least partially sandwiched between the pouch 2 and one of the two cover elements (here the first cover element 31).
  • the cover elements 31, 32, 33 can be integrally provided with each other to form the outer packaging 3.
  • the two cover elements 31, 32 are integrally provided with each other to form a U-shaped outer packaging 3.
  • Figure 1 , 4 and 6 show embodiments in which the three mentioned cover elements 31, 32, 33 are preferably integrally provided with each other to form a loop-shaped outer packaging 3.
  • the overlapping regions can be secured to each other to provide a closed loop-shaped outer packaging 3 securely surrounding the pouches 2.
  • the embodiment of figure 3 shows a further layout of the outer packaging 3 having a box-shape.
  • This can, for instance, be obtained by the outer packaging 3 having the three mentioned cover elements 31, 32, 33 and further having lateral cover elements 34 to at least partially cover the lateral sides of the stand-up packaging 1 to thus provide a stable stand-up packaging 1 securely housing the pouches 2.
  • these cover elements 31 to 34 are all integrally formed.
  • the outer packaging 3 further comprises a flat base element 35 for supporting the stand-up packaging 1.
  • This base element 35 may also be integrally formed with at least one and preferably all of the cover elements (here with all of the other cover elements 31 to 34).
  • the base element 35 preferably covers bottom regions of the pouches 2.
  • the cover elements 31 to 35 can be connected by bending regions 37 for facilitating folding of the outer packaging 3 into its final shape to obtain the stand-up packaging 1.
  • the bending region 37 connecting the base element 35 with the neighbouring cover elements 32, 33 may comprise contoured cut-out regions 38 which are outwardly exposed in the folded state of the outer packaging 3 constituting supporting feet 39 of the stand-up packaging 1 (see figure 6 ).
  • the pouch 2 or the pouches 2 is/are penetrated by through hole(s) 22, respectively.
  • the through hole 22 can have any shape, e.g. a rounded or polygonal shape. In the shown embodiment of figures 4 , 6 and 7 , the through hole 22 has an oval shape. However, the shape can also be circular or can be square or of any other shape.
  • the two cover elements i.e. the first cover element 31 and the second cover element 32
