Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Sammelverpackung zur Aufnahme von mit Tiefkühlwaren befüllten Einzelverpackungen.The invention relates to a multi-pack for accommodating individual packs filled with frozen goods.

Sammelverpackungen auch Umverpackungen genannt, zeichnen sich dabei dadurch aus, dass diese auch zum Transport der Einzelverpackungen verwendet werden. Alternativ kann auch eine Vielzahl von Einzelverpackungen mit Schrumpffolie umpackt werden. Eine solche Folie ist aber eher schwer zu öffnen und bedingt den Einsatz von Plastik.Collective packaging, also called outer packaging, is characterized by the fact that it is also used to transport the individual packaging. Alternatively, a large number of individual packages can be wrapped in shrink film. However, such a film is rather difficult to open and requires the use of plastic.

Sammelverpackungen wurden bisher lediglich dafür verwendet um die darin enthaltenen mit bestimmten Waren, z. B. Tiefkühlwaren, befüllten Einzelverpackungen geschützt zu transportieren, zum Beispiel von dem Hersteller der Waren zu einem Logistikzentrum oder weiter in den Einzelhandelsverkauf. An einem Verkaufsort der Waren wird die Sammelverpackung geöffnet und darin enthaltenen Einzelverpackungen aus dieser Sammelverpackung entnommen und auf einer Ausstellungsfläche, zum Beispiel in einer Tiefkühltruhe, arrangiert ausgelegt. Bekannt ist es auch, Sammelverpackungen mit Kühlware oder ungekühlter Ware zu füllen und aufgerissen im Kühlregal oder anderweitig zur Entnahme der Einzelverpackungen zu positionieren. In der Tiefkühllogistik wird die Sammelverpackung jedoch nicht weiter zur Präsentation verwendet und stattdessen entsorgt. Zur Positionierung der Ware werden nach der Entnahme andere Mittel, wie Gitter in der Tiefkühltruhe verwendet.Collective packaging has so far only been used to store the goods contained therein, e.g. B. frozen goods, filled individual packaging protected to transport, for example, from the manufacturer of the goods to a logistics center or on to retail sales. At a point of sale of the goods, the collective packaging is opened and the individual packaging contained therein is removed from this collective packaging and laid out in an arranged manner on an exhibition area, for example in a freezer. It is also known to fill multipacks with refrigerated goods or non-chilled goods and to position them open in the refrigerated section or elsewhere so that the individual packages can be removed. In deep-freeze logistics, however, the collective packaging is no longer used for presentation and is disposed of instead. Other means, such as grids in the freezer, are used to position the goods after removal.

Auch ist es bisher nicht bekannt, Sammelverpackungen so zu konstruieren, dass sie bei ansprechender Position zur praktikablen Ausstellung der Einzelverpackungen in Regalen und Truhen verwendet werden können.It is also not known to date to construct multipacks in such a way that they can be used in an attractive position for the practical display of the individual packs on shelves and chests.

Bei der Präsentation der Waren z. B. im Einzelhandel ist es von besonderem Vorteil, wenn die Einzelverpackung mit einer besonders gekennzeichneten Frontseite, auf welcher insbesondere das Produkt, der Produktname, der Hersteller und/oder die Marke der Ware abgebildet ist, für den potenziellen Kunden sichtbar aufgestellt ist. Demnach muss die Einzelverpackung aus der Sammelverpackung je nach Ausstellungsfläche unterschiedlich aufgestellt werden, da es möglich ist, dass bei einer Ausstellungsfläche, zum Beispiel am Boden (Tiefkühltruhe), der Kunde von oben also in etwa vertikal auf die Einzelverpackung blickt, bei einer anderen Ausstellungsfläche, z. B. in einem Regal (Tiefkühlregal), seitlich in etwa horizontal auf die Einzelverpackung blickt. In der WO 2015/143168 A1 wird eine Sammelverpackung für Einzelverpackungen offenbart, deren Hülle, aus Karton bestehend, mindestens zwei mit jeweils einer Perforation definierte Bereiche auf einer Oberfläche der Hülle aufweist, wobei sich diese jeweils über zwei der sechs Seiten der Hülle erstrecken.When presenting the goods z. B. in retail, it is of particular advantage if the individual packaging with a specially marked front, on which in particular the product, the product name, the manufacturer and / or the brand of the goods is shown, is visible to potential customers. Accordingly, the individual packaging from the collective packaging must be set up differently depending on the exhibition area, since it is possible that in one exhibition area, for example on the floor (freezer), the customer looks down on the individual packaging from above, i.e. approximately vertically, in another exhibition area, e.g. B. on a shelf (freezer shelf), laterally approximately horizontally looking at the individual packaging. In the WO 2015/143168 A1 discloses a collective packaging for individual packages, the casing of which consists of cardboard and has at least two areas defined by a perforation on one surface of the casing, each of which extends over two of the six sides of the casing.

Zudem weisen nicht alle Einzelverpackungen eine geeignete Fläche auf, mit welcher die Einzelverpackung auf einen Untergrund so sicher aufgestellt werden kann, dass die Frontseite der Einzelverpackungen in Blickrichtung des Kunden aufgestellt werden kann, insbesondere wahlweise bei Blickrichtung von oben nach unten (in eine Truhe) oder horizontal oder leicht schräg nach unten oder oben in ein Regal. Hier bedarf es bisher weiterer Hilfen, zum Beispiel Gitter, die zurzeit in der Ausstellungsfläche, beispielsweise Tiefkühltruhe, angeordnet sind. Die bekannten Hilfen sind aber in Bezug auf die Positionierung der Einzelverpackungen meist entweder sehr aufwendig oder können die genaue Positionierung nicht sicherstellen.In addition, not all individual packaging has a suitable surface with which the individual packaging can be placed on a base so securely that the front of the individual packaging can be placed in the customer's line of sight, in particular when the line of sight is from top to bottom (into a chest) or horizontally or slightly inclined downwards or upwards on a shelf. So far, further aids have been required here, for example grilles, which are currently arranged in the exhibition area, for example a deep freeze. However, the known aids are usually either very complex in relation to the positioning of the individual packages or cannot ensure precise positioning.

Bezüglich Küchenrollen und Toilettenpapier, also zur Entnahme stauchbarer zylindrisch ausgeformten Papierwaren, wurde in der EP 1 604 904 A1 angeregt eine bekannte Sammelverpackung derart zu verändern, dass auf dieser zwei separate und voneinander getrennte Perforationen angeordnet sind, wobei durch diese Perforationen jeweils eine Öffnung in der Sammelverpackung aufreißbar ist, durch welche eine Küchenrolle oder ein Toilettenpapier herausnehmbar ist. Diese Sammelverpackung soll daher nach Transport der Ware lediglich an einer der Perforationen abhängig von der Ausstellungsfläche geöffnet werden, so dass die Ware einfacher der Sammelverpackung zu entnehmen ist.Regarding kitchen rolls and toilet paper, ie for removing compressible cylindrically shaped paper goods, was in the EP 1 604 904 A1 suggested to change a known collective packaging in such a way that two separate and separate perforations are arranged on this, whereby an opening in the collective packaging can be torn open through these perforations, through which a kitchen roll or toilet paper can be removed. After the goods have been transported, this collective packaging should therefore only be opened at one of the perforations, depending on the exhibition area, so that the goods can be removed more easily from the collective packaging.

Nachteilig ist dabei, dass diese nicht geeignet sind, die in der Sammelverpackung aufgenommenen Einzelverpackungen mittels der Sammelverpackung für mehrere Ausstellungsflächen dem Kunden optisch ansprechend und zur einfachen Entnahme auch bei vergleichsweise leererer Sammelverpackung zu arrangieren.The disadvantage here is that they are not suitable for using the collective packaging to store the individual packaging contained in the collective packaging for several To arrange exhibition areas in a way that is visually appealing to the customer and for easy removal even if the collective packaging is comparatively empty.

Aufgabe dieser Erfindung ist es die oben genannten Nachteile zu beheben.The object of this invention is to remedy the disadvantages mentioned above.

Gelöst wird die Aufgabe durch eine Sammelverpackung nach Anspruch 1 sowie durch eine mit einer Vielzahl mit Tiefkühlwaren befüllter Einzelverpackungen befüllte Sammelverpackung gemäß Anspruch 14.The object is achieved by a collective packaging according to claim 1 and by a collective packaging filled with a large number of individual packages filled with frozen goods according to claim 14.

Eine Sammelverpackung, welche von mit Tiefkühlwaren befüllte Einzelverpackungen, insbesondere Schlauchverpackungen und/oder Kartonagen, aufnehmen kann, weist eine Hülle auf, welche eine Aufnahme, insbesondere für die Einzelverpackungen, ausbildet und aus Papier und/oder Karton und/oder Kunststoff besteht. Beispielsweise besteht die Sammelverpackung aus der die Aufnahme bildenden Hülle, wobei insbesondere die Hülle das Volumen der Aufnahme nicht notwendigerweise vollständig umschließt, und insbesondere kein separater Deckel ein Teil der Sammelverpackung ist. Insbesondere ist die Sammelverpackung aber, im nicht aufgerissenen Zustand, vollständig oder zumindest zu 90% verschlossen. Die Hülle weist auf deren Oberfläche mindestens zwei Bereiche auf, wobei jeder Bereich durch eine Perforation definiert und/oder abgegrenzt wird. Dabei wird insbesondere jeder der Bereiche durch eine eigene Perforation definiert und/oder abgegrenzt. Insbesondere wird ein Bereich durch eine Perforation von der übrigen Oberfläche der Hülle und/oder von der übrigen Hülle abgegrenzt.Collective packaging, which can hold individual packaging filled with frozen goods, in particular tubular packaging and/or cardboard boxes, has a sleeve which forms a holder, in particular for the individual packaging, and is made of paper and/or cardboard and/or plastic. For example, the collective packaging consists of the sleeve forming the receptacle, with the sleeve in particular not necessarily completely enclosing the volume of the receptacle, and in particular no separate lid being part of the collective packaging. In particular, however, the collective packaging is completely or at least 90% closed when it has not been torn open. The sleeve has at least two areas on its surface, each area being defined and/or delimited by a perforation. In particular, each of the areas is defined and/or delimited by its own perforation. In particular, one area is delimited by a perforation from the rest of the surface of the cover and/or from the rest of the cover.

Die Sammelverpackung ist eingerichtet, die Bereiche durch Reißen entlang der Perforation von der Sammelverpackung, insbesondere der übrigen Oberfläche der Hülle und/oder übrigen Oberfläche, zu trennen. Insbesondere erfolgt das Reißen entlang der Perforation und/oder werden die Bereiche entlang der Perforation von der Sammelverpackung getrennt.The collective packaging is set up to separate the areas from the collective packaging, in particular the remaining surface of the casing and/or the remaining surface, by tearing along the perforation. In particular, the tearing takes place along the perforation and/or the areas along the perforation are separated from the collective packaging.

Die Sammelverpackung zeichnet sich erfindungsgemäß dadurch aus, dass ein erster Bereich zumindest teilweise mit einem zweiten Bereich überlappt und der erste Bereich nicht identisch dem zweiten Bereich ist.According to the invention, the collective packaging is characterized in that a first area at least partially overlaps with a second area and the first area is not identical to the second area.

Zusätzlich oder alternativ zeichnet sich die Sammelverpackung erfindungsgemäß dadurch aus, dass mindestens zwei Perforationen, insbesondere auf der Hülle, so angeordnet sind, dass die dadurch definierten und/oder abgegrenzten mindestens zwei Bereiche beide geeignet sind, zumindest auch an und/oder an einer ersten Oberfläche und/oder Seite einer in der Sammelverpackung aufgenommen, insbesondere obersten und/oder ersten, Einzelverpackung anzugrenzen, insbesondere anzuliegen, wobei die erste Oberfläche und/oder Seite insbesondere die oder eine der größten Oberflächen und/oder Seiten der Einzelverpackung und/oder die Frontseite der Einzelverpackung ist und/oder das Angrenzen ein flächiges Anliegen ist und/oder das die Eignung zum Angrenzen über mindestens 80% der ersten Oberfläche und/oder Seite der Einzelverpackung ist.Additionally or alternatively, the collective packaging is characterized according to the invention in that at least two perforations, in particular on the cover, are arranged in such a way that the at least two areas defined and/or delimited by them are both suitable, at least also on and/or on a first surface and/or side of an individual packaging contained in the collective packaging, in particular the uppermost and/or first, to adjoin, in particular to abut, with the first surface and/or side in particular the or one of the largest surfaces and/or sides of the individual packaging and/or the front side of the is individual packaging and/or the abutment is an areal concern and/or the suitability for abutment is at least 80% of the first surface and/or side of the individual packaging.

Aufgrund eines dieser erfindungswesentlichen Merkmale wird gewährleistet, dass die Sammelverpackung als schützende Transportverpackung der Einzelverpackungen verwendet werden kann und zugleich mittels der Perforation mindestens zwei Bereiche auf der Sammelverpackung eingerichtet sind, so dass die in der Sammelverpackung aufgenommenen Einzelverpackungen durch zumindest eine der zwei, insbesondere wenn diese durch Reißen entlang einer Perforation entfernt wurde, Bereiche in zumindest zwei verschiedenen Aufstellungsanordnungen der Sammelverpackung entnehmbar und jeweils die gleiche Seite der Einzelverpackungen, insbesondere prominent, sichtbar ist. Dabei können neben dieser einen Seite auch weitere Seiten der Einzelverpackung ganz oder teilweise sichtbar sein und kann sich und/oder wird sich insbesondere die Auswahl dieser weiteren Seiten abhängig von der Wahl des aufgerissenen und/oder aufzureißenden Bereichs unterscheiden.Due to one of these features that are essential to the invention, it is ensured that the collective packaging can be used as protective transport packaging for the individual packaging and at the same time at least two areas are set up on the collective packaging by means of the perforation, so that the individual packaging contained in the collective packaging can be separated by at least one of the two, especially if this was removed by tearing along a perforation, areas can be removed in at least two different configurations of the collective packaging and the same side of the individual packaging is visible, in particular prominently. In addition to this one side, other sides of the individual packaging can also be fully or partially visible and the selection of these other sides can and/or will differ depending on the selection of the area torn open and/or to be torn open.

Insbesondere sind die Einzelverpackungen gleichartig, beispielsweise nebeneinander und/oder hintereinander und/oder übereinander und/oder untereinander in die Sammelverpackung aufgenommen und/oder alle in einer Sammelverpackung aufgenommenen Einzelverpackung so aufgenommen, dass die gleiche Außenseite und/oder deren Flächennormale aller Einzelverpackungen in die selbe eine Raumrichtung der Sammelverpackung orientiert ist.In particular, the individual packaging is of the same type, for example next to one another and/or one behind the other and/or one above the other and/or below one another in the collective packaging and/or all the individual packaging contained in a collective packaging are incorporated in such a way that the same outside and/or their surface normals of all individual packaging are in the same a spatial direction of the collective packaging is oriented.

In Fig. 1 ist ein bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel eines Zuschnitts für eine erfindungsgemäße Sammelverpackung. Dabei sind insgesamt zwölf einzelne miteinander verbundene jeweils eine Außenseite und/oder Außenfläche der Sammelverpackung und/oder der Hülle ausbildende Flächen dargestellt, wobei in der obersten Zeile die zweite und vierte Fläche von links eine Außenseite, nämlich in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel die erste Stirnseite, in der mittleren Zeile die zweite und vierte Fläche von rechts jeweils eine Außenseite, nämlich in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel die erste und zweite Seitenwand, in der mittleren Zeile die erste und zweite Fläche von Rechts jeweils eine Außenseite, nämlich in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel respektive die Unterseite und Oberseite, und in der untersten Zeile die zweite und vierte Fläche von links eine Außenseite, nämlich insbesondere die zweite Stirnseite, darstellt. Die erste und dritte Fläche von links in der untersten Zeile stellen eine erste und zweite Seitenlasche dar. Die erste und dritte Fläche von links in der obersten Zeile stellen eine dritte und vierte Seitenlasche dar. Die Seitenlaschen werden mit Außenseiten dauerhaft verbunden, mit Vorzug verklebt. Hierfür werden die Seitenlaschen unter die Außenseiten gefaltet, sodass die Außenseiten die Seitenlasche zumindest teilweise überdeckt. In dem Ausführungsbeispiel werden die erste und zweite Seitenlasche unter die zweite Stirnseite und die dritte und vierte Seitenlasche unter die erste Stirnseite geklappt. Die Seitenlaschen sind vorteilhafterweise mit den Außenseiten derart verbunden, dass dadurch die Hülle zusammengehalten wird. Weiterhin ist vorteilhafterweise eine Angriffslasche oder -öffnung 3 an einer der Ober- und Unterseiten in und/oder einem der Bereiche angeordnet. In dem Ausführungsbeispiel ist dies bezüglich der Ober- und Unterseite und bezüglich beider Bereiche der Fall. In der Figur ist die Angriffslasche oder -öffnung 3 als kleine Fläche 3 auf der ersten und dritten Fläche von rechts in der mittleren Zeile dargestellt).In 1 is a preferred embodiment of a blank for a collective packaging according to the invention. A total of twelve individual surfaces that are connected to one another and each form an outer side and/or outer surface of the collective packaging and/or the casing are shown, with the second and fourth surfaces from the left in the top line being an outer side, namely the first end face in this exemplary embodiment middle line, the second and fourth surface from the right, each an outside, namely in this embodiment the first and second side wall, in the middle line the first and second surface from the right, each an outside, namely in this embodiment respectively the bottom and top, and in the bottom line, the second and fourth surface from the left represents an outside, namely in particular the second end face. The first and third areas from the left in the bottom row represent a first and second side flap. The first and third areas from the left in the top row represent a third and fourth side flap. The side flaps are permanently connected to the outside, preferably glued. For this purpose, the side flaps are folded under the outsides so that the outsides at least partially cover the side flaps. In the exemplary embodiment, the first and second side flaps are folded under the second end and the third and fourth side flaps are folded under the first end. The side flaps are advantageously connected to the outer sides in such a way that the cover is thereby held together. Furthermore, an attack tab or opening 3 is advantageously arranged on one of the top and bottom sides in and/or one of the areas. In the exemplary embodiment, this is the case with regard to the top and bottom and with regard to both areas. In the figure, the attack tab or opening 3 is shown as a small area 3 on the first and third areas from the right in the middle row).

In dem Ausführungsbeispiel wie in der Figur 1 dargestellt ist eine Seitenwandlasche durch die erste Fläche von links in der mittleren Zeile dargestellt. Diese grenzt an die zweite Seitenwand an. Bei Faltung der Sammelverpackung wird die Seitenwandlasche unter die Unterseite geklappt und damit fest verbunden, insbesondere verklebt.In the embodiment as in the figure 1 illustrated is a side panel flap represented by the first panel from the left in the middle row. This adjoins the second side wall. When the collective packaging is folded, the side wall flap is folded under the underside and is firmly connected to it, in particular glued.

Zwecks eines besseren und stärkeren (Zusammen-)Halts der Hülle sind die Seitenlaschen und/oder die Seitenwandlasche vorteilhafterweise mit der jeweiligen verbundenen Außenseite verklebt oder anderweitig mit dieser zumindest kraftschlüssig verbunden.For the purpose of a better and stronger hold (together) of the casing, the side flaps and/or the side wall flap are advantageously glued to the respective connected outside or otherwise connected to it at least in a non-positive manner.

Auf der Oberseite der Hülle beginnend ist ein erster Bereich durch eine Perforation des ersten Bereichs 1 abgetrennt angeordnet, wobei sich diese Perforation 1 über die beiden Seitenwände bis hin zur zweiten Stirnseite erstreckt. Auf der Oberseite ist an einem Ende dieser Perforation 1 eine Angriffslasche 3 angeordnet, mithilfe dieser die Perforation gegriffen und daraufhin entlang der Perforation aufgerissen werden kann. Vorteilhafterweise ist in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel die Perforation 1 auf der zweiten Stirnseite nur teilweise ausgeführt, da die Kante des kurzen (geringe Höhe, wobei Höhe von unten nach oben in der Figur 1 dargestellt ist) Teils der zweiten Stirnseite (in Figur 1 die vierte Fläche von links in der untersten Zeile) die Begrenzung des ersten Bereichs auf der zweiten Stirnseite darstellt. Somit bedarf es nur einer Perforation auf den Seitenwänden, Seitenlaschen und der Oberseite, um den ersten Bereich vollständig abtrennen zu können. Weiterhin ist ebenso die Perforation 1 auch im Bereich der Angriffslasche angeordnet, aber aufgrund der Darstellung der Lasche in Figur 1 nicht dargestellt. Sofern eine Angriffsöffnung verwendet wird, ist die Perforation nicht umlaufend um den Bereich notwendig, da im Bereich der Angriffsöffnung bereits eine Trennung durch die Angriffsöffnung verwirklich werden kann. Die Perforation 1 erstreckt sich somit auf der Oberseite im Bereich der Lasche entlang der hinteren oder oberen Kante der Oberseite.Beginning on the upper side of the casing, a first area is arranged separated by a perforation of the first area 1, with this perforation 1 extending over the two side walls up to the second end face. On the top, at one end of this perforation 1, there is a gripping tab 3, with the help of which the perforation can be gripped and then torn open along the perforation. Advantageously, in this embodiment, the perforation 1 is only partially executed on the second end face, since the edge of the short (low height, height from bottom to top in the figure 1 shown) part of the second face (in figure 1 the fourth area from the left in the bottom line) represents the boundary of the first area on the second end face. This means that only one perforation is required on the side walls, side flaps and the top to be able to completely separate the first area. Furthermore, the perforation 1 is also arranged in the area of the attack flap, but due to the representation of the flap in figure 1 not shown. If an access opening is used, the perforation is not necessary around the area, since a separation can already be realized in the area of the access opening through the access opening. The perforation 1 thus extends on the top in the area of the tab along the rear or upper edge of the top.

Aufgrund der Überlappung/Überdeckung/Verbindung der erste und zweite Seitenlasche mit der zweiten Stirnseite) und der Anordnung des ersten Bereichs auf der Oberseite, ersten Seitenwand, zweiten Seitenwand und zweiten Stirnseite in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ist weiterhin vorteilhafterweise eine Perforation 1 des ersten Bereichs auf der ersten und zweiten Seitenlasche angeordnet, sodass der erste Bereich sowohl durch eine Perforation 1 auf den Außenseiten (Oberseite, erste und zweite Seitenwand und gegebenenfalls zweiten Stirnseite) als auch einer Perforation 1 auf der ersten und zweiten Seitenlasche abgegrenzt und definiert ist, da diese im Zusammengebauten zustand ansonsten das Abtrennen behindern würden. Hierfür ist die Perforation 1 auf der ersten und zweiten Seitenlasche respektive deckungsgleich mit der darüber befindlichen Perforation 1 der überlappenden zweiten Stirnseite in einem zusammengebauten Zustand der Sammelverpackung. Wenn die erste und/oder zweite Seitenlasche eine Länge (Erstreckung von links nach rechts in Figur 1) aufweist, die größer ist als die Höhe (Erstreckung von oben nach unten in der Figur 1) der zweiten Stirnseite, ist es zudem notwendig, dass die Perforation 1 sich auf der ersten und/oder zweiten Seitenlasche auch dort erstreckt, wo die zweite Stirnseite aufgrund der zu kurzen Höhe die Seitenlasche(n) nicht überdeckt/überlappt. So kann eine umlaufende Perforation 1 im zusammengebauten Zustand realisiert werden.Due to the overlapping/covering/connection of the first and second side flaps with the second end face) and the arrangement of the first area on the top side, first side wall, second side wall and second end face in this exemplary embodiment, a perforation 1 of the first area arranged on the first and second side flap, so that the first area is delimited and defined both by a perforation 1 on the outer sides (top side, first and second side wall and optionally second end face) and a perforation 1 on the first and second side flap, since these would otherwise impede the separation in the assembled state. For this purpose, the perforation 1 on the first and second side flap is congruent with the perforation 1 located above it on the overlapping second end face in an assembled state of the collective packaging. If the first and/or second side flap has a length (extension from left to right in figure 1 ) that is greater than the height (extension from top to bottom in the figure 1 ) of the second face, it is also necessary that the perforation 1 also extends on the first and/or second side flap where the second face does not cover/overlap the side flap(s) due to the too short height. In this way, a circumferential perforation 1 can be realized in the assembled state.

Ein zweiter Bereich, der von dem ersten Bereich zumindest teilweise umschlossen ist, wird durch eine zweite Perforation 2 abgegrenzt. Diese Perforation erstreckt sich von der Oberseite über die zweite Stirnseite bis hin zur Unterseite der Hülle. Auf der Unterseite ist die Angriffslasche 3 für den zweiten Bereich an der Perforation 2 angeordnet.A second area, which is at least partially surrounded by the first area, is delimited by a second perforation 2 . This perforation extends from the top over the second face to the bottom of the case. The gripping tab 3 for the second area is arranged on the perforation 2 on the underside.

In Bezug auf den zweiten Bereich und die zweite Perforation ist es, wie in der Figur 1 und 2 gezeigt, vorteilhaft, wenn die Seitenlaschen mittels ihrer Verklebung mit den Teilen der zweiten Stirnseite eine Brücke und/oder Verbindung zwischen den Teilen der zweiten Stirnseite bilden und dadurch ermöglichen, dass beim Ansetzten an der Angriffslasche 3 des zweiten Bereichs und Aufreißen entlang der zweiten Perforation 2 von der Unterseite aus über den unteren Teil der zweiten Stirnseite über die Verbindung der Seitenlaschen auf den zweiten Teil der zweiten Stirnseite und auf die Oberseite entlang der insbesondere durchgehenden und/oder umlaufenden Perforation der gesamte zweite Bereich in einem Arbeitsgang und einem Ansatz einstückig abgetrennt werden kann. Dazu weisen die Seitenlaschen insbesondere Perforationen auf, die im zusammengebauten Zustand der Sammelverpackung sich zwischen den Perforationen der Teile der Seitenseite erstrecken und insbesondere sich auch dort erstrecken, wo Perforationen der zweiten Stirnseite oder Teile der zweiten Stirnseite angeordnet sind. So bilden Sie nicht nur eine Brücke/Verbindung, sondern ermöglichen auch das saubere und einfache Abtrennen des gesamten Bereichs inklusive Teile ihrer selbst.With regard to the second area and the second perforation, it is as in FIG Figure 1 and 2 shown, advantageous if the side flaps form a bridge and/or connection between the parts of the second front side by means of their adhesive bonding to the parts of the second front side and thereby make it possible that when attaching to the attack flap 3 of the second area and tearing open along the second perforation 2 from the underside via the lower part of the second end side via the connection of the side flaps to the second part of the second end side and to the top side along the in particular continuous and/or circumferential perforation, the entire second area can be separated in one piece in one operation and one approach . For this purpose, the side flaps have perforations in particular, which in the assembled State of the collective packaging extend between the perforations of the parts of the side and in particular also extend where perforations of the second end face or parts of the second end face are arranged. In this way you not only form a bridge/connection, but also allow the entire area, including parts of itself, to be separated cleanly and easily.

Aufgrund einer Verkürzung eines Teils der zweiten Stirnseite bzw. der Asymmetrie der Ausgestaltung der zweiten Stirnseite ist die Hülle in eine Raumrichtung nicht zwingend vollständig geschlossen.Due to a shortening of part of the second end face or the asymmetry of the configuration of the second end face, the shell is not necessarily completely closed in one spatial direction.

In der Figur 2 ist links eine aus dem Zuschnitt aus Figur 1 gefaltete und verklebte, zusammengebaute Sammelverpackung dargestellt. In der Sammelverpackung sind mehrere Einzelverpackungen aufgenommen, wobei die Frontseite 4 der ersten/obersten Einzelverpackung an die zweite Stirnseite angrenzt.In the figure 2 is one out of the blank on the left figure 1 folded and glued assembled multipack shown. Several individual packages are accommodated in the collective packaging, with the front side 4 of the first/uppermost individual package adjoining the second front side.

Auf der rechten Seite ist oben (a) die Sammelverpackung dargestellt, wobei der erste Bereich entlang der Perforation 1 von der Sammelverpackung getrennt und die Sammelverpackung auf die Unterseite als Boden aufgestellt wurde. Dadurch wurde eine Entnahmefläche freigeben, wodurch die Einzelverpackungen, welche in der Sammelverpackung aufgenommen sind, durch teilweises Entfernen der Oberseite, Seitenwände und zweiten Stirnseite sichtbar sind, und die Frontseite 4 der ersten/obersten Einzelverpackung sichtbar ist, ohne dass die Einzelverpackung innerhalb der Sammelverpackung neu arrangiert werden muss, und somit die Frontseite 4 für einen Kunden direkt ersichtlich ist. Dieser Zustand eignet sich besonders für die Aufstellung der Sammelverpackung in einem (Tiefkühl-)Regal.The collective packaging is shown on the right-hand side above (a), the first area along the perforation 1 being separated from the collective packaging and the collective packaging being set up on the underside as a floor. This freed up a removal area, whereby the individual packages contained in the multi-pack are visible by partially removing the top, side walls and second end face, and the front 4 of the first/top individual package is visible without the individual package being re-positioned within the multi-pack must be arranged, and thus the front 4 is directly visible to a customer. This state is particularly suitable for setting up the collective packaging on a (frozen) shelf.

Mittels (c) ist in der Figur 2 die selbe Sammelverpackung dargestellt, wobei der zweite Bereich entlang der Perforation 2 von der Sammelverpackung getrennt und die Sammelverpackung auf die erste Stirnseite als Boden aufgestellt wurde. Dadurch wurde eine Entnahmefläche freigeben, wodurch die Einzelverpackungen, welche in der Sammelverpackung aufgenommen sind, durch teilweises Entfernen der Oberseite, zweiten Stirnseite und Unterseite sichtbar sind, und die Frontseite 4 der ersten/obersten Einzelverpackung sichtbar ist, ohne dass die Einzelverpackung innerhalb der Sammelverpackung neu arrangiert werden muss, und somit die Frontseite 4 für einen Kunden direkt ersichtlich ist. Dieser Zustand eignet sich besonders für die Aufstellung der Sammelverpackung in einer (Tiefkühl-) Truhe oder auf dem Boden.By means of (c) is in the figure 2 the same collective packaging is shown, with the second area being separated from the collective packaging along the perforation 2 and the collective packaging being set up on the first end face as a floor. This freed up a removal area, whereby the individual packages, which are accommodated in the multipack, are visible by partially removing the top, second end face and bottom, and the front side 4 of the first/topmost individual package is visible, without the individual package being repositioned within the multipack must be arranged, and thus the front 4 is directly visible to a customer. This condition is particularly suitable for placing the collective packaging in a (frozen) chest or on the floor.

Auf der rechten Seite ist unten (b) eine alternative Sammelverpackung dargestellt, wobei der zweite Bereich entlang der Perforation 2 von der Sammelverpackung getrennt und die Sammelverpackung auf die erste Stirnseite als Boden aufgestellt wurde. Dadurch wurde eine Entnahmefläche freigeben, wodurch die Einzelverpackungen, welche in der Sammelverpackung aufgenommen sind, durch teilweises Entfernen der Oberseite, zweiten Stirnseite und Unterseite sichtbar sind, und die Frontseite 4 der ersten/obersten Einzelverpackung sichtbar ist, ohne dass die Einzelverpackung innerhalb der Sammelverpackung neu arrangiert werden muss, und somit die Frontseite 4 für einen Kunden direkt ersichtlich ist. Dies stellt eine alternative Ausgestaltung des in der Figur 1 und 2(a) gezeigten zweiten Bereichs dar. In diesem nimmt der zweite Bereich die vollständige Fläche der zweiten Stirnseite ein.On the right-hand side below (b) an alternative collective packaging is shown, with the second area being separated from the collective packaging along the perforation 2 and the collective packaging being set up on the first end face as a base. This freed up a removal area, whereby the individual packages, which are accommodated in the multipack, are visible by partially removing the top, second end face and bottom, and the front side 4 of the first/topmost individual package is visible, without the individual package being repositioned within the multipack must be arranged, and thus the front 4 is directly visible to a customer. This represents an alternative embodiment of the Figure 1 and 2(a) shown second area. In this area, the second area occupies the entire area of the second end face.
