FOOD OR SMALL PACK

The invention relates to a food package comprising an edged storage space for a foodstuff to be packaged and said upper space at the top to accommodate an attachment surface or an attachment edge lid to the upper surface of the packaging.

Food and beverage packaging is previously known as plastic and metal casings. Cardboard box-type packages are also known, but the surface of the cardboard used therein is laminated with a food film. It follows from such a plastic laminated food film on the surface of the cardboard that the cardboard is not accepted for recycling through cardboard collection. Food and beverage approved plastic and metal packaging frames can be used and recycled through the appropriate recycling points, but the frames made from them are more expensive than conventional cardboard.

To eliminate these drawbacks and to provide a food packaging made of recyclable material, a novel food packaging has been developed in which the materials used are easily separable and each material can be sorted separately at its own recycling point. The food package according to the invention is characterized in that the housing space body is folded out of recyclable cardboard and said housing space is internally lined with a separate food film which is removable from said housing.

An advantage of the food package according to the invention is that the body of the package can be made of a conventional cardboard body, which is at least folded to obtain the desired cup or cup shape and the upper edge to which the lid can be attached. At the time of packaging disposal, the carton body and the food film lining it are easily separated as well as the packaging lid, each of which is separate and each has its own homogeneous material so that it can be disposed of at its own recycling points. Of course, the cardboard body can be made of cardboard without even folding, if such a technique proves to be profitable and feasible. The board-like board must withstand stretching to the cup shape. This can be done with certainty at least during the board making process before the material is dried.

Conventional board as a packaging material and as a backing material is clearly less expensive than laminated board or plastic backing. Above all, laminated board is unsuitable for recycling.

In the following, the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 shows a food package.

Figure 2 shows the package of Figure 1 with the lid removed and the liner film in place.

Figure 3 is a plan view of a carton body.

Figure 4 is a side view of a carton body.

Figure 5 shows the carton packaging body in the open position.

Figure 6 shows a partially folded carton packaging body.

Figure 1 shows a food package comprising a rectangular bowl-shaped body forming a food storage space 2 and a lid 1 mounted on the body which is removable in the conventional manner by grasping the tear-off insert 3. The lid 1 is cardboard or foodstuff plastic which is printed on the required information.

Figure 2 shows the food package of Figure 1 with the lid 1 removed. This reveals a food film 5 disposed inside the body, which is mounted against the body and whose edges extend over the folds of the body edges. The portion 4 of the food film 5 extends over the edge of the body, wherein said film 5 can be removed from the body by grasping the portion 4.

Fig. 3 shows a folded package body made of ordinary cardboard, into which a food storage space 2 is formed when said space is lined with a food film. By means of the folds it is possible to form an upper edge 6 which revolves around the upper edge of the resulting body and which is in the same plane as the periphery.

Figure 4 is a side view of the packaging body of Figure 3. The body comprises a plurality of folds, wherein the folds are glued to those parts of the frame as the necessary frame for the package is gradually folded from straight cut cardboard. If the lid 1 is a food plastic film 1, it is affixed with a food grade adhesive to the top edges 6 of the body which already has a food plastic film 5 as the first applied layer. Alternatively, the cardboard cover 1 is glued to said top 5 of the body.

Figure 5 shows a carton blank of a packaging body as a straight sheet. The blank is cut at its outer edges to a final shape. Reference numeral 7 represents the cut-out portions within the blank. All other lines inside the blank represent fold lines. These lines have been either nibbled or preloaded, or some other formatting that controls the layout.

Fig. 6 shows a somewhat folded blank of Fig. 5, whereby the housing 2 itself, i.e. the recess inside the fixing surfaces 6, has already been formed. The flaps 10 and 8, 9 and 11 and 12 and 13 are further folded and glued together, of which the flaps 9 and 10 15 are folded to the underside of the upper edges 6 and the flaps 8, Ilia 12 are secured to the sides of the body and the portion to the bottom.
