Description
JOINT A LANGUETTE POUR OBTURATION D'UN RECIPIENT A FERMETURE PAR BOUCHON OU CAPSULE ET PROCEDE DE FABRICATION L'invention concerne un nouveau joint à languette destiné à permettre l'obturation d'un récipient à fermeture par bouchon ou capsule ainsi que son procédé de fabrication. The invention relates to a new tongue seal intended to allow the closure of a closure container by cap or capsule and its manufacturing process. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION .
L'étanchéité des récipients à fermeture par bouchon ou capsule, préalablement à leur première ouverture, est effectuée au moyen d'un joint qui peut être collable ou scellable, 10 notamment thermiquement sur le buvant. The sealing of the closure containers by cap or capsule, prior to their first opening, is effected by means of a seal which may be bondable or sealable, especially thermally on the rim.
L'invention concerne plus particulièrement un joint thermoscellable. The invention more particularly relates to a heat-sealable seal.
Un tel joint est constitué d'un opercule mis en place sur tout le pourtour du rebord 15 supérieur du col du récipient ou buvant, isolant de la sorte le récipient de l'extérieur, et d'autre part, d'un support généralement plus épais, inséré, sans être pour autant fixé, au fond du bouchon. Préalablement à la première ouverture du récipient, le support et l'opercule peuvent être solidarisés par le biais d'un adhésif temporaire. Such a seal consists of a lid placed around the entire rim of the upper neck of the container or drinking, thus isolating the container from the outside, and secondly, a support generally more thick, inserted, without being fixed, at the bottom of the cap. Prior to the first opening of the container, the support and the lid may be secured by means of a temporary adhesive.
20 Le rôle de l'opercule est tout d'abord de conférer une inviolabilité du récipient avant la première ouverture. En outre, il assure l'étanchéité primaire vis-à-vis de l'extérieur. De plus, il doit développer certaines propriétés de compatibilité avec le contenu qu'il est sensé isoler et par exemple être de qualité alimentaire dès que le contenu est lui-même alimentaire. 25 Le support, quant à lui, est destiné à absorber les tolérances entre le fond de la capsule et/ou du bouchon et la partie supérieure du col du récipient, et en outre, à assurer l'étanchéité secondaire dès lors que l'opercule a été en tout ou partie retiré. Il est donc susceptible d'assurer une certaine compression avec effet mémoire pour justement 30 permettre d'absorber ces tolérances. The role of the cap is first of all to confer a tamper resistance of the container before the first opening. In addition, it provides the primary sealing vis-à-vis the outside. In addition, it must develop certain properties of compatibility with the content that it is supposed to isolate and for example be of food quality as soon as the content itself is food. The support, meanwhile, is intended to absorb the tolerances between the bottom of the capsule and / or the cap and the upper part of the neck of the container, and in addition, to ensure secondary sealing when the operculum has been wholly or partly removed. It is therefore likely to provide some compression with memory effect to precisely 30 allow to absorb these tolerances.
En pratique, le joint est inséré au fond de la capsule ou du bouchon. Une fois le récipient rempli, on vient visser ou clipser le bouchon ou la capsule munie du joint sur le récipient. La partie opercule du joint se trouve alors au contact du buvant. Le scellage de l'opercule 35 sur le buvant est ensuite effectué par thermoscellage par induction. Ce thermoscellage est rendu possible par l'action combinée d'un matériau conducteur, inséré dans l'épaisseur du joint, qui, sous l'effet d'une induction électrique s'échauffe, entrainant le ramollissement du film de scellage sur le buvant. Le matériau conducteur peut être inséré soit dans le support, soit dans l'opercule. Le plus souvent, il est inséré dans l'épaisseur de l'opercule. In practice, the seal is inserted at the bottom of the capsule or cap. Once the container is filled, it comes to screw or clip the cap or the capsule with the seal on the container. The seal portion of the seal is then in contact with the rim. The seal 35 on the cap is then sealed by induction heat sealing. This heat sealing is made possible by the combined action of a conductive material, inserted in the thickness of the seal, which, under the effect of an electric induction is heated, causing the softening of the sealing film on the rim. The conductive material may be inserted either into the support or into the lid. Most often, it is inserted into the thickness of the lid.
Lorsque que l'on procède pour la première fois à l'ouverture du récipient, le support inséré au fond du bouchon se désolidarise de l'opercule resté scellé sur le buvant. Ce n'est qu'ensuite que l'opercule est retiré par le consommateur, l'étanchéité, en position fermée du récipient, n'étant plus alors assurée que par la partie support du joint venant plaquer par compression sur le buvant. When one proceeds for the first time to the opening of the container, the support inserted in the bottom of the cap disengages from the lid remained sealed on the rim. It is only then that the cap is removed by the consumer, sealing in the closed position of the container, then being assured only by the support part of the seal coming to press against the rim.
Pour permettre un arrachage efficace et facile de l'opercule par le consommateur, on a proposé d'adjoindre audit opercule une languette facilement préhensible, telle que par exemple décrite dans le document FR-A-2 716 407. To allow efficient and easy tearing of the lid by the consumer, it has been proposed to add to said operculum an easily prehensible tongue, such as for example described in document FR-A-2 716 407.
Néanmoins, la présence de cette languette proéminente rend difficile le positionnement du joint au fond du bouchon ou de la capsule, du fait de la surépaisseur créée latéralement. Il est en outre difficile de positionner de manière sûre la languette par rapport au filet ou aux clips agencés dans le bouchon ou la capsule pour éviter tout risque de détérioration de la languette au moment de la fermeture ou de l'ouverture du bouchon ou de la capsule. Nevertheless, the presence of this prominent tongue makes it difficult to position the seal at the bottom of the cap or the capsule, because of the extra thickness created laterally. It is also difficult to securely position the tongue relative to the net or the clips arranged in the cap or the capsule to avoid any risk of damage to the tongue at the time of closure or opening of the cap or the capsule.
Le document DE3920324 décrit un joint thermoscellable par induction constitué d'un support et d'un opercule muni d'une languette, le support et l'opercule n'étant à aucun moment rendus solidaires l'un des l'autre. Sur trois modes de réalisation illustrés, seul l'un d'entre eux (figure 1) comporte une languette retournée sur toute sa surface. La languette est constituée par l'association d'une membrane et d'une couche scellante, la feuille d'aluminium étant positionnée dans le support. Document DE3920324 describes an induction heat-sealable gasket consisting of a support and a lid provided with a tongue, the support and the lid being at no time secured to one another. In three illustrated embodiments, only one of them (Figure 1) has a tongue turned over its entire surface. The tongue is constituted by the combination of a membrane and a sealing layer, the aluminum sheet being positioned in the support.
Le problème que se propose de résoudre l'invention est de mettre au point un joint à languette du type de celui décrit dans le document DE 3920324 qui présente une couche d'adhésif temporaire entre le support et l'opercule sans pour autant entraîner des risques de collage de la languette au moment de l'opération d'assemblage avec l'adhésif temporaire ou de l'opération de thermoscellage. The problem to be solved by the invention is to develop a tongue seal of the type described in DE 3920324 which has a temporary adhesive layer between the support and the cover without causing risks. gluing the tongue at the time of the assembly operation with the temporary adhesive or the heat seal operation.
Pour résoudre le problème du risque de collage au moment de l'induction, le Demandeur 35 a mis au point un joint muni d'une languette, dont la partie retournée en contact avec le support est dépourvue de couche thermoscellante, ainsi qu'un procédé permettant de fabriquer ledit joint. To solve the problem of the risk of sticking at the time of induction, the Applicant 35 has developed a seal provided with a tongue, the returned portion in contact with the support is devoid of heat-sealing layer, and a method making it possible to manufacture said seal.
L'invention a ainsi pour objet un joint thermoscellable pour l'obturation d'un récipient à fermeture par bouchon ou capsule, comprenant un support destiné à être positionné au fond du bouchon ou de la capsule, associé au moyen d'un adhésif temporaire à un opercule muni d'un prolongement constituant une languette d'arrachage, dont la totalité de la surface est repliée sur la face de l'opercule en contact avec la face correspondante du support, ledit opercule comprenant une feuille réalisée en un matériau conducteur positionnée sur un complexe constitué par au moins un film de renfort supérieur et un film thermoscellant inférieur destiné à être appliqué sur le buvant du récipient. The invention thus relates to a heat-sealable seal for closing a closure container with a stopper or capsule, comprising a support intended to be positioned at the bottom of the stopper or the capsule, associated by means of a temporary adhesive to a cover provided with an extension constituting a pull tab, the entire surface of which is folded over the face of the cover in contact with the corresponding face of the support, said cover comprising a sheet made of a conductive material positioned on a complex consisting of at least one upper reinforcing film and a lower heat-sealing film intended to be applied to the rim of the container.
Ce joint se caractérise en ce que la languette est réalisée exclusivement dans le prolongement du film de renfort supérieur. Selon l'invention, la languette est constituée par un prolongement formé exclusivement dans le prolongement du ou des films de renfort. This seal is characterized in that the tongue is made exclusively in the extension of the upper reinforcing film. According to the invention, the tongue is constituted by an extension formed exclusively in the extension of the reinforcing film or films.
Le nombre de couches constitutives du support et de l'opercule n'est pas limité étant 20 rappelé que viennent s'ajouter notamment les liants assurant le collage des films entre eux. The number of layers constituting the support and the lid is not limited being recalled that are added in particular binders ensuring the bonding of films between them.
Bien entendu, le joint de l'invention a une forme adaptée à la forme du récipient et du bouchon et peut être circulaire ou parallélépipédique. 25 S'agissant du support, celui-ci peut être réalisé en tout type de matériau compressible avec mémoire de reprise, notamment en polyéthylène expansé ou en polypropylène expansé, éventuellement muni sur au moins une de ses deux faces, d'un film de polypropylène ou polyéthylène pour lui conférer une certaine rigidité. Il peut également 30 être réalisé en carton. En pratique, les supports envisagés ont une épaisseur comprise entre 0,5 et 4 mm, avantageusement entre 0.7 et 2 mm, en pratique de l'ordre de 0.5 mm. Of course, the seal of the invention has a shape adapted to the shape of the container and the cap and can be circular or parallelepiped. With regard to the support, it may be made of any type of compressible material with recovery memory, in particular expanded polyethylene or expanded polypropylene, optionally provided on at least one of its two faces, with a polypropylene film. or polyethylene to give it some rigidity. It can also be made of cardboard. In practice, the supports envisaged have a thickness of between 0.5 and 4 mm, advantageously between 0.7 and 2 mm, in practice of the order of 0.5 mm.
L'opercule va maintenant être décrit plus en détails.15 Selon l'invention, l'opercule comprend une feuille réalisée en un matériau conducteur s'échauffant lorsqu'elle est parcourue par un courant électrique induit, et positionnée sur un complexe constitué par au moins un film de renfort supérieur et un film thermoscellant inférieur destiné à être appliqué sur le buvant du récipient. The lid will now be described in greater detail. According to the invention, the lid comprises a sheet made of a conductive material that becomes heated when it is traversed by an induced electric current, and positioned on a complex constituted by less an upper reinforcing film and a lower heat sealing film to be applied to the rim of the container.
Selon une caractéristique essentielle, la languette est réalisée exclusivement dans le prolongement du film de renfort ce qui signifie qu'avant désolidarisation du support et de l'opercule, la totalité de la surface de la languette constituée du film de renfort est retournée pour venir se positionner sur la face supérieure de la feuille réalisée en matériau conducteur. Il s'ensuit que l'opercule proprement dit a une structure tricouche (de haut en bas : matériau conducteur/film de renfort/film thermoscellant) alors que la languette a une structure monocouche (film de renfort). Ce mode de réalisation particulier permet d'éviter les risques éventuels de collage au moment du thermoscellage de la languette en position retournée avec le support, du fait de l'absence du film de scellage. Un autre avantage réside dans l'application du champ électrique au moment de l'induction, qui se répartit de manière homogène à la périphérie de la feuille d'aluminium, ce qui n'est pas forcément le cas lorsque la languette se trouve dans le prolongement de ladite feuille. Dans cette dernière hypothèse, on s'expose à des risques de fuites dues au scellage imparfait de l'opercule sur le buvant au niveau de chaque coté de la base de la languette. According to an essential characteristic, the tongue is made exclusively in the extension of the reinforcing film, which means that before disconnection of the support and the cover, the entire surface of the tongue constituted by the reinforcing film is turned over to meet position on the upper face of the sheet made of conductive material. It follows that the lid itself has a three-layer structure (from top to bottom: conductive material / reinforcing film / heat-sealing film) while the tongue has a monolayer structure (reinforcing film). This particular embodiment makes it possible to avoid any risk of sticking when the tongue is heat-sealed in the inverted position with the support, because of the absence of the sealing film. Another advantage lies in the application of the electric field at the time of induction, which is distributed homogeneously at the periphery of the aluminum foil, which is not necessarily the case when the tongue is in the extension of said sheet. In the latter case, there is a risk of leakage due to imperfect sealing of the lid on the rim at each side of the base of the tongue.
Dans le mode de réalisation ci-avant évoqué, l'impression de l'encre peut être effectuée directement sur la feuille d'aluminium ou sur un film de renfort préalablement appliqué sur la face supérieure de la feuille d'aluminium. In the embodiment mentioned above, the printing of the ink can be performed directly on the aluminum foil or on a reinforcing film previously applied to the upper face of the aluminum foil.
Une seconde alternative consiste à prévoir non plus un mais deux films de renfort entre la feuille d'aluminium et le film thermoscellant. Dans ce cas, l'opercule comprend deux films de renfort superposés respectivement un film de renfort inférieur et un film de renfort supérieur. La languette est agencée dans le prolongement des deux films. A second alternative is to provide not one but two reinforcing films between the aluminum foil and the heat-sealing film. In this case, the cover comprises two reinforcement films superimposed respectively a lower reinforcing film and a higher reinforcing film. The tongue is arranged in the extension of the two films.
De manière générale, le matériau constitutif de la languette et donc du film de renfort sera choisi de sorte à ce la résistance dudit matériau soit supérieure à celle de la force d'arrachage de l'opercule. In general, the material constituting the tongue and therefore the reinforcing film will be selected so that the resistance of said material is greater than that of the pulling force of the lid.
En pratique, le film de renfort est par exemple un film de polyester biorienté d'épaisseur 35 comprise entre 4 et 40 m. In practice, the reinforcing film is, for example, a biaxially oriented polyester film with a thickness of between 4 and 40 m.
Selon une autre caractéristique, le film thermoscellant est réalisé en tout type de matériau compatible avec le pot sur lequel l'opercule doit être scellé. Il peut s'agir de polyéthylène, polypropylène, polyester, de matériaux de type Surlyn de Dupont, de hotmelts 5 modifiés... According to another characteristic, the heat-sealing film is made of any type of material compatible with the pot on which the cap must be sealed. It may be polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester, Dupont Surlyn type materials, modified hotmelts 5 ...
Par ailleurs, le film de renfort et le film thermoscellant sont associés au moyen d'un liant tel que par exemple une colle bicomposant isocyanate û hydroxyle. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, le film thermoscellant est directement extrudé sur le film de renfort, en 10 présence ou non d'agent liant. Moreover, the reinforcing film and the heat-sealing film are combined by means of a binder such as, for example, a two-component isocyanate-hydroxyl glue. In another embodiment, the heat-sealing film is directly extruded onto the backing film, in the presence or absence of a binder.
Dans tous les cas, l'opercule a en pratique, une épaisseur comprise entre 20 et 600 m. In all cases, the seal has in practice a thickness of between 20 and 600 m.
S'agissant de la solidarisation temporaire entre le support et l'opercule, celle-ci peut être 15 obtenue au moyen d'un adhésif temporaire appliqué ponctuellement sur une multitude de points, par exemple de la cire microcristalline ou, avantageusement au moyen d'un film extrudé constitué par exemple d'un polymère tel que le polyéthylène. Le film adhésif peut être également un film co-extrudé, dont chacune des deux faces a un pouvoir collant différent, la face la plus collante étant par exemple appliquée sur la surface inférieure du 20 support, tandis que la face la moins collante est appliquée sur la face supérieure de l'opercule. En pratique, le film co-extrudé est un film à base de polymère, en général synthétique, et choisi judicieusement par l'homme du métier, de manière à obtenir les propriétés recherchées de collage différentiel. De tels polymères sont par exemple des polymères ou co-polymères à base d'acétate, d'acrylate, de polyéthylène ... 25 De manière générale, l'adhésif doit être choisi de telle sorte à ce que la force d'assemblage entre le support et l'opercule soit inférieure à celle de la couche thermoscellante sur le buvant. With regard to the temporary connection between the support and the cover, this can be obtained by means of a temporary adhesive applied punctually to a multitude of points, for example microcrystalline wax or, advantageously, by means of an extruded film consisting for example of a polymer such as polyethylene. The adhesive film may also be a coextruded film, each of which has a different tackiness on both sides, the tackiest side being for example applied to the lower surface of the support, while the less tacky face is applied to the upper face of the operculum. In practice, the coextruded film is a polymer-based film, generally synthetic, and judiciously chosen by those skilled in the art, so as to obtain the desired properties of differential bonding. Such polymers are, for example, polymers or co-polymers based on acetate, acrylate, polyethylene, etc. In general, the adhesive must be chosen in such a way that the joining force between the support and the cover is lower than that of the heat-sealing layer on the rim.
30 L'invention a également pour objet un procédé de fabrication des joints thermoscellables précédemment décrits selon lequel : on crée des ouvertures de forme et de taille identique à celle de la languette dans une feuille réalisée en un matériau conducteur, on associe ensuite définitivement la face supérieure de la bande de film de 35 renfort avec la face inférieure de la feuille réalisée en un matériau conducteur, on découpe les languettes dans la bande de film de renfort en regard des trous réalisés préalablement dans la feuille réalisée en un matériau conducteur, - on retourne la totalité de la surface des languettes sur la face supérieure de la feuille réalisée en un matériau conducteur, - on associe ensuite définitivement la face inférieure de la bande de film de renfort avec la bande de film thermoscellant, l'ensemble constituant la bande opercule, parallèlement, on prépare une bande support - on solidarise ensuite temporairement la bande support à la bande opercule au moyen d'un adhésif temporaire, pour former la bande joint, on découpe sur la totalité de l'épaisseur de la bande joint, les joints à la forme souhaitée de façon repérée par rapport aux languettes. The subject of the invention is also a process for manufacturing the heat-sealable seals described above, according to which: openings of the same shape and size as the tongue are created in a sheet made of a conductive material, the face is then definitively associated. the upper side of the reinforcing film strip with the underside of the sheet made of a conductive material, the tabs are cut in the reinforcing film strip opposite the holes previously made in the sheet made of a conductive material, returns the entire surface of the tongues on the upper face of the sheet made of a conductive material, - then definitively associates the underside of the reinforcing film strip with the heat-sealing film strip, the assembly constituting the operculum strip; at the same time, a support strip is prepared - the support band is then temporarily secured. t to the band seal with a temporary adhesive, to form the joint strip is cut on the entire thickness of the joint strip, the joints to the desired shape in a manner marked with respect to the tabs.
Dans une forme de réalisation particulière, le complexe sur lequel est appliquée la feuille comprend deux films de renfort superposés respectivement un film de renfort inférieur et un film de renfort supérieur. Dans ce cas, la languette est agencée dans le prolongement des deux films. In a particular embodiment, the complex on which the sheet is applied comprises two reinforcing films superimposed respectively a lower reinforcing film and an upper reinforcing film. In this case, the tongue is arranged in the extension of the two films.
Selon une autre caractéristique, le film de renfort est un film de polyester biorienté d'épaisseur comprise entre 4 et 40 m. According to another characteristic, the reinforcing film is a biaxially oriented polyester film with a thickness of between 4 and 40 m.
Avantageusement, la feuille réalisée en un matériau conducteur est une feuille d'aluminium, présentant sur sa face supérieure éventuellement une impression appliquée directement ou sur un film de renfort positionné préalablement sur la face supérieure de la feuille en aluminium. Advantageously, the sheet made of a conductive material is an aluminum foil, having on its upper face optionally an impression applied directly or on a reinforcing film positioned beforehand on the upper face of the aluminum foil.
Enfin, dans la mesure où la film de renfort est situé sous la feuille en matériau conducteur, la force d'assemblage du ou des films de renfort sur le reste de l'opercule reste standard et égale à celle de la couche thermoscellée sur le buvant. Finally, insofar as the reinforcing film is located under the sheet of conductive material, the assembly force of the reinforcing film or films on the remainder of the lid remains standard and equal to that of the heat-sealed layer on the drinking surface. .
30 L'invention et les avantages qui en découlent ressortiront mieux des exemples qui suivent, à l'appui des figures annexées. The invention and the advantages thereof will become more apparent from the following examples, in support of the accompanying figures.
La figure 1 est une représentation schématique en plan du support constitutif du joint de l'invention. 35 La figure 2 est une vue en plan de l'opercule constitutif du joint de l'invention. 25 La figure 3 est une représentation en coupe du joint de l'invention, avant solidarisation de la partie opercule et de la partie support. Figure 1 is a schematic representation in plan of the constituent support of the seal of the invention. Figure 2 is a plan view of the seal forming the seal of the invention. Figure 3 is a sectional view of the seal of the invention, before securing the cap portion and the support portion.
Un joint selon l'invention est un joint thermoscellable par induction. En particulier, le joint défini sur la figure 1 par la référence générale (1) est constitué d'un support (2) (figure 1) et d'un opercule (3) (figure 2) muni d'une languette (4). Comme le montre la figure 3, le support comprend une couche (5) réalisée en polypropylène ou polyéthylène expansé et présente une épaisseur comprise entre 1,4 et 1,7 mm. L'opercule (3) est un opercule thermoscellable par induction et est constitué d'une feuille d'aluminium (6) associée à un film de renfort en PET (7) se prolongeant par la languette d'arrachage (4) au moyen d'un agent liant non représenté. L'opercule est en outre muni d'un film thermoscelllant (8) et d'une couche d'impression (9) appliquée directement sur la feuille d'aluminium ou par le biais d'un film de renfort on représenté. Comme le montre la figure 3, la languette d'arrachage (4) est constituée du seul film de renfort (7), la languette étant, au sein du joint, avant désolidarisation, repliée sur elle-même et sur la totalité de sa longueur, sur la couche d'impression, c'est à dire entre la face supérieure de l'opercule (3) et la face inférieure du support (2). Selon l'invention, le support et l'opercule sont associés au moyen d'un film adhésif temporaire (10) représenté sur la figure 3. Ce film temporaire est un film extrudé du type polyéthylène. A seal according to the invention is an induction heat-sealable seal. In particular, the joint defined in FIG. 1 by the general reference (1) consists of a support (2) (FIG. 1) and a cover (3) (FIG. 2) provided with a tongue (4). . As shown in Figure 3, the support comprises a layer (5) made of expanded polypropylene or polyethylene and has a thickness of between 1.4 and 1.7 mm. The cover (3) is an induction heat-sealable cover and consists of an aluminum foil (6) associated with a PET backing film (7) extending through the pull tab (4) by means of a binder agent not shown. The lid is further provided with a heat-sealing film (8) and a printing layer (9) applied directly to the aluminum foil or by means of a reinforcing film shown. As shown in Figure 3, the pull tab (4) consists of the only reinforcing film (7), the tongue being, in the joint, before disconnection, folded on itself and over its entire length , on the printing layer, that is to say between the upper face of the cover (3) and the lower face of the support (2). According to the invention, the support and the cover are associated by means of a temporary adhesive film (10) shown in FIG. 3. This temporary film is an extruded film of the polyethylene type.
En pratique, ces joints sont positionnés tels quels au fond du bouchon, le bouchon étant ensuite vissé ou clipsé, selon les cas, sur le col du récipient. Le thermoscellage du joint est effectué par induction. In practice, these seals are positioned as such at the bottom of the cap, the cap is then screwed or clipped, as appropriate, on the neck of the container. Heat sealing of the seal is done by induction.
S'agissant du procédé, on fabrique tout d'abord l'opercule. Pour ce faire, on créé oar découpage des ouvertures de forme et de taille identique à celle de la languette dans la feuille d'aluminium. On enroule puis on déroule la feuille d'aluminium sur le film de renfort que l'on associe définitivement par collage. On prédécoupe les languettes dans la bande de film de renfort en regard des trous réalisés préalablement dans la feuille d'aluminium. On retourne la totalité de la surface des languettes sur la face supérieure imprimée de la feuille d'aluminium. On enroule puis on déroule le complexe Alu/film de renfort sur le film thermoscellant que l'on associe par collage. On fabrique parallèlement les bandes support. On associe le support à l'opercule ainsi formé au moyen d'un adhésif temporaire. On découpe le joint dans l'épaisseur à la forme souhaitée de manière séparée par rapport au positionnement de la languette. As regards the process, the cover is first manufactured. To do this, one creates oar cutting openings of shape and size identical to that of the tongue in the aluminum foil. The aluminum foil is rolled up and unrolled on the reinforcement film which is permanently bonded together. The tongues are precut in the reinforcing film strip opposite the holes made beforehand in the aluminum foil. The entire surface of the tongues is returned to the printed top face of the aluminum foil. The Alu complex / reinforcement film is rolled up and unrolled on the heat-sealing film which is bonded together. The support strips are produced in parallel. The support is associated with the lid thus formed by means of a temporary adhesive. The seal is cut in the thickness to the desired shape separately from the positioning of the tongue.
