Description

  The present invention relates to a multi-pack made of paperboard used for stacking packaging for collecting a plurality of bottles such as drinks.

  Conventionally, a plurality of bottles and a single unit are packed in such a way that a small bottle such as a soft drink or a drink is wrapped in a paper packaging sheet for collecting and packaging together about 6 to 10 bottles. Packs are widely used because they can reduce packaging costs and are suitable for mass sales and distribution. For example, in the multi-pack P for collecting and packaging bottles of drinks or the like, as shown in FIG. 4, a blank in which a pair of side plates 2 and 3 and bottom plates 4 and 5 are sequentially arranged on both sides of the top plate 1. A shape that wraps a plurality of bottles T around 10P is generally used.

This multi-pack P is shaped by inserting the overlapping engagement pieces of one bottom plate 4 into the insertion port of the other bottom plate 5, and each bottle T packed and packaged is placed on the side plates 2 and 3 of the multi-pack P. The bottles that are held in the holding holes 2a and 3a provided at the edges and prevented from coming out of the assembled multipack P are prevented (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  However, the conventional multi-pack P has a structure in which a plurality of bottles T arranged in parallel in two rows are wrapped in a single sheet in a tunnel shape, so that the body is short and tapered. When this is applied to the bottle T, there is a problem that the gap between the tapered portion and the multipack P becomes wide, the holding stability of the bottle is lacking, and there is a risk that the bottle T comes out of the multipack P and falls.

  In order to solve the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a multi-pack made of paperboard that is easy to assemble and has a shape in which accumulated bottles and the like do not easily come out. It is.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a plurality of the base plates that are connected to each other by using a blank in which side plates are connected to a pair of opposite sides of the top plate and the bottom plates are connected to the side plates. A multi-pack that wraps and wraps so as to wrap the bottles, etc., and a folding plate is provided continuously from each side of the other pair of opposite sides of the top plate to a part of the side of the adjacent side plates. When wrapping bottles and the like with the blank and collecting and packaging, the folded plate is folded inward in advance, and the bottles and the like can be held by using the portions connected to both side plates of the folded plate as the folded holding portions. It is a multipack characterized by this. Further, a portion of the folded plate that is connected to the top plate can be shaped to be bonded to the back surface of the top plate.

In the multi-pack according to the present invention, when the folding plate is folded and wrapped in a bottle or the like, the bottle is held in the head holding hole provided in the upper edge portion of the side plate by folding the folding plate. It becomes difficult to escape. Furthermore, by using the folded-back holding portion as the portion that is connected to the both side plates of the folded-back plate, there is an effect that it is possible to prevent the bottles and the like that are collected and packaged from coming out easily.
