Caps and containers

The present invention relates to a bottle cap and a container, and more particularly to a bottle cap and a container having an ink printed identification bar code.

At present, in order to promote consumers' willingness to purchase, manufacturers often use collection activities or awards to stimulate consumers to purchase products. Traditionally, activity information or bonus information is printed inside the product, such as inside the bottle cap of a PET bottle, and the message is conveyed through a pattern or text. However, due to the limited space of the cap, and the number of words and the size of the text are limited, the amount of information conveyed by the manufacturer is limited. However, with the development of two-dimensional codes, such as QR Code, QR Code can store more information than traditional barcodes, and the popular mobile phone can easily scan the relationship of QR Code, making QR Code widely available. Used by manufacturers to convey event information or bonus information.

There are many ways to form the QR Code inside the product. Some manufacturers use the laser engraving technology to print the QR Code in order to make the QR Code form inside the product and have good recognition when contacting the product. Shooting and engraving techniques tend to increase the cost and time of manufacturing, and the profit is relatively reduced.

The present invention is to provide a bottle cap and a container, thereby solving the problem of high cost and long production time for printing the identification bar code by laser engraving technology.

A bottle cap disclosed in one embodiment of the present invention comprises a cover and a printed film. The printed film comprises an ink identification code structure, the ink identification code structure is disposed on the cover body, and the ink identification code structure is only exposed on the inner side of the cover body.

A container body has a liquid containing space and an opening, and the opening corresponds to the liquid containing space. The cap includes a cover and a printed membrane. A cover is detachably disposed in the opening to close the liquid containing space. A printing film comprises an ink identification code structure, and the ink identification code structure is disposed on the cover body. When the cover body closes the liquid storage space, the ink identification code structure is hidden in the cover body corresponding to the inner side of the liquid receiving space, when the cover body and the volume When the liquid space is separated, the ink identification code structure is only exposed on the inner side of the cover.

According to the bottle cap disclosed in the above embodiment, the ink identification code structure is printed through the ink printing technology, thereby reducing the cost and manufacturing time of the structure of the printed ink identification code. In addition, since the ink identification code structure is disposed on the cover body, and the ink identification code structure is only exposed on the inner side of the cover body, when the cover body closes the liquid storage space, only the ink identification code structure exposed on the inner side of the cover body is covered. The body and the liquid space are shielded from being exposed, and the ink identification code structure can be scanned in the case where the consumer is not purchased.

The cap 200a includes a cover 210a, a spacer 220a and a printed diaphragm 230a. The lid body 210a is detachably provided to the opening 120a of the container body 100a by, for example, screwing to close the liquid containing space 110a. In detail, the cover body 210a has a top plate 211a and an annular side plate 212a. The top plate 211a has an opposite first surface 2111a and a second surface 2112a. The annular side plate 212a connects the outer edge 2110a of the first surface 2111a and protrudes. On the first surface 2111a of the top plate 211a, the top plate 211a and the annular side plate 212a together form a cover space 201a. The annular side plate 212a of the lid body 210a is detachably screwed to the container body 100a such that the opening 120a of the container body 100a is located in the covering space 201a of the lid body 210a. In other words, the cover 210a closes the liquid containing space 110a of the container body 100a.

The spacer 220a is located on the cover space 201a and is stacked on the first surface 2111a, and the printed film 230a is stacked on one side of the spacer 220a away from the first surface 2111a.

In detail, the printed film 230a includes a substrate layer 231a, an ink identification code structure 232a, and a protective layer 233a. The substrate layer 231a is stacked on one side of the spacer 220a away from the first surface 2111a, and the ink identification code structure 232a is stacked on the side of the substrate layer 231a away from the spacer 220a, and the ink identification code structure 232a is transmitted through the substrate. The layer 231a and the spacer 220a are disposed indirectly on the lid 210a. The portion of the protective layer 233a is disposed on one side of the ink identification code structure 232a away from the substrate layer 231a, and the other portion of the protective layer 233a is stacked on the substrate layer 231a, so that the ink identification code structure 232a is coated on the protective layer 233a. Between the substrate layers 231a. Further, the protective layer 233a is made of a transparent material to maintain the visibility of the ink identification code structure 232a.

Taking the PET bottle product sold on the market as an example, when the product is displayed on the vending cabinet, the lid body 210a is in a combined state with the opening 120a of the container body 100a, and the lid body 210a closes the liquid containing space 110a, and the ink is sealed. The identification code structure 232a is concealed in the cover body 210a corresponding to the inner side of the liquid containing space 110a, that is, the ink identification code structure 232a is shielded by the cover body 210a and the container body 100a, so that the ink identification code structure 232a is hidden from exposure to avoid ink. The identification code structure 232a is exposed in advance of the product being sold.

Further, when the lid body 210a is in a combined state with the opening 120a of the container body 100a, the liquid contained in the container body 100a is in contact with the printing film sheet 230a, and the protective layer 233a of the printing film sheet 230a prevents the liquid and ink identification code structure. 232a is in direct contact and avoids ink contamination of food. In addition, the contact of the liquid with the ink identification code structure 232a can be avoided, so that the ink identification code structure 232a is wetted by the liquid, and the recognition of the ink identification code structure 232a is reduced.

After the PET bottle product is sold, the consumer can open the cover 210a, and the ink identification code structure 232a is located inside the cover 210a to be exposed, and the consumer can scan the ink identification code structure 232a. Please refer to FIG. 4 together. FIG. 4 is a plan view of the cap of FIG. The ink identification code structure 232a of the embodiment is a two-dimensional code, for example, a QR code, but the ink identification code structure may be other types of scanable barcodes, such as a one-dimensional code. Or visual code. The one-dimensional code is in the form of a plurality of different thicknesses and parallel black lines, and is usually paired with a set of numbers, such as bar codes on commercially available items. The visual code is a color QR Code, which is formed by combining a traditional QR Code with a colored pattern.

The manufacturer often records the activity information such as the prize and the product discount in the ink identification code structure 232a. After the consumer purchases the product, the product can be redeemed by scanning the ink identification code structure 232a. In addition to hiding the ink identification code structure 232a from the inside of the cover 210a, another ink identification code structure 232a may be disposed on the container body 100a and exposed, and the ink identification code structure 232a exposed on the outside of the container body 100a may be The information described in the ink identification code structure 232a hidden inside the cover 210a is connected as a measure for the manufacturer to track the product. For example, the location of the sale of the bottle product indicated by the ink identification code structure 232a exposed on the outside of the container body 100a is A. If the consumer passes the ink identification code structure 232a of the cover 210a, the prize is awarded at B. The manufacturer can scan the ink identification code structure 232a exposed on the outside of the container body to know that the PET bottle product is not sold at the correct location A. Therefore, the relationship between the hidden information and the information recorded by the explicit ink identification code structure 232a can be used for various purposes such as anti-counterfeiting of the product, and thus will not be exemplified.

The ink identification code structure 232a of the present embodiment is printed on the substrate layer 231a by using an ink printing technique. Since the ink printing technology is lower in cost and time than other printing techniques, such as laser engraving, Manufacturers can drive down the cost and production time of the identification code printed to stimulate consumption.

The printing film 230a of the above embodiment is disposed on the spacer 220a, and is not intended to limit the present invention. Please refer to FIG. 5. FIG. 5 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a bottle cap according to a second embodiment of the present invention.
