Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a packing and displaying box for receiving a multitude of primary packages, comprising a bottom surface, a front wall, a rear wall and two side walls, to a combination of primary packages and a packing and displaying box containing them and to a blank for making a packing and displaying box according to the present invention.
  • This last requirement is normally fulfilled by using a compact distribution of the packages within the packing box (i.e. not allowing for any free space for the packages to move). This normally avoids disorder of the packages at least until the consumer removes one such package from the packing box thereby creating free space that will allow subsequent free movement of the packages.
  • the problem of package disorder within a packing box is particularly acute when the box is designed to be also a display packaging and is therefore provided in its open state with side walls which have a height substantially lower than the height of the primary packages contained therein to permit a good visibility of such packages by the consumer. In this case not only package disorder will occur but it will also be associated with the effect of the primary packages falling down to their sides thereby reducing consumer perception of the packing box's contents.
  • Packing boxes which fulfill only one feature mentioned above, e.g. only stabilizing the primary packages within a packing and displaying box, but making it more difficult to take them out, for instance by providing a packing box with side walls having a height which corresponds to the total height of the packages contained therein This solution does not avoid however the problem of packaging disorder and falling down once the packing box has been partially emptied by removing some of the primary packages.
  • the first two objects are achieved in that the side walls of the packing and displaying box have flaps in the area of their upper edges, the flaps projecting inwardly and being aligned in a position departing substantially from the verticality, preferably forming an angle with the vertical of more than 40°, more preferably more than 60°, still more preferably more than 80° and most preferably of 90° (angle of 90° with the vertical).
  • said flaps are arranged alternatingly on the side walls providing at least one flap per primary package.
  • said flaps are arranged alternatingly on the side walls providing at least one flap per primary package except for the first and/or last package in the packing and displaying box.
  • each flap is loosely engageable with one primary package.
  • the primary packages show at their surfaces facing the side wall of the packing box and confronted with the flaps an indentation for loose engagement with such flaps.
  • the packing and displaying box is made of a blank, which is made of cardboard.
  • the side walls of the packing and displaying box are double-walled.
  • the front and rear walls are fixed to the side walls by means of rough surfaces which are retained within the double-walled side walls.
  • the front wall is substantially cut out.
  • the third object namely providing a single-piece blank for making a packing box, is achieved in that the side walls comprise extensions for engaging into grooves punched on the bottom surface when the blank is folded, and the side walls comprise flaps slitted therein and projecting inwardly and being aligned in a position departing substantially from the verticality, preferably forming an angle with the vertical of more than 40°, more preferably more than 60°, still more preferably more than 80° and most preferably of substantially 90° when the blank is folded.
  • the blank comprises folds and double-folds for folding the blank according to a specific pattern.
  • the folds and double-folds comprise small incisions.
  • a particular advantage of the blank according to the invention is that the flaps position themselves in the inwardly projecting position when the double side walls are folded over themselves when the packing box is erected, without the need of any actuation on the flaps. This is advantageous as it simplifies the erecting process resulting in the possibility of using a simpler erecting machine and in a shortage of the time needed for erection of the packing box.
  • FIG. 1 shows a blank for making a packing and displaying box according to the present invention
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a folded and assembled packing and displaying box according to the invention filled with primary packages.
  • FIG. 1 shows a blank 1 of the present invention for making a packing and displaying box 14 .
  • the basis of the blank 1 is a cardboard, which is punched into the desired base form.
  • the cardboard comprises a bottom surface 2 , a front wall 3 , a back wall 4 and two side walls 5 .
  • the front wall 3 and the rear wall 4 comprise prolongations preferably in the form of rough surfaces 6 .
  • On the bottom surface 2 four grooves 7 are punched in the area of the longitudinal edges of the bottom surface 2 .
  • the side walls 5 each comprise two extensions 8 which correspond to the grooves 7 on one side of the bottom surface 2 .
  • two flaps 9 are located thereon which are in plane with the unfolded blank 1 .
  • the flaps 9 are provided on the side walls 5 by slitting the appropriate shape of the flaps 9 into the side walls 5 with punching a little hole 10 below each flap 9 .
  • On the plane blank 1 a number of folds 11 and double folds 12 are provided for folding the blank 1 into the packing and displaying box 14 according to a specific pattern.
  • the front wall 3 and the rear wall 4 are folded vertically with regard to the plane bottom surface 2 .
  • the prolongation in the form of rough surfaces 6 of the front and rear walls 3 , 4 are then folded vertically with regard to the front and rear walls 3 , 4 , and the side walls 5 are afterwards folded around the double fold 12 , so that the extensions 8 may engage into the corresponding grooves 7 to affix the walls 3 , 4 and the side walls 5 in an upright position.
  • the flaps 9 will automatically raise from the surface plane of the side walls 5 and will project inwardly and will align in a position departing substantially from the verticality, preferably forming an angle with the vertical of more than 40°, more preferably more than 60°, still more preferably more than 80° and most preferably being substantially horizontal (angle of 90° with the vertical), when the extensions 8 are engaged with the grooves 7 .
  • FIG. 2 A folded and assembled packing and displaying box 14 according to the present invention is shown in FIG. 2 .
  • the packing box 14 may comprise a number of primary packages 13 , in FIG. 2 six primary packages 13 are located in the packing box 14 .
  • at least one flap 9 may be provided to stabilize the primary package 13 in the packing box 14 according to the present invention.
  • Each flap 9 may loosely engage with a side portion of a primary package 13 , preferably comprising an indentation 15 for improved engagement.
  • the flaps 9 are alternatingly arranged on the side walls 5 to stabilize the second to fifth primary package 13 .
  • the first primary package 13 in the packing and displaying box 14 does not need a stabilizing flap 9 , since the first primary package 13 is stabilized by the front wall 3 and the second primary package 13 .
  • the second primary package 13 is prevented from falling by its flap 9 .
  • the third to fifth primary packages 13 are stabilized accordingly. In case, only the sixth primary package 13 is left in the packing and displaying box 14 it is stabilized by the rear wall 4 .
  • the number of flaps 9 may be adjusted according to the requirements of the primary packages 13 .
  • the shape and the dimension of the flaps may be adjustable.
  • the flaps 9 between the primary packages 13 for stabilization in which case of course there will be no advantage in providing primary packages 13 with an indentation 15 thereon.
  • the shape of the front and rear walls 3 , 4 and the side walls 5 may be adjusted as required.
  • the front wall 3 may comprise a cutout to improve the appearance of the primary packages 13 in the packing and displaying box 14 as visibility of the first primary package 13 is enhanced.
