Definitions

  • the present application relates generally to containers and more particularly to a container that allows viewing of visually distinct phases of a composition.
  • compositions have been developed that employ two or more phases packaged in a single container.
  • the phases although packaged in physical contact are, at least initially, separate and distinct. It is desirable to allow viewing of at least a portion of a composition having two or more phases, particularly in instances wherein the composition is visually pleasing.
  • Previously containers have been proposed to hold personal care compositions having two or more phases.
  • the containers may be transparent, which can provide a consumer with the ability to view the composition therein.
  • one drawback to these previous containers is that they require that the composition remain substantially stable in order to maintain the desired pleasing aesthetic appearance to the consumer. Therefore a need still exists in the art for a package suitable for containing a personal care composition comprising at least two visually distinct phases which communicates the multi phase nature of the product to the consumer but does not necessarily require long term stability.
  • the invention features a container for a personal care composition having at least two visually distinct phases wherein the visually distinct phases can be seen through a portion of the container.
  • the container includes a viewing portion that allows for viewing of the visually distinct phases within the container and a covering portion that inhibits viewing of the composition within the container.
  • the viewing portion is from about 0.5% to about 70% of the surface area of the package exclusive of any closure. More preferably the viewing portion is from about 0.5% to about 50% of the surface area of the package exclusive of any closure.
  • the viewing portion is completely bounded by the covering portion.
  • the viewing and covering portions may be formed by a sleeve or wrap.
  • the sleeve may be a shrink sleeve that extends about a periphery of the container.
  • the container may have a transparent body.
  • the personal care composition may be a multi-phase composition where phases of the composition form the visually distinct phases.
  • FIG. 1 is a front view of an embodiment of a container
  • FIG. 2 is an exploded front view of the container of FIG. 1 ;
  • FIG. 3A illustrates a back of the container of FIG. 1 ;
  • FIG. 3B illustrates a side of the container of FIG. 1 ;
  • FIG. 3C illustrates a face of the container of FIG. 1 ;
  • FIG. 3D illustrates a side of the container of FIG. 1 ;
  • FIG. 4 shows an embodiment of a shrink sleeve removed from the container of FIG. 1 ;
  • FIG. 5 is a front view of another embodiment of a container
  • FIG. 6 is a front view of another embodiment of a container
  • FIG. 7 is a front view of another embodiment of a container
  • FIG. 8 is a front view of yet another embodiment of a container.
  • FIG. 9 is a front view of another embodiment of a container.
  • “visually distinct” phases are regions that can be observed by a viewer as distinctly separate regions in contact with one another. Regions may be visually distinct from each other due to, for example, color differences, shape differences, size differences, or a combination of these.
  • Transparent refers generally to having the property of transmitting light without appreciable scattering so that visually distinct phases lying beyond are seen.
  • Transparent packaging, or at least a portion thereof, has a percent transmittance of light in the visible wavelengths of between about 50% and about 100%.
  • a “visibly clear” composition refers to a composition having a transmission of about 60% or greater, such as about 80% or greater.
  • the transmission of a composition is measured using Ultra-Violet/Visible (UV/VIS) Spectrophotometry, which determines the absorption or transmission of UV/VIS light by a sample.
  • a light wavelength of 600 nm has been shown to be adequate for characterizing the degree of clarity of personal care compositions.
  • the specific instructions associated with the specific spectrophotometer should be followed. In general, the procedure for measuring percent transmittance starts by setting the spectrophotometer to the 600 nm. Then a calibration “blank” is run to calibrate the readout to 100 percent transmittance. The test sample is then placed in a cuvette designed to fit the specific spectrophotometer and the percent transmittance is measured by the spectrophotometer at 600 nm.
  • multi-phased or “multi-phase” as used herein, it is meant that at least two phases of a composition occupy separate and distinct physical spaces inside packaging in which they are stored, but are in direct contact with one another (i.e., they are not separated by a barrier).
  • multi-phased personal care compositions comprising at least two phases are present within a container as a visually distinct pattern. The pattern results from the mixing or homogenization of the multi-phased composition.
  • the patterns include but are not limited to the following examples: striped, marbled, rectilinear, interrupted striped, check, mottled, veined, clustered, speckled, geometric, spotted, ribbons, helical, swirl, arrayed, variegated, textured, grooved, ridged, waved, sinusoidal, spiral, twisted, curved, cycle, streaks, striated, contoured, anisotropic, laced, weave or woven, basket weave, spotted, and tessellated.
  • the pattern is selected from the group consisting of striped, geometric, marbled, and combinations thereof.
  • the striped pattern may be relatively uniform and even across the dimension of the package.
  • the striped pattern may be uneven, i.e. wavy, or may be non-uniform in dimension.
  • the striped pattern does not need to necessarily extend across the entire dimension of the package.
  • the phases may be various different colors, or include particles, glitter or pearlescence.
  • compositions refers to compositions that are intended to include only those compositions for topical application to the hair, skin or other regions of a human or animal body.
  • a personal care product 10 includes a personal care composition 12 contained within packaging, in this example, container 14 .
  • Container 14 includes a dispensing part 16 and a receptacle part 18 to form a containing volume for holding the personal care composition 12 .
  • a closure 15 such as a cap, lid, closable spout, etc. may be connected at the dispensing part 16 to inhibit unintended spillage of the personal care composition from the container 14 .
  • Container 14 in this example, may be referred to as an inverted container in that the dispensing part 16 or closure 15 can also provide a base of the container that can be used to support the container on a surface in an upright, standing position.
  • receptacle part 18 (or an additional component connected to the receptacle part) may be used to form the base or an additional base that can be used to support the container 14 in an upright, standing position.
  • container 14 includes a discrete visual indication area 20 displaying a visually distinct pattern.
  • receptacle part 18 of the container 14 is formed of a transparent material such as a transparent thermoplastic material or transparent glass.
  • a shrink sleeve or wrap 22 (shown in part by FIG. 2 ) envelops at least a portion of the receptacle part 18 by extending about a periphery of the receptacle part as a tube-like flexible sleeve.
  • Shrink sleeve or wrap 22 may be made, for example, from a single film of plastic or may be laminated in two or more layers.
  • Shrink sleeve or wrap 22 may be a pigmented or transparent glossy film which is printed on or in the case of a laminated film, at least one layer of film may be pigmented or printed by the addition of dyes or pigments before or at the point of extruding the laminate.
  • Shrink sleeve or wrap 22 may also be decorated with colors, designs, logos, usage instructions, health and regulatory symbols and warnings, and other written or graphical information. Such decorations may be done by flexo- or gravure-printing, lithography, off-set printing, silk-screening and/or rotary screening.
  • One exemplary method, known as reverse printing is to print colors on the inside (i.e., container-facing side) of a label in order to maintain label glossiness.
  • the shrink sleeve or wrap 22 is formed by forming the plastic film essentially into a tube, preferably by folding the film back upon itself forming a seam, and cutting the tube to form individual sleeves.
  • an area of the transparent receptacle part 18 of the container 14 is obscured or even shielded from view, thus obscuring or even preventing viewing of the composition 12 disposed therein.
  • Visual indication area 20 displays a visually distinct pattern that is bounded by pre-printed or pigmented covering portion 24 that is translucent or opaque.
  • the visual indication area 20 is provided by forming the shrink sleeve 22 having a transparent viewing portion 26 (i.e., a window) that allows for viewing therethrough.
  • a transparent film used to form the shrink sleeve or wrap 22 may have the transparent portion 26 that is not printed or pigmented while adjacent portions are.
  • the visual indication area 20 is provided by removing (e.g., cutting, stamping, etc.) shrink sleeve or wrap 22 material to form the viewing portion 26 or window therethrough, for example, prior to applying the shrink sleeve or wrap 22 to the container 14 .
  • the entire film may be pre-printed or pigmented prior to applying the shrink sleeve or wrap 22 to the container 14 .
  • the illustrated container 14 has a face 28 , a back 30 , sides 32 and 34 extending between the front and the back, a longitudinal axis or centerline 38 and a lateral axis or centerline 40 substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis or centerline.
  • face 28 may include visually pleasing designs, logos, etc.
  • back 30 may include directions, ingredients, etc.
  • Visual indication area 20 has a portion disposed at the face 28 of the container 14 and a portion disposed at the side 32 of the container, overlapping a corner 36 .
  • Visual indication area 20 is offset laterally from the longitudinal centerline 38 and offset longitudinally from the lateral centerline 40 within a lower peripheral quadrant 42 .
  • visual indication area may be located in other quadrants 46 , 48 , 50 and/or may overlap one or both centerlines 38 , 40 .

  • the viewing portion 26 may be sized and arranged to allow for viewing of all the visually distinct phases.
  • FIGS. 3A-3D individually illustrate the face 28 , back 30 and sides 32 , 34 of the container 14 .
  • at least one of the face 28 , back 30 and sides 32 , 34 is nearly or completely opaque due to covering portion 24 .
  • back 30 and side 34 are nearly or completely covered by covering portion 24 of sleeve or wrap 22 .
  • back 30 and side 34 may not be nearly or completely covered by covering portion 24 .
  • face 28 and side 32 each include covering portion 24 and viewing portion 26 .
  • viewing portion 26 of the face 28 may be about 70 percent or less (e.g., about 40 percent or less, about 30 percent or less, about 20 percent or less, about 10 percent or less, about 5 percent or less, between about 0.5 percent and about 70 percent, between about 0.5 percent and about 30 percent, between about 0.5 percent and about 20 percent) of the total surface area of the face while, for example, covering portion 24 covers the remaining surface area.
  • viewing portion 26 of the side 32 may be about 70 percent or less (e.g., about 40 percent or less, about 30 percent or less, about 20 percent or less, about 10 percent or less, about 5 percent or less, between about 0.5 percent and about 70 percent, between about 0.5 percent and about 30 percent, between about 0.5 percent and about 20 percent) of the total surface area of the side 32 while, for example, covering portion 24 covers the remaining surface area.
  • shrink sleeve or wrap 22 is shown removed from the container 14 after the sleeve or wrap 22 has been shrunk onto the container 14 in a flat, laid out state. As can be seen, a majority of the shrink sleeve or wrap 22 includes the covering portion 24 and a minority of the shrink sleeve includes the viewing portion 26 .
  • Viewing portion 26 is in the shape of an oval. Any other suitable shape may be used such as polygons (e.g., squares, rectangles, etc.), circles, irregular shapes, etc. Shapes in the form of objects may also be used.
