Abstract
A package is provided of the type with a tear-away header which is separated from the product contents of the package by a zipper sealed to the interior of the package walls. The space within the header is used to package and an item such as a toy, game card, game token, coupon, or punched foam strip which can be used as a promotional or gift item. In this way, the item packaged within the header is kept separate from the product contents of the package.
Description
- This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) of provisional application Ser. No. 61/083,832 filed on Jul. 25, 2008, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention pertains to a reclosable package or bag with a tear-away header, wherein an object such as, but not limited to, a prize, a toy, a coupon or similar item is packaged within the header and available to the consumer after the header has been removed from the package or bag.
- 2. Description of the Prior Art
- In the prior art of reclosable packages or bags, the use of a tear-away header is well-established. Representative examples of reclosable packages with tear-away headers are disclosed in U.S. patent application publication 2004/0058039, entitled “Reclosable Bag for Filing with Food Product(s) and Method” to Strand et al., published on Mar. 25, 2004; U.S. Pat. No. 6,918,234 entitled “Process for Attaching Slider-Operated Closure on Form-Fill-Seal Packaging Machinery”, issued on Jul. 19, 2005 to Thomas et al.; and U.S. Pat. No. 6,939,041, entitled “Fastener Closure Arrangement for Flexible Packages”, issued on Sep. 6, 2005 to Kinigakis et al.
- In such packages, the header protects the zipper profile and provides tamper evidence.
- Moreover, it is known in the prior art that certain consumer packaged goods have included various small novelty items used to entice a consumer into purchasing the packaged product. Examples include small toys in cereal or candy boxes, including Cracker Jacks boxes. Similarly, it is known to print a coupon on the exterior of a header of a package, so that the coupon is visible to the consumer prior to purchase and prior to the removal of the header.
- However, placing such a toy or other customer take-away into the contents of a reclosable package or bag may not be practical if the reclosable package or bag includes such products as cheese or other oily or powdery products. This could even result in the customer perception that the contents had been contaminated.
- It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a customer takeaway, such as, but not limited to, a toy, a prize, or a coupon, within a reclosable package or bag without the customer takeaway being placed into the product contents of the reclosable package or bag.
- This and other objects are attained by providing a reclosable package or bag with a tear-away header, wherein the customer takeaway is provided within the tear-away header. With this configuration, the customer takeaway can be readily visible to the potential purchaser, thereby possibly even increasing sales of the product.
- Further objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description and from the accompanying drawings, wherein:
-
FIG. 1 is a plan view of a first alternative of the first embodiment of the present invention, including a package with a coupon printed on the inside of the header. -
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view along plane 2-2 ofFIG. 1 . -
FIG. 3 is a plan view of a second alternative of the first embodiment of the present invention, including a package or bag with small toy being contained within the header. -
FIG. 4 is a plan view of a third alternative of the first embodiment of the present invention, including a package or bag with a game token and a folded game card being contained within the header. -
FIG. 5 is a plan view of a fourth alternative of the first embodiment of the present invention, including a package or bag with a toy made from a strip of foam being contained within the header. -
FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of a fifth alternative of the first embodiment of the present invention, including a compartment for a promotional item separated from the zipper. -
FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of a second embodiment of the present invention, including a compartment for a promotional item formed at the upper portion of the package. -
FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view of a third embodiment of the present invention, including a compartment for a promotional item connected to the package. -
