Abstract
The invention relates to packaging (1) for mailing a chocolate bar, the packaging being designed directly as a postal greeting. The corresponding packaging (1) has a front surface (2) and a bottom surface (5), on top of which a flap (13) rests, so that in principle the chocolate packaging is doubled in the bottom region and thereby reinforcement of the packaging is achieved. The flap (13) is detachably connected to the bottom surface (5) and thus has a closable letter region. On the outer surface of said flap (13), a sender field (20) and a field for declaratory information (17) can be provided.
Description
- The present invention relates to a packaging for a chocolate bar, wherein said packaging serves at least partially for postal purposes.
- Chocolate bars are offered today in different forms of packaging. Conventionally, these are above all chocolate bars that are wrapped in foil and subsequently surrounded in a decorative paper wrapper. The decorative paper wrapper serves substantially only to stimulate the consumer to make a purchase in that corresponding images of portions are placed on the upper surface of said packaging. The reverse side customarily and also preferably contains information on the declarative ingredients corresponding to the requirements of the food regulations.
- Document DE A 101 02 959 furthermore discloses a packaging of a chocolate bar, in which packaging the tongues that are customarily positioned on the reverse side of a chocolate bar and overlap and are adhered together are arranged on the front side. The purpose consists in the fact that this makes it possible for the decorative side of the chocolate to be visible upon opening the packaging of the chocolate bar as opposed to the reverse side, as is customarily the case.
- Furthermore, chocolate bars have recently been marketed the outer wrapping of which is composed out of a cardboard-like material in which the overlaps in the region of the adhesive locations are substantially smaller and thus effect both an aesthetically-improved appearance as well as reduce the amount of materials used.
- In day-to-day life, situations frequently arise in which one would like to send to someone not only a brief posting but would also like to sweeten the message by sending a bar of chocolate along with the message. Typical occasions in which one could send something sweet along with a short greeting are in sending thanks for an invitation, birthday greetings, by way of excuse for having been late or a cancelled arrangement etc. For such purposes, the bar of chocolate must have a special packaging that is suitable for said purposes. Swiss patent document CH 683 904 discloses packaging for a chocolate bar, in which disclosure a part of the packaging can be separated by pulling on it and then used as a postcard. In tourist areas in particular, chocolate is sold that is provided with an external packaging that has decorative image, in particular images of landscapes. Using such landscape images further and correspondingly as a postcard is entirely appealing and ecologically logical. The actual lettering and addressee information are placed on the reverse side that is positioned on the interior side of the chocolate packaging. The solution is cumbersome and accordingly also minimally economically successful because the outer packaging that is otherwise printed only on one side has to be printed on the reverse side as well. The double-sided printing increases the packaging price, in particular also because for postal regulations, a postcard must have a prescribed stability. This in turn means that the entire packaging must be manufactured of the same material and additionally would also logically have to be provided with perforations in order to facilitate a simple separation of the postcard. The patent application, however, moreover mentions the possibility of inserting this postcard between the inner and outer packaging as a virtual cardboard inlay. None of the solutions shown here is suitable, however, for sending the bar of chocolate itself.
- What's more, document JP-A-811 9370 discloses a chocolate shipping package. The chocolate rests in a tray that is fastened onto cardboard. The entirety is then positioned in a wrapper on which one can write, and said wrapper is inserted into a second, transparent plastic wrapper for posting. This solution is complex and requires a packaging that is entirely different in nature from known packaging, said different packaging also needing to be taken into consideration in the manufacture of the chocolate as well.
- The problem addressed by the present invention is therefore that of creating a packaging for a bar of chocolate of the previously mentioned type that requires no additional, complicated packaging changes and thus can practically be processed in today's fully-automatic packaging lines.
- This problem solves the packaging of a bar of chocolate with the features of
claim 1. Additional advantageous embodiments of the subject matter of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims, and their meaning and mode of functioning will be explained in the following description with use of the appended drawing. - It is shown in:
-
FIG. 1 the development drawing of a packaging according to the invention with a view of the surfaces that are positioned on the exterior during use; -
FIG. 2 the same packaging with a view of the surfaces that are positioned in the interior during use; -
FIG. 3 the packaging in an intermediate stage in which it is swung open to facilitate writing upon the flap; -
FIG. 4 the bar of chocolate, which is ready for shipping, in the packaging according to the invention with a view of the reverse side. - Formally, the appearance of a chocolate bar packaged in a packaging according to the invention is no different from a conventionally packed bar of chocolate, as can be seen in
FIG. 4 . The packaging, the entirety of which is designated withreference sign 1, has the conventional slab-like shape with slightly inclined longitudinal and width edges. This view of the packaging differs practically not at all from a conventional packaging with the exception that in the preferred embodiment form shown here, the reverse side is double surfaced since aflap 13 rests upon abottom surface 5, thereby considerably increasing the rigidity of the bottom side of the packaging, which is particularly advantageous for supporting the bar of chocolate during shipping. - Although the packaging is suited for chocolate in particular, other lasting foodstuffs that are present in bar-form, such as gingerbread [Lebkuchen] or slices of hard cheese can be packaged and shipped in such a manner.
- A particularly preferred embodiment of the subject matter of the invention is shown in
FIG. 1 . Here, thepackaging 1 according to the invention is shown with a view of surfaces that are positioned externally during use. Thefront sides 2 are attached all around to thelongitudinal edge surfaces 3 as well as to thewidth edge surfaces 4, the respective thicknesses of which roughly correspond to the thickness of a chocolate bar. Thebottom surface 5 is integrally formed and connected by the onelongitudinal edge surface 3. The lateraladhesive tongues 7 are connected to both of thewidth edge surfaces 4. In conclusion, thebottom surface 5 has a yet another longitudinal adhesive tongue 6 that, in the packaged end state, is adhered to a longitudinaladhesive tongue region 19, that is part of aflap 13 in the in the solution according to the invention of the form shown here. The lateraladhesive tongues 7 connect, in the assembled state, thefront surface 2 with thebottom surface 5 by means of the correspondingwidth edge surfaces 4. - The noteworthiness of the
packaging 1 according to the invention shown here rests primarily in the fact that thefront surface 2 is provided with an address field similar to an aerogram or a postcard, in such a manner that the address information of the addressee can be written in. Preferably, a printedbar 9 runs above theaddress field 8, on which bar apostage field 11 is present that is clearly visible. Thispostage field 11 can be provided with an already printed postage stamp. This is entirely logical since a chocolate packaging is conventionally composed of high-gloss paper and consequently postage stamps with water-soluble adhesive thereon do not adhere as favourably. However, in the use of self-adhesive postage stamps, this problem does not present itself. In order to solve this problem, however, the region of thepostage field 11 can, for example, be provided with a special coating to which postage stamps with water-soluble adhesive can also adhere well. - In addition, a
message 10 can be pre-printed on thisfront side 2 in the printedbar 9. Depending on the nature of thismessage 10, the purpose or the reason for the posting of the chocolate bar is practically indicated. Correspondingly, such messages can consist of a single phrase, such as, for example, “Thank you”, “Sorry”, “Congratulations”, “My apologies” etc. In a simplest solution, it is possible, in theory, for theaforementioned flap 13 to be absent and each part of the packaging can theoretically end with a longitudinaladhesive tongue 19. In this case, asender field 20 would be provided on thebottom surface 5 and the regulatorydeclaratory information 17 regarding the ingredients of the packaged chocolate would also be given on thebottom side 5. However, such is not the case in present instance as is shown inFIGS. 1-4 . Here, thebottom surface 5 is designed as aletter surface 21. Thisletter surface 21 is covered by theflap 13 in the posting-ready state. In this solution, thesender field 20 and thedeclaratory information 17 are now printed on the external side of thisflap 13. Thisflap 13 is provided with a longitudinaladhesive tongue region 19 that on the top abuts thebottom surface 5 and is adhered thereto. This longitudinaladhesive tongue region 19 is separated from theactual flap 13 by afold 12. Theflap 13 can swing around thisfold 12. The interior side of theflap 13 is provided with an adhesive field 16. Here, this adhesive field 16 is applied as an adhesive strip. In theory, theconnection 13 with thebottom surface 5 can be realised with any adhesive material 14 whatsoever. In this manner, the adhesive means can also be, instead of an adhesive field 16, an adhesive tongue 15 that is in the form of a rondelle, for example. It makes no difference whether the adhesive means 14 is realised as a rondelle-shaped adhesive tongue 15 or as an adhesive strip 16, while it is indeed imperative that the adhesive means be realised preferably as an unconditionally sticking adhesive so that the flap can be opened and closed numerous times. A different solution to the problem addresses consists in the fact that, for example, the adhesive field 16 is realised as a strip of a self-adhesive strip that is then covered with a film that is first removed upon the definitive connection of theflap 13 with thebottom surface 5. So that the adhesive means can be recognisable as the adhesive field 16, for example, theflap 13, which is shown with its internal side visible inFIG. 3 , is here, too, designed as aletter surface 21, and can be correspondingly ruled, for example. - In particular, in the use of the packaging according to the invention in tourist areas, the packaging can also be decorated with regional images. The
flap 13 can also be printed with a vacation topic. In this manner, the individual who receives the chocolate can now removed theflap 13 and can post it to the sender as a postcard or greeting card in order to express thanks. In this case, thefold 12 is preferably additionally provided with perforations in order to make an easy removal possible. - The great advantage of the solution according to the invention consists in the fact that in order to post a bar of chocolate, the consumer no longer needs first to go to a store to purchase a bar of chocolate, take it home, package, label, and place postage on it, and finally go to the post office, but rather in that the consumer need only purchase the bar of chocolate that is already packaged and ready for posting, and merely write in a mailing address and a recipient's name, and write a few friendly lines if so desired. Chocolate packaged in such a manner is particularly suitable for sale directly at the post office or in vacation locations, in particular, at the kiosks, grocery stores, and at hotel reception desks. In particular, the solution with an additional flap on the reverse side increases the possibilities of using the chocolate in a manner similar to that of postcard. However, with an enlarged writing area that is moreover sealable and thus not externally visible.
- Finally, it is also possible to insert a letter or a piece of cardboard for additionally rigidity between the
flap 13 and thebottom surface 5. For this purpose, a catching recess can also be provided on the longitudinal edge of the flap in order to make it easier to introduce or remove this insert more easily. - Slits can also be provided in the flap in order to secure a small card, such as a customer card, for example.
