Abstract
Description
- Retail packaging requirements can vary depending on the product being sold as well as the retail environment in which the product is being sold. Factors to consider when products are being sold at big box retailers, for example, include marketing, store presentation and theft reduction. Other factors to consider may include environmental concerns as well as a cost of manufacturing the packaging. For example, some retailers may prefer to limit certain plastic materials in their packaging in an effort to reduce plastic pollution. However, reducing the use of plastic while maintaining suitable product presentation in a cost-effective manner may be difficult.
- Exemplary embodiments include a package assembly. The package assembly includes a sheet precut and folded along scored lines to form a protruding portion defining a cavity within which a product is received and a planar, sealed portion extending from the protruding portion.
- Exemplary embodiments also include a package assembly including a protruding portion defining a cavity within which a product is to be received and a planar, sealed portion extending from the protruding portion. The package assembly includes a sheet including a first portion configured to be folded to form a first side of the package assembly from which the protruding portion extends and a second portion forming a second, planar side of the package assembly opposite the first side of the package assembly, the first portion foldable toward and sealable against the second portion to define the protruding portion and the sealed portion.
- Exemplary embodiments also include a method for assembling a package. The method includes folding a first portion of a sheet along scored lines to form a protruding portion defining a cavity, folding the first portion of the sheet toward a second portion of the sheet, and sealing the first portion against the second portion to fix the protruding portion and form a sealed portion extending from the protruding portion, the sealed portion being substantially planar.

FIG. 7 shows a schematic view of a sheet of material used to form the assembled packing according to the exemplary embodiment ofFIG. 4 . - The exemplary embodiments may be further understood with reference to the following description and the related appended drawings, wherein like elements are provided with the same reference numerals. The exemplary embodiments relate to retail packaging for a product. In particular, exemplary embodiments relate to a packaging assembled via a sheet of material such as, for example, a paper or other plant-based material, configured to be folded and sealed to form a cavity for holding the product. It will be understood by those of skill in the art that although the exemplary embodiments show a packaging assembly having a particular shape and configuration, the sheet of material from which the packaging assembly is formed may be cut and shaped in any of a variety of shapes and sizes to form packaging assemblies including cavities having any of a variety of dimensions and configurations.
- According to one exemplary embodiment, a
package assembly 100, as shown inFIGS. 1-2 , is formed from asheet 102, as shown inFIG. 3 , which may be folded along scoredlines 104, 105, 138 extending along portions thereof so that, when folded and sealed, thepackage assembly 100 forms acavity 106 defined via a protrudingportion 108. Scored lines 104 collectively refers to scoredlines lines FIG. 3 . Thesheet 102 may be formed of paper or other plant-based material. Theprotruding portion 108 is surrounded via a sealedportion 110. Thecavity 106 is sized, shaped and configured to hold and/or display a product. In addition to fixing thecavity 106 in its desired configuration, the sealedportion 110 also provides additional space along which marketing images or information may be printed. - In one embodiment, the
protruding portion 108 protrudes from one side (e.g., a front side) of thepackage assembly 100 so that an opposite side (e.g., a back side) of thepackaging assembly 100 is substantially planar. Theprotruding portion 108 defines an enclosed, substantiallyrectangular cavity 106 that is configured to hold a product therein. In one embodiment, thecavity 106 is sized and shaped to substantially correspond to the product to be received therein. In another embodiment, thepackage assembly 100 further includes additional part(s) such as, for example, inserts and/or a fixing mechanism such as, for example, twist ties or zip ties, that may be received within thecavity 106 along with the product to better hold and present the product therein. These additional parts may be particularly useful when, for example, the product is non-uniform in size (e.g., is smaller than a size of thecavity 106 or does not conform to a shape of the cavity 106). Theprotruding portion 108 may also include anopening 112 extending through a portion thereof so that, when the product is received within thecavity 106, the product is visible to a consumer via theopening 112. The opening 112 may be die cut through thesheet 102 and may have any of a variety of shapes and sizes. The opening 112 may be positioned along any portion of the protrudingportion 108 to display the contents of thecavity 106. In one embodiment, a transparent material such as, for example, a sheet of plastic, may extend over theopening 112 to protect the product within thecavity 106. - As described above, the
package assembly 100 also includes the sealedportion 110 extending about theprotruding portion 108. In one embodiment, thesealed portion 110 extends from three edges of theprotruding portion 108. It will be understood by those of skill in the art, however, that the sealedportion 110 may extend from any edge of theprotruding portion 108 and may have any of a variety of shapes and sizes. The sealedportion 110 is substantially planar to act as a billboard along which marketing material may be printed. The sealedportion 110 also facilitates theft reduction and store presentation. For example, the sealedportion 110 may facilitate receipt of thepackage assembly 100 within a correspondingly sized and shaped opening of a display tray. - The
sheet 102 may be formed of a paper or other plant-based material so as to reduce plastic usage in packaging. In one embodiment thesheet 102 is formed of cardboard and, in particular, a corrugated cardboard. Thesheet 102, however, may include any material so long as thesheet 102 is sufficiently rigid to hold the shape of thecavity 106, once folded and sealed, while also being foldable along scoredlines 104, 105, 138. As shown inFIG. 3 , thesheet 102 is precut to include afirst portion 114 which, when folded along scored lines 104 (depicted via dotted lines), defines the side (e.g., front side) of thepackage assembly 100 from which theprotruding portion 108 extends to define thecavity 106, and asecond portion 116, which defines the opposite planar side (e.g., back side) of thepackage assembly 100. As will be described in further detail below, portions of the first andsecond portions package assembly 100. - In one embodiment, the
first portion 114 includes a substantiallyrectangular face portion 134 and fourside wall portions rectangular face portion 134, form theprotruding portion 108 of thepackage assembly 100. Scoredlines rectangular face portion 134 so that the four side wall portions 136 may be folded relative to therectangular face portion 134 therealong. The side walls 136 are folded along the scored lines 104 untilcorresponding edges 118 definingcorners 120 of thepackage assembly 100 are drawn toward one another to form theprotruding portion 108. In one embodiment, the side walls 136 are also substantially rectangular. It will be understood by those of skill in the art that opposing ones of theside walls rectangular protruding portion 108. It will also be understood by those of skill in the art that the dimensions of therectangular face portion 134 and the side walls 136 determine the dimensions of thecavity 106 defined via theprotruding portion 108. - The
first portion 114 also includesmating portions lines second portion 116, the mating portions 126 a-126 c form the sealedportion 110 of thepackage assembly 100. It will be understood by those of skill in the art that the mating portions 126 are folded relative to corresponding side walls 136 along scored lines 105 in an opposite direction than along the scored lines 104.Interior edges 124 of adjacent mating portions 126 a-126 c are aligned and thefirst portion 114 is folded toward the second portion along scoredline 138 so that the mating portions 126 of thefirst portion 114 may be sealed against thesecond portion 116 to fix the protrudingportion 108 in the desired configuration and to form the sealedportions 110 of thepackage assembly 102. It will be understood by those of skill in the art that a size and shape of each of the mating portions 126 may vary depending on a desired shape, size and configuration of the sealedportion 110. - In one embodiment, the
second portion 116 may have a substantially rectangular shape. It will be understood by those of skill in the art that the dimensions of thesecond portion 116 may vary depending on desired dimensions for theprotruding portion 108 and the sealedportions 110. As shown, thesecond portion 116 and portions of thefirst portion 114 may have rounded corners so that corners of the sealededges 132 of thepackage assembly 100 are also rounded to prevent injury. Although the exemplary embodiments show and describe threemating portions first portion 114 may include four mating portions, each mating portion extending from a corresponding one of the four side walls 136 a-136 d. - It will be understood by those of skill in the art that
exterior edges 128 of mating portions 126 of thefirst portion 114 andedges 130 of thesecond portion 116 will align to form sealededges 132 of thepackage assembly 100. The mating portions 126 may be sealed to thesecond portion 116 via sealing methods including, for example, cold seal, hot seal and hot melt processes. It will be understood by those of skill in the art that prior to sealing the mating portions 126 of thefirst portion 114 with thesecond portion 116, the product and any additional parts (e.g., inserts, ties) for holding the product will be inserted into thecavity 106 for sealing therewithin. - As described above, marketing material including, for example, relevant images and product information, may be printed along the sealed
portion 110. Since, however, the entire exterior of thepackage assembly 102 is comprised of the same sheet material, marketing material may be printed along any portion of thepackage assembly 100, including the protrudingportion 108 and the planar opposite side formed via thesecond portion 116 of thesheet 102. - The
sheet 102 may include any of a variety of shapes and sizes and include scored lines 104 in any of a variety of positions to form a protrudingportion 108 and sealedportion 110 of thepackage assembly 100 having any of variety of dimensions. As described above, thefirst portion 114 of thesheet 102 may also include theopening 112 extending therethrough so that, once folded and sealed to form thepackage assembly 102, theopening 112 extends through the protrudingportion 108. In one embodiment, theopening 112 extends through theface portion 134 of thesheet 102. According to one example, theopening 112 may extend through both theopening 112 and one or more of the side walls 136. As described above, a plastic sheet may be affixed over theopening 112 to cover and/or protect the product received within the formedcavity 106. - It will be understood by those of skill in the art that although the exemplary embodiments show and describe one
sheet 102 for forming thepackage assembly 102, the package assembly may be comprised of one or more sheets. For example, in another embodiment, the first andsecond portions - According to an alternate embodiment, as shown in
FIG. 4 , apackage assembly 100′ may be substantially similar to thepackage assembly 100, as described above, comprising a protrudingportion 108′ defining acavity 106′ and a sealedportion 110′ extending about the protrudingportion 108′ In this embodiment, however, the sealedportion 110′ extends along all four edges of a substantially rectangularly shaped protrudingportion 108′. As also described above with respect to thepackage assembly 100, however, a size and shape of both theprotrusion 108′ and the sealedportion 110′ extending thereabout may vary, as desired. Thus, it will be understood by those of skill in the art, that the protrudingportion 108′ may protrude from any position along a first side (e.g., front) of thepackage assembly 100′ relative to the sealedportion 110′. For example, the protrudingportion 108′ may be centered, left justified, right justified, etc. Thepackage assembly 100′ may be formed by folding and sealing a sheet (not shown) substantially similar to thesheet 102. As will be understood by those of skill in the art, however, a first portion of the sheet for forming thepackage assembly 100′ will include a fourth mating portion so that when folded and sealed, as described above, the sealedportion 110′ extends about each of the four edges of the protrudingportion 108′. - A
package assembly 200, as shown inFIGS. 5-6 , may be substantially similar to the package assembly 100 (or 100′), as described above. Thepackage assembly 200 is assembled by folding asheet 202, as shown inFIG. 7 , along scoredlines mating portions 226 of afirst portion 214 of thesheet 214 with a second portion of thesheet 216 to form a protrudingportion 208 defining acavity 206 in which a product may be received, and a sealedportion 210 surrounding the sealedportion 208. Similarly to thesheet 102, thefirst portion 214—when folded along the scoredlines 204 and sealed against thesecond portion 216 substantially as described above with respect to thesystem 100—defines a side (e.g., front side) of thepackage assembly 200 from which the protrudingportion 208 extends, while thesecond portion 216 defines an opposite side (e.g., back side) that is substantially planar. Rather than including an opening extending through thefirst portion 214, however, thesheet 202 includes anopening 212 extending through thesecond portion 216 so that the product received within thecavity 206 is shown through the planar side of thepackage assembly 200. It will be understood by those of skill in the art that thesheet 202 may be folded along scoredlines package assembly 200 in a substantially similar manner to thepackage assembly 100, as described above. - It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications may be made in the present disclosure, without departing from the spirit or the scope of the disclosure. Thus, it is intended that the present disclosure cover modifications and variations of this disclosure provided they come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalent.
