Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a reclosable package and a method for preparing a reclosable package, according to the preamble of present claims 1 and 15 .
  • a reclosable package comprising a cavity for storing products arranged within a container, surrounding the cavity, the container extending along a longitudinal direction and having a back side and a front side joined to each other at longitudinal sides parallel to the longitudinal direction and further having an upper side and a bottom side, both extending along intersecting directions to said longitudinal direction, wherein a zipper is arranged at one of either the upper side or the bottom side of the container, the other one of the upper side or the bottom side being permanently sealed, the zipper reversibly connecting two closure parts of the container, wherein respective end portions of the two closure parts of the container are sealed to each other as a sealed closure, the sealed closure being folded flat and attached to either the front side or the back side of the container before the first opening of the reclosable package, wherein, before said first opening of the reclosable package, a tear-off strip is arranged between the zipper and the sealed closure, the tear-off strip connecting unsealed first and second portions of each of the two closure parts of the container.
  • the combination of the zipper closure and the tear-off strip provides comfort to the user both at first and further openings. Moreover, a reliable closure device in form of the zipper is combined with a tamper-evident closure in form of the tear-off strip. Attaching the sealed closure together with the end portions of the two closure parts to the container keeps the shape of the package handy and compact.
  • the two closure parts are to be understood as extending only from the zipper to their end portions at the sealed closure. It is preferred that the reclosable package is free from portions where a portion of one of the two closure parts is oriented opposite to another portion of the one of the two closure parts.
  • the two closure parts only comprise one single folding according to which one of the closure parts is arranged as being in contact with the upper side or the bottom side as well as with the front side or the back side.
  • the unsealed first and second portions of each of the two closure parts of the container are located between the end portions of the two closure parts and the zipper.
  • the tear-off strip has to be removed and the zipper has to be opened such that the two closure parts of the container can be moved away from each other and form an opening of the container.
  • the tear-off strip is free of contact to both the zipper and the sealed closure. This applies to both the state before the first opening and the state after the first opening and provides enough free space to remove the tear-off strip at the first opening without being affected by the presence of the zipper and/or the sealed closure and without damaging the zipper and/or the sealed closure.
  • the state of the sealed closure is not affected by removing the tear-off strip and/or by opening the zipper.
  • the sealed closure remains attached to the front side or the back side after the first opening.
  • a longitudinal extension of the zipper is arranged running in parallel to a width direction of the container.
  • the longitudinal extension of the zipper represents an opening direction of the zipper (a direction along which the zipper is openable).
  • the width direction of the container is running perpendicular towards the longitudinal direction of the container and/or running perpendicular towards a height direction of the container.
  • a total width of the container measured along its width direction is smaller than a total length of the container measured along its longitudinal direction.
  • a total height of the container measured along its height direction is smaller than the total width of the container measured along its width direction.
  • the zipper is preferably arranged parallel to the extension having a medium length. The dimension of the zipper can thus be chosen to be big enough to allow products to be taken out of the container and small enough to allow for economic design of the package.
  • the longitudinal extension of the zipper is arranged running in parallel to a longitudinal extension of the sealed closure and/or to a longitudinal extension of the tear-off strip.
  • the zipper, the sealed closure and the tear-off strip are preferably arranged running in parallel towards each other.
  • the distance between the zipper and the tear-off strip as well as the distance between the tear-off strip and the sealed closure have the same value over the longitudinal extension and can thus be kept small.
  • the design of the package is noticed as being uniform.
  • a length of the zipper exceeds a length of the tear-off strip and/or the length of the tear-off strip exceeds a length of the sealed closure.
  • the length of the zipper is equal to or smaller than the total width of the container.
  • the length of the tear-off strip and/or the length of the sealed closure is smaller than the total width of the container.
  • the length of the tear-off strip in a medium level ensures that the length is large enough to provide safe closure and small enough to be quickly teared up.
  • flavouring source is arranged within the cavity.
  • This flavouring source is suitable for flavouring the items stored in the reclosable package.
  • cigarettes stored in such a package could be flavoured by a menthol flavouring source.
  • the zipper is a safety zipper comprising a locking device for securing a closed state of the zipper. If items are stored within the package which could pose a risk for certain persons, for example, for children, a safety zipper prevents the items from being taken out of the package by said persons if not a certain safety mechanism has been overcome.
  • the zipper comprises a first and a second side part, reversibly connectable towards each other, wherein each of the first and the second side part of the zipper is secured to one of the two closure parts of the container.
  • the zipper comprises a slider, reversibly connecting the first and the second side part of the zipper. By moving the slider along the opening direction of the zipper, the zipper is opened or closed.
  • the first side part of the zipper comprises a first profile and the second side part of the zipper comprises a second profile, wherein the first and the second profile are adapted to interlock with each other.
  • the first profile comprises a first shape and the second profile comprises a second shape.
  • the first shape is different from the second shape.
  • the first shape is complementary to the second shape.
  • a cross section of the first shape, perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of the zipper comprises a convex portion having a first diameter.
  • a cross section of the second shape, perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of the zipper comprises a concave portion having a second diameter.
  • the first diameter is equal to the second diameter.
  • the first profile and the second profile each comprise a plurality of slits, extending perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of the zipper and/or being evenly distributed over a length of the first and second profile.
  • the slits represent material recesses which are able to modify a sound being generated by the opening process or by the closing process of the zipper when the two profiles are separated from each other or connected to each other.
  • a zipper with an individual opening sound for a specific product.
  • the items stored in the package are items having a technical image (like screws or nuts)
  • the opening sound could resemble the sound of a motor.
  • the items stored in the package are items for beauty care (like cotton buds or artificial fingernails)
  • the opening sound could be a smooth ringing sound.
  • the opening sound can serve as an audible warning signal for parents, if a child tries to open the package storing dangerous or children forbidden items.
  • the opening sound and the closing sound are different. This could be achieved by providing slits along the opening direction of the zipper, wherein the shape of at least one of the slits is different from the shape of at least one of the following slits. Moreover, it is possible that the distance between two adjacent slits varies over the length of the first or second profile.
  • the container comprises two halves being fin-sealed to each other at said longitudinal sides, and that the container comprises the one of said upper or bottom side that is free from a zipper.
  • the two halves are identical to each other. Thus, the number of individual parts necessary for manufacturing the container is low, which reduces costs.
  • the container is made of a foil material, preferably a metallized foil material.
  • This foil material could be a plastics foil, or a paper slice coated with a metal layer like an aluminum layer.
  • the foil material is airtight which helps preserving the flavour or the quality of goods or perishable goods like food or cigarettes.
  • the foil material is a flexible foil material. This makes it possible to store items by applying a vacuum to the container after filling.
  • the package further comprises an outer packaging, surrounding the container, wherein the outer packaging is made of cardboard.
  • the outer packaging can be made stable and at the same time produced in an environmentally friendly manner.
  • the reclosable package also comprises a reinforcing element filled into the container.
  • This reinforcing element is preferably made of cardboard.
  • the object of the present invention is also solved by a method for preparing a reclosable package
  • a zipper which is free from a slider and comprises a first and a second side part, wherein the first and the second side part of the zipper are reversibly connectable to each other.
  • step ( 104 ) includes securing each of the first and the second side part of the zipper to one of the two closure parts of the container by gluing, sometimes followed by applying heat after gluing.
  • a reinforcing element is filled into the tube before performing step ( 106 ).
  • This reinforcing element is preferably made of a reinforcing plate element and ensures that the products retain their shape. Moreover, it helps that the fin seals can be flatted at the sides and the sealed closure can be pressed for attachment to the front or back side of the container.
