Definitions
- the consumer is also prone to select an incorrect width because a package which contains an item such as masking tape having a width of 1/2 inch is often out of place and among a group of packages where the item, for example masking tape, is 3%; of an inch wide.
- Another object of this invention is to enable the merchandiser to immediately detect packages which have an item therein whose width differs from the width of the items in a group of packages with which the first item is placed.
- this invention contemplates a package comprising a front wall, a back wall, and at least two side walls, said side walls connecting said front and said back wall to one another, all of said walls defining a cavity for enclosing an article therein, an article of substantially constant width disposed in said cavity, said package having on at least one wall a simulation of the width of said article within said package.
- FIGURE 1 is an isometric view of a package according to this invention.
- FIGURE 2 is a side elevational view of the package of FIGURE l;
- FIGURE 3 is a plan view of another embodiment of this invention.
- FIGURE 4 is a side View of the embodiment of FIG- URE 3;
- FIGURE 5 is an isometric View of another embodiment of this invention.
- FIGURE 6 is an isometric view of still another embodiment of this invention.
- FIGURE l shows one package of this invention.
- An envelope 2 comprises a front wall 4, a back wall 6, and two side walls 8 and 10 respectively.
- the side walls 8 and 10 connect the front wall 4 to the back wall 6.
- An article 12, rolled up upon itself, such as tape, is disposed within the envelope 2.
- a stripe 14 extends across the front wall 4 of the package and across side wall 8.
- the stripe 14 has a -width substantially identical to the width of the article 12.
- the stripe 14 extends across the front wall 4 of the envelope 2 and across the side wall ⁇ 8. In this manner, a consumer need only look at either the face (front wall 4) or a wall of the package to observe the actual width of the rolled article 12.
- FIGURE 2 is a stack of packages of FIGURE 1 with one package, according to this invention, out of place.
- the envelope 18 which is out of place, has a stripe 22 extending across the side wall 20.
- the stripe 22 is narrower than the stripe 14 thereby indicating to the consumer that the envelope 18 contains an article whose width differs from the width of the articles contained in the stack of envelopes 2.
- the stripe 14 is of a color contrasting with the color of the front wall 4 and the side wall 8. Moreover, the stripe need not be a continuous one but may be an interrupted stripe (not shown).
- FIGURE 3 shows another embodiment of the invention.
- a stripe 30 extends diagonally across the front wall 32 of the package 34 and across (FIGURE 4) the side wall 36 of the package 34.
- the stripe may extend across one or both side walls and/or across the front wall of the package or envelope. Moreover, the stripe may extend across only the front wall or side wall, only the back wall or both the front and 4back walls and/ or side walls of the envelope or package.
- the stripe itself may take numerous forms. It may -be a stripe composed of elongated letters of the proper height (not shown). Furthermore, the same type of printing ink may be used for the stripe as is used for the face of the package, or alternatively, the texture of the stripe may differ from the texture of the front wall and/or the side wall of the package, if the stripe is to extend across the side of the package. This may be accomplished by using a printing ink and/or method of printing which would give a smooth or rough surface, whichever is desired.
- a package 40 has a face 42, a back 44, and two side walls 46 and 48 respectively.
- the stripe ⁇ 50 is not printed on the package 40 itself. Instead, the stripe is printed on a transparent overwrap 52 in which the package 40 is encased. It will be noted that the stripe 50, which is printed on the overwrap 52, extends across the open end of the package 40 between side walls 46 and 48.
- FIGURE 6 illustrates another embodiment of the invention.
- a package 60 comprises a front wall 62, a back wall (not shown) and side walls 64 and 66 (two other side walls not shown).
- side walls 64 and 66 two other side walls not shown.
- the stripe whose width is the same as the width of the article ⁇ within the package, is in the form of a tear strip V68.
- the tear strip 68 has a tab 70 extending from the package.
- the tab 70 is also of a width which is the same as the width of the article within the package 60. In this manner, the stripe serves to open the package 60 as well as to indicate the width of the article within the package.
- a stripe may be disposed across a socalled blister pack.
- lblister pack is meant a package wherein an article is disposed on a card and. a plastic covering over the article is secured to the card, either adhesively or in some other manner.
- the blister pack would also have a face and at least two side walls, although the exact point at which the side walls and face began and ended would be discernible with ditiiculty.
- the stripe may also be printed on a box which has four sidewalls such as a tuck flap box or a box which has a top Wall hingedly secured to either the front or back walls and adhesively or otherwise secured to one of the other walls so as to close up the top and bottom of the package.
- the package may also comprise an envelope.
- envelope is meant a container which is formed from a strip of packaging material having two ends and wherein the ends are adhesively secured to one another.
- the stripe may be printed on the container which is used to ship a plurality of packages according to this invention as well as on the packages Within the container themselves.
- the various packages which are used may also be modified by having a window (not shown) inserted in the package to view the contents of the package as well as the stripe.
- the package is useful for enclosing numerous articles such as articles rolled up upon themselves for example tape; articles which are in the form of layers such as ribbons; and numerous other articles which will ⁇ be apparent to one skilled in the art.
- an article receiving container of a substantially rectangular configuration having a relatively narrow thickness adapted to receive a reel of tape therein whose diameter is smaller than the width of said container and whose thickness is slightly less than the thickness of said container, a stripe defining approximately the width of the contained tape being entrained about said container at approximately the midpoint thereof and extending over at least one of the walls dening the thickness of said container whereby when a plurality of random-width tape containers are positioned in a stack having an aligned vertical face, the exposed stripes are vertically aligned to display the tape width in each container for identication.
