Definitions

  • This invention relates to printed packaging sleeves or banders, and particularly to the production of such sleeves e g for packaging products for presentation in a store, or supermarket, particularly food items Background to the Invention
  • the production method includes printing several designs, usually in colour, of a design for one food item to be packaged on one side of a large sheet of carton board transferring the printed sheet to a cutting and creasing press to indent creases and cut out individual blanks for the sleeves, transferring the sleeve blanks to a gluing machine which folds the blanks along the creases and glues co-operating edges together to produce finished sleeves
  • a production method has many disadvantages, as follows -
  • va ⁇ ous forms of sleeve and bander are applied to a pre-packaged product requiring two packing processes and two lots of packaging mate ⁇ al
  • the reel of packaging material is printed on both sides with different language versions of the same design set
  • the packaging material is paper Paper is significantly cheaper than carton board, easier to manipulate in printing equipment and reels are smaller per unit length of material
  • the sleeve is held in place around the container by frictional forces due to the natural elasticity of the sleeve mate ⁇ al Paper is an ideal substrate for this
  • one reel of paper can provide a number of different design sets, e g each set can comprise a picture of one particular food item with information and instructions in a different language, in which case the one reel could be used to pack a large number of the same food items with a range of different languages, depending upon the different countries to be exported to
  • the food items are sealed prior to being fitted with their sleeves
  • a further object of this invention is to provide an alternative method which avoids pre-sealing
  • the packed products are presented at the packing station in unsealed containers and the continuous web of sealed paper is additionally sealed around the container mouth
  • Figures 1A and 1B show the underside and topside of a reel of paper with a printing arrangement for food items, or other products
  • Figure 2 is a schematic view of a cut reel feeding a continuous web to a packing station for sleeving a sealed food tray
  • Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 2 for sleeving an open food tray
  • a reel of paper 1 is printed with a number of design sets each comprising a column 2 defined by the dotted parallel lines 3 of repeating designs 4
  • the design sets have been arranged for distribution of one particular food item mainly in the UK with smaller volumes to be exported to five other European countries
  • five columns of identical design sets are printed across the width of the reel 1 on the underside thereof, whilst one design set column is provided for each of the European languages on the topside
  • the printing of the columns and design sets on respective sides of the reel are in register
  • other design set arrangements can be printed according to requirements e g they can cover a range of different food items with information in the same language
  • the width of each column can be varied according to the width of different sleeves to be produced from the reel Following printing, both sides of the paper are provided with a protective coating, e g a UV Varnish, or clear PVC, in a manner known per se Spaces or gaps can be provided in the
  • the packing machine has a packing station to which sealed pre-packed food items 6 are fed singly, e g by a conveyor belt (not shown) to which a required design set of a smaller reel 5 is fed as a continuous web 7
  • Such food items are typically sealed by a polyethylene or polypropylene film over the top of the food container 6 and heat-sealed around the edge
  • Each design repeat of the design set on the web is defined by a register mark 8 (see Figure 1)
  • the end of the web 7 is passed around the product 6 at the packing station cut and the co- operating edges fixed together e g by glue, at the location marked by the arrow 8A This operation can be completed either by hand or, if the volumes are sufficient, automatically by use of suitably designed guide and timing devices known per se
  • the sleeve can be glued to the carton itself at one end, wound around the carton and the other end of the sleeve attached to the first end This provides a stable sleeve that will not slip around the carton and is also prevented from sliding along its length
  • a second aspect of the invention is particularly applicable to food items in open trays 6 that need to be sealed
  • the method is basically the same as described above, but includes the further operation of additionally sealing the printed web 7 to the mouth of open trays 6 fed to the packing station
  • that part of the sleeve produced extending around the sides and bottom of the tray can be readily torn off, if not required, with the aid of lines 9 of perforations formed during the production of the paper reels and extending across the width of the webs at appropriate, longitudinally spaced, positions
  • the face of the sleeve which is in contact with the food is laminated with a food-compatible plastics material such as polyethylene or polypropylene
  • a heat sealant such as polyvinyl indene chloride (PVDC)
  • PVDC polyvinyl indene chloride
  • the sieeve may be sealed to the mouth of the container, wrapped around the container then glued to its side That is to say the sleeve need not completely encircle the carton
  • the term sleeve therefore encompasses a bander which partly encircles a carton and which is adhered in some way to the carton to keep it in place
  • the sleeves can be formed separately from the container, around a former for example and then slipped over the container in a separate operation

Abstract

Procédé de production et d'application de pochettes d'emballage imprimées consistant à: (i) imprimer une pluralité d'ensembles de motifs sur les deux côtés d'un rouleau de matériau d'emballage souple, chaque ensemble comprenant le même motif répété qui s'étend sous forme d'une colonne sur la longueur du matériau d'emballage, les motifs situés des deux côtés du matériau d'emballage étant alignés; (ii) souder les côtés imprimés avec un revêtement protecteur adapté à l'utilisation avec des produits alimentaires; (iii) couper le rouleau pour séparer les colonnes afin d'obtenir des ensembles ayant le même motif: (iv) transférer chaque rouleau coupé de manière appropriée à une machine d'emballage pour qu'il soit envoyé, sous forme d'une bande continue, à une unité d'emballage; (v) enrouler la bande autour d'un récipient respectif de produit emballé, la face imprimée désirée se trouvant à l'extérieur; (vi) couper dans la bande la partie de matériau enroulée autour du récipient de produit emballé et fixer ensemble les bords concourants, alors que le matériau est maintenu tendu, pour former une pochette.
