Definitions
- the invention relates to a packaging for a data carrier with a holder in which the data carrier can be received in order to keep it safely.
- Data carriers are primarily understood to mean optical data carriers such as compact discs (CD) or digital versatile discs (DVD).
- CD compact discs
- DVD digital versatile discs
- the invention is not limited to this, the data carriers can also have other shapes, for example rectangular or square shapes.
- Packaging of the aforementioned type for example CD packaging, is conventionally made from a mostly transparent plastic into which the data carrier is inserted. Labeling of the packaging is only possible through an insert, usually made of paper, which is visible through the transparent plastic.
- a packaging is known from WO 99/35648 which is made entirely of a cardboard material and thus has special optical and environmentally compatible properties.
- the fastening element for holding the data carrier is also made exclusively of cardboard material.
- WO 99/35648 further discloses that the packaging can be printed in order to be designed in a special way. After printing, the data carrier is inserted into the packaging and then sold as a ready-to-sell product in the form of a music CD or a film DVD.
- CD packaging is known in which the holder consists of a cardboard material onto which a conventional plastic profile is glued. This may 'then a CD to be pressed until it snaps on the elastic middle section. So it is a combination of a cardboard material and a plastic material.
- the optical storage media are not only known as prefabricated sales goods, but also as single or multiple writable data carriers, for example as floppy disks, CD-Rs, CD-RWs, DVD + RWs and DVD-RWs, to name just a few.
- the end user can write data on the data carrier at his own choice and uses the conventional packaging as a storage and stacking medium. As mentioned above, these are usually made of a transparent plastic and a self-printed paper insert can be inserted into the packaging.
- the packaging can therefore only be individually designed to a limited extent, since the outside, in particular the outside surface, is predetermined.
- a template in which a CD or DVD is inserted and which can be inserted into a printer together with the CD or DVD so that the surface of the CD or DVD can be printed.
- a data carrier can be printed on itself, but the packaging remains behind, since it can only be designed in a conventional manner - as explained above.
- it is a complex process to use a separate stencil, which is only suitable for certain printer types.
- the present invention is therefore based on the technical problem of specifying packaging that can be individually designed in a simple manner.
- the packaging is suitable for any data carrier and has the following features: a holder made of a printable material, at least one recess arranged on the inside of the holder, in which the data carrier is arranged, the depth of the recess being essentially the thickness of the data carrier corresponds and the surface of the data carrier has a printable surface at least in sections.
- the packaging can be individually printed together with the data carrier in one printing operation and thus a uniform and at the same time individual appearance of both the packaging and the data carrier is made possible. If after a first printing process in which the inside of the packaging and the data carrier have been printed, the back of the packaging is also printed in the same way, a packaging with a data carrier with an individual external design is created. Of course, the back can also be printed first and then the inside together with the data carrier.
- a packaging for a data carrier having the following features: a holder made of 'a printable material and at least one disposed on an inner surface of the mounting recess for receiving a data carrier, wherein a frame is provided which surrounds the holder and to which the holder is connected at least in sections.
- the packaging can be printed better and in particular up to the outermost edge, regardless of whether a data carrier is arranged in the recess, if the frame is provided.
- the frame is not part of the packaging itself, but is only connected to the packaging until the end of the printing process.
- the packaging is then separated from the frame and the individually printed packaging remains.
- the frame serves as a guide and a transport within the printer.
- the two inventions explained above are applied together. If the packaging has both a data carrier in the recess and a frame is connected to the packaging, the result is a product that combines the advantages of simultaneously pressing the data carrier and packaging and pressing the packaging all the way to the outer edge. Further features and advantages of the present invention are presented in the subclaims and in the following description of exemplary embodiments, reference being made to the attached drawing. Show in the drawing.
- Fig. 9 shows a third embodiment of a packaging according to the invention.
- FIG. 10 shows several stages of the manufacturing process of a packaging according to the invention.
- FIG. 1 to 4 show a first exemplary embodiment of a packaging according to the invention for a data carrier 2, which in the present case is designed as an optical data carrier, in particular as a CD.
- the packaging has a holder 4 made of a printable material, the printable sections of the holder 4 being shown with a shade of gray.
- a recess 6 is arranged on the inner surface of the holder 4 in order to accommodate the data carrier 2. 1, 3 and 4 show, the data carrier 2 is arranged in the recess.
- the recess 6 has a depth which essentially corresponds to the thickness of the data carrier 2 and the surface of the data carrier 2 has a printable surface 8 in sections.
- Both the surface of the holder 4 and the surface 8 of the data carrier 6 are printable and the depth of the recess 6 corresponds essentially to the thickness of the data carrier 2, so that the surface 8 and the surface of the holder 4 lie essentially in one plane.
- the packaging 4 can be introduced into a printer together with the data carrier 2. This must of course leave sufficient space to print on a packaging with a thickness in the range of 2 mm or more.
- the packaging can also be printed on the back facing away from the data carrier 2. This page is shown in Fig. 2.
- the printable areas are shown with a shade of gray.
- a short title or summary can be printed on the middle narrow area, which will later be the back of the folded packaging.
- a second embodiment of the present invention is shown.
- no data carrier is arranged in the recess, but a frame 10 is provided which surrounds the holder 4 and to which the holder 10 is connected at least in sections.
- This configuration has the advantage that the holder 4 can also engage, guide and move over the frame 10 during the printing process.
- leadership roles are used, among other things Engage the frame 10 from above and below and hold and move it under pressure.
- the actual printing area, the holder 4, is not limited by the fact that it cannot be printed to the very edge. On the contrary, the holder 4 can even be printed in the area of the frame to ensure that the entire holder 4 is printed.
- the data carrier 2 can be coated with a printable layer 8.
- the printability itself is only established since, for example, the material of a CD or a DVD cannot be printed directly with conventional printers.
- the data carrier can be coated with an emulsion, in particular with a paper emulsion, so as to form a printable layer which is directly connected to the surface of the data carrier 2.
- a sticker in particular a paper sticker, can also be stuck on in a suitable form.
- paper instead of paper as the base material for the printable layer, other materials can also be used.
- a plastic whose surface can be printed can also be used.
- the data carrier itself can be directly printable, for example when the data carrier has an envelope. This is the case with conventional floppy disks, for example.
- the holder 4 itself can consist of a cardboard or paper material, so that the holder 4 itself can also be printed directly. It is also possible To produce holder 4 from a directly printable plastic, so that no paper or cardboard surface is necessary.
- a surface coating made of a photo paper This enables a very good print quality to be achieved with conventional inkjet printers, for example.
- all other types of printers for example thermal printers or laser printers, are also suitable if a paper surface is selected that can be easily printed on with the respective printer.
- the exemplary embodiments shown consist of a two-ply cardboard material.
- a blank is punched out of a cardboard template, and a packaging according to the invention is produced by folding, gluing and punching again.
- FIGS. 1 to 4 and 5 to 8 each have a holder 4 with a front side 12 and a rear side 14.
- the inside 16 of the back 14 has the recess 6 and the front 12 is articulated to the back 14.
- the front side 12 is therefore suitable for covering the inside 16 of the rear side 14. This creates a book-like shape (booklet) that can be opened and closed in a similar way to typical CD packaging.
- Optical data carriers such as CD or DVD are round and have a centrally arranged opening 20.
- a fastening element 22 in the middle of the likewise circular recess 6, the outer diameter of which is adapted to the inner diameter of the opening 20.
- the fastening element 22 preferably consists of the same material as the holder 4, but it can also optionally consist of a different material. It is also not necessary for the surface of the fastening element 22 to be printable.
- the fastening element 22 can thus also be a conventional fastening element made of plastic with elastic elements, which merely has to meet the condition of not protruding upward from the plane of the surface of the data carrier.
- the fastener 22 is also not mandatory. Because if the round recess 4 has an inner diameter which is adapted to the outer diameter of the data carrier 2, the data carrier 2 can be held along the circumferential outer edge by the inner edge of the recess 4 and thus fastened. The fastening element 22 explained above is then not required for this.
- the data carrier 2 ' can also have a rectangular, in particular square, shape, the recess 6' then having a shape which is adapted to the external shape of the data carrier 4 '.
- the third exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 9 is the same in all other features as explained above and below.
- 10A to 10D show the production of a packaging which represents a combination of the first two exemplary embodiments according to FIGS. 1 to 4 and 5 to 8.
- the printable packaging has both the data carrier and the frame. This combines all the advantages described above.
- the 10A forms the starting point of the method.
- the shape shown is punched out from a cardboard template.
- the dimension of the outer contour 24 is greater than twice the dimension of the outer contour 26 of the holder 4 with the frame 10, as will become clear later.
- the other contours 28a and 28b are also punched through the cardboard material and each represent the outer shape of the holder 4. Only a few places have smaller material webs that connect the holder to the frame 10. Perforation, in particular microperforation, is also possible. This makes it easier to later remove the holder 4 from the frame 10 without the outer edge of the holder 4 having strong traces of the previous connection to the frame.
- the punched-out portion 28a shown in FIG. 10A has two perpendicular grooves 30 which are not completely embossed through the cardboard material.
- the grooves 30 serve for later folding over of the holder and can be seen in FIGS. 3 and 7. Between the grooves 30 is the section that follows folding the holder 4 forms the back of the book-like packaging.
- the cut-out 28b shown at the bottom in FIG. 10A has two cut-outs 32 and 34 which are essentially adapted to the shape of a CD.
- the punch 32 essentially represents the outer contour of the CD and the punch 34 represents the inner contour of the CD.
- the material arranged between the contours 32 and 34 thus represents a disk 36 made of cardboard, which is removed later in the process.
- the material of the later fastening element 22 is arranged within the punching 34.
- the two upper and lower parts of the punch 24 represent two layers which are glued together in the next process step.
- an adhesive is applied to the areas shown hatched in FIG. 10A. Then the two parts are folded along the fold 42 and glued together.
- IOC shows the method step in which the intermediate product shown in FIG. 10B is punched again along the dashed line 46. This gives the product its final external shape, the frame 10 and continues to delimit the bracket 4. This product is shown in Figure 10D.
- the disk 36 is next removed and a data carrier 2 is inserted into the resulting recess 6 (see FIGS. 1 to 9).
- the product can be sold to the end user, who then carries out the printing process individually.
- the areas of the inside of the holder to be printed during the printing process are marked with a gray shade in FIG. 10D.
- the web 40 provided between the inside 18 of the front 12 and the inside 16 of the back 14 is removed, compare FIG. 3 (before) and FIG. 4 (after) .
- the web 40 serves to ensure that the entire surface of the inner sides 16 and 18 merge into one another almost seamlessly and thus a uniform printing is possible. Because without the web 40 it can happen that the spaced inner sides 16 and 18 have a gap in which the guide rollers of the printer can get caught during the printing process.
- the web 40 which has not been glued is removed beforehand, see FIG. 10A.
- the buckling is supported by the grooves 30.
