Definitions

  • the packaging bag is made of an envelope of at least one enclosing element made of polymer material and the envelope is having a plurality of perforation holes .
  • the packaging bag is especially suited for accomodating goods which have damageable surfaces and require air ventilation. Such goods may be agricultural products.
  • Packaging is a crucial element in almost all industries where goods have to be transported, stored or presented.
  • One of the most commonly used forms of packaging is the bag. Therefore there exist a vast number of types of packaging products in form of bags , optimized for the various applications .
  • Fig. I a shows a mesh packaging bag 1 made of a mesh 2. It is apparent that the product 3 is visible from the outside .
  • Fig. Ib shows a plastic packaging bag 4 of the same type , wherein this bag 4 is made of a material with a closed and opaque surface 5 and therefore the goods inside the bag are not visible.
  • the bags 1 , 4 in Fig. I a and Fig. I b are closed with a single clip 6.
  • Fig. I c shows a bag 7 wherein the form of the bag 7 in the filled situation is not defined by the goods 2 inside the bag, but by structures provided to the bag 7. Additionally the bag 7 consists of two areas; i.e. a lower area 8 , where the enclosing material is opaque, and a second area 9 wherein the enclosing material is transparent. Ad- ditionally this bag 7 comprises a handle 10 in form of an opening in the enclosing material.
  • the packaging products in the form of bags 1 , 4, and 7 in Fig. I a to I c are most commonly made of synthetic materials mainly for cost and weight reasons by using a closed film of the material and then forming the bag.
  • Such bags do not allow adequate air or cooling circulation in their interior, resulting in the poor preservation of the packed foods .
  • the same situation occurs in case of increased heat that may be trapped inside the bag and spoil perishable agricultural products.
  • the packaging products available in the form of mesh overcome these ventilation problems since they have an air circulation enabling surface and allow good air ventilation for example for food.
  • meshes present significant disadvantages, since the mesh is in contact with the packed good. When the mesh is produced, it undergoes yarn hardening in order to obtain higher tensile strength. Goods that are in direct contact with the mesh rub against the hard yarn and their outer surface is often destroyed. In many cases, rubbing also causes an aesthetic and cleanliness problem, as in the case of onions packed in mesh bags. The mesh destroys the skin of onions that falls off and litters during transport or storage of the mesh bag. This problem is not limited to food, but applies to every good having surfaces that can be scratched are damaged by the mesh material.
  • closed surface bags possess the advantage that information can be printed on them, which can be very well seen and depicts a benefit regarding information provision, product recognition or advertisements.
  • closed surface bags have the disadvantages, such as the non-visible good condition. On the shelves of the stores, the buyers might prefer to see the good stored in the bag in its actual condition before purchasing it. In most cases, the abovementioned bags are not transparent and therefore the good cannot be seen.
  • the mesh bags can overcome this disadvantage of non-visible good condition, but only at the costs of a bad readability of information on the mesh. Therefore often information containing media are attached to the meshes. Additionally mesh bags cannot be used for small goods, which would fall through the mesh.
  • WO 2007 /026183 describes a packaging means for providing a fresh grocery good that is placed in the packaging means.
  • the packaging means includes a vacuum foil clinging to the good, and a fenestrated moisture impermeable layer , e.g. a perforated foil separating the good and the moisture absorbent insert from one another.
  • US 5 171593 discloses a ventilated package film with a band of micro- perforations to envelope goods like blueberries or raspberries, which are placed in containers. The film is used to envelop the whole container.
  • the problem to be solved with the invention is it to overcome the above mentioned disadvantages of bags corresponding to the prior art.
  • the object of the present invention is solved by a bag according to claim 1 .
  • the present invention is directed to provide an optimized packaging bag wherein the above mentioned advantages of the meshes and the above mentioned advantages of bags with closed surfaces are combined in one product.
  • a bag allows adequate preservation, transport and storage of packed goods while offering an aesthetic and functional product.
  • the bag may be realized as a low cost product with a very broad application range through its flexibility to be adapted to the application.
  • the bag corresponding to this invention offers a superior combination of beneficial characteristics to the state of the art bags. It provides great elasticity and resistance to rupture and wear and has an aesthetic appearance, since the perforated shell, of which the bag is made of, maintains substantially its shape and initial form without tear when force applied by the good it contains. It further allows air circulation in its interior retaining the good's humidity, liberating the heat trapped in the bag to the environment and allowing the appropriate cooling of the good.
  • the packaging bag comprises an envelope with a plurality of perforation holes, wherein said envelope comprises at least one enclosing element made of a polymer film of at least one layer, wherein said perforation holes are distributed on at least a part of said enclosing element, wherein the enclosing element has at least one joint and wherein at least parts of the surfaces of said enclosing element and said joint defines an inner chamber of said bag.
  • the envelope may consist of more than one enclosing element which are joint to each other together defining the inner chamber of the bag.
  • Such a solution with more than one element may be especially suited for bags with more complex forms or where enclosing elements made of different materials are used. This allows an adaptation of the appearance of the packaging bag to the application.
  • the envelope may consist of one enclosing element.
  • the enclosing element is joined with itself forming the envelope defining an inner chamber of the bag.
  • the enclosing element may be a substantially rectangular film as base element.
  • a bag comprising a substantially rectangular film as base element has the advantage that the base element may be easily manufactured with standard tooling as a part of a larger substantially rectangu- lar film and then the base elements for different bags may be cut out off the larger substantially rectangular film without material loss.
  • the substantially rectangular enclosing elements joint together forming the envelope have together preferably a width between 0, 2 m to 1 ,2 m.
  • the packaging bag comprises a perforated envelope which is made of a polymer film material being soft and not "hurting" the packed good by destroying or damaging the skin of the goods or peeling off the good's skin and therefore not littering the storage area.
  • This innovation significantly improves especially the agricultural products packaging problem with respect to friction, appearance and preservation of packed goods.
  • the main intention is the packaging for agricultural goods, but the application of the invention is not restricted to such goods.

  • the oval or rectangular openings have preferably a minor axis length between 0.2 mm and 4 mm and major axis length between 2 mm and 8 mm.
  • the drop-shaped openings preferably have comparable opening areas to the above given numbers for the oval openings .
  • the individual openings should have uniform opening areas.
  • the number of perforation holes may vary due to the polymer film material property, the density of the perforation holes , the application pur- pose, the weight of the goods , the ventilation need or the requested appearance.
  • the perforation holes may be located only on parts of the enclosing element or in case that more than one enclosing element is used, some of the enclosing elements may be perforated and other may not be perforated.
  • the envelope of the bag may offer visibility to its interior , since the polymer film may be semitransparent or transparent. Even if the enclos- ing element according to this invention is opaque or colored or printed the envelope of the bag may offer visibility to its interior due to the perforation holes. Furthermore the polymer film material of the enclosing element may be selected to be recyclable and environment-friendly.
  • the bag may be provided without handle or with a handle. The handle may be part of the polymer film forming the enclosing element made and the bag therefore can then be easily carried and stored.

  • the two areas 38 and 39 not being part of the envelope may be located inside the inner chamber 25 as depicted in Fig. 10b , in the external periphery 40 as it defined by being outside the inner chamber 25 as depicted in Fig. 10c. It is as well possible that one area 38 is inside the inner chamber 25 and the second area 39 being in the external periphery 40 as shown in Fig. 1 Od.
  • FIG. H a and l ib A preferred configuration for closing the openings in the hose 37 along the joint 34 is shown in Fig. H a and l ib .
  • formation of the joint may be explained by moving a central part 41 of the two perforated areas 31 ,33 of the hose 37 in the direction to each other . Then a fold 42 is formed. With this fold the rims 43 , 44, 45, and 46 are laying one besides the other the two rims 44 and 45 of the perforation- areas being the two inner layers. Joining these layers for example with welding or thermal binding leads to the joint 34 and 35.
  • Such an embodiment may have the advantage that the perforation-areas are not exposed to the periphery, when the bag is folded and therefore the interior of the bag is better protected against dirt from outside as long as the bag is stored in the folded status.
  • the resulting top- down view on this fold for the joint 35 is shown in Fig. 12a and 1 2b for two different embodiments .
  • the joint 34 may be formed in the same way.
  • the joint 35 may be separated in different subsections 47 , 48.
  • the layers 43 , 44, 45 and 46 are arranged as described above .
  • the layers are preferably fixed to each other forming the joint 35.
  • the areas 30 and 32 may be not fixed to the other layer forming an opening 49 from the inner chamber 25 to the external periphery 40. This is shown in Fig. 12a.
  • the areas 30 and 32 are partially fixed to each other. Therefore the width of opening may differ.
  • the opening may have advantages that during the folding process air may exit through this opening or it may be even used as opening for pulling the layers 30 and 32 apart.
  • Fig. 12b shows an embodiment where the two layers 32 and 30 are completely closed through a joint 50 being part of the joint 35.
  • the rectangular base elements is preferably cut out off of rolls of an extended length and a width between 0,2 m and 1 ,2 m.
  • the perforation process is applied to the polymer film as shown in Fig. 13.
  • a non-perforated film 51 forming a roll is passed with the use of an axial system through a perforation machine 52.
  • an electrical discharge perforation machine is shown, but as well other methods like laser perforation, stamping perforation or hot needle /nail perforation could be conducted.
  • the perforated film 53 can again be provided in form of a roll.
  • a preprinted and ready to use polymer film could be used.
  • the discharge perforation process is depicted in Fig. 14a and Fig. 14b .
  • a voltaic arc is generated.
  • a polymer film 51 located between the transmitter and receiver nails a hole is formed in the polymer film between the opponent nails.
  • the perforation may be conducted by creation of multiple simultaneous electrical discharges. The size of the holes depends upon the applied voltage. By variation of the number of nails and their distribution over the width of the film, the local density of the holes and their total number can be determined .
  • the nails 54 are equally distributed while in Fig. 1 4 a only some areas of the film become perforated.
  • Fig. 15a and 15b The nails 54 are located on rods 55.
  • the number of rods 55 may be freely chosen.
  • the rods are located above and below the path for the polymer film 51 - only one side is shown in Fig. 15a and 15b the film.
  • the rods may be positioned vertically to the long axis of the polymer film 4.
  • the number of nails 54 and their distribution is not fixed, therefore as shown in Fig. 15a partially perforated stripes 1 7 and non-perforated stripes 18 or as shown in Fig. 15b fully perforated films 53 may be ob tained.
  • Fig. 15c as a Detail A of Fig. 15b shows that the location of the nails 54 on one rod relative to the location on the second rod deter- mines the final pattern for example by the distance 55 of the rods and the horizontal distance 56 of the nails.
  • the numbers of nails per rod are the same, but by individually addressing the nails the positioning of the holes can be controlled.
  • the drop-shape of the holes is a result of the movement of the polymer film during the perforation process. In cases where the film transport is stopped during perforation, the holes become symmetric to have a circular, oval or more rectangular shape .
