Definitions

• the invention relates to a method for packaging strip-shaped objects, in particular for the consumption of suitable objects, in particular chewing gum sticks.
• the invention also relates to a package produced by this method.
• various methods for packaging strip-shaped objects, in particular chewing gum or strip chewing gum, as well as packaging produced by such methods are known. If chewing gums or chewing gum sticks or strip chewing gum are mentioned below, this is merely an example.
• the present invention relates to any type of strip-like objects, in particular those articles which are suitable for human consumption. This may also be, for example, pastry or confectionery products and the like. However, it also covers strip-shaped products which are not intended for consumption, such as medical or pharmaceutical products, such as diagnostic strips and the like.
• the packaging, packaging forms and packaging concepts play an important role for marketing and sales reasons.
• the market depends in particular on the shape, manner of use and mode of operation of the respective packaging.
• the way in which the packaged products are presented plays an essential role.
• the relevant market demands ever new packaging forms, styles and types, and new products can preferably be sold through such new forms of packaging.
• chewing gum packages are known on the market in which the individual chewing gum sticks, each already packaged for themselves, are packed in layers or in stacks and grouped, ie several stacks arranged side by side.
• the individual strips can then be criss-cross in the package, and the original order of the individual, stacked or grouped strips is no longer given.
• these individual strips lying loosely in the packaging can then also be removed from the packaging. slip out or fall out because they no longer support each other and hold each other by the groups or stacks of the other strips in the overall packaging.
• Such packaging is therefore impractical in their handling and unattractive from an optical, design and psychological standpoint, so that they are undesirable on the market.
• Several such stacks, each surrounded by a band, are then arranged side by side in an overall package.
• the banderoles hold the individual strips and / or stacks next to one another and aligned with each other in the compartment formed by the band, even if individual strips have already been removed.
• the individual banderoles or semi-stops are thereby glued against the cardboard outer packaging in order to secure them within the packaging. Since in this solution the individual chewing gum sticks lie loosely within their respective banderole, however, the strips can still slip out of the overall packaging in their longitudinal direction, even if slippage of the strips in the transverse direction is prevented per se.
• the packaging of the individual chewing gum strip is thereby torn open, ie the individual chewing gum strip is already partially opened when being pulled out on one side and thus offered to the user to a certain extent for consumption, while the other part of the packaging foil remaining on the chewing gum strip protects against contamination and / or serves as a handle for pulling out this chewing gum strip from the packaging.
• the chewing gum strips can be accommodated in the packaging only in one layer or at most in two layers arranged one above the other, as already explained above.
• a multilayer design is therefore not possible, since the middle layers of such an embodiment (ie the layers arranged between the uppermost and the lowest layer) can not or at least not sufficiently securely and firmly be glued to the semi-impact, thus ensuring that that, when withdrawing a chewing gum strip and thereby severing the perforation, the lower portion of the packaging film of the individual chewing gum stick would remain secured within the wrapper in the overall package.
• the invention has for its object to provide a package or packaging mold for chewing gum strips, which has compared to the known packaging forms new features that justify the attractiveness of such packaging in the market or increase.
• Such a package is intended to allow the placement of multiple (i.e., more than two) layers or stacks of individual chewing gum sticks within an overpack.
• the individual chewing gum sticks should be fixed within the entire outer packaging so that they can be easily removed from the packaging, but in particular the order of the multiple layers or stacks of chewing gum sticks is maintained within the overall packaging, if one or more individual Chewing gum sticks have already been removed from the packaging. In such a case, the remaining in the package

• the inventive method further comprises the step of applying at least one adhesive on the side of the provided packaging material blank, which forms the inside of the closed outer packaging of the group, wherein the adhesive is applied substantially in the areas on the packaging material blank, one of a removal opening of the outer packaging form substantially opposite bottom of the closed outer packaging, wherein the adhesive is substantially applied to the packaging material blank so that each packaged strip-shaped object of the group within the closed Um- packaging each at least on its bottom of the outer packaging facing end face comes into contact with the adhesive , and wherein the first packaging material and the adhesive are formed and cooperate such that in each case a single strip-shaped object from the formed Umverpackung is removable.
• the method according to the invention comprises the following further steps: folding the provided packaging material blank around the group formed the strip-shaped objects and closing the formed outer packaging.

Even if a larger part of the strips originally contained in the overall packaging has already been removed from the packaging, the strips still remaining in the package are each held in their original position. In this way, an advantageous, easy to handle packaging is created, which is also appealing from optical and designerischen aspects and thus attractive to the market.

This aspect is important for the processing of the adhesive components (hot melt or cold glue) in the course of their application and for effecting their adhesive effect, as will be explained further below.
