Definitions

  • This disclosure is directed to blister card packages and, more particularly, to blister packages with a standing feature in the form of a wraparound panel to support the package shape in a desired orientation.
  • Some packages may comprise a paperboard card and a polymeric blister.
  • the paperboard card may be a planar or flat construction. Such a construction may not stand up readily, or may lack visual interest. It would be advantageous to have a package that provides a feature to help the package stand upright, or form a more interesting, non-planar structure.
  • a package which includes a blister attached to a card.
  • An extension or wrap-around panel or panels may be attached to the card to provide support to hold the package in a desired orientation, such as a standing position.
  • Fig. 1 is a plan view of parts to form a blister package
  • Figs. 2A and 2B are a back plan view and a cross section view respectively of the blanks aligned in a first step to assemble the package;
  • Figs. 3A and 3B are a back plan view and a cross section view respectively of a further step to assemble the package
  • Figs. 4A and 4B are a back plan view and a cross section view respectively of a further step to assemble the package
  • Figs. 5A and 5B are a back plan view and a cross section view respectively of a further step to assemble the package
  • Figs. 6A and 6B are a back plan view and a cross section view respectively of a further step to assemble the package
  • Figs. 7A and 7B are a back plan view and a cross section view respectively of the assembled package; and [0014] Figs. 8A and 8B are a front plan view and a cross section view respectively of the assembled package.
  • the packages described here may be made from two blanks (that is, the cut sheet parts from which the package components are made by folding and other steps) or from more than one blank or more than two blanks.
  • the word "panel” will often be used to describe a piece of sheet material such as paperboard, particularly with respect to a blank from which the package is made. Since panels are sometimes superimposed, for example, creating a two-layer or multi-layer structure, like features or panels will sometime coincide, in which cases, descriptions may call out the number identifying the feature closer to the viewer, that is, the feature visible in a particular Figure.
  • Fig. 1 shows a front plan view of a first blank 100, second blank 200, and blister 150 for forming a package.
  • the first blank 100 as illustrated in the example here may be considered an "interior” portion of the package, while the second blank 200 may be considered an "exterior” portion of the package. The use of "interior” or “exterior” is not intended to be limiting.
  • First blank 100 may include an inner panel 1 10 with a cutout 1 12 therein. Cutout 1 12 may receive a blister 150 as described below. An optional hang hole 1 18 may be provided in inner panel 1 10.
  • First blank 100 may be formed of a tear resistant material and/or a heat sealable material.
  • Second blank 200 may include main or back panel 210 that may be hingedly attached to side panel 215, which in turn may be hingedly attached to front panel 220, which in turn may be hingedly attached to side panel 225, which in turn may be hingedly attached to glue flap 235.
  • the hinged attachments may be fold or crease lines.
  • the side panels 215, 225 may have the same width "wl .”
  • the back panel 210 and front panel 220 may have the same width "w2.”
  • a cutout 212 may be provided in back panel 210, the cutout 212 being approximately the same size and shape as glue flap 235.
  • a hang hole 218 may be provided in back panel 210.
  • a cutout 222 may be provided in front panel 220. The cutout 222 may be sized and shaped to provide clearance for, or visibility of, blister 150 in the final package. In the flattened assembly configuration described herein, the cutout 222 may also be sized and shaped, and located, so as to not interfere with placement of a blister into the flattened package.
  • Figs. 2- 8 show exemplary steps in the assembly of the package.
  • a plan view such as Fig. 2A
  • a cross section view such as Fig. 2B.
  • a support (not shown) may be placed below the pieces during assembly. The support may provide clearance for a blister body to be inserted into the package.
  • the support may be part of, or provide backing support for, a heat sealing or pressing machine.
  • blanks 100 and 200 are shown with certain (e.g. forward) surfaces facing downward or away from the viewer.
  • the downward surfaces may be coated (e.g. for improved printing, which may generally face forward in the finished package).
  • the upward surfaces e.g., perhaps non-printed surfaces
  • not all surfaces need to be coated for any particular function (e.g. printing, tear-resistances, heat sealing).
  • the first blank 100 may be placed upon second blank 200, and their lower edges may be aligned.
  • the first blank may be shifted to the right by a distance w3 that is equal to the side width wl.
  • the cutout 222 in front panel 220 (shown in phantom behind inner panel 1 10) may be designed so that, in this flattened configuration, it aligns with, or at least does not interfere with the cutout 112 in inner panel 110.
  • blister 150 has been lowered into the cutout 1 12 in inner panel 1 10, with the body 155 of the blister extending downward through inner panel 1 10 (and for the moment, through the cutout 222 in front panel 220). Blister flange 156 however may remain above inner panel 110.
  • Fig. 6 the glue flap 235 has been folded over onto the back panel 210, or (if cutout 212 is provided) into the plane of back panel 210.
  • a tubular structure may thus be created with the panels of the second blank 200 forming a tube around the inner panel 1 10.
  • the blister flange is now sandwiched between back panel 210 and inner panel 1 10. Since the package is in a flattened configuration, pressure may be used to seal the layers together, for example in a heat sealing operation. If the inner panel 110 has a heat sealable coating on the surface shown in Fig. 6B in contact with back panel 210 and glue flap 235 (this would be the 'back facing' or inward (hidden) surface in the finished package) then heat sealing may be used to adhere these panels together. This in turn may securely trap the blister flange 156 between inner panel 110 and back panel 210.
  • FIG. 7 shows the package folded into finished, "opened” (non-flat) configuration, as viewed from the back, to provide continuity with the corresponding viewpoint of FIGs. 2-6.
  • FIG. 8 shows a similar view, but from the front of the package.
  • the wrap-around panels may thus provide a support structure or frame so that the package may stand upright.
  • the illustrated construction is an example and does not include all possible constructions.
  • the blister constructions shown here generally are for a blister that completely encloses a product, it is also contemplated that portions of the blisters may be left open, for example to allow a customer to handle the product such as feeling the texture, observing the product directly (without looking through the blister material), testing a fit (e.g. for an electrical connection), and for other purposes.
  • the first blank 100 and second blank 200 may be formed of a sheet material such as paperboard, which may be made of or coated with materials to increase its strength.
  • a sheet material such as paperboard
  • the sheet material may have a heat sealable coating, for example to allow a heat seal to be created between the first blank 100 and second blank 200.
  • other forms of adhesive may be used to seal these parts together. It should be noted that the use of tear resistant materials, and/or in more than one layer, help to improve the tamper- and theft-resistance of the package.
  • the panels may be joined together by heat sealing, RF (radio frequency) sealing, ultrasonic sealing, adhesive, or other means.
  • RF radio frequency
  • Such sealing may be done on most of the facing surfaces of appropriate panels or sealing may be done to less than the entire facing surfaces, for example only around the outer perimeter of the package, and along or upon part or all of flange 156.
  • the first blank 100 and second blank 200 may be made of different materials.
  • Blister 150 may be made with common thermoform plastics such as PVC or APET but may also include a recycled material such as RPET or a biodegradable material such as PLA. However other materials including other plastics or paperboard may also be used.
  • the case or blister may be formed by injection molding or other manufacturing methods. The blister may be formed in one or more pieces. One or more blisters may be used in the package.
