Definitions

  • Present invention relates to a packaging box for fruit, berries and vegetables, where the packaging box is made of environmental friendly materials, such as cardboard.
  • Plastic packaging has proven to be cheap and easy to produce, easy to make robust enough to stack, and security for the products may be handled at an acceptable level.
  • the flexibility of plastic and the ability to produce almost any form using production techniques such as machines that can heat the plastic material (PVC, PP, PE, POF, PPT, PTGF, APET, ABS, OPP, PS, PET, etc) and make them soft, then vacuum suction and transform sheet material into various plastic blisters, or extruding techniques is considered a great advantage.
  • a problem for packaging using non-softening or non-extrudable materials is how to make a packaging providing good storage, visibility of product, strength and low enough production price level.
  • a problem in small portion packaging is that the consumer ay want to get access to some of the products for consuming, such as a handful of berries or the like, and then continue to store the remaining products in the packaging box. It is also a desire for the shop retailing the products, to the consumer, that access to the packaged goods can be prohibited prior to purchase is completed. These two requirements are difficult to provide at the same time, and often shops experience customers opening several packages to access and refill/exchange content of the selected packaging box, which the customer then brings to the cashier. The result is that many of the packaging boxes does not contain required volume or average quality.
  • a packaging box for fruit, berries and vegetables is provided made of cardboard material having a design providing features for ventilation, easy filling, stackability, visibility of the packaged goods, safety for not being opened before purchase is completed, and easy access to the content of the packaging box for extracting portions of the content.
  • the packaging box is provided for automated machine packing.
  • a second embodiment of the packaging box is provided, similar to the first embodiment, but where the packaging box is for manual packing of content.

  • the first embodiment relates to a packaging box for machine packaging. Typically, less material is used in such embodiment compared to a box that should be mounted/filled manually.
  • present embodiment as shown in figure 1 it is provided a consumer box for fruit, berries and vegetables or the like, typically in portion pack for consuming direct out of the box.
  • the packaging box 1 comprises a bottom 40, a top 41, a front wall 42, two side walls 43, 44, and a back wall 45.
  • the packaging box 1 comprise an easy to use pour opening 2.
  • the pour opening is produced such that it is tamper evident in that it is comprised of a perforated 10 easy to tear lines imprinted into the front side of the top side 41 of the packaging box 1, and tear lines 12 extends over the edge and down the upper portion of the front wall of the packaging box.
  • the pour opening 2 flap may have a non-perforated folding edge 11 at its rear side for easy folding up and down when opened, and a grove/opening 4 in front for easy gripping hold when consumer wants to tear open the pour opening 2 for the first time.
  • the grove/opening 4 also provides a ventilation opening.
  • the width 13 of the portion of the pour opening flap 2' extending over the edge and down the upper portion of the front wall 42 of the packaging box increases 12' towards the end of the pour opening flap 2 comprising the grove/opening 4. This may facilitate a better locking ability when the pour opening 2 flap has been teared by the consumer, and the pour opening 2 shall be relocked.
  • An increased width of the front portion 13 of the flap 2, 2' can then be inserted into the opening and the flap portion 2' with increasing width 13 will stick inside the opening and keep the pour opening 2 shut and prevent content to spill out between servings.
  • Ventilation recesses 3 on the upper edge of one or more of the packaging box side walls corresponding with holes 3' provided in side flaps 30, 32 of the top 41 of the packaging box 1.
  • the holes 3' corresponds with the ventilation recesses 3 to provide ventilation ducts from the inside of the packaging box 1 to the outside.
  • Additional ventilation may be provided by openings/holes 9 provided in for example the back wall 45.
  • the front wall 42, and the side walls 43, 44 may comprise one or more openings 6, 8 for increased visibility of the content inside the packaging box 1.
  • the openings is preferably covered by a transparent film, the transparent film being preferably selected from either recyclable material easy to separate from the box, or a material being decompostable.
  • the transparent film may be of an air permeable material.
  • the openings may be constructed as a see through mesh having a multiple holes of small enough size to keep the products inside the box, for example smaller holes for small berries.
  • the film covering the openings may be provided as non transparent air permeable film.
  • figure 1 it is provided an opening 6 that reach over both the front wall 42 and one of the side walls 44. This creates an increased visibility of the packaged goods enabling a consumer to inspect the packaged goods from more angles simultaneously without needing to twist and turn the packaging box 1.
  • a more robust design may be used, and a design having smaller openings as shown in figure 11 and 12 where each transparent opening are smaller and not spanning over a corner between side wall and front wall.
  • the bottom 40 is constructed with side flaps 33, 34, 35 comprising folding lines, the folding lines being partly perforated 51 through the packaging box material, partly non perforated 50.
  • the folding lines 50, 51 is such that the perforated portions 51 forms a recess 5 into the bottom 40.
  • the effect is that when the bottom 40 is folded in and the flaps 33, 34, 35 are bent inwards to fit inside the corresponding walls 43, 44, 45 of the packaging box 1, the recesses 5 which has a perforated cut through of the material will protrude out from the bottom 40 at an angel and thereby form supporting legs 5 which will when the packaging box 1 is placed on a surface support the packaging box 1.
  • the underside of the bottom 40 will then be resting at a distance above the surface of which the packaging box is placed.
  • a further advantage of the supporting legs 5 is that when mounted, the folding creates openings 7 in the bottom 40, which provides for ventilation through the bottom between the inside of the packaging box 1 and the outside.
  • the ventilation via the openings 7 in the bottom 40 and the supporting legs 5 contributes with an important features when multiple packaging boxes 1 are stacked upon each other, for display and/or transport. Ventilation is crucial for keeping fruit, berries and vegetables in a good condition. Ensuring space between the packaging boxes 1 from top of one packaging box 1 to the bottom of the packaging box 1 above ensures that air can circulate 240 from the surrounding through to the bottom openings 7, and hence keep the fruit, berries and vegetables fresh for a longer time period.
  • the packaging box 1 may be coated/impregnated on the inside to avoid moisture from the fruit, berries and vegetables to degrade the packaging box material.
  • the packaging box 1 When the packaging box 1 is produced in a cardboard material it will start as a die cut form as shown in figure 3 when produced for machine assembly and filling.
  • the side flaps 33, 34, 35 are covered with a glue on the outside such that when folded in the machine assembly the glue is activated with the effect that the side flaps 33, 34, 35 will glue to the inside of the side walls 43, 44 and the back wall 45 respectively.
  • one of the side walls 44 will have a wall side flap 36 connected on its peripheral side relative its connection to the front wall 42.
  • the wall side flap 36 may be coated with a glue which when the cardboard box is machine assembled be glued to the inside of the back wall 45, as illustrated in figure 5.
  • the flaps are shown in the figures of the assembled packaging boxes 1 to increase the understanding of how the flaps contribute to the assembling.
  • the flaps When mounted the flaps are normally on the inside of the packaging box 1. Outside mounting of the flaps may be facilitated in some applications, in which the glue must be arranged on the opposite side of the flaps.
  • the top 41 flaps 30, 31, 32 may be glued to the side walls 43, 44 and the back wall 45 similar to the bottom 40.
  • An assembly and filling process may fill from bottom or the top, having the effect that the wall side flap 36 must firstly be arranged/glued to the back wall 45, hence a tube is formed by front wall 42, sidewalls 43, 44 and back wall 45, and either of top or bottom must be mounted to form an open container with the tuber form. Then the container is filled with its intended content, and the other of top or bottom is mounted.
  • the present invention of the packaging box is presented as discussed above in two versions for machine mounting and filling having a die cut form as provided in figure 3 and 11.
