Definitions

  • the invention relates to a blank for forming an insert for a package.
  • the insert is especially suitable for keeping the goods in position inside the package and/or for protecting the goods from mechanical impacts.
  • the insert should e.g. often be designed such that it makes efficient use of material, is easy to prepare for use, and provide a strong protective structure for placement in a package. It is often desirable that it is strong during handling and stable in an erected state.
  • inserts are made of corrugated cardboard.
  • corrugated cardboard When corrugated cardboard is folded across the extension of the corrugations or flutes, a stable structure may be provided.
  • To create an insert acting as a package bumper it is common to combine a plurality of folded blanks of corrugated cardboard to make a functional insert.
  • Packages made from cardboard are beneficial since they do not take up much space before they are erected, during for example transport.
  • US 6,997,323 discloses a packaging system comprising a compressive and shock-absorbent packing insert.
  • the insert comprises a main panel, a first end tube hingedly coupled to the main panel, a second end tube hingedly coupled to the main panel opposite the first end tube, a first side tube hingedly coupled to the main panel, the first side tube being adjacent to the first end tube and a second side tube hingedly coupled to the main panel, the second side tube being adjacent to the second end tube and opposite the first side tube wherein the first and second side tube panels and the first and second side tube panels include at least one cut-out to enhance the flexing capability of the packing insert.
  • the bumper sections of the blank for forming the insert extends in four directions from the main panel.
  • JPH08230868 discloses a package and an insert formed by a single blank.
  • the blank comprises four main panels, which are arranged one after the other and which are configured to form the four side walls of the insert.
  • the bumper sections of the blank extend from the side walls of the package whereby all bumpers are formed by folding along fold lines extending across the flutes of the cardboard.
  • the basic design of the blank makes it inefficient when it comes to the amount waste material that is cut away when the blank is manufactured, and also when it comes to transportation in flat- laid state.
  • the blank disclosed in JPH08230868 is designed to be partly folded and erected and thereafter receive a goods before the last bumper sections are folded.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a package that addresses the design criterial that an insert for a package should be easy to erect, make efficient use of material, and provide a strong and stable protective structure.

  • the thus provided blank may form a sturdy insert for a package that is shock-resistant while still being easy to erect. All bumpers are folded in the same direction which makes it possible to make efficient use of flutes of a corrugated cardboard material and thereby provide sturdiness to the insert in both directions. By all bumpers being folded in the same direction, the assembly of the insert may be facilitated.
  • the folding portion allows for the use of two floor panels being layered in a facilitated manner while at the same time providing the insert with a double flooring, adding to the shock-resistant capabilities of the insert.
  • the provided blank may facilitate transportation of the insert in an unfolded state.
  • the assembly of the insert is facilitated.
  • the configuration further allows for all bumper panels to be folded in the same direction, whereas the rotational movement of the second portion realigns the bumpers such that they are aligned in two transversal directions.
  • the blank is made from a paper-based material, preferably a paper-based material comprising a corrugated layer in which flutes of the corrugated layer extends along the longitudinal direction.
  • a paper-based material comprising a corrugated layer in which flutes of the corrugated layer extends along the longitudinal direction.
  • the blank may comprise a top panel foldably connected to an outer most panel of the plurality of outer bumper panels, the top panel being configured to form a lid over the insert.
  • the shock-resistant capabilities of the insert increase since there is an added layer of material.
  • the lid may prevent any object or product placed in the insert from falling out.

  • This configuration makes it easy to make an efficient use of material for forming the blank.
  • the configuration also allows for the optional feature that the blank also comprises a lid which does not need to extend outside the overall perimeter of the blank.
  • An intersection between the first side and the second side of the triangular folding portion may coincide with an intersection between a longitudinal cut between the first and second portions and a fold line between the inner floor panel and an inner most inner bumper panel of one of the sets inner bumper panels. It may be noted that coincide may in this context be a slight distance away from the geometrical intersection as seen in a flat-laid state in order to take into account that the blank is formed of a material that has a thickness and that a folding typically translates to a small movement or displacement having a size being anything from a fraction of up to about the same as the material thickness.
