Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a package for packaging one or more products, of the type including a handle intended to facilitate the transport of packaged products.
  • the invention also relates to a method for making a package with such a handle.
  • This document refers in particular to a package for toilet paper that uses a casing made from a sheet of plastic material wrapped around a series of rolls and provided with two flaps folded and joined together to close the casing itself.
  • the package also includes a handle that extends between two opposing surfaces of the casing to enable the products contained therein to be carried.
  • the handle is applied in such a way that it extends close to the surface of the casing and can be grasped by inserting the hand between the casing and the handle, lifting the latter slightly.
  • a further disadvantage associated with this solution is the ease with which a user can be subject to scratches, cuts and minor injuries when grasping the handle. Indeed, it is well known that paper, especially when particularly thin, can lead to this type of injury.
  • the technical problem underlying the present invention is that of providing a package for one or more products which allows to improve the known solutions and can at least partially overcome one or more of the identifiable disadvantages in relation to the prior art.
  • an aim of the present invention is to make available a package comprising a wrapper and a handle which, although made of paper materials, has characteristics in terms of strength and ease of use that are at least comparable with those made of plastic or otherwise non-recyclable materials.
  • a package for one or more products comprising a casing and a handle, in which the casing and handle are advantageously made of paper material.
  • the casing is preferably wrapped around the products in such a way as to define two opposing head surfaces and one peripheral surface.
  • the handle comprises a strip made of said paper material, which defines opposite portions attached to one and the other of the two head surfaces respectively.
  • the two opposite portions define the respective opposite ends from the handle.
  • the handle also comprises a reinforcement element connected to the strip.
  • the reinforcing element has an elongated shape and extends between the two opposing portions.
  • the package according to the present invention can be easily transported, using the relevant handle, even though it can be made entirely of paper material.
  • connection referring to the connection between the reinforcing element and the strip, includes both a connection made by joining two separate elements, and embodiments in which the strip and the reinforcing element are made as a single piece, for example by folding a portion of the strip back on itself in order to obtain the reinforcing element.
  • paper material includes any material obtained, for a representative percentage thereof, typically more than 50% by weight, from cellulose or other fibres of plant origin.
  • this term also includes multilayer materials in which at least one material consisting of cellulose or another fibre is present.
  • the present invention also relates to a method for making a package for products comprising: providing at least one reel of paper material to form the casing of said package; providing at least one reel of a strip of paper material to form the handle of said package; wrapping said paper material onto said products; folding at least one folding flap of said strip to obtain said reinforcing element; attaching said handle to the head surfaces of the package.
  • the method may involve performing the above steps in the order listed or in any order.
  • the present invention in at least one of the aforementioned aspects, may have at least one of the further preferred features listed below.
  • the reinforcing element is obtained by folding one folding flap or two opposing folding flaps of the strip forming the handle.
  • the folding takes place on a respective fold line along the longitudinal extension of the handle and, preferably, parallel to that longitudinal extension.
  • the folding flap(s) are attached, when folded, to a central part of said strip by adhesive means. This feature also increases the robustness of the handle.
  • the folding flap(s) have a transverse extension of at least 1/10 of the transverse extension of the handle. Preferably the folding flap(s) have a transverse extension of at least 1/6 of the transverse extension of the handle.
  • the folding flap(s) have a transverse extension not exceeding 1/2 of the transverse extension of the handle. Preferably, the folding flap(s) have a transverse extension not exceeding 1/4 of the transverse extension of the handle.
  • the product or products contained in the package have a cylindrical shape, or the shape of a flattened cylinder, said products having a main axis X.
  • the handle extends between the two opposite head surfaces along a direction parallel to said main axis X.
  • the structure is thus stronger because, particularly when the products are toilet rolls or paper towels, they typically have a higher resistance to bending in that direction.
  • the reinforcing element is formed by means of an additional strip of said paper material superimposed on said strip and preferably glued to said strip.
  • the products are selected from one or more of the following: toilet rolls, paper towels.
  • the present invention is particularly advantageous in the packaging of products with a low weight and relatively large dimensions, in light of the ease with which paper can be processed to make the casing and the mechanical characteristics of this material.
  • the packaging comprises a plurality of products arranged in at least two parallel rows with respect to the main axis, the parallel rows determining an empty volume between the rows of products and said casing when two parallel rows are adjacent to each other.
  • said handle extends between two adjacent parallel rows at said empty volume.
  • the handle can also help to strengthen the package in the area between rows of products, particularly if the products are cylindrical. In fact, in such areas, gaps remain defined, where there may be a risk of damage to the casing if, for example, a user grabs the package in this area.
  • the presence of the handle forms an additional layer that makes the package stronger between rows of products.
  • the head surfaces of the casing are each formed by at least two wrapping flaps folded over each other.
  • at least one of said wrapping flaps is superimposed on a respective end of the handle and, more preferably, said end is arranged between the two wrapping flaps in a sandwich configuration.
  • both wrapping flaps are overlapped at one respective end.
  • the casing and handle are made of the same material.
  • - figure l is a perspective view of a package according to the present invention in which the handle is not shown and in which a head surface is illustrated transparently for descriptive clarity;
  • - figure 2 is a further perspective view of the package of figure 1, again without the handle shown;
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a first embodiment of the present invention in which the relevant casing is illustrated transparently for the sake of descriptive clarity;
  • figure 4 is a perspective view of a second embodiment of the present invention, again with the related casing illustrated transparently; figure 5 is a detailed view the handle of the package of the present invention.
  • FIG. 6 is a detailed view of the handle of the package according to an alternative embodiment.
  • a package of rolls 1 of toilet paper according to the present invention is generally indicated with the reference number 100.
  • the package contains rolls of toilet paper arranged, one on top of the other, in several parallel rows.
  • the package contains rolls of toilet paper arranged, one on top of the other, in several parallel rows.
  • the eight rows are also arranged in a 4x2 configuration.
  • this provision is purely illustrative and will be used for the sake of illustrative clarity of the invention.
  • the invention can be applied in packages that include any number of products, even a single product.
  • the present invention will be described in relation to a plurality of products, it being understood, however, that what follows will also apply in the case of a single product.
  • the products 1 may be cylindrical in shape, or in the form of a flattened cylinder, the latter shape being adopted, for example, in certain types of toilet rolls.
  • the package 100 essentially comprises a casing 2 that wraps the products 1 in such a manner as to define two opposing head surfaces 5a, 5b and a peripheral surface 6, as illustrated in figure 2.
  • the casing 2 is preferably made from a sheet of paper material, large enough to wrap all the products in package 100, leaving two flaps 10a, 10b defined, which are joined to close the package. Depending on the shape and arrangement of the products, however, additional flaps may also be provided to contribute to the creation of the head surfaces 5a and 5b.
  • the sheet making up the casing is wrapped around an axis that coincides with the axis X of the rolls of toilet paper, or other cylindrical or elongated product in the package 100.
  • the package of the present invention further comprises a handle 3 attached to the casing 2.
  • the handle 3 is made of paper material, preferably the same material of which the casing 2 is made.
  • the handle 3 extends between the opposite head surfaces 5a, 5b along a direction parallel to a main axis X of the cylinder.
  • head surfaces 5a, 5b are each formed by folding one of the two wrapping flaps 10a, 10b over the other.
  • each end 7a, 7b thereof is placed between two respective wrapping flaps 10a, 10b.
  • the end, or more generally a relative portion, of the handle is sandwiched between the two flaps.
  • flaps 10a, 10b are overlapped on the end of the handle 3, as can be seen, for example, in the embodiments illustrated in figures 3 and 4.
  • the handle 3 extends parallel to the fold lines I la, 1 lb of the wrapping flaps 10a, 10b along which these are folded to make the head surfaces 5 a, 5b.
  • the handle 3 extends perpendicular to the above-mentioned fold lines I la, 11b.
  • the handle 3 can extend between two adjacent parallel rows of products 1.
  • the handle 3 is placed at an empty volume 101 of the package. As can be seen from figure 1, this empty volume 101 is defined between products 1 and casing 2, between two parallel rows of products.
  • the handle 3 comprises a strip 7 made of said paper material, which defines the aforementioned opposite portions 7a, 7b.
  • the handle 3 also comprises a reinforcing element 4 attached to said strip, which has an elongated shape and extends between said opposite portions 7a, 7b.
  • the reinforcing element 4 is obtained by folding two opposing folding flaps 8a, 8b of said strip 7 along a respective fold line 9a, 9b parallel to the longitudinal extension of the handle 3.
  • the reinforcing element 4 is formed by a single folding flap, or by an elongated element of another type, such as a wire or mesh, attached to the strip 7.
  • figure 6 illustrates an embodiment of the present invention in which the reinforcing element 4 is formed by means of an additional strip 70 of paper material attached to the strip 7 forming the handle.
  • Adhesive means may be provided to join the reinforcing element 4 to the strip 7, whether formed by the fold flap(s) or by the additional strip 70 or other elongated elements. Such a join may be intended either to join the reinforcing element 4 to the strip, in the event that it is made from a separate element with respect to the strip 7, or to retain the flap on the strip once it has been folded.
  • the ratio between the transverse extension 1 of the folding flaps 8a, 8b and the transverse extension L of the handle 3 may be comprised between 1/10 and 1/2 or, more preferably between 1/6 and 1/4.
  • a further advantageous aspect of the invention relates to the possibility of producing a package made entirely of paper materials in a simple manner and with automated equipment.
  • the package can be made using two different reels of paper material, one intended for making the casing and the other for making the handle.
  • the first reel is then unwound in order to be wrapped around the products, placing the casing to close and collect them.
  • the second reel is unwound, folding one or two flaps, while it preferably advances continuously. Once folded, the paper material unwound from the reel is attached to the casing and cut to size, making the handle.
  • the attachment of the handle which can take place either before or after the strip has been cut, can be carried out in a further advantageous manner by folding and closing the second flap of casing 10b, attaching the end portion 7a of the handle to it.
  • the first wrapping flap 10a is also folded and closed, arranging the portion 7a in the sandwich configuration described above.
  • the attachment of the handle or wrapping flaps can be achieved by heat-sealing.
