Definitions

  • This invention generally relates to a packaging material with invisible information, a packaging container with invisible information, and a filling and packaging procedure. More particularly, the present invention relates to a packaging container obtained by forming a continuous paper packaging material in a tubular form in the longitudinal direction, filling the tubular packaging material with contents such as fruit juice, tea, liquid dairy products, etc., applying lateral seals in the lateral direction at specified intervals on the tubular packaging material, and cutting the packaging material along the lateral line seals.
  • a packaging material, a packaging container and a process for filling and packaging a container of this type is disclosed in EP 0 025 235 A. It teaches to form a packaging container for beverages by forming into a tubular shaped packaging material of a paper plastic laminate impressed with crease lines, filling the tubularly formed packaging material with contents or an object to be packaged, applying lateral line seals to the tubular packaging material at specified intervals so as to form first in a primary shape of a pillow or cushion, cutting the shaped material at constant intervals and then folding along crease lines to form a final shape.
  • the final shape may be that of a brick (hexahedron), a polygonal (more than four edged) column, hexagonal columns, octagonal column, decagonal column, or tetrahedron having four triangular faces.
  • a movable element is suggested which is adapted so that it is made periodically to engage the packaging material web and by means of which the web is advanced. It is suggested to realise this by means of a winch having accentuated corner points which are adapted so that they can be made to engage with the transverse crease line pattern arranged on the web, or by means of a photoelectric pick-up device detecting marking printed in the web.
  • EP 0 043 723 A2 describes a system for the encoding of control information to a substantially continuous web of material for use in packaging and other applications. For repeatedly registering the web with stations where manufacturing operations are to be performed, it is suggested to provide locating portions with invisible components for signal emission as an integral part of the web.
  • the invisible components may be a transparent pattern of material which emits wavelength shifted radiation in response to a relatively high intensity electromagnetic radiation or spaced strips of wave shifting material for processing control information.
  • Said indicia are superimposed over the printed material and are transparent so that their presence does not interfere with the decoration and information in the printed areas.
  • the packaging material is also provided with control numbers and manufacturing lot numbers used in manufacturing processes for the packaging material including printing, lamination, and cutting, This provides a controlling convenience for customers carrying out the filling work.
  • lot numbers of the packaged product or contents are also provided on the packaging container products.
  • the packaging material is further provided with register marks at specified intervals so that the external design of the packaging container product is placed in a correct position, so that the lateral line seals in the lateral direction are applied to the tubular packaging material at the specified intervals, and so that cuts along the lateral line seals can be made to obtain the packaging container.
  • register marks in the form of bar codes are provided so that the lateral line seals are applied to the specified positions and so that the packaging material is cut along the lateral line seals.
  • the external appearance surface of the conventional packaging container product is provided with the control number, the lot number, the lateral line seals in specified positions, and the register marks for cutting the packaging material along the lateral line seals, the already limited amount of packaging container surface area where printing may be applied becomes even smaller, and the possibility of applying an external design is considerably restricted.
  • Japanese Patent Publication No. Hei-4-51,414 proposes a plastic printed tube in which the tube is provided with a seal positioning mark that emits light when struck with ultraviolet rays.
  • Another proposal discussed in Japanese Patent Publication No. Sho-61-18,231 involves a record paper that is provided with a latent image that emits light when struck with infrared rays.
  • no applications have been proposed in the field of packaging containers made by forming a packaging material in a tubular shape, filling the tubular shape with contents such as fruit juice, tea, liquid dairy products, etc., applying lateral line seals to the tubular shape, and then cutting the product to obtain a packaging container.
  • this object is attained with a packaging material, a packaging container and a process for filling and packaging a container having the features cited in claims 1, 5 and 7, respectively.
  • the invisible information may be printed in infrared ink and followed by superimposed printing of a bar code in an ink that does not contain infrared-absorbing pigments such as carbon black so that the invisible information may be read simultaneously with the visible information at a shop registered using an infrared sensor, and this may be utilised for quality control or warranty claim control.
  • the invisible information may be read and immediate actions taken. At the time, by reading the invisible information with infrared readers at retail shops, problem commodities are prevented from being sold by mistake.
  • Preferred embodiments of the invention provide the invisible information by: printing on the packaging material in infrared ink that emits infrared rays when excited with a specified excitation means; printing on the packaging material in ultraviolet ink that emits ultraviolet rays when excited with a specified excitation means; applying a magnetized magnetic tape strip to the packaging material; printing on the packaging material in magnetized magnetic ink; attaching coils to the packaging material that send out varying electric/magnetic field by means of specified external electric/magnetic field; and an arrangement comprising external signal receiving means, processing means for sending out information in response to the external signal, and transmitting means for sending out the signal sent out.
  • the invisible information may be at least one piece of information selected from : product information relating to the contents to be packaged; packaging material information relating to the packaging material from which the container is manufactured; manufacturing information relating to the filling of the container; and marketing information associated with marketing the packaging container.
  • the invisible information provided at specified intervals on a tubularly formed, continuously fed packaging material is detected with a detector, the lateral seals are applied in the lateral line seal positions on the packaging material as determined from the detected invisible information, and the packaging material is cut along the lateral seals to form a primary shape.
  • invisible information since invisible information is provided, information may be obtained from outside by invisible means and can be discriminated from visible information. That is, visible designs, characters, symbols, numerals, etc. are not affected.
  • Packaging materials that may be used in conjunction with the present invention are typically multi-layer laminates which typically include a paper-based material for a paper container, with thin layers of thermoplastic resin, for example polyethylene, laminated on both sides of the paper.
  • a paper base material layer with its one surface provided with an outside polyethylene layer, and with its other surface provided with an oxygen barrier aluminum foil layer sandwiching a polyethylene laminate, an inner polyethylene layer on the inside surface of the aluminum foil layer, and further two inside polyethylene layers inside the inner polyethylene layer, with the outside polyethylene layer to be in contact with food.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un matériau d'emballage (1) sur lequel des lignes de pliure (12) sont imprimées par pression pour former des emballages (4), et qui porte des renseignements invisibles (20). Pour réaliser le contenant rempli, on donne au matériau d'emballage une forme tubulaire dans sa direction longitudinale, on le remplit avec le produit à emballer et on applique des scellements linéaires latéraux dans la direction latérale du matériau d'emballage tubulaire, à des intervalles déterminés, on le découpe le long des scellements pour former un contenant d'emballage (4) sous sa forme primaire et on le plie le long des lignes de pliure, pour obtenir un contenant d'emballage (4) ayant sa forme finale. Cette procédure ne réduit pas la surface disponible pour l'impression sur un contenant d'emballage, et elle ne limite pas les possibilités relatives à son aspect extérieur même si des renseignements, y compris des numéros de contrôle et de lots ainsi que des repères d'enregistrement pour les scellements linéaires latéraux, se trouvent sur la surface extérieure visible du contenant d'emballage achevé (4).
