Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to a method of packaging cigarettes into a cigarette pack, a respective cigarette pack and a packaging machine for packaging cigarettes.
  • Common cigarette packs such as hinge-lid boxes or soft-cup packs, are generally provided with information on an outer surface of the cigarette pack.
  • Such information e.g. in printed form, can include branding, consumer information and communication, health warnings, and the like.
  • a method of packaging cigarettes into a cigarette pack includes a step of bundling a plurality of cigarettes to form a cigarette bundle.
  • the method includes a step of bundling a plurality of cigarettes to form a cigarette bundle.
  • an orientation of the cigarettes in the cigarette bundle with respect to each other is fixed, i.e. the cigarettes in the cigarette bundle are immobilized so that relative movement with respect to each other is no longer possible.
  • at least one of the cigarettes of the cigarette bundle is provided with a marking.
  • the step of bundling includes at least partially wrapping the plurality of cigarettes with an inner wrapper and/or an inner frame.
  • the inner wrapper or inner frame can e.g. be formed from paper, thin carton, foil or the like.
  • the area of the at least one cigarette to be provided by the marking is preferably left open, i.e. not covered by the wrapping material.
  • the step of bundling includes immobilizing the cigarettes of the cigarette bundle by means of an immobilizing element of a bundling station of a packaging machine.
  • the immobilizing element can e.g. include a gripper or the like, by means of which a plurality of cigarettes is bundled and firmly kept together, thereby forming a cigarette bundle in which an orientation of the cigarettes with respect to each other is fixed.
  • the immobilizing element includes a generally U-shaped receiving element, which is configured to receive the plurality of cigarettes to be bundled.
  • the receiving element can further be provided with a hinged cover element, which is configured to hold down and thereby fix the cigarettes received by the receiving means.
  • the cover element only partly covers the cigarettes so as to leave uncovered an area to be provided with the marking.
  • the marking is produced by means of laser energy.
  • laser energy can be used for marking, such as a CO 2 laser, a Nd:YAG laser or a fiber laser.
  • the laser used for marking works in the IR spectral range, preferably in the spectral range between 9 ⁇ m to 12 ⁇ m, most preferably between 9,3 ⁇ m and 10,6 ⁇ m.
  • the marking is provided by means of a laser and bundling is performed by means of wrapping the plurality of cigarettes with a wrapping material that is not absorptive in the spectral range used by the laser, the cigarettes may be completely wrapped in the wrapping material, because the marking can then by provided on the cigarettes through the wrapping material.
  • the marking can be provided by means of a specific printing cylinder, the surface of which in adapted to the surface of the cigarette bundle.
  • the marking can be provided by means of a spraying or sputtering element, preferably in combination with a stencil or the like.
  • an ink jet printer can be used for marking purposes.
  • the at least one cigarette is provided with a light sensitive layer at least in the area of the laser marking.
  • a light sensitive layer By means of this light sensitive layer, the accuracy and the effect of the laser marking can be enhanced. Also, energy needed to produce the laser marking can be optimized.
  • the marking extends over at least two cigarettes of the cigarette bundle.
  • a first portion of the marking that is provided on a first cigarette of the at least two cigarettes differs from a second portion of the marking that is provided on a second cigarette of the at least two cigarettes.
  • the respective portions of the marking can e.g. differ with respect to shape, color, orientation, or location.
  • the marking can include a logo, an image, a brand name, or a lettering that extends over at least two cigarettes.
  • the marking can include a continuous image or lettering, or can be comprised of a plurality of separated discrete portions.
