  • the invention relates to a method for producing a blank for packaging, which comprises a cellulose-containing base material with at least one line from the group of folding, crease, cutting, creasing and/or bending lines.
  • the invention further relates to a blank for producing packaging, which comprises a cellulose-containing base material with at least one line from the group of folding, crease, cutting, creasing and/or bending lines, a method for producing packaging from such a blank, and a packaging produced from such a blank.
  • a wide variety of cellulose-based packaging which consists at least partially of paper, cardboard or paperboard, is known.
  • packaging is used for filling, transporting and storing different goods.
  • the goods can be, for example, cereals, cornflakes or other pourable and free-flowing foods.
  • Packaging for stick-shaped goods such as cigarettes, cigars and the like is also known.
  • Such packaging is produced using blanks that are provided with one or more lines from the group of folding, folding, cutting, creasing and/or bending lines and are then folded, folded, cut, grooved and/or bent along these lines. The definition of these lines is usually carried out using various techniques such as embossing, punching, embossing, debossing, creasing, laser cutting and the like.
  • document US 2013/184135 A1 describes a method for folding blanks made of corrugated cardboard for producing folding boxes, wherein the blanks are formed with grooves, notches, perforations or the like aligned at least approximately parallel to the course of the corrugations of the corrugated cardboard and optionally also at right angles thereto, along which they can be folded or bent.
  • a disadvantage is that the definition or production of such lines requires a relatively high level of equipment and is difficult to adapt to different base materials or packaging variants.

  • the base material can be coated or uncoated paper, coated or uncoated cardboard or coated or uncoated paperboard.
  • a typical property of hygroscopic substances is, for example, the absorption of moisture (water vapor) from the surrounding Atmosphere (air), provided that the relative humidity of the ambient atmosphere is > 1%, in particular > 20% and preferably between 35% and 100%.
  • the hygroscopic substance can moisten the base material in a targeted manner in the area of the line in question and thus soften or weaken it.

  • Solid and gel-like substances have the advantage over liquids that they do not run or only run very slowly after the base material has been coated, which in some cases can make subsequent processing steps easier. Conversely, liquids are very easy to apply and are particularly suitable for impregnating the base material in order to give it different properties along the line.

  • the side wall 22 is connected to a front wall 14 via a further bending line 50, which is connected to an adhesive tab 58 via a line 50. Furthermore, the front wall 14 is connected to a cover flap 32 via a line 50. The cover flap 32 is connected to the dust flap 36 via a cutting line 92 and to a plug-in flap 90 via two cutting lines 92 and a bending line 50.
  • the dashed bending lines 50 are again defined exclusively by applying a hygroscopic substance such as MgCl 2 , while the cutting lines 92 are punched. Alternatively, it can also be provided that the cutting lines 92 are also defined by applying a hygroscopic substance in order to facilitate separation of the blank 48 in these sections.
  • the embodiments of the packaging 10 or the blanks 48 described in the previous figures serve to illustrate the basic principle of the present invention.
  • a large number of differently designed packaging 10 and blanks 48 are conceivable.
  • the base surfaces 38 of the packaging 10 designed as a prismatic body can be designed not only octagonal but also triangular, quadrangular, pentagonal, hexagonal, ten-sided or twelve-sided.
  • other shapes are also possible.
  • the previously described packages 10 are designed as folding boxes. Like the associated blanks 48, they consist in particular of cardboard, paper or comparable cellulose-containing materials. In principle, however, composite materials made of a cellulose-containing base material and one or more other materials can also be provided, for example paper + PET, cardboard + PET, aluminum + cardboard, PE + aluminum + cardboard, PVOH + cardboard, etc. with or without an adhesion promoter between the individual layers.
  • a hygroscopic substance is preferably applied to one side of a paper, cardboard and/or paperboard layer that is later to form an inside of the package 10. Furthermore, it can be provided that the hygroscopic substance is removed from or from the corresponding packaging 10 after folding the blank 48 or after completion of the latter and, if necessary, regenerated and reused.
  • Fig.5 shows a schematic diagram with examples of differently designed lines, which are all provided with the reference number 50 for the sake of simplicity. It should be emphasized, however, that the lines 50 can basically be defined the same or differently. For example, several lines 50 can be defined by applying different hygroscopic substances or substance mixtures. Furthermore, several lines 50 can fulfill different functions when producing a packaging 10 from a correspondingly equipped blank 48 and can be designed or used independently of one another as folding, folding, cutting, creasing and/or bending lines.
  • lines 50 can be defined next to each other by applying water and/or a hygroscopic substance, for example, in order to To enable folds with larger radii. Even curved, flat, bent, interrupted and generally complex-shaped lines 50 can be defined quickly, easily and flexibly by applying a hygroscopic substance, without any further mechanical processing steps of the base material being necessary.
