Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of packaging a bundle of tobacco industry products wrapped in a flexible barrier material in a sheet of board material and to a packaging machine for packaging a bundle of tobacco industry products wrapped in a flexible barrier material in a sheet of board material.
  • Packs typically have an outer carton made from board, such as cardboard, which is folded to form a base and a hinged-lid.
  • An inner frame may be attached to the base so that it protrudes from the base so that it is received in the lid when closed.
  • the bundle of tobacco industry products may comprise a group of tobacco industry products wrapped in a flexible barrier material that has a section that is separable from the remainder of the barrier material to form an extraction opening.
  • a flexible label is attached to the section and to the lid so that, when the lid is rotated into its open position, the section is lifted together with the flexible label to open the extraction opening through which the tobacco industry products may be removed.
  • US 2017/0203910 discloses a cigarette pack with an outer hinged-lid pack and a sealed inner pack.
  • the inner pack comprises an opening tab and a closure label, the closure label being fixed to the inner side of a lid front wall by an actuating tab and being movable with the lid (30) to the opening position.
  • WO 2007/093288 discloses a process for production and/or packaging of cigarette packs.
  • the packages are treated with a plasma jet generated by a plasma generator.
  • DE 102015013734 discloses a plasma device for the pre-treatment of laminated cardboard blanks for the production of cigarette boxes.
  • US 5934461 discloses chemical treatment of an aluminium cigarette pack.
  • a method of packaging a bundle of tobacco industry products wrapped in a flexible barrier material in a sheet of board material in which a packaging machine folds the sheet of board material to form a base to contain a bundle, and a lid rotatable relative to the base between open and closed positions, the lid having a front wall and a lid front wall flap having a rear face that lies against an inner surface of the lid front wall to enable a flexible label.
  • the board material comprises a surface layer or coating which is on said front face of the lid front wall flap wherein the method includes:
  • the method comprises non-mechanically treating the front face of the lid front wall flap using a laser.
  • the rated power of the laser may be 100 Watts, and the method may comprise operating the laser at between 50% to 100% of its rated power.
  • the method may include moving the laser relative to the front face of the lid front wall flap during treatment.
  • the method may comprise treating the front face of the lid front wall flap using a plurality of lasers.
  • the method may comprise non-mechanically treating the front face of the lid front wall flap with a chemical or plasma in addition to, or separately from, treatment using a laser.
  • a packaging machine for packaging a bundle of tobacco industry products wrapped in a flexible barrier material a sheet of board material comprising:
  • the treatment unit may comprise a laser.
  • the rated power of the laser may be 100 Watts.
  • the laser may be controlled at between 50% to 100% of its rated power.
  • the packaging machine may comprise a drive unit to move the laser relative to the lid front wall flap during treatment.
  • the treatment unit may comprise a plurality of lasers.
  • the treatment unit may be configured to treat the lid front wall flap chemically or using plasma.
  • Figure 1 shows an example rigid pack 1, made from a board material such as paperboard or cardboard, with a hinged lid 2 and a base 3 containing a group of cigarettes 4 wrapped in a flexible barrier material 5 to form a bundle 6.
  • An extraction opening 7 is formed in the barrier material 5.
  • the extraction opening 7 is formed when a separable section 8 of the barrier material 5 is lifted to allow access to the cigarettes 4.
  • the barrier material 5 may be made of metallized plastics or of a plastics/metal foil laminate material.
  • a flexible extends over and is attached to the section 8 and has, on its undersurface facing the barrier material 5, a pressure sensitive re-stick adhesive which is of sufficient strength to ensure that the label 9 remains adhered to the section 8.
  • a pressure sensitive re-stick adhesive which is of sufficient strength to ensure that the label 9 remains adhered to the section 8.
  • a permanent bonding adhesive may be applied to the portion of the undersurface of the label 9 which overlies the removable section 8. However, where the label 9 extends beyond the removable section 8, its undersurface is provided with re-stick adhesive.
  • an inner frame (not shown) may be provided within the bundle 6 so that it extends partially around the cigarettes 4 beneath the barrier material 5.
  • the inner frame provides a reaction surface underneath the barrier material 5 against the resealing pressure exerted by the label 9 around the periphery of the extraction opening 7.
  • section 8 of the barrier material 5 is drawn back to reveal the extraction opening 7 and to enable a consumer to readily extract a cigarette 4 from the bundle 6.
  • section 8 may be removable, it will be appreciated that it may remain at least partially attached to the remainder of the barrier material 5 when the extraction opening 7 is revealed.
  • a portion of the outer surface 12 of the label 9 is attached to the lid 2 using permanent adhesive so that it folds back relative to the remainder of the label 9 when the lid 2 is rotated into an open position (as most clearly seen in Figure 2 ).
  • the label 9 is peeled back or rolled away from the barrier material 5 together with the removable section 8. If the pack 1 is being opened for the first time, the removable region 8 may also separate from the remainder of the barrier material 5 along a line of weakening that separates the removable region 8 from the remainder of the barrier material 5, as the lid 2 is opened.
  • the label 9 will roll back across the barrier material 5 and the removable region 8 of the barrier material 5 will re-position itself within the extraction opening 7.
  • the peelable adhesive coating a peripheral region 14 of the label 9 will readhere to the barrier material 4 surrounding the extraction opening 6 to reseal the pack 1.
  • the lid 2 comprises a front wall 14 and a lid front wall flap 15 which is folded relative to the front wall 14 substantially 180 degrees about a fold line 'F' between the lid front wall 14 and the lid front wall flap 15 so that a rear face 16 of the lid front wall flap 15 lies against an inner face 17 of the lid front wall 14, leaving a front face 18 of the lid front wall flap 15 exposed.
  • the rear face 16 of the lid front wall flap 15 may be permanently adhered to the inner surface 17 of the lid front wall 14.
  • print may be applied to an outer surface 19 of the lid front wall 14 and around the fold line F onto the front face 18 of the lid front wall flap 15.
  • the outer surface of the label 9 is adhered to the front face 18 of the lid front wall flap 15.
  • the sheet of board material from which the lid and base are formed has a metallised, or otherwise coated, external surface layer.
  • This surface is the external surface visible to a consumer.
  • the board material may be Transmet board, which is a film-free metallic laminate for paperboard that provides a print receptive coating to the base material in a bright metallic finish. Transmet laminate is manufactured by the API Group.
  • the board material may be Metpol, which has a layer of metallisation coated with a polymer layer.
  • the front face 18 of the lid front wall flap 15 to which the label 9 is adhered has the metallised, or otherwise coated, surface.
  • This surface or coating has a low affinity or receptivity to adhesive, as the adhesive is unable to penetrate the material, or penetrate it sufficiently, to form a good bond.
  • Both Transmet and Metpol boards suffer from this problem, as the external surface layer is non-porous and so does not readily absorb adhesive.
  • the front face 18 of the lid front wall flap 15 is non-mechanically treated to increase its receptivity or affinity to adhesive thereby improving the bond between the lid front wall flap 15 and the label 9.
  • the non-mechanical treatment of the lid front wall flap 15 removes all, or some, of the surface layer or coating, to thereby expose the underlying board which has a much greater affinity for adhesive.
  • the label 9 is therefore adhered to treated surface. It will be appreciated that the non-mechanical treatment may be carried out on all of the front face of the lid front wall flap. Alternatively it may be carried out on portions of it.
  • Treatment may be carried out using a laser, such as a CO 2 laser.
  • the laser 20 may have a power rating of 100Watts and be operated within a range of 50% to 90% of its power to remove the surface layer or coating whilst causing little or no damage to the underlying board.
  • a laser treatment unit 20 is shown, that emits a laser beam 'L' towards the front face 18 of the lid front wall flap 15.
  • the laser may move.
  • the laser 20 may move as indicated by arrows marked 'X' and 'Y' in Figure 4 .
  • the laser treatment unit 20 may remain stationary and the lid front wall flap 15 may pass beneath it.
  • the laser treatment unit 20 may be active for a short period of time sufficient to treat the lid front wall flap 15.
  • the laser treatment unit 20 may be operational for a period of time in the region of 0.5 seconds.
  • the lid front wall flap 15 may be treated to remove a portion of the surface using a chemical or by using plasma.
  • treatment occurs after the lid front wall flap 15 has been folded against the inner surface 17 of the lid front wall 14 by a folding unit 21, and prior to the application of adhesive in an adhering unit 22 that applies adhesive to the treated front face 18 of the lid front wall flap 15 and sticks the label 9 to the front face 18.
  • the treatment may occur at any time or stage in the manufacturing or packaging process.
  • the non-mechanical treatment may be carried out prior to folding the lid front wall flap 15.
  • lid front wall flap 15 may be treated, or the whole of the flap may be treated.
  • the part of the lid front wall flap 15 which is treated may be treated such that all or only part of a surface layer or coating is removed.
  • treatment occurs in a packaging machine, during assembly of the pack after the folding unit 21 has folded the lid front wall flap 15 against the inner surface 17 of the lid front wall 14 but prior to any further folding of the sheet.
  • Folding of the lid front wall flap 15 against the inner surface 17 of the lid front wall 14 is illustrated in Figure 3 , and shows the lid front wall flap 15 being rotated, about the fold line F extending along a lower edge of the lid front wall 14, in the direction of arrow 'A'.
  • the label 9, which has a portion attached to the front face 18 of the lid front wall flap 15, may be a separate element that is applied to the wrapped bundle 6.
  • the barrier material 5 may be a laminate material.
  • the label 9 may be integrally formed from the barrier material 5 and comprise one or more layers of the laminate.
  • tobacco industry product is to be understood as including smoking articles comprising combustible smoking articles such as cigarettes, cigarillos, cigars, tobacco for pipes or for roll-your-own cigarettes, (whether based on tobacco, tobacco derivatives, expanded tobacco, reconstituted tobacco, tobacco substitutes or other smokable material), electronic smoking articles such as e-cigarettes, heating devices that release compounds from substrate materials without burning such as tobacco heating products; and hybrid systems to generate aerosol from a combination of substrate materials, for example hybrid systems containing a liquid or gel or solid substrate.
  • the tobacco industry product is a smoking article for combustion selected from the group consisting of a cigarette, a cigarillo and a cigar.
  • the tobacco industry product is a non-combustible smoking article.
  • the tobacco industry product is a heating device which releases compounds by heating, but not burning, a substrate material.
