Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a package of products comprising a cardboard body.
  • the object of the present invention is to make a package for packaging containers or products, which is ecologically sustainable, more environmentally friendly, greatly reduces the use of plastics of the package for packaging, is handy, allows to safely transport the packaged products, is recyclable, advantageously allows the products to be extracted from the cardboard body preventing portions of the cardboard body and/or glue spots from remaining attached to the outer surface of the products of the package.
  • a package 10 of products 100 for packaging a plurality of products 100 is shown.
  • the package 10 of products 100 comprises a box-shaped body 20, a handy strap 30 and products 100 arranged on one or more rows. In figure 1 the products 100 are arranged on two rows of three products 100.
  • the box-shaped body 20 is made of paperboard obtained from a cardboard blank so as to limit the use of plastic.
  • Products 100 are for example cans for liquids as shown in figures 1-4 .
  • the products 100 may be other liquid containers such as flacons, other paperboard cartons for liquids or for other food or even different products.
  • the package 10 is advantageously free from a plastic packaging film wrapping the one or more rows of products 100 or wrapping the whole package 10.
  • Each of the products 100 comprises at least a vertical surface 101 and a base surface 102 adapted to be laid on a horizontal geometric plane.
  • the products may be square-shaped containers or in any case be shaped according to another geometric shape.
  • the box-shaped body 20 comprises a support base wall 21 which lies on the horizontal geometric plane, four side walls 22, 23 which rise upwards from the sides of the base support wall 21.
  • the base support wall 21 lies on the horizontal geometric plane and allows to support the base surface of each of the products 100.
  • the side walls 22, 23 are a first pair of side walls 22 and a second pair of side walls 23.
  • Each side wall 22, 23 comprises at least a portion that rests against at least a vertical surface 101 of each of the products 100 oriented outwardly.
  • an alternative body 20 which comprises only two opposite side walls 22 rising from two opposite sides of the base support wall 21 and a vertical wall 24 rising from the base support wall 21 and arranged to separate the two rows of products 100, wherein the vertical wall 24 intersects a geometric centre of the base support wall 21.
  • FIG 3 another alternative body 20 is shown wherein the vertical wall 24 extends into an upper wall 25, which extends from an upper side of the vertical wall 24 in a horizontal direction, wherein the upper wall 25 comprises a handle 55.
  • the upper wall 25 comprises a side extension 26 which extends downwards from an outer side of the upper wall 25.
  • each body 20 comprises the base support wall 21, only a side wall 22 rising from an outer side of the base support wall 21 and the vertical wall 24 rising from the opposite side of the base support wall 21 and arranged to separate the two rows of products 100
  • the upper wall 25 extends from the upper side of the vertical wall 26 and comprises the handle 55.
  • the side extension 26 extends downwards from the outer side of the upper wall 25.
  • the two vertical walls 24 of the two bodies 20 are glued together and match together.
  • the box-shaped body 20 comprises glue spots 41, 42, 43, 44, 46 between the inner surfaces of the walls 21, 22, 23, 24, 26 and products 100.
  • some of the walls 21, 22, 23, 24 and 26 may not comprise glue spots 100.
  • At least the inner surfaces of the walls 21, 22, 23, 24 and 26 comprising glue spots 41, 42, 43, 44, 46 are coated with a thin film 200 made of plastic material, such as a thin film 200 of synthetic polymers, bioplastics, green plastics, natural plastics, generic plastics or other types. Glue spots 41, 42, 43, 44, 46 are applied at such thin film 200.
  • Synthetic polymers may be for example polyethylene PE, polystyrene PS, polyvinyl chloride PVC or polyethylene terephthalate PET, or others.
  • the thin film 200 is made of polyethylene PE.
  • each glue spot 41, 42, 43, 44, 46 adheres more firmly to the cardboard body 20 than to the product 100.
  • This effect is achieved thanks to an adhesion being different between the glue of the glue spots 41, 42, 43, 44, 46 and the facing surface of the walls 21, 22, 23, 24, 26 of the body 20 of the package 10.
  • the presence of the thin film 200 makes it possible to distribute the strain for extracting the product 100 over a larger surface area of the body 20, thus avoiding that, when the product 100 is extracted from the package 10, any cardboard residue of the body 20, being torn, and/or any glue residue of the glue spots 41, 42, 43, 44, 4 remains attached to the outer surfaces 101, 102 of the product 100.
  • the thin film 200 may also be present over the entire facing surface of the body 20, wherein the facing surface of the body 20 denotes the surface of each of the walls 21, 22, 23, 24 and 26 that is facing the respective product 100 for gluing it, as shown in figures 1-4 .
  • the thin film 200 may even be applied to only a portion of the facing surface of the cardboard walls 21, 22, 23, 24 and 26 where the glue spot 41, 42, 43, 44, 46 is present.
  • no glue spot 41, 42, 43, 44, 46 remains attached to the products 100 when the product 100 is extracted from the package 10, but the glue spots 41, 42, 43, 44, 46 remain attached to the thin film 200.
  • other different bodies 20 may be provided comprising, on the inner surfaces of the cardboard walls 21, 22, 23, 24 and 26, the thin film 200 and the glue spots 41, 42, 43, 44, 46 which attach products 100 and the body 20.
  • the thin film 200 may be made of a material other than plastic, such as a thin film 200 made of aluminium or another equivalent material to achieve the same technical result.
  • the thin film 200 may be made of a woven material.
  • the thickness of the thin film 200 made of synthetic polymers is so thin that the cardboard of the body 20 is completely recyclable.
  • the thickness of thin film 200 is between 5 and 15 micrometres, preferably 10 micrometres.
  • the package 10 for packaging containers or products 100 is ecologically sustainable, more environmentally friendly, greatly reduces the use of plastic materials of the package 10 for packaging, is handy, allows to safely transport the packaged products 100, is recyclable, advantageously allows products to be extracted from the cardboard body 20 without portions of the cardboard body 20 remaining attached to the outer surface 101, 102 of the products 100 of the package 10.
  • the glue spot 41, 42, 43, 44, 46 remains attached with the thin film 200 applied to the cardboard of the facing surface of the walls 21, 22, 23, 24, 26 whatever the outer surface 101, 102 of the products 100 is.
  • the outer surface 101, 102 of product 100 may be very different depending on the manufacturer and the roughness of the outer surface 101, 102 of the product changes considerably depending on the product 100.
