Definitions

  • Container comprising a relief-like outer surface and method for producing such a container
  • the invention relates to a container and to a method for processing a container wall according to the preamble of the independent claims .
  • Containers of this kind are used for packaging e.g. pharmaceutical, dental or cosmetic products such that blind or visually impaired people can recognise the container by their sense of touch.
  • a relief-like surface can also be created by attaching an embossed sticker or label to the container.
  • a sticker has the disadvantage, that it is usually not suited for flexible containers.
  • only certain shapes of containers are suited for attaching stickers.
  • the overall visual appearance of a container with sticker is usually not as good as if the printing or embossment is applied directly on the container.
  • a problem to be solved by the present invention lies therefore in providing a container of the kind mentioned at the outset, which can be produced at a low price, and which allows to change the design of the relief more flexible than it is possible with known con- tainers .
  • a further problem to be solved by the present invention lies in providing a method for producing a container of the kind mentioned at the outset, which is less costly and allows to change the design of the relief faster and at a lower price.
  • This problem is solved by independent claim £ by providing a method for creating a relief-like surface on a container wall which comprises the steps of applying a layer of silk screen printing lacquer by silk screen, printing to at least one first area applying a layer of hot stamping foil by hot stamping to at least one second area, wherein the at least one first area and the at least one second area overlap at least partially.
  • Fig. 2 a three dimensional cross sectional partial view of a container with a relief-like outer surface according to the invention
  • Fig. 3 a cross sectional partial view of a further embodiment of a container with a relief-like outer surface according to the invention
  • Fig. 4 a cross sectional partial view of a further embodiment of a container with a relief-like outer surface according to the invention
  • Fig. 5 a view of a tube with Braille symbols according to the invention
  • Fig. 6 a hot stamping apparatus and a tube in a cross sectional partial view. Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention
  • the method for producing a container according to the invention is illustrated by Figs, la to le. Each figure shows the container in a cross sectional partial view in a particular production stage.
  • the method for applying a relief to a container according to the invention comprises substantially four steps .
  • Fig. la shows the container wall 1 before ap- plying the method according to the invention.
  • the container wall is for example a laminate, comprising plastics and a metal layer.
  • the container wall 1 is in particular a Neopac Polyfoil® laminate.
  • the production process of the container body is substantially finished ex- cept for its outer surface.
  • a layer of UV-lacquer 2 is applied.
  • the lacquer is applied to the entire outer surface of the container wall 1. It provides a base for the subsequent silk screen printing.
  • the lacquer is hardened using UV-light.
  • Lacquers suitable for application in this step are e.g. provided by Schekolin AG, Liechtenstein.
  • the container at the end of the first step is shown in Fig. lb.
  • a layer of silk screen printing lacquer 3 is applied to certain areas using a silk screen printing technique.
  • the pattern of the relief can for example comprise Braille symbols, textures, letters and brand logos.
  • the layer of silk screen printing lacquer 3 has preferably a thickness in the range of about 10 ⁇ m to 100 ⁇ m, in particular about 40 ⁇ m which can be well per- ceived by the sense of touch.
  • the silk screen printing lacquer 3 is hardened using UV-light. It is also possible to perform the silk screen printing more than once to obtain a greater thickness.
  • the container at the end of the second step is shown in Fig. lc .
  • a layer of lacquer 4 is applied to the entire surface, i.e. onto the areas with and without silk screen printing lacquer 3.
  • the lacquer 4 is heat hardened.
  • Heat hardened lacquers have the advantage that they have a better elasticity than UV hardened lacquers. Lacquers suitable for application in this step are e.g. provided by Valspar Corp., Minneapolis.
  • the container at the end of the third step is shown in Fig. Id.
  • a foil 5 is applied to cer- tain areas and in particular to the printed areas using a hot stamping technique.
  • hot stamping is not applied to create a negative relief, but is rather applied to enhance the positive relief created by the silk screen printing of the second step, in particular by providing it with a protective layer.
  • the hot stamping is therefore preferably performed using a relatively soft polymer cliche with a shore value of 90 or less, in particular with a shore value between 85 and 60.
  • a soft cliche assures that the positive relief created by the silk screen printing is not impaired.
  • the use of a soft cliche also assures, that the barrier function of the container wall is not impaired.
  • Hot stamping a negative relief, in particular by using a hard cliche would damage barrier layers.
  • the hot stamping foil has prefera- bly a thickness between 10 and 15 ⁇ m.
  • the hot stamping foil can be transparent, coloured and/or metallised. Suited hot stamping foils are e.g. provided by Leonhard Kurz GmbH & Co. KG, F ⁇ rth, Germany. The container at the end of the fourth step, i.e. the finished container, is shown in Fig. le.
  • Fig. 2 shows a three dimensional cross sectional partial view of a container with a relief-like outer surface according to the invention.
  • a container wall 1 carries UV-hardened lacquer 2, silk screen print lacquer 3 , a heat hardened lacquer 4 and hot stamping foil 5.
  • the shown arrangement can e.g. be used for Braille symbols.
  • the arrangement of screen printing lacquer 3 covered by hot stamping foil 5 is more resistant to wear than a sole layer of screen printing lacquer 3.
  • Fig. 3 shows a cross sectional partial view of a container with a relief-like outer surface according to the invention.
  • the method for producing a container according to the invention allows to create different kinds of areas: First areas 7 to which silk screen print lacquer 3 was applied, second areas 8 to which hot stamping foil 5 was applied, and third areas 9 to which both screen printing lacquer 3 and hot stamping foil 5 was applied.
  • First areas 7 to which silk screen print lacquer 3 was applied second areas 8 to which hot stamping foil 5 was applied
  • third areas 9 to which both screen printing lacquer 3 and hot stamping foil 5 was applied.
  • Fig. 4 shows a cross sectional partial view of a further embodiment of a container with a relief-like outer surface according to the invention.
  • a 3D texture is created using the method according to the invention.
  • Containers which are designed in this way can be recognised by the blind very quickly, since large portions of the container can have a certain characteristic relief, than rather just a small field of Braille symbols.
  • These textures have also the advantage that also special visual effects can be achieved e.g. by applying a metallised hot stamping foil 5 to certain areas of the texture .
  • Fig. 5 shows a view of a tube 11 with Braille symbols 10 according to the invention.
  • the Braille sym- bols are created by a layer of silk screen printing lacquer 3 and hot stamping foil 5 as described above referring to fig. 2.
  • the tube 11 is flexible and preferably made from a laminate material, such as the NEOPAC Poly- foil® tube.
  • the container according to the invention can also be a bottle or a flacon.
  • Fig. 6 shows a hot stamping apparatus and tube 11 in a cross sectional partial view.
  • the tube 11 is carried by a rotatable mandrel 13.
  • the mandrel 13 is rotated while the cliche 12 is moved horizontally along with the rotation.
  • a similar arrangement can also be used in the lacquering or silk-screen printing. In each case a mandrel is rotated while the particular lacquer is applied.
  • the method for creating a relief-like surface is applied to a prefabricated container, in particu- lar to a prefabricated tube.
  • the method for creating a relief-like surface can also be applied to a foil, wherein the container is fabricated later using this foil.
  • prefabricating containers has the advantage that changing the text and design of the label or relief can be done faster and at a lower price.
  • the invention is in particular suitable for Braille labelling primary packages .
  • the secondary package is Braille labelled.
  • Braille labelling primary packages according to the invention reduces the risk that packages and thereby also their contents are mixed up significantly.
