Definitions
- the invention relates to a cigarette pack of the soft pack type, in which a multilayer cigarette stack for forming an essentially cuboid-shaped envelope which lies directly against the cigarettes is wrapped in a packaging film blank, the edges of which overlap one another and at least on one of the smaller ones Envelope side surface form an envelope fold. It also relates to an advantageous method for producing this pack of cigarettes.
- Cigarette packs of the soft pack type are generally produced in such a way that an eg three-layer stack of cigarettes is wrapped in an aluminum foil laminated with paper, a cuboid-shaped envelope being formed on which at least the opening side which is perpendicular to the length of the cigarette has an envelope fold .
- a second sleeve made of paper printed with the decor of the pack which is often referred to as a banderole or also as a soft cup or the like, is then applied to this first sleeve, the opening side of the first sleeve being left free.
- the banderole material When the banderole is applied, the banderole material is folded around the first sleeve with the formation of at least one envelope fold, the overlapping edges of the banderole material being connected to one another or the envelope folds being fixed with the aid of an aqueous-based glue. Then a paper strip, which forms the signet of the packaged cigarettes and extends across the opening side of the first envelope, is stuck on. Finally, a third shell, which is closed on all sides, is wrapped in one with a transparent plastic film provided on a strip of ice to produce sealed envelope folds.
- the packaging machine When carrying out this method, the packaging machine is supplied with three different packaging materials in the form of endless webs or format blanks, from which the corresponding envelopes are then produced by wrapping in and forming envelope folds.
- This packaging process is now relatively complex, both in terms of the material used and its mechanical aspect.
- the invention is first of all based on the object of specifying a cigarette pack of the soft pack type of the type mentioned at the beginning, which is less complex to produce than the known soft pack cigarette packs and which moreover has a special opening aid which, after opening the pack and removing one or more cigarettes, permits makeshift resealing of the pack.
- the packaging film is a composite film containing an aluminum film and provided with a decorative print, and that the overlapping edges of the packaging film cut on the casing are at least largely heated ⁇ seals are connected to each other, that a weakening line is provided in the composite film of the envelope, which in a partial area within one of the smaller envelope side surfaces parallel to the direction of the cigarette or on The edge of these cover side faces extends to the cover opening side and which runs out at two near the edge of the cover opening side or crosses this edge, and that an opening label is permanently glued to the cover surface within a region of the weakening line and thereby at least partially abuts the smaller envelope side surface mentioned, which is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the cigarette.
- the opening label is advantageously not connected to the surface of the cover at an edge region facing away from the cover opening side.
- the cigarette packet according to the invention is characterized in that the line of weakness extends not only within the smaller envelope side faces mentioned which are parallel to the longitudinal direction of the cigarette but also within at least one of the two subsequent larger envelope sides which are parallel to the longitudinal direction of the cigarette.
- the weakening line runs in a central region within the smaller envelope side surface mentioned below, parallel to the longitudinal direction of the cigarette, under the opening label and at two end regions on the large envelope side surfaces.
- the cigarette pack according to the invention is characterized in that the composite film has a layer adjacent to the packaged goods, optionally formed by paper or a paper composite, over parts of its surface that lie outside the points of the weakening lines, is not connected to the subsequent layer of the composite film. These partial areas lie at least in part on the two large envelope side surfaces.
- the invention further relates to an advantageous method for producing the cigarette pack according to the invention. This method is characterized in that the opening label is connected to the composite film before the casing is formed.
- a composite film which, for example, starting from the inside of the packaging, consists of bleached sodium kraft paper (60-120 g / m 2 ) and an aluminum film laminated with it and provided with a decorative print on its free surface There is a thickness of 7-9 ⁇ m, the printed surface being provided with a partial hot melt adhesive coating having a thickness of 10-20 g / m 2 .
- FIG. 1 For the manufacture of the cigarette pack, as is schematically indicated in FIG. 1, a three-layer cigarette stack 1 is formed, which is pushed (in a guide not shown in FIG. 1) in the direction of arrow 2 into a slot 3 of a drum 4, whereby the composite film 6 fed in the direction of the arrow 5 is drawn from the cigarette stack 1 into the slot 3. Then (see FIG. 2) the edges 7 and 8 of the packaging film are folded over and connected to one another by means of a hot melt adhesive coating 9 attached to the outside of the composite film edge 8 by heat sealing.
- FIG. 3 now shows the sleeve 10 formed in this phase of the production process from the composite film 1 and enclosing the cigarette stack 1, which in area 11 has a decoratively designed surface indicated in FIG.
- envelope folds 14 are formed from the end regions 12 and 13 of the sleeve 10, which is also partially provided with hot-melt adhesive coatings on its outer sides, of which only those in FIG. which closes the opening side of the pack can be seen. These envelope folds 14 are now fixed by heat sealing.
- Figures 5 to 9 each show a perspective schematic partial representation of the shell 15 with different variants of an opening aid.
- a common feature of all these variants is an opening label made of flat material, which may be provided with a self-adhesive coating.
- Such a self-adhesive opening label advantageously has the form of a paper label provided with a self-adhesive coating and has a grammage of 50-80 g / m 2 .
- a paper-aluminum foil composite (aluminum foil 7-12 ⁇ m thick) can be used as the opening label material instead of the paper layer, the self-adhesive coating being carried out on the paper side, or an approximately 12-20 ⁇ m thick plastic foil, for example made of PETP or 0PP can be used.
- opening labels which are glued to the surface of the envelope in the form of self-adhesive labels, are advantageously provided with a decorative or informative imprint on the front, the free aluminum surface generally being printed when aluminum-bonded is used as label material, and can be produced after the envelope has been produced 15 but also be applied to the still flat composite film serving as the material of the casing before the formation of the casing.
- a weakening line 16 is provided in the casing material, which preferably consists of a series of short punchings in the composite film which are separated from one another by material bridges and which are arranged along the weakening line course.
- the line of weakness 16 runs in its central part within one of the smaller shell side surfaces 17 and in its two end regions within the two large shell side surfaces obliquely towards the shell opening side 18, these end lines of weakness lines ending at the edges of the shell opening side 18 .
- an edge region 21 of the opening label 19 facing away from the case opening side is not connected to the surface of the case and thereby forms a narrow grip tab.
- the opening label 19 is gripped at the edge region 21 and in the direction of the arrow 22 drawn.
- the envelope region enclosed by the weakening line 16 is entrained by the opening label 19 by tearing the weakening line 16, after which it is removed from the emerging envelope in the manner of a "lid” held by a film hinge and stiffened by two envelope corners - Opening folds down. After cigarettes have been removed through this opening, this “lid” can be closed again and the edge 21 of the opening label 19 can be attached to its original position on the side of the envelope.
- FIG. 6 shows a variant of the opening aid according to FIG. 5. It differs from this only in that the opening label 23, which is designed as a self-adhesive label, is only applied to the smaller envelope side surface 17. This makes it easier to attach them to the finished shell.
- opening label 24 is applied to the composite film serving as the covering material even before the covering is formed.
- the opening label 24 is therefore partially folded into the envelope fold of the envelope opening side 18 and is fixed even more strongly to the envelope 15 by sealing the envelope fold.
- a self-adhesive label can be applied to the flat composite film much more easily than to the finished, but very soft packaging envelope.
- FIG. 8 shows a variant of the opening aid with an opening label 25, the line of weakness 16 ′ running in a U-shape along a section of the edge of the opening side 18 of the casing.
- This variant has the peculiarity that with filter cigarettes as packaged goods, when the pack is opened, the filters in the area of the opening are exposed as little as possible, which may possibly be desired for hygienic reasons.
- an opening aid is described as the last variant, in which a U-shaped weakening line 26 runs on both sides of an envelope edge 27 parallel to the longitudinal extension of the cigarette, the ends of the weakening line on two edges the case opening side 18 end.
- An opening label 28 lies on both sides of this envelope edge 27 on the envelope 15 and covers the line of weakness 26 to the ends thereof.
- the casing 15 is then opened by pulling the edge 29 of the opening label 28 in the direction of the arrow 30, tearing the line of weakness and forming a "cover" stiffened by a casing corner in an analogous manner to that described in the variant according to FIG. 5 . Analogous to FIG. 5, the casing 15 is closed again.
- FIG. 10 shows a partial section through the cigarette stack 1 provided with a “first envelope”.
- a composite film 31 is used, which consists of an outer aluminum composite 32, which only over partial areas of the composite film surface with a paper layer 33, for example from a bleached kraft paper with a basis weight of 30-80 g / m 2 by a Decor printing is matched to the appropriate partial lamination.
- the aluminum composite 32 can, for example, be constructed analogously to the composite film 31 used in the method variant described with reference to FIGS.
