Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a laminated packaging sheet, type comprising a primary layer associated with a weldable layer between which is interposed, in at least one marked area, a layer of permanent adhesive.
  • the invention further relates to a packaging comprising a wall external delimiting a housing provided with an access passage to said housing comprising such a packaging sheet.
  • Packages with a packaging sheet allowing easy opening and reclosing are currently used, for example, for packaging food products.
  • the structure of such leaves is described in particular in patent application FR-A-95-14117.
  • the laminated sheet used to allow the opening and the reclosure of the packaging has two layers of polymer between which a layer of permanent adhesive is interposed.
  • One of layers called “weldable or weldable layer” is intended to be oriented towards the inside of the package. It is suitable to be welded on the edge peripheral of a tray.
  • the other layer called the “support layer”, is intended to form the external face of the packaging, this layer possibly being printed.
  • the welding layer tears on either side of the welded region. After opening of the tray, there remains on the periphery thereof residual welded, consisting of the welded part of the welding layer.
  • the opening of the tray being obtained by rupture of the layer weldable, it should be chosen so that it has characteristics of rupture compatible with the conditions of use of the packaging.
  • the welding layer should be able to be torn manually, without the need to exert too much tensile force important on the packaging sheet. So the welding layers used are rather of reduced thickness.
  • the weldable layer should also have good welding characteristics to ensure a reliable bond of the packaging sheet on the tray.
  • the layer must be welding is compatible with the permanent adhesive interposed between the two leaf layers. To meet this condition, choose a rather thick layer.
  • the invention aims to provide a packaging sheet for opening and reopening of a package, the sealing layer of which can be chosen from a wide range.
  • the subject of the invention is a laminated packaging sheet, of the aforementioned type, characterized in that, in an identified area of the sheet where the permanent adhesive is present, the weldable layer comprises, on the one hand and other than a region to be welded, at least one weakening line of the weldable layer favoring its rupture along said lines.
  • the invention further relates to a packaging comprising a wall external delimiting a housing provided with an access passage to said housing, characterized in that said passage is closed by a laminated sheet according to any one of the preceding claims, which sheet is welded on said outer wall at the periphery of the passage following its weldable layer in a region demarcated essentially between the lines of weakness.
  • the package 10, shown in Figure 1 consists of a tray rectangular 12 and a flexible cover 14 for closing a passage access 16 inside the tray.
  • the tray 12 consists for example of a support layer outer material suitable, for example polyvinyl chloride covered on its inner surface with a weldable layer, for example, polyethylene.
  • the tray defines a receptacle 18 bordered around its entire periphery rim 20 delimiting a flat welding surface of the cover 14, according to straight welding 22.
  • the cover 14 is laminated, that is to say made of several layers superimposed. For reasons of clarity, the thickness of the layers is excessively augmented in the figures.
  • the cover 14 essentially consists of a support layer 24 and a weldable layer 26 with a layer of permanent adhesive 28 interposed flat between them over the entire surface.
  • the support layer 24 advantageously includes prints on its outer face. It can also include a transparent layer bearing such laminated prints on the outer surface of the diaper support by means of a layer of glue applied on its face printed.
  • the support layer 24 is, for example, a polyethylene layer 36 ⁇ m thick.
  • the layer of permanent adhesive 28 is produced by coating using an adhesive mass initially in solution, especially in dispersion aqueous. It can also be applied hot, in particular by extrusion.
  • a permanent adhesive commonly referred to as “hot melt” is ideal for this application. It is possible in particular to use Plastoflex 87.18 marketed by the company Paramelt in Netherlands.
  • the thickness of the adhesive layer 28 is advantageously included between 10 and 30 ⁇ m and is in particular equal to around 20 ⁇ m.
  • the weldable layer 26 is for example a polyethylene layer or polypropylene whose thickness is between 20 and 60 ⁇ m, and is in particular advantageously equal to 40 ⁇ m. This layer is made in a material allowing welding with the layer facing the tray 12.
  • the peripheral weld bead 22 extends over the four sides of the rim 20 of the rectangular tray. he provides watertight sealing of the tray. For reasons of clarity, the peripheral weld 22 has been grayed out in FIG. 2.
  • the weldable layer 26 has two lines of weakness 30A, 30B extending parallel to each other.
  • a welded straight region 22A of the peripheral weld which extends along the length of a rim 20 of the tray is bordered by these two lines 30A, 30B.
  • the weakening lines 30A, 30B each consist of a pre-cut line formed by a continuous groove or notch opening on the face of the sealable layer which is oriented towards the tray, thus as shown in Figure 2.
  • the depth of the groove is between 25 and 100% of the thickness of the weldable layer 26. It is preferably substantially equal to 50% of the thickness of the weldable layer.
  • the welded region 22A advantageously extends over the entire width denoted i of the band delimited by the weakening lines 30A and 30B.
  • the width i is such that the weakening lines are outside of the welded region 22A.
  • the weakening lines 30A and 30B are advantageously made in the weldable layer while the packaging sheets are still assembled to form a continuous strip adjacent packaging sheets.
  • the weakening lines 30A, 30B are arranged in the machine direction, i.e. the direction of flow of the strip formed from the adjacent sheets. These lines therefore extend parallel to the longitudinal edge of the strip.
  • the weakening lines 30A, 30B consisting of continuous grooves are made before placing the sheet forming the cover on the tray. They are for example produced by continuous cutting at using a laser beam when the strip runs. Alternatively, the lines of weakening are carried out by cutting with a knife. In the latter solution, during the circulation of the strip, of the rotary cutting members are brought into contact with the free surface of the weldable layer 26, in order to cut it to a determined depth corresponding to the desired depth for grooves 30A, 30B.
  • the peripheral weld 22 is obtained by heat sealing. During the welding, the weldable inner layer of the tray and the weldable layer 26 of the packaging sheet melt together, making it possible to obtain, after cooling, a very reliable weld.
  • the presence of the permanent adhesive 28 on a welded bead and / or the facing surface of the support layer 24 allows the subsequent closing of the packaging by replacing the cover 14.
  • the presence of the weakening lines 30A, 30B promotes the opening of the tray by pulling on the cover 14.
  • the initial thickness and tear strength of the weldable layer 26 it is possible to determine the depth of the grooves forming the weakening lines so that these allow a manual tearing of the weldable layer 26 by simple pulling on cover 14.
  • the characteristics of the weldable layer 26 can be determined depending on welding constraints, compatibility with permanent adhesive or any other constraint related to the protection of packaged products, without it being necessary to take account of the characteristics tear needed to open the package.
  • the tearability of the weldable layer 26 is determined by the nature of the weakening lines.
  • Figure 4 is shown an alternative embodiment of a tray according to the invention.
  • the weakening lines 30A and 30B are spaced apart by an interval l greater than the width, denoted i, of the welds 42 practiced along the other three sides of the tray.
  • the fourth welding, noted 44, of the lid on the tray is carried out according to any the extent delimited between the weakening lines 30A and 30B. So the weld 44 has a greater width, and in particular advantageously included between double and quadruple the thickness of the other welds 42.
  • Figure 5 is shown an alternative embodiment of a sheet packaging according to the invention welded to the rim of a tray, noted 52.
  • the weldable layer 26 includes on either side of the weld 22 two weakening lines 56A, 56B and 58A, 58B.
  • the weakening lines are formed by continuous grooves leading to the layer of permanent adhesive 28.
  • the packaging shown in Figures 6 and 7 forms a packaging bag.
  • This consists of a folded packaging sheet according to the invention on itself welded laterally on both sides and whose two ends are joined to each other by welding, with overlap. More specifically, a weld 100 is made between the free surface of the support sheet 24 and the free surface facing the weldable layer 26.
  • the sealing of the sachet is of the leather against flesh type.
  • the welding is carried out between weakening lines 30A, 30B initially formed in the sheet on either side of the region to be welded.
  • the weakening lines are arranged according to the machine direction, i.e. the direction of tape unwinding on the machine manufacturing bags.
  • This direction of development also corresponds in the direction of travel of the strip during the manufacture of the bags.
  • the weakening can be easily carried out continuously.
  • the weldable layer 26 can be chosen with characteristics appropriate to the type of packaging desired, regardless of its breaking characteristics. Indeed, the presence of weakening lines allows, whatever the characteristics of the layer, to ensure that it can be torn manually along the lines of weakness.
  • the permanent adhesive extends over the entire surface of the weldable layer.
  • the permanent adhesive may not be placed between the support layer 24 and the weldable layer 26 that in the identified areas, the sealing weld packaging then being carried out in at least one of these zones marked with permanent adhesive between lines of weakness previously arranged.
  • the sheet can be manufactured by laminating and laminating. It can also be manufactured by co-extension overlapping layers.
