Abstract

The cardboard packing has a lid element (26) consisting of two interconnected flat sub-elements (28,30) connected to respective side walls (14,16) by corresponding bend lines (22,24). Each sub-element has two cut-outs to form gripping holes which through the forming of the lid element come to lie one upon the other, with the distance (A) between the holes (32,34) of the first sub-element being greater than the distance (B) between the holes (36,38) of the second sub-element.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Kartonverpackung, insbesondere für die Aufbewahrung und den Transport von flaschen- und/oder dosenartigen Behältnissen, mit einem Bodenelement und zwei mit dem Bodenelement über gegenüberliegende Biegelinien verbundene Seitenwände sowie einem dem Bodenelement gegenüberliegenden Deckelelement.The present invention relates to a cardboard packaging, in particular for the storage and transport of bottle and / or can-like containers, having a bottom element and two side walls connected to the bottom element via opposite bending lines and a lid element opposite the bottom element.

Derartige Kartonverpackungen sind bekannt. Insbesondere werden bei bekannten Kartonverpackungen spezielle Kraftkartonsorten verwendet, um die notwendige Stabilität und Reißfähigkeit der Kartonverpackung zu gewährleisten. Dies gilt insbesondere für den Transport von Getränkeflaschen, die im befüllten Zustand eine entsprechend hohe Kraft auf die Kartonverpackung ausüben. Die Verwendung von Kraftkarton ist jedoch sehr teuer und ökologisch gesehen bedenklich. Aus ökologischen Gründen sollte daher idealerweise Recyclingkarton zur Herstellung der genannten Kartonverpackungen verwendet werden. Nachteilig hieran ist jedoch, dass Recyclingkarton eine schlechtere Reißfestigkeit aufweist als der sogenannte Kraftkarton.Such carton packages are known. In particular, special Kraftkartonsorten be used in known cardboard packaging to ensure the necessary stability and tear strength of the cardboard packaging. This applies in particular to the transport of beverage bottles which exert a correspondingly high force on the cardboard packaging when filled. However, the use of kraft cardboard is very expensive and ecologically questionable. For environmental reasons, recycled cardboard should therefore ideally be used to produce the cardboard packaging. The disadvantage of this, however, is that recycled cardboard has a lower tear resistance than the so-called kraft carton.
