Description
Die Erfindung betrifft nicht wiederverschließbare Verpackungen für gesundheitsgefährdende Erzeugnisse, insbesondere für pharmazeutische Erzeugnisse. Sie betrifft ferner Verfahren zum Herstellen solcher Verpackungen und zum Verpackung von Produkten mittels dieser Verpackungen.The invention relates to non-resealable packaging for hazardous products, in particular for pharmaceutical products. It further relates to methods for producing such packages and for packaging products by means of these packages.
An Verpackungen, die zur Verpackung potentiell gesundheitsgefährdender Erzeugnisse dienen, werden erhöhte Sicherheits-Anforderungen gestellt, um eine unbefugte Entnahme oder eine nicht bestimmungsgemäße Verwendung dieser Erzeugnisse zu verhindern. Insbesondere bei der Verpackung von Arzneimitteln muß durch geeignete Maßnahmen sichergestellt werden, daß das verpackte Produkt nicht durch Kinder aus der Verpackung entnommen werden kann. Für diesen Zweck sind kindersichere Verpackungen unterschiedlicher Art entwickelt worden, und für die Prüfung der Kindersicherheit wurden international gültige, normierte Prüfverfahren eingeführt (DIN EN 862, betreffend nichtwiederverschließbare Verpackungen für nichtpharmazeutische Produkte; DIN EN 14375, betreffend nichtwiederverschließbare Verpackungen für pharmazeutische Produkte.Packaging intended for the packaging of potentially hazardous products is subject to increased safety requirements in order to prevent unauthorized removal or misuse of these products. In particular, in the packaging of medicines must be ensured by appropriate measures that the packaged product can not be removed by children from the package. For this purpose, child-resistant packaging of various types has been developed and for the testing of child safety internationally standardized testing procedures have been introduced (DIN EN 862 concerning non-reclosable packaging for non-pharmaceutical products; DIN EN 14375 concerning non-reclosable packaging for pharmaceutical products.
Allerdings darf die kindersichere Gestaltung nicht dazu führen, daß das befugte und bestimmungsgemäße Öffnen der Verpackung in unangemessener weise erschwert wird. Eine kindersichere Medikamentenverpackung muß so beschaffen sein, daß beispielsweise auch ältere Menschen in der Lage sind, diese selbständig und innerhalb weniger Minuten zu öffnen
Bei den Verpackungen der vorliegenden Erfindung handelt es sich um nicht wiederverschließbare Verpackungen mit zumindest einer lösbaren Verbindung (z. B. Siegelnaht). Das Öffnen erfolgt in der Weise, daß eine oder mehrere lösbare Verbindungen manuell, ohne Zuhilfenahme von Hilfsmitteln oder Werkzeugen, durch Auseinanderziehen gelöst werden, wodurch das verpackte Erzeugnis zugänglich wird und durch die entstandene Öffnung entnommen werden kann.The packages of the present invention are non-resealable packages having at least one releasable connection (eg, sealed seam). The opening is carried out in such a way that one or more detachable connections are released manually by pulling apart, without the aid of tools or tools, whereby the packaged product is accessible and can be removed through the resulting opening.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung war es, eine Verpackung der vorstehend genannten Art bereitzustellen, welche für die Verpackung von potentiell gesundheitsgefährdenden Erzeugnissen geeignet ist und die insbesondere als kindersichere Verpackung geeignet ist, und welche die bestimmungsgemäße Handhabung auf einfache Weise ermöglicht.Object of the present invention was to provide a package of the aforementioned type, which is suitable for the packaging of potentially harmful products and which is particularly suitable as a child-resistant packaging, and which allows the intended handling in a simple manner.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Verpackung gemäß Anspruch 1, durch die Verwendung einer solchen Verpackung nach Anspruch 15 sowie durch das Herstellungs- und Verpackungsverfahren nach Anspruch 16 gelöst, sowie durch die in den abhängigen Ansprüchen beschriebenen Ausführungsformen.This object is achieved by a package according to claim 1, by the use of such a package according to claim 15 and by the manufacturing and packaging method according to claim 16, and by the embodiments described in the dependent claims.
Gemäß Anspruch 1 weist eine erfindungsgemäße, nicht wiederverschließbare Verpackung für gesundheitsgefährdende Erzeugnisse, insbesondere pharmazeutische Erzeugnisse, ein erstes Packstoff-Element und ein zweites Packstoff-Element auf, wobei die beiden Packstoff-Elemente übereinanderliegend angeordnet sind. Ferner weist die Verpackung mindestens einen ersten Flächenabschnitt auf, an dessen Rand oder Rändern die beiden Packstoff-Elemente lösbar miteinander verbunden sind, wobei zwischen den beiden Packstoff-Elementen mindestens ein allseitig umschlossener Hohlraum zur Aufnahme des Packgutes gebildet wird. Des weiteren weist die Verpackung mindestens einen zweiten Flächenabschnitt auf, der außerhalb des genannten ersten Flächenabschnittes liegt oder an diesen angrenzt, und an dessen Rand oder Rändern die beiden Packstoff-Elemente lösbar miteinander verbunden sind. Zumindest eines der beiden Packstoff-Elemente ist mit mindestens einer Struktur versehen, die innerhalb des zweiten Flächenabschnitts (12) verläuft, und die das Einreißen des/der Packstoff-Elements/Elemente ermöglicht.According to claim 1, a non-resealable packaging according to the invention for health-endangering products, in particular pharmaceutical products, a first packaging material element and a second packaging material element, wherein the two packaging material elements are arranged one above the other. Further, the package has at least a first surface portion, at the edge or edges of the two packaging material elements are releasably connected to each other, wherein between the two packaging material elements at least one side enclosed cavity for receiving the packaged goods is formed. Furthermore, the package has at least one second surface portion lying outside of or adjacent to said first surface portion and at its edge or edges the two packaging material elements are detachably connected to each other. At least one of the two packaging material elements is provided with at least one structure which extends within the second surface portion (12) and which permits tearing of the packaging material element (s).
Das Öffnen der Verpackung erfolgt allgemein in der Weise, das eines der beiden Packstoff-Elemente, oder beide, innerhalb des zweiten Flächenabschnitts mittels Fingerkraft eingerissen wird, wobei an der genannten Struktur begonnen wird. Dadurch werden zwei frei zugängliche Ränder der Packstoff-Elemente geschaffen, die als Anfass-Hilfen oder Anfass-Laschen dienen können, um die lösbaren Verbindungen zwischen den beiden Packstoff-Elementen aufzutrennen. Schließlich werden dadurch auch die lösbaren Verbindungen im ersten Flächenabschnitt gelöst, wodurch der Hohlraum mit dem Packgut zugänglich wird.The opening of the package is generally carried out in the manner that one of the two packaging material elements, or both, is torn within the second surface portion by means of finger power, wherein said structure is started. As a result, two freely accessible edges of the packaging material elements are created, which can serve as grasping aids or grasping lugs, in order to separate the detachable connections between the two packaging material elements. Finally, the releasable connections in the first surface section are thereby also released, as a result of which the cavity becomes accessible to the packaged goods.
Durch diese Merkmale ist es möglich, die Verpackung so zu gestalten, daß das Öffnen nur durch eine geordnete Abfolge von mindestens vier Schritten möglich ist:
- (i) Falten oder Umknicken der Verpackung entlang einer Linie, wodurch die genannte Struktur zum Einreißen zugänglich wird;
- (ii) Einreißen der Verpackung an der mit genannten Struktur versehenen Stelle und Weiterreißen entlang dieser Struktur,
- (iii) Ergreifen der freigewordenen Kanten der Packstoff-Elemente als Anfaßhilfen (Aufreiß-Laschen), und
- (iv) Auseinanderziehen und Lösen der Verbindungen zwischen den Packstoff-Elementen.
Diese Handhabung ist für Kinder, insbesondere Kleinkinder, mit erheblichen Schwierigkeiten verbunden, jedoch für Erwachsene problemlos und ohne Zuhilfenahme von Werkzeugen möglich.
- (i) folding or crumpling the package along a line, whereby said tear-out structure becomes accessible;
- (ii) tearing the package at the location provided with said structure and tearing it along this structure,

- (iv) pulling apart and releasing the connections between the packaging material elements.
This handling is for children, especially infants, associated with considerable difficulties, but for adults easily and without the aid of tools possible.
Allgemein müssen die für die Herstellung der Packstoff-Elemente verwendeten Packstoffe eine Reißfestigkeit aufweisen, die ausreichend hoch ist, so daß die Verpackung im unbeschädigten Zustand nicht ohne Zuhilfenahme von Hilfsmitteln wie z. B. Werkzeugen zerstört werden kann. Hierfür geeignete Packstoffe sind dem Fachmann bekannt; beispielsweise können folienförmige, flexible Materialien aus Kunststoff, Metall (z. B. Aluminium) oder Verbundwerkstoffe aus den genannten Stoffen verwendet werden. Als folienförmige Materialien können sowohl Monofolien als auch zwei- oder mehrschichtige Laminate verwendet werden. Als Kunststoffmaterialien kommen insbesondere folgende in Betracht, einzeln oder in Kombinationen: Polyester (z. B. Polyethylenterephthalat), Polyethylen (z. B. HDPE, LDPE), Polypropylen, Polyisobutylen, Polystyrol, Polyvinylchlorid, Polyamide, Polycarbonat, Cellulose-Acetat. Die Dicke der folienförmigen Materialien liegt vorzugsweise im Bereich von 5 bis 300 µm, besonders bevorzugt 50 bis 200 µm.In general, the packaging materials used for the production of packaging material elements must have a tensile strength that is sufficiently high, so that the package in the undamaged state without the aid of aids such. B. tools can be destroyed. Suitable packaging materials for this purpose are known to the person skilled in the art; For example, foil-shaped, flexible materials made of plastic, metal (eg aluminum) or composites of the substances mentioned can be used. As film-shaped materials both monofilms and two- or multi-layer laminates can be used. Suitable plastic materials are, in particular, the following, individually or in combinations: polyesters (eg polyethylene terephthalate), polyethylene (eg HDPE, LDPE), polypropylene, polyisobutylene, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, polyamides, polycarbonate, cellulose acetate. The thickness of the film-shaped materials is preferably in the range of 5 to 300 .mu.m, more preferably 50 to 200 .mu.m.
Ein weiteres, bevorzugtes Folienmaterial ist Barex® (BP Chemicals), ein Copolymer aus Acrylnitril und Butadien. Barex ist erhältlich durch Pfropf-Polymerisation aus 73-77 Teilen Acrylnitril und 23-27 Teilen Methylacrylat in Gegenwart von 8-18 Teilen eines Butadien-Acrylnitril-Copolymers, welches einen Anteil von etwa 70 % Butadien aufweist. Barex ist der siegelfähige Teil eines Packstoffverbunds. Es ist ein Material mit außergewöhnlich hoher chemischer Trägheit und stellt eine exzellente Sauerstoffbarriere dar, besitzt jedoch eine gewisse Permeabilität für Wasserdampf.
Aufgrund seiner guten Barriere-Eigenschaften und chemischen Widerstandsfähigkeit eignet es sich insbesondere zum Verpacken von Arzneimitteln mit einem Gehalt an aggressiven und/oder flüchtigen Wirkstoffen, z. B. Nicotin.Another preferred film material is Barex® (BP Chemicals), a copolymer of acrylonitrile and butadiene. Barex is available by graft polymerization from 73-77 parts of acrylonitrile and 23-27 parts of methyl acrylate in the presence of 8-18 parts of a butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymer having a content of about 70% butadiene. Barex is the sealable part of a packaging composite. It is a material with exceptionally high chemical inertia and provides an excellent oxygen barrier, but has some permeability to water vapor.
Due to its good barrier properties and chemical resistance, it is particularly suitable for packaging medicines containing aggressive and / or volatile substances, eg. B. nicotine.
Die beiden Packstoff-Elemente können aus denselben Materialien hergestellt sein, oder aus verschiedenartigen Materialien. Vorzugsweise besteht mindestens eines der beiden Packstoff-Elemente aus transparentem Material (z. B. transparente Kunststoff-Folie).
Des weiteren umfaßt die Erfindung Ausführungsformen, bei denen ein Packstoff-Element oder beide Packstoff-Elemente gleich oder unterschiedlich gefärbt sind, wobei es sich jeweils um eine transparente oder opake Färbung handeln kann.The two packaging material elements can be made of the same materials, or of different materials. Preferably, at least one of the two packaging material elements consists of transparent material (eg transparent plastic film).
Furthermore, the invention includes embodiments in which a packaging material element or both packaging material elements are dyed the same or different, which may each be a transparent or opaque coloring.
Beispielsweise kann eines der beiden Packstoff-Elemente aus einem nichttransparenten Verbundwerkstoff aus Papier (oder Pappe) mit Kunststoffen (z. B. mit Polyethylen oder Polyethylenterephthalat beschichtete Papiere), und das zweite Packstoff-Element aus einer transparenten, farblosen oder gefärbten Kunststofffolie hergestellt sein. Zur verminderung der Luft-, Licht- und Wasserdampfdurchlässigkeit ist es vorteilhaft, wenn zumindest eine Oberfläche der Trägerschicht oder/und der Deckschicht metallisiert ist (z. B. mit Aluminium beschichtet).For example, one of the two packaging material elements may be made of a non-transparent composite of paper (or paperboard) with plastics (eg, polyethylene or polyethylene terephthalate coated papers), and the second packaging material element may be made of a transparent, colorless, or colored plastic film. In order to reduce the permeability to air, light and water vapor, it is advantageous if at least one surface of the carrier layer or / and the cover layer is metallised (eg coated with aluminum).
Die genannten lösbaren Verbindungen werden vorzugsweise durch Siegelnähte oder Siegelflächen gebildet. Als Siegelmedium können insbesondere peelfähige Folienlacke (Peel-Lack) oder Schmelzkleber verwendet werden. Geeignete Siegelmassen und Siegelverfahren sind dem Fachmann bekannt, z. B. Siegelmassen auf Basis von Polyethylen-LD oder EthylenVinylacetat-Copolymeren). Es kommen sowohl Heißsiegelverfahren als auch Kaltsiegelverfahren in Betracht. Vorzugsweise wird die peel-fähige Verbindung durch Heißsiegeln bei Temperaturen im Bereich zwischen 50 °C und 250 °C, insbesondere 50 bis 200 °C, unter Verwendung von Hotmelts erzeugt.The said releasable connections are preferably formed by sealing seams or sealing surfaces.

Die Messungen erfolgten an einer Zugprüfmaschine der Fa. FRANK unter Verwendung einer Probenaufnahme für Einreißversuche (Typ No. 00740).Tear strength and tear propagation resistance can be determined by means of known tensile testing machines (eg available from FRANK Prüfgeräte GmbH, D-69488 Birkenau). For example, in such measurements a tear strength of 70 N and a tear strength of 0.5 N was determined; in another case, the tear strength was 95 N and the tear propagation resistance was 1.5 N, measured in each case on the two interconnected packaging material elements which form the packaging. The measurements were carried out on a tensile testing machine from FRANK using a sample holder for tearing tests (type No. 00740).
Andererseits ist darauf zu achten, daß die Reißfestigkeit nicht zu gering ist, weil dann kein ausreichender Schutz der Packgutes mehr gewährleistet werden kann, und die Gefahr besteht, daß die genannten Anfaßhilfen beim Öffnen der Verpackung abreißen. Dies läßt sich durch einfache Versuche ermitteln.On the other hand, it should be ensured that the tear strength is not too low, because then no sufficient protection of the packaged goods can be more guaranteed, and there is a risk that the aforementioned Anfaßhilfen tear off when opening the package. This can be determined by simple experiments.
Materialien, welche die genannten Eigenschaften (Reißfestigkeit, Weiterreißfestigkeit) aufweisen, sind dem Fachmann bekannt; besonders geeignet sind Polyesterfolien.Materials which have the properties mentioned (tensile strength, tear propagation resistance) are known to the person skilled in the art; Particularly suitable are polyester films.
Besonders bevorzugt sind Packstoff-Materialien, insbesondere Kunststoff-Folien, die in ihrer Längs- bzw. Quer-Richtung eine unterschiedliche Weiterreißfestigkeit aufweisen. Die genannten Strukturen, welche das Einreißen und Weiterreißen des/der Packstoff-Elemente ermöglichen, werden vorzugsweise entlang derjenigen Richtung der Folie angebracht, in welcher die Weiterreißfestigkeit am niedrigsten ist. Abhängig vom gewünschten Design der Verpackung und der Konfektionierungsanlage können die Einreiß- und Weiterreißhilfen auch in einer anderen Richtung angebracht werden, als vorstehend beschrieben.Particularly preferred are packaging material materials, in particular plastic films, which have a different tear propagation resistance in their longitudinal or transverse direction. Said structures, which allow tearing and tearing of the packaging material (s), are preferably applied along the direction of the film in which the tear propagation resistance is lowest. Depending on the desired design of the packaging and the packaging system, the tearing and tear propagation aids can also be mounted in a different direction than described above.
Insbesondere können für diesen Zweck Kunststoff-Folien verwendet werden, die nur in einer Richtung gereckt wurden, oder die in Längsrichtung stärker gereckt wurden als in Querrichtung, oder umgekehrt. Derartig behandelte Folien, z. B. Polyesterfolien, Polystyrolfolien, Polyamidfolien, Polyethylenfolien oder Polycarbonatfolien sind dem Fachmann bekannt. Auf diese Weise wird das bestimmungsgemäße Einrei-βen des Packstoff-Materials erleichtert, ohne daß die mechanische Stabilität der Anfaßlaschen beeinträchtigt ist.In particular, plastic films may be used for this purpose, which were stretched in one direction only, or which were stretched more in the longitudinal direction than in the transverse direction, or vice versa. Such treated films, for. As polyester films, polystyrene films, polyamide films, polyethylene films or polycarbonate films are known in the art. In this way, the intended Einrei-βen the packaging material is facilitated without the mechanical stability of the gripping tabs is impaired.
Die erfindungsgemäßen Verpackungen zeichnen sich vorzugsweise dadurch aus, daß das darin verpackte Packgut Kindern ohne Werkzeug nicht zugänglich ist; gemäß einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind die Verpackungen kindersicher gemäß DIN EN 14375 oder/und nach ASTM D3475-03a.The packages according to the invention are preferably characterized in that the packaged goods packed therein are not accessible to children without tools; According to a particularly preferred embodiment, the packages are child resistant according to DIN EN 14375 and / or according to ASTM D3475-03a.
Die erfindungsgemäße Verpackung kann als einzelne Verpackung vorliegen; es ist aber auch vorgesehen, zwei oder mehrere solcher Verpackungen zu kombinieren, so daß eine Verpackungseinheit entsteht, beispielsweise in Form eines Streifens oder einer Karte. Diese miteinander verbundenen Verpackungen können vorzugsweise in aufgerollter Form oder ziehharmonikaförmig gefaltet vorliegen. Dabei können zwischen den einzelnen verbundenen Verpackungen Perforationslinien vorgesehen sein, welche das Abtrennen einer einzelnen Verpackung ermöglichen. Beispielsweise können ca. 50 bis 500 solcher Verpackungen in Form einer Spender-Rolle um einen Wickelkern herum aufgerollt sein. Jede der miteinander verbundenen, abtrennbaren Verpackungen enthält eine Einzeldosis eines pharmazeutischen wirkstoffes, und jede dieser Verpackungen weist die Merkmale einer kindergesicherten Verpackung auf, wie vorstehend beschrieben.The packaging according to the invention can be present as a single package; but it is also intended to combine two or more such packaging, so that a packaging unit is formed, for example in the form of a strip or a card. These interconnected packages may preferably be present in rolled-up form or accordion-folded. It can be provided between the individual connected packaging perforation lines, which allow the separation of a single package. For example, about 50 to 500 such packages may be rolled up in the form of a donor roll around a winding core. Each of the interconnectable, separable packages contains a single dose of a pharmaceutically active agent, and each of these packages has the characteristics of a child-resistant package as described above.
Des weiteren können zwei oder mehrere einzelne Verpackungen auch in einer radiärsymmetrischen Anordnung miteinander verbunden sein, wodurch eine Verpackungseinheit in Form einer Spender-Scheibe gebildet wird, aus welcher die einzelnen Verpackungen nacheinander abgetrennt werden können. Auch in diesem Fall enthält jede der miteinander verbundenen, abtrennbaren Verpackungen eine Einzeldosis eines Wirkstoffes, und jede dieser Verpackungen weist die Merkmale einer kindergesicherten Verpackung auf, wie vorstehend beschrieben.Furthermore, two or more individual packages can also be connected to one another in a radial symmetrical arrangement, whereby a packaging unit in the form of a donor disk is formed, from which the individual packages can be separated successively. Also in this case, each of the interconnected separable packages contains a single dose of active ingredient, and each of these packages has the characteristics of child-resistant packaging as described above.
Vorzugsweise werden die vorstehend beschriebenen verpackungseinheiten zusammen mit dafür geeigneten Spender-Vorrichtungen verwendet, welche das Abtrennen und die Entnahme der einzelnen Verpackungen ermöglichen oder erleichtern.Preferably, the packaging units described above are combined with suitable dispensing devices used, which allow or facilitate the separation and removal of the individual packages.
Die Erfindung erstreckt sich ferner auf die Verwendung der vorstehend beschriebenen Verpackungen zum Verpacken von pharmazeutischen oder kosmetischen Zubereitungen oder von gesundheitsgefährdenden Gegenständen oder Substanzen, vorzugsweise zum kindersicheren Verpacken der genannten Zubereitungen oder Gegenstände.
