Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a package of products.
- In the state of the art bundles of containers for liquids are known, such as bottles, cans, vials, cardboard boxes for liquids or other food products that disadvantageously envisage a preponderant use of heat shrinkable or extensible plastic material for wrapping the containers. A non-structural handle is applied to the top of the bundles of plastic material, which has the sole function of facilitating handling and/or manual transport operations.
- Disadvantageously, the plastic materials are obtained through polluting manufacturing processes, the recovery of which causes just as much pollution.
- The object of the present invention consists of providing a package for packaging products that is economically sustainable, more respectful of the environment, strongly reduces the use of plastic materials of the packaging package, strongly reduces the use of glues, is more biodegradable, more manageable and that allows the safe transport of the packaged products.
- According to the invention, such object is achieved with a package of products according to claim 1.
- Other features are comprised in the dependent claims.
- The features and advantages of the present invention will be more apparent from the following description, which is to be understood as exemplifying and not limiting, with reference to the appended schematic drawings, wherein:
-
Figure 1 is an axonometric view of a package according to the present invention for packaging eight products arranged on two rows of four products, in particular eight cans are depicted arranged on two rows, each can containing a liquid food product; -
Figure 2 is an axonometric view of the package of twelve alternative products arranged on three rows of four products or on four rows of three products, in particular twelve paperboard boxes are depicted for food liquids such as wine, fruit juice or milk, arranged on three rows; -
Figure 3 is an axonometric view of the package of six alternative products arranged on two rows of three products, or on three rows of two products, in particular bottles of food liquids arranged on two rows. - With reference to the cited figures a
package 10 ofproducts 100 is shown. - The
package 10 ofproducts 100 comprises a box-like body 20, ahandy strap 30 andproducts 100 arranged on one or more rows. - The
products 100 are for example cans for liquids as shown inFigure 1 , or paperboard boxes for liquids as shown inFigure 2 or bottles as shown inFigure 3 . - Alternatively it is possible to envisage that the
products 100 may be other containers for liquids such as vials, other paperboard boxes for liquids or for other food products or even of another nature. - As shown in
Figures 1-3 thepackage 10 is advantageously free of packaging film made of plastic material that envelops one or more rows ofproducts 100 or that envelops thewhole package 10. - Each of the
products 100 comprises at least onevertical surface 101 and a base surface adapted to be laid on a horizontal geometric plane. - As shown by way of non-limiting example in
Figure 1 , thevertical surface 101 of the can is the outer surface, inFigure 2 thevertical surface 101 of the paperboard box is the outer surface, inFigure 3 thevertical surface 101 of the bottle is the outer surface portion of the bottle with vertical walls on which the labelling of the bottle is envisaged. - According to other examples not shown, the products could be square shaped or have another geometric shape.
- The box-
like body 20 comprises asupport base wall 21, which lies on the horizontal geometric plane and fourside walls 22 which rise upwards starting from the sides of thesupport base wall 21. Infigures 1-3 theside walls 22 of the box-like body 20 are vertical, but it may be envisaged that at least oneside wall side wall product 100 of thepackage 10. - The box-
like body 20 is made of paperboard obtained from a blank of a cardboard box so as to limit the use of plastic. - Alternatively the box-
like body 20 may be comprised in a list comprising a rigid plastic material, a rigid laminate or equivalent rigid materials to those included in this list. - The
support base wall 21 lies on the horizontal geometric plane and allows a support of the base surface of each of theproducts 100. - The
side walls products 100 to be kept in position keeping them packed against one another without using adhesives between an inner surface of thewalls products 100. - The box-
like body 20 is free of adhesion portions and is free of gluing points between the inner surfaces of thewalls products 100. - Advantageously, the
products 100 are not glued with the inner surfaces of theside walls support base wall 21 of the box-like body 20 in order to further reduce the waste of plastic material and glue and to simplify the production process. - Preferably, the dimensions of the
support base wall 21 follow the dimensions of the arrangement on one or more rows ofproducts 100 of thepackage 10 and the angle with respect to the vertical of theside walls product 100, so that the box-like body 20 keeps theproducts 100 arranged on one or more rows still and rigidly in position without the use of plastic packaging film. - Even more preferably, the
side walls product 100 of thepackage 10. The vertical dimensions are measured starting from thesupport base wall 21 upwards and, when theside wall side wall - As shown in
Figures 1-3 theside walls said walls 22 and a second pair ofside walls 23. - When the
support base wall 21 is a rectangle, as shown inFigures 1-3 or a square, then the respective pairs ofside walls support base wall 21. - As shown in
Figures 1-3 thesupport base wall 21 is shaped like a rectangle to contain theproducts 100, but it may alternatively have a quadrangular shape if it needs to contain four products arranged on two rows. - Alternatively, it may be envisaged that the
support base wall 21 has a shaped outline (not shown in the figures), where "shaped outline" means an outline that follows a perimeter of the base surfaces of theproduct 100 once arranged on one or more rows to be packaged, or "shaped outline" means for example an outline comprising a multiplicity of broken lines or curves that defines a perimeter with a geometric shape or a different aesthetic shape. - As shown in
Figures 1-3 eachside wall vertical surface 101 of each of theproducts 100 turned outwards. - When there are three rows of
products 100, as shown inFigure 2 , where two outer rows and a central row of products can be seen, then it will be noted that only theextreme products 100 of the central row comprise at least one vertical surface that rests against therespective side wall - As shown in
Figures 1-3 thehandy strap 30 is a ribbon made of a material comprised in a list comprising a plastic material, a paperboard, a laminate or flexible materials equivalent to those included in this list. - The
handy strap 30 comprises anarched portion 31 adapted to be handled by a person for picking up thepackage 10 and transporting it safely. - The
arched portion 31 of thehandy strap 30 is designed to be arranged on thepackage 10 so as to be easily picked up by the person for transporting thepackage 10. - The
handy strap 30 comprises twoside straps 32 each of which is respectively glued with one of the two pairs ofside walls like body 20.Figures 1-3 show that the twoside straps 32 are glued with the second pair ofside walls 23. However, it is possible that the twoside straps 32 can also be glued with the first pair ofside walls 22, as there are no structural differences between the two pairs ofside walls - The
handy strap 30 acts synergistically with the box-like body 20 to keep theproducts 100 contained firmly in rows packed inside thepackage 10 reinforcing the structure and guaranteeing the compactness also in transport conditions of thepackage 10 by the person. - The
handy strap 30 is glued directly to the box-like body 20 by gluing or using adhesives or using double-sided tape or using other fixing means. - The two
side straps 32 of thehandy strap 30 are glued with the respective pair ofside walls Figures 1-3 , that theside straps 32 continue below the box-like body 20 hence also gluing the lower surface of thesupport base wall 21 of the box-like body 20. - Alternatively, it is envisaged that two
side straps 32 of thehandy strap 30 are only glued to the lower surface of thesupport base wall 21 of the box-like body 20. - Alternatively, it is envisaged that the two
side straps 32 of thehandy strap 30 are only glued to the outer surface of the respective pair ofside walls - At least each of the two
side straps 32 of thehandy strap 30 comprises anadhesive portion 34 for gluing thehandy strap 30 to the box-like body 20. - It is possible to envisage that the
handy strap 30 is arranged with theadhesive portion 34 both along at least one length portion of therespective side strap 32 of thehandy strap 30 until being arranged with theadhesive portion 34 both along the entire length of thehandy strap 30, excluding thearched portion 31 where it is handled by the person's hand. - Advantageously, only the
handy strap 30 comprisesadhesive portions 34 for gluing theproducts 100 and the box-like body 20, so as to further reduce the consumption of material and obtain apackage 10 that is even more eco-sustainable. - Preferably, the
side walls product 100 of thepackage 10 so as to keep the rows ofproducts 100 of thepackage 10 still. - Alternatively, it may be envisaged that the vertical dimensions of the
side walls product 100. - Alternatively, it may be envisaged that at least one

Figures 1-3 , the twoside straps 32 of thehandy strap 30 adhere by gluing to portions of the outer surface of theproduct 100 making thepackage 10 more resistant. - As shown in
Figures 1 and 2 , when a row comprises an even number ofproducts 100, then the twoside straps 32 of thehandy strap 30 are glued onto portions of the surface of twoproducts 100, so that thehandy strap 30 is positioned in the centre of the pair ofside walls - As shown in
Figure 3 , when a row comprises an odd number ofproducts 100, then the twoside straps 32 of thehandy strap 30 are glued onto a portion of the surface of thecentral product 100 of the row, so that thehandy strap 30 is positioned in the centre of the pair ofside walls - As shown in
Figures 1-3 , theproducts 100 are preferably positioned on one or more rows so as to obtain apackage 10 ofproducts 100 that is more solid and safe to transport. - It is not excluded, according to the invention, that there may be one or more intermediate rows of
products 100 such as for example the central row shown inFigure 2 and that it is arranged between the two outer rows ofproducts 100. - For example, the
package 10 may be composed using two rows of one product 2x1, two rows of two products 2x2, three rows of one product 3x1, three rows of two products 3x2 or two rows of three products 2x3 as shown inFigure 3 , four rows of two products 4x2 or two rows of four products 2x4 as shown inFigure 1 or three rows of four products 3x4 as shown inFigure 2 , five rows of three products 5x3, six rows of three products 6x3, six rows of four products 6x4. - The
products 100 of thepackage 10 can have a casual orientation within the final package or they may be oriented according to special requirements. - It is possible to apply to the upper side of the
package 10 and/or to one or more side flanks of thepackage 10 at least one label for the purpose of protecting theproducts 100 and/or increasing the surface area on which to print information. - Alternatively it is possible to envisage that the
packages 10 comprise adhesion elements, e.g. double-sided tapes, adapted to prevent a consumer from being able to take asingle product 100 from thepackage 10 leaving anincomplete package 10 on a shelf in the shop. - Also alternatively, in addition to the handy strap, 30 it is possible to envisage, as shown in
Figure 2 that thepackage 10 comprisesribbons 33 comprising at least oneadhesive portion 35. Theribbons 33 are applied on top of an outer surface of thewalls like body 20 and on top of an outer surface of theproduct 100 for gluing the outer surface of theside wall 22 to the outer surface of theproduct 100 advantageously making thepackage 10 more rigid and solid. - Advantageously, the
ribbons 33 are applied to the first pair ofside walls 22 to obtain a morerigid package 10, considering that thehandy strap 30 comprising side straps 32 comprisingadhesive portions 34 glue the outer surface of the second pair ofside walls 23 and preferably also the outer wall of theproducts 100 as explained above. - Advantageously, the
package 10 forpackaging products 100 is ecologically sustainable, more respectful of the environment, strongly reduces the use of plastic materials of the package, is more biodegradable, manageable and allows the safe transport of the packaged products. - The invention thus conceived is susceptible to many modifications and variants, all falling within the same inventive concept; furthermore, all details can be replaced by equivalent technical elements. In practice, the materials used, as well as the dimensions thereof, can be of any type according to the technical requirements.
