Description

CON TAI NER
The invention relates to packaging, and in particular to fold-flat containers for items such as bottles.
Packaging containers for items such as bottles are weU known, many of which are typicay of two main different types of construction, both in the form of cyndrical cardboard tubes for containing the bottle, the tube being sealed at each end with end caps. A first type of container is made from a helically-wound cardboard strip, with an overlaid printed paper wrapping. A second type is made from a rectangular pre-printed cardboard blank formed into a tubular shape and glued along the long edges of the blank.
Both types of construction offer the required rigidity and flexibility of packaging design for high value items such as bottles of spirits.
A significant problem with existing packaging solutions of this type, however, is that the packaging occupies a substantial volume once constructed, which increases the costs associated with transportation from where the packaging is made to where the packaging is to be used, for example at a bottling plant.
A further problem is that such constructions are expensive to produce, and may require manual handling, particularly for the second type, which further adds to the cost of production.
Other packaging containers are known, which attempt to address the issue of maintaining rigidity while using a method more amenable to mass production and transportation. EP 1955958, for example, discloses a rectangular section container comprising a self-supporting inner structure within a self-supporting outer structure, the structures being formed from paperboard and in which the inner structure is shaped and dimensioned to create a friction fit with the outer structure. This allows for a rigid container to be made which is more amenable to being transported in flat-pack form.
Such a solution, however, requires two containers to be made, which have to be fitted together after assembly of each container. This is inefficient in terms of the need to effectively have two container blanks processed when making each single container.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to address one or more of the above problems, and to make a container that maintains the rigidity and aesthetic qualities for packaging high value items, while albwing for a more efficient means of production and transportation of the container.
In accordance with a first aspect of the invention there is provided a fold-flat container having a foldable base portion and a walt section extending therefrom, the wall section comprising: first and second outer pane's connected along a first fo'd line, a printable surface of the outer panels forming an external surface of the container; and first and second inner panels connected along a second fold line, a printable surface of the inner panels defining an interior volume of the container, wherein the first outer panel is attached to the second outer panel adjacent a third fold line connecting the second outer pane' to the first inner panel.
The use of outer panels to define an exterior of the container together with inner panels to define the interior allows for a construction of container having an improved rigidity, i.e. resistance to buckling, while retaining the flexibility and efficiency of a fold-flat container.
Having the outer panels connected with each other and folded together to make the wall of the container retains the rigidity of the container while allowing the printable surfaces of the panels to be used for decorating either or both of the inside and outside of the container.
In comparison with existing cardboard constructions where increased rigidity is provided by an increased thickness of card, the present invention offers a so'ution that reduces substantially the volume taken up by the container when transported, while retaining the required strength as well as aesthetic qualities required for packaging high value items.
The second fold line of the fold-flat container preferably comprises a longitudinal slit extending between opposing ends of the first and second inner panels. This longitudinal slit reduces the bending stress on the double-thickness wall of the container once constructed, so as to balance the absence of a fold in the inner wall adjacent to the third fold line. The resulting container has a more uniform cross-sectional shape when constructed. The longitudinal slit may be in the form of a continuous slit along the second fold line, or alternatively in the form of a series of slits or perforations running along the fold line.
The container may comprise a flap connected along a fourth fold line to the first outer pane', a surface of the flap being bonded, e.g. glued, to a portion of the surface of the second outer panel adjacent the third fold line. Bonding the container together with such a flap results in an ease of construction more amenable to mass production, and allows the container to be folded flat after bonding.
The container may comprise a window in the first or second outer panel, an edge of the window being adjacent to, or coincident with, that of a window in the second or first inner pane', respectively. The window in the first or second outer panel is preferably smaller than the window in the second or first inner panel. Such a window allows the contents of the container to be viewed, as well as offering the possibility of the inner panel being provided with a printed design that can also be viewed through the window. The window may comprise a transparent material, such as a PVC or other transparent po'ymeric film, bonded to the relevant inner or outer panel.
The base section of the container may define an elliptical, inc'uding circular, shape of the container wall section. The base section, which can form a part of the container blank, can thereby define the cross-sectional shape of the container. A further end cap may be provided to sea' an end of the container opposing the base portion, which serves also to define the cross-sectional shape at an opposing end of the container.
A printed design may be provided on the printable surfaces of the inner and outer panels.
In particular in conjunction with a window as described above, a printed design can be provided which requires only one printing operation yet is visible on both the inner and outer panels of the container.
In accordance with a second aspect of the invention there is provided a printable blank for a fold-flat container having a foldable base portion and a wall section extending therefrom, the wall section comprising: first and second outer pane's connected along a first fo'd line, a printable surface of the outer panels configured to form an external surface of the container; and first and second inner panels connected along a second fold line, a printable surface of the inner panels configured to define an interior volume of the container, wherein the first outer panel is attachable to the second outer panel adjacent a third fold line connecting the second outer panel to the first inner panel, the printable surfaces of the inner and outer panels being contiguous.
The blank is suitable for being constructed into the container of the first aspect of the invention. As the printable surfaces of the inner and outer panels are contiguous, the blank can be constructed into a container in which a printed design is viewable on both the outside and inside surfaces.
The invention will now be described by way of example, and with reference to the enclosed drawings in which: figure 1 shows a printab'e surface of a foldab'e blank for making a cylindrical fold-flat container; and figure 2 shows a side view of the cylindrical container made from the blank of figure 1.
The foldable blank 100 shown in figure 1 comprises first and second outer panels 110, connected a'ong a first fo'd line 115, and first and second inner panels 130, 140 connected along a second fold line 135. The second outer panel 120 is connected to the first inner panel 130 along a third fold me 150. A flap 160 is connected to the first outer panei 110 along a fourth fold line 170.
A foldab'e base porbon 180 comprises further panels or tabs, together with assodated flaps that, when assembled, form a rigid circular base for the container. Gluing points 190 are provided to bond the circular panel 191 to a corresponding tab 192, and to secure tabs 193a, 193b to corresponding tabs 194a, 194b. Further sections 185a, 185b folds over on to the first and second outer panels, forming a rim around the base portion along a base fold line 186.
A gluing region 165 corresponds with the flap 160 once the first and second inner panels 130, 140 are folded underneath the first and second outer pane's 110, 120 along the third fold line 150, and the outer and inner panels folded along the first and second fold lines 115, 135. The flap 160 then folds around the third fold line 150 to join the second outer pane' 120 to the first outer pane' 110 along the gluing region 165.
When forming the container in fold-flat form from the blank 100 shown in figure 1, the base portion 180 is folded underneath the outer and inner panels, the tabs 193a, 193b, 194a, 194b joined and the circular portion 191 and tab 192 joined such that the base portion 180 can, when required, be simply unfolded to form an internal base of the container and define the cross-sectional shape of the wall formed by the inner and outer panels 130, 140, 110, 120. The open end of the container thereby formed is then defined by the upper edge 105 of the blank 100.
Shown in figure 2 is a container 200 after assembly from the blank 100 of figure 1, the container comprising a base portion 180 and a wall portion 210 formed of the outer and inner panels 110, 120, 130, 140. The upper edge 105 is illustrated to indicate the method of folding the inner and outer panels 130, 140, 110, 120. The outer panels 110, 120 form the visible exterior surface of the container 200, while the inner panels 130, 140 form the visible interior surface of the container 200. The first and second outer panels 110, 120 are connected at opposing edges by the first fold line 115 and the third fold line 170 joining the first outer panel 110 to the flap 160. The shape of the container, in the form of a flattened ellipse, is shown exaggerated to illustrate the position of the fold lines 115, 135, 150, 170.
As can be seen from figure 2, the container 200 comprises a double thickness fold along the first and second fold lines 135, 115, while having only a single fold along the third fold line 170. If the fold line 135 was not weakened in some way, this would cause a distortion of the shape when assembled into the container 200. Consequently, the second fold line is preferably provided with a longitudinal slit 136 (shown in figure 1). This longitudinal slit 136 runs along the majority of the length of the second fold line 135 connecting the first and second inner panels 130, 140, with the result that the fold is substantially weakened. The longitudinal slit 136 preferably has a defined width greater than a thickness of the panels, such that any distortion of the shape of the container 200 is minim ised.
The container 200 may be constructed to have a circular or elliptical cross-section, depending on the shape of the base portion 180. If elliptical, the long axis of the ellipse will typically be orthogonal to the first and second fold lines 115, 135.
A window may be provided in one or more of the outer and inner panels. Preferably, a window provided in the first outer panel 110 will have a matching corresponding window having a similar or greater extent in the second nner panel 140, so that the contents of the container 200, as well as any printed design on the inner panels 130, 140, can be viewed. To protect the contents of the container 200, a transparent material may be provided across the window, preferably glued to the inner surface of the first outer panel 110, i.e. positioned between the second inner panel 140 and the first outer panel 110 in the container 200. The transparent matenal may be a PVC film or other suitable polymeric material.
The container 200 is preferably constructed from cartonboard, with a preferred thickness within the range of 300 to 600 microns, an exemplary thickness being around 450 microns. A typical size of container made according to the invention would have a diameter of around 100 mm and a length of around 270mm, being suitable dimensions for a conventional spirits bottle. Such a size of container could be made from a blank having total overall dimensions of around 375 mm by 620 mm.
Other embodiments are intentionaUy within the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
