SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is directed to making it possible to obtain a packaging unit suitable for storing and transporting a folded package. Another object of the invention is to provide a method of making a packaging unit suitable for storing and transporting a folded package. A further object of the invention is to provide a transport unit comprising a plurality of packaging units suitable for storing and transporting the folded package. According to a first aspect, the invention relates to a packaging unit comprising: - assembling a package filled with a liquid product, the packages being of a foldable type - and comprising - a bottom wall and two opposite side walls, The package has an upwardly tapered shape when it is placed upright, and is characterized in that the packages are configured such that each package has a side wall facing the bottom of one of the packaging units, the packages being stacked one on another One of the plurality of layers has reticular (four)c packages in each layer, and the packages have such a package in the -first direction and in the direction relative to the first square two - parental orientation and "'individual layers Or - or the second direction has a - orientated orientation, and - the plastic film at least partially surrounds the set of packages to achieve dimensional stability for the packaging unit, the transcript of the 丄胶胶』』』 plastic film The sleeve is made of a sheet of plastic film material which is formed to form the plastic film. The sealing portion has been joined together. = The folding type package indicates, for example, that the package has a wall from the wall to the wall. Engaged along a joint Together. These packages 144145.doc 201026574 can have the following advantages - that is, low weight, allowing for efficient production, in which the corresponding package takes up less space than the corresponding package made of rigid packaging material. . Since the packages are so configured that each package has a side wall facing the bottom of one of the packages, the packages can be placed on a flat surface, for example, in a stable manner. Moreover, the packaging unit can be made from a large base surface which allows the packaging unit to be placed on the -: surface in a stable manner, the side walls of the packages being substantially parallel to the surface. These plural layers are at least two layers 'e.g. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or more layers. These plural layers may be at least two layers and an even number of layers, for example 2, 4 6 8 or more layers. These plurality of layers may be packaged, for example, in such a manner that the packaging unit assumes a shape of a regular parallelepiped. Therefore, a reasonable stacking of the packaging unit is made possible. The plurality of packages in each layer can be, for example, 2, 3, 4, 6, 6, 8, or more packages in each layer. By arranging a plurality of packages in each of the layers, the packaging unit can be formed with a large base surface that allows the packaging unit to be placed in a stable manner in a plane. The plurality of packages in each layer can be two or more packages in each layer. And the packages have a uniform orientation in the first or second direction in the first direction or the second direction in the second direction relative to the second direction relative to the first direction. Configuring the packages to the feet 'The packages can be tightly packed and packaged in a manner that the package unit generally assumes a shape of a parallelepiped can be desired for storage by 144145.doc 201026574 And / or transportation.

These dimensionally stable 1 ... are for example adapted to carry a load, which means for example such a. The components can be stacked. A plurality of packaging units can be stacked, for example, on a pallet, which makes it easy to handle and transport not only a plurality of packages but also a plurality of packaging units. Furthermore, since the plastic sleeve at least partially surrounds the package, and although for example shaking and vibration can occur during transport, the packages will not rub against each other, or will rub against each other much less during transport of the conventional packaging unit. The friction that occurred. Therefore, the risk of damage and leakage of such packages will be reduced. When the indexable type packages are packaged together in a box, such as 'folding can occur in the flexible walls of the packages', the stacking of the stacks is caused by friction during transport. Any damage related to the wear of the wall of the piece. This type of folding problem is minimized by the present invention. Accordingly, the present invention addresses many of the problems associated with the transport of the tamper-evident type of package. The plastic film sleeve is made of a piece of plastic film material along four or less elongated seals, or the longitudinal seals have been joined together to form the plastic film sleeve, which may The plastic film sleeve is reasonably produced. The longitudinal seals have an assembly in the longitudinal direction of the plastic film. The longitudinal and/or transverse seals according to the present invention may be flexible and/or bendable. Such flexible and/or bendable seals may help to reduce the risk of damage to the package and leakage of the package. The packaging unit according to the invention may comprise a handle. When these individual packagings are transported by carrying them in your hands, the handle on the packaging unit can be a great advantage. The packaging unit may, for example, be made up of a plurality of packages f' each package having a "constant capacity" such that the package according to the invention is suitable for transporting, for example, a beverage by the customer holding the packaging unit in a store. A package containing, for example, between 1 and 24 packages (each having a liquid capacity of, for example, between about 1 inch and a spoon) can be carried in this manner. The package can include or be made of the same number of packages in the layers of the packaging unit, such as plastic, paper, laminate or a combination thereof. 2 The package may contain, for example, four, six, eight or ten packages. The sleeve can surround the package in a manner that the individual packages have a fixed position in the unit. In this manner, the plastic film sleeve can be secured at the same time, for example, during the transportation period. The packages such as °H in the package of the group maintain their relative positions. The plastic film sleeve can completely cover the load/assembly of the load. In this way, regardless of the improved size, all sides of the M ▲ armor can be stabilized. The package of the group can be, for example, having six sides, all the faces are covered by the plastic film cover, and the face is sorrowful, the package is the same as the white-year-old, and thus can form, for example, a 1-door heart. An early suitable geometry is fitted with a wm octahedron, which is attached to the packaging unit, thereby occupying a storage and loading space that can be tightly packed from 16 such armoring units. Less than all sides of the set of packages I44145.doc 201026574 can be surrounded by the plastic film sleeve, for example five or four sides. At least four sides of the packaging unit will be surrounded by the plastic film sleeve for root dimensional stability. Catching the packaging unit may have four or fewer transverse seals, seals, for example three or less transverse seals. The transverse seals have a set of ❹ between the longitudinal direction of the plastic film. The unit in which the longitudinal and transverse seals can be used in the packaging unit can have, for example, four or less vertical (four) pieces and Four or fewer transverse seals. The plastic film sleeve can have, for example, a longitudinal direction and two transverse seals. The plastic: film sleeve can be a plastic film which is sealed around the group of packages to effectively apply the plastic film sleeve. The plastic film sleeve can for example have two longitudinal and two transverse seals. Side: According to the invention, the seals can be positioned on the packaging unit. The seals can be placed on the (4) of the packaging unit on the edge of the package 7C or less. The seals can be positioned on the edges of the packaging unit of the packaging unit. The upper and lower dimensions of the invention indicate that the plastic film sleeve will be relatively free of each other with the L-pieces. Hold in a substantially fixed position = ΓΓ. When the packaging unit is subjected to a load, because of: " 胄 film sleeve surrounding, it can also achieve the stability of the ruler 144145.doc 201026574 according to the invention. The film sleeve can completely surround the set of packages without tension. The plastic film can be configured, for example, to loosely surround the set of packages while providing dimensional stability to the package unit. The loosely wrapped plastic The film does not in this case securely hold the individual package in its position, but ensures that the package is slightly movable relative to other packages in the set. However, when the plastic film prevents the individual The package is still dimensionally stable when it is dropped from the package 兀*. When the package unit is subjected to a load, the displacement of the package can occur but the plastic film still prevents the package from falling out. This type of plastic film sleeve provides dimensional stability to the package. The plastic film sleeve can also be wrapped around the package by a tensioning force. Therefore, this type of plastic film sleeve can provide dimensional stability for the package. The plastic film sleeve of the packaging unit can be configured to surround the packages by a tensioning force such that the contents of the packages form a bundle to achieve dimensional stability of the packaging unit. The plastic film sleeve can be, for example, a shrink film. The shrink film can be positioned around the packages in a desired and suitable manner and then allowed to shrink, for example by heating, to even more tightly surround the package. The tamping force can be generated when needed. The film sleeve of the packaging unit can be, for example, film-wrapped.

The longitudinal direction of the plastic film will be further discussed with reference to FIG. In this example, the seals can be of the type described above, or of any other available and suitable type. Portions of the plastic film protruding from the seal can be removed along with the sealing operation, such as by cutting or any other optional removal method. Moreover, the plastic film and the appearance of the seal may be dimensionally stable such that substantially no or only a small amount of plastic film protrudes from the seal. The width of the plastic film can, for example, be selected to be only wider than the distance of the plastic film around the set of packages. Further, the projection of the plastic film according to the present invention can be tightly folded against the package. > It is understood that the four sides of the package are thus surrounded by a plastic film sleeve. If desired and indeed convenient, only the four sides will be surrounded by a plastic film cover, and portions of the plastic film 9 can be easily removed, such that, for example, it does not protrude at all or only slightly exceeds the set of 14 packages that are not surrounded. Side. This means that the plastic film sleeve can be considered to only partially surround the set of packages. Figure 5d shows the set of packages now completely surrounded by a plastic film sleeve, and wherein two transverse seals have been produced, the transverse seal 13b being visible in the drawings, and the transverse seal 13c and the longitudinal seal 13a It is indicated by a dotted line. In this example, the transverse seals are oriented in the manner shown in the figures 'but they (still in the scope of the invention) may have another orientation, for example they may have a range from bottom to top, which orientation is generally The upper 9 degrees is different from the orientation indicated by the edge 144145.doc -17- 201026574. These portions, if any, of the plastic film protruding from the transverse seals can be removed or folded in the manner described above, see the longitudinal seals. Thus, a packaging unit has been produced which includes a set of 14 packages and a plastic film sleeve 5 which completely surrounds the group of packages. The plastic film sleeve can be shrunk by heat treatment, which provides dimensional stability or dimensional stability. The plastic film may have a folded V-shaped-folded shape different from that shown in the scope of the present invention. The plastic film may have, for example, a tube or a tube, and the package is positioned by analogy with a discussion about the plastic film of the sheet (4), so that the plastic film sleeve may have, for example, a longitudinal direction. With two transverse seals. The tube or sheet may be a folded plastic film which may be composed of two sheets of plastic (four) which are joined together along a longitudinal (four) piece. The plastic film sleeve has two transverse and two longitudinal seals. Furthermore, according to the invention, the package of the group can be placed in a plastic bag or in an end-sealed tube so that the plastic bag or the end-sealing tube is sealed in the lateral direction such that the packaging unit comprises one or two , or more than one seal. If the plastic film is stretched to surround the set of 14 packages i (for example by shrinking) such that the (4) film is less than the circumference of the set of packages, the method causes the plastic film cover 5 to be surrounded by a tensioning force. The set of packages. The tension can vary depending on how tightly the film surrounds the set of packages. The shrinkage can also be performed around the set without the tensioning force. The plastic film is applied substantially without a tensioning force. The method: the plastic film sleeve 5 according to the present invention has no _ tension In the case of the package around I44145.doc 201026574. When a film is used for wrapping, this tension can be achieved by wrapping (possibly in combination with shrinkage of the plastic film sleeve). The tensioning tension can provide additional dimensional stability to the packaging unit 4 by more tightly securing the position of the individual packages. Referring to Figures 6a-d' will now discuss a transport unit 7a-d comprising a plurality of packaging units 4 in accordance with the present invention. Each package Cuiyuan 4a-d includes a plurality of packages not shown in Figure 1. The saponins 7a_d are positioned or stacked on the load carriers 8a-d. In the figure, the transport unit 7b is surrounded by a plastic film 9 wrapped around it, which is particularly Providing protection during transportation increases the dimensional stability of the transport unit 7b, the packaging unit 4b and the packages of the invention. In the example illustrated by the drawings, the four sides of the transport unit are to be plastic film 9 surrounds, but even for example five sides or six sides can be surrounded. The transport sheet (10) in Fig. 6d comprises a packaging unit 4, which is stacked in a point layer, which makes the one more stable Stacking. Referring now to Figure 7, a package comprising - a set of 14 packages will now be discussed to form a packaging unit 4 to form a plastic film sleeve at least partially surrounding the packages to provide dimensional stability to the packages. The drawings are brief and are shown in the week of the packages. The first circle of the enclosure is included. In this paper, the coordinate system χ _ yz (shown as the picture is not shown) is introduced and it is considered that a package according to the schema occurs in the χ_ζ plane. When the preparation package only occurs in this plane, The four sides of the total of the six sides of the set of 14 packages 1 will be surrounded by the plastic film sleeve 5. If the package also occurs in the xy plane, five or six sides may be surrounded by the plastic film sleeve. It is convenient to wrap the set several times because the tension generated by the plastic film sleeve U4145.doc -19- 201026574 can be greater than the tension that will be generated using fewer turns, which can be expected, for example, when desired When a pressure-resistant beam is generated in the liquid in the packages, a few turns of the package may provide a more general mechanical protection than wrapping only a single turn. It should be understood that the package may only occur in the x_y plane. Depending on the transport The package planes may be selected during which the packaging unit 4 has a possible orientation and the packaging unit. It should be understood that the plastic film reel 1 突出 protrudes beyond the packaging unit 4, for example, when the tensioning force increases. Part of plastic film Folded back onto the packaging unit 4. The longitudinal direction of the plastic film according to the present invention can be considered to be from the direction of the plastic film of the plastic film reel 1 (the direction is indicated by arrow 15) or the opposite Orientation, and the longitudinal direction can be applied to the plastic film for wrapping and the plastic film to be sealed. According to the invention, the longitudinal direction of the plastic film can be defined as the direction of the longitudinal extension of the plastic film. It may be a shrink film; it may, for example, be selected such that it shrinks when the packaging unit 4 is heated after wrapping, which shrinkage increases the tension. The plastic film sleeve 5 obtained by the wrapping according to the invention may have The transverse and longitudinal seals according to the present invention, for example, may increase the dimensional stability and/or strength of the package G 4 or the packages. Referring to Figures 8a-b, a packaging unit 4 comprising a handle i la_c will now be discussed.
