Abstract
Flow-wrap packaging having a longitudinal sealed seam and two transverse sealed seams, at least the longitudinal sealed seam being spaced apart from the associated longitudinal edge of the packaging, wherein a device for indicating whether the packaging has already been opened (seal guarantee) is arranged at at least one point between the longitudinal sealed seam and the longitudinal edge, that is to say at at least one point on the longitudinal edge strips of the packaging defined by the longitudinal sealed seam and the longitudinal edge.
Description
- This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 11/911,812 filed on Mar. 11, 2008 as the U.S. National Phase under 35 U.S.C. §371 of International Application PCT/EP2005/004118, filed Apr. 18, 2005, which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.
- The invention relates to a film packaging, especially flow-wrap packaging having a longitudinal sealed seam and two transverse sealed seams, at least the longitudinal sealed seam being spaced apart from the associated longitudinal edge of the packaging.
- Packagings of this kind are used for the packaging of usually solid items, but also of soft, possibly flowable, items. They are wrapped in a rectangular or square film blank, there thus being formed a longitudinal edge opposite the wrapping edge and two transverse edges extending between that edge and the wrapping edge. The latter edges and the longitudinal edge are sealed to one another to form a longitudinal and two transverse sealed seams, so that the item is securely packaged and protected from environmental influences. The transverse sealed seams generally extend directly along the transverse edges, that is to say the lateral boundary of the packaging, while the longitudinal sealed seam is spaced apart from the associated longitudinal edge. It is thus possible to open the packaging relatively conveniently from the longitudinal edge side. It is merely necessary to separate the two longitudinal edge strips, which are each defined by the longitudinal sealed seam and the longitudinal edge and which are in direct contact with one another, by means of two thumbs or two fingers and then to hold each of them firmly between thumb and finger. The two longitudinal edge strips can then be pulled apart to open the longitudinal sealed seam. In order to facilitate separation of the two longitudinal edge strips, one of the longitudinal edge strips is very slightly broader than the other longitudinal edge strip, so that the one longitudinal edge strip projects very slightly beyond the other longitudinal edge strip, preferably by about 1 to 2 mm.
- A disadvantage of such known packagings, however, is that the user cannot easily see whether or not the packaging has already been opened either by himself or by a third party. This is the case especially when the packaging is a resealable packaging, more especially a packaging in which at least a portion of the longitudinal sealed seam, especially both the longitudinal sealed seam and the two transverse sealed seams, are formed by cold-seal adhesive strips that are in contact with one another and are capable of being restuck a number of times. Such packagings can easily be opened and resealed without it being evident to a subsequent purchaser.
- The problem underlying the present invention is therefore to produce a packaging that provides reliable evidence of being opened for the first time.
- This problem is solved by the characterising features of claim 1, preferred structural details and embodiments being described in the subsidiary claims.
- A key feature of the invention is therefore that at at least one point between the longitudinal sealed seam and the longitudinal edge there is arranged a device for indicating whether the packaging has already been opened, that is to say a so-called “seal guarantee”. It will be understood that such quality seals can also be provided in the region of the transverse sealed seams, especially when they are also capable of being resealed.
- A particularly simple embodiment of a device for indicating whether a packaging has already been opened, especially one that is also simple from the production technology standpoint, is characterized in that there is arranged on the inner side of one of the two longitudinal edge strips a so-called adhesive tag (circular, oval, rectangular or the like) which is associated with a colour marking on the inner side of the other, or opposite, longitudinal edge strip, wherein, on detachment of the adhesive tag from that colour marking, colorant remains clearly visibly adhering to the adhesive tag. If, therefore, the two longitudinal edge strips are manipulated for the purposes of opening, this will be clearly evident to the purchaser of the packaging. It is necessary merely to check whether or not the adhesive tag has been coloured. Such an adhesive tag is preferably not capable of being restuck.
- The colorant which serves for marking the adhesive tag when the packaging is opened is preferably applied directly to a film forming the film packaging and/or to a suitable film laminate on the adhesive side of the film or the laminate, for example by means of intaglio printing.
- It should be noted in connection with the cold-seal adhesive used herein that it preferably consists of an acrylic-based material and, at least in the region of the longitudinal sealed seam, is capable of being restuck at least three times, especially up to 10 to 15 times, without the closure strength being appreciably affected.
- The cold-seal adhesive has especially been produced on the basis of a water-based styrene-acrylate dispersion and is such that on each closing or re-sticking operation it has a closure strength having at least 50% to 80% of the preceding closure strength.
- According to the invention the initial closure strength of the cold-seal adhesive is in the range of from 3.2 N/15 mm to 2.5 N/15 mm, preferably in the range of from 3.0 N/15 mm to 2.65 N/15 mm and more especially in the range of from 2.75 N/15 mm to 2.85 N/15 mm.
- On the basis of such an initial closure strength, multiple re-sticking by means of which the packaging is securely closed after resealing can advantageously be realised in a simple way.
- According to the invention, the cold-seal adhesive has a solids content in the range of from 40% to 65%, preferably in the range of from 45% to 60% and more especially in the range of from 50% to 53%. The viscosity of the cold-seal adhesive at 25° C. is in the range of from 350 cp to 650 cp, preferably in the range of from 400 cp to 580 cp and more especially in the range of from 480 cp to 520 cp, the viscosity being determined in accordance with Brookfield ASTM D3236.
- Furthermore, the application weight of the cold-seal adhesive is in the range of from 3.8 g/m2 to 5.2 g/m2, preferably in the range of from 4.2 g/m2 to 4.8 g/m2 and more especially in the range of from 4.35 g/m2 to 4.55 g/m2.
- The colorant used for marking the adhesive tag is water-based and has a solids content in the range of from 28% to 42%, preferably in the range of from 32% to 38% and more especially in the range of from 33% to 34.5%, the colorant having a viscosity at 20° C. in the range of from 75″±10″ B6 cup, preferably 75″±5″ B6 cup (corresponds to 805 cp±53.13 cp according to Brookfield ASTM D3236).
- The application dry weight of the colorant is in the range of from 0.25 g/m2 to 2.8 g/m2, preferably in the range of from 0.8 g/m2 to 1.8 g/m2 and especially in the range of from 1.0 g/m2 to 1.5 g/m2.
- When the above-mentioned parameters are observed, a seal guarantee according to the invention by means of an adhesive tag and a colour marking associated therewith can be produced without problems. Such a seal guarantee is accordingly capable of being produced in an extremely simple way, it being possible to use a very wide range of printing technologies and special preference being given to flexographic and/or intaglio printing, because both the above-defined colorant(s) and the above-defined cold-seal adhesive are suitable for flexographic and/or intaglio printing.
- In accordance with a practical embodiment, the colorant used is applied by means of a printer unit directly to the acrylic side of a film, for example a film of an oriented polypropylene, the adhesive strength between the film and the colorant applied thereto being relatively low and tending towards 0 N/15 mm, but still being sufficiently high that the colorant has adequate resistance to abrasion and to breakage and remains securely on the film until the packaging is stuck together, i.e. closed.
- Following the application of the colorant to the film, the film including the colorant is overprinted with a cold-seal adhesive, the adhesive strength between the film and the cold-seal adhesive being greater than the adhesive strength between the colorant layer underneath the cold-seal adhesive and the film.
- The functioning of the seal guarantee, or the adhesive tag, is based on the fact that for sealing the packaging the longitudinal sealed seams of the packaging, which are coated with cold-seal adhesive, are brought together so that two cold-seal adhesive layers or a cold-seal adhesive layer and a film layer come into contact, so that the packaging is closed by all-round adhesion, that is to say from wrapping edge to wrapping edge.
- The resulting layer structure is accordingly as follows: film/cold-seal adhesive=cold-seal adhesive/colorant/film or alternatively film=cold-seal adhesive/colorant/film. Accordingly the “=” reflects the point in the layer structure that provides for sealing the film packaging, that is to say the adhesive bond between the two longitudinal edge strips.
- As a result of the afore-mentioned relatively weak adhesive strength between the colorant layer and the film in comparison with the adhesive strength between the cold-seal adhesive and the film, when that seal is opened the colorant layer remains adhering to the adhesive in the region of the adhesive tag and is at least partly torn or detached from the film therewith, so that after the packaging has been opened the adhesive tag is coloured by the colorant. Accordingly, when the packaging is opened the seal is broken in the region of the adhesive tag not in a reverse procedure with respect to the procedure used for sealing the packaging, wherein two cold-seal adhesive layers or a cold-seal adhesive layer and a film are brought into contact, but is broken at the weakest point of the layer structure formed, or defined, by the bond between the colorant and the film.
- It should be mentioned at this point that the film for the production of the film packaging according to the invention can be in the form of a standard film or in the form of a film laminate. If desired, the laminate is provided with a metal layer and is preferably in the form of an aluminium laminate which has at least one sealing layer and optionally a barrier layer, for example of SiO2, ethyl vinyl alcohol (EVOH) or an oriented polyolefin, especially polypropylene (OPP). Furthermore, the oriented polyolefin is preferably unidirectionally stretched.
- As an alternative to the above-mentioned device for indicating whether a packaging has already been opened, it can be defined by an adhesion or sealing point, the sealing point being bounded by tear-lines at least on one of the two longitudinal edge strips so that when the packaging is opened for the first time a correspondingly bounded edge strip portion is visibly separated together with the sealing point. The longitudinal edge strip in question is then visibly destroyed after the packaging has been opened for the first time. In that respect, the user is provided with a seal guarantee similar to that provided by a quality ring on the screw closure of a bottle of mineral water.
- Preferably, a plurality of devices for indicating whether the packaging has already been opened are located, spaced apart from one another, in the region of the longitudinal edge strips that are in contact with one another, the spacing between the devices being such that if an opening is made between them there is insufficient space to gain access to the contents of the packaging.
- Further embodiments of the invention will be found in the subsidiary claims.
- The invention will be described below with reference to embodiments which are explained in greater detail with reference to the Figures.
-
FIG. 1 shows a rectangular blank for a flow-wrap packaging according to the invention in a plan view onto the side on which cold-seal adhesive strips for forming longitudinal and transverse sealed seams have been applied; -
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a packaging formed from the blank according toFIG. 1 which has been opened at one corner. -
FIG. 3 shows a variant of a rectangular blank according toFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 4 is a diagrammatic view, in section, of the layer structure of film, colorant and cold-seal adhesive in the region of an adhesive tag. -
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a packaging formed from the blank according toFIG. 1 which shows a sealing point that is bonded by tear-lines. - As already mentioned at the beginning, a flow-
wrap packaging 10 is produced from a square or rectangular (as herein according toFIG. 1 andFIG. 3 ) film blank (12). In accordance withFIG. 1 , the film blank 12 is provided on one side with a cold-seal adhesive. The cold-seal adhesive is applied in the form of arectangular frame 11, the first two opposing cold-sealadhesive strips 14 being located directly along the corresponding edges of the packaging film blank 12 and the other two opposing cold-sealadhesive strips 13 being spaced apart, and by different amounts, from theassociated edges edges - The cold-seal
adhesive strips 13 accordingly form also the longitudinal sealed seam of thepackaging 10, while the cold-sealadhesive strips 14 define the two transverse sealed seams. The longitudinal sealedseam 13 is spaced apart from thelongitudinal edges packaging 10, thelongitudinal edge 16 being spaced slightly further away from the longitudinal sealed seam thanlongitudinal edge 15. Thelongitudinal edge 16 therefore projects slightly beyond thelongitudinal edge 15, especially by about from 1.0 to 2.0 mm. The two longitudinal edges and the associated longitudinal edge strips can thus more easily be spread apart for opening thepackaging 10. The longitudinal edge strips associated with thelongitudinal edges reference numerals - At at least one point between the longitudinal sealed
seam 13 and thelongitudinal edge FIG. 1 a device for indicating whether thepackaging 10 has already been opened, there being shown in accordance withFIG. 3 five such devices which are arranged spaced apart from one another along the longitudinal sealed seam which does not allow access to the contents of the packaging without at least one of the seal guarantee devices being damaged. In the embodiment shown, such a device is formed by a non-restickable (cold-seal)adhesive tag 19 on the inner side of one of the two longitudinal edge strips, herelongitudinal edge strip 17, and, associated therewith, a colour marking 20 on the inner side of the other, or opposite,longitudinal edge strip 18, wherein, on detachment of theadhesive tag 19 from the colour marking 20, colorant remains clearly visible adhering to the adhesive tag 19 (indicated inFIG. 2 ). When the two longitudinal edge strips 17, 18 are spread apart, the user can therefore very quickly identify the colorant on theadhesive tag 19 and it will be evident that at least an attempt has already been made to open the packaging. Only when the longitudinal edge strips 17, 18 are still firmly bonded to one another in the region of theadhesion point 19 does the user know that the packaging has not yet been opened. If, however, the longitudinal edge strips 17, 18 can be spread apart without difficulty over their entire length and the user can see a colour marking in the region of theadhesive tag 19, this is an indication that the packaging has already been opened or, at least, an attempt has previously been made to open the packaging. Of course, this feature is useful only when at least a portion of the longitudinal sealedseam 13 is formed by cold-seal adhesive strips that are in contact with one another and are capable of being restuck a number of times, that is to say are capable of multiple resealing. Otherwise, the sealed seam itself is a guarantee of quality. That is to say, packagings having non-resealable sealed seams do not, of course, require a first-opening quality seal. - An arrangement of the layer structure according to the invention is shown in
FIG. 4 , wherein in the region of anadhesive tag 19 there is located, underneath the adhesive tag, a colour marking 20 which has in turn been applied directly to afilm blank 12. Alongside theadhesive tag 19, a cold-seal adhesive strip 13 is arranged directly on the blank 12. It should be pointed out here that when adhesive has been applied to the same height both directly to the blank 12 and to the colour marking 20, there will be a slight increase in height above the colour marking 20 by means of which increased pressure is exerted in the region of the adhesive tag when the packaging is sealed, so that theadhesive tag 19 becomes intimately bonded to the colour marking 20, so that when the packaging is opened the colour marking 20 is guaranteed to adhere to theadhesive tag 19. - Alternatively it is also possible to define the device for indicating whether the packaging has already been opened by means of an adhesion or sealing point, the sealing point being bounded by tear-lines at least on one of the two longitudinal edge strips, so that when the packaging is opened for the first time a correspondingly bounded edge strip portion is visibly separated together with the sealing point. In this embodiment, one of the two longitudinal edge strips 17 or 18 is visibly destroyed after the packaging has been opened.
- In the region between the two longitudinal edge strips 17, 18 there is preferably arranged over the length thereof a plurality of devices for indicating first-opening of the packaging, which devices are arranged spaced apart from one another, the spacing between the devices being such that it is virtually impossible to gain access to the packaging between them. Of course, it is also possible for devices for indicating first-opening of the packaging to be provided in the region of the transverse sealed seams. This ultimately depends upon the specific form of the packaging and the arrangement of the longitudinal and transverse sealed seams.
- All the features disclosed in the application documents are claimed as being important to the invention, where they are novel with respect to the prior art either singly or in combination.
