The above described manual operations may also be performed by machine.
- the exemplary product package configuration of FIGS. 1-13 is oval shaped. It is contemplated that the present invention is well suited for all package shapes including square, rectangular, circular, sextagonal, octagonal, and variations thereof.
- the product package configuration is merely a design choice in response to the type and number of products contained in the one or more receiving cavities.
- depressions 16a-c, 327a-c are hollow as illustrated, but as one skilled in the art will understand, ribs may be provided within the depression or enclosure to improve the structural integrity or related performance characteristics of the product package 10.
- one or more depressions 16a-c, 327a-c may be formed on the blank 100, 340 rather than the blank 200, 330.
- FIGS. 18-20 A further alternative exemplary embodiment of the invention is best shown in FIGS. 18-20.
- a blank 400 is used to create an asymmetrically shaped sleeve 12.
- the sleeve will be constructed from a thermoformed blank 400, or other flexible or resilient material.
- Blank 400 includes scored lines 401 and first panel 402, second panel 403, and third panel 404.
- Blank 400 will fold along 401 so that first panel 403 and second panel 404 will form the front and back of the sleeve.
- One side 405 joining 403 and 404 will be formed by the scored fold lines 401.
- a second side 406 will be formed by the folds between first panel 403 and adhesive panel 402.
- the sleeve will be fully closed by folding adhesive panel 402 onto the edge of second panel 404.
- a perforation 407 along the length of the blank 400 will allow the consumer access to the product.
- Protruding cavities 408 may be included to allow the consumer to view the product inside.
- Indentions 409 will be cut into blank 400 and will be disposed in sides 405, 406 to engage a locking mechanism.
- a clamshell product container 455 is best shown in FIG. 19.
- the container will be constructed from a thermoformed blank.
- a number of recessed cavities 450 will be disposed along the blank to fully enclose the product being packaged.
- One side 451 would function as the front of the container as another side 452 would function as the rear of the container.
- the container may be hinged 453 along its top edge. When folded along the hinge 453, side one 451 and side two 452 will close with the cavities 450 aligned to fully enclose the product.
- the resulting product container 455 will be narrow at the top hinge 453 but thicker toward the bottom to form a trapezoidal shape.
- Extending from side 451 and side 452 are two protruding tabs 454. When folded along the hinge 453, the protruding tabs 454 along side one and the protruding tabs 454 along side two will align to form the portion of the locking mechanism on the product container.
- the two sides will be closed together by adhesive or other means known by those skilled in the art as indicated in the above embodiments.
- the protruding tabs 454 may be flexible or rigid, however, if the sleeve is rigid, then the protruding tabs 454 of the product container must be a resilient material to be folded inwardly and then released to matingly engage the indentations 409 in the sleeve 12 during the assembly of the final package.
- the sleeve 12 will be shaped so as to slide over the product container 455 to a certain point where it may not progress further due to the thickness at the bottom of the container 455.
- the locking mechanism is engaged if the sleeve is flexible as the sleeve 12 moves over the protruding tabs 454 until they are matingly engaged with the notches 409 cut into the sides 405, 406 of the sleeve 12. At that point, the flexible sleeve is expanded by the increased thickness of the lower part of the product container so that it cannot be flexed to slide the flexible sleeve back over the protruding tabs 454.
- the protruding tabs 454 should be resilient and should be folded inwardly to allow the sleeve to pass over them until they are matingly engaged with the notches 409 cut into the sides 405, 406 of the sleeve 12, and the protruding tabs 454 spring back into a protruding position in the notches 409. Once the notches 409 are matingly engaged with the protruding tabs 454, the only access to the product will be through the perforation 407 along the length of the sleeve 12.
