Definitions

  • Present invention relates to a packaging box for fruit, berries and vegetables, and a method for packing fruit, berries and vegetables, where the packaging box may be made of environmental friendly materials, such as cardboard.
  • Plastic packaging has proven to be cheap and easy to produce, easy to make robust enough to stack, and security for the products may be handled at an acceptable level.
  • the flexibility of plastic and the ability to produce almost any form using production techniques such as machines that can heat the plastic material (PVC, PP, PE, POF, PPT, PTGF, APET, ABS, OPP, PS, PET, etc) and make them soft, then vacuum suction and transform sheet material into various plastic blisters, or extruding techniques is considered a great advantage.
  • a problem for packaging using non-softening or non-extrudable materials is how to make a packaging providing good storage, visibility of product, strength and low enough production price level.
  • a further problem with boxes fruit, berries or vegetables is that when packed in open boxes, as often is the case, shoppers may touch and harm the fruit, berries or vegetables or vulnerable portions of these.
  • One example is the stem of the avocado, which frequently is pulled free from the avocado itself, and thus disable any future purchaser to check the ripeness when the avocado is purchased and brought home.
  • a further problem with boxes of any kind for containing fruit, berries or vegetables is that the box may not be filled to its maximum, and when a prefabricated lid is placed on top, there is too much room inside the box such that the fruit, berries or vegetables is able to be thrown around inside the box with the risk of damage and pressure marks. This lower the quality of the goods considerable, and the customer is unlikely to be satisfied with the product.
  • packaging units that provides headspace inside the packaging unit limits the handling of the packaging unit under transport. It may be very harmful to the content if the packaging boxes were to be placed on its side, even if this would have made sense for a transport optimization purpose. It is a challenge to find an optimal logistics solution when transporting fruits, berries and vegetables, due to their vulnerability if being roughly handled. It is also a challenge to find package casings being able to be stacked on top of each other, and the packaging crates must often individually be of much higher strength, hence higher cost, more material and more complex packaging routines has to be implemented.
  • a further problem is that the consumer may want to get access to some of the products for consuming, but will still be able to contain the fruit, berries or vegetables in a firm manner inside the box for later consumption. This is often not possible once the wrapping of the goods is broken.
  • a packaging box for fruit, berries and vegetables is provided made of cardboard material having a design providing features for easy filling and tightening of a lock for keeping the goods safely and firmly inside the packaging box.
  • the packaging box for fruit, berries and vegetables it is provided a packaging box for easy transport stackability, lower material use, optimized use of space under transport, visibility of the packaged goods, safety for content not being tampered before purchase is completed, and easy access to the content of the packaging box for extracting portions of the content.

  • the front wall 3 being the receiving wall, ensures that no portion of the content of the packaging box will be in contact with the glue or fastening means used for fastening the lid 4 in a closed position.
  • the invention also encompass solutions wherein the same inventive concept is used, for example if the lid 4 was initially connected to the upper portion of the front wall 3, and fastened on the outside of the back wall 2, the back wall 2 being the receiving wall, in a closing operation, then with the fastening means such as glue 31 arranged on a portion of the outside of the back wall 2.
  • the fastening means 31, such as a strip of glue or tape, may be pre-arranged on the receiving wall, or may be applied in the filling process. Applying glue to the outside of the packaging box 1 ensures that no chemicals are spilled onto the content 40, 50, 60 of the packaging box upon filling and locking.
  • double sided tape may be arranged both on a portion of inside of the second side 7 of the lid 4, or the outside of the receiving side of the packaging box 3, for example the front side 3 or the back side 2.
  • the double sided tape may be pre-arranged on the packaging box 1 and the protective layer on the tape may be removed in the packaging operation after content 40, 50, 60 has been filled into the packaging box 1, and before the lid is fastened over the content 40, 50, 60.
  • the fastening means 31' may optionally be pre-arranged on the inside (dotted lines) of the peripheral lid portion 7 being arranged over and onto the outside of the receiving wall when content is filed and lid is closed over the content.
  • the prearranged glue have less chance of being exposed, not covered by the lid, when lid is arranged individually.
  • hi is chosen to be substantially equal to, equal to or larger than the average height of the products 40, 50, 60 to be packed in the packaging box 1, and when h2 is chosen to be considerably less than the average height of the products 40, 50, 60 to be packed.
  • hi is between 90% and 125% of average height of the products 40, 50, 60 and h2 is between 90% and 50% of average height of the products 40, 50, 60.
  • the difference in height of the lid from the first side to the second side will optimize the space available inside the box for the products packaged.
  • the stacking of products in transport is that when stacking the packaging boxes in side position and placed lid to lid, two and two packaging boxes occupy a close to perfect rectangle area, and being the same height when standing on the side, several layers of these can be stabled upon each other. This will be a great space saving feature and save a lot of transportation. Hence also save the nature from unnecessary pollution related to transport.
  • the difference in height of the back side 2 and the front side 3 further increase the stability of the packaging box when arrange sideways on a display shelf/table. This way the goods can be better displayed without the risk of falling over.
  • Ventilation ducts/openings 10 may be provided to increase air circulation inside the packaging box.
  • the lid itself contains sufficient openings for ventilation, but in the event a fairly tight lid is used it may be necessary to provide further ventilation holes

  • All tear lines 14, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 may be partially perforated lines cut through or almost cut through the side or edge of the side/top wall it is arranged. The purpose is to provide a defined tearing line/edge when a tearing force is applied.
  • the lid may be provided with openings 8 and recesses 9 for providing easy inspection of, but prevention of accessibility to vulnerable portions of the contained fruit, berries or vegetables 30, 40, 50.
  • One typically very vulnerable portion is the stem of the avocado.
  • a trick to find out if the avocado is ripe for consumption is to pull the stem off and inspect the area under the stem together with the force necessary to pull the stem of. This is however a test that only should be performed by the consumer when the avocado has been purchased.
  • the stem-test can thereby not be used later by the next customer actually buying the avocado.
  • Present invention thus provide a way to safely package and display the product but also holds the product firmly inside the package box 1 such that no one can access the vulnerable portions, for example the stem of the avocado.
  • the present invention thus provides a packaging box 1 for use in a method wherein one or more fruit, berries or vegetables are arranged in a packaging box according to the above description and figures, the method comprise of the following steps: filling the packaging box with content, tightening the lid over the content, fastening the lid over and onto the outside of the second of the at least four walls, and wherein the tightening of the lid over the content, may comprise to tighten the lid with a predefined pulling force.
