Abstract

Stacks of folded paper tissues are usually enwrapped with a thin foil, thus forming a soft pack. Lately these packs are provided with a reclosable opening aid. This opening aid can be arranged in the region of a narrow longitudinal face of the pack, with an outer folding flap (18) at the same time serving as closing flap (23). In order to facilitate handling and to ensure a higher stability of the pack, the opening aid is designed such that only a portion of the outer folding flap (18) is formed as a closing flap (23), while the inner continuous folding flap (17) remains in the original pack position even when the pack is opened. The ends of the folding flap (17) are anchored to marginal side cross-strips (28, 29) of the outer folding flap (18). A recess (29) arranged preferably central in the region of the inner folding flap (17) and being open towards the free edge expediently enlarges the extraction opening (30) for the paper tissues.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Weichpackung, insbesondere Papiertaschentuch-Verpackung, aus einer den Packungsinhalt umgebenden Umhüllung, aus einer Kunststoffolie oder der­gleichen, durch die Vorderwand, Rückwand, Seitenwände, Stirnwand und Bodenwand gebildet werden, wobei im Bereich einer schmalen Packungsfläche, vorzugsweise im Bereich einer langgestreckten Seitenwand, eine wiederverschließbare Öffnungshilfe gebildet ist, die aus zwei einander in Schließstellung (teilweise) überdeckenden Faltlappen be­steht, von denen der außenliegende Faltlappen eine Ver­schlußlasche für eine Entnahmeöffnung bildet und einen Kle­bestreifen bzw. ein Klebeetikett aufweist, welches mit einem Teilbereich lösbar an einer angrenzenden Packungs­fläche (Vorderwand) befestigt ist.The invention relates to a soft pack, in particular paper tissue packaging, from an envelope surrounding the pack contents, from a plastic film or the like, through which the front wall, rear wall, side walls, end wall and bottom wall are formed, with in the region of a narrow packaging surface, preferably in the region of an elongated one Sidewall, a reclosable opening aid is formed, which consists of two folding tabs (partially) overlapping one another in the closed position, of which the outside folding tab forms a closure flap for a removal opening and has an adhesive strip or an adhesive label, which with a partial area is releasably attached to an adjacent packing surface (front wall).

Stapel aus gefalteten Papiertaschentüchern werden üblicher­weise in dünne Kunststoffolien eingehüllt. Neuerdings sind derartige Papiertaschentuch-Verpackungen mit einer wieder­verschließbaren Öffnungshilfe versehen.Piles of folded paper handkerchiefs are usually wrapped in thin plastic films. Recently, tissue paper packaging of this type has been provided with a reclosable opening aid.

Die FR-A 2 334 584 zeigt und beschreibt verschiedene Aus­führungsformen derartiger Papiertaschentuch-Verpackungen. Eine dieser bekannten Packungen ist so ausgebildet, daß die Öffnungshilfe im Bereich einer der beiden langgestreckten, schmalen Seitenwände vorgesehen ist. Aufgrund einer Schlauchfaltung der die Taschentücher umgebenden Umhüllung besteht diese Seitenwand aus zwei einander überdeckenden Faltlappen. Beide sind an ihren Enden - benachbart zur Stirnwand und Bodenwand mit einem quergerichteten Trenn­schnitt versehen, der sich über die volle Breite der Seiten­wand erstreckt. Beide Faltlappen dienen so als Verschluß­laschen.FR-A 2 334 584 shows and describes various embodiments of such paper tissue packaging. One of these known packs is designed so that the opening aid is provided in the area of one of the two elongated, narrow side walls. Due to a hose folding of the wrapping surrounding the handkerchiefs, this side wall consists of two overlapping folding tabs. Both are provided at their ends - adjacent to the front wall and bottom wall with a transverse cut that extends across the full width of the side wall. Both folding flaps thus serve as closing flaps.

Im Bereich der durch die beiden Faltlappen gebildeten Ver­schlußlaschen sind diese durch eine leicht lösbare Siege­lung miteinander verbunden. Wenigstens eine Seite der mit­einander zu verbindenden Faltlappen ist zu diesem Zweck mit einer Beschichtung versehen, die eine leicht zu öffnende Siegelung bzw. Verschweißung der beiden Verschlußlaschen gewährleistet.In the area of the closure flaps formed by the two folding tabs, these are connected to one another by an easily releasable seal. For this purpose, at least one side of the folding tabs to be connected to one another is provided with a coating which ensures an easy-to-open sealing or welding of the two closure tabs.

Zum Öffnen und Wiederverschließen dient ein Klebestreifen (Tape), der mit einem Teilbereich an der äußeren Verschluß­lasche und mit einem anderen Teilbereich an der angrenzen­den Vorderwand der Verpackung lösbar befestigt ist. Dieses Ende des Klebestreifens ist mit einer klebstofffreien Griff­lasche versehen.A tape is used for opening and reclosing, which is releasably attached to one part of the outer closure flap and another to the adjacent front wall of the packaging. This end of the adhesive strip is provided with an adhesive-free grip tab.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, Verpackungen der eingangs genannten Art zu verbessern, insbesondere in Bezug auf die Handhabung im Sinne einer erleichterten Entnahme der Taschentücher bei Erhaltung bzw. Verbesserung der Form­stabilität der Verpackung.The invention has for its object to improve packaging of the type mentioned, especially in relation to handling in terms of easier removal of the tissues while maintaining or improving the dimensional stability of the packaging.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist die erfindungsgemäße Weich­packung dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß lediglich der äußere Faltlappen als Verschlußlasche dient, die sich über einen (mittleren) Teilbereich des (äußeren) Faltlappens erstreckt und von seitlichen Bereichen (Seitenstege) desselben durch Trennschnitte abgeteilt ist, die als Perforationslinien im Bereich der mit dem äußeren Faltlappen verbundenen Packungs­wandung (Rückwand) fortgesetzt sind.To achieve this object, the soft pack according to the invention is characterized in that only the outer folding flap serves as a closure flap, which extends over a (central) partial area of the (outer) folding flap and is divided from the lateral areas (side webs) thereof by separating cuts, which serve as perforation lines continue in the area of the packing wall (rear wall) connected to the outer folding tab.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung der wiederverschließ­baren Öffnungshilfe ist eine erleichterte Handhabung der Verpackung gegeben, weil lediglich eine Verschlußlasche be­tätigt werden muß, um Zugang zum Packungsinhalt zu erhal­ten. Durch die Verlängerung bzw. Fortsetzung der Verschluß­lasche in den Bereich einer angrenzenden Packungswand (Rück­wand) liegt bei geöffneter Packung auch ein Teilbereich der Seitenflächen des Taschentuch-Pakets frei, so daß das je­weils randseitige Taschentuch bequem mit zwei Fingern er­faßt werden kann. Auch der Vorgang des Öffnens und Wieder­verschließens ist erleichtert, da jeweils nur eine Ver­schlußlasche betätigt werden muß - mit Hilfe des an der Ver­schlußlasche angebrachten Klebestreifens.The design of the reclosable opening aid according to the invention facilitates handling of the packaging, because only a closure flap has to be actuated in order to gain access to the contents of the package. By extending or continuing the closure flap in the area of an adjacent packing wall (rear wall), a portion of the side surfaces of the handkerchief packet is also exposed when the pack is open, so that the respective handkerchief on the edge can be gripped easily with two fingers. The process of opening and reclosing is also facilitated, since only one locking tab has to be actuated at a time - with the aid of the adhesive strip attached to the locking tab.

Die Öffnungshilfe ist vorzugsweise im Bereich einer langge­streckten Seitenwand der Packung angeordnet. Erfindungsge­mäß hat die Verschlußlasche eine geringere Länge als der außenliegende Faltlappen, aus dem die Verschlußlasche durch zwei im Abstand voneinander angeordnete Trennschnitte oder Perforationslinien gebildet ist. Die an den Enden des äußeren Faltlappens verbleibenden Reststege bzw. Seiten­stege - benachbart zur Stirnwand bzw. zur Bodenwand - sind fest mit Endbereichen des inneren Faltlappens verbunden, insbesondere durch Siegeln der Folie. Dadurch ist im stirn- und bodenseitigen Bereich neben der Entnahmeöffnung eine kastenförmige und daher sehr formbeständige Gestaltung ge­geben.The opening aid is preferably arranged in the region of an elongated side wall of the pack. According to the invention, the closure flap has a shorter length than the outer folding flap from which the closure flap is formed by two separating cuts or perforation lines arranged at a distance from one another. The remaining webs or side webs remaining at the ends of the outer folding tab - adjacent to the end wall or to the bottom wall - are firmly connected to end areas of the inner folding tab, in particular by sealing the film. As a result, a box-shaped and therefore very dimensionally stable design is provided in the front and bottom area in addition to the removal opening.

Ein weiteres, eigenständiges Merkmal der Erfindung besteht darin, daß zur Vergrößerung der Entnahmeöffnung der innere Faltlappen eine zum freien Rand und damit zur Entnahme­öffnung hin offene Ausnehmung aufweist, insbesondere mit bogenförmiger Begrenzung. Dadurch wird beim Öffnen der Ver­schlußlasche eine größere Entnahmeöffnung freigelegt.A further, independent feature of the invention consists in that, in order to enlarge the removal opening, the inner folding tab has a recess which is open towards the free edge and thus towards the removal opening, in particular with an arcuate boundary. As a result, a larger removal opening is exposed when the closure flap is opened.

Die Ausnehmung wird durch Entfernen, nämlich Abreißen eines Folienstücks gebildet, welches mit der Innenseite der Ver­schlußlasche verbunden ist und beim erstmaligen Öffnen der­selben aus der Ausnehmung herausgerissen wird.The recess is formed by removing, namely tearing off a piece of film which is connected to the inside of the closure flap and is torn out of the recess when it is opened for the first time.

Die erfindungsgemäße Weichpackung ist mit herkömmlichen Ma­schinen in Großserien herstellbar. Durch die besondere Ge­staltung ist eine erhöhte Stabilität gegeben, so daß auch sehr dünne Folien eingesetzt werden können. Die Öffnungs­hilfe ist für eine leichte, problemlose Handhabung ange­legt.The soft pack according to the invention can be produced in large series using conventional machines. The special design provides increased stability so that even very thin foils can be used. The opening aid is designed for easy, problem-free handling.

Einzelheiten eines Ausführungsbeispiels der Erfindung werden nachfolgend anhand der Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Es zeigt:

  • Fig. 1 eine Verpackung zur Aufnahme eines Stapels gefalteter Papiertaschentücher in Schließstellung bei perspektivischer Darstellung,
  • Fig. 2 einen Ausschnitt einer Materialbahn zur Bildung Zuschnitten für Verpackungen gemäß Fig. 1.
  • Fig. 3 eine Verpackung ähnlich Fig. 1 in Öffnungs­stellung, in perspektivischer Darstellung.
Details of an embodiment of the invention are explained below with reference to the drawings. It shows:
  • 1 is a package for receiving a stack of folded paper tissues in the closed position in a perspective view,
  • FIG. 2 shows a section of a material web for forming blanks for packaging according to FIG. 1.
  • Fig. 3 shows a package similar to Fig. 1 in the open position, in a perspective view.

Die in Fig. 1 und Fig. 3 gezeigte Verpackung dient zur Auf­nahme eines Stapels gefalteter Papier-Taschentücher 43. Der Packungsinhalt ist durch einen rechteckigen Zuschnitt 10 (Fig. 2) aus dünner Kunststoffolie umgeben. Die Umhüllung ist allseits geschlossen und bildet eine Vorderwand 11, eine gegenüberliegende Rückwand 12, langgestreckte, schmale Seitenwände 13 und 14 sowie eine kleinere Stirnwand 15 und gegenüberliegend eine Bodenwand 16.The packaging shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 serves to hold a stack of folded paper handkerchiefs 43. The contents of the package are surrounded by a rectangular blank 10 (FIG. 2) made of thin plastic film. The envelope is closed on all sides and forms a front wall 11, an opposite rear wall 12, elongated, narrow side walls 13 and 14 and a smaller end wall 15 and a bottom wall 16 opposite.

Die Verpackung wird dadurch gebildet, daß in bekannter Weise der Zuschnitt im Bereich der Seitenwand 13 U-förmig um den quaderförmigen Packungsinhalt herumgelegt wird, derart, daß Faltlappen 17, 18 zur Bildung der in Fig. 1 nach oben weisenden Seitenwand einander nahezu vollständig überdecken (sogenannte Schlauchfaltung). Die Faltlappen 17, 18 sind in geeigneter Weise miteinander verbunden.The packaging is formed in that the blank is placed in a U-shaped manner in the region of the side wall 13 around the cuboid-shaped package content, in such a way that folding tabs 17, 18 overlap each other almost completely to form the side wall pointing upwards in FIG. 1 ( so-called hose folding). The folding tabs 17, 18 are connected to one another in a suitable manner.

Stirnwand 15 und Bodenwand 16 werden durch über den Packungsinhalt hinwegragende Faltlappen gebildet, nämlich durch Stirnlappen 19 und Seitenstirnlappen 20 bzw. Boden­lappen 21 und Seitenbodenlappen 22. Die vorgenannten Falt­lappen werden couvertartig gegen den Packungsinhalt gefal­tet, derart, daß die Stirnlappen 19 sowie die Bodenlappen 21 eine trapezförmige Gestalt erhalten (Fig. 1 und 3).The end wall 15 and bottom wall 16 are formed by folding tabs projecting beyond the contents of the pack, namely by end tabs 19 and side end tabs 20 or bottom tabs 21 and side bottom tabs 22 Get trapezoidal shape (Fig. 1 and 3).

Die Verpackung ist mit einer wiederverschließbaren Öffnungs­hilfe versehen. Diese befindet sich im vorliegenden Fall im Bereich der schmalen, langgestreckten Seitenwand 14. Die Faltlappen 17 und 18 derselben wirken bei der Bildung der Öffnungshilfe mit.The packaging is provided with a reclosable opening aid. In the present case, this is located in the region of the narrow, elongated side wall 14. The folding tabs 17 and 18 of the same contribute to the formation of the opening aid.

Der äußere Faltlappen 18 - der mit Überlappung auf dem inneren Faltlappen 17 aufliegende - bildet eine Verschluß­lasche 23. Zu diesem Zweck ist der sich nahezu über die volle Breite der Seitenwand 14 erstreckende Faltlappen 18 in der Nähe der Enden, also benachbart zur Stirnwand 15 und Bodenwand 16, mit quergerichteten Trennschnitten 24, 25 ver­sehen. Diese liegen mit Abstand von Querkanten 26, 27 zwischen der Seitenwand 14 einerseits und Stirnwand 15 so­wie Bodenwand 16 andererseits. Es bleiben dadurch benach­bart zu diesen Seitenstege 28, 29 als Teil des Faltlappens 18.The outer folding flap 18 - which lies with an overlap on the inner folding flap 17 - forms a closing flap 23. For this purpose, it is almost over the Folding flaps 18 which extend the full width of the side wall 14 in the vicinity of the ends, that is to say adjacent to the end wall 15 and bottom wall 16, are provided with transverse separating cuts 24, 25. These lie at a distance from transverse edges 26, 27 between the side wall 14 on the one hand and the end wall 15 and the bottom wall 16 on the other. As a result, they remain adjacent to these side webs 28, 29 as part of the folding tab 18.

Zum Öffnen der Verpackung kann die Verschlußlasche 23 als Teil des Faltlappens 18 angehoben werden in eine aufrechte (Fig. 3) bzw. in eine gegen die Rückwand 12 umgefaltete Position. Dadurch wird eine Entnahmeöffnung 30 frei, die sich im wesentlichen neben einem freien Rand des inneren Faltlappens 17 erstreckt. Über diese Entnahmeöffnung kann jeweils ein randseitiges bzw. oberes Taschentuch 43 ent­nommen werden.To open the packaging, the closure flap 23 can be raised as part of the folding tab 18 into an upright position (FIG. 3) or into a position folded against the rear wall 12. This frees a removal opening 30 which extends essentially next to a free edge of the inner folding tab 17. An edge-side or top handkerchief 43 can be removed via this removal opening.

Wie aus Fig. 2 ersichtlich sind Maßnahmen zur Vergrößerung der Entnahmeöffnung 30 vorgesehen. Zu diesem Zweck ist die durch den Faltlappen 18 gebildete Verschlußlasche 23 in den Bereich der Rückwand 12 fortgesetzt, also mit einer Laschen­ergänzung 31 versehen. Diese ist durch seitliche Stanz­linien bzw. Perforationslinien 32, 33 in der Rückwand 12 begrenzt. Diese Perforationslinien 32, 33 sind in Ver­längerung der Trennschnitte 24, 25 über eine Längskante 34 hinaus vorgesehen.As can be seen from FIG. 2, measures for enlarging the removal opening 30 are provided. For this purpose, the closure flap 23 formed by the folding flap 18 is continued in the region of the rear wall 12, that is to say provided with a flap extension 31. This is delimited by lateral punch lines or perforation lines 32, 33 in the rear wall 12. These perforation lines 32, 33 are provided as an extension of the separating cuts 24, 25 beyond a longitudinal edge 34.

Beim Öffnen der Packung durch Anheben der Verschlußlasche 18 und durch Trennen der Perforationslinien 32, 33 ergibt sich eine bis in einen Teilbereich der Rückwand 12 ver­laufende Entnahmeöffnung 30, die eine leichte Entnahme der Taschentücher 43 gewährleistet.When the package is opened by lifting the closure flap 18 and by separating the perforation lines 32, 33, there is a removal opening 30 extending into a partial area of the rear wall 12, which ensures easy removal of the handkerchiefs 43.

Die Seitenstege 28, 29 des äußeren Faltlappens 18 sind mit der Oberseite des inneren Faltlappens 17 fest versiegelt bzw. verklebt. In diesem Bereich ergibt sich eine feste, dauerhafte Verbindung zwischen den randseitigen Seitenste­gen 28, 29 und dem inneren Faltlappen 17, hier durch Siegel­streifen 44.The side webs 28, 29 of the outer folding tab 18 are firmly sealed or glued to the top of the inner folding tab 17. In this area there is a fixed, permanent connection between the edge side webs 28, 29 and the inner folding tab 17, here by sealing strips 44.

Im Bereich der Verschlußlasche 23 ist - vor Ingebrauchnahme der Verpackung - eine lösbare Verbindung mit dem inneren Faltlappen 17 gegeben, die ein Abheben der Verschlußlasche 23 zum Öffnen der Verpackung gewährleistet. Zu diesem Zweck ist der innere Faltlappen 17 im Bereich der Verschlußlasche 23 oberseitig mit einer Beschichtung (Lack- bzw. Druckbe­schichtung) versehen. Diese ermöglicht eine Verbindung der Faltlappen 17 und 18 miteinander durch termisches Siegeln, wobei die Verbindung von geringerer Haltbarkeit ist und durch Abziehen des äußeren Faltlappens 18 beseitigt werden kann.In the area of the closure flap 23, before the packaging is put into use, there is a detachable connection with the inner folding tab 17, which ensures that the closure flap 23 is lifted off to open the packaging. For this purpose, the inner folding tab 17 is provided in the area of the closure flap 23 with a coating (lacquer or print coating). This enables the flaps 17 and 18 to be connected to one another by thermal sealing, the connection being less durable and being able to be eliminated by pulling off the outer folding flap 18.

Zum Öffnen und Wiederverschließen der Verpackung ist der Verschlußlasche 23 ein Klebestreifen 35 zugeordnet (Tape). Dieser ist - in Schließstellung - mit einem Schenkel 36 an der Vorderwand 11 und mit einem zweiten Schenkel 37 an der Seitenwand 14 bzw. an der Außenseite der Verschlußlasche 23 befestigt. Der Schenkel 36 ist mit einem klebstofffreien Griffende 38 versehen zum Erfassen des Klebestreifens 35.To open and reclose the packaging, the sealing tab 23 is assigned an adhesive strip 35 (tape). This is - in the closed position - attached with one leg 36 to the front wall 11 and with a second leg 37 to the side wall 14 or on the outside of the locking tab 23. The leg 36 is provided with an adhesive-free handle end 38 for gripping the adhesive strip 35.

Beim Öffnen der Verpackung wird der Klebestreifen 35 am Griffende 38 erfaßt. Der Schenkel 36 wird von der Vorder­wand 11 abgezogen. Durch weiteres Aufwärtsbewegen löst sich die Verschlußlasche 23 vom inneren Faltlappen 17, wobei die Verbindung des Klebestreifens 35 mit der Verschlußlasche 23 erhalten bleibt. Die Verschlußlasche 23 wird schließlich in die vollständige Öffnugnsstellung gezogen unter Durch­trennen der Perforationslinien 32, 33. Zum Wiederver­schließen der Verpackung werden die Schritte in umgekehrter Richtung vollzogen.When opening the packaging, the adhesive strip 35 is gripped at the end 38 of the handle. The leg 36 is pulled off the front wall 11. By further upward movement, the closure flap 23 is released from the inner folding flap 17, the connection of the adhesive strip 35 to the closure flap 23 being retained. The closure flap 23 is finally pulled into the full opening position by cutting through the perforation lines 32, 33. To reclose the packaging, the steps are carried out in the opposite direction.

Zur Verbesserung bzw. Vergrößerung der Entnahmeöffnung 30 ist bei den gezeigten Ausführungsbeispielen im inneren Falt­ lappen 17 eine Ausnehmung 39 gebildet, die zum freien Rand des Faltlappens 17 und damit zur Entnahmeöffnung 30 hin offen ist. Die Ausnehmung 39 erstreckt sich in einem mittleren Bereich des Faltlappens 17, so daß hier nach oben bzw. zur Seite weisende Ränder einer größeren Anzahl von Taschentüchern 43 freiliegen. Dadurch wird das Erfassen eines Taschentuchs für die Entnahme erleichtert.To improve or enlarge the removal opening 30 is in the inner fold in the exemplary embodiments shown lobes 17 formed a recess 39 which is open to the free edge of the folding tab 17 and thus to the removal opening 30. The recess 39 extends in a central region of the folding tab 17, so that here upward or to the side edges of a larger number of handkerchiefs 43 are exposed. This makes it easier to grasp a handkerchief for removal.

Die Ausnehmung 39 wird beim Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 1 und 2 durch eine im vorliegenden Falle bogen- , nämlich halbkreisförmige Perforation 40 im Bereich des Faltlappens 17 gebildet. Es wird dadurch ein Folienstück 41 begrenzt, welches beim erstmaligen Öffnen der Verpackung aus der Verbindung mit dem Faltlappen 17 herausgetrennt wird. Zu diesem Zweck ist das Folienstück 41 fest mit der Unterseite der Verschlußlasche 23 verbunden, insbesondere durch thermische Siegelung. Dabei ist zweckmäßigerweise die an der Oberseite des Faltlappens 17 im Bereich der Verschluß­lasche 23 angebrachte, eine feste Siegelung verhindernde Beschichtung im Bereich des Folienstücks 41 ausgespart, so daß dieses frei von Beschichtung unmittelbar fest an die Verschlußlasche 23 angesiegelt werden kann. Beim Öffnen der Verpackung mittels Klebestreifen 35 wird das Folienstück 41 beim Anheben des Faltlappens 18 unter Bildung der Aus­nehmung 39 aus dem Faltlappen 17 herausgetrennt.In the exemplary embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2, the recess 39 is formed in the present case by an arch-shaped, namely semicircular perforation 40 in the region of the folding tab 17. A piece of film 41 is thereby limited, which is separated from the connection with the folding tab 17 when the packaging is opened for the first time. For this purpose, the piece of film 41 is firmly connected to the underside of the closure tab 23, in particular by thermal sealing. In this case, the coating on the top of the folding tab 17 in the area of the closure flap 23, which prevents a firm sealing, is recessed in the area of the film piece 41 so that it can be sealed directly to the closure flap 23 without any coating. When the packaging is opened by means of adhesive strips 35, the film piece 41 is separated from the folding tab 17 when the folding tab 18 is lifted, forming the recess 39.

Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 3 sind Ausnehmung 39 und Folienstück 41 abweichend von dem Beispiel gemäß Fig. 1 und 2 ausgebildet. Zum einen erstreckt sich die Ausnehmung 39 und mithin das Folienstück 41 bis in den Bereich der der Vorderwand 11 zugekehrten Längskante 34. Der Zugang zu den Papier-Taschentüchern 43 ist dadurch auf der vollen Höhe bzw. Breite der Seitenwand 14 möglich. Des weiteren ist die Perforation 40 zur Begrenzung des Folienstücks 41 etwa wie der Endbereich einer Ellipse ausgebildet, also leicht bogen­förmig mit einer Abrundung 46 am freien Ende, so daß das Folienstück 41 und entsprechend die Ausnehmung 39 zungen­ förmig ausgebildet sind.In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 3, recess 39 and film piece 41 are formed differently from the example according to FIGS. 1 and 2. On the one hand, the recess 39 and thus the film piece 41 extend into the area of the longitudinal edge 34 facing the front wall 11. Access to the paper handkerchiefs 43 is thereby possible over the full height or width of the side wall 14. Furthermore, the perforation 40 for delimiting the film piece 41 is formed approximately like the end region of an ellipse, that is to say slightly arched with a rounding 46 at the free end, so that the film piece 41 and correspondingly the recess 39 are tongued are formed.

Des weiteren ist die Siegelung zum Fixieren des Folien­stücks 41 am Faltlappen 18 als Siegelstreifen 45 ausge­bildet, analog zu den Siegelstreifen 44 zum Anheften der Seitenstege 28, 29.Furthermore, the seal for fixing the film piece 41 to the folding tab 18 is designed as a sealing strip 45, analogously to the sealing strips 44 for attaching the side webs 28, 29.

Die Perforation 40 zur Begrenzung des Folienstücks 41 ist so ausgebildet, daß in einem mittleren Bereich ein durch­gehender Trennschnitt 42 vorgesehen ist und daran an­schließend Endbereiche als Perforation folgen.The perforation 40 for delimiting the piece of film 41 is designed such that a continuous separating cut 42 is provided in a central region and then end regions follow as a perforation.

Die so ausgebildete Öffnungshilfe kann, zweckmäßigerweise bei entsprechender Umgestaltung der Faltlappen - alternativ auch im Bereich der Stirnfläche 15 angebracht sein.The opening aid designed in this way can, expediently with a corresponding redesign of the folding tabs, alternatively also be attached in the region of the end face 15.
