Definitions

  • the invention relates to a packaging for cigarettes, in particular a hinged box, with an inner wrapping made of paper or paper-like materials for a cigarette group, the inner wrapping having a pull tab (flap) delimited by a transverse perforation line in the region of a front wall.
  • Hinged-lid packaging is widely used for cigarettes.
  • the design of such packaging is largely uniform internationally.
  • the hinged box itself consists of a box part with a lid arranged on a box rear wall and with a collar arranged in the box part. This protrudes with an upper section the box part out. The free part of the collar is enclosed by the lid in the closed position of the hinged box.
  • the contents of the pack namely the cigarette group, are surrounded by an inner wrapper. This forms a removable flap when the packaging is used.
  • the invention is primarily concerned with this pull tab.
  • the pull tab in the area of its front serves as a support for a print, in particular for advertising purposes, as a voucher, etc.
  • At least a partial area of the front of the pull tab, but preferably the entire front of a front wall of the pull tab is made with one Provide word and / or image components existing print.
  • the imprint can be designed as advertising.
  • the pull tab designed in this way is particularly suitable as a voucher, authorization form for participation in competitions, tenders, etc.
  • the pull tab is significantly enlarged to fulfill the above function.
  • the perforation line or the lower limit of the pull tab is in any case below the collar in the invention, but above an oblique folding edge of a side tab of the pull tab.
  • the front wall of the pull tab and its front as a support for the print is significantly enlarged.
  • the print is applied to a material web before the production of blanks for the inner covering.
  • the material for the inner covering is accordingly at least partially finished when the blanks for the inner covering are formed by separating them from the material web.
  • the print or a partial marking of the same is applied according to the invention in the area of the packaging machine, so that the print is only effectively marked when the packaging is finished.
  • a collar 13 is located inside the hinged box. This is designed such that a collar front wall 14 with a lower partial area rests against the inside of a box front wall 15 of the box part 10 and is connected to the latter. Collar side tabs 16 are located in the area of box side walls 17, 18 of the packaging. The collar 13 sits with a lower area in the box part 10. The upper area protruding from this is enclosed in the closed position by the lid 11.
  • the collar front wall 14 is designed such that a recess 19 defined by curved contours is formed in the region of the collar front wall protruding from the box part 10.
  • the lower region of the collar front wall 14 in the box part 10 is formed by an appropriately designed tongue 20.
  • the pack contents namely a block-shaped cigarette group, are surrounded by an inner wrapper 21.
  • This consists of a blank 22 made of paper or paper-like material.
  • the blank 22 for the inner wrapping is separated from a material web 23 in the area of a packaging machine.
  • the material web 23 is wound into a bobbin 24.
  • the inner wrapper 21 surrounds the cigarette group on all sides.
  • the blank 22 is folded so that a closed bottom wall 25, a front wall 26, a corresponding rear wall 27, side walls 28, 29 and an end wall 30 are formed.
  • the side walls 28, 29 of the inner casing 21 consist of trapezoidally folded side tabs 31, 32 in the lower region, namely adjacent to the bottom wall 25. These partially overlap one another.
  • the side tab 31 facing the front wall 26 or connected to it is on the outside.
  • the end wall 30 is also formed by folding tabs.
  • a trapezoidal outer longitudinal tab 33 adjoins the front wall 26 in the region of the end wall 30.
  • the upper part of the front wall 26 of the inner casing 21 is designed as a pull tab 34. This is delimited by a lower transverse perforation line 35 which extends continuously in the region of the front wall 26 and the adjoining side tabs 31.
  • the pull tab 34 is removed when the hinged box is put into use, namely pulled out of the open box part 10. For this purpose, the pull tab 34 is gripped in the region of the longitudinal tab 33 of the end wall 30 and pulled upwards.
  • the perforation line 35 is cut through.
  • the pull tab 34 is provided with a printed image 36 which, in the present exemplary embodiment, extends over the entire front wall 26 of the pull tab 34 on the front thereof.
  • the printed image 36 can be advertising information.
  • the printed image 36 is preferably intended as a voucher, participation certificate in competitions or the like.
  • the pull tab 34 in the present exemplary embodiment is designed to be significantly larger than usual.
  • the perforation line 35 lies below the collar 13 or below the tongue 20 of the front wall 14 of the collar.
  • the possible lower position of the perforation line 35 is determined by an oblique edge 37 which is formed in the region of the side tabs 31, 32.
  • the perforation line 35 is located at a (small) distance above the upper end of this inclined edge 37.
  • This design of the pull tab 34 makes a larger area of the front wall 26 available for the printed image 36.
  • the printed image 36 is expediently already attached to the material web 23 for the blanks 22 in the correct position.
  • the material web 23 can be processed in the usual manner in a packaging machine.
  • FIG. 5 schematically shows details of such a packaging machine with a bobbin 24 for the running material web 23 and a replacement bobbin 38 to be connected after the same has been used up.
  • the material web 23 runs over a plurality of deflection rollers up to a separating station 39.
  • the blanks 22 are separated from the material web separated and kept ready for wrapping a cigarette group.
  • the separating station 39 has a marking station or a printing unit 40 in the conveying direction of the material web 23.
  • the printing unit 40 has the task of affixing the printed image 36 or additional markings in the area of the printed image 36 which are decisive for the validity of a voucher or the like.
  • the printing unit 40 consists of a control roller 41 which conveys the material web 23 in the correct position according to the usual printing marks.
  • a control print head 42 is assigned to the control roller 41 and attaches the print image 36 or the additional markings to it. This ensures that only pull tabs 34 originating from packaging can be used for the intended purpose.
