Definitions

  • This invention relates to packaging material, to a process for its production and to a packaged article comprising the packaging material.
  • the invention relates to packaging material comprising a corrugated sheet of paper coated with a cohesive composition.
  • Packaging material based on a corrugated sheet of paper coated with a cohesive composition is well-known and an example of such a product is the material sold by the applicant under the trade mark Cushionwrap R .
  • the cohesive composition causes the paper to form an adhesive bond between coated sides but to form substantially no adhesive bond between a coated side and an uncoated side or another surface.
  • Cohesive compositions are well-known in the art and are disclosed in, for example, GB 1458812 and EP-A-0656442.
  • the packaging material generally includes a relatively thick sheet of corrugated paper backed with a sheet of liner paper and this can be difficult to tear, particularly when tightly wrapped around a packaged article.
  • zip strip can be two parallel lines of perforation through the packaging material which allows the package to be opened with greater ease by tearing along the lines of perforation.
  • a tear tape is generally a tape of a different material from that of the package and facilitates opening of the package by being pulled through, or away from, the package.
  • US 4778059 and US 5098747 describe shipping cartons made from conventional double faced corrugated board.
  • the cartons include a tear tape of a different material adhered to the inside of the carton which aids in tearing open the carton.
  • the opened cartons are intended to form a tray to display the products which are packaged in the cartons.
  • GB-A-2233316 also relates to cartons which, when opened, form trays for the packaged product.
  • the cartons are made of double faced corrugated board and include two parallel lines of perforation to allow them to be opened more easily.
  • US 5464151 discloses a container made of double faced corrugated board and incorporating a tear tape which is adhered to the inside of the container. Perforations provide a line of weakness for the tear tape but do not pass through the entire thickness of the board in order to avoid weakening the unopened container.
  • the present invention aims to make packages formed from packaging material of the type based on corrugated paper coated with a cohesive composition more easily openable. This is achieved by perforating the material through a strip of paper which is applied directly to the coated side of the corrugated sheet.
  • the present invention provides packaging material comprising a sheet of corrugated paper coated on at least one side with a cohesive composition and a strip adhered to a coated side of the sheet, perforations being present through the strip and the underlying sheet to provide a line of weakness to facilitate opening of the packaging material by tearing.
  • the invention also provides a packaged article comprising the packaging material of the invention.
  • the packaging material may be wrapped around the article.
  • the packaging material is a single faced corrugated material having a cohesive coating on one side of the sheet and a backing liner on the other side.
  • the backing liner will generally be of paper and the perforations which pass through the sheet and the strip preferably also pass through this liner.
  • the strip is preferably adhered to the sheet by interaction between the cohesive coating on the sheet and a cohesive coating on the strip. This has the advantage of avoiding the need for a separate adhesive system for the strip and overcomes the problem of adhering the strip to the sheet when it is coated with the cohesive composition.
  • the perforations are preferably in the form of two substantially parallel lines of cuts through the packaging material.
  • the perforations may extend along the length of the strip.
  • the lines are 2 to 3 cm apart and are spaced at a distance of about 1 to 2 cm in from the edges of the strip.
  • the strip is of paper so that the packaging material remains predominantly paper based to ensure that it is recyclable.
  • paper is intended to cover all interlaced fibrous products such as are derived from cellulosic materials.
  • the corrugated sheet is of wet-strengthened paper and the strip and the liner, when present, are of kraft paper.
  • the cohesive composition can be any composition which, when coated onto a substrate (such as, for example, paper), causes the coated substrate to bind strongly to other coated substrates but to form little or no adhesive bond to uncoated surfaces.
  • a substrate such as, for example, paper
  • Suitable compositions are well-known in the art and may be based on rubber, either natural, modified or synthetic.
  • the composition may be applied to the sheet in the form of a latex of the rubber.
  • the packaging material of the invention is conveniently produced by bonding the strip to the corrugated sheet by means of a cohesive composition and then perforating the resulting laminate. Therefore, in another embodiment, the present invention provides a process for producing the packaging material which comprises coating a strip with a cohesive composition, applying the coated strip to a sheet of corrugated paper coated with a cohesive composition so as to form an adhesive bond between the strip and the sheet and perforating the resulting laminate through the strip and the underlying sheet.
  • sheet of packaging material 1 is a laminate comprising a corrugated sheet 2 which is coated on its uppermost face (as depicted in Figure 1) with a cohesive composition.
  • a backing liner sheet 3 is adhesively bonded to the underside of the corrugated sheet 2 by a conventional adhesive system, for example a starch-based adhesive.
  • Strip 4 runs across corrugated sheet 2 and is adhesively bonded to it by means of a cohesive composition on strip 4 which adheres to the cohesive composition on corrugated sheet 2.
  • strip 4 is first coated on one side with a cohesive composition (preferably the same composition as is coated on corrugated sheet 2) and then applied to the coated side of corrugated sheet 2.
  • Strip 4 has two series of perforations 5 which extend along the length of the strip. The perforations 5 are in the form of cuts, but could be holes or other shapes punched through the strip, and extend through both the corrugated sheet 2 and the backing liner sheet 3.
  • Figure 2 illustrates the underside of the packaging material of Figure 1 (showing backing liner sheet 3). Perforations 5 extend along the backing liner sheet 3.
  • packaging material 1 When packaging material 1 is used to package an article (such as, for example, a book), the article is placed on the uppermost side of the packaging material 1, as shown in Figure 1 i.e., the side which has the coated corrugated surface provided by corrugated sheet 2 and the strip 4.
  • the packaging material is wrapped around the article by bringing different parts of the coated sheet 2 into contact, thus forming an adhesive bond between the cohesive coated surfaces and producing a package around the article.
  • the backing liner sheet 3 forms the outside of the package with perforations 5 visible.
  • the package is opened by tearing along perforations 5 and, as the packaging material 1 is torn, strip 4 provides reinforcement to keep the tear moving along perforations 5 rather than deviating away from the perforations 5 and into the unperforated corrugated sheet 2 and backing liner sheet 3.
  • the packaging material of the invention can be used in all applications for which the conventional products based on corrugated paper coated with a cohesive composition are appropriate and, by virtue of the deformability of the corrugated sheet, can cushion the packaged articles against damage in the same way.
