Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for stacking with not self-supporting containers with fillable outer packaging with trays and Slip-on lids (see US-A-5 251 753).
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a solution with which Display effect is increased, in particular such that as many as possible Sales packaging can be seen in the retail store without that the entire stack collapses, or the non-self-supporting ones Containers are pressed together.
  • cardboard blanks with the Bottom arranged slots for insertion on the tray side walls Connection of at least two adjacent trays can be set. To this way, two or more trays can be combined to form a composite become. This further stabilizes the palletizing by moving forward an optimal facing surface is achieved.
  • the invention also provides a method in which several are adjacent arranged outer packaging of the slip lid only from individual, not from all outer packaging removed and only in the open trays can be set.
  • This allows the display range to be varied.
  • the facing surface of the packaging can only be used for every second layer be made visible, which add additional visual appeal can.
  • the outer surfaces of the slip lid can be provided with additional advertising Imprinting or the like can be provided etc.
  • As in the vertical it is also possible to leave the slip lid standing in the horizontal. With such a procedure, the corresponding number of cardboard blanks can be cut be saved. Also, if necessary, by partially leaving it of slip covers the load capacity and stability of the display range depending on Stack height can be influenced favorably.
  • An outer packaging according to the invention for Stacking of non-self-supporting containers 2 initially has a lower part formed tray 3 onto which a slip lid 4 is attached.
  • Several such outer packaging 1 are on one in FIG. 1st only partially shown pallet 5 stacked on top of one another.
  • the slip covers 4 are removed in whole or in part and by inventive, vertical, designed as support elements 6 Cardboard blanks 6 replaced.
  • a carding tray 7 On top of the open trays 2 with Cardboard blanks 6, a carding tray 7 is placed.
  • the support element 6 shows in that shown in Figures 1 to 3 Embodiment two perforations 8 to U-shaped in the erected state to be able to be set up, i.e. the two side wings 6a of the Cardboard blank 6 are at right angles to the middle one, for example with two slits 9 middle part 6b folded away at right angles.
  • the Slots 9 have radii 10 and allow insertion of the Support element 6 on the vertical wall areas 11 of the trays 3, see above that, as can be seen in the illustrated embodiment, several trays can be joined together.
  • the radii 10 facilitate this Put it together.
  • the individual trays 3 can be in any position in one way Modular system can be put together to form stable units. Thereby there is sufficient stability of the outer packaging 1 on the respective pallet 5 reached. At the same time, those set in the trays 3 are not self-supporting Container 2 is clearly recognizable from the outside with its so-called facing surface.
  • FIG. 4 Figures 4 to 6 show a modified embodiment of the Invention.
  • the trays 3 are here only partially parallel to one another, partially however also offset by 90 ° in succession, as in FIG. 4 with the reference numerals 3a and 3b identified.
  • each one Tray 3a, 3b each have a supporting element 6 used. Since in this case the Cardboard blanks 6 do not overlap the side walls 11 of the trays 3 additional slots 9 on the underside of the cardboard blank 6 are omitted become.
  • the cardboard blank 6 in this case also only has Perforation lines 8 on, around the side parts 6a perpendicular to the middle part 6b to be able to fold.
  • Fig. 5 shows a further variant insofar as only of the two in parallel aligned trays 3 of the slip lid 4 is removed and Support elements 6 are set in the trays 3.
  • the one behind it remains Tray 3 of the slip lid 4 placed transversely at an angle of 90 ° attached. This increases the stability of the entire outer packaging 1, at the same time, the open view of the container 2 remains in the area of the slip lid 4 freed trays 3b received.
  • the exemplary embodiments shown become the uppermost layer of containers 2 filled trays 3 covered with a carding tray 7.
  • the invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiments limited. Further configurations are possible without the scope defined by the claims to leave. So it is also possible, for example, the support elements 6 L, S and / or Z-shaped, i.e. for example instead of two Perforations 8 only one or more than two such perforations 8 to provide the side legs 6a longer, in fold in the opposite direction and also in these legs 6a Provide slots 10 to attach them to tray side walls 11 and the like. It is also with the appropriate cut and size dimensioning Slip-on lid 4 possible, the cardboard blanks 6 designed as supporting elements to form from appropriately prepared slip covers 4. This has the advantage that material can be saved and used twice.
  • the Carton blanks 6 can be in numerous variations in one or more trays 3, the facing surfaces of the outer packaging 1 set container 2 can thus meet the respective local requirements and sales modalities are adjusted and the like.
