Gebindepackungen sind für Zigaretten international eine verbreitete Handhabungs- und Vertriebseinheit. Üblicherweise besteht ein Gebinde, auch bekannt als Zigarettenstange, aus zehn einzelnen Zigarettenpackungen. Überwiegend sind diese in einer Formation mit zwei Reihen angeordnet, wobei innerhalb einer Packungsreihe die Zigarettenpackungen mit schmalen Seitenwände aneinander liegen. Die Packungsgruppe ist von mindestens einem Zuschnitt umgeben, der aus (dünnem) Karton, Papier oder Folie bestehen kann.Bundle packs are a widespread handling and distribution unit for cigarettes internationally. Usually, a container, also known as a cigarette rod, consists of ten individual cigarette packs. Most of these are arranged in a formation with two rows, within a row of packs, the cigarette packs are with narrow side walls together. The pack group is surrounded by at least one blank, which may consist of (thin) cardboard, paper or foil.
Gebindepackungen aus Karton sind vielfach bevorzugt, weil sie aufgrund der erhöhten Formstabilität eine ansprechende Präsentation gewährleisten. Der Zuschnitt für eine derartige Gebindepackung ist so ausgebildet, dass die Packungsgruppe allseitig umgeben ist. Für die Entnahme einzelner Packungen ist ein so ausgebildeter Kartonbehälter mit einer Verschluss- bzw. Stecklasche versehen. Zusätzlich ist eine Außenumhüllung aus durchsichtiger bzw. klarsichtiger Folie vorgesehen, die mittels Aufreißfaden/Aufreißstreifen entfernt werden kann.Carton packs made of cardboard are often preferred, because they ensure an appealing presentation due to the increased dimensional stability. The blank for such a bundle pack is designed so that the packing group is surrounded on all sides. For the removal of individual packs such a trained cardboard container is provided with a closure or insertion tab. In addition, an outer envelope of transparent or clear film is provided, which can be removed by means of tear thread / tear strip.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Gebindepackung für Zigaretten oder ähnliche Produkte vorzuschlagen, die einerseits ein ansprechendes äußeres Erscheinungsbild hat, andererseits einen geringeren Materialaufwand erfordert und darüber hinaus mit Hilfe herkömmlicher Verpackungsmaschinen gefertigt werden kann.The invention has for its object to propose a bundle pack for cigarettes or similar products, on the one hand has a pleasing appearance, on the other hand, a lower cost of materials and, moreover, can be manufactured using conventional packaging machines.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist die erfindungsgemäße Gebindepackung dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Packungsgruppe (ausschließlich) von einer ausTo solve this problem, the bundle pack according to the invention is characterized in that the packing group (exclusively) from one
(dünnem) Karton oder gleichartigem Verpackungsmaterial bestehenden(thin) cardboard or similar packaging material existing
Umhüllung umgeben ist, die als an beiden Enden offene, im Querschnitt quaderförmige Hülse ausgebildet ist. Die Zigarettenpackungen sind innerhalb derEnvelope is surrounded, which is designed as open at both ends, rectangular in cross-section sleeve. The cigarette packs are inside the
Hülse so formiert, dass an den freien Enden vorzugsweise zwei (aufrecht) nebeneinander angeordnete schmale Seitenwände von zwei randseitigenFormed sleeve so that at the free ends preferably two (upright) juxtaposed narrow side walls of two edge-side
Packungen sichtbar sind.Packs are visible.
Der Gedanke der Erfindung besteht demnach darin, eine Umhüllung der Packungsgruppe aus üblichem, dünnem Karton zu verwenden, diese aber als einfachen, rechteckigen Zuschnitt zu gestalten, der die Packungsgruppe als im Querschnitt rechteckige Hülse formschlüssig umgibt. Diese Innen- bzw. Kartonumhüllung der Zigarettengruppe ist demnach an beiden Enden offen. In einer besonders materialsparenden Ausführung ist die Zigarettengruppe ausschließlich von dieser Umhüllung umgeben, wobei vorzugsweise an den Enden angeordnete Zigarettenpackungen, insbesondere zwei nebeneinanderliegende Zigarettenpackungen, durch lösbare Verklebung (Leimpunkte) mit der Innenseite der Umhüllung verbunden sind, vorzugsweise mittels Haftkleber. Alternativ oder zusätzlich ist eine Außenumhüllung aus Folie vorgesehen, die vorzugsweise die Einheit aus Zigarettengruppe und Umhüllung vollständig umgibt und mit einer Aufreißhilfe, insbesondere einem Aufreißstreifen zum leichten Entfernen versehen ist.The idea of the invention is therefore to use a wrapping of the packing group of conventional, thin cardboard, but to make it as a simple, rectangular blank, which surrounds the packing group as a cross-sectionally rectangular sleeve in a form-fitting manner. This inner or Kartonumhüllung the cigarette group is therefore open at both ends. In a particularly material-saving embodiment, the cigarette group is surrounded exclusively by this enclosure, wherein preferably arranged at the ends cigarette packets, in particular two juxtaposed cigarette packs are connected by releasable bonding (glue points) with the inside of the enclosure, preferably by means of pressure-sensitive adhesive. Alternatively or additionally, an outer wrapping of film is provided, which preferably completely surrounds the unit of cigarette group and wrapping and is provided with a tear-open, in particular a tear strip for easy removal.
Eine Besonderheit besteht darin, die Längsabmessung der Umhüllung zu reduzieren, sodass diese nicht mit den Abmessungen der Packungsgruppe bündig ist, sondern insbesondere um die Abmessung einer Zigarettenpackung (Packungsbreite) reduziert ist. Die Packungsgruppe ist bei dieser besonderen Ausführung so in der Hülse positioniert, dass an beiden Enden jeweils (etwa) die Hälfte einer Zigarettenpackung bzw. von zwei nebeneinanderliegenden Zigarettenpackungen sichtbar ist. Bei Ingebrauchnahme der Gebindepackung werden zwei nebeneinanderliegende Zigarettenpackungen aus der Hülse herausgezogen und der verbleibende Rest von insbesondere acht Zigarettenpackungen so in der Hülse verschoben, dass diese mit der (Rest-)Packungsgruppe bündig ist.A special feature is to reduce the longitudinal dimension of the envelope, so that it is not flush with the dimensions of the packing group, but in particular by the dimension of a cigarette pack (package width) is reduced. In this particular embodiment, the packing group is positioned in the sleeve so that (approximately) half of a cigarette pack or of two cigarette packs lying next to one another is visible at both ends. When putting the bundle pack into use two adjacent cigarette packs are pulled out of the sleeve and the remaining remainder of in particular eight cigarette packs are displaced in the sleeve in such a way that it is flush with the (residual) pack group.
Weiterhin besteht eine Besonderheit darin, dass die hülsenförmige Umhüllung mit quergerichteten, ringsherumlaufenden Schwächungslinien, insbesondere Perforationslinien versehen ist. Diese ermöglichen das Abtrennen von Teilgruppen, insbesondere von jeweils zwei Zigarettenpackungen mit einer Teil- Umhüllung.Furthermore, there is a special feature in that the sleeve-shaped enclosure is provided with transversely directed, all around circumferential weakening lines, in particular perforation lines. These allow the separation of subgroups, in particular of each two cigarette packs with a Teil- wrapping.

Die vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiele für Gebindepackungen dienen zur Aufnahme von Zigarettenpackungen 10 in der Ausführung als Klappschachtel. Es handelt sich dabei um die weltweit anzutreffende Hartpackung aus dünnem Karton. Die quaderförmige Zigarettenpackung 10 mit Schachtelteil 11 und Deckel 12 besteht aus großflächiger Vorderwand 13 und Rückwand 14, schmalen, aufrechten Seitenwänden 15, 16 sowie einer oberen Stirnwand 17 im Bereich des Deckels 12 und einer unteren Bodenwand 18 des Schachtelteils 1 1.The present embodiments of bundle packs serve to receive cigarette packs 10 in the form of a folding box. It is the world-wide hard pack made of thin cardboard. The cuboid cigarette packet 10 with box part 11 and cover 12 consists of large front wall 13 and rear wall 14, narrow, upright side walls 15, 16 and an upper end wall 17 in the region of the lid 12 and a lower bottom wall 18 of the box part 1 first
Mehrere Zigarettenpackungen 10 bilden eine Packungsgruppe 19. Die Zigarettenpackungen 10 sind innerhalb der Packungsgruppe 19 in einer besonderen Formation angeordnet. Überwiegend werden, wie in den Zeichnungen dargestellt, zwei Packungsreihen 20, 21 gebildet, die jeweils aus fünf Zigarettenpackung 10 bestehen. Die Packungsreihen 20, 21 liegen ausgerichtet nebeneinander, sodass bei dem vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel fünf Paare von Zigarettenpackungen 10 die Packungsgruppe 19 bilden. Innerhalb der Packungsreihe 20, 21 liegen die Zigarettenpackungen 10 mit den schmalen Seitenwänden 15, 16 und die quer zu den Packungsreihen 20, 21 nebeneinanderliegenden Zigarettenpackungen 10 mit den großflächigen Wandungen, nämlich Vorderwand 13 und Rückwand 14 aneinander.Several cigarette packs 10 form a pack group 19. The cigarette packs 10 are arranged within the pack group 19 in a special formation. Predominantly, as shown in the drawings, two rows of packages 20, 21 are formed, each consisting of five packets of cigarettes 10. The rows of packages 20, 21 are aligned adjacent to each other, so that in the present embodiment, five pairs of cigarette packs 10 form the pack group 19. Within the row of packets 20, 21, the cigarette packs 10 with the narrow side walls 15, 16 and the cigarette packs 10 adjacent to the pack rows 20, 21 are in contact with the large-area walls, namely front wall 13 and rear wall 14.
Die so oder in anderer Weise ausgebildete Packungsgruppe 19 ist von einem ersten Zuschnitt umgeben, nämlich von einer inneren Umhüllung 22. Diese besteht aus Verpackungsmaterial mit erhöhter Formstabilität, insbesondere aus (dünnem) Karton. Die Umhüllung 22 umschließt die Packungsgruppe 19 als im Querschnitt rechteckige Hülse unter Bildung von großflächigen Längswände 23, 24 und schmaleren quergerichteten Wänden, nämlich Oberwand 25 und Unterwand 26. Die Umhüllung 22 der Packungsgruppe 19 ist an beiden Enden offen.The packing group 19 formed in this way or in another way is surrounded by a first blank, namely by an inner wrapping 22. This consists of packaging material with increased dimensional stability, in particular of (thin) cardboard. The enclosure 22 encloses the package group 19 as a rectangular cross-section sleeve to form large longitudinal walls 23, 24 and narrower transverse walls, namely top wall 25 and bottom wall 26. The enclosure 22 of the packing group 19 is open at both ends.
Bei dem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 1 ist als äußere Umhüllung für die Einheit aus Packungsgruppe 19 und Umhüllung 22 ein Außenzuschnitt 27 aus sehr dünnem Verpackungsmaterial insbesondere aus durchsichtiger bzw. klarsichtiger Folie vorgesehen. Diese Außenpackung ist als Komplettumhüllung ausgebildet mit einer Endfaltung 28 an den beiden Endflächen der Packungsgruppe 19, also an den beiden nebeneinanderliegenden Seitenwänden 15, 16 der randseitigen Paare von Zigarettenpackungen 10. Der von den Außenzuschnitt 27 gebildete Außeneinschlag der Gebindepackung ist mit einer Öffnungshilfe versehen, hier mit einem ringsherum laufenden Aufreißstreifen 29, der im Bereich einer Längskante einen überstehenden und so erfassbaren Anfasszipfel 30 aufweist. Der Außenzuschnitt 27 wird bei Ingebrauchnahme der Gebindepackung mit Hilfe des Aufreißstreifens 29 entfernt.In the preferred embodiment according to FIG. 1, an outer cutout 27 of very thin packaging material, in particular of transparent or transparent foil, is provided as outer covering for the unit of packing group 19 and wrapping 22. This outer pack is designed as a complete enclosure with an end fold 28 on the two end faces of the pack group 19, ie on the two adjacent side walls 15, 16 of the peripheral pairs of cigarette packs 10. The outer envelope of the bundle pack formed by the outer cut 27 is provided with an opening aid, here with a around running tear strip 29, which has a protruding and thus detectable touch tab 30 in the region of a longitudinal edge. The outer cut 27 is removed when putting the bundle pack with the help of the tear strip 29.
Die hülsenartige Umhüllung 22 ist auf die Abmessung der Packungsgruppe 19 angestimmt. Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 5 entspricht die Längsabmessung der Umhüllung 22 der entsprechenden Abmessung der Packungsgruppe 19. Endflächen der Packungsgruppe 19, nämlich Seitenwände 15, 16 der randseitigen Zigarettenpackungen 10, sind bündig mit Endrändern der Umhüllung 22, sodass eine insgesamt exakt quaderförmige Einheit mit durchgängigen Flächen der Umhüllung 22 entsteht. Die Umhüllung 22 kann in üblicher Weise mit dekorativer und/oder informativer Bedruckung versehen sein.The sleeve-like sheath 22 is tuned to the dimension of the packing group 19. In the embodiment according to FIG. 5, the longitudinal dimension of the envelope 22 corresponds to the corresponding dimension of the pack group 19.

Die Gesamtheit der Zigarettenpackungen 10 der Packungsgruppe 19 wird demnach von der unter gewisser Spannung angebrachten Umhüllung 22 erfasst und fixiert. Der Materialbedarf ist aber reduziert. Darüber hinaus sind wesentliche Bereiche der Zigarettenpackungen 10 sichtbar.A special feature is realized in the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 4. The longitudinal dimension of the envelope 22 is reduced relative to the corresponding dimension of the package group 19, in this case exactly the transverse dimension of a cigarette packet 10, so the transverse dimension of front wall 13 and rear wall 14. The shortened envelope 22 is positioned centrally on the package group 19, so in that the two edge-side cigarette packs 10 protrude from the casing 22 at both ends, in each case (approximately) with half the width (Figure 2). The entirety of the cigarette packs 10 of the pack group 19 is thus detected and fixed by the cover 22 attached under a certain tension. The material requirement is reduced. In addition, essential areas of the cigarette packs 10 are visible.
Die vorstehende Ausführung der Gebindepackung ermöglicht einen besonderen Gebrauch derselben. Nach Entfernen des Außenzuschnitts 27 werden zwei der randseitigen Zigarettenpackung 10 aus der Umhüllung 22 herausgenommen (Fig. 3). Die verbleibenden (acht) Zigarettenpackungen 10 werden in der Umhüllung 22 verschoben, sodass diese nun bündig mit der Rest-Packungsgruppe abschließt. Weitere Zigarettenpackungen können der Umhüllung 22 nach Bedarf entnommen werden. Hierfür ist eine weitere Besonderheit vorgesehen. Die Umhüllung 22 ist mit quergerichteten bzw. ringsherumlaufenden Schwächungslinien versehen, hier mit vorzugsweise mehreren, parallelen Perforationslinien 31. Diese sind so positioniert, dass sie im Bereich einer quergerichteten Teilungsebene zwischen benachbarten Zigarettenpackungen 10 der Packungsgruppe 19 liegen. Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 1 bis Fig. 4 sind (drei) Perforationslinien 31 so angeordnet, dass sie nach der Entnahme von zwei Zigarettenpackungen und Verschiebung der Rest-Packungsgruppe im Bereich einer quergerichteten Teilungsebene zwischen benachbarten Paaren von Zigarettenpackungen 10 liegen (Fig. 4). Es können dadurch Einheiten abgetrennt werden, die aus zwei Zigarettenpackungen 10 und einem Umhüllungsabschnitt 32 bestehen. Diese Kleineinheit eignet sich als Verkaufs- und Handhabungspaket.The above embodiment of the package allows a special use of the same. After removal of the outer cut 27, two of the marginal cigarette packs 10 are removed from the wrapper 22 (FIG. 3). The remaining (eight) packets of cigarettes 10 are displaced in the enclosure 22, so that they now flush with the rest of the pack group. Other cigarette packs may be removed from the enclosure 22 as needed. For this purpose, another special feature is provided. The wrapping 22 is provided with transverse weakening lines, here preferably with a plurality of parallel perforation lines 31. These are positioned so that they lie in the region of a transverse dividing plane between adjacent cigarette packs 10 of the pack group 19. In the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 4, (three) perforation lines 31 are arranged such that they lie in the region of a transverse dividing plane between adjacent pairs of cigarette packs 10 after removal of two cigarette packs and displacement of the rest pack group (FIG ). It can thereby be separated units consisting of two cigarette packs 10 and a wrapping section 32. This small unit is suitable as a sales and handling package.
Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 5 mit sich über die volle Länge der Packungsgruppe 19 erstreckender Umhüllung 22 sind ebenfalls (vier) quergerichtete Perforationslinien 31 vorgesehen. Diese ermöglichen die Abtrennung von Packungseinheiten mit zwei Zigarettenpackungen 10 und einem Umhüllungsabschnitt 32.In the embodiment according to FIG. 5, with casing 22 extending over the full length of the packing group 19, likewise (four) transverse perforation lines 31 are provided. These allow the separation of packing units with two cigarette packs 10 and a wrapping section 32.
Der Zuschnitt für die Umhüllung 22 hat eine einfache, rechteckige Form (Fig. 6). Der Zuschnitt ist in der Weise vorbereitet, dass in Längsrichtung der herzustellenden Umhüllung 22 verlaufende Faltlinien 33 in das Verpackungsmaterial (Karton) eingeformt sind. Es handelt sich hier um vier parallele Faltlinien 33 zur Begrenzung der Wandungen 23..26 der Umhüllung 22. Die Faltlinien 33 sind insbesondere als eingeformte Prägelinien ausgebildet. Quer zu diesen verlaufen Schwächungslinien, insbesondere die Perforationslinien 31. Diese sind so angeordnet, dass die Umhüllungsabschnitte 32 von der Umhüllung 22 abtrennbar sind (Fig. 4). Bei dieser Ausführung sind demnach frei parallele Perforationslinien 31 angebracht. Bei der Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 5 ist der Zuschnitt mit vier derartigen Perforationslinien 31 versehen.The blank for the wrapper 22 has a simple, rectangular shape (Figure 6). The blank is prepared in such a way that in the longitudinal direction of the envelope 22 to be produced extending fold lines 33 are formed in the packaging material (cardboard). These are four parallel fold lines 33 for delimiting the walls 23. 23 of the envelope 22. The fold lines 33 are designed in particular as molded embossed lines. Weakening lines, in particular the perforation lines 31, run transversely to these. These are arranged so that the covering sections 32 can be separated from the covering 22 (FIG. 4). In this embodiment, therefore, freely parallel perforation lines 31 are attached. In the embodiment according to FIG. 5, the blank is provided with four such perforation lines 31.
Der Zuschnitt wird in üblicher Weise um die Packungsgruppe 19 herumgefaltet, derart, dass im Bereich der Unterwand 26 Randlappen 34, 35 des Zuschnitts eine Überlappung bilden. Ein äußerer Randlappen 34 erstreckt sich im Wesentlichen über die volle Breite der Unterwand 26. Der innere Randlappen 35 ist mit reduzierter Breite ausgebildet und innenseitig mit dem Randlappen 34 durch Klebung verbunden.The blank is folded over in the usual way around the package group 19, such that in the region of the bottom wall 26 edge tabs 34, 35 of the blank form an overlap. An outer edge tab 34 extends substantially over the full width of the bottom wall 26. The inner edge tab 35 is formed with reduced width and the inside connected to the edge tabs 34 by gluing.
Die Zigarettenpackungen 10 in der Ausführung als Klappschachtel sind so angeordnet, dass die Bodenwände 18 jeweils auf der Unterwand 26 der Umhüllung 22 ruhen. Benachbarte Zigarettenpackungen 10 sind an Vorderwand 13 und Rückwand 14 liegend positioniert.The cigarette packs 10 in the form of a folding box are arranged such that the bottom walls 18 each rest on the bottom wall 26 of the casing 22. Adjacent cigarette packs 10 are positioned lying on front wall 13 and rear wall 14.
Die Gebindepackung ist auch für andere Formationen von Zigarettenpackungen 10 eine Besonderheit. So können die (zehn) Zigarettenpackungen 10 in einer einzelnen Reihe mit den großen Packungsflächen aneinanderliegend positioniert sein, also mit Vorderwand 13 und Rückwand 14 aneinanderliegend (Querstellung). In diesem Falle ist eine Umhüllung 22 angebracht, die sich über die volle Länge der Packungsgruppe 19 erstreckt (analog zu Fig. 5). Bei derartiger Formation sind die Front- oder Rückseiten der Endpackungen vollflächig sichtbar.The bundle pack is also for other formations of cigarette packs 10 a special feature. Thus, the (ten) cigarette packs 10 may be positioned adjacent to each other in a single row with the large packing surfaces, ie contiguous with the front wall 13 and rear wall 14 (transverse position). In this case, a sheath 22 is attached, which extends over the full length of the packing group 19 (analogous to FIG. 5). In such a formation, the front or back sides of the end packs are visible over the entire surface.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist die Gestaltung der Gebindepackung, wenn der Außenzuschnitt 27 aus einer Schrumpffolie besteht, also aus einer Folie, die insbesondere durch Wärmebehandlung schrumpft und dadurch unter Spannung an der Umhüllung 22 bzw. der Packungsgruppe 19 anliegt. Als materialsparende Alternative kann auf die Außenumhüllung, also den Außenzuschnitt 27, verzichtet werden. Die handelsfertige Gebindepackung ist entsprechend Fig. 2 oder entsprechend Fig. 5 ausgebildet. Dabei ist es zweckmäßig, mindestens die jeweils am Ende der Umhüllung 22 angeordneten Zigarettenpackungen 10, also insbesondere die mit einem Teilbereich aus der Umhüllung 22 herausragenden Zigarettenpackungen (Fig. 2) innerhalb der Umhüllung 22 lösbar zu fixieren, vorzugsweise durch eine leicht lösbare Leimverbindung, zum Beispiel durch punktförmige Haftkleber. Diese können vorzugsweise im Bereich der Stirnwand 17 und/oder Bodenwand 18 der Zigarettenpackungen 10 angebracht sein. 3. August 2009/9312The configuration of the bundle pack is particularly advantageous if the outer cut 27 consists of a shrink film, that is to say of a film which in particular shrinks by heat treatment and thereby rests under tension on the wrapping 22 or the packing group 19. As a material-saving alternative, it is possible to dispense with the outer covering, that is to say the outer cut 27. The ready-to-pack package is formed according to FIG. 2 or according to FIG. 5. It is expedient to fix at least the respectively arranged at the end of the envelope 22 cigarette packs 10, so in particular with a portion of the casing 22 outstanding cigarette packs (Fig. 2) within the enclosure 22 releasably to fix, preferably by an easily detachable glue joint, for Example by punctiform pressure-sensitive adhesive. These can preferably be mounted in the region of the end wall 17 and / or bottom wall 18 of the cigarette packs 10. August 3, 2009/9312
