Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/624,027 for a SHAPED CONTAINER AND METHOD OF MAKING, filed on Nov. 19, 2004, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention generally relates to shaped containers and more specifically to a container that has areas of weakness that are deformed relative to the remainder of the container by a wrap material.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- In the marketing of products, it is important to quickly catch the consumers' attention. This is particularly important in retail marketing when numerous competing products are stacked closely together on store shelves. Unique packaging is one method to catch the consumer's attention. Traditionally, unique graphics on product packaging have been employed to garner the consumer's attention.
- In addition to graphics, there have been attempts to provide unique shapes to containers. These attempts are not believed to have been successful for several reasons. First, shaped containers are hard to manufacture on a commercial basis. The various shapes can be difficult to assemble in traditional carton manufacturing equipment. Further, shaped containers can add significant costs to the container. Many times, these shaped containers have to be assembled by hand, because of their unique shapes. What is needed is a method for shaping a normal carton with a wrapping material to get a unique shaped carton.
- The invention provides a container including a front panel and a back panel spaced from the front panel. The container also includes first and second side panels connecting the front and back panels. The container also includes at least one area of weakness on at least one of the front back and side panels. The container also includes a wrapping material extending around a portion of the container deforming the at least one area of weakness relative to the other of the panels. After wrapping, the container has a predetermined shape formed by deforming the area of weakness relative to the remainder of the container.
- Other applications of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art when the following description of the best mode contemplated for practicing the invention is read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the container of the present invention; -
FIG. 2 is a blank of the container ofFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 3 is a flow chart of the method of making the container ofFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 4 is a further embodiment of a container of the present invention before deformation; and -
FIG. 5 is the container ofFIG. 4 deformed to its desired shape. - The present invention discloses a container having a front panel, back panel and side panels, with the side panels connecting the front and back panels. It should be understood that the container can be of any basic design, such as for example fifth panel cartons, bag in box, tri-seal, wrap around, horizontal, vertical, linerless, square, rectangular, oblong, round, etc. The container has at least one area of weakness on at least one of the front back or side panels. Wrapping material extends around a portion of the container deforming at least one area of weakness relative to the remainder of the container. In this way, the container is deformed into a predetermined shape along the area of weakness relative to the remainder of the container.
- The area of weakness in the preferred embodiment is defined by at least two pair of opposed curved lines, one of the pairs extending generally longitudinally along the front panel closely adjacent the side panels, the other of the pairs extending generally longitudinally along the back panel closely adjacent the side panels. The wrapping material deforms the area of weakness relative to the remainder of the container to define a generally hour glass shape to the container.
- It will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that numerous other shapes can be obtained with the teachings of this invention. To create a carton with a different shape merely requires creating areas of weakness, that when deformed, will result in the desired shape. In this way, diverse shapes such as stars, moons, letters, numbers, characters etc. can be created. In another embodiment by way of example, a rabbit head and body are created using the teachings of this invention.
- The areas of weakness are generally defined by one or more lines that are formed in the container. These lines may be slits cut into the container, perforations formed in the container, or a plurality of lines to make an accordion like region that can fold upon itself to form the deformed area etc. In addition, the wrapping material can have graphics and information printed on it. These graphics and information, can be all the information or a portion of the containers' information which mates with the other information on the container.
- With reference to
FIG. 1 , the container of the present invention is shown generally at 10. Thecontainer 10 has afront panel 12, aback panel 14, 16 and 18, aside panels top 20 and abottom 22. It should be understood that the container could have numerous variations with more or less than two sides, fronts, or backs or any desired geometric shape. For example, the container could have six panels, three panels etc., or be oblong, square, or rectangular. The container could also not have a bottom or top. - With reference to figures land 2, the
container 10 ofFIG. 1 has two areas ofweakness 24. The areas ofweakness 24 are defined by two pair of opposed 26 and 28.curved lines Line 29 is on theside flap 18 and joinsline 28 whencontainer 10 is assembled. One of thepairs 26 extends generally longitudinally along thefront panel 12 closely adjacent the 16 and 18. Theside panels other pair 28 extends generally longitudinally along theback panel 14 closely adjacent the 16 and 18.side panels - Wrapping
material 30 deforms the area ofweakness 24 relative to the remainder of thecontainer 10 to define a generally hour glass shape to thecontainer 10. The wrappingmaterial 30 can be of any material that can be pulled together to deform thecontainer 10, including paper, plastic, cloth, etc. In the preferred embodiment, plastic shrink wrap material is used. - The wrapping
material 30 can be used to fully envelop thecontainer 10 or only wrap thearea 24 to be deformed. Additionally, thewrap material 30 can include graphics and printing that either provide all the graphics associated with the container or mate with graphics and printing already on thecontainer 10. - With reference to
FIG. 3 , a process for making thecontainer 10 of the present invention is illustrated. In thefirst step 32, a container blank 34 is formed with the 26 and 28. The container blank 34 is made of any common container material such as for example, paper, cardboard, or plastic. In the preferred embodiment, the blank is cardboard of the type used to make cereal boxes. In thecurved lines second step 36, the blank 34 is folded and glued as is common in container manufacture. Once formed into a container, during thethird step 38wrap material 30 is placed around thecontainer 10. In the disclosed embodiment, thewrap material 30 is wrapped around the mid-portion of thecontainer 10, but could have enveloped the entire container if desired. Once in place, thewrap material 30, which in this embodiment is shrink wrap material, is heated to shrink it around thecontainer 10 to form the desired hour glass shape. - With reference to
FIGS. 4 and 5 , anothercontainer 50 is illustrated which was formed by the method of the present invention.FIG. 4 illustrates an animal head formed in thecontainer 50. Thecontainer 50 has afirst portion 52 that is removed or scored so that it can fold in.Lines 54 are created to provide the desired shape.Lines 54 can be cut through, scored or perforated, etc. Once the wrappingmaterial 30, in this embodiment it would preferably be shrink wrap, squeezes thecontainer 10, the desired shape appears. - The foregoing invention has been described in accordance with the relevant legal standards, thus the description is exemplary rather than limiting in nature. Variations and modifications to the disclosed embodiment may become apparent to those skilled in the art and do come within the scope of the invention. Accordingly, the scope of legal protection afforded this invention can only be determined by studying the following claims.
