Description

Folding cardboard packaging made from 2 cardboard cuts

The invention relates to a folding cardboard packaging made of 2 cardboard blanks, which is particularly suitable for books with enclosed bonuses.

In recent years, a marketing concept has become increasingly popular for direct sales of books by post, in which the buyer is sent a bonus along with the book. This marketing concept also includes the fact that every customer has the option of returning the book that has been sent to them, while keeping the bonus included. The bonuses offered are items of very different shapes, but are usually sent along with the book. Up to now, it has been usual for the books themselves to be packaged by machine, but the bonuses have to be added by hand. Further problems arise from the fact that, due to the variety of bonuses and the different measurements of the books, variable dimensions for the book insert and variable dimensions for the bonus insert compartment must be available. If you then take into account that large publishers have to send well over 1 million books every month, then the demand for shipping to be carried out by machine as far as possible becomes imperative. However, this requires the development of folding cardboard packaging that can be processed fully automatically, allows for variable compartment design, offers sufficient protection against the stresses of shipping and enables the used packaging materials to be disposed of without any problems.

To solve this problem, a folding cardboard packaging made of 2 cardboard blanks is proposed, which is characterized in that the rectangular base and lid parts are connected to the long sides divided by fold lines and are made in one piece.

and that the transverse sides are provided with a
the insert corresponding to the base part is connected by multiple folding around pre-grooved fold lines and is formed in one piece, whereby the insert is subdivided by folding along pre-grooved transverse fold lines.

The folding cardboard packaging according to the invention, which can be processed fully automatically by machine, is characterized in that the packaging consists of 2 cardboard cuts, which on the one hand allow adequate protection of the goods being shipped, variable division of the inner compartments and on the other hand processing on modern packaging machines of the order of about 50 packages per minute.

The packaging according to the invention consists of a first blank, which subsequently comprises the lid, a longitudinal wall, the
base, the second long side and the closure flap. These and the long sides are connected by pre-creased fold lines
Grooving is a process whereby
in which folding edges are cut into the
Cut-outs are pressed in. Without prior creasing, the cut-out would otherwise tear at the folding edges when erected, resulting in unstable and unsightly packaging.

The second cut forms after erecting and folding
the transverse sides of the packaging in the form of two cushions and an insert corresponding to the size of the base part, whereby a further cushion can be added to this by means of pre-grooved fold lines
for the purpose of subdividing the total area
can.

During machine processing, the insert is first assembled by erecting and gluing the cushions forming the transverse walls
and erecting the subdivision, after which this entry

set is then connected to the first cut, for example by gluing with so-called hot melts. Then one or more books or a book and a premium
inserted, the long sides of the first cut are folded up, the lid is folded down and the packaging is closed with the help of the cover flap, for example by gluing.

The division of the inner compartment of this packaging is variable and can therefore be designed depending on the creasing of the cut so that different books or one book or another object can be accommodated in this packaging. Such packaging is not only suitable for sending books, but also for other shock and pressure-sensitive objects that are sent in large numbers and in
are to be shipped in standardized dimensions.

In the following, the invention is explained in more detail with reference to the drawings
explains:

Figure 1 shows the cutting according to the invention
Figure 2 shows the finished erected packaging

The blank forming the insert (1) is made in one piece and has three grooves at each end, which, when erected, form the transverse walls (2a, 2b) in the form of a cushion by folding and turning inwards.
In place of the insert (1) there are three further spaced pre-grooved fold lines, which when erected along these lines also form a downwardly open cushion (3) for
Subdivision of the insert (1).

The second blank consists of the lid (7) and the base (6) as well as the longitudinal walls indicated by pre-grooved fold lines (4a, 4b) and the closure flap (8).

To assemble and erect the packaging, the insert (1) is first folded and the side cushions glued. In this state, the insert is also glued to the base surface (6), after which the long sides are then folded up and the flap and the lid are connected to one another by gluing or in a similar way.

Claims (3)

sayings 1. Folding cardboard packaging made of 2 cardboard blanks, characterized in that the rectangular base and lid parts (6, 7) are connected to the long sides (4a, 4b) divided by pre-grooved fold lines and a flap (8) and are formed in one piece, and that the transverse sides (2a, 2b) are connected to an insert (1) corresponding in size to the base part (6) by multiple folding around pre-grooved fold lines and are formed in one piece, the insert (1) being provided with a subdivision (3) by folding around pre-grooved transverse fold lines. 2. Folding cardboard packaging according to claim 1, characterized in that the transverse sides (2a, 2b) are glued to the insert (1) and these in turn are glued to the base (6) of the other blank. 3. Folding cardboard packaging according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the connection between the flap (8) and the lid (7) is made by gluing.
