Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Zigaretten-Packung für eine Zigarettengruppe, die allseitig von einer Innenumhüllung aus Papier oder ähnlichem Material umgeben ist und so einen Zigarettenblock bildet, wobei der Zigarettenblock in einem oben offenen, äußeren Packungsteil, nämlich einem Schachtelteil aus Karton oder einem Becher aus Papier, angeordnet ist und wobei der von der Innenumhüllung umgebene Zigarettenblock mit einem oberen Teilbereich aus dem oben offenen, äußeren Packungsteil herausragt.The invention relates to a cigarette pack for a cigarette group, which is surrounded on all sides by an inner wrapping made of paper or similar material and thus forms a cigarette block, the cigarette block in an open top part of the pack, namely a box part made of cardboard or a mug made of paper , is arranged and wherein the cigarette block surrounded by the inner wrapper protrudes with an upper portion from the open top outer part of the pack.

Zigaretten-Packungen sind üblicherweise so aufgebaut, daß der Packungsinhalt, nämlich eine Zigarettengruppe von einer Innenumhüllung vollständig umgeben ist. Diese besteht bisher überwiegend aus einem Staniolzuschnitt. Neuerdings werden aus ökologischen Gründen zunehmend Innenumhüllungen aus Papier eingesetzt. Der Zuschnitt für die Innenumhüllung ist dabei auf der Außenseite mit einer Bedruckung versehen. Dabei kann es sich um eine ornamentale Verzierung handeln. Es werden aber auch enge, die Fläche vollständig bedeckende bzw. ausfüllende Beschriftungen angebracht. Die Bedruckung ist erforderlich, um das optisch wenig ansprechende Erscheinungsbild von unbedrucktem Papier zu vermeiden.Cigarette packs are usually constructed in such a way that the contents of the pack, namely a group of cigarettes, are completely surrounded by an inner wrapper. So far, this has mainly consisted of a stanol cut. For ecological reasons, paper inner wrappings are increasingly being used. The blank for the inner casing is provided with a print on the outside. It can be an ornamental decoration. However, narrow inscriptions are also applied that completely cover or fill the area. The printing is necessary to avoid the unappealing appearance of unprinted paper.

Der Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, eine Zigaretten-Packung der vorgenannten Art hinsichtlich der Ausgestaltung der Innenumhüllung dahingehend zu verbessern, daß diese noch kostengünstiger hergestellt werden kann.The invention is based on the problem of improving a cigarette pack of the aforementioned type with regard to the design of the inner wrapper in such a way that it can be produced even more cost-effectively.

Zur Lösung dieses Problems ist die erfindungsgemäße Zigaretten-Packung dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß annähernd nur aus dem oben offenen Packungsteil, nämlich dem Schachtelteil oder dem Becher, herausragende, außenseitige Flächenbereiche der Innenumhüllung mit einer die Flächenbereiche vollständig ausfüllenden Bedruckung versehen sind, während die im Packungsteil sitzenden, von dessen Wänden verdeckten Flächenbereiche der Innenumhüllung frei von Bedruckungen sind.To solve this problem, the cigarette pack according to the invention is characterized in that approximately only from the open top part of the pack, namely the box part or the cup, are provided, outside surface areas of the inner wrapping with a printing that completely fills the surface areas, while those sitting in the pack part , from the walls of which the concealed surface areas of the inner covering are free from printing.

Die überwiegenden Bereiche der Innenumhüllung, die sich auch bei offener Zigaretten-Packung innerhalb derselben, also innerhalb der Schachtel oder des Bechers befinden, bleiben frei von Bedruckung. Nach außen hin entsteht gleichwohl der Eindruck, als ob die Innenumhüllung mit einer vollständig bedeckenden bzw. ausfüllenden Bedruckung versehen sei. Durch die Maßnahme ist eine für die Gesamtkosten der Packung beachtliche Einsparung gegeben. Darüber hinaus wird auch ein weiterer ökologischer Vorteil dadurch erreicht, daß das Papier als Innenumhüllung überwiegend frei von Druckfarbe ist.The predominant areas of the inner wrapper, which are inside the same, that is to say inside the box or the cup, even when the cigarette pack is open, remain free of printing. From the outside, however, the impression arises as if the inner covering was provided with a completely covering or filling printing. The measure results in a considerable saving for the total cost of the pack. In addition, a further ecological advantage is achieved in that the paper as the inner wrapping is largely free of printing ink.

Die Erfindung kann insbesondere bei Zigaretten-Packungen des Typs Klappschachtel und des Typs Weichbecher zum Einsatz kommen. Die Innenumhüllung ist dabei im Bereich ausgewählter Flächen mit einer Bedruckung versehen. Je nach Packungstyp einerseits und Faltprinzip der Innenumhüllung andererseits sind randseitige Flächen der Zuschnitte bedruckt. Die Druckflächen sind dabei so ausgewählt, daß sie mit einem ausreichenden Überstand durch Wandungen der Schachtel oder des Bechers überdeckt sind. Bei Klappschachteln (Hinge-Lid-Packungen) deren Innenumhüllung üblicherweise im Bereich der Vorderwand eine durch eine Perforationslinie oder dergleichen begrenzte Abziehlasche aufweist (Flap), erstreckt sich die bedruckte Fläche bis mindestens zur Perforationslinie, am besten geringfügig darüber hinaus. Bei Ingebrauchnahme der Zigaretten-Packung unter Abziehen des Flaps ist dieser mit einer denselben vollständig ausfüllenden bzw. bedeckenden Bedruckung versehen.The invention can be used in particular in the case of cigarette packs of the hinged box type and of the soft cup type. The inner casing is printed in the area of selected areas. Depending on the type of pack, on the one hand, and the folding principle of the inner wrapping, on the other hand, edges of the blanks are printed. The printing areas are selected so that they are covered with sufficient protrusion through the walls of the box or the cup. In the case of hinged boxes (hinge-lid packs) whose inner wrapping usually has a pull tab delimited by a perforation line or the like in the region of the front wall (flap), the printed area extends to at least the perforation line, preferably slightly above it out. When the cigarette pack is put into use by pulling off the flap, it is provided with a print that completely fills or covers it.

Weitere Merkmale der Erfindung beziehen sich auf die Ausgestaltung der Zuschnitte für die Innenumhüllung bzw. auf fortlaufende Materialbahnen aus Papier oder dergleichen zur Herstellung von Zuschnitten für die Innenumhüllungen. Erfindungsgemäß sind je nach Faltprinzip der Innenumhüllung einseitige oder beidseitige Randstreifen mit Druckfeldern versehen, wobei die Druckfelder mit einer dieselben vollständig ausfüllenden bzw. bedeckenden Bedruckung versehen sind. Alternativ können innerhalb der Materialbahnen in Abstand voneinander angebrachte Druckfelder gebildet sein. Innerhalb derselben wird dann der Trennschnitt zur Bildung der Zuschnitte so geführt, daß freiliegende Bereiche der Innenumhüllung eine Bedruckung aufweisen.Further features of the invention relate to the design of the blanks for the inner wrapper or to continuous material webs of paper or the like for the production of blanks for the inner wrappers. According to the folding principle of the inner covering, one-sided or both-sided edge strips are provided with printing fields, the printing fields being provided with printing that completely fills or covers them. Alternatively, pressure fields arranged at a distance from one another can be formed within the material webs. Within the same, the separating cut is then made to form the blanks in such a way that exposed areas of the inner casing have printing.

Klappschachteln bestehen üblicherweise aus dünnem Karton. Ein Schachtelteil 10 dient zur Aufnahme des Packungsinhalts, nämlich einer Zigarettengruppe (nicht gezeigt), die allseitig von einer gefalteten Innenumhüllung 11 aus Papier oder papierähnlichem Werkstoff umgeben ist. An einer Rückwand des Schachtelteils 10 ist ein Deckel 12 angelenkt, nämlich über eine als Scharnier wirkende Faltlinie schwenkbar verbunden. Innerhalb des Schachtelteils 10 sitzt ein Kragen 13, der hier aus einem gesonderten Zuschnitt besteht, ebenfalls aus Karton. Der Kragen 13 erstreckt sich im Bereich einer Schachtelvorderwand 14 mit einer Kragenvorderwand 15. Kragenseitenlappen 16 erstrecken sich im Bereich von Schachtelseitenwänden 17. Der Kragen 13 ragt mit einem Teilbereich oben aus dem Schachtelteil 10 heraus. Dieser freiliegende Teil des Kragens 13 wird in Schließstellung der Klappschachtel von dem Deckel 12 umschlossen.Hinged boxes usually consist of thin cardboard. A box part 10 serves to hold the contents of the pack, namely a group of cigarettes (not shown) which is surrounded on all sides by a folded inner wrapper 11 made of paper or paper-like material. A lid 12 is articulated on a rear wall of the box part 10, namely pivotally connected via a folding line acting as a hinge. Inside the box part 10 is a collar 13, which here consists of a separate blank, also made of cardboard. The collar 13 extends in the area of a box front wall 14 with a collar front wall 15. Collar side tabs 16 extend in the area of box side walls 17. The collar 13 projects with a partial area from the top of the box part 10. This exposed part of the collar 13 is enclosed by the cover 12 in the closed position of the hinged box.

Die Kragenvorderwand 15 weist im freien, aus dem Schachtelteil 10 herausragenden Teil eine Ausnehmung bzw. Vertiefung auf mit einer konturierten Kragenkante 18. Unterhalb dieser Kragenkante 18 erstreckt sich als obere Begrenzung der Schachtelvorderwand 14 eine Oberkante 19. Diese findet im Bereich der Schachtelseitenwände 17 eine Fortsetzung als schräg aufwärtsgerichtete Seitenkante 20.The collar front wall 15 has a recess or recess in the free part protruding from the box part 10 with a contoured collar edge 18. Below this Collar edge 18 extends as an upper boundary of box front wall 14, an upper edge 19. This is continued in the area of box side walls 17 as an obliquely upward side edge 20.

Die Zigarettengruppe als Packungsinhalt ist von einer in besonderer Weise ausgebildeten Innenumhüllung allseitig umgeben. Die so entstehende Einheit als Packungsinhalt ist ein Zigarettenblock 21.The cigarette group as the package contents is surrounded on all sides by a special inner sleeve. The unit thus created as the contents of the pack is a cigarette block 21.

Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 1 bis 3 besteht die Innenumhüllung 11 aus einem Zuschnitt, der ausgebreitet als Teil einer Materialbahn in Fig. 3 gezeigt ist. Der Zuschnitt ist nach dem Prinzip der Seitenfaltung um die Zigarettengruppe herumgelegt. An eine durchgehende, geschlossene Bodenwand 22 schließen Vorderwand 23 und Rückwand 24 an. Beide schmalen, aufrechten Seitenwände bestehen aus einander teilweise überdeckenden Seitenlappen 25, 26. Eine obere Stirnwand 27 wird ebenfalls durch Faltung gebildet, derart, daß innenliegende Ecklappen 28, 29 und trapezförmige Längslappen 30 und 31 gebildet sind.In the exemplary embodiment in FIGS. 1 to 3, the inner covering 11 consists of a blank that is shown spread out as part of a material web in FIG. 3. The blank is folded around the cigarette group according to the principle of side folding. Front wall 23 and rear wall 24 adjoin a continuous, closed bottom wall 22. Both narrow, upright side walls consist of partially overlapping side tabs 25, 26. An upper end wall 27 is also formed by folding such that inside corner tabs 28, 29 and trapezoidal longitudinal tabs 30 and 31 are formed.

Die Vorderwand 23 ist im oberen Bereich mit einer Abziehlasche 32 versehen, einem sogenannten Flap. Dieser ist gemäß Fig. 1 bis 3 durch eine sich über die volle Breite des Zuschnitts (Fig. 3) erstreckende Perforationslinie 33 oder eine andere Schwächungslinie definiert. Bei Ingebrauchnahme der Packung, nämlich beim erstmaligen Öffnen, wird die Abziehlasche 32 abgetrennt durch Erfassen des äußeren Längslappens 31.The front wall 23 is provided in the upper region with a pull tab 32, a so-called flap. 1 to 3, this is defined by a perforation line 33 extending over the full width of the blank (FIG. 3) or another weakening line. When the pack is put into use, namely when it is opened for the first time, the pull tab 32 is separated by grasping the outer longitudinal tab 31.

Der so ausgebildete Zuschnitt für die Innenumhüllung 11 besteht aus Papier. Die Außenseite, also die sichtbare Seite des Zuschnitts, ist mit einer Bedruckung versehen. Diese besteht im vorliegenden Falle aus einer dichten, kleinen Beschriftung. Die Bedruckung hat in erster Linie den Zweck der Verzierung der Innenumhüllung 11.The blank thus formed for the inner wrapper 11 is made of paper. The outside, i.e. the visible side of the blank, is printed. In the present case, this consists of a dense, small lettering. The primary purpose of the printing is to decorate the inner casing 11.

Die Besonderheit besteht darin, daß lediglich Teilflächen des Zuschnitts für die Innenumhüllung 11 mit einer derartigen Bedruckung versehen sind. Bei dem Zuschnitt für die Packung nach Fig. 1 bis 3 sind zwei Druckfelder 34 und 35 vorgesehen. Diese befinden sich an den Enden des langgestreckten Zuschnitts, nämlich im Bereich von Faltlappen der Stirnwand 27, im oberen Bereich der Vorderwand 23 und der Rückwand 24, einschließlich der Seitenlappen 25, 26. Die Druckfelder 34, 35 erstrecken sich hier über die volle Breite des Zuschnitts. Im Bereich der Vorderwand 23 endet das Druckfeld 34 an der Perforationslinie 33 bzw. geringfügig unterhalb derselben. Das Druckfeld 35 am gegenüberliegenden Ende hat eine geringere Abmessung in Längsrichtung des Zuschnitts.The special feature is that only partial areas of the blank for the inner covering 11 are provided with such printing. 1 to 3, two pressure fields 34 and 35 are provided. These are located at the ends of the elongated blank, namely in the area of folding tabs of the front wall 27, in the upper area of the front wall 23 and the rear wall 24, including the side tabs 25, 26. The pressure fields 34, 35 extend here over the full width of the Cutting. In the area of the front wall 23, the pressure field 34 ends at the perforation line 33 or slightly below it. The pressure field 35 at the opposite end has a smaller dimension in the longitudinal direction of the blank.

Die Abmessungen der Druckfelder 34, 35 sind so gewählt, daß bei der fertigen Verpackung gemäß Fig. 1 alle bei geöffnetem Deckel 12 freiliegenden, von außen erkennbaren Flächen der Innenumhüllung 11 bedruckt sind. Aufgrund der zur Rückwand schräg ansteigenden Seitenkanten 20 kann das Druckfeld 35 entsprechend kleiner sein als im Bereich der Vorderwand 23. Allerdings kann alternativ auch hier das Druckfeld 34 unterhalb der Kragenkante 18 enden. Vorteilhafter ist jedoch die dargestellte Ausführung, weil dadurch die Abziehlasche 32 vollständig bedruckt ist.The dimensions of the pressure fields 34, 35 are selected such that, in the finished packaging according to FIG. 1, all of the surfaces of the inner wrapping 11 which are exposed when the lid 12 is open and are visible from the outside are printed. Due to the side edges 20 rising obliquely to the rear wall, the pressure field 35 can be correspondingly smaller than in the region of the front wall 23. However, the pressure field 34 can alternatively also end here below the collar edge 18. However, the embodiment shown is more advantageous because the pull tab 32 is thereby completely printed.

Der so ausgebildete Zuschnitt gemäß Fig. 3 wird bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel von einer Materialbahn abgetrennt, bei der die Zuschnitte mit ihrer Längserstreckung in Längsrichtung der Materialbahn liegen. Die Materialbahn ist mit Druckflächen versehen, die in Längsrichtung der Bahn mit Abstand voneinander angeordnet sind. Die Abmessung einer Druckfläche ergibt sich aus der Summe der Abmessungen der Druckfelder 34 und 35 des Zuschnitts 11. Quergerichtete Trennschnitte zum Abteilen der Zuschnitte 11 sind dabei so positioniert, daß einerseits ein größeres Druckfeld 34 und andererseits ein kleineres Druckfeld 35 der gemeinsamen Druckfläche voneinander getrennt werden entsprechend der Gestaltung des Zuschnitts 11 gemäß Fig. 3. Eine Trennlinie 36 zum Abtrennen der Zuschnitte 11 liegt deshalb bei dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel außermittig im Bereich der addierten, aus den beiden Druckfeldern 34 und 35 bestehenden Druckfläche. Die exakte Positionierung der Trennlinie 36 ist durch eine Druckmarkensteuerung aufgrund einer Druckmarke 37 gewährleistet.3 is separated from a material web in which the blanks lie with their longitudinal extension in the longitudinal direction of the material web. The material web is provided with pressure surfaces which are spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of the web. The dimension of a printing area results from the sum of the dimensions of the printing fields 34 and 35 of the blank 11. Transversal separating cuts for dividing the blanks 11 are positioned such that on the one hand a larger pressure field 34 and on the other hand a smaller pressure field 35 of the common printing area are separated from one another according to the Design of the blank 11 according to FIG. 3. In the exemplary embodiment shown, a dividing line 36 for severing the blanks 11 therefore lies off-center in the area of the added pressure area consisting of the two pressure fields 34 and 35. The exact positioning of the dividing line 36 is ensured by a print mark control based on a print mark 37.

Alternativ kann bei der Ausführungsform des Zuschnitts gemäß Fig. 3 die Materialbahn so ausgebildet sein, daß deren Breite der Länge der Zuschnitte entspricht. Die Zuschnitte 11 sind bei dieser nicht gezeigten Gestaltung mit ihrer Längserstreckung quer zur Materialbahn gerichtet. In diesem Falle ist die Materialbahn zu beiden Seiten mit durchlaufenden Druckstreifen versehen, insbesondere mit unterschiedlicher Breite.Alternatively, in the embodiment of the blank according to FIG. 3, the material web can be designed such that its width corresponds to the length of the blanks. In this design, not shown, the blanks 11 are directed transversely to the material web with their longitudinal extent. In this case, the material web is provided with continuous pressure strips on both sides, in particular with different widths.

Fig. 4 bis 6 zeigen Ausführungsbeispiele einer Klappschachtel, bei der lediglich die Innenumhüllung 11 von dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 1 bis 3 abweicht. Diese ist nämlich hier nach dem Prinzip der Bodenfaltung ausgebildet. Bei dem Zuschnitt gemäß Fig. 6 für die Innenumhüllung 11 sind Vorderwand 23, eine geschlossene Seitenwand 38 und Rückwand 24 nebeneinander angeordnet. Eine zweite Seitenwand der Innenumhüllung 11 wird durch Seitenlappen 39 und 40 gebildet. Diese überdecken einander teilweise (Fig. 5). Eine Stirnwand 27 ist in der bereits beschriebenen Weise ausgebildet.4 to 6 show exemplary embodiments of a hinged box, in which only the inner wrapping 11 differs from the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 3. This is namely based on the principle of bottom folding. 6 for the inner covering 11, the front wall 23, a closed side wall 38 and rear wall 24 are arranged side by side. A second side wall of the inner casing 11 is formed by side tabs 39 and 40. These partially overlap each other (Fig. 5). An end wall 27 is formed in the manner already described.

Der Zuschnitt ist auch mit einer Abziehlasche 41 versehen. Diese ist durch eine winkelförmige Perforationslinie 42 begrenzt, die sich mit einem aufrechten Schenkel etwa in der Mitte der Seitenwand 38 bis zum oberen, freien Rand des Zuschnitts erstreckt. Ein horizontaler Schenkel der Perforationslinie 42 verläuft bis zum Seitenlappen 39 bzw. bis zum freien Rand des Zuschnitts. Eine Bodenwand der Innenumhüllung ist analog zur Stirnwand 27 ausgebildet, also mit in gleicher Weise ausgebildeten Faltlappen.The blank is also provided with a pull tab 41. This is delimited by an angular perforation line 42, which extends with an upright leg approximately in the middle of the side wall 38 to the upper, free edge of the blank. A horizontal leg of the perforation line 42 extends to the side tab 39 or to the free edge of the blank. A bottom wall of the inner casing is designed analogously to the end wall 27, that is to say with folding flaps designed in the same way.

Bei dieser Gestaltung des Zuschnitts für die Innenumhüllung 11 ist ein streifenförmiges Druckfeld 43 an einem oberen Randbereich des Zuschnitts gebildet. Ein Kopfbereich des Zigarettenblocks 21 ist dadurch ringsherum in durchgehender Breite bzw. Höhe bedruckt, nämlich hier bis unmittelbar unterhalb der Perforationslinie 42 bzw. des horizontalen Schenkels derselben.In this configuration of the blank for the inner covering 11, a strip-shaped pressure field 43 is formed on an upper edge region of the blank. A head region of the cigarette block 21 is thereby printed all around in a continuous width or height, namely here up to immediately below the perforation line 42 or the horizontal leg thereof.

Die Breite des Druckfelds 43 ist so bemessen, daß innerhalb der Klappschachtel (Fig. 4) alle bei geöffnetem Deckel 12 sichtbaren Außenflächen der Innenumhüllung 11 bedruckt sind.The width of the printing field 43 is dimensioned such that all of the outer surfaces of the inner wrapping 11 which are visible when the lid 12 is open are printed within the hinged box (FIG. 4).

Eine Materialbahn für die Herstellung der Zuschnitte (Fig. 6) ist hier mit einem am Rand angebrachten, durchgehenden Druckstreifen versehen. Die Anbringung von quergerichteten Trennlinien 44 bedarf hier keiner exakten Steuerung, da der Trennschnitt die wirksame Breite bzw. Höhe des Druckfeldes 43 nicht beeinflussen kann.A material web for the production of the blanks (FIG. 6) is here provided with a continuous pressure strip attached to the edge. The application of transverse dividing lines 44 does not require precise control here, since the dividing cut cannot influence the effective width or height of the pressure field 43.

In Fig. 7 bis 9 ist die Gestaltung einer Weichbecher-Packung gezeigt. Diese besteht aus einem (äußeren) Becher 45, üblicherweise aus Papier. Der Becher 45 ist oben offen. Eine untere Bodenwand ist durch Faltung von Lappen gebildet. Der Zigarettenblock 21 ragt oben geringfügig aus dem Becher 45 heraus. Eine Banderole 46 erstreckt sich üblicherweise über die obere Stirnwand 27 des Zigarettenblocks 21 hinweg.7 to 9 show the design of a soft cup pack. This consists of an (outer) cup 45, usually made of paper. The cup 45 is open at the top. A lower bottom wall is formed by folding rags. The cigarette block 21 protrudes slightly above the cup 45. A band 46 usually extends over the upper end wall 27 of the cigarette block 21.

Der Zuschnitt für die Innenumhüllung 11 dieser Packung ist in ähnlicher Weise ausgebildet wie bei dem vorstehend beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 4 bis 6. Allerdings ist eine geschlossene Vorderwand 23 vorhanden. Hieran schließen ebenfalls geschlossene Seitenwände 47 und 48 an. Eine Rückwand wird in diesem Falle durch zwei einander teilweise überdeckende Rückwandlappen 49 und 50 gebildet. Die Überdeckung liegt etwa im mittleren Bereich der Rückwand.The blank for the inner wrapping 11 of this pack is designed in a similar manner to that in the exemplary embodiment described above according to FIGS. 4 to 6. However, a closed front wall 23 is present. This is also followed by closed side walls 47 and 48. In this case, a rear wall is formed by two partially overlapping rear wall tabs 49 and 50. The overlap lies approximately in the central area of the rear wall.

Eine Abziehlasche ist bei diesem Packungstyp nicht üblich. Vielmehr wird zum Öffnen der Becherpackung ein Bereich der Stirnwand 27 durch Abreißen von Faltlappen geöffnet.A pull tab is not common for this type of pack. Rather, an area of the end wall 27 is opened by tearing folding tabs to open the cup pack.

Der Zuschnitt (Fig. 9) ist an einem Rand mit einem durchgehenden, streifenförmigen Druckfeld 51 versehen. Dieses erstreckt sich über die volle Länge des Zuschnitts bzw. einer Materialbahn für die Fertigung der Zuschnitte. Die Breite bzw. Höhe des Druckfelds 51 ist so gewählt, daß bei der fertigen Packung (Fig. 7) der aus dem Becher 45 herausragende Teil der Innenumhüllung 11 vollständig bedruckt ist. Ein unterer Rand des Druckfeldes 51 erstreckt sich demnach unterhalb eines ringsherumlaufenden Becherrandes 52. Da auch alle Faltlappen der Stirnwand 27 bedruckt sind, entsteht der Eindruck eines insgesamt komplett bedruckten Zuschnitts für die Innenumhüllung, auch beim Öffnen der Packung.The blank (FIG. 9) is provided on one edge with a continuous, strip-shaped pressure field 51. This extends over the full length of the blank or a material web for the manufacture of the blanks. The width or height of the printing field 51 is selected so that in the finished package (FIG. 7) the part of the inner covering 11 protruding from the cup 45 is completely printed. A lower edge of the pressure field 51 therefore extends below a circumferential cup edge 52. Since all the folding tabs on the end wall 27 are also printed, the impression is created of a completely printed blank for the inner wrapping, even when the package is opened.

Zur Steuerung von Trennschnitten entlang von Trennlinien 53 quer zum streifenförmigen Druckfeld 51 bedarf es hier ebenfalls keiner Druckmarken.To control separating cuts along separating lines 53 transversely to the strip-shaped printing field 51, no printing marks are required here either.

Die in der beschriebenen Weise ausgebildeten Packungen können, wie üblich, mit einer Außenumhüllung aus Folie oder Zellglas versehen sein.The packs formed in the manner described can, as usual, be provided with an outer covering made of film or cellular glass.
