Description

La présente invention a pour objet un manchon étirable d'étiquetage et un procédé de fabrication d'un tel manchon..The subject of the present invention is a stretchable labeling sleeve and a method of manufacturing such a sleeve.

De tels manchons, généralement en polyéthylène, sont bien connus et remplacent de plus en plus les étiquettes en papier collées sur les récipients, ou emballages creux tels que bidons, bouteilles extrudées ou soufflées, barquettes et pots thermoformés ou injectés. Ils entourent la périphérie du récipient et, par élasticité s'appliquent intimement contre la paroi externe du récipient. De tels manchons permettent notamment des décors attractifs pour le consommateur.Such sleeves, generally made of polyethylene, are well known and are increasingly replacing the paper labels affixed to the containers, or hollow packages such as cans, extruded or blown bottles, trays and thermoformed or injected jars. They surround the periphery of the container and, by elasticity, are applied intimately against the external wall of the container. Such sleeves allow in particular attractive decorations for the consumer.

Les manchons sont préimprimés et portent en général la marque du fabricant et la désignation du produit contenu à l'intérieur de celui-ci. Dans la plupart des cas, les manchons étirables comportent également des indications légales sur le produit et un mode d'emploi, notamment pour les produits chimiques. La surface apparente qu'elle serve au décor ou à des inscriptions de type utilitaires sera appelée surface d'information.The sleeves are pre-printed and generally bear the manufacturer's mark and the designation of the product contained therein. In most cases, the stretch sleeves also include legal information on the product and instructions for use, especially for chemicals. The apparent surface that it serves for decoration or for utility-type inscriptions will be called the information surface.

On connaît des manchons en polyéthylène étirable opaques, par exemple blancs, sur lesquels l'impression est effectuée en impression externe à lecture directe.Opaque polyethylene sleeves, for example white sleeves, are known on which the printing is carried out by external direct reading printing.

Sont également connus des manchons en polyéthylène transparent sur lesquels l'impression est effectuée, selon une technique dite "polyémail", non pas sur la face externe du manchon mais sur la face interne de celui-ci et en impression inverse. Dans ces conditions, la surface d'information apparaît par transparence à travers le film et elle reste protégée par ce film au cours de la vie du récipient.Sleeves made of transparent polyethylene are also known on which printing is carried out, according to a technique known as "poly-enamel", not on the external face of the sleeve but on the internal face of the latter and in reverse printing. Under these conditions, the information surface appears by transparency through the film and it remains protected by this film during the life of the container.

Mais les prescriptions réglementaires se sont lourdement aggravées et, par ailleurs, la nécessité de porter sur le manchon des inscriptions en plusieurs langues font que, bien souvent, la place manque. Cela conduit les industriels soit à réduire la hauteur des caractères ce qui, pour certaines personnes pose des problèmes de lecture, soit à porter les inscriptions nécessaires sur des notices supplémentaires indépendantes qui peuvent être fixées sur le goulot du récipient au moyen d'un élastique. Cette procédure coûte cher et, par ailleurs, les notices peuvent se perdre puisqu'elles ne forment pas partie intégrante du récipient.However, regulatory requirements have been greatly aggravated and, moreover, the need to wear inscriptions in several languages on the sleeve means that space is often lacking. This leads manufacturers either to reduce the height of the characters which, for some people poses reading problems, or to carry the necessary inscriptions on additional independent notices which can be fixed on the neck of the container by means of an elastic band. This procedure is expensive and, moreover, the records may be lost since they do not form an integral part of the container.

Il a déjà été proposé, dans GB-A- 2 130 169 de former, latéralement à un manchon, par une soudure supplémentaire, une poche pouvant éventuellement être rabattue sur la paroi latérale, mais si la surface pouvant être imprimée est ainsi augmentée au prix d'une soudure supplémentaire, l'une des faces, interne ou externe de la poche ne peut être lue. La formation d'un manchon avec une poche nécessite quatre soudures ce qui nuit à sa résistance.It has already been proposed, in GB-A-2 130 169 to form, laterally to a sleeve, by an additional weld, a pocket which can possibly be folded down on the side wall, but if the surface which can be printed is thus increased at the cost an additional weld, one of the faces, internal or external of the pocket cannot be read. The formation of a sleeve with a pocket requires four welds which affects its strength.

La présente invention a pour but de pallier cet inconvénient et de permettre l'impression d'informations ou de décors sur une surface plus importante que la seule surface latérale du récipient, restant solidaire de celui-ci.The present invention aims to overcome this drawback and to allow the printing of information or decorations on a larger surface than the single side surface of the container, remaining integral with it.

Selon la présente invention, le manchon d'étiquetage en matériau synthétique étirable pour un récipient, réalisé par soudure longitudinale d'une feuille, sur elle-même sur une longueur sensiblement égale au périmètre d'un récipient à étiqueter, les manchons étant obtenus, après soudure, par une découpe transversale à la feuille, est caractérisé en ce que la largeur de la feuille est supérieure au périmètre du récipient à étiqueter de manière à former, après séparation du manchon de la feuille, un volet rabattable constituant un support d'information dont le bord libre est revêtu d'un cordon d'adhésif .According to the present invention, the labeling sleeve of stretchable synthetic material for a container, produced by longitudinal welding of a sheet, on itself over a length substantially equal to the perimeter of a container to be labeled, the sleeves being obtained, after welding, by a cut transverse to the sheet, is characterized in that the width of the sheet is greater than the perimeter of the container to be labeled so as to form, after separation of the sleeve from the sheet, a folding flap constituting a support information whose free edge is coated with a bead of adhesive.

On augmente ainsi la surface disponible pour l'impression. Le manchon ne présente qu'une seule soudure et est livré en bobines prédécoupées, la hauteur du manchon étant dans le sens de la bobine. La soudure peut être qu'un bidon ce qui permet de disposer de quatre faces informatives non interrompues par ladite soudure.This increases the area available for printing. The sleeve has only one weld and is delivered in pre-cut coils, the height of the sleeve being in the direction of the coil. The solder can be that a can which allows to have four informative faces not interrupted by said welding.

De préférence, I'adhésif est permanent sur une face et semi permanent sur l'autre ce qui autorise un repositionnement du volet après lecture.Preferably, the adhesive is permanent on one side and semi-permanent on the other, which allows the flap to be repositioned after reading.

Ce volet, peut avoir, par exemple une longueur inférieure ou égale à la moitié du périmètre du récipient. Mais sa longueur peut atteindre la longueur du périmètre en cas de besoin. Lors de l'usage normal, il est fixé par l'un de ses bords sur la surface externe du manchon par un cordon ou bande adhésive. de sorte que le volet puisse s'ouvrir pour la lecture et se refermer ensuite . Lorsque la longueur du volet est égale à la moitié du périmètre du récipient à étiqueter, la surface disponible pour l'information est doublée.This component, may have, for example a length less than or equal to half the perimeter of the container. But its length can reach the length of the perimeter if necessary. During normal use, it is fixed by one of its edges to the external surface of the sleeve by a bead or adhesive tape. so that the flap can open for reading and then close. When the length of the flap is equal to half the perimeter of the container to be labeled, the area available for information is doubled.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront au cours de la description qui va suivre , d'un mode particuliers de réalisation donné à titre d'exemple non limitatif, en regard des figures qui représentent :

  • la figure 1, un manchon selon l'invention;
  • les figures 2 à 4, des schémas des différentes étapes d'impression;
  • les figures 5 et 6 des vues d'un récipient équipé d'un manchon selon l'invention.
Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear during the description which follows, of a particular embodiment given by way of nonlimiting example, with reference to the figures which represent:
  • Figure 1, a sleeve according to the invention;
  • Figures 2 to 4, diagrams of the different printing steps;
  • Figures 5 and 6 views of a container equipped with a sleeve according to the invention.

La description qui va suivre sera donnée en prenant comme exemple un manchon en polyéthylène transparent. Sur la figure 1 le manchon d'étiquetage est réalisé par impression d'une feuille thermoplastique, par exemple en polyéthylène étirable, comprend une partie 1 fermée par une soudure 3 de sorte que son périmètre soit inférieur de quelques pour cents au périmètre du récipient à étiqueter et une partie 2 constituant le volet dépliable. La feuille et, bien entendu, chacune des parties 1 et 2 comporte deux faces, respectivement A et B. Dans le cas de la partie 1 entourant le récipient, la face A est la face extérieure et la face B la face intérieure. Le volet 2 porte sur sa face B, au voisinage de son bord externe une ligne adhésive 4 constituée par un adhésif report ou un "hot melt" qui assure une liaison amovible entre ledit bord et une partie de la face A du manchon 1 proprement dit .The following description will be given, taking as an example a transparent polyethylene sleeve. In FIG. 1, the labeling sleeve is produced by printing a thermoplastic sheet, for example of stretchable polyethylene, comprises a part 1 closed by a weld 3 so that its perimeter is a few percent less than the perimeter of the container. label and a part 2 constituting the foldable flap. The sheet and, of course, each of parts 1 and 2 has two faces, respectively A and B. In the case of part 1 surrounding the container, side A is the outer side and side B the inner side. The flap 2 carries on its face B, near its outer edge an adhesive line 4 consisting of an adhesive transfer or a "hot melt" which provides a removable connection between said edge and part of the face A of the sleeve 1 proper.

Conformément à l'invention, seule une face, la face B, de la feuille de polyéthylène est imprimée. Comme cela apparaît sur la figure 2, la feuille imprimée en inverse sur la face B est lue en direct à travers la face A. Une première impression donne le résultat apparent sur la figure 2. C'est à dire que la feuille a subi une première impression sur la face B.According to the invention, only one side, side B, of the polyethylene sheet is printed. As shown in FIG. 2, the sheet printed in reverse on side B is read directly through side A. A first impression gives the apparent result in FIG. 2. That is to say that the sheet has undergone first impression on side B.

L'opération ultérieure consiste à appliquer sur la face B correspondant au volet 2 une couche d'opacification 7 qui permet d'isoler l'impression du volet précédemment réalisée. Comme cela apparaît sur la figure 3, la plage opacifiée reçoit une nouvelle impression 8 sur la couche d'opacification en direct. Le volet peut ainsi, bien qu'imprimé sur une seule face peut être lu recto-verso, ce qui double la surface utile de celui-ci.The subsequent operation consists in applying to the face B corresponding to the shutter 2 an opacification layer 7 which makes it possible to isolate the impression of the shutter previously produced. As shown in FIG. 3, the opacified area receives a new impression 8 on the live opacification layer. The shutter can thus, although printed on only one side can be read double-sided, which doubles the useful surface thereof.

L'impression de l'ensemble manchon1-volet 2 se fait toujours sur la seule face B pour être lu par transparence. La couche d'opacification, par exemple argentée ou dorée permet l'impression d'une ou plusieurs supplémentaires ce qui rend possible un décor positif du verso dudit volet.The printing of the sleeve 1-flap 2 assembly is always done on the only side B to be read by transparency. The opacification layer, for example silver or gold allows the printing of one or more additional which makes possible a positive decoration of the back of said flap.

Les figures 5 et 6 montrent un manchon selon l'invention posé sur un récipient qui, dans l'exemple représenté est un bidon. Sur la figure 4, le volet adhère au manchon 1 alors que sur la figure 5, il en est détaché tout en restant solidaire par la soudure 3. Lorsque le volet est déplié, il dégage la partie 1a initialement recouverte du manchon 1 ce qui donne accès aux informations imprimées dans cette zone du manchon. L'espace utile d'impression a ainsi été multiplié par deux c'est à dire qu'elle comprend : la face 1a du manchon et la surface totale du manchon., bien que ledit volet soit en polyéthylène transparent.. Ce résultat s'entend lorsque la longueur du manchon est égale à la moitié du périmètre. du récipient. Mais d'autres longueurs de volet peuvent, bien entendu être adoptées.Figures 5 and 6 show a sleeve according to the invention placed on a container which, in the example shown is a container. In FIG. 4, the flap adheres to the sleeve 1 whereas in FIG. 5, it is detached therefrom while remaining integral by the weld 3. When the flap is unfolded, it releases the part 1a initially covered with the sleeve 1 which gives access to the information printed in this area of the sleeve. The useful printing space has thus been multiplied by two, that is to say that it includes: the face 1a of the sleeve and the total surface of the sleeve., Although said flap is made of transparent polyethylene. This result is means when the length of the sleeve is equal to half the perimeter. of the container. However, other flap lengths can, of course, be adopted.

Par exemple, la face B du manchon 1 est imprimée en quadrichromie: rouge, jaune, bleu + noir et blanc avec une couleur d'accompagnement, en inverse pour être lue en direct par transparence. La face B du volet 2 est imprimée dans un premier temps comme la face R du manchon 1 puis est recouverte par une couche d'opacification (argent ou or), un blanc et un noir. Il est également possible d'imprimer sur la couche d'opacification 8 en noir sur fond argent, une couleur supplémentaire se trouvant ainsi disponible.For example, side B of the sleeve 1 is printed in four colors: red, yellow, blue + black and white with a spot color, in reverse to be read live by transparency. The side B of the shutter 2 is firstly printed like the side R of the sleeve 1 and then is covered by a layer of opacification (silver or gold), a white and a black. It is also possible to print on the opacification layer 8 in black on a silver background, an additional color thus being available.

Cette opération d'impression est effectuée en une seule ou plusieurs passes sur les machines modernes de sorte que le coût marginal de réalisation d'un tel volet se réduit à celui de la matière employée ( feuille plastique plus large, adhésif, encre etc..).This printing operation is carried out in one or more passes on modern machines so that the marginal cost of producing such a shutter is reduced to that of the material used (larger plastic sheet, adhesive, ink, etc.). ).

Le procédé de fabrication d'un manchon selon l'invention est le suivant :

  • Impression à plat d'une feuille de polyéthylène;
  • Pliage de la feuille autour d'une ligne située au tiers de sa largeur;
  • Soudure 3 d'un bord de la feuille sur celle-ci pour constituer le manchon 1;
  • Pose d'un adhésif 4:
  • Pliage du volet 2 sur le manchon 1;
  • Prédécoupe transversale 5 et bobinage.
The process for manufacturing a sleeve according to the invention is as follows:
  • Flat printing of a polyethylene sheet;
  • Folding the sheet around a line located at a third of its width;
  • Welding 3 of an edge of the sheet thereon to form the sleeve 1;
  • Installation of an adhesive 4:
  • Folding of the flap 2 on the sleeve 1;
  • 5 transverse precut and winding.

Les manchons sont livrés, à l'utilisateur en rouleaux., le volet 2 étant rabattu sur le manchon 1 et les manchons étant séparés par des prédécoupes 5. Ils sont détachés et posés successivement sur les récipients.The sleeves are delivered to the user in rolls, the flap 2 being folded over the sleeve 1 and the sleeves being separated by precuts 5. They are detached and placed successively on the containers.

Un volet tel que celui qui vient d'être décrit permet d'établir des systèmes de repérage ou de promotion pouvant suivre la durée de vie du produit. A cet effet, outre la prédécoupe transversale 5 ( Fig.2) le volet 2 peut être prédécoupé en direction longitudinale selon la ligne 6, au ras de la soudure, pour permettre l'arrachage du volet. Outre le cordon adhésif 4, le volet peut recevoir des adhésifs sur sa face B de manière à permettre l'usage dudit volet comme une étiquette auto-adhésive ou non.A component such as the one just described makes it possible to establish tracking or promotion systems that can track the life of the product. To this end, in addition to the transverse precut 5 (Fig.2) the flap 2 can be precut in the longitudinal direction along the line 6, flush with the weld, to allow the flap to be torn off. In addition to the adhesive bead 4, the flap can receive adhesives on its side B so as to allow the use of said flap as a self-adhesive label or not.

Dans ces conditions, le volet peut constituer une étiquette d'identification de vidange pour les produits pétroliers permettant de dater et d'enregistrer les kilométrages de véhicule. Pour les produits laitiers, il est ainsi possible d'organiser des concours ou promotions par retour du volet chez le fabricant.Under these conditions, the flap may constitute a drain identification label for petroleum products making it possible to date and record the vehicle mileage. For dairy products, it is thus possible to organize contests or promotions by returning the component to the manufacturer.

Bien que la description qui vient d'être donnée se rapporte au cas de feuilles de polyéthylène transparent, la présente invention peut, bien entendu être mise en oeuvre avec du polyéthylène opaque, seule une face du volet étant imprimée, la surface utile n'étant accrue, dans ce cas que de 50% de la surface latérale du récipientAlthough the description which has just been given relates to the case of transparent polyethylene sheets, the present invention can, of course, be implemented with opaque polyethylene, only one side of the flap being printed, the useful surface not being increased, in this case only 50% of the lateral surface of the container
