Abstract

Folded paper tissues are generally packed in thin foil or film. The pack is provided with a tear-open aid having a tear-open flap (27) limited by perforation lines and an adhesive tape (33) partially covering the tear-open flap. For reasons of better handling and economical production of the pack, the tear-open flap (27) is connected to form a unit with part of the end wall (14), namely with an outer longitudinal flap (25) of the same or an adjoining flap (42) or extension (43) formed by the end wall, which can be moved with the aid of the adhesive tape into opening and closing position. In connection with the folding of the end wall (14), the design of the tear-open aid creates an advantageous extraction opening (37) by means of the given width of an inner longitudinal flap (26).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine quaderförmige Verpackung aus dünnem Verpackungsmaterial, insbesondere aus einer Kunststoff-Folie, für insbesondere Stapel von gefalteten Papier-Taschentüchern, mit einer Vorderwand, einer Rückwand, Seitenwänden, Stirnwand und Bodenwand, wobei im Bereich einer zur Vorderwand quergerichteten Packungswand, insbesondere im Bereich der Stirnwand, ein Längslappen angeordnet ist, und im Bereich der rechteckigen Vorderwand eine Öffnungshilfe mit einer Aufreißlasche und einem diese teilweise überdeckenden Klebestreifen oder Klebeetikett zum Öffnen und Wiederverschließen der Aufreißlasche vorgesehen ist, und wobei die Aufreißlasche unter Bildung einer Verlängerung mit dem Längslappen verbunden ist.The invention relates to a cuboid packaging made from thin packaging material, in particular from a plastic film, for in particular stacks of folded paper handkerchiefs, with a front wall, a rear wall, side walls, end wall and bottom wall, in the region of a packing wall which is transverse to the front wall, in particular in the Area of the front wall, a longitudinal tab is arranged, and in the area of the rectangular front wall an opening aid with a tear tab and a partially covering adhesive strip or adhesive label for opening and reclosing the tear tab is provided, and wherein the tear tab is connected to the longitudinal tab to form an extension .

Papier-Taschentücher werden üblicherweise in quaderförmigen Verpackungen aus sehr dünnen Kunststoff-Folien angeboten. Eine derartige Verpackung enthält normalerweise zehn gefaltete Papier-Taschentücher.Paper handkerchiefs are usually offered in cuboid packaging made from very thin plastic films. Such packaging typically contains ten folded paper handkerchiefs.

Seit einiger Zeit sind die Folien-Verpackungen mit Aufreißhilfen ausgestattet, und zwar überwiegend in wiederverschließbarer Ausführung. Bei einer besonders verbreiteten Folien-Verpackung dieser Art ist im Bereich einer "großflächigen" Vorderwand der Verpackung eine durch Perforationslinien begrenzte Aufreißlasche angeordnet. Diese erstreckt sich in Richtung zu einer (oberen, kleinflächigen) Stirnwand. Ein Endbereich der zungenförmigen Aufreißlasche ist mit einem Klebestreifen versehen, der mit einem klebefreien Griffende von der Vorderwand abgezogen werden kann unter Mitnahme der Aufreißlasche. Dadurch wird eine (obere) Entnahmeöffnung für die Taschentücher frei. Eine derartige Verpackung zeigt beispielsweise die DE-U-7 934 619.For some time now, the film packaging has been equipped with tear-open aids, mostly in a resealable version. In the case of a particularly widespread film packaging of this type, a tear-open tab delimited by perforation lines is arranged in the region of a “large” front wall of the packaging. This extends in the direction of an (upper, small-area) end wall. One end area of the tongue-shaped tear-open tab is provided with an adhesive strip which can be pulled off the front wall with an adhesive-free handle end while taking the tear-open tab with it. This frees up an (upper) removal opening for the handkerchiefs. Such packaging is shown for example in DE-U-7 934 619.

Es sind auch andere Ausführungsformen derartiger Folien-Verpackungen bekannt, z.B. mit einer einen Klebestreifen aufweisenden, wiederverschließbaren Aufreißhilfe im Bereich einer der langgestreckten Seitenwände der Verpackung.Other embodiments of such foil packaging are also known, e.g. with a reclosable tear-off aid having an adhesive strip in the area of one of the elongated side walls of the packaging.

Die Erfindung befaßt sich mit derartigen quaderförmigen (Folien-)Verpackungen für insbesondere Papier-Taschentücher. Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine mit verschließbarer Aufreißhilfe ausgerüstete Verpackung so auszubilden, daß einerseits eine kostengünstige großtechnische Fertigung möglich und andererseits eine optimale Handhabung durch den Verbraucher gewährleistet ist.The invention is concerned with such cuboid (foil) packaging, in particular for paper handkerchiefs. The object of the invention is to design a packaging equipped with a closable tear-open aid in such a way that, on the one hand, inexpensive, large-scale production is possible and, on the other hand, optimal handling by the consumer is ensured.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist die erfindungsgemäße Verpackung dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß der Klebestreifen zum Öffnen und Wiederverschließen der Verpackung mit der Verlängerung (Längslappen) einerseits und mit der Rückwand der Packung andererseits verbunden ist, derart, daß beim Öffnen der Packung zuerst die Verlängerung, nämlich der äußere Längslappen bzw. ein Teil desselben, und sodann die Aufreißlasche im Bereich der Vorderwand in Öffnungsstellung bewegbar ist.To solve this problem, the packaging according to the invention is characterized in that the adhesive strip for opening and reclosing the packaging is connected to the extension (longitudinal tab) on the one hand and to the rear wall of the package on the other hand, such that when the package is opened first the extension, namely the outer longitudinal tabs or a part of the same, and then the tear tab is movable in the open position in the region of the front wall.

Die Verlängerung der Aufreißlasche ist der Faltlappen innerhalb der benachbarten, anschließenden Wandung der Packungen. Beim Öffnen derselben wird demnach zuerst über den Klebestreifen der Faltlappen aus der Schließ- bzw. Wandungsebene herausbewegt. Anschließend wird die den Aufreißlappen begrenzende Perforation durchtrennt. Es ist nunmehr zur Bildung einer Entnahmeöffnung eine aus der Aufreißlasche und dem anschließenden Faltlappen bestehende Einheit bewegbar. Dadurch ergibt sich eine Entnahmeöffnung, die sich innerhalb der die Aufreißlasche aufnehmenden Wandung und innerhalb der angrenzenden, quergerichteten Wandung erstreckt.The extension of the tear tab is the folding flap within the adjacent, subsequent wall of the packs. When opening the same, the folding flap is first removed from the adhesive strip Closing or wall level moved out. The perforation delimiting the tear flap is then severed. A unit consisting of the tear-open tab and the subsequent folding tab can now be moved to form a removal opening. This results in a removal opening which extends within the wall receiving the tear tab and within the adjacent, transverse wall.

Beim bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung befindet sich die Aufreißlasche in einer großflächigen Vorderwand der quaderförmigen Verpackung, in einem einer kleinflächigen Stirnwand zugekehrten Bereich. Die an die Aufreißlasche anschließende Verlängerung ist ein außenliegender Faltlappen der Stirnwand oder ein Teil derselben. Der Klebestreifen ist mit einem Teilbereich mit dem Faltlappen verbunden, im übrigen mit einer Teilfläche der Stirnwand und der angrenzenden Rückwand. Die Packung wird demnach durch Abziehen des Klebestreifens von der Rückwand über die Stirnwand, durch Anheben des äußeren Faltlappens und schließlich durch Betätigen der Aufreißlasche geöffnet und in umgekehrter Weise wieder verschlossen.In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the tear tab is located in a large front wall of the cuboid packaging, in a region facing a small front wall. The extension adjoining the tear-open tab is an outer folding flap of the end wall or part of the same. The adhesive strip is connected to a partial area with the folding tab, otherwise to a partial area of the front wall and the adjacent rear wall. The package is accordingly opened by pulling the adhesive strip from the rear wall over the front wall, by lifting the outer folding flap and finally by pressing the tear-open flap and closing it again in the reverse manner.

Es ist weiterhin vorteilhaft, den Zuschnitt zur Bildung der Verpackung so zu falten, daß im Bereich der Stirnwand zuerst Seitenlappen in Verlängerung der Seitenwände gegen den Packungsinhalt und sodann trapezförmig gestaltete Längslappen mit teilweiser gegenseitiger Überlappung gefaltet sind. Der äußere, trapezförmige Längslappen schließt dabei an die Aufreißlasche der Vorderwand an und ist mit dem Klebestreifen verbunden. Des weiteren sind erfindungsgemäß die Seitenlappen durch eine Perforationslinie von dem äußeren Längslappen abtrennbar beim Öffnungsvorgang.It is also advantageous to fold the blank to form the packaging in such a way that first side flaps are folded in the region of the front wall in extension of the side walls against the contents of the package and then trapezoidal shaped longitudinal flaps with partial mutual overlap. The outer, trapezoidal, longitudinal flap adjoins the tear-open tab on the front wall and is connected to the adhesive strip. Furthermore, according to the invention, the side tabs can be separated from the outer longitudinal tab by a line of perforations during the opening process.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist eine Ausführung der Verpackung, bei der die Aufreißlasche bzw. deren Verlängerung innerhalb des trapezförmigen Längslappens der Stirnwandung bis zum freien Rand des Längslappens geführt ist mit einer Breite, die etwas geringer ist als die des Längslappens 25. Durch entsprechende, insbesondere divergierende Perforationslinien (Seitenperforationen) kann eine vom freien Rand des Längslappens bis in die Vorderwand der Verpackung durchgehende Aufreißlasche mit entsprechender Entnahmeöffnung gebildet werden.An embodiment of the packaging is particularly advantageous in which the tear-open tab or its extension is guided within the trapezoidal longitudinal tab of the end wall to the free edge of the longitudinal tab with a Width which is somewhat less than that of the longitudinal tab 25. A tear-open tab with a corresponding removal opening, which extends from the free edge of the longitudinal tab to the front wall of the packaging, can be formed by means of corresponding, in particular divergent, perforation lines (side perforations).

Dabei werden zunächst in Verlängerung der Seitenwände 12 und 13 sich erstreckende Seitenlappen 21 und 22 in die Ebene der Stirnwand 14 bzw. Bodenwand 15 gefaltet. Es entstehen dadurch dreieckförmige Zwickel 23, 24 an der Innenseite von Längslappen 25 und 26. Diese sind aufgrund der Faltgeometrie trapezförmig ausgebildet. Zuerst wird der mit der Rückwand 11 verbundene, innere Längslappen 26 umgefaltet unter Mitnahme der zugeordneten Zwickel 24. Sodann wird der äußere Längslappen 25 mit den Zwickeln 23 in die Ebene der Stirnwand 14 und Bodenwand 15 gefaltet. Die Längslappen 25, 26 überdecken einander großflächig, wie aus Fig. 1 ersichtlich.Cutting areas protruding below and above form folding tabs for the end wall 14 and the bottom wall 15. First, in the extension of the side walls 12 and 13, extending side tabs 21 and 22 are folded into the plane of the end wall 14 and bottom wall 15. This creates triangular gussets 23, 24 on the inside of longitudinal tabs 25 and 26. These are trapezoidal in shape due to the folding geometry. First, the inner longitudinal tab 26 connected to the rear wall 11 is folded over with the associated gusset 24. Then the outer longitudinal tab 25 with the gusset 23 is folded into the plane of the end wall 14 and bottom wall 15. The longitudinal tabs 25, 26 overlap one another over a large area, as in FIG. 1 evident.

Die Verpackung ist mit einer Aufreißhilfe ausgerüstet. Zu diesem Zweck ist im Bereich der Vorderwand 10 eine Aufreißlasche 27 gebildet. Diese schließt unmittelbar an die Stirnwand 14 an bzw. an eine zwischen Vorderwand 10 und Stirnwand 14 gebildete Vorderkante 28. Die Aufreißlasche 27 ist seitlich durch Perforationen, nämlich durch Laschenperforationen 29, 30 begrenzt. Diese erstrecken sich bei dem vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel an den Rändern der Vorderwand 10, nämlich im Bereich von aufrechten Längskanten 31, 32 der Verpackung. Die Laschenperforationen 29, 30 sind in ihrer Länge begrenzt, so daß eine Aufreißlasche 27 von verhältnismäßig geringer Höhe von z. B. 1 cm oder mehr entsteht.The packaging is equipped with a tear-open aid. For this purpose, a tear tab 27 is formed in the region of the front wall 10. This connects directly to the end wall 14 or to a front edge 28 formed between the front wall 10 and the end wall 14. The tear-open tab 27 is laterally delimited by perforations, namely by tab perforations 29, 30. In the present exemplary embodiment, these extend at the edges of the front wall 10, namely in the region of upright longitudinal edges 31, 32 of the packaging. The tab perforations 29, 30 are limited in length, so that a tear tab 27 of relatively low height, for. B. 1 cm or more.

Die Aufreißlasche 27 ist über die Vorderkante 28 hinaus als Verlängerung mit einem Teil der Stirnwand 14 verbunden, nämlich mit dem außenliegenden Längslappen 25. Dieser wird demnach zusammen mit der Aufreißlasche 27 aus der Schließstellung sowie in diese bewegt.The tear tab 27 is connected beyond the front edge 28 as an extension to part of the end wall 14, namely to the outer longitudinal tab 25. This is therefore moved together with the tear tab 27 out of the closed position and into it.

Zu der Aufreißhilfe gehört ein Klebestreifen 33, der hier als rechteckiger Streifenabschnitt ausgebildet ist, aber auch andere geometrische Formen aufweisen kann. Der Klebestreifen ist einseitig mit einem (Dauer-)Kleber beschichtet und durch diesen mit der Verpackung verbunden.The tear-off aid includes an adhesive strip 33, which is designed here as a rectangular strip section, but can also have other geometric shapes. The adhesive strip is coated on one side with a (permanent) adhesive and connects it to the packaging.

Der Klebestreifen 33 ist an besonderer Stelle bzw. in besonderer Relativstellung an der Verpackung angebracht. Am freien Ende des Klebestreifens 33 befindet sich eine klebstofffreie Grifflasche 34 zur Betätigung des Klebestreifens 33. Ein Schenkel 35 desselben - mit der Grifflasche 34 - ist mit der Rückwand 11 verbunden. Ein weiterer Schenkel 36 erstreckt sich im Bereich der Stirnwand 14, derart, daß ein überwiegender Bereich dieses Schenkels 36 des Klebestreifens 33 mit dem Längslappen 25 verbunden ist.The adhesive strip 33 is attached to the packaging at a special location or in a special relative position. At the free end of the adhesive strip 33 there is an adhesive-free grip tab 34 for actuating the adhesive strip 33. One leg 35 of the same - with the grip tab 34 - is connected to the rear wall 11. Another leg 36 extends in the region of the end wall 14 in such a way that a predominant region of this leg 36 of the adhesive strip 33 is connected to the longitudinal tab 25.

Beim Öffnen der Verpackung wird die Grifflasche 34 erfaßt und der Schenkel 35 sodann von der Rückwand 11 abgezogen. Im weiteren Verlauf der Betätigung des Klebestreifens 33 wird Längslappen 25 angehoben aus der Position in der Ebene der Stirnwand 14. Danach wird die Aufreißlasche 27 aus der Vorderwand 10 gelöst durch Zerstören der Perforationslinien (Laschenperforationen 29, 30). In einer abwärtsgerichteten Position der Aufreißlasche 27 (mit Längslappen 25 und Klebestreifen 33) wird im Bereich der Vorderwand 10 eine Entnahmeöffnung 37 freigelegt, die sich hier über die volle Breite der Vorderwand 10 erstreckt und auch einen randseitigen Teil der Stirnwand 14 einschließt. Eine leichte zwängungsfreie Entnahme der Papier-Taschentücher ist so möglich.When the package is opened, the grip tab 34 is grasped and the leg 35 is then pulled off the rear wall 11. In the further course of the actuation of the adhesive strip 33, the longitudinal tab 25 is raised from the position in the plane of the end wall 14. The tear-open tab 27 is then released from the front wall 10 by destroying the perforation lines (tab perforations 29, 30). In a downward-facing position of the tear-open tab 27 (with longitudinal tabs 25 and adhesive strips 33), a removal opening 37 is uncovered in the region of the front wall 10, which here extends over the full width of the front wall 10 and also includes a part of the front wall 14 on the edge. This makes it easy to remove the paper handkerchiefs without constraint.

Durch Zurückschwenken der Aufreißlasche 27 und des Längslappens 25 in die Ausgangsstellung sowie durch Ankleben des Klebestreifens 33 (Schenkel 35) an die Rückwand 11 wird die Verpackung wieder verschlossen.The packaging is closed again by pivoting the tear-open tab 27 and the longitudinal tab 25 back into the starting position and by gluing the adhesive strip 33 (leg 35) to the rear wall 11.

Der geschilderte Öffnungsvorgang wird dadurch ermöglicht, daß mit dem Längslappen 25 die diesem zugeordneten Zwickel 23 aus der Ebene der Stirnwand 14 mit herausgelöst werden können. Zu diesem Zweck sind in Fortsetzung der Laschenperforationen 29, 30 Perforationslinien 38, 39 im Bereich einer Faltkante zwischen den Seitenlappen 21 und 22 einerseits und den Zwickeln 23 andererseits vorgesehen. Diese Perforationslinien 38, 39 erstrecken sich nach Faltung der Stirnwand 14 in der Vorderkante 28 bzw. parallel zu dieser. Beim Öffnen der Verpackung durch Anheben des Längslappens 25 werden die Perforationslinien 38, 39 durchtrennt, so daß die Zwickel 23 von den Seitenlappen 21, 22 abgetrennt und zusammen mit dem Längslappen 25 angehoben werden (Fig. 2).The described opening process is made possible by the fact that with the longitudinal tab 25 the gussets 23 associated therewith can also be removed from the plane of the end wall 14. For this purpose, perforation lines 38, 39 are provided in the region of a folded edge between the side tabs 21 and 22 on the one hand and the gussets 23 on the other hand, in continuation of the tab perforations 29, 30. These perforation lines 38, 39 extend after folding the end wall 14 in the front edge 28 or parallel to it. When the package is opened by lifting the longitudinal tab 25, the perforation lines 38, 39 are severed so that the gusset 23 is separated from the side tabs 21, 22 and raised together with the longitudinal tab 25 (FIG. 2).

Die die Stirnwand 14 bildenden Faltlappen sind zweckmäßig durch Kleben oder Siegeln teilweise miteinander verbunden. Der innenliegende Längslappen 26 kann durch Siegeln im Bereich der Zwickel 24 mit diesen sowie mit den Seitenlappen 21 und 22 verbunden sein. Weiterhin ist es vorteilhaft, wenn der äußere Längslappen 25 so mit einem oder mehreren der weiteren Faltlappen verbunden ist, daß die Verbindung beim Öffnen der Verpackung beseitigt bzw. zerstört wird. Bei dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel ist der Längslappen 25 durch eine punktförmige Verbindung, nämlich durch eine Punktsiegelung 40 mit dem inneren Längslappen 26 verbunden. Diese Punktsiegelung 40 wird beim Öffnen der Verpakkung, nämlich beim Anheben des Längslappens 25 aufgerissen, so daß der Längslappen 25 freikommt. Zusätzlich können die Zwickel 23 mit dem Längslappen 25 durch Siegeln verbunden sein.The folding tabs forming the end wall 14 are expediently partially connected to one another by gluing or sealing. The inner longitudinal tab 26 can be sealed in the area the gusset 24 may be connected to these and to the side tabs 21 and 22. It is also advantageous if the outer longitudinal tab 25 is connected to one or more of the further folding tabs in such a way that the connection is removed or destroyed when the packaging is opened. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the longitudinal tab 25 is connected to the inner longitudinal tab 26 by a punctiform connection, namely by a point seal 40. This point seal 40 is torn open when the package is opened, namely when the longitudinal tab 25 is raised, so that the longitudinal tab 25 is released. In addition, the gusset 23 can be connected to the longitudinal tab 25 by sealing.

In Fig. 4, Fig. 5 und Fig. 6 sind Einzelheiten einer Verpackung dargestellt, die überwiegend der Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 1 bis 3 entspricht. Eine Abweichung besteht in der Gestaltung der Aufreißhilfe. Im Bereich der Stirnwand 14 ist als Fortsetzung der Aufreißlasche 27 eine ebenfalls durch eine Perforationslinie 41 begrenzte Anschlußlasche 42 gebildet. Diese ist im mittleren Bereich durch den Klebestreifen 33 überdeckt bzw. durch den der Stirnwand 14 zugeordneten Schenkel 36 desselben. Beim Abziehen des Klebestreifens 33 wird zuerst die Anschlußlasche 42 aus der Verbindung mit der Stirnwand 14 herausgerissen durch Beseitigung der Perforationslinie 41. Danach wird in der beschriebenen Weise die Aufreißlasche 42 im Bereich der Vorderwand 10 abgezogen.4, 5 and 6 show details of a packaging which corresponds predominantly to the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 3. There is a difference in the design of the tear-open aid. In the area of the end wall 14, as a continuation of the tear-open tab 27, a connecting tab 42, likewise delimited by a perforation line 41, is formed. This is covered in the central area by the adhesive strip 33 or by the leg 36 associated with the end wall 14 thereof. When the adhesive strip 33 is pulled off, the connecting tab 42 is first torn out of the connection with the end wall 14 by removing the perforation line 41. Then the tear-open tab 42 is pulled off in the region of the front wall 10 in the manner described.

Die durch eine bogenförmige Perforationslinie 41 begrenzte Anschlußlasche 42 ist bei dem hier gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel Teil des äußeren Längslappens 25. Dieser kann zur Verbesserung der Stabilität mit außerhalb der Anschlußlasche 42 liegenden Flächenbereichen durch Siegeln oder dergleichen mit dem inneren Längslappen 26 (fest) verbunden sein.The connecting lug 42 delimited by an arcuate perforation line 41 is part of the outer longitudinal tab 25 in the exemplary embodiment shown here. To improve stability, this can be connected (firmly) to the inner longitudinal tab 26 by sealing or the like with surface areas lying outside the connecting tab 42.

Eine Weiterentwicklung des vorstehenden Ausführungsbeispiels ist in Fig. 7 bis 9 gezeigt. Die auch hier in der Vorderwand 10 gebildete Aufreißlasche findet eine Fortsetzung bzw. Verlängerung 43 als Teil des Längslappens 25 der angrenzenden Stirnwand 14. Die Verlängerung 43 erstreckt sich bis zu einem freien Rand 44 des trapezförmigen Längslappens. Die Verlängerung 43 hat eine deutlich geringere Breite als die Länge des Längslappens 25, so daß Seitenstege 45 des Längslappens 25 beim Öffnen der Verpakkung in der Ebene der Stirnwand 14 zurückgehalten werden, und zwar durch dauerhafte Verbindung (thermische Siegelung, Klebung) mit den darunterliegenden Faltlappen der Stirnwand 14, nämlich Längslappen 26 und Seitenlappen 21, 22.A further development of the above exemplary embodiment is shown in FIGS. 7 to 9. The tear-open tab also formed here in the front wall 10 is continued or extended 43 as part of the longitudinal tab 25 of the adjacent end wall 14. The extension 43 extends up to a free edge 44 of the trapezoidal longitudinal tab. The extension 43 has a significantly smaller width than the length of the longitudinal tab 25, so that side webs 45 of the longitudinal tab 25 are retained when the packaging is opened in the plane of the end wall 14, namely by permanent connection (thermal sealing, adhesive bonding) with the folding tabs underneath the end wall 14, namely longitudinal tabs 26 and side tabs 21, 22.

Die Verlängerung 43 der Aufreißlasche 27 ist im Bereich des Längslappens 25 durch Seitenperforationen 46, 47 begrenzt, die vom freien Rand 44 ausgehend divergierend verlaufen bis zur Vorderkante 28. Hier gehen die Seitenperforationen 46, 47 in die Laschenperforationen 29, 30 zur seitlichen Begrenzung der Aufreißlasche 27 im Bereich der Vorderwand 10 über.The extension 43 of the tear-open tab 27 is delimited in the region of the longitudinal tab 25 by side perforations 46, 47 which, starting from the free edge 44, diverge to the front edge 28. Here, the side perforations 46, 47 go into the tab perforations 29, 30 to limit the tear-open tab on the side 27 in the area of the front wall 10.

Bei dem gezeigten, bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel sind die Seitenperforationen 46, 47 im Bereich des Längslappens 25 eine geradlinige Fortsetzung der hier ebenfalls in Richtung zur Vorderkante 28 konvergierenden Laschenperforationen 29, 30. Diese bilden demnach zusammen mit den Seitenperforationen 46, 47 jeweils eine geradlinige, durchgehende Perforation (Fig. 9). Im Bereich der Vorderwand 10 enden diese Laschenperforationen 29, 30 an den Längskanten 31, 32, so daß in diesem Bereich - mit Abstand von der Vorderkante 28 - die Entnahmeöffnung sich über die volle Breite der Vorderwand 10 erstreckt. Hingegen bleiben in einem zur Vorderkante 28 benachbarten seitlichen Bereich auch bei geöffneter Verpackung Eckzwickel 48, die der Verpackung eine erhöhte Stabilität geben.In the preferred exemplary embodiment shown, the side perforations 46, 47 in the region of the longitudinal tab 25 are a straight-line continuation of the tab perforations 29, 30, which likewise converge here in the direction of the front edge 28. Accordingly, these each form a straight, continuous perforation together with the side perforations 46, 47 (Fig. 9). In the area of the front wall 10, these tab perforations 29, 30 end at the longitudinal edges 31, 32, so that in this area - at a distance from the front edge 28 - the removal opening extends over the full width of the front wall 10. In contrast, corner gussets 48 remain in a lateral area adjacent to the front edge 28, even when the packaging is open, which give the packaging increased stability.

Der mittlere Bereich des Längslappens 25, nämlich in der Breite der Verlängerung 43, ist zweckmäßigerweise an der Unterseite mit einer Beschichtung 49 versehen, die eine feste Versiegelung des Längslappens 25 bzw. der Verlängerung 43 mit darunterliegenden Faltlappen vermeidet. Es kann sich dabei um eine Lackbeschichtung, eine Bedruckung oder dergleichen handeln.The middle region of the longitudinal flap 25, namely in the width of the extension 43, is expediently provided on the underside with a coating 49 which prevents the longitudinal flap 25 or the extension 43 from being firmly sealed with folding flaps below it. It can be a lacquer coating, printing or the like.

Die bei allen Ausführungsformen freigelegte Entnahmeöffnung 37 gewährleistet einen leichten Zugang zum Packungsinhalt bzw. zu dem jeweils vornliegenden Papier-Taschentuch 17 auch deshalb, weil die Längslappen 25, 26 eine geringere Breite haben als die Stirnwand 14. Dadurch ist der innere Längslappen 26 bei geöffneter Verpackung gegenüber der Vorderkante 28 derselben zurückgesetzt und vergrößert hier die Entnahmeöffnung 37.The removal opening 37 exposed in all of the embodiments ensures easy access to the contents of the package or to the paper handkerchief 17 lying ahead in each case also because the longitudinal tabs 25, 26 have a smaller width than the end wall 14. This makes the inner longitudinal tab 26 open when the packaging is open set back relative to the front edge 28 thereof and enlarges the removal opening 37 here.
