Definitions

  • the present invention relates to blister packages having a three-dimensional backer with printing on the backer.
  • blister packages are known in the prior art for holding and displaying articles of merchandise, such as toothbrushes or razors.
  • These blister packages are typically thermoformed plastic and include a backer or base member and a front panel closure member coupled to each other by a seal or weld. While the front panel is typically molded into a three-dimensional shape resembling the contours of the article held within, the backer is formed in either two dimensions or shaped into three dimensions. See, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,276,529 and 6,409,019, and United States Published Application U.S.2001/0032796 A1.
  • blister packages often include printing for informational or advertising purposes.
  • the printing is found on flat two-dimensional sections of the package where they are easily readable due to their appearance on the flat surface. See, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 6,571,953 and U.S. Application Publication U.S.2007/0051652 A1.
  • U.S. Application Publication U.S.2009/0090643 A1 discloses a blister package for display of a toothbrush.
  • the plastic blister package includes first and second plastic films 16 , 20 that are pre-printed in a flat status before deep-drawing, with the printed area being later situated in a three-dimensionally molded portion of the blister package.
  • the pre-printing is contoured or distorted prior to the molding to acquire the correct appearance after the deep-drawing process.
  • a blister package for housing an article or merchandise, e.g. a toothbrush.
  • the package comprising a front panel, a backer molded from a planar film to define a outline portion having a longitudinal axis and a printing applied to the planar film.
  • the printing is applied to the planar plastic film having an appearance substantially free of distortion on the planar film.
  • the outline portion is linear along the longitudinal axis.
  • the front panel and backer are secured to each other to define a region for holding the article.
  • the printing is legible on the backer irrespective of the distortion caused in molding the backer from the planar film.
  • the method for making a blister package for housing an article comprises providing a front panel; applying a printing to a planar film, the printing having an appearance free of distortion on the planar film; thermoforming the planar film into a backer to define a outline portion having a longitudinal axis with the outline portion linear along the longitudinal axis, the printing molded with the second planar film and maintaining a legible appearance regardless of distortion caused by the molding; placing the article into one of the front panel or the backer; and sealing the front panel and the backer together with the article in between the front panel and the backer.
  • the outline portion is cone shaped.
  • the first three-dimensional thermoformed structure protrudes from the planar rim a first distance
  • the second three-dimensional structure protrudes form the planar flange a second distance less than the first distance
  • the outline portion ahs a convex curve cross-section.
  • FIG. 1 is a top plan view of an exemplary embodiment of a blister package constructed in accordance with the invention and housing an article of merchandise;
  • FIG. 2 is a side elevation view of the package shown in FIG. 1 ;
  • FIG. 3 is a bottom plan view of the package shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 ;
  • FIG. 4 is an enlarged sectional view taken along line IV-IV of FIG. 1 ;
  • FIG. 5 is a bottom view of an exemplary planar film prior to being thermoformed into a cylindrical outline portion
  • FIG. 6 is a bottom view of a cylindrical outline portion thermoformed from the planar film shown in FIG. 5 ;
  • FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the package shown in FIGS. 1-3 housing the exemplary article of merchandise.
  • the exemplary aspects of the invention include a blister package and method for manufacturing the blister package including an upper wall member (e.g., front panel), a lower wall member (e.g., backer) and a printing (e.g., print, decoration, advertising), where the upper wall member is formed to effectively hold an article (e.g., toothbrush, razor) preferably by accommodating specific geometry of the article.
  • the lower wall member is preferably formed (e.g., molded, thermoformed) after printing from a flat sheet of material (e.g., plastic) to resemble a cylindrical or cone based final shape linearly along or parallel to the lower wall member's longitudinal axis.
  • the printing is applied to the flat sheet of material without distortion and appears on the final shaped lower wall member without the appearance of distortion.
  • This combination of the upper and lower wall members are secured together preferably by a three-dimensional seal or weld curve generally practiced as a two-dimensional seal or weld.
  • the embodiments improve the quality of the printing placed on the lower wall member or backer and give the backer a three-dimensional shape from non-distorted printing placed on the flat sheet in comparison to the known flat planar appearance.
  • An advantage of the cylindrical/cone shaped backer is that the backer is not distorted to the same extent as the upper wall member. This provides the benefit that the printing need not be pre-distorted prior to final assembly of the blister package as known in the art at least in part due to the longitudinal linear shape of the assembled lower section. This benefit allows for better graphics/printed designs and flexibility.
  • a further benefit of the three-dimensional backer is created by forming see-through windows on the backer that provide visual access to the back or side of the article (e.g., toothbrush heads) or other features of the article that traditionally are blocked from view.
  • FIG. 1 an exemplary embodiment of a blister package constructed in accordance with the invention.
  • the package 10 is arranged to hold an article of merchandise.
  • the item of merchandise is a toothbrush 12 ( FIG. 7 ), but could be any product.
  • the particular embodiment of the package 10 shown in FIG. 1 is a blister-type package.
  • the package basically comprises a pair of wall members, herein referred to as a front panel 14 and a backer 16 .
  • the wall members are fixedly secured to each other to form an article receiving pocket 18 ( FIG. 4 ) therebetween.
  • the blister package 10 also includes a printing 20 ( FIGS. 2 , 3 , 5 , 6 ) on the backer 16 .
  • the wall members are formed of any suitable material, e.g., a plastic or polymeric material, such as, but not limited to, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), etc., or any other material known for use in blister or clam-shell packaging.
  • a plastic or polymeric material such as, but not limited to, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), etc., or any other material known for use in blister or clam-shell packaging.
  • PVC polyvinyl chloride
  • PET polyethylene terephthalate
  • the material making up the wall members may comprise a combination of materials, including transparent, partially transparent, semi-transparent, opaque and and/or non-transparent materials and may be formed in any manner, such as thermoforming, injection or molding.
  • FIGS. 1-3 depict the blister package 10 in a top plane view, a side elevational view, and a bottom plane view, respectively.
  • the front panel is an elongated member having a pair of long side edges 22 and 24 extending with the elongation and a pair of short end edges 26 , 28 extending transversely to the elongation.
  • the front panel 14 includes a first three-dimensional thermoformed structure 30 and a planar rim 32 extending about the periphery of the first three-dimensional thermoformed structure.
  • the first three-dimensional thermoformed structure is molded from a first planar plastic film that forms the first wall member and protrudes from the planar rim 32 a distance D 1 ( FIG.
  • the article receiving portion 34 is a recess for receipt of the article of merchandise, and extends substantially the full length of the front panel 14 , except for a top portion 36 adjacent the short end edge 26 that forms a header of the package 10 .
  • the top portion 36 is shown forming a hook 38 for hanging the package 10 from a display rack.
  • the article receiving portion 34 can be of uniform width and depth along its entire length or can be profiled to the specific profile of the item of merchandise as can be seen in FIG. 7 . In the exemplary embodiment shown, the article receiving portion 34 is profiled to conform to the profile of the toothbrush 12 .
  • the planar rim 32 extends outward about the entire periphery of the first three-dimensional thermoformed structure 30 to form its edges 22 , 24 , 26 , 28 .
  • the planar rim 32 serves as the means for securing the front panel 14 to the backer 16 .
  • the front panel 14 and backer 16 may be secured by a seal or weld as would be readily understood by a skilled artisan.
  • the second wall member which serves at the backer 16 of the package 10 includes a generally cylindrical or cone shaped member as a second three-dimensional thermoformed structure 40 , and a planar flange 42 extending about the periphery of the second three-dimensional thermoformed structure that is of a corresponding size and shape to the planar rim 32 .
  • the second three-dimensional thermoformed structure 40 is molded from a second planar plastic film and protrudes from the planar flange 42 to define a cylindrical outline portion 44 having a longitudinal axis 46 with the cylindrical outline portion linear along the longitudinal axis ( FIG. 2 ).
  • the backer is an elongated member including a pair of long side edges 48 , 50 extending generally parallel to the axis 46 , and a pair of short side edges 52 , 54 extending transverse to the axis 46 .
  • FIG. 2 demonstrates that the longitudinal axis 46 is offset from and not limited to a parallel alignment with the plane of the planar flange 42 .
  • the second three-dimensional thermoformed structure may appear generally cone-shaped as the angle offset of a plane of the planar flange increases from parallel. Any such configuration is considered within the scope of the invention.
  • the backer 16 can be formed of PVC, PET, etc., or any other suitable flexible plastic or polymeric sheet or film material and includes an inner surface 56 and an outer surface 58 ( FIG. 4 ).
  • the inner surface 56 of the backer 16 adjacent its peripheral edges 48 , 50 , 52 , 54 defined by the planar flange 42 is fixedly secured (e.g., adhesively sealed, thermally welded, etc.) to the planar rim 32 of the front panel 14 to define a sealed region 68 .
  • the securement of the front panel 14 and backer 16 together create an enclosed cavity or article receiving pocket 18 ( FIG. 4 ) in which the article of merchandise, for example, the toothbrush 12 , is retained ( FIG. 7 ).
  • the printing may be applied to either the inner surface 56 or the outer surface 58 within the scope of the invention.
  • FIG. 4 depicts the blister package 10 in cross-section showing by example an amount of protrusion caused by the thermoforming of the front panel 14 and the backer 16 .
  • the first three-dimensional thermoformed structure 30 is protruded from the planar rim 32 a distance D 1
  • the second three-dimensional thermoformed structure 40 is shown protruding from the planar flange 42 a second distance D 2 .
  • the distance D 2 is less than the distance D 1 , meaning that the backer 16 is not distorted to the same extent as the front panel.
  • the second three-dimensional thermoformed structure 40 is not rectilinear or planar in cross-section, but rather is curved outward slightly convexly with a radius of curvature RC greater than the distance D 2 that represents the projection distance of the second three-dimensional thermoformed structure from the planar flange 42 . This minimizes any distortion of the second three-dimensional thermoformed structure and negates any distortion longitudinally parallel to the longitudinal axis 46 . While not being limited to a particular theory, the examples illustrated in the figures show the radius of curvature RC at least about twice the distance D 2 to minimize distortion while still providing a curved convex profile.
  • the second three-dimensional thermoformed structure 40 includes a cylindrical outline portion 44 that extends longitudinally along the thermoformed structure 40 preferably including the writings 20 shown by example in FIGS. 2 , 3 , and 6 .
  • the cylindrical outline portion 44 is molded from the second planar plastic film 62 ( FIG. 5 ) into its cylindrical shape as depicted in FIG. 6 .
  • the printing 20 is applied to the second planar plastic film 62 with an appearance free of distortion on the second planar plastic film. In other words, the printing is applied undistorted as if it were intended to be observed on a flat sheet.
  • the cylindrical outline portion 44 still appears generally as depicted.
  • the portion is not deformed along or parallel to the longitudinal axis but is only deformed slightly transversely to the axis. This deformation keeps the cylindrical outline portion without longitudinal deformation, therefore minimizing any deformation of printing on the cylindrical outline portion 44 .
  • this molding of the cylindrical outline portion 44 does not distort the outline portion along linear segments 64 ( FIG. 6 ) that are in parallel with the longitudinal axis 46 .
  • this molding only allows minimal distortion transverse to the longitudinal axis, thereby minimizing any distortion to the cylindrical outline portion or to any writing 20 applied to the cylindrical outline portion 44 .
  • This benefit means that the backer 16 is not distorted to the same extent as distortion of the front panel 14 , and the writing 20 does not appear distorted on the thermoformed cylindrical outline portion 44 . Accordingly, any writing 20 does not need to be pre-distorted prior to molding of the backer or final assembly of the package 10 , which allows for clearer graphic and print designs and greater flexibility in applying the designs knowing that the printing applied to the second planar plastic film will look the same as the design viewed on the final assembled package 10 .
  • the blister package 10 include windows 60 of transparent material with or without printing for viewing the article within.
  • the backer 16 includes a window 60 of transparent material for allowing visual access to the head of the toothbrush 12 .
  • a window 66 of transparent material on the front panel 14 for visual access to the head and bristles of the toothbrush, a person now has a 360° view of the head of the toothbrush.
  • the window 60 and other windows on the backer 16 help consumers see the backs of the toothbrushes or other features that traditionally are blocked from view prior to purchase of the toothbrush.
  • front panel 14 and backer 16 may be secured by a partial seal of the planar rim to the planar flange or by a frictional fit therebetween.
