Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to a printed substrate which can be used in product packaging to provide a remanent value and to a packaged product using the printed substrate.
  • a packaged product comprising: at least one product arranged to form a structure to be packaged; a channel shaped receptacle for receiving and supporting the structure to be packaged; the channel shaped receptacle having a bottom wall on which the structure sits, with two side edges and two end edges defining a width and length of the bottom wall generally matching a width and length of the structure; the channel shaped receptacle having two upstanding side walls each connected along a respective side edge of the bottom wall so as to stand upwardly therefrom to a height to provide protection for sides of the structure; and an over-wrap material covering the channel shaped receptacle and the structure thereon; the channel shaped receptacle comprising: a first substrate sheet having a front surface and a rear surface; a second substrate sheet having a front surface and a rear surface; the rear surface of at least one of the first and second substrate sheets having printed thereon indicia providing a remanent value therefor; the first and second substrate sheets being coextensive
  • the side walls of the channel shaped receptacle may be of a height which matches the height of the structure to provide protection for the sides of the structure, but a lower height may in some cases be acceptable for some products.
  • the side walls and the bottom wall also preferably have some stiffness which acts to maintain the channel shape but the amount of stiffness is open to adjustment or selection by varying the thickness and material of the substrate sheets, as will be well known by one skilled in this art.
  • Such packaging structures are commonly used with a thin flexible over-wrap material so that the majority of the stiffness is provided by the channel shaped receptacle but again this can vary depending upon the type of product to be packaged and other factors well know to a person skilled in this art.
  • perforations described herein can be provided either through the first substrate sheet alone or through both substrate sheets provided that the sheets can be separated as required herein.
  • the term "perforations' is not intended to require complete perforation through the structure but is a common term of art to define a line of weakness which allows tearing at the line so formed.
  • the two substrate sheets can be "opened" by complete separation of one from the other or by providing an opening which is sufficient in size to allow the user or player to access the indicia printed on the inside or rear surface of one or both substrate sheets. It is a highly desirable feature that two side portions of the perforated tear line are arranged respectively along the side edges of the bottom wall. This allows the formation of the remanent portion of the packaging which is defined solely by the flat center portion of the substrate sheets with the folded or bent side portions fully torn away. It will be appreciated that this provides the most aesthetic construction for the user so that the remanent substrate whether that be a game or other collectible is flat. However this is not an essential requirement and the fold lines may not be located directly at the tear lines. Minimizing the width of the side portion torn away of course maximizes the width of the remanent center portion and thus the area available for the indicia, and in some cases this requirement may over-rule the desirability for a flat substrate piece.
  • the advantageous flat center piece can be formed with no fold or bend lines on the piece.
  • the perforated tear line includes at least one transverse perforated portion which allows the separation to be effected by the user at a predetermined transverse line.
  • this again is not essential and separation may be effected by tearing of the substrate or by separating adhesive joining the adhesive.
  • the transverse perforated portion of the perforated tear line or line of weakness is provided through both substrate sheets sufficiently such that an end piece of the channel shaped receptacle, formed by both substrate sheets and including the joining adhesive, can be torn away to leave the center portion of first substrate sheet and the second substrate sheet separated along said transverse perforated portion.
  • a tear line through only one of the substrate sheets can be used with the user lifting that substrate sheet and tearing it away from the other.
  • the perforated tear line extends only part way around the periphery of the portion of the first substrate sheet leaving a part of the periphery of the portion of the first substrate sheet which is free from the tear line, at which the portion of the first substrate sheet remains attached to the second substrate sheet.
  • the two portions of the substrate sheets, while separated to expose the indicia on the inside surfaces, are still connected.
  • the part of the periphery which is not perforated for tearing is arranged at one end of the channel shaped receptacle. However it is not essential that the non-perforated part be located at one end and it can be located at other positions for example along one side.
  • the indicia can comprise related indicia printed on both the rear surfaces of the first and second substrate sheets. This is particularly of value where the indicia comprise game indicia covered by a scratch-off layer where the indicia printed on both the rear surfaces of the first and second substrate sheets relate to a common game. However separate games or separate indicia unconnected between the two pieces can be used if preferred.
  • promotional graphics are printed on the front surface of one or both of the first and second substrate sheets. If printing on one surface contacting the product is an issue for hygiene, the printing may be provided only on that substrate, either the first or the second, which is located on the outer surface of the channel shaped receptacle. Of course the printing on the rear or inside surfaces of the substrates has no hygiene issues provided the substrates are selected for food grade materials if required.
  • game information relating to rules and the like for playing of the game are preferably printed on the front or outer surface of one or both of the first and second substrate sheets, thus maximizing the area on the inside or rear surfaces for actual game indicia.
  • the indicia printed on the rear surface may comprise game indicia printed by variable image printing, some or all of the game indicia being covered by a layer of scratch-off material removable by a player.
  • the game indicia may be provided on only one or both of the substrate sheets. Where the indicia is on only one, the other may be blank if not required or may contain other indicia unrelated to the game, for example a collectible card or the like.
  • the perforation tear line is arranged to separate the first and second substrate sheets each from the other to form two separate sheet portions.
  • the perforation tear line generally will include, in this arrangement, both side portions along the sides of the remanent pieces and two transverse portions one across each end.
  • Such separate pieces can be used either as separate game cards or as other collectible cards either including valuable remanent data or containing collectible information such as sports cards or the like.
  • the perforation tear line is preferably arranged to form two sheet portions of identical size by tearing off side and end pieces.
  • the sheet portions may be defined by the whole length of the channel shaped receptacle or in other cases, for example where the product is inconveniently long, the sheet portions may be sub-divided into more than one piece preferably by transverse perforation lines.
  • each of the two sheet portions of identical size will have collectible data of remanent value printed on at least the rear surface thereof.
  • the type of remanent indicia can vary widely and includes data of intrinsic value to the user, promotional cards, product coupons, collectible cards such as sports cards and any others which can be created by the imagination of those in the promotional industry.
  • the game may be for prizes both monetary and product related or may be merely for entertainment where no gambling or prize is involved.
  • the type and value of any prizes can vary widely.
  • the games may be pre-determined, otherwise known as "instant win” tickets or may include elements of skill or chance.
  • the games may include a scratch-off-coating which is convenient and effective particularly for instant win type game tickets, but other types of games which do not include scratch-off may be used.
  • a packaging material for forming a channel shaped receptacle for receiving and supporting a structure to be packaged by an over-wrap material covering the channel shaped receptacle and the structure thereon, where the channel shaped receptacle has a bottom wall on which the structure sits, with two side edges and two end edges defining a width and length of the bottom wall generally matching a width and length of the structure and two upstanding side walls each connected along a respective side edge of the bottom wall so as to stand upwardly therefrom to a height to provide protection for sides of the structure; the packaging material comprising: a first substrate sheet having a front surface and a rear surface; a second substrate sheet having a front surface and a rear surface; the first and second substrate sheets being coextensive, with the rear surface of the first substrate sheet being connected to the rear surface of the second substrate sheet to form a common assembly for forming the channel shaped receptacle; the first and second substrate sheets defining a center portion
  • the substrate sheets are formed in a continuous strip defining a continuous row of individual packaging elements each arranged to form an individual channel shaped receptacle having a length matching that of the structure to be packaged, wherein each individual packaging element is separated from the next by a transverse strip of adhesive which connects the first substrate sheet to the second substrate sheet.
  • a continuous strip is conveniently rolled for unrolling at a packaging machine.
  • the strip may be fan folded.
  • the elements may be supplied individually in a stack each for use with a separate packaged product.
  • some or all of the required perforations may be applied in the strip prior to supply.
  • packaging machines include perforating rollers which form the junction line between the side walls and the bottom wall of the channel shaped receptacle. Where this is the case, these side portions of the perforations may be applied on line with any prior perforations in the strip being limited to one or two transverse perforations lines as required.

  • the wrapped product comprises a product 10 which is shown as an elongate rectangular body but can be of any shape and may include a series of separate elements.
  • the product is contained within a channel shaped receptacle 11 having a bottom wall 12 underlying the product 10 and having two upstanding side walls 13 and 14 each standing up along a respective side of the product 10.
  • the width and length of the bottom wall 12 is matched approximately or generally to the width and length of the product.
  • the upstanding side walls 13 and 14 are of a height so that they provide some protection for the sides of the product.
  • the height as shown is approximately equal to the height of the product but it is not necessary that the height match the height of the product since the existence of the side walls and the stiffness provided by the channel shaped receptacle 11 due to the bends between the side walls and the bottom wall provide protection for the product as is well known.
  • the product carried within the channel shaped receptacle is wrapped by a thin overwrap material 15 which surrounds the complete product and the receptacle and forms a thin seal 16 along the bottom surface underneath the bottom wall 12.
  • Packaged products of this type are well known and this type of packaging is used for many different types of products. Commonly it can be seen in the packaging of candy bars where a single candy bar sits in the channel shaped receptacle and is enclosed by the overwrap material. Sometimes the channel shaped receptacle receives two candy bars end to end or in other cases more than two can be elements are arranged in a row along the channel shaped receptacle and held together by the overwrap material.
  • the channel shaped receptacle is formed of card manufactured to food grade so that an inside surface of the card contacts the bottom and sides of the product directly with the overwrap material providing the necessary hygienic sealed enclosure.
  • the channel shaped receptacle is replaced by a modified construction which provides printed cards or printed tickets forming remanent value for the packaging element when it is removed from the package.
  • the packaging element shown in these figures is formed from a first substrate 20 and a second substrate 21.
  • the substrates shown with the first uppermost it will be appreciated that in many cases the product can be inverted since it is in many cases symmetrical.
  • one of the substrates may form a smooth flat unprinted surface 22 which can be used to contact the food product in cases where printing layers or other layers applied on to the substrate would be undesirable for such food products.
  • FIGs 3, 4 and 5 is shown a single packaging element which has been cut to form the element for use in the packaging process.

  • the substrates provide an inside or rear surface 29 of the substrate 20 and 30 of the substrate 21. The surfaces 29 and 30 are fully enclosed by the strips of adhesive so that they are not accessible at this time to a person accessing the packaging element.
  • the packaging element further includes perforated lines of weakness 32 and 33 arranged along the length of the packaging element parallel to the side edges 24 and 25. Further the packaging element includes a transverse line of weakness 34 adjacent to or at the strip of adhesive 23D adjacent the edge 27. It will be noted that the line of weakness is positioned slightly beyond the band of adhesive so that the laminate at the position beyond the line of weakness is entirely free from the adhesive and can be separated at that location. It will be noted that there is no perforated line of weakness at the adhesive band 23 adjacent the edge 26 corresponding to the line 34.
  • the lines of weakness 32, 33 are provided through both of the substrates 20 and 21 so that both can be readily torn along that line of weakness.
  • only the upper one 20 of the substrates is perforated at the line of weakness thus allowing the upper substrate to be torn while the lower substrate remains intact.

  • the reason for dividing the center pieces 42A and 42B from the sheets 20 and 21 into separate cards 42C, 42D, 42E and 42F is that the length of the packaging element may be inconvenient or unsuitable to match the conventional length of a collectible card so that additional separation may be desirable. However this is of course not necessary and the complete center portion may be formed as the collectible item regardless of its shape. In this embodiment it is highly desirable that the' side pieces 40 and 41 be fully torn away so that the completed card is formed only from the center section and thus is entirely flat for collection as a set of flat collectible cards.

Abstract

L'invention porte sur un matériau d'emballage en rouleau continu permettant de former un réceptacle en forme de canal pouvant par exemple renfermer un produit alimentaire emballé dans un matériau enveloppant. Le matériau d'emballage est fait de deux feuilles substrats reliées ensemble par leur bords et formant un laminé présentant deux bandes latérales et une partie centrale. La largeur de la partie centrale constitue la paroi inférieure et la largeur de chacune des deux bandes latérales constitue une paroi latérale verticale. La partie centrale peut être séparée et exposée en déchirant les parties latérales et d'extrémité ce qui laisse apparaître la partie centrale de la surface intérieure qui porte des motifs imprimés à valeur rémanente, par exemple du type billet de loterie à gratter ou carte d'accumulation de points.
