Definitions

  • the invention relates to the packaging of sheet-like objects such as, for example, film-like or wafer-like pharmaceuticals, which are also referred to as wafers.
  • Film-like or wafer-like drugs for oral administration are known, for example, from published patent application DE 24 32 925 A1 and patent EP 219 762 B1. They differ from conventional solid dosage forms, such as tablets or capsules, particularly in their geometric shape and flexibility. These wafers generally have an area between approximately 2 and approximately 20 cm 2 and are only between 50 and 500 ⁇ m thick. Because of this small thickness, these wafers are generally also very flexible. Many are also mucoadhesive, which leads to the adherence of this dosage form to the palate when taken orally.
  • Such wafers are packaged in plastic containers, as are known, for example, from US design 371, 723. It is also possible to place such wafers in a blister pack (so-called thermoformed packaging). Such are known, for example, from British Laid-Open GB 2,311,760 A. Finally, these wafers can also be packed in a sealing bag consisting of two identical layers. From the point of view of the material required and the simplicity of manufacture, this solution is most advantageous in most cases. A corresponding primary packaging is described in US Pat. No. 3,007,848.
  • a packaging was therefore developed that encloses the wafer between two foils, the top and bottom webs lying one above the other and being connected to one another in such a way that the wafer is adequately protected by a bond between the webs, and on the other hand there are locations at the edges, both of which Lanes are not interconnected.
  • the individual strips can be gripped here to make it easier to open the packaging by tearing it open. This solution is described in German Offenlegungsschrift DE 198 00 692 A1.
  • packaging material webs are usually extremely thin and partly transparent, it can be very cumbersome for older people in particular to grip the top and bottom web individually in order to tear open the primary packaging.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a primary packaging for sheet-like objects, which enables a particularly simple, separate handling of the packaging material upper and lower packaging material and thereby ensures a convenient opening of the primary packaging.
  • the object is achieved by a primary packaging for sheet-like objects, which consists of an upper web and a lower web, the upper web and the lower web of the primary packaging not lying congruently one above the other.
  • the sheet-like object (wafer) is adequately protected, preferably, by combining the webs sealed airtight, on the other hand, the primary packaging has at least on one outer region of a web of the network of webs, where the two packaging material webs are not connected to each other and where the webs are not congruently one above the other. There are areas in which there is only one of these packaging material webs.
  • each individual packaging material web of the composite of webs in the primary packaging can be gripped by one hand on its outer region with the thumb and forefinger.
  • the advantage of the test packaging according to the invention is that the thumb and index finger of one hand, with which the user touches a packaging material web, is not in close proximity to the thumb and index finger of the other hand. Instead, the thumb and index finger of one hand are spatially offset (to the rear and / or to the side) from the thumb and the index finger of the other hand when the primary packaging according to the invention is opened. This leads to a significant reduction in the spatial stress in the outer region of the packaging material webs during the opening of the primary packaging, which ultimately leads to a much more convenient opening of the primary packaging.
  • Sheet-like object (1) in the sense of the present invention is to be understood as a three-dimensional object which has only a very small dimension in one dimension, relative to the other two dimensions.
  • the actual dimensions of this sheet-like object are not particularly important for this invention, however, sheet-like objects are preferred which have a length between approximately 1 and 20 cm, a width between approximately 0.5 and 10 cm and a thickness of approximately 50 ⁇ m to 1 cm.
  • a sheet-like object can be square, rectangular, round or oval, but can also take the form and the dimension of a tablet or capsule customary in the pharmaceutical field.
  • particularly preferred are flat objects whose dimensions are at the lower limit of the dimensions mentioned, because their handling is generally becoming increasingly difficult, so that the advantages of the invention can be used particularly effectively here.
  • Such particularly preferred flat objects have a length between approximately 1 and 3 cm, a width between approximately 0.5 and 2 cm and a thickness of approximately 50 ⁇ m to 500 ⁇ m.
  • sheet-like object is not critical to the invention. They are preferably objects which, for various reasons, have to be packed airtight and / or individually. This can be food, pharmaceuticals, refreshing towels, plastic cards, biologically active material, (adhesive) labels, TTS etc. Dosage forms for oral administration are preferred, which may also contain physiological active ingredients or pharmaceutical active ingredients.
  • the primary packaging comprises an upper packaging material web (3) and a lower packaging material web (2) which have areas (5) which are in intimate contact with one another.
  • the fact that the packaging material bottom web (2) and the packaging material top web (3) are connected to one another results in a composite of the packaging material top web and the packaging material bottom web, which encloses an inner region (4) which is capable of receiving the sheet-like object.
  • the inner area (4) can be airtight ⁇ as long as the area (5) forms a closed line (weld seam).
  • the inner area (4) can but also be open if e.g. B. the area (5) is formed only selectively.
  • the intimate contact in the area (5) is preferably made by heat or cold sealing.
  • the strength of the contact can be adjusted to the requirements of the sheet-like object (1) and the effort required to open it.
  • the strength of this contact is preferably such that this intimate contact is eliminated when a tensile force that can easily be applied by an adult is removed without the individual packaging material webs being destroyed in the process.
  • This property is peelable.
  • the dimensions of the inner area (4) which is capable of receiving at least one sheet-like object (1), are adapted to the size and shape of the sheet-like structure to be packaged and are generally only slightly larger.
  • the packaging material webs have no contact with one another.
  • a surface is created which is adapted to the shape of the sheet-like structure to be packaged, without contact with the packaging material web (3), which in preferred embodiments is square, rectangular, round or oval.
  • the materials of the packaging material webs (2, 3) which can be used in the production of a primary packaging according to the invention are the usual substances known for the production of sealing bags and blister packs. These include, for example, polyethylene (PE), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polypropylene (PP), OPA, polyacrylate (PA), EVOH, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers (EVA), EC, Barex, Surlyn, paper, aluminum and combinations of these substances ,
  • top and bottom webs can also each be used as composite materials made up of two or more layers of the materials mentioned and, if appropriate, more Materials.
  • One or both webs can also be designed as a deep-drawn blister base.
  • the primary packaging according to the invention is characterized in that the packaging material top web (3) and the packaging material bottom web (2) each have at least one outer area which is located on the edge of the area (5) in which the packaging material top web and the packaging material bottom web are in intimate contact with one another.
  • the upper packaging material (3) and the lower packaging material (2) have no contact with one another.
  • they are shaped in such a way that they do not lie congruently one above the other in the primary packaging. This fact makes it possible to grasp the outer area of the lower packaging material (2) with one hand and the outer area of the upper packaging material (3) with the other hand. By using the appropriate pulling force, the packaging can finally be torn open.
  • the primary packaging can be equipped with multiple uses, e.g. B. with 2, 5, 6 or 10 arranged in parallel individual primary packaging, which by predetermined lines (6), z. B. a notched line or perforation are separated.
  • packaging material top web (3) and the packaging material bottom web (2) are colored or printed differently.
  • a primary packaging according to the invention can be produced as follows:
  • Example 1 Production of a primary packaging
  • a web that serves as the “low packaging material ” is provided and optionally provided with a contour. This is preferably done by means of a rotating cutting roller in the outer region of the lower packaging material stamped. Subsequently, individual wafers are placed on the packaging base. In a subsequent step, the packaging material upper web is rolled off a supply roll and guided onto the packaging material lower web provided with the individual wafers. These superimposed webs are fed into a contour press, in which a closed contour is preferably punched. This creates a closed inner area in which the wafer is located. After a protruding edge that may be present has been trimmed off, a perforation may be embossed into the area between two individual primary packagings. Finally, the primary packaging can be separated.
  • Embodiments of the primary packaging according to the invention for sheet-like objects are described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 8.
  • FIG. 1 shows the side view of a primary packaging according to the prior art, in which the upper packaging material (3) and the lower packaging material (2) lie congruently one above the other.
  • Figure 2 shows three different embodiments of the primary packaging according to the invention in supervision, in which the The upper packaging material (3) and the lower packaging material (2) are not congruently one above the other.
  • the outer areas of the packaging material lower web (2) protrude beyond the outer area of the packaging material upper web (3).
  • the lateral outer boundary can be cut straight or or as an arc.
  • Figure 3 shows a primary packaging in five-use embodiment.
  • the non-congruent coverage of the packaging material lower web (2) by the packaging material upper web (3) is due to a wavy cut, which was adjusted in frequency and phase to the width of the individual primary packaging.
  • the individual primary packaging is separated from one another by predetermined breaking lines (6).
  • Figure 4 shows a primary packaging in five-use embodiment.
  • the non-congruent coverage of the lower packaging material (2) by the upper packaging material (3) is due to a wavy cut, which is adjusted in frequency to the width of the individual primary packaging, but is shifted by half a wavelength.
  • Figure 5 shows a primary packaging in five-use embodiment.
  • the non-congruent coverage of the lower packaging material (2) by the upper packaging material (3) is due to a wavy cut, the wavelength of which corresponds to the width of two individual primary packagings.
  • Figure 6 shows a primary packaging in six-use embodiment.
  • the non-congruent coverage of the lower packaging material (2) by the upper packaging material (3) is due to a straight cut that begins at the area of intimate contact between the upper packaging material and the lower packaging material of a first primary packaging and extends to the diagonally opposite end of the outer area.
  • FIG. 7 shows a primary packaging as in FIG. 6, but with only one-sided non-congruent coverage of the packaging material lower web (2) by the packaging material upper web (3).
  • FIG. 8 shows a primary packaging with a one-sided, non-congruent covering of the lower packaging material (2) by the upper packaging material (3).
  • the lateral outer boundary of both tracks corresponds to a wavy cut with the same frequency.
  • the offset by one phase of the packaging material upper web (3) compared to the packaging material lower web (2) causes the non-congruent overlap of the two webs.
