Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a packaging comprising a flexible film wrapped around the product to be packaged, the longitudinal edges of the film being sealed along a longitudinal sealing seam, the package comprising a cross sealing seam at each end, and at least a transverse weakening line arranged between both ends of the package.
  • the wrapping is formed by a polymer or laminate film having a transverse weakening line.
  • the weakening line is often at the end of the long side of the wrapping. In order to reach the content of the packaging, the film must be torn off along the weakening line.
  • the wrapping film has a slightly microporous transverse area which extends around the sheet.
  • the user grasps the wrapping on each side of the weakening line and draws the film until the tearing of the wrapping film.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a packaging which can be opened more easily.
  • the invention relates to a packaging according to claim 1.
  • the invention has one or more of the features of the dependent claims.
  • Figure 1 shows a packaging 10 for the packaging of a solid elongated product 12 such as a flow wrapper or roll wrap for candy, cereal or chocolate bar. It is for example a stick pack.
  • a packaging is especially suitable for a food product.
  • the packaging 10 is constituted by a generally rectangular flexible film 14 which is wound and sealed around the product.
  • the flexible film 14 is formed of one or more superposed layers, as disclosed in the following.
  • the packaging 10 is a "flowpack" wrapping. If the packaging is longer, it is called a stick pack, or if the packaging is of a distinct rectangular shape it is called brick pack, e.g. for cigarette bundle packs.
  • the film 14 is folded around the product 12 and the longitudinal edges of the film are connected together along a longitudinal sealing seam 16.
  • the film defines a tubular pipe containing the product.
  • a cross sealing seam 18A, 18B is provided at each end of the pipe for closing the packaging.
  • the longitudinal sealing seam 16 extends over a back face 20 of the packaging which is opposite to a flat front face 22 with respect to the packaged product.
  • the longitudinal sealing seam 16 and the cross sealing seams 18A, 18B are obtained by sealing or welding the film 14 as known per se.
  • the sealing as made by ultra sonic waves.
  • the longitudinal and the cross seals are joint together by means of glues, adhesives or hotmelts.
  • the film 14 After heat-sealing, the film 14 defines a closed space 24 in which the product is contained.
  • a transverse weakening line 26 is provided in the film 14 e.g. between or at the ends of the package, preferably in the middle part of the package.
  • the tensile strength of the film 14 along the weakening line 26 is from 1 N/15 mm to 20 N/15 mm and preferably from 1 N/15 mm to 10 N/15 mm and more preferably from 3N/15 mm to 8N/15 mm.
  • the strength for initiating the rupture is low and is advantageously in the range of 1 N to 20 N preferably between 3 and 8N and more preferably around of 5N for a package having a diameter between 3 mm and 150 mm.
  • the weakening line 26 delimits a closed shape surrounding the product 14. It extends advantageously over a length of 10 to 950 mm. The whole of its trace is contained between the cross sealing seams 18A, 18B.
  • the weakening line 26 extends in a transverse plane of the product in the intermediate part of the product which means between the ends of the product.
  • the weakening line 26 delimits a generally peripherical profile.
  • the film 14 has a visible marking identifying the position of the weakening line 26.
  • that marking is constituted by a discontinuous black line printed on the film.
  • the weakening line 26 is produced by treatment of the film constituting the film 14.
  • the treatment is advantageously applied before the wrapping of the film around the product.
  • the weakening line 26 is produced by the application of high-energy radiation, such as a laser, by application of a laser beam along the trace of the weakening line 26, before the film 14 is wrapped. Treatment by high-energy radiation is carried out on one or more layers of the film 14 when the latter comprises more than one layer.
  • high-energy radiation such as a laser
  • the weakening line 26 is formed by a mechanical weakening of the film which extends along the trace of the weakening line 26. That mechanical treatment is carried out on one or more layers of the film when the latter comprises more than one layer.
  • a microporous weakening is provided along a strip of small width in order to form at least part of the weakening line 26.
  • the width is between 2 mm and 10 mm.
  • Such a microporous strip of a film is obtained, for example, by passing the film between two rollers, one of which rollers has been rendered abrasive along the trace of the weakening line.
  • Such a treatment is described, for example, in document FR-2.717.449.
  • the mechanical weakening is formed by cutting the thickness of one or more layers of the film when the latter comprises more than one layer.
  • the cuts are formed by a matrix of cutting elements when the film is being pressed between the matrix and a support, as it is known per se.
  • the weakening line 26 is obtained by a line of micro-perforations which do not pass through the film, the micro-perforations being formed through one or more layers when the film comprises a plurality of layers.
  • the weakening of the film along the weakening line is variable according to the position along the weakening line 26.
  • the weakening is greater in the front face of the package.
  • the longitudinal edges of the film intended to be connected to form the longitudinal sealing seam 16 are stronger and thus the weakening of the line is reduced at the longitudinal edges of the film.
  • the weakening line does not extend to the longitudinal edges and ends in the vincinity of the edges.
  • Such differences in weakening are obtained, for example, by locally combining several weakening treatments on one or more films constituting the film, or by carrying out a more or less deep or more or less dense weakening treatment along the regions of the weakening line 26.
  • Such more or less dense or deep treatment is achieved in a particularly successful manner by subjecting the film to high-energy radiation.
  • the weakening can also be of different shape, like waved or zigzagged pattern, as demonstrated in Fig. 5 and 6.
  • the film 14 is a monolayer and is formed by a base film of polymer or paper. Accordingly, the film 14 is a single-material film.
  • the film of polymer or paper is advantageously coated on its inner surface with a sealing material which is applied, for example, by extrusion, co-extrusion or any other coating which also may be applied during printing of the base film.
  • the base film is preferably formed by a bi-oriented polymer film, which may be co-extruded. It may also be a mono-oriented or a non-oriented film obtained by co-extrusion. That film is formed, for example, of polypropylene (OPP), polyester (PET) or polyamide (OPA).
  • the thickness of the base film is generally from 5 to 100 microns and preferably from 12 microns to 50 microns.
  • the sealing material is chosen in order to permit fused bonding. Typically, the thickness of the sealing material is from 10 to 40 microns, the amount of sealing material like a lacquer deposited being from 1 to 12 g/m 2 .
  • the weakening is formed in the base layer.
  • the film 14 is formed by two laminated layers. Accordingly, the film comprises a base layer formed of polymer or paper which is associated, along its inner face with a sealing layer of polymer, in order to permit fused bonding.
  • the base layer and the sealing layer are bonded with one another by means of lamination with an adhesive or by resin extrusion.
  • the base layer is advantageously formed of a bi-oriented polymer film. However, it may also be a cast film.
  • the polymer forming the base layer is preferably polyester (PET), polyamide (OPA) or polypropylene (OPP), which furthermore can be metalized or ceramic coated.
  • the sealing layer is formed, for example, of polyethylene (PE), which optionally may be blended with other polymers or co-extruded in admixture or non-oriented co-extruded with other polymers, e.g. polyester (PET)/polyethylene (PE), polyamide (OPA)/polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (OPP)/polyethylene (PE).
