Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method of producing a tubular sachet pack for containing a rectilinear detergent tablet.
  • Tubular sachet packs are well known and widely used to contain a range of consumer products.
  • the packs are quite simple: they generally comprise a sheet material which is wrapped around a product and sealed to form the final packaged product.
  • a tubular sachet pack is made by sealing (e.g. bonding / welding) peripheral regions of a web of film to form a tube with a longitudinal seam.
  • the two ends of the tube are sealed around the product being packaged by transverse seams.
  • the longitudinal seam is brought next to the surface of the packaged product and is normally disposed in the middle of the rear face of the packaging.
  • WO-A-92/16431 discloses a tubular sachet pack, comprising a web of film having a composite structure. The opposite peripheral regions of the film are sealed to form a tube having a longitudinal seam. The tube is sealed about the object to be packaged by two parallel transverse seams. The longitudinal flap seam is disposed along the middle of the pack, flush with the surface.
  • EP-A-0 226 835 describes two kinds of tubular sachet pack sealed by one longitudinal and two transverse seams.
  • the longitudinal seam of the packaging described in this document is also arranged in the middle of the rear of the pack flush with the surface.
  • the packaging can only be opened in a narrow region around the longitudinal seam. This makes it difficult to remove the contents, particularly as the opening is small. Additionally as the printed surfaces of the packaging are torn in the opening process any markings on these parts of the packaging (such as instructions / warnings) are disturbed and are no longer legible.
  • a strip of material (typically a red ribbon) is integrated into the longitudinal seam to assist in the provision of a larger opening.
  • a strip of material typically a red ribbon
  • EP-A-0 024 271 describes a similar tubular sachet pack for tablet-shaped objects, as does EP-A-0 967 159 .
  • the content of the tubular sachet pack comprises a detergent tablet (such as a tablet suitable for use in an automatic washing machine or an automatic laundry machine).
  • a detergent tablet such as a tablet suitable for use in an automatic washing machine or an automatic laundry machine.
  • the hands of the user are typically wet/damp when trying to open the tubular sachet wrap.
  • the wetness/dampness arises either from contact with dishware which has been pre-washed/pre-soaked or simply with the food soil present on the dishware. It has been found that tablets which are wrapped in a tubular sachet wrap having the arrangements described above are extremely difficult to manually open in these circumstances.
  • DE-A-19800509 describes a tubular sachet pack for circular tablets, with a longitudinal seam located on a side of the pack.
  • a method of forming a tubular sachet pack containing a rectilinear detergent tablet comprising a sachet having a transverse flap seam disposed at each end of the pack and a longitudinal flap seam disposed adjacent a border between two sides of the tablet, with each of the two sides being parallel to the longitudinal axis of the tablet, the method comprising:-
  • the longitudinal flap seam is orientated such that it projects away from the tablet.
  • the longitudinal flap seam may be orientated such that it projects away from the tablet simultaneously as it is moved to the side. Indeed this is the most preferred option.
  • the method of the present invention provides a tubular sachet pack containing a rectilinear detergent tablet, the sachet pack comprising a sachet having a transverse flap seam disposed at each end of the pack and a longitudinal flap seam disposed adjacent a border between two sides of the tablet, with each of the two sides being parallel to the longitudinal axis of the tablet.
  • the positioning of the longitudinal flap seam makes it easier to take hold of the tubular sachet pack, particularly when compared with embodiments of wrapped tablets of the prior art in which the longitudinal flap seam sits flat against the pack (fixed in place by the transverse seams).
  • the arrangement of the longitudinal flap means that there is a large surface available for graphical communication. Surprisingly it has been found this increase in the visible surface has been achieved while using the same quantity of wrapping film (as in previous film arrangements). Additionally, as generally the area of the longitudinal seam is undisturbed by opening the pack this area can be used to support any required labelling (such as information/warnings) which is still legible after the pack has been partially/fully opened.
  • the arrangement of the longitudinal seam adjacent the border between two sides of the tablet, especially where in the present invention the tablet is rectilinear, means that the whole longitudinal flap seam can be torn away from the tablet with ease. Unexpectedly it has been found that whole of the longitudinal flap may be torn away from the tablet without the need for any weakness to be introduced at or near the point at which the flap meets the remainder of the package. This has the advantage that a homogeneous packing material may be used without the need for any additional functionalised features.
  • a further advantage of the pack is exhibited when the packaged tablets are handled and stored both in the manufacturing and in a retail/domestic storage.
  • the seam provides a cushion to protect the tablet.
  • the tablet has an additional form of protection. This is especially important in the field of detergent tablets, as the tablets which are commonly compressed particulate material, have a high friability. Thus abrasion, particularly against other tablets, can cause dust formation within the packet and even tablet breakage and is to be avoided.
  • a rigid body accommodating a plurality of tubular sachet packs containing a rectilinear detergent tablet can also be provided, the sachet pack comprising a sachet having a transverse flap seam disposed at each end of the pack and a longitudinal flap seam disposed adjacent a border between two sides of the tablet, with each of the two sides being parallel to the longitudinal axis of the tablet.
  • the flap is disposed along the length of the border between the two sides. It will be appreciated that the flap generally extends beyond the length of the tablet, preferably to meet up with the transverse seams.
  • the flap is disposed adjacent the tablet such that it projects away from the tablet. Usually it projects in an orientation such that it is substantially parallel to one of the sides of the tablet. Preferably the flap is parallel to a side having the largest surface area (of the sides of the tablet).
  • the pack can be provided with a tear-off aid.
  • the tear-off aid is preferably positioned at an outer end of the longitudinal flap seam, most preferably adjacent the border between the sides of the tablet.
  • the process of opening the tubular sachet pack can be further facilitated by applying incisions or perforations in the outer regions of the ends of the longitudinal flap seam sealed off by the transverse seal, although these have been found not to be necessary as with some designs of the prior art (see above).
  • the packaging material is preferably an opaque material, usually coloured.
  • the material typically has printed matter thereupon.
  • the printed matter may comprise details of the brand of origin of the tablet and/or instructions for use.
  • the use of a pack generally comprises removing (where necessary) the tablet from it secondary packaging, opening the tablet and placing the tablet into the automatic washing machine.
  • the arrangement of the longitudinal flap makes removal of the wrapped tablet from its secondary packaging and then removal from the sachet pack an extremely straightforward operation. It is even more surprising that this operation has been found to be so trouble-free when the typically use conditions are considered, namely when a user has damp/soiled hands, which detrimentally affect the purchase of a user's hands on the sachet pack.
  • the tubular sachet pack When opening the tubular sachet pack, it can be held in one hand (without having to hold the longitudinal flap seam at the same time) and the pack may be opener by taking hold of the top end of the longitudinal flap seam with the second hand and tearing the longitudinal flap seam off along the entire longitudinal side.
  • the thus created opening is large, making it easy and convenient to remove the contents.
  • the shape of the opening makes it particularly suitable for packaging rectilinear objects (cubes, tubes, etc.). As the packaged object can be held with one hand this prevents the packaged object from undesirably/prematurely falling.
  • the single hand use also offers the possibility of being able to remove the object from the pack without having to touch it.
  • typical detergent tablets comprise a caustic formulation which should not be brought into contact with user's hands.
  • the ease of removal of the tablet from the sachet pack of the present inventions helps to ensure that contact of the user's hands with the tablet is brought to a minimum.
  • the tablet is not simply a regular cube / elongated cube but has a functional feature on a side thereof.
  • the feature may comprise an indentation or more preferably a projection.
  • a most preferred functional feature is a projection based on a portion of a sphere projecting from a surface of the tablet. (The remainder of the sphere is preferably accommodated in a suitable indentation is the surface of the tablet).
  • a functional feature may further assist in the opening of the sachet pack as it may aid in the provision of greater purchase for the hand of a user when opening the sachet pack.
  • Figs. 1 and 2 show a tubular sachet pack 1.
  • the pack comprises a rectilinear product 2 around which the pack 1 is formed.
  • the pack 1 is also rectilinear in form.
  • the rectilinear form has a height (h), a width (w) and a length (1) wherein h and w are similar in magnitude with 1 being significantly larger.
  • the rectilinear form has a surfaces a,b,c,d,e,f.
  • the pack 1 comprises two terminal flap seams (not shown), one at each end.
  • the flap seams lie in a plain parallel to the longitudinal axis, said plain bisects the product into two equal portions along a plain disposed at around half (h).
  • the pack 1 comprises a longitudinal flap seam 3.
  • the longitudinal flap seam 3 projects from a corner of the rectilinear form and is positioned parallel to the surface d of the pack 1.
  • the longitudinal flap seem has a tear-off aid 4, in the form of a nick of the pack material disposed adjacent the corner between the surfaces a and d of the pack 1.
  • Fig. 3 The embodiment shown in Fig. 3 is identical to that shown in Figs. 1 and 2 , with the exception that the longitudinal flap 2 is positioned parallel to the surface a of the pack 1.
  • the tubular sachet pack 1 may be opened by holding the pack 1, (with the packaged product 2 therein) in the middle with a hand.
  • the top section of the longitudinal flap seam 3 is held with the second hand.
  • the tear-off aid 3 makes it easier to open the tubular sachet pack.
