Definitions

  • the present invention relates to packages whose physical boundaries have at least two layers.
  • Two layer packages are well known in the art.
  • different layers are used with different functions.
  • Such different layers are mainly used to create barrier properties or to combine different barrier properties of different materials in a package.
  • bottles which have a layer which has a barrier property against water vapor permeability and, for example, a further layer which forms an additional barrier to oxygen.
  • it is essential that the individual layers completely surround the interior of the package. An incompleteness of a layer is equivalent to a leak of the associated barrier property.
  • bottles which try in various ways to reach the consumers' senses. So there are already bottles that carry odor particles on their outer skin, which are activated for example by removing a label or by frictional heat. Also known in the art are packages with imprints that show color gradients over the entire bottle. In packaging that are difficult to print, such color gradients are often produced by an additionally attached, for example, glued label. All these packaging according to the prior art is based on the problem that additional elements must be mounted on or on the packaging in order to produce additional sensory stimuli for the consumer. A variation of the sensory stimuli over the course of the physical boundary of the packaging is not possible, since according to the prior art the layer thicknesses must be constant due to the barrier properties associated with these layers.
  • the object of the present invention is now to solve the problems according to the prior art.
  • the layer thicknesses of the at least two layers of the packaging independently of one another over the course of the physical boundary.
  • Each of these layers has at least one sensory property that distinguishes them from the other layers.
  • the wall as well as bottom and cover elements of a packaging according to the invention may be formed as a physical boundary of constant thickness, but the individual layers that form the physical boundary of the package vary in thickness corresponding to each other. In this way, it is possible to adjust the thickness of the expression of the associated with this layer sensory property on the layer thickness.
  • a high layer thickness implies a high level of odor capability associated therewith. Areas with little or no thickness of this layer have no or only little odor emission.
  • the strength of the expression of the respective sensory properties can also be created by the combination of different layer thickness ratios. Used, for example, as a sensory If the transparency of a layer is selected, the overall transparency of the physical boundary at any point depends on the layer thickness of the corresponding opaque layer. If no opaque layer is present, then perfect transparency can be recognized at this point.
  • the number of layers and the type of sensory property are not limited in the context of the present invention. Thus, it is conceivable to use more than two layers and to assign properties of such layers to their haptics, in particular with regard to their hardness and elasticity, or olfactory or optical properties. Also, the equipment of individual layers with taste properties is quite conceivable.
  • the individual layers which in their entirety constitute the physical boundary of the packaging according to the invention, are firmly connected to one another.
  • This connection can be made automatically by the production process, such as fusing, or actively by gluing the layers together. It is also conceivable that the adhesive itself constitutes a layer in the sense of the present invention.
  • the individual layers can be provided in a simple manner by different raw material granules with the respective desired sensory properties.
  • the thickness of the respective layer can be selected completely freely over the entire physical boundary of the packaging by controlling the process, in particular the rate of discharge of the nozzle of the blowing speed of the temperature distribution, etc.
  • Packaging according to the invention is advantageously produced from plastics.
  • the individual layers which may of course consist of very different materials, may for example at least partially consist of one or more polymers, in particular of polypropylene, polyethylene, TPE or PET.
  • waste which usually has to be disposed of as waste, since it contains the individual layers in different, varying proportions. Regranulation and recycling in the process is impossible due to the targeted control of the sensory property by the layer thickness variation.
  • the overall transparency of the package can be adjusted by varying the ratio between transparent layer thickness and opaque layer thickness over the course of the physical boundary.
  • the picture of a packaging with transparency develops.
  • portions of such bottles are completely transparent and other portions are completely opaque.
  • the biggest advantage of such inventive packages is that a single package can be used to produce any number of different color gradients of the final product. Namely, the color gradient is not produced by coloring the packaging but, for example, by coloring the contained product.
  • the biggest advantage of such a packaging according to the invention is that a standard packaging can be produced in large quantities and thus cost-effectively, but which receives an individual character for the end consumer after being filled with the product.
  • the present invention furthermore relates to the use of a packaging according to the invention for hair cosmetics, in particular hair care products or hair shampoo. However, the present invention is by no means limited to an invention for such products.
  • FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the packaging according to the invention with two layers in cross section
  • FIG. 2 the packaging shown in Fig. 1 in side view.
  • the present embodiment is a round bottle in which the two layers 3 and 3 4 are continuously varied in axial expression to each other.
  • the physical boundary 2 of the packaging 1 consists entirely of the first layer 3, and in the neck area of the opening 6, the physical boundary 2 of the packaging 1 consists entirely of the second layer 4.
  • the variation of the layer thicknesses produces a transparency profile as shown schematically in FIG. 2.
  • the bottle in the bottom area is completely transparent and completely opaque in the neck area around the opening 5. Between these two extremes, the transparency merges into the opacity.
  • the product is at least partially visible to the consumer, namely in the transparent and partially transparent region. Is the product that is in the When the receiving space 6 is colored, the impression of a color gradient that is formed by the transparency course of the bottle arises for the consumer.
  • the color gradient that can be seen by the consumer can be varied as desired by the manufacturer of such products when using bottles according to the invention by coloring the product contained differently. This results in completely individualized packaging for end consumers with different color gradients, all of which can be realized with technically identical packaging. This possibility means an immense financial benefit for the manufacturer and a significant reduction in manufacturing complexity.
