Definitions
- the reinforcing rib is provided on one of the second and fourth main panels and/or on a closure panel at the vicinity of a respective free edge, that is to say an edge from which nothing extends.
- the packaging container according to the invention there is no need to dust flap joined and folded relative to the main panel and/or the closure panel on which is made the at least one reinforcing rib.
- Such a packaging container without dust flap can be manufactured more quickly at least because there is no need to manipulate the dust flap.
- the reinforcing rib may extend in a perpendicular direction to the longitudinal direction of the packaging container, that is to say with an angle of around 90° compared to the longitudinal direction, or more generally the reinforcing rib may extend with an angle comprised between around 45° and around 90° compared to the longitudinal direction, or optionally with an angle comprised between around 75° and around 90 compared to the longitudinal direction.
- the packaging container may be made from a cardboard having a grammage, or weight, comprised between around 180 g/m 2 to around 450 g/m 2 , and optionally between around 200 g/m 2 to around 350 g/m 2 .
- the packaging container may have a size defined by a width, a length and a height in millimeters and comprised between around 10 mm, 30 mm, 10 mm respectively to around 100 mm, 200 mm, 60 mm respectively, and optionally between around 30 mm, 70 mm, 17 mm respectively to around 50 mm, 120 mm, 40 mm respectively; so that the packaging container can be manipulated with one hand for regular use.
- the packaging container may comprise a plurality of reinforcing ribs on at least one of the second main panel, fourth main panel and closure panel, for instance between 1 to 15 reinforcing ribs and optionally between 1 to 5 reinforcing ribs on each panel.
- the reinforcing ribs extend transversally, that is to say not parallel to the longidutinal direction of the packaging container, as explained aboved.
- the at least one reinforcing rib may be formed at a predetermined distance of the respective one of the first transversal free edge, second transversal free edge, first free side edge and second free side edge, the predetermined distance being comprised between 2 mm and 25 mm.
- Figure 2 is a perspective view of the packaging container shown in Figure 1 , in a raised state.
- the third main panel 5 is joined by its second longitudinal edge 20 to the first longitudinal edge 15 of the second main panel 4.
- closure panels 8 are thus opposite to each other.
- the two second supplemental folded tongues 9 are introduced into the internal space of the packaging container 1 .
- each of the second and fourth main panels 4 and 6 has three reinforcing ribs 40 formed at a predetermined distance of the respective first and second transversal free edges 17, 25 and 18, 26; while each of the closure panels has two reinforcing ribs 40 formed at a predetermined distance of the respective first and second free side edges 29 and 30.
- a pattern 50 differs from the packaging container 1 as shown in Figures 1 and 2 only in that the packaging container 1 is detached from the blank sheet 45.
- FIG. 1 The rest of the packaging container 1 , including the first main panel 3, second main panel 4, third main panel 5, fourth main panel 6, closures panels 8, and first and second supplemental tongues 7 and 9 have similar featuresd, reinforcing ribs omitted, and the description made above for Figures 1 and 2, and also for Figure 3, thus applies to Figures 4 and 5.
- Figures 6 and 7 are similar to Figures 1 and 2 and show a similar packaging container 1 , except in that the second and fourth main panels 4 and 6 are devoid of reinforcing rib.
- the another supplemental closure panel 60 comprises a first free side edge 61 , a second free side edge 62 opposite to the first free side edge 61 , a first transversal edge 63 joined to both first and second free side edges 61 and 62, and a second transversal edge 64 which is free, opposite to the first transversal edge 63 and also joined to both first and second free side edges 61 and 62.
- the another supplemental closure panel 60 is joined by its first transversal edge 63 to the first transversal edge 21 of the third main panel 5.
- Both another closure panel 8 and another supplemental closure panel 60 are here joined and folded relative to the third main panel 5 at the location respectively of a first longitudinal end 75 and a second longitudinal end 76 of the third main panel 5.
- reinforcing ribs 40 are here formed on the second and fourth main panels 4 and 6.
- reinforcing ribs 40 are here formed also on both closure panels 8 and supplemental closure panels 60, respectively close to both first and second free side edges 29, 30 and both first and second free side edges 61 , 62.
- the rest of the packaging container 1 including the first main panel 3, second main panel 4, fourth main panel 6, and first supplemental tongue 7 have similar featuresd and the description made above for Figures 1 and 2, and also for Figure 3, thus applies to Figures 6 and 7.
- the reinforcing ribs 40 are provided on one of the second and fourth main panels 4, 6 and/or on closure panels 8 or supplemental closure panels 60, at the vicinity or immediate vicinity of a respective free edge, that is to say an edge from which nothing extends.
- Such reinforcing ribs 40 extends transversally compared to the substantial longitudinal direction of extension of the packaging container 1 .
- the packaging container 1 as described above is particularly simple and easy to manufacture.
- the method for manufacturing such packaging containers comprises the steps of forming patterns in the blank sheet material, the patterns being optionally nested and arranged “head-to-tail”.
- the reinforcing ribs can be made with a similar marking tool as used for making the folded lines and/or cutting lines.
- reinforcing ribs are equated to reinforcing grooves.
- the method further comprises the steps of cutting along the cutting lines the patterns in order to detach them from the blank sheet material and then obtain the packaging containers in flat configuration, and of folding along the folding lines each packaging container from its blank state or flat configuration to its raised state or box configuration.
- first main panel, second main panel, third main panel, fourth main panel and/or the first supplemental folded tongue form the belt defining the packaging container having a substantially parallelepipedic shape extending globally longitudinally and defining an internal space, and at least the closure panel(s) and/or supplemental closure panel(s) and/or second supplement folded tongue(s) close the longitudinal ends of the packaging container and form a tamper evident member.
- any reinforcing rib made as described above extends transversally.
- reinforcing ribs 40 as shown in Figures 1 to 9 here extend transversally, not parallel to the longitudinal direction of the packaging container 1 , and in particular substantially perpendicularly, that is to say with an angle around 90° compared to the longitudinal direction.
- the packaging container may be made from a cardboard having a grammage, or weight, comprised between around 180 g/m 2 to around 450 g/m 2 , and optionally between around 200 g/m 2 to around 350 g/m 2 ;
- the packaging container may have a size defined by a width, a length and a height in millimeters and comprised between around 10 mm, 30 mm, 10 mm respectively to around 100 mm, 200 mm, 60 mm respectively, and optionally between around 30 mm, 70 mm, 17 mm respectively to around 50 mm, 120 mm, 40 mm respectively;
- the reinforcing rib(s) may be formed at a predetermined distance of the respective one of the first transversal free edge, second transversal free edge, first free side edge and second free side edge, the predetermined distance being comprised between 2 mm and 25 mm.
- Reinforcing ribs can be formed close to only one of the transversal and/or side free edges of the respective second and/or fourth main panels and/or closure panel(s).
