Verpackungen dieser Art werden für eine Vielzahl gewerblicher Zwecke verwendet. Ein wichtiges Anwendungsgebiet solcher Verpackungen liegt in der Nahrungsmittelindustrie, wo Verpackungen eingesetzt werden, um Nahrungsmittel in brauchbaren Portionen bevorraten und verkaufen zu können, um die Nahrungsmittel frisch zu halten und um sie vor Umwelteinflüssen zu schützen.Packaging of this type is used for a variety of commercial purposes. One important application of such packaging is in the food industry, where packaging is used to stock and sell food in useful portions to keep the food fresh and protect it from environmental influences.
Eine wichtige Aufgabe solcher Verpackungen, insbesondere wenn Sie im Konsumgüterbereich eingesetzt werden, besteht darin, für den Verbraucher und Käufer eine attraktive Aufmachung darzustellen, die ihn zum Kauf animiert. Zu diesem Zweck ist es insbesondere im Konsumgüterbereich erforderlich, die Farbgebung und Formgebung von Verpackungen aktuellen Trends anzupassen und kreativ zu gestalten. Bei dieser Gestaltung ist jedoch stets darauf zu achten, dass die geänderten Verpackungen sich nach wie vor für die übliche maschinelle Verpackungsherstellung und ProduKtverfüllung eignen und dass die Mehrkosten, die durch die Neugestaltung verursacht werden, möglichst niedrig gehalten oder gänzlich vermieden worden.An important function of such packaging, especially when used in the consumer goods sector, is to present an attractive presentation to the consumer and buyer that encourages them to buy. For this purpose, it is necessary, especially in the consumer goods sector, to adapt the coloring and shaping of packaging to current trends and to create it creatively. In this design, however, it must always be ensured that the modified packaging is still suitable for the usual mechanical packaging production and product filling and that the additional costs, caused by the redesign, kept as low as possible or completely avoided.
Ein weiterer wichtiger Aspekt für Verpackungen besteht darin, die darin beinhalteten Produkte dem Benutzer möglichst komfortabel zugänglich zu machen. Das Öffnen der Verpackung sollte einfach und möglichst ohne Hilfsmittel zu bewerkstelligen sein. Die Entnahme der Produkte sollte einfach erfolgen können. Weiterhin ist es in vielen Bereichen bevorzugt, wenn sich die Verpackung nach dem erstmaligen Öffnen auch wiederverschließen und mehrmals öffnen und schließen lässt, um auf diese Weise auch die Produkte in einer angebrochenen Verpackung frisch zu halten.Another important aspect of packaging is to make the products contained within it accessible to the user as conveniently as possible. The opening of the packaging should be easy and possible to accomplish without aids. The removal of the products should be easy. Furthermore, it is preferred in many areas if the packaging can also be resealed after opening for the first time and opened and closed several times, in order to keep the products fresh in a partially opened package in this way.

Die bodenseitige Verschließung kann in beliebiger Weise ausgeführt werden und ist vorzugsweise so ausgebildet, dass eine flache Standfläche durch die Bodenfläche gebildet wird. Der Schlauch, aus dem die gesamte Verpackung vorzugsweise einstückig hergestellt ist, kann in einem nahtlosem Schlauch bestehen oder durch Verbinden der Längskanten einer Folienlage ausgebildet werden. Im letzteren Fall weist die Verpackung eine zwischen bodenseitiger und kopfseitiger Verschließung sich erstreckende Längsnaht auf.The packaging provided by the invention has a front, a back and two side surfaces, which are preferably each arranged at right angles to each other. The bottom-side closure can be carried out in any desired manner and is preferably designed such that a flat standing surface is formed by the bottom surface. The tube, from which the entire package is preferably made in one piece, can be made in a seamless tube or formed by connecting the longitudinal edges of a film layer. In the latter case, the packaging has a between bottom-side and head-side closure extending longitudinal seam.
Die kopfseitige Verschließung der erfindungsgemäßen Verpackung ermöglicht eine attraktive Gestaltung des Verpackungsäußeren, ohne dass dadurch die Herstellung der Verpackung und Verfüllung des Produkts nennenswert erschwert und verteuert würde. Die erfindungsgemäße Verpackung kann auf bekannten Produktionsanlagen durch geringe Modifikation hergestellt werden. Die erfindungsgemäße Verpackung unterscheidet sich im Äußeren wesentlich von bekannten Verpackungen und hebt sich dadurch bei der Produktpräsentation positiv von anderen Verpackungen ab.The top-side closure of the packaging according to the invention allows an attractive design of the packaging exterior, without thereby making the production of packaging and backfilling of the product appreciably more difficult and expensive. The packaging according to the invention can be produced on known production equipment by slight modification. The packaging according to the invention differs in appearance externally substantially from known packaging and thereby stands out in the product presentation positively from other packaging.
Die durch die erfindungsgemäße Verpackung erzielte Form wird durch die vorzugsweise etwa mittig zusammengeführten ersten und zweiten Beutelfahnen ausgebildet. Die Bogenform der ersten und zweiten Beutelfahne ist um eine Achse gekrümmt, die sich senkrecht zur Front- und Rückfläche erstreckt. Vorzugsweise liegt die durch den kuppelförmigen Abschluss gebildete Bogenfläche parallel zu dieser Achse.The shape achieved by the packaging according to the invention is formed by the first and second bag flags, which are preferably brought together approximately in the center. The arched shape of the first and second bag flags is curved about an axis extending perpendicular to the front and back surfaces. Preferably, the curved surface formed by the dome-shaped end is parallel to this axis.

Es ist besonders bevorzugt, die erfindungsgemäße Verpackung nach dem kennzeichnenden Teil von Anspruch 2 fortzubilden.It is particularly preferred to train the packaging according to the invention according to the characterizing part of claim 2.
Auf diese Weise werden die Beutelfahnen zweilagig ausgebildet. Dabei wird der Schlauchseitenabschnitt teilweise mit dem seitlichen Frontabschnitt des Schlauchs und zum anderen Teil mit dem seitlichen Rückabschnitt des Schlauchs aufeinander gelegt. Vorzugsweise wird der Schlauchseitenabschnitt genau hälftig mit dem seitlichen Frontabschnitt und zur anderen Hälfte mit dem seitlichen Rückabschnitt des Schlauchs aufeinander gelegt. In Draufsicht auf die Kopfseite ergibt sich dann eine H-Form, wobei der Steg dieses H's durch die mittleren Teile des Front- und Rückabschnitts des Schlauchs gebildet werden und die Schenkel des H's durch die Beutelfahnen gebildet werden, wobei vorzugsweise ausgehend vom Mittelsteg des H's jeder Schenkelabschnitt durch den aufeinandergelegten Schlauchseitenabschnitt und einen seitlichen Front- bzw. einen seitlichen Rückabschnitt des Schlauchs gebildet wird.In this way, the bag flags are formed in two layers. In this case, the hose side portion is partially superimposed with the lateral front portion of the hose and the other part with the lateral rear portion of the hose. Preferably, the hose side portion is exactly half of the lateral front portion and the other half with the lateral rear portion of the hose superimposed. In a plan view of the head side then gives an H-shape, wherein the web of this H's are formed by the middle parts of the front and rear portion of the hose and the legs of the H's are formed by the bag lugs, preferably starting from the middle web of the H's each Thigh section through the superposed hose side portion and a lateral front and a side rear portion of the hose is formed.
Es ist weiterhin bevorzugt, dass nur eine Beutelfahne verschlossen ist, insbesondere versiegelt oder verklebt ist. Auf diese Weise wird eine Verpackung bereitgestellt, bei der die Produkte durch eine unverschlossene Beutelfahne einfach entnommen werden können, ohne dass besondere Öffnungsmaßnahmen erforderlich wären und gleichzeitig eine ungewollte Produktentnahme durch die andere Beutelfahne durch deren Verschließung verhindert wird. Diese Fortbildung der Verpackung eignet sich insbesondere dann, wenn schütt-, riesel- oder gießfähige Produkte in der Verpackung verpackt werden.It is further preferred that only one bag flag is closed, in particular sealed or glued. In this way, a package is provided in which the products can be easily removed by an unlocked bag flag without special opening measures would be required and at the same time unwanted removal of product by the other bag flag is prevented by their closure. This training of the packaging is particularly useful when pourable, pourable or pourable products are packed in the package.
Dabei kann die verschlossene Beutelfahne eine größere Breite aufweisen als die unverschlossene Beutelfahne. Unter verschlossener Beutelfahne soll in diesem Zusammenhang diejenige Beutelfahne verstanden werden, die durch Verschweißung oder Versiegelung an ihrem Ende selbst in sich verschlossen ist. Die unverschlossene Beutelfahne ist an diesem Ende nicht oder zumindest nicht vollständig versiegelt oder verschweißt und ermöglicht so bei Öffnung, Auffaltung etc. die Entnahme von Produkten. In vielen Fällen ist es jedoch wünschenswert, auch die unverschlossene Beutelfahne zur Konservierung des Produkts und Abdichtung der Verpackung zu verschließen. Der Verschluss der unverschlossenen Beutelfahne soll jedoch in einer Weise erfolgen, die es dem Verbraucher einfach ermöglicht, die unverschlossene Beutelfahne zu öffnen. Zu diesem Zweck ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die unverschlossene Beutelfahne schmaler ist als die verschlossene Beutelfahne. Auf diese Weise wird es ermöglicht, die unverschlossene Beutelfahne durch Aufbringen eines Klebestreifens, eines Siegelbandes oder Ähnlichem so mit der verschlossenen Beutelfahne zu verbinden, dass die unverschlossene Beutelfahne allseitig durch das Klebeband, Siegelbahn oder Ähnliches geschlossen wird. Bei Entfernung des Klebebands, Siegelbands oder Ähnlichem wird dann die unverschlossene Beutelfahne eröffnet und ermöglicht die Produktentnahme.The closed bag flag can have a greater width than the unlocked bag flag. Under closed bag flag should be understood in this context that bag flag, which is closed by welding or sealing at its end itself. The unlocked bag flag is not or at least not completely sealed or welded at this end and allows for opening, unfolding etc., the removal of products. In many cases, however, it is desirable to also seal the unlocked bag flag for preserving the product and sealing the package. However, the closure of the unlocked bag flag should be done in a manner that allows the consumer to easily open the unlocked bag flag. For this purpose, it is advantageous if the unlocked bag flag is narrower than the closed bag flag. In this way, it is possible to connect the unlocked bag flag by applying an adhesive strip, a sealing tape or the like so with the closed bag flag that the unlocked bag flag is closed on all sides by the tape, seal track or the like. Upon removal of the adhesive tape, seal tape or the like, the unlocked bag flag is opened and allows product removal.
Weiterhin ist es bei den beiden vorgenannten Ausführungsformen vorteilhaft, wenn die unverschlossene Beutelfahne in ihrem seitlichen Randbereich versiegelt oder verschweißt ist. Unter dieser Versiegelung oder Verschweißung soll die Versiegelung oder Verschweißung der unverschlossenen Beutelfahne in sich selbst verstanden werden. Es ist vielfach schwierig oder fertigungstechnisch unzuverlässig zu erreichen, dass die unverschlossene Beutelfahne mit einem Klebeband oder Siegelband vollständig verschlossen wird. Oftmals ist durch die im seitlichen Randbereich auftretende Faltung eine kleine Öffnung vorhanden, die den Luftzutritt in die Verpackung hinein/aus der Verpackung hinaus erlaubt und folglich die Konservierung der Produkte in der Verpackung gefährdet. Dieser Nachteil kann vermieden werden, indem die unverschlossene Beutelfahne in ihrem seitlichen Randbereich versiegelt oder verschweißt ist. Auf diese Weise verbleibt ein mittlerer Öffnungsbereich der unverschlossenen Beutelfahne, der auf eine einfache Weise mit einem Klebeband oder Siegelband sicher verschlossen werden kann. Diese Ausführungsform kann insbesondere verwendet werden, wenn die unverschlossene Beutelfahne eine gleiche Breite oder sogar eine größere Breite aufweist als die verschlossene Beutelfahne. In diesem Fall kann die seitliche Versiegelung/Verschweißung soweit reichen, dass der mittige, unversiegelte Bereich wiederum schmaler ist als die verschlossene Beutelfahne.Furthermore, it is advantageous in the two aforementioned embodiments, when the unlocked bag flag in its lateral edge region sealed or welded. By this sealing or welding, the sealing or welding of the unlocked bag flag should be understood in itself. It is often difficult or unreliable manufacturing technology to achieve that the unlocked bag flag is completely closed with an adhesive tape or sealing tape. Often, due to the folding occurring in the lateral edge region, there is a small opening which allows the entry of air into the package in / out of the package and consequently jeopardizes the preservation of the products in the package. This disadvantage can be avoided by sealing or welding the unlocked bag flag in its lateral edge area. In this way, a central opening portion of the unlocked bag flag remains, which can be securely closed in a simple manner with an adhesive tape or sealing tape. This embodiment can be used in particular when the unlocked bag flag has a same width or even a greater width than the closed bag flag. In this case, the lateral sealing / welding may be sufficient so that the central, unsealed area is again narrower than the closed bag flag.
Dabei kann die Versiegelung im seitlichen Randbereich der unverschlossenen Beutelfahne so gestaltet sein, dass eine schmale Ausgießöffnung ausgebildet ist. So kann die Versiegelung zur Öffnung der Beutelfahne hin breiter werden und/oder konvergieren, um diese Öffnungsgestaltung zu erreichen. Die Öffnung ist dann schmaler als die Beutelfahne selbst und auch schmaler als der unversiegelte Mittenbereich der Beutelfahne am Fuß der Beutelfahne.In this case, the seal in the lateral edge region of the unlocked bag flag can be designed so that a narrow pouring opening is formed. Thus, the seal for opening the bag flag can become wider and / or converge to achieve this opening design. The opening is then narrower than the bag flag itself and also narrower than the unsealed center portion of the bag flag at the foot of the bag flag.
Weiterhin ist es bei den Ausführungsformen mit nur einer verschlossenen Beutelfahne vorteilhaft, wenn die unverschlossene Beutelfahne oberhalb der verschlossenen Beutelfahne liegt und mit einem Siegelband verschlossen ist. Dies ermöglicht die zuverlässige Verschließung der unverschlossenen Beutelfahne und zugleich die einfache Öffnung der Verpackung durch den Verbraucher.Furthermore, it is advantageous in the embodiments with only one sealed bag flag, when the unlocked bag flag lies above the closed bag flag and is closed with a sealing tape. This allows for the reliable closure of the unlocked bag flag and at the same time the easy opening of the package by the consumer.
Schließlich ist es bei dieser Ausführungsform noch vorteilhaft, wenn das Siegelband eine mehrmalige Öffnung und Wiederverschließung erlaubt. Auf diese Weise kann der Verbraucher auf einfachere Weise durch Öffnen des Siegelbands durch die unverschlossene Beutelfahne die Produkte entnehmen und hierauf folgend die Verpackung wiederverschließen und mehrmalig öffnen.Finally, it is still advantageous in this embodiment, when the sealing band allows repeated opening and reclosing. In this way, the consumer can remove the products in a simpler manner by opening the sealing tape through the unlocked bag flag and then reseal the packaging and reopen several times.
Weiterhin ist es bevorzugt, wenn beide Beutelfahnen verschlossen sind, insbesondere versiegelt oder verklebt sind. Auf diese Weise wird eine Verpackung bereitgestellt, welche die darin verpackten Produkte sicher vor Umgebungseinflüssen schützt und konserviert. Die Beutelfahnen oder eine Beutelfahne können durch Abschneiden des Verschlussbereichs oder Aufreißen geöffnet werden, um auf diese Weise die Produkte entnehmen zu können.Furthermore, it is preferred if both bag lugs are closed, in particular sealed or glued. In this way, a package is provided which protects the products packed therein safely against environmental influences and preserved. The bag flags or a bag flag can be opened by cutting off the closure area or tearing open in order to be able to remove the products in this way.
Weiterhin ist es bevorzugt, die erfindungsgemäße Verpackung durch einen Mittelabschnitt fortzubilden, der zwischen der ersten und zweiten Beutelfahne angeordnet ist und der durch Aufeinanderlegen eines mittigen Frontabschnitts auf einen mittigen Rückabschnitt des Schlauchs, die in Verlängerung der Kopf- bzw. Rückfläche angeordnet sind, ausgebildet ist. Auf diese Weise wird eine Verpackung mit großem Volumen im Verhältnis zur Außenfläche bereitgestellt und auf einfache Weise die attraktive Außengestaltung ermöglicht.Furthermore, it is preferred to further develop the packaging according to the invention by a central portion which is arranged between the first and second bag flags and which is formed by placing a central front portion on a central rear portion of the tube, which are arranged in extension of the head or rear surface , In this way, a large-volume package is provided relative to the outer surface, and easily allows attractive exterior design.
Dabei kann der Mittelabschnitt insbesondere verschlossen sein, beispielsweise versiegelt oder verklebt sein. Auf diese Weise werden die Produkte in der Verpackung vor Umwelteinflüssen sicher geschützt und konserviert.In this case, the middle section may in particular be closed, for example sealed or adhesively bonded. In this way, the products in the packaging are safely protected and preserved against environmental influences.
Weiterhin ist es bei der Ausführung mit Mittelabschnitt bevorzugt, wenn eine Ausnehmung in dem Mittelabschnitt vorhanden ist, so dass eine Einwärtsfaltung der Beutelfahnen erleichtert wird. Eine solche Ausnehmung kann in Form eines Schlitzes oder einer Aussparung gebildet sein und ermöglicht es, die Beutelfahnen in Richtung des Mittelabschnitts einzufalten, ohne dass dadurch die Steifigkeit des Mittelabschnitts und die daraus bei Abwesenheit einer Ausnehmung erforderliche Einwölbung oder Faltung des Mittelabschnitts diese Einwärtsfaltung behindern würde. Die Ausnehmung kann vorzugsweise so ausgebildet sein, dass sie bis an die Beutelfahnen heranreicht.Furthermore, it is preferred in the embodiment with central portion, if a recess in the central portion is present, so that an inward folding of the bag flags is facilitated. Such a recess may be formed in the form of a slot or a recess and makes it possible to fold the bag lugs in the direction of the central portion, without the stiffness of the central portion and the required in the absence of a recess concavity or folding of the central portion would hinder this inward folding. The recess may preferably be formed so that it reaches up to the bag flags.
Es ist dabei weiterhin bevorzugt, dass ein sich parallel zum Boden der Verpackung erstreckender Siegelabschnitt des Mittelabschnitts umgefaltet ist zur Stützung der Kuppelform. Der Siegelabschnitt kann zur Erzielung einer weiteren Stabilität mit einer oder beiden Beutelfahnen verklebt oder verschweißt werden.It is further preferred that a sealing portion of the middle section extending parallel to the bottom of the packaging is folded over to support the dome shape. The sealing portion may be glued or welded to achieve further stability with one or both bag flags.
Weiterhin kann ein sich parallel zum Boden der Verpackung erstreckender Siegelabschnitt des Mittelabschnitts ein Fenster zum Aufhängen der Verpackung auf einem Stab oder zum Befestigen eines Zugabeprodukts an der Verpackung aufweisen. So kann die Verpackung sicher und repräsentativ zum Verkauf an einer horizontalen Stange hintereinander aufgehängt und angeboten werden und vom Verbraucher auf einfache Weise am freien Ende von der Stange abgenommen werden.Furthermore, a sealing portion of the central portion extending parallel to the bottom of the package may include a window for suspending the package on a stick or for attaching an adduct to the package. Thus, the packaging can be safely and representatively suspended for sale on a horizontal bar in a row and offered and easily removed by the consumer at the free end of the bar.
Weiterhin ist es bevorzugt, die Verpackung fortzubilden durch ein Verschlussklebeband, insbesondere ein eine mehrmalige Öffnung und Wiederverschließung erlaubendes Verschlussklebeband, zur Verbindung der Beutelfahnen miteinander. Ein Verschlussklebeband erlaubt auf einfache Weise einen formstabilen Verschluss der Verpackung. Oftmals ist es vorteilhaft, wenn nach einer Öffnung der Verpackung eine Wiederverschließung möglich ist. Dies kann beispielsweise bereitgestellt werden, indem das Verschlussklebeband zur mehrmaligen Öffnung und Verschließung geeignet ist, d. h. seine Klebekraft nicht nach einmaliger Öffnung verliert.Furthermore, it is preferable to further develop the packaging by means of a closure adhesive tape, in particular a closure adhesive tape allowing a multiple opening and resealing, for connecting the bag flags to one another. A sealing tape allows a simple way a dimensionally stable closure of the packaging. Often it is advantageous if a re-closure is possible after opening the package. This can be provided, for example, by making the sealing tape suitable for repeated opening and closing, i. H. does not lose its adhesive power after a single opening.
Dabei ist es insbesondere bevorzugt, wenn das Verschlussband Mittel zum Anzeigen einer erstmaligen Öffnung der Verpackung aufweist, insbesondere eine Perforation. Die Verbrauchersicherheit erfordert es, dass einer Verpackung auf einfache Weise angesehen werden kann, ob sie noch im originalverschlossenen Zustand ist oder ob eine Öffnung bereits stattgefunden hat. Dies kann beispielsweise durch entsprechende Mittel am Verschlussband erzielt werden. Oftmals wird für diese Zwecke auch ein Siegeletikett verwendet. Es ist jedoch bevorzugt, diese Anzeigefunktion in das Verschlussband zu integrieren, beispielsweise indem bei der erstmaligen Öffnung eine Perforation des Verschlussbandes aufgerissen werden muss.In this case, it is particularly preferred if the closure band has means for indicating a first-time opening of the packaging, in particular a perforation. Consumer safety requires that a package can be easily viewed, whether it is still in the original closed state or whether an opening has already taken place. This can be achieved, for example, by appropriate means on the closure band. Often a seal label is used for these purposes. However, it is preferable to integrate this display function into the closure band, for example by tearing open a perforation of the closure band during the first opening.
Alternativ zu dieser Lösung kann ein Einwegverschlussband zur Anzeige einer erstmaligen Öffnung der Verpackung und ein Wiederverschlussband zum mehrmaligen Öffnen und Wiederverschließen der Verpackung vorhanden sein. Auf diese Weise kann durch Begutachtung des Einwegverschlussbandes, welches beispielsweise ein Papierhaftetikett sein kann, der Originalzustand der Verpackung beurteilt werden und nach erstmaliger Öffnung ein Wiederverschluss der Verpackung mit dem Wiederverschlussband erzielt werden.As an alternative to this solution, a disposable closure tape may be present to indicate a first opening of the package and a reclosure tape to open and close the package several times. In this way, by assessing the disposable closure tape, which may be, for example, a paper adhesive label, the original condition of the package can be assessed and after reopening the packaging with the re-closure tape can be achieved.
Es ist weiterhin bevorzugt, wenn die Beutelfahnen so lang sind, dass sie sich an ihrem Ende überschneiden. Auf diese Weise entsteht eine besonders stabile Verpackung, die eine sichere Verschlussmöglichkeit durch Verbindung der Beutelfahnen ermöglicht.It is further preferred that the bag flags are so long that they overlap at their ends. In this way, a particularly stable packaging, which allows a secure closure option by connecting the bag flags.
Dabei kann ein Klebemittel, insbesondere ein eine mehrmalige Öffnung und Wiederverschließung erlaubendes Klebemittel zur Verbindung der Beutelfahnen im Bereich ihrer Überschneidung vorgesehen sein. Ein solches Klebemittel kann beispielsweise als Heißschmelzklebstoff, der im Bereich der Überschneidung auf eine oder beide Beutelfahnen aufgetragen ist, dienen und der seine Klebkraft vorzugsweise auch nach mehrmaliger Öffnung und Wiederverschließung nicht verliert.In this case, an adhesive, in particular a multiple opening and reclosing permitting adhesive for connecting the bag flags in the region of their overlap may be provided. Such an adhesive may, for example, serve as a hot melt adhesive which is applied to one or both bags in the area of the overlap and which preferably does not lose its adhesive force even after repeated opening and reclosing.
Schließlich ist es bevorzugt, wenn zwischen die aneinandergelegten Abschnitte einer Beutelfahne ein Mundstück, insbesondere ein verschließbares Mundstück, zur direkten Entnahme des Produkts aus der Verpackung eingesetzt ist. Ein solches Mundstück, das beispielsweise in einem Rohrabschnitt mit Schraubverschluss bestehen kann, ermöglicht eine besonders saubere Entnahme von Produkten und eignet sich insbesondere dann, wenn flüssige oder schüttfähige Produkte in der Verpackung verpackt sind. Das Mundstück kann beispielsweise in die Beutelfahne eingeklebt oder eingeschweißt sein und auf diese Weise fest mit der Verpackung verbunden sein.Finally, it is preferred if between the juxtaposed portions of a bag flag a mouthpiece, in particular a closable mouthpiece, for direct removal of the product from the packaging is used. Such a mouthpiece, which may for example consist of a pipe section with a screw cap, allows a particularly clean removal of products and is particularly suitable when liquid or free-flowing products are packed in the package. The mouthpiece may for example be glued or welded into the bag flag and in this way firmly connected to the packaging.
Ein weiterer Aspekt der Erfindung ist ein Verfahren zum Herstellen der zuvor beschriebenen Verpackung, welches durch die Merkmale von Anspruch 21 charakterisiert ist.Another aspect of the invention is a method of making the above-described package characterized by the features of claim 21.
Das Verfahren ermöglicht auf besonders kostengünstige und effiziente Weise die Herstellung der erfindungsgemäßen Verpackung.The method makes it possible to produce the packaging according to the invention in a particularly cost-effective and efficient manner.
Das Verfahren kann fortgebildet werden, indem der Schlauch aus einer flachen Schichtlage durch Falten und Verbinden der Längskanten gebildet wird. Auf diese Weise wird aus einem einfachen Ausgangsmaterial die erfindungsgemäße Verpackung produziert. Hierzu wird die flache Schichtlage vorzugsweise entlang zweier Längsfalten um 180° eingeschlagen, sodass die Längskanten in einem bestimmten Bereich zur Überschneidung kommen und in diesem Überschneidungsbereich eine Verbindung entlang der Längskanten, beispielsweise durch Verklebung oder Verschweißung, erzielt werden kann.The method can be developed by forming the tube from a flat sheet by folding and joining the longitudinal edges. In this way, the packaging according to the invention is produced from a simple starting material. For this purpose, the flat layer is preferably embossed along two longitudinal folds by 180 °, so that the longitudinal edges in a certain area to overlap and in this overlapping area, a connection along the longitudinal edges, for example by gluing or welding, can be achieved.
Es ist insbesondere bevorzugt, wenn nach dem Ausbilden der bodenseitigen Verschließung ein Produkt in die Verpackung gefüllt wird. Bei dieser Fortbildung kann in die in der Verpackungsmaschine stehende Produktverpackung das Produkt eingefüllt werden.It is particularly preferred if, after the formation of the bottom-side closure, a product is filled into the packaging. In this training, the product can be filled in the product packaging in the packaging machine.
Weiterhin ist es bevorzugt, wenn in den Schlauch zwischen den Beutelfahnen eine Ausnehmung eingebracht wird, insbesondere durch Ausstanzen oder Ausschneiden, zur Erleichterung der bogenförmigen Zusammenführung der Beutelfahnen. Die Ausnehmung kann vorzugsweise nach Ausbildung der Beutelfahnen mittels Stanzen oder mittels eines Schneidvorgangs eingebracht werden. Die Ausnehmung ist vorzugsweise rechteckig und erstreckt sich bis kurz vor die Beutelfahnen.Furthermore, it is preferred if a recess is introduced into the tube between the bag flags, in particular by punching or cutting, in order to facilitate the arcuate combination of the bag flags. The recess may preferably be introduced after forming the bag flags by means of punching or by means of a cutting process. The recess is preferably rectangular and extends to just before the bag flags.
Weiterhin ist es bevorzugt, wenn nur eine Beutelfahne durch Versiegelung oder Verklebung verschlossen wird. Zu diesen Verfahrensfortbildungen wird auf die zuvor beschriebenen, entsprechenden Ausbildungen der Verpackung verwiesen.Furthermore, it is preferred if only one bag flag is sealed by sealing or gluing. For these developments of the method, reference is made to the above-described, corresponding embodiments of the packaging.
Dabei ist es bevorzugt, dass die unverschlossene Beutelfahne in ihrem seitlichen Randbereich versiegelt wird. Auf diese Weise wird eine sichere Randabdichtung der unverschlossenen Beutelfahne erzielt und somit die temporäre Verschließung der unverschlossenen Beutelfahne ermöglicht. Es wird auf die zuvor beschriebene Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Verpackung verwiesen.It is preferred that the unlocked bag flag is sealed in its lateral edge region. In this way, a secure edge seal of the unlocked bag flag is achieved, thus allowing the temporary closure of the unlocked bag flag. Reference is made to the previously described embodiment of the packaging according to the invention.
Insbesondere ist es bevorzugt, dass die unverschlossene Beutelfahne über die verschlossene Beutelfahne gelegt wird und mittels eines Siegelbandes versiegelt wird. Auf diese Weise wird nach der Ausformung, Befüllung und hauptsächlichen Verschweißung der Verpackung ein nachgeschalteter Siegelbandauftragsvorgang vorgenommen, der die unverschlossene Beutelfahne verschließt und somit die Konservierung der Produkte in der Verpackung sicher stellt. Diese Verschließung mittels eines Siegelbandes kann vom Verbraucher auf einfache Weise geöffnet werden und auf diese Weise durch die unverschlossene Beutelfahne Produkte entnommen werden.In particular, it is preferred that the unlocked bag flag is placed over the closed bag flag and sealed by means of a sealing tape. In this way, after the formation, filling and main welding of the packaging, a downstream sealing tape application process is performed, which closes the unlocked bag flag and thus ensures the preservation of the products in the packaging. This closure by means of a sealing tape can be opened by the consumer in a simple manner and be removed in this way by the unlocked bag flag products.
Bei einer weiteren Verfahrensfortbildung werden die Beutelfahnen mit einem wiederverschließbaren Klebemittel, insbesondere einem Heißschmelzklebstoff oder einem Klebestreifen, miteinander verbunden. Ein solches Klebemittel ist besonders einfach zu verarbeiten und ermöglicht eine mehrmalige Öffnung und Wiederverschließung, wenn entsprechend ausgewählt. Insbesondere Heißschmelzklebstoff ist zuverlässig und einfach in einer Produktionsanlage bereitstellbar.In a further development of the method, the bag flags are connected to one another by means of a resealable adhesive, in particular a hot melt adhesive or an adhesive strip. Such an adhesive is particularly easy to process and allows for repeated opening and reclosing, when appropriately selected. In particular, hot melt adhesive is reliable and easy to deploy in a production plant.
Schließlich kann das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren fortgebildet werden, indem in eine der Beutelfahnen ein Mundstück eingesetzt wird.Finally, the method according to the invention can be developed by inserting a mouthpiece into one of the bag lugs.

Die Front-, Rück- und Seitenflächen sind im unteren Bereich der Verpackung rechtwinklig zueinander angeordnet und durch eine bodenseitige Verschließung 50 verschlossen. Die bodenseitige Verschließung 50 wird durch Falten, Versiegeln und Verkleben von Folienabschnitten, die in Verlängerung der Front-, Rück- und Seitenflächen nach unten angeordnet sind, ausgebildet.The front, rear and side surfaces are arranged at right angles to each other in the lower region of the package and closed by a bottom-side closure 50. The bottom-side closure 50 is formed by folding, sealing and adhering film portions arranged downward in extension of the front, rear and side surfaces.
An ihrem kopfseitigen, der bodenseitigen Verschließung gegenüberliegenden Ende, weist die erfindungsgemäße Verpackung eine von der bodenseitigen Verschließung unterschiedliche Verschließung auf, die in Figur 1 in einem Zwischenfertigungszustand gezeigt ist. Die kopfseitige Verschließung wird aus zwei Beutelfahnen gebildet, eine erste Beutelfahne 61 und eine zweite Beutelfahne 62. Die erste Beutelfahne 61 setzt sich aus einem frontseitigen Beutelfahnenabschnitt, der durch Aufeinanderlegen eines seitlichen Frontabschnitts 13 der Frontfläche auf einen Seitenflächenabschnitt 31 gebildet wird und einem rückseitigen Beutelfahnenabschnitt, der durch Aufeinanderlegen eines seitlichen Rückabschnitts 23 der Rückseite 20 auf einen Seitenflächenabschnitt 32 gebildet wird, zusammen.At its head-side, the bottom-side closure opposite end, the package according to the invention has a different closure of the bottom-side closure, which in FIG. 1 is shown in an intermediate production state. The head-side closure is formed from two bag flags, a first bag flag 61 and a second bag flag 62. The first bag flag 61 is composed of a front bag flag portion formed by laying a side front portion 13 of the front surface on a side surface portion 31 and a rear bag flag portion. which is formed by placing a side rear portion 23 of the back 20 on a side surface portion 32, together.
In gleicher Weise wird die zweite Beutelfahne durch einen seitlichen Frontabschnitt 14, der mit einem Seitenflächenabschnitt 41 zusammengelegt ist und einen seitlichen Rückabschnitt.24, der mit einem Seitenflächenabschnitt 42 zusammengelegt ist, gebildet.Likewise, the second bag flag is formed by a lateral front portion 14 which is collapsed with a side surface portion 41 and a lateral rear portion 24 which is collapsed with a side surface portion 42.
Zwischen den beiden Beutelfahnen 61, 62 ist eine Ausnehmung 63 angeordnet, die von verschweißten Rändern 64 umgeben ist.Between the two bag flags 61, 62, a recess 63 is arranged, which is surrounded by welded edges 64.
