Method for packaging roll of paper and the packaging box to be applied therewith

Abstract

A method for packaging a roll of paper using a sheet of packaging material, whereby in the sheet of packaging material are applied a number of creases or folding lines running parallel to one another and bordering neighboring sheet parts. The sheet of packaging material is folded around the creases or folding lines in order to form a polygonal packaging box for the paper roll. The packaging box is formed by the sheet parts enclosing an angle with one another. Partitions are fitted inside the packaging box near the ends of the packaging box. A packaging box made by the method and sheets of packaging material to be used for making the packaging box and the enclosing member are also described.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(a) to Application No. 1034786.0, filed in The Netherlands on Dec. 3, 2007, the entirety of which is expressly incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to a method for packaging a roll of paper using a sheet of packaging material, so that a number of creases or folding lines are applied in the sheet of packaging material. The creases or folding lines are formed running parallel to one another and bordering neighboring sheet parts. The sheet of packaging material is folded around the creases or folding lines in order to form a polygonal packaging box for the paper roll. This packaging box is formed by sheet parts enclosing ail angle with one another. Partitions are fitted inside the packaging box near the ends of the packaging box. The present invention further relates to the packaging box thus created ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0007]The aim of the present invention is to obtain a method with which the disadvantages associated with the known method can be eliminated.

[0010]By applying the method according to the present invention, a sturdy enclosure of the roll inside the packaging box can be achieved without using any further tools. Additionally, a sturdy construction of the ends of the packaging box is achieved through the partitions fitted inside the ends of the packaging box together with the bent edge parts forming a whole therewith, so that damage of the roll accepted inside the packaging box as a result of impact received against the ends of the packaging box can be prevented. The sturdily embodied ends of the packaging box can also be utilized for grabbing the packaging box manually or through a mechanical transport device, with a view to relocating the packaging box and its contents.

[0012]As such, an advantage of the method according to the present invention is that it is no longer necessary to have a plurality of different broadsheets in stock in order to suitably package one or more rolls of paper. It is only necessary to have packaging material in sheet form in stock from which are created upon demand broadsheets of such dimensions that one or more rolls of paper can be packaged inside the packaging box formed from the broadsheet. This will provide a considerable saving in material costs for the packaging material in stock and more flexibility in the dimensions of the rolls of paper when it is desirable that these are packaged as tightly as possible inside the packaging box according to the present invention.

Problems solved by technology

This leads to a complicated construction and the link between the partitions and the sheet parts of the packaging is weak.

However, this known packaging also has a complicated construction using a particularly large amount of packaging material.
