Benefits of technology

The invention provides a method and device for making packages for cigarettes, cigarillos or cigars that meet various requirements without using an inner package. The method allows for a more efficient production process and allows for a variety of visible or almost invisible signs that can serve as authentication features. These signs can include logotypes, points, colors, and their combinations, which are produced by the embossing roller and are suitable for visual, tactile, auditory, or olfactory perception.

Problems solved by technology

Supplying the two blanks synchronously to the cycle of the packaging machine requires complex synchronizing means, particularly when the inner package is being embossed and / or printed.

Embodiment Construction

[0024]FIG. 1 shows a simplified flow chart of a possible device for producing a package for cigarettes as it is illustrated in FIGS. 12 and 14. Device 1 according to FIG. 1 comprises a foil strip reel 2 with a foil strip 3 that runs first through an embossing unit 4, then through a creasing unit 5, and finally through a cutting unit 6 in order to subsequently reach a packaging machine 7 as a blank 19.

[0025]The packaging foil, i.e. the foil strip 3 for producing an outer package may consist of a light material, e.g. of paper, thin cardboard, of hybrid foils, i.e. foils having multiple coatings of different materials, or of plastics foils that may be metallized or otherwise coated, or for certain applications, in certain countries where it is still allowed, a metal foil. In the following, this will simply be designated by the term “foil”.

[0026]As a first regulating unit 8, device 1 comprises a synchronizing device that serves for adapting the operating cadence A1 of embossing unit 4 t...

Abstract

In the method for producing a package for bar-shaped smoking articles that has at least one outer layer intended to receive the bar-shaped smoking articles and to hold the package together, a foil strip that is suitable for the outer layer and is taken from a reel is embossed and / or provided with creasing breaks online in time with the work cadence (P) of the packaging machine and subsequently cut to size. The resulting blank is then folded around the bar-shaped smoking articles in the packaging machine. On one hand, this method allows packaging the cigarettes directly in the outer wrapper without an innerliner, and on the other hand, to strongly rationalize and simplify the entire packaging process and to apply a large variety of signs of all kinds that are perceptible visually, tactually, acoustically or by olfaction.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is the National Phase of PCT / EP2012 / 056459, filed Apr. 10, 2012, which claims priority to European Application No. 11162113.2, filed Apr. 12, 2011, the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.FIELD OF INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to a method and a device for producing a package for bar-shaped smoking articles that has at least one outer layer. The term “bar-shaped smoking articles” is meant to include cigarettes, cigarillos, or cigars. For the sake of simplicity, mostly only cigarettes are mentioned in the following.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]According to the prior art, a cigarette package is generally composed of an inner package that may consist of paper, plastic material, metallized paper, or synthetic paper, in rare cases also of an aluminum foil, and of an outer package that may consist of thin cardboard as it is e.g. described in WO-2010 / 012370 A1, or general...
