Abstract
A blank forming step for forming a sheet-shaped resin blank able to be formed into a box by folding and bending, and a score line forming step of forming score lines in score line forming areas of the blank which are to be bent to form outer edges of the box, to extend in the direction in which the outer edges should extend. In the score line forming step, the score lines are formed in a manner causing grooves to be produced on the back side of each score line forming area, along the score lines, through plastic deformation. The blank therefore does not undergo tensile stress pulling on the blank to either side of each groove, and thus, does not undergo warping as a whole. The blank thus retains its sheet shape and can be steadily supplied to a packaging machine.
Description
- The present invention relates to a method of forming score lines on a blank, a method of manufacturing a package using same, and a package.
- Generally, packages of this type are called hinged-lid packages. The hinged-lid package is cuboidal in shape and has four longitudinal angular edges. The package with angular edges does not fit comfortably in the hand of a user who holds the package. The package with rounded edges in place of angular edges is therefore preferable. A blank (plastic sheet) for forming a package with rounded edges is known (see
patent document 1, for example). - According to
patent document 1, score lines are formed on the blank by pressing blades against the blank, and the resulting score-lined areas are bent into rounded edges. - The forming of score lines in the manner shown in
patent document 1, however, stretches the score-lined surface, so that the blank warps in the manner that the score-lined surface bulges. Such warped blank is not allowed to be supplied to a packaging machine to package items, such as cigarettes, in the blank. If the package is formed using such warped blank, the inner side of each rounded edge, namely the back side of each score-lined area stores the power to return to the original state, so that the whole package is swollen and distorted. Such distorted package is regarded as poor-quality and thus cannot be put on the market. - Patent Document 1: JP 2004-98586 A
- The present invention intends to provide a method of forming score lines on a blank in a manner not causing deformation, such as warping, of the whole blank so that the score-lined blank can be steadily supplied to a packaging machine and formed into a package without distortion, and a method of manufacturing a cigarette package with rounded edges using same, and a cigarette package.
- The present invention provides a method of forming score lines on a blank, comprising steps of:
- forming a sheet-shaped resin blank able to be formed into a box by folding, and
- forming score lines in score line forming areas of the blank which are to be bent to form outer edges of the box, to extend in a direction in which the outer edges should extend, wherein in the score line forming step, the score lines are formed in a manner causing grooves to be produced on a back side of each score line forming area, along the score lines, through plastic deformation.
- Desirably, the box to be formed comprises a box-shaped container open at the top and a box-shaped lid connected to a top edge of the container functioning as a hinge to open and close the container; the blank comprises a main section for forming the container, extending in one direction, and a sub-section for forming the lid, connected to an edge of the main section which is to form the hinge; the main section includes a front main panel, a bottom panel and a rear main panel for forming a front wall, a bottom wall and a rear wall of the container, aligned in the direction and delimited by transverse fold lines, and outer and inner side main flaps for forming an outer and an inner layer of each side wall of the container, connected to either side of the front main panel and of the rear main panel; the sub-section includes a rear sub-panel, a top panel and a front sub-panel for forming a rear wall, a top wall and a front wall of the lid, aligned in the direction and delimited by transverse fold lines, and inner and outer side sub-flaps for forming an inner and an outer layer of each side wall of the lid, connected to either side of the rear sub-panel and of the front sub-panel; and the score line forming areas are provided between the front main panel and the outer side main flap, between the rear main panel and the inner side main flap, between the rear sub-panel and the inner side sub-flap, and between the front sub-panel and the outer side sub-flap, respectively.
- Desirably, in the blank forming step, a printed layer for providing information about items to be contained in the box in a manner recognizable from the score line forming area side is formed on a side of the blank opposite to the score line forming area side.
- Desirably, the blank is made of polyethylene terephthalate.
- The present invention also provides a method of manufacturing a cigarette package with rounded edges using the aforementioned score line forming method, wherein after the score line forming step, the blank is formed into the box by folding and bending the blank with the score-lined surface outside.
- The present invention also provides a cigarette package with rounded edges manufactured by the aforementioned cigarette package manufacturing method.
- The method according to the present invention comprises a blank forming step of forming a blank able to be formed into a box by folding, and a score line forming step of forming score lines in areas of the blank which are to be bent to form outer edges of the box, to extend in a direction in which the outer edges should extend, and in the score line forming step, the score lines are formed in a manner causing grooves to be produced on a back side of each score line forming area, along the score lines, through plastic deformation. The score lines are thus formed on one side of the blank which is to form the outer surface of the box, and the forming of the score lines on one side of the blank simultaneously and automatically causes the production of grooves on the other side of the blank through plastic deformation. The blank therefore does not undergo tensile stress pulling on the blank to either side of each groove, and thus, does not undergo warping as a whole. Since the blank retains its sheet shape, it can be steadily supplied to a packaging machine. From the blank prevented from warping, a package can be formed without distortion.
- When the blank is configured to have a main section and a sub-section so as to be applied to a cigarette package (so-called hinged-lid package), the resulting cigarette package has rounded edges formed by bending the score-lined areas. Such package fits comfortably in the hand.
- In the blank forming step, a printed layer is formed on the side of the blank opposite to the score line forming area side, which means that the score lines are not formed directly on the printed layer.
- When made of polyethylene terephthalate, the blank is easy to handle and easy to form score lines thereon.
- A cigarette package with rounded edges can be produced from the blank having undergone the score line forming step, by bending the blank with the score-lined surface outside, thereby forming the blank into a box, where each score-lined area can be bent into a rounded edge utilizing the score lines. The cigarette package with rounded edges fits comfortably in the hand.

FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing another blank to which the score lines forming method according to the present invention has been applied. -
FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram showing an inner frame to which the score lines forming method according to the present invention has been applied. - A cigarette package (box) 1 shown in
FIG. 1 is, as a whole, cuboidal in shape and covered with a transparent film (not shown). The covering film has a tear tape. The package is partly exposed by opening the covering film along the tear tape. Thecigarette package 1 includes acontainer 2. Thecontainer 2 is open at the top. The open top is closed with alid 6. Thelid 6 is connected to the rear top edge of the container which functions as ahinge 4. The lid is therefore able to be rotated on thehinge 4 to open or close the container. More specifically, as seen fromFIG. 2 , thecontainer 2 has inclined top edges. Thecontainer 2 has further a U-shapedinner frame 10. Theinner frame 10 is arranged to project from the top of thecontainer 2 to define the top opening 12 of thecontainer 2. Theinner frame 10 has an access opening 14 in the front wall thereof. The access opening 14 has an approximately U shape. - The
lid 6 is in the shape of a box whose bottom edges define an inclined opening. Thelid 6 is designed to close the top opening 12 in the manner that thelid 6 lies over the projecting part of theinner frame 10. In the closed state, the bottom edges of thelid 6 meet the top edges of thecontainer 2. While in common packages, the container has four longitudinal angular edges, thecontainer 2 of the present invention hasrounded edges 16 in place of angular edges. In the transverse cross-section of thecontainer 2, eachrounded edge 16 shows a circular arc shape. Thelid 6 has similar roundededges 18 corresponding to therounded edges 16, respectively. As seen fromFIG. 1 , in the container closed with thelid 6, eachrounded edge 16 is in alignment with the corresponding roundededge 18 so that they constitute a longitudinal edge of thepackage 1. As will be described later, theinner frame 10 has two roundededges 24. - To obtain the
cigarette package 1 with rounded edges, the present invention provides a manufacturing method described below. - The
cigarette package 1 is formed by folding a sheet-shaped blank 3 (seeFIG. 3 ). The blank 3 hastransverse fold lines 5 formed to make the blank 3 easy to fold at intended locations. The blank 3 is, in advance, cut into a desired shape so that the blank 3 can be formed into the intended box shape by folding. The blank 3 is formed by a known blank forming process. It is to be noted that in the blank forming step, fold lines for forming the longitudinal edges (referred to as “longitudinal fold lines”) are not formed. - In the present invention, a score line forming step is performed, in which score
lines 7 are formed in each scoreline forming area 8 of the blank 3, which is an area to be folded into a longitudinal edge of thebox 1, that is, an area in which normally a longitudinal fold line is formed, to extend in the direction in which the edge should extend. The score lines 7 are formed on that side of the blank which is to form the outer surface of thebox 1. In other words, the scorelines forming areas 8 are on that side of the blank which is to form the outer side of the box, so that thescore lines 7 are formed only on that side of the blank. - In the score line forming step, the forming of the
score lines 7 causes grooves 9 (seeFIG. 5 ) to be produced on the back side of each score line forming area, along thescore lines 7, through plastic deformation. In other words, although thescore lines 7 are formed only on that side of the blank 3 which is to form the outer surface of thebox 1 as mentioned above, the forming of thescore liens 7 on one side of the blank simultaneously and automatically causes the production ofgrooves 9 on the other side of the blank through plastic deformation. Such production of thegrooves 9 is brought on by using acutting device 11 as shown inFIG. 4 . The cuttingdevice 11 is a rotary die cutter having tenparallel blades 13 at approximately 0.8 mm intervals, for example. The score lines 7 andgrooves 9 are formed by pressing each scoreline forming area 8 with theblades 13. Specifically,score lines 7 are formed on one side of the blank 3 by pressing the scoreline forming area 8 with theblades 13. During this step, when the blades penetrate to a certain depth, the blank is pulled on to either side of eachscore line 7 and plastically deformed.Grooves 9 are thus automatically formed on the back side of the scoreline forming area 8, at positions corresponding to thebottoms 7 a of the score lines 7. Thegrooves 9 extend along thescore lines 7 as mentioned above. More specifically, thegrooves 9 develop along therespective score lines 7 in a manner corresponding to the respective score lines 7. The depth D of thescore lines 7 is 134.74 μm in the case that the blank is 307.97 μm thick, for example. The blank 3 with thegroove 8 produced this way does not undergo tensile stress pulling on the blank 3 to either side of eachgroove 9, and thus, does not undergo warping as a whole. The blank 3 thus retains its sheet shape, and can be steadily supplied to a packaging machine. From the blank thus prevented from warping, thepackage 1 can be formed without distortion. - During the blank forming step, a printed
layer 15 is formed on the side of the blank opposite to the score line forming area side to provide information about items to be contained in thebox 1 in a manner recognizable from the score line forming area side (outer surface of the formed box 1). Cutting work on the printedlayer 15 should be avoided as much as possible. Since the printedlayer 15 is on the side of the blank opposite to the scoreline forming area 8 side,score lines 7 are not formed directly on the printedlayer 15. When the blank 3 is made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), the blank 3 is easy to handle and easy to formscore lines 7 thereon. - The blank 3 for forming the
cigarette package 1 has the following configuration: - The blank 3 comprises a
main section 19 for forming thecontainer 2, extending in one direction (bottom-to-top direction inFIG. 3 ), and asub-section 20 for forming thelid 6, connected to an edge of themain section 19 which is to form thehinge 4. Themain section 19 includes a frontmain panel 21, abottom panel 22 and a rearmain panel 23 for forming afront wall 21 a, a bottom wall (not shown) and arear wall 23 a of thecontainer 2, aligned in the aforementioned direction and delimited by transverse fold lines 5. Further, outer and inner sidemain flaps container 2 are connected to either side of the frontmain panel 21 and of the rearmain panel 23. The main flaps 25, 26 are connected to their associatedmain panels line forming area 8. To each inner sidemain flap 26 is connected aninner bottom flap 33 by atransverse fold line 5. The inner bottom flaps 33 are members for reinforcing thebottom panel 22, and form an inner layer of the bottom wall of thecontainer 2. - The
sub-section 20 includes arear sub-panel 27, atop panel 28 and afront sub-panel 29 for forming arear wall 27 a, atop wall 28 a and afront wall 29 a of thelid 6, aligned in the aforementioned direction and delimited by transverse fold lines 5. Inner and outer side sub-flaps 30, 31 for forming an inner and an outer layer of each side wall of thelid 6 are connected to either side of therear sub-panel 27 and of thefront sub-panel 29. The sub-flaps 30, 31 are connected to their associated sub-panels 27, 29 by a scoreline forming area 8. To eachinner side sub-flap 30 is connected an innertop flap 32 by atransverse fold line 5. The inner top flaps 32 are members for reinforcing thetop panel 28, and form an inner layer of the top wall of thelid 6. - The score
line forming area 8 is thus provided between the frontmain panel 21 and the outer sidemain flap 25, between the rearmain panel 23 and the inner sidemain flap 26, between therear sub-panel 27 and theinner side sub-flap 30, and between thefront sub-panel 29 and theouter side sub-flap 31, each, so that the longitudinal edges of thebox 1 are all formed from the scoreline forming areas 8. The score lines 7 are formed in each scoreline forming area 8 as described above, and the resulting score-lined areas are each bent into a rounded edge. As a result, thebox 1 haslongitudinal edges - After the score line forming step, the blank is formed into the
box 1 by folding the blank with the surface withscore lines 7 outside, where each scoreline forming area 8 is bent utilizing thescore lines 7 so that the resultingcigarette package 1 has roundededges package 1 with the rounded edges is easy to hold and fits comfortably in the hand. WhileFIGS. 1 and 2 show a hinged lid package to which the present invention is applied, the present invention is applicable to a tongue lid package in a similar manner. - As shown in
FIG. 6 , taking into consideration the restoring force opposing the bending when the blank 3 is formed into thebox 1 by folding or bending, the scoreline forming areas 8 may include non-forming parts 34 in which thescore lines 7 are not formed. For example, the scoreline forming area 8 provided between the rearmain panel 23 and each inner sidemain flap 26 may include a triangularnon-forming part 34 a at the bottom panel 22-side end. The scoreline forming area 8 provided between therear sub-panel 27 and eachinner side sub-flap 30 may include a triangularnon-forming part 34 b at the top panel 28-side end, for example. The scoreline forming area 8 provided between the frontmain panel 21 and each outer sidemain flap 25 may include a rectangularnon-forming part 34 c at the bottom panel 22-side end, for example. - As shown in
FIG. 7 , the score line forming method according to the present invention is applied also to theinner frame 10. Specifically, a scoreline forming area 8 is provided between themain panel 17 and eachflap 35, and scorelines 7 are formed in each scoreline forming area 8 in the same way as described with respect to the blank 3. As a result, theinner frame 10 has rounded edges 24. -
