Abstract
A rectangular blank has sides X and Y, where a and b are side dimensions, h is height, and r is width, or width reduced by height h, of the periphery region R of the finished packaging. The method includes: producing folding lines B in the blank parallel to side Y at these distances from the latter: B1: a1=h; B2: a2=h+a; B3: a3=2h+a; severing of two severing lines T, each starting from opposite sides X, along one of the folding lines B, or the extension thereof; selecting the distance between two end points ET of the severing lines T which are closer to an axis of symmetry S1 parallel to the side X, such that the distance corresponds to a side B″ of the finished packaging or length of a side M of a packaging insert.
Claims14
A method for producing a reusable packaging from a carton, in which a rectangular main blank with sides X and Y and an overall area xy is provided and
- 2(a+h)≤x≤3(a+h)+a
- and
- y−2(h+r)≤b≤y,
- wherein x and y respectively correspond to lengths of sides X and Y of the blank, a and b correspond to side dimensions of a footprint area of a finished packaging formed from the blank, h corresponds to a height of the finished packaging, and r corresponds to a width reduced by the height h of a periphery region R of the finished packaging that forms a cavity in the finished packaging and is accessible from outside the finished packaging, and the method comprises the following further steps:
- producing folding lines Bn in the main blank parallel to the side Y at least at the following distances from the side Y:
- B1:
- a1=h
- B2:
- a2=h+a
- B3:
- a3=2h+a
- B4:
- a4=2 (h+a)
- B5:
- a5=2 (h+a)+h,
- wherein an insert E, which is a terminal insert in relation to opposite sides X, is severed from side faces adjacent to the opposite sides X by virtue of severing two severing lines T5, starting from the opposite sides X, along the folding line B5 or an extension thereof, such that a distance between two inner end points ET of the severing lines T5 corresponds to a length m of a side M of the insert E.
