Abstract
A packaging body is designed such that plate-shaped products can be stacked therein in a stacking direction. An antenna is fitted to the packaging body. The antenna is in the form of a coil having coil windings. The coil windings are flat along the packaging body. The coil through-opening surface is aligned at an angle of less than 90° with respect to the stacking direction. The coil windings, which surround the opening surface, extend along one or more packaging body surfaces, which run at an angle with respect to the opening surface.
Claims24
An identifiable packaging comprising:
- a packaging body designed such that plate-shaped products can be stacked therein parallel to one another in a stacking direction;
- and
- a transponder antenna connected with the packaging body, the transponder antenna capable of transmitting energy and identification signals to identify the packaging, the transponder antenna having a coil with coil windings, the coil windings disposed along a coil through-opening surface and flat along the packaging body, the coil through-opening surface aligned at an angle of less than 90° with respect to the stacking direction, at least some of the coil windings that surround the coil through-opening surface extending along one or more packaging body surfaces disposed at an angle with respect to the coil through-opening surface.
An identification system comprising:
- an identifiable packaging including:
- a packaging body designed such that plate-shaped products can be stacked therein parallel to one another in a stacking direction, and
- a transponder antenna connected with the packaging body, the transponder antenna capable of transmitting energy and identification signals to identify the packaging, the transponder antenna having a coil with coil windings, the coil windings disposed along a coil through-opening surface and flat along the packaging body, the coil through-opening surface aligned at an angle of less than 90° with respect to the stacking direction, at least some of the coil windings that surround the coil through-opening surface extending along one or more packaging body surfaces disposed at an angle with respect to the coil through-opening surface;
- and
- a read device, from which a radiofrequency signal can be transmitted to the transponder antenna and by which an identification code radiofrequency signal, transmitted by the transponder antenna, can be received and evaluated with identification of the packaging.
