Abstract
The invention relates to the packaging of one or more articles in a packaging sheet material which is moveable from a first condition to a second, expanded, condition to improve the packaging effect of the sheet material. In accordance with the invention the sheet material includes a first portion with apertures which can be moved to an open position to create the second, expanded, condition and at least one, but typically a plurality of spaced apart, second portions which have no apertures, or a different shape and/or pattern of apertures than the apertures of the first portion, so as to form a surface of the said second portion more suitable for the application of a label and/or indications thereon when the sheet material is in the second expanded condition.
Claims1
A packaging material formed from at least one layer of sheet material, said sheet material having a first portion with a plurality of apertures formed in a predefined and repeating pattern on said sheet material such that, when a movement force is applied in at least one direction to the said sheet material, an opening effect is applied to at least some of said apertures and moves the sheet material from a first condition to a second, expanded, condition, wherein the sheet material includes at least one second portion which is provided with no apertures, or a different shape and/or pattern of apertures than the apertures of the first portion, so as to form a surface of the said second portion suitable for the application of a label and/or indications thereon when the sheet material is in the second expanded condition.
