System for packing and sealing a data medium cover

Abstract

A system for packing and sealing a data medium cover includes a collapsible package having front and rear panels configured for sandwiching the cover therebetween, and two end walls interconnecting the front and rear walls for defining, in an uncollapsed state, a sleeve for receiving the cover through an open end. The front panel has at the open end an adhesive contacting area. A sealing label is provided, having on one surface an adhesive coating for permanently adhering to the adhesive contacting area and for releasably adhering to the cover. The label extends from the adhesive contacting area around an exposed end wall of the cover and along the one surface of the cover, being juxtaposed with the rear panel when the cover is received within the package for contacting the one surface of the cover and adhering thereto at a position behind the rear panel.

1 . A system for packing and sealing a data medium cover, comprising: a collapsible package comprising opposite front and rear panels being substantially coextensive with the major surfaces of said data medium cover for sandwiching said data medium cover therebetween, and two end walls interconnecting said front and rear walls for defining in an uncollapsed state a sleeve for receiving said data medium cover through an open end of said sleeve, said front panel of said collapsible package having at said open end an adhesive contacting area, and a sealing label having on its one surface an adhesive coating for permanently adhering to said adhesive contacting area of said front panel of said collapsible package for permanently adhering thereto and for releasable adhering to said data medium cover, said sealing label having a length allowing said sealing label to extend from said adhesive contacting area of said front panel of said collapsible package round an exposed end wall of said data medium cover and along the one surface of said data medium cover being positioned juxtaposed said rear panel of said collapsible package when said data medium cover being received within said collapsible package in said uncollapsed stage for contacting said one surface of said data medium cover and adhering thereto at a position hidden behind said rear panel of said collapsible package.  
   
   
       2 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one of said front panel and said rear panel has through-going perforations defining a central area thereof for the exposure of a substantial surface part of said data medium cover received within said package through the removal of said central area along said through-going perforations.  
   
   
       3 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein said at least one of said front panel and said rear panel has a central window defined by a cut-line in said at least one of said front panel and said rear panel, respectively.  
   
   
       4 . The system according to  claim 1 , said collapsible package further comprising one or more additional panels being substantially coextensive with at least one of said front and rear panels and being connected to at least one of said front and rear panels through hinged parts for the provision of one or more cover panels collapsible into contact with said at least one of said front and rear panels.  
   
   
       5 . The system according to  claim 1 , said sealing label being provided with a plurality of through-going cuts for providing a tamper proof structure which disintegrates into a multiplicity of separate sealing label parts provided an attempt be made for the removal of said sealing label from its permanent adhesion to said adhesive contacting area of said front panel of said collapsible package.  
   
   
       6 . The system according to  claim 1 , said collapsible package being made from cardboard and said sealing label being constituted by an adhesive tape having a supporting plastic foil and said adhesive coating being applied to the one face thereof.  
   
   
       7 . A system for packing and sealing a data medium cover having first and second opposed major surfaces, comprising: 
 a collapsible package comprising opposite front and rear panels being substantially coextensive with the major surfaces of said data medium cover for sandwiching said data medium cover therebetween, and two end walls interconnecting said front and rear walls for defining in an uncollapsed state a sleeve for receiving said data medium cover through an open end of said sleeve, at least one of said front and rear panels having a central aperture defined by a cut line through said panel for exposing a wall of a data medium cover received within said sleeve and exposed within a circumferential rim part of said wall, said panel of said collapsible package having at said rim part adjacent to said window at least one adhesive contacting area, and    a sealing label having on its one surface an adhesive coating for permanently adhering to said adhesive contacting area for permanently adhering thereto and for releasable adhering to said data medium cover exposed within said window.    
   
   
       8 . (cancelled)  
   
   
       9 . The system according to  claim 2 , wherein said at least one of said front panel and said rear panel has a central window defined by a cut-line in said at least one of said front panel and said rear panel, respectively.  
   
   
       10 . The system according to  claim 7 , wherein at least one of said front panel and said rear panel has through-going perforations defining a central area thereof for the exposure of a substantial surface part of said data medium cover received within said package through the removal of said central area along said through-going perforations.  
   
   
       11 . The system according to  claim 7 , wherein said at least one of said front panel and said rear panel has a central window defined by a cut-line in said at least one of said front panel and said rear panel, respectively.  
   
   
       12 . The system according to  claim 10 , wherein said at least one of said front panel and said rear panel has a central window defined by a cut-line in said at least one of said front panel and said rear panel, respectively.  
   
   
       13 . The system according to  claim 7 , said collapsible package further comprising one or more additional panels being substantially coextensive with at least one of said front and rear panels and being connected to at least one of said front and rear panels through hinged parts for the provision of one or more cover panels collapsible into contact with said at least one of said front and rear panels.  
   
   
       14 . The system according to  claim 7 , said sealing label being provided with a plurality of through-going cuts for providing a tamper proof structure which disintegrates into a multiplicity of separate sealing label parts provided an attempt be made for the removal of said sealing label from its permanent adhesion to said adhesive contacting area of said front panel of said collapsible package.  
   
   
       15 . The system according to  claim 7 , said collapsible package being made from cardboard and said sealing label being constituted by an adhesive tape having a supporting plastic foil and said adhesive coating being applied to the one face thereof.
