Combination packaging and method for producing same

Abstract

A combination packaging includes an inner packaging having first side walls, which can be erected from a flat into an erected state, and an outer packaging having second side walls, which can be erected from a flat state into an erected state. The outer packaging has at least one closable lid and one closable bottom, which are articulated to the second side walls and can be folded in into a closed state. The inner and outer packaging are arranged such that they can be jointly transferred into the erected state. The outer packaging, in the erected and closed state thereof, encloses the inner packaging. At least one connecting element connects the inner packaging to the outer packaging, the connecting element having a predetermined breaking point arranged such that erecting of the combination packaging, closing of the inner packaging, or opening of the outer packaging severs the predetermined breaking point.

1 . Combination packaging, comprising:
 inner packaging, comprising a plurality of first side walls, wherein the inner packaging can be erected from a flat state, in which the first side walls are arranged to be substantially in parallel with one another, into an erected state, in which the first side walls form an acute, right, or obtuse angle to one another; and   outer packaging, comprising a plurality of second side walls, wherein the outer packaging can be erected from a flat state, in which the second side walls are arranged to be substantially in parallel with one another, into an erected state, in which the second side walls form an acute, right, or obtuse angle to one another;   wherein the outer packaging further comprises at least one closeable cover and a closeable base that are hinged on the second side walls and can be folded into a closed state for the purpose of closing the outer packaging;   wherein the inner packaging and the outer packaging are arranged on top of one another, such that the inner packaging and the outer packaging can be transferred together from the flat state into the erected state,   wherein the outer packaging surrounds the inner packaging substantially from all sides in the erected and closed state thereof,   wherein at least one connecting element is provided which, in the flat state of the combination packaging, rigidly connects the inner packaging to the outer packaging, and   wherein the at least one connecting element comprises at least one predetermined breaking point that is arranged such that the at least one predetermined breaking point is separated either by erecting the combination packaging from the flat state into the erected state, by closing the inner packaging, or by opening the outer packaging.   
     
     
         2 . The combination packaging according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one predetermined breaking point of the connecting element comprises a separable adhesive connection. 
     
     
         3 . The combination packaging according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one predetermined breaking point of the connecting element comprises a perforation. 
     
     
         4 . The combination packaging according to  claim 1 , wherein the inner packaging further comprises a closeable cover and/or a closeable base comprising at least one tab which that is hinged to a first side wall and can be folded into a closed state in order to close the inner packaging, and
 wherein the connecting element connects the tab to the outer packaging, such that folding in of the tab in the closed state brings about separation of the tab from the outer packaging.   
     
     
         5 . The combination packaging according to  claim 4 , wherein the connecting element connects the tab to the cover and/or base of the outer packaging. 
     
     
         6 . The combination packaging according to  claim 4 , wherein the connecting element comprises an adhesive tab that is integrally connected to the tab and is separably connected to the tab by means of a perforation, the adhesive tab being adhesively connected to the outer packaging. 
     
     
         7 . The combination packaging according to  claim 1 , wherein the connecting element comprises an adhesive tab that is integrally connected to the cover or the base of the outer packaging, and that is separably connected to the cover or to the base by means of a perforation, the adhesive tab being adhesively connected to the inner packaging. 
     
     
         8 . The combination packaging according to  claim 1 , wherein an opening element for opening the outer packaging is provided, the connecting element connecting the opening element to the inner packaging such that the opening element is separated from the inner packaging by opening the outer packaging by means of the opening element. 
     
     
         9 . The combination packaging according to  claim 8 , wherein the opening element comprises a tear-off strip, a removable adhesive strip, and/or a perforation. 
     
     
         10 . The combination packaging according to  claim 8 , wherein the opening element is arranged peripherally on the outer packaging and this is divided into two parts which can be removed from the inner packaging in the manner of a sliding box. 
     
     
         11 . Production method for a combination packaging according to  claim 1 , said method having the steps of:
 providing a blank for inner packaging, comprising a plurality of first side walls, wherein the inner packaging can be erected from a flat state, in which the first side walls are arranged to be substantially in parallel with one another, into an erected state, in which the first side walls form an acute, right, or obtuse angle to one another   providing a blank for outer packaging, comprising a plurality of second side walls, wherein the outer packaging can be erected from a flat state, in which the second side walls are arranged to be substantially in parallel with one another, into an erected state, in which the second side walls form an acute, right, or obtuse angle to one another, the blank for the outer packaging further comprising at least one closeable cover and a closeable base that are hinged to the second side walls;   connecting the inner packaging to the outer packaging at at least one connection point, by means of a connecting element having a predetermined breaking point, such that the inner packaging and the outer packaging can be transferred together from the flat state into the erected state,   wherein the outer packaging surrounds the inner packaging substantially from all sides in the erected, closed state, and wherein the at least one predetermined breaking point is arranged such that the inner packaging is separated from the outer packaging either by erecting the combination packaging from the flat state into the erected state, by closing the inner packaging, or by opening the outer packaging.
