Abstract
A secondary package containing a plurality of primary packages of disposable absorbent articles. The secondary package being capable of hanging from a support member. The secondary package having a film-wrap which substantially encompasses the primary packages. The film-wrap having an opening adapted for the insertion of a support member for the hanging of said package.
Description
- The present invention relates to a secondary package for containing a plurality of primary packages of disposable absorbent articles. More specifically, the present invention relates to a secondary package for containing a plurality of primary packages of disposable absorbent articles which is being capable of hanging from a support member.
- Throughout many parts of the world, consumers purchase their consumer products at retail stores having relatively small retail space. Within these smaller retail stores, sometimes referred to as high frequency stores, consumers are often required to stand in front of the check-out counter and from a significant distance select their desired consumer products without actually coming into reach of said products. In order to accommodate such shopping experiences, many consumer products must be packaged substantially large in size in order for the consumer to visually identify them. Ironically, the need for substantially large sizes of products for visual identification creates a competing problem of occupying too much retail space within these already cramped high frequency stores. To further exasperate the problem, consumer products are often shipped to retailers in cardboard boxes which are later deconstructed and discarded. As such, these cardboard boxes often present additional temporary storage problems. Lastly, the actual shelf storage space within high frequency stores are obviously limited. To account for a limited amount of shelf storage space, some attempts within the prior art have been made to try to hang the consumer product from an outwardly-extending peg (much like traditional peg displays which are prevalent throughout the United States). In one known embodiment, a hole is made within the packaging of the consumer product and then said peg is inserted therethrough for hanging. So long as the consumer product is not substantially heavy, said hole-peg configuration is structurally viable. However, some consumer products are in fact substantially heavy, for example, disposable absorbent articles; as such, said prior attempts of hanging disposable absorbent articles have been limited to that of hanging individual primary packages, not larger secondary packages. While the hanging of individual primary packages of disposable absorbent articles may eliminate the need for actual storage shelves, their outwardly-extending storage from a peg-wall display often results in excessively large obstructions within the store or even structural failure. Furthermore, the creating of a hole into the major surface plane of the primary packaging material often results in relatively low load-bearing capacity.
- What is needed is a secondary packaging configuration for the efficient and visible storage of a plurality of primary packages of disposable absorbent articles. Furthermore, what is needed is a secondary packaging configuration for the efficient and visible storage of a plurality of primary packages of disposable absorbent articles which makes better use the existing packaging materials, which improves product identification from a distance, which improves hanging structural integrity, and which improves overall dispensing of the individual primary packages to the consumer.
- A secondary package containing a plurality of primary packages of disposable absorbent articles. The secondary package is capable of hanging from a support member. The secondary package includes a plurality of primary packages of disposable absorbent articles. The secondary package also includes a film-wrap which substantially encompasses the primary packages. The film-wrap has an opening adapted for the insertion of a support member for the hanging of the secondary package. The secondary package may also include a sleeve which provides additional structural rigidity for the hanging of the primary packages. The secondary package may also include a first perforation adapted to provide a dispensing orifice upon its tearing. The dispensing orifice being of sufficient size so as to permit a primary package of disposable absorbent articles to be removed from the secondary package. The secondary package may also include a first hole adjacent to the first perforation so as to provide an endpoint for the tearing of the perforation so as to control the resulting size of the dispensing orifice. The secondary package may also include a second perforation adapted to provide a first and second knot region capable of being tied into a knot for the subsequent formation of an opening. The opening being adapted for the insertion of the support member such that the secondary package may be hung therefrom. The secondary package may also include a second hole adjacent to the second perforation so as to provide an endpoint for the tearing of the second perforation in order to control the resulting length of the first and second knot regions.
- Alternatively, the secondary package may include an opening which is preformed. Such an opening may be formed by the relative positioning of a first peak surface and a second peak surface.
- Alternatively, a handle may be attached to a top portion of the film-wrap. The handle may include attachment means and a grip portion. The attachment means may be affixed to said top portion of the film-wrap. The grip portion may provide both hanging and carrying functionality.
- The opening which is adapted for the insertion of a support member for the hanging of said package may have a width of at least 2.54 cm. The opening may have a width dimension preferably greater than 10% of said product width dimension, more preferably greater than 50% of said product width dimension and most preferably greater than 90% of said product width dimension.
- The disposable absorbent articles may be disposable diapers. The diapers may be pant-like.
