Abstract
A foil packaging for soft food masses includes a container film shape-formed into the form of an open container and a lidding film which is sealed onto the container film closing the container with a lid. The container film and lidding film are multi-layered and one of the layers is an aluminum foil, which is optionally pre-lacquered and if desired printed on and lacquer-coated on one side. The aluminum foil of the container film and the lidding film is coated with a polymer and a hot-sealing lacquer is provided on the polymer layer of the container film. The polymer, optionally coated with hot-sealing lacquer, may be situated on the sealing side of the aluminum foil of the lidding film, and a corrosion protection layer, if desired in the form of a polymer, is provided on the other side of the aluminum foil. Alternatively, the aluminum foil of the lidding film may be coated on the sealing side with hot-sealing lacquer and the polymer layer, optionally coated with hot-sealing lacquer, is situated on the other side of the aluminum foil.
Description
- The invention relates to a film-type form of packaging for soft foodstuffs, having a container film shaped into the form of an open container featuring a hot-sealing layer and a lidding film which is sealed onto the hot-sealing layer of the container film and closes the container with a lid, whereby the container film and the lidding film are multi-layered and one of the layers is an aluminium foil which is optionally pre-lacquered on one side and if desired is printed on and lacquered over.
- Known are film-type forms of packaging made of coated aluminium foils for packaging small portions of soft cheese or melting cheese in the form of cubes, triangles, tetrahedrons and other designs suitable for packaging small portions of soft contents, such as are served as snacks along with aperitifs. In a packaging machine the cheese is poured in portions in a molten or pasty state into open containers of shaped container film. After laying lids of lidding film onto the contents in the open container, the lids are tightly hot-sealed onto the container along a peripheral strip of container edge which is bent inwards towards the lid.
- Up to now the kinds of aluminium foils employed for the film-type forms of packaging mentioned above were coated with a lacquer-type primer to protect aluminium from corrosion and to improve adhesion of the hot-sealing lacquer. With this measure, however, it is not always possible to avoid unattractive surface corrosion of the aluminium foil due to migration of corrosion-promoting substances in the cheese through the lacquer layers.
- The object of the present invention is to provide a film-type form of packaging of the kind mentioned at the start in which the aluminium foil is effectively protected against corrosion and good bonding with hot-sealing lacquers is provided.
- That objective is achieved by way of the invention in that the aluminium foil of the container film and the lidding film is coated with a polymer layer, whereby the hot-sealing layer is situated on the polymer layer on the container film and, alternatively,
- a) the polymer, optionally coated with hot-sealing lacquer, is situated on the sealing side of the aluminium foil of the lidding film, and a corrosion protect-ion layer, if desired in the form of an polymer, is provided on the other side of the aluminium foil, or
- b) the aluminium foil of the lidding film is coated on the sealing side with hot-sealing lacquer and the, optionally hot-sealing lacquer coated, polymer layer is situated on the other side of the aluminium foil.
- The polymer layer is preferably a ionomer layer. The essential advantage of the ionomer layer over a conventional lacquer-based primer is that very thin films can be produced that exhibit high mechanical stability and effectively protect the underlying aluminium foil against corrosion. Further, the thin ionomer layer forms an excellent primer for hot-sealing layers.
- The hot-sealing lacquer is advantageously a low-temperature sealing lacquer, i.e., a sealing layer that seals already at temperatures from 50° C. upwards.
- The aluminium foil of the container film and the lidding film is preferably coated with 1 to 10 g/m2, in particular 2 to 8 g/m2 of polymer.
- The thickness of the aluminium foil of the container film and the lidding film is preferably about 5 to 15 μm, in particular about 6 to 12 μm.
- The polymer is preferably a polyolefin, such as polyethylene or polypropylene, or a ionomer, such as an ethylene/acrylic acid/zinc or sodium ionomer or a zinc-acrylate ter-ionomer. A suitable ionomer is the product known by the trade name Surlyn 1857.
- The film-type form of packaging according to the invention is particularly suitable for packaging soft foodstuffs, especially in the form of blocks or cubes. Suitable soft foodstuffs, apart from soft cheese and melting cheese are e.g. sweets.
- The aluminium foil of the film-type packaging according to the invention shows excellent dead fold properties which are necessary with packaging of the aforementioned kind.
- The film-type packaging according to the invention may be provided with opening aids known in the art, such as tear strips or threads, or by a film orientated in the tear direction.
- Further advantages, features and details of the invention are revealed in the following description of preferred exemplified embodiments and with the aid of the drawing, which shows schematically in
