Primary packaging for receiving at least one product, in particular a food product

Abstract

The invention is based on a primary packaging, in particular a primary paper packaging, for receiving at least one product (12), in particular a food product, with at least one enveloping unit (14), which in particular comes into contact with the product (12) directly, in particular a tubular bag; the enveloping unit (14), in particular the tubular bag, comprising at least one barrier layer (16) for a protection of the received product (12), in particular from humidity, and comprising at least one carrier layer (18), in particular paper layer, which is connected with the barrier layer (16), in particular by substance-to-substance bond.It is proposed that the primary packaging comprises at least one functional unit (20), which is in particular embodied in a one-part implementation with the enveloping unit (14), for a protection of the enveloping unit (14) and/or of the received product (12) from damages.

1 .- 6 . (canceled) 
     
     
         7 . A packaging machine for production and/or for transport of a primary paper packaging for receiving at least one product, wherein the primary paper packaging comprises at least one enveloping unit and at least one functional unit for protection of the enveloping unit and/or the received product from damage, wherein the enveloping unit comprising at least one barrier layer for protection of the received product and comprising at least one carrier layer, which is connected with the barrier layer, wherein the packaging machine comprises at least one transport unit, which is configured such that during a transport, the primary paper packaging is supported at least in a region of a fold triangle of the enveloping unit and/or a fin of the enveloping unit is bent, arched and/or folded around at least one axis, wherein the transport unit includes a gripper unit, which is configured, by a form-fit and/or force-fit connection, to lift the primary paper packaging from a product feeding unit of the packaging machine and to convey the primary paper packaging to a secondary packaging. 
     
     
         8 . A method for production and/or for transport of the primary paper packaging by the packaging machine according to  claim 7 , characterized in that in at least one method step, during a transport, the primary paper packaging is supported, at least in the region of a fold triangle of the enveloping unit, and/or the fin of the enveloping unit is bent, arched and/or folded around at least one axis. 
     
     
         9 . (canceled) 
     
     
         10 . A method for production and/or for transport of the primary paper packaging by the packaging machine according to  claim 8 , characterized in that in at least one method step, during a laying-in into a secondary packaging, the fin of the enveloping unit of the primary paper packaging is bent, arched and/or folded around an axis as a result from a contact with an inner wall of the secondary packaging and, a pivoting movement of the primary paper packaging is effected, in which a further fin of the enveloping unit of the primary paper packaging is bent, arched and/or folded around a further axis. 
     
     
         11 . The method according to  claim 8 , characterized in that in at least one method step, during a laying-in into a secondary packaging, the fin of the enveloping unit of the primary paper packaging is bent, arched and/or folded around an axis as a result from a contact with an inner wall of the secondary packaging and, a folding of an outer wall of the secondary packaging is effected in which a further fin of the enveloping unit of the primary paper packaging is bent, arched and/or folded around a further axis. 
     
     
         12 . The method according to  claim 8 , characterized in that in at least one method step the primary paper packaging and at least one further primary paper packaging are arranged in a secondary packaging in a shingled or cross-wise manner in such a way that fins of the primary paper packaging and of the further primary paper packaging are arranged essentially overlap-free or contact-free. 
     
     
         13 . A method for production and/or for transport of the primary paper packaging by the packaging machine according to  claim 7 , characterized in that in at least one method step, during a laying-in into a secondary packaging, the fin of the enveloping unit of the primary paper packaging is bent, arched and/or folded around an axis as a result from a contact with an inner wall of the secondary packaging and, a folding of an outer wall of the secondary packaging is effected in which a further fin of the enveloping unit of the primary paper packaging is bent, arched and/or folded around a further axis. 
     
     
         14 . The packaging machine of  claim 7 , wherein the packaging machine is a tubular bag packaging machine. 
     
     
         15 . The packaging machine of  claim 7 , wherein the transport unit transports the primary paper packaging into a secondary packaging.
