Packaging for a Group of At Least Two Containers Made of Plastics Material

摘要

The containers are thermoformed in groups, filled, and closed. Then, the containers are separated, and placed adjacent to one another in such a manner that segments of their respective rims face each other and define between them a line of separation. On said line, at least one spot weld is formed that forms a breakable connection between the facing rim segments.

主权项

1. A method of forming, filling, and sealing a group of at least two containers made of plastics material, which method comprises: thermoforming containers from the same sheet of plastics material, each of which containers has a body and a rim that defines an opening; filling the containers; closing the containers by placing lids across their openings; and separating the containers by cutting them out individually from the sheet;
wherein, after the containers have been separated, the method further consists in: placing the containers adjacent to one another in such a manner that segments of their respective rims face each other and define between them a line of separation between the adjacent containers; and, on the line of separation, forming at least one spot weld forming a breakable connection between the facing rim segments.
