ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention refers to an envelope-type container, in particular for stockings and the like.
At present, for the packaging of products of substantially limited dimensions, such as stockings, envelope-type packagings are frequently used.
Usually these packagings consist of a basically plane sheet, for instance made of cardboard and/or card, dinked and folded back on itself to confine the product, such as stockings. The envelope containing the product is then inserted into an envelope of transparent material, such as cellophane or the like.
The envelope envisages an opening, set along one side, which can be re-closed by a closing flap. The envelope can be closed by folding the flap back and blocking it outside the envelope using adhesive or an adhesive label. This closing flap thus prevents accessibility to the inside of the envelope.
Such envelopes notoriously involve very big problems as regards opening. In fact, to open the envelope, it is necessary to remove the closing flap from the external surface of the envelope. This operation frequently causes damage to the envelope itself, and consequently the impossibility of its further use.
It should be further borne in mind that such envelope-type packages are extremely flat and do not allow the product to be adequately displayed unless the packages are simply rested on a plane surface or against supporting elements.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the drawbacks presented by the known art, making an envelope-type container, in particular for stockings or the like, which can be opened in a basically simple and quick way.
Another purpose of the invention is to make an envelope-type container that can be opened in quite a simple way, in particular without any great risk of its getting damaged.
Another purpose of the invention is to make an envelope-type container that is simple and secure.
A further purpose of the invention is to make an envelope-type container that can be set in a position of vertical display, and not simply rested on a plane surface or against something else.
These and other purposes, according to the present invention, are achieved by making an envelope-type container, in particular for stockings and the like, according to claim
