Blister package

A device for laser-induced marking of an article having a marking surface comprising a non-flat portion to be marked, the device comprising: a first laser unit for emitting and scanning first laser light over a first transfer area; a first foil unit for providing a first laser transfer foil at the first transfer area; a carrier for providing the article at the first transfer area, the article having a marking surface comprising a non-flat surface area; a first hard adaptor that is transparent for the first laser light, the first hard adapter having a first contacting surface that is essentially a negative of the non-flat surface area of the marking surface; and a contacting unit for bringing the first laser transfer foil in contact with the marking surface by causing the first contacting surface to move one of the first laser transfer foil and the marking surface towards one another.

Method of laser induced marking of an article

A package kit for storing a plurality of products includes a primary package and a secondary package. The primary package has a plurality of individually sealed and separately detachable cavities. The secondary package is sandwiched between a back panel and a front panel of the secondary package. The front panel includes a first aperture and a second aperture for displaying at least a portion of the primary package. A first outer circumferential portion at least partially surrounds the first aperture, and a second outer circumferential portion at least partially surrounds the second aperture. The front panel includes an elevated portion disposed between the apertures and extending from the first and second outer circumferential portions.

Package for storing a plurality of products

A method and device for laser-induced marking. The method comprises providing an article having a marking surface including a non-flat area, providing a first laser transfer foil, providing a first laser unit for emitting first laser light, providing a first hard adaptor that is essentially transparent to the first laser light, the first hard adaptor having a contacting surface that essentially is a negative of at least a part of the marking surface of the article, contacting the first laser transfer foil with the marking surface of the article by the first hard adaptor such that the first laser transfer foil is arranged between the marking surface of the article and the contacting surface of the first hard adaptor, and irradiating the first laser light through the first hard adaptor onto the first laser transfer foil. The device comprises a first laser unit for emitting and scanning first laser light over a first transfer area, a first foil unit for providing a first laser transfer foil at the first transfer area, a carrier for providing an article at the first transfer area, the article having a marking surface comprising a non-flat surface area, a first hard adaptor that is transparent for the first laser light, the first hard adapter having a first contacting surface that is essentially a negative of the non-flat surface area of the marking surface, and a contacting unit for bringing the first laser transfer foil in contact with the marking surface by causing the first contacting surface to move one of the first laser transfer foil and the marking surface towards one another.

A package kit includes a plurality of primary packages, each having a cavity for storing one of a plurality of products, and a secondary package that stores the plurality of primary packages and includes a back and front panels between which the primary packages are sandwiched. The front panel has a first row of apertures, each displaying at least a portion of a primary package. A first outer circumferential portion of the front panel partially surrounds the apertures and is attached to the back panel, and a second outer circumferential portion of the front panel is attached to the back panel. The front panel includes an elevated portion between the first and second outer circumferential portions. The first outer circumferential portion has a first and second limbs, and the second outer circumferential portion has a third and fourth limbs. The elevated portion extends from, and is hingeably connected to, the first, second, third, and fourth limbs.

The invention relates to an injection molded part with a basic bodyinjection-molded from plastic, on the surfaceof which a decorationis two-dimensionally applied and is covered by an encapsulationof plastic by a second injection-molding operation. The basic bodyconsists of a transparent plastic and the decorationis applied with its visible sideto the surfaceof the basic body
