  • Patent number: 11866235
    Abstract: A blank for producing a three-dimensional structure, from paper, cardboard, or plastic, includes at least three lateral surfaces and at least one bottom and/or top tab for forming the three-dimensional structure in a folded state of the blank. At least two of the lateral surfaces and/or at least one of the lateral surfaces having the bottom and/or cover tab being connected to one another by means of at least one mechanically produced creasing line. The creasing line is produced without ablation or other removal of material from the blank, at least one groove being produced by means of a laser within at least one of the lateral surfaces connected by means of the creasing line. The groove being configured to run at an angle to the creasing line and impinging on or intersecting the creasing line. A three-dimensional structure and a folding box produced from the blank are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20210114765
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a blank for a packaging item having a cellulose-containing base material with at least one line from the group of folding, crease, cutting, scored and/or bending lines, wherein the at least one line is defined at least in sections by the application of water and/or of at least one hygroscopic substance to the base material. The invention also relates to a blank for producing a packaging item including a cellulose-containing base material having at least one line from the group of folding, crease, cutting, scored and/or bending lines, wherein the at least one line is defined at least in sections by water and/or by at least one hygroscopic substance applied to the base material. The invention further relates to a method for producing a packaging item from a blank of this type, and to a corresponding packaging item for storing goods.
