Abstract

The invention specifies a blister pack ( 1 ) with a radio-frequency identification device ( 2, 2′ ) which comprises—a support body ( 3 ) which is made of flat plastic material and which has a plurality of depressions ( 5 ), produced from deforming this material, within a planar region ( 4 ) for the purpose of holding the packed goods,—an aluminium sealing foil ( 7 ) which is connected flat to the planar region ( 4 ) of the support body ( 3 ), and—a radio-frequency identification device ( 2, 2′ ) which is fitted in the region ( 8 ) of the support body ( 3 ) which projects over the aluminium sealing foil ( 7 ).

Claims (27)

1 . Blister pack ( 1 ) with radio frequency identification means ( 2 , 2 ′) comprising the following:

a carrier body ( 3 ) of flat plastic material which has several depressions ( 5 ) produced by deformation of this material within a plane region ( 4 ) for holding the packaged article,

an aluminum sealing foil ( 7 ) which is connected flat to the plane region ( 4 ) of the carrier body, ( 3 ) and

a radio frequency identification means ( 2 , 2 ′) which is attached in the region ( 8 ) of the carrier body ( 3 ) projecting over the aluminum sealing foil ( 7 ).

2 . Blister pack as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the radio frequency identification means ( 2 , 2 ′) is a radio frequency identification transponder.

3 . Blister pack as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the radio frequency identification means ( 2 , 2 ′) is attached to the same side as the depressions ( 5 ).

4 . Blister pack as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the radio frequency identification means ( 2 , 2 ′) is attached to side opposite the depressions ( 5 ).

5 . Blister pack as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the radio frequency identification means ( 2 , 2 ′) is spaced apart from the aluminum sealing foil ( 7 ).

6 . Blister pack as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the carrier body ( 3 ) is a plastic film or plastic film composite.

7 . Blister pack as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the plastic film(s) consist of polyvinylchloride (PVC) and/or polypropylene (PP).

8 . Blister pack as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the plastic film(s) has (have) a thickness from 0.1 to 0.5 mm.

9 . Blister pack as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the aluminum sealing foil ( 7 ) has a. thickness from 0.01 to 0.05 mm.

10 . Blister pack as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the aluminum sealing foil ( 7 ) is connected to the plane region ( 4 ) of the carrier body ( 3 ) via a hot adhesive varnish layer ( 6 ).

11 . Process for producing a blister pack ( 1 ) with radio frequency identification ( 2 , 2 ′) as claimed in claim 1 , comprising the following process steps:

producing a carrier body ( 3 ) from flat plastic material, depressions ( 5 ) being formed within the plane region ( 4 ) by deep drawing,

filling of the carrier body ( 3 ) with the packaged article which is placed within the depressions ( 5 ),

producing the aluminum sealing foil ( 7 ) and subsequently sealing it in the plane region ( 4 ) of the carrier body ( 3 ) and

attachment of a radio frequency identification means ( 2 , 2 ′) to the region ( 8 ) of the carrier body ( 3 ) projecting over the aluminum sealing foil ( 7 ).

12 . Process as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the radio frequency identification means ( 2 , 2 ′) is a radio frequency identification transponder.

13 . Process as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the radio frequency identification means ( 2 ) is attached to the same side as the depressions ( 5 ) of the carrier body ( 3 ).

14 . Process as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the radio frequency identification means ( 2 ′) is attached to the side opposite the depressions ( 5 ) of the carrier material ( 3 ).

15 . Process as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the radio frequency identification means ( 2 , 2 ′) is applied spaced apart from the aluminum sealing foil ( 7 ).

16 . Process as claimed in claim 11 , wherein a plastic film or plastic film composite is used to produce the carrier body ( 3 ).

17 . Process as claimed in claim 16 , wherein polyvinylchloride (PVC) and/or polypropylene (PP) film is used as the plastic film(s).

18 . Process as claimed in claim 16 or 17 claim 16 , wherein the plastic film(s) has (have) a thickness from 0.1 to 0.5 mm.

19 . Process as claimed in claim 11 , wherein an aluminum foil with a thickness from 0.01 to 0.05 mm is used to produce the aluminum sealing foil ( 7 ).

20 . Process as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the aluminum sealing foil ( 7 ) is connected to the plane region ( 4 ) of the carrier body ( 3 ) via a hot adhesive varnish layer ( 6 ).
