Method for treating the open cut edges of packaging material for the production of cardboard/plastic composite packages, and a packaging material, a composite package produced therefrom, and a container for accommodating packaging material
The invention relates to a method for treating open cut edges (S) of a packaging jacket, of a blank, or of a web good of a packaging material rolled up into a roll, in particular of cardboard/plastic composite material, by applying a treatment agent having a sterilizing agent to or introducing said treatment agent into the outer area of the cut edges. In order to provide an especially resource-sparing composite packaging and a production method required therefor, at least part of the treatment agent, according to the invention, is not applied directly to the cut edges, but rather a load carrier (9) is loaded, which load carrier accommodates the treatment agent, such that an arising actively sterilizing atmosphere then acts on the open cut edges (S) of the packaging jacket, of the blank, or of the web good and performs the desired sterilization. The invention further relates to a packaging material, to a composite package produced therefrom, and to a container for accommodating the packaging material.
