Description

1 / 29 “INDIVIDUALLY PACKAGED ABSORBENT ARTICLE” TECHNICAL FIELD

[001] The present invention relates to individually wrapped absorbent articles. FUNDAMENTALS OF THE TECHNIQUE

[002] Typically, absorbent articles, such as sanitary napkins, panty liners, incontinence pads and the like, are supplied in a state where an absorbent article is individually packaged in a package.

[003] Patent Document 1 discloses a technology in which a layer of carpet with an embossed pattern serving as the outermost layer is provided to the surface of a package that encloses an absorbent article, so that the frictional force of the package surface is increased, thereby preventing displacement of the load during stacking of packages for display. DOCUMENTS OF THE RELATED TECHNOLOGY PATENT DOCUMENTS

[004] Patent document 1: Publication No. 2020-196541 of the unexamined Japanese patent application SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED BY THE INVENTION

[005] For reasons of hygiene during storage, convenience in transport and the like, absorbent articles, such as sanitary napkins, panty liners, incontinence pads and the like, are supplied in packaging as individually wrapped absorbent articles, in each of which an absorbent article is individually wrapped with a wrapping sheet. As the wrapping sheet individually wraps an absorbent article, the use of the wrapping sheet increases the amount of waste generated after use, compared to the case where a wrapper is used. In recent years, the use of a paper material to constitute a wrapping sheet has been increasing. Petition 870250084390, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, pages 115 / 143 2 / 29 was promoted instead of a non-woven fabric or a plastic film of the related technique, in view of environmental concerns.

[006] The individually wrapped absorbent article described above is packaged in a state in which several individually wrapped absorbent articles are stacked. Especially in the case where paper with high surface smoothness is used as packaging sheet, it is likely that one individually wrapped absorbent article will slip against another individually wrapped absorbent article when several individually wrapped absorbent articles are stacked and placed in a package, thus reducing production efficiency.

[007] The present invention was made in view of the problems described above existing in the related art, and one of the objectives of the present invention is to provide an individually packaged absorbent article that can prevent the reduction in production efficiency when several individually packaged absorbent articles are stacked and packed in one package. SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM

[008] To achieve the above objective, the present invention is directed to an individually wrapped absorbent article comprising a packaging sheet containing paper and an individually wrapped absorbent article with the packaging sheet. Anti-slip is provided to one surface of the individually wrapped absorbent article to come into contact with another individually wrapped absorbent article when multiple individually wrapped absorbent articles are stacked.

[009] In the present invention, as configured above, the anti-slip is provided to the surface of the individually packaged absorbent article to come into contact with another individually packaged absorbent article when multiple individually packaged absorbents are stacked and, therefore, it is less likely that the individually packaged absorbent article will slip against another individually packaged absorbent article when multiple individually packaged absorbents are stacked Petition 870250084390, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, pp. 116 / 143 3 / 29 individually packaged items are stacked and packed into one package, so that a reduction in production efficiency can be avoided.

[0010] In addition, the individually wrapped absorbent article can be configured so that an anti-slip agent is applied to an entire area of ​​an exposed surface of the wrapping sheet, which is exposed when the wrapping sheet individually wraps the absorbent article.

[0011] With the individually wrapped absorbent article configured as above, it is less likely that the individually wrapped absorbent article will slip against another individually wrapped absorbent article, regardless of how the various individually wrapped absorbent articles are stacked.

[0012] In addition, the individually wrapped absorbent article may be configured in such a way that, within the exposed surface of the wrapping sheet, which is exposed when the wrapping sheet individually wraps the absorbent article, the anti-slip agent is applied to at least part of a region of the exposed surface in which the number of overlapping portions of the wrapping sheet is greater when the wrapping sheet individually wraps the absorbent article.

[0013] In the individually wrapped absorbent article as configured above, the anti-slip agent is applied to the region of the individually wrapped absorbent article that is most likely to come into contact with another individually wrapped absorbent article when multiple individually wrapped absorbent articles are stacked. In this way, the individually wrapped absorbent article is less likely to slip against another individually wrapped absorbent article when multiple individually wrapped absorbent articles are stacked and packaged in one package. Because the individually wrapped absorbent article is configured so that the anti-slip agent is applied only to part of the packaging sheet, the increase in cost can be minimized. Petition 870250084390, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, pp. 117 / 143 4 / 29

[0014] In addition, the individually wrapped absorbent article is configured such that the individually wrapped absorbent article also includes a fastening tape. The wrapping sheet includes a first region, including one end in a longitudinal direction of the wrapping sheet, and a second region, including the other end in the longitudinal direction. The wrapping sheet is folded so that the second region overlaps the first region, and the fastening tape is placed over the first and second regions. When the MD direction of the wrapping sheet machine is a lateral direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction, the length of the fastening tape in the longitudinal direction is 35% or more relative to the length of the wrapping sheet in the longitudinal direction in a state where the wrapping sheet is folded.

[0015] With the individually wrapped absorbent article configured as above, it is less likely that the individually wrapped absorbent article will slip against another individually wrapped absorbent article due to the fastening tape when the various individually wrapped absorbent articles are stacked and packed in one package.

[0016] In addition, the individually wrapped absorbent article is configured such that the individually wrapped absorbent article also includes a fastening tape. The wrapping sheet includes a first region, including one end in a longitudinal direction of the wrapping sheet, and a second region, including the other end in the longitudinal direction. The wrapping sheet is folded so that the second region overlaps the first region, and the fastening tape is placed over the first and second regions. When the MD direction of the wrapping sheet machine is the longitudinal direction, the length of the fastening tape in a lateral direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction is 15% or more relative to the length of the wrapping sheet in the lateral direction.

[0017] With the individually wrapped absorbent item configured as above, it is less likely that the individually wrapped absorbent item will slip against another individually wrapped absorbent item due to the tape. Petition 870250084390, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, pp. 118 / 143 5 / 29 fixation when the various individually packaged absorbent articles are stacked and packed in one package.

[0018] In addition, the individually wrapped absorbent article can be configured so that one surface of the fastening tape has a non-slip structure.

[0019] With the individually wrapped absorbent article configured as above, it is less likely that the individually wrapped absorbent article will slip against another individually wrapped absorbent article due to the fastening tape when the various individually wrapped absorbent articles are stacked and packed in one package.

[0020] In addition, the individually wrapped absorbent article is configured such that an opposite surface of the packaging sheet to an exposed surface of the packaging sheet, which is exposed when the packaging sheet individually wraps the absorbent article, has a pseudoadhesive structure that binds the absorbent article to the packaging sheet in a releasable manner. An adhesive that constitutes the pseudoadhesive structure seeps through the packaging sheet and remains present on the exposed surface of the packaging sheet.

[0021] With the individually wrapped absorbent article as configured above, the individually wrapped absorbent article is less likely to slip against another individually wrapped absorbent article due to the pseudo-adhesive that binds the absorbent article to the wrapping sheet in a releasable manner.

[0022] In addition, the individually wrapped absorbent article can be configured so that the embossed patterning is provided to an exposed surface of the wrapping sheet, which is exposed when the wrapping sheet individually wraps the absorbent article.

[0023] With the individually wrapped absorbent article as configured above, the individually wrapped absorbent article is less likely to slip against another individually wrapped absorbent article due to the embossed patterning provided to the surface of the wrapping sheet, when the Petition 870250084390, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, pp. 119 / 143 6 / 29 several individually wrapped absorbent articles are stacked and packed in one package.

[0024] In addition, the individually wrapped absorbent article can be configured so that the embossed patterning includes embossing.

[0025] With the individually wrapped absorbent article as configured above, it is less likely that the individually wrapped absorbent article will slip against another individually wrapped absorbent article due to the embossing provided to the surface of the wrapping sheet, when the various individually wrapped absorbent articles are stacked and packed in one package.

[0026] In addition, the individually packaged absorbent article can be configured so that the embossed patterning includes the application of ink by printing.

[0027] With the individually packaged absorbent article as configured above, it is less likely that the individually packaged absorbent article will slip against another individually packaged absorbent article due to the application of ink to the surface of the packaging sheet by means of printing, when the various individually packaged absorbent articles are stacked and packed in one package.

[0028] In addition, the individually wrapped absorbent article can be configured so that the embossed patterning includes perforation of the packaging sheet.

[0029] With the individually wrapped absorbent article configured as above, it is less likely that the individually wrapped absorbent article will slip against another individually wrapped absorbent article due to perforation of the packaging sheet, when the various individually wrapped absorbent articles are stacked and packed in one package.

DESCRIPTION OF THE MODALITIES

[0031] The embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the following drawings. In the drawings, the same reference number is assigned to the same constituent component or to the corresponding component, unless otherwise indicated, and redundant description may be omitted. <Configuração básica do artigo absorvente embalado individualmente>

[0032] Fig. 1 is a plan view illustrating an embodiment of the individually wrapped absorbent article of the present invention. Fig. 2 is a plan view of a developed state of the individually wrapped absorbent article 100 illustrated in Fig. 1 and illustrates a view from the inner surface of the packaging sheet 10 or the side of the absorbent article 1 facing the skin of a user. In addition, Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line II illustrated in Fig. 1.

[0033] As illustrated in Figs. 1 to 3, the present embodiment is an individually wrapped absorbent article 100 that includes a wrapping sheet 10 and an absorbent article 1 individually wrapped with the wrapping sheet 10. As illustrated in Fig. 2, the wrapping sheet 10 has, for example, a narrow and long shape in an developed state and has a longitudinal direction (direction Petition 870250084390, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, pp. 122 / 143 9 / 29 vertical) D1 and a lateral direction (horizontal direction) D2 orthogonal to the longitudinal direction. Furthermore, the longitudinal direction D1 and the lateral direction D2 of the packing sheet 10 also correspond to a longitudinal direction and a lateral direction of the absorbent article 1, respectively. (Absorbent article)

[0034] The absorbent article 1 to be packaged with the packaging sheet 10 is an article with a shape suitable when the article is used to be placed against an orifice for the discharge of a bodily fluid (menstrual blood, vaginal secretion, urine, etc.), for example, a flat, narrow and long shape. Specific examples of absorbent article 1 include sanitary napkins, panty liners (sheets for vaginal secretion), absorbent pads for light incontinence and the like.

[0035] The absorbent article 1 includes, for example, a fluid-permeable top sheet 3, a fluid-impermeable back sheet (not shown) and an absorber 4 disposed between the top sheet 3 and the back sheet, as illustrated in Fig. 2.

[0036] As a backsheet, a sheet having at least one water-protective property may be used, such as an olefin-based resin sheet or similar. Olefin-based resin is such as polyethylene, polypropylene or similar. A laminated nonwoven fabric, in which a nonwoven fabric is laminated onto a polyethylene sheet or similar, or a laminated sheet of nonwoven fabrics, in which a waterproof film is inserted between the nonwoven fabrics to substantially ensure impermeability to fluids, may be used as a backsheet. In addition, a moisture-permeable sheet may be used as a backsheet.

[0037] As top sheet 3, a porous or non-porous nonwoven fabric, a porous plastic sheet or something similar may be used. As fibrous material constituting the nonwoven fabric, for example, one or two or more synthetic fibers may be used, such as olefin (e.g. polyethylene, polypropylene, etc.), polyester, polyamide and the like, recycled fibers such as rayon, cuprammonium rayon and the like, blended fibers of the foregoing and natural fibers such as cotton and Petition 870250084390, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, pages 123 / 143 10 / 29 similar.

[0038] Absorbent 4 is not limited, provided it is a material that can absorb and retain a body fluid. Preferably, absorbent 4 includes cotton pulp and a water-absorbing polymer. As a water-absorbing polymer, a superabsorbent polymer powder (SAP), a superabsorbent fiber (SAF), or a combination of the foregoing may be used. Examples of pulp include chemical pulp obtained from wood, cellulose fibers such as dissolving pulp, artificial cellulose fibers such as rayon, acetate, and the like. The pulp may be hardwood pulp obtained from hardwood, softwood pulp obtained from softwood, or a mixture of the foregoing pulps. In addition, the pulp may be recycled from used pulp.

[0039] The length of the absorber 4 can be from 0.5 mm to 25 mm. The absorber 4 can be configured so that a region corresponding to a body fluid discharge orifice or a region facing the intergluteal cleft behind the region corresponding to the body fluid discharge orifice is convex. The absorber 4 has a size and shape that does not exceed the top sheet 3 and the back sheet. At the front and back edges of the absorber, the outer edges of the back sheet and the outer edges of the top sheet 3 are joined, respectively, by an adhesive, such as a hot melt adhesive or similar, or by an adhesion method, such as thermal sealing or ultrasonic sealing.

[0040] As illustrated in Fig. 2, the side sheets 7 can be provided, respectively, on the outer sides of the absorber 4 along the longitudinal direction D1 and on the two edge portions of the absorber 4 in the lateral direction D2. Water-repellent nonwoven fabrics or hydrophilic nonwoven fabrics can be used as side sheets 7.

[0041] Note that absorbent article 1 is of the type without tabs, i.e., it does not have tabs in the example illustrated in Figs. 1 to 3, but the absorbent article can be configured as an article with tabs that extend to the side. The tabs can be formed by joining the side sheet and the back sheet. Petition 870250084390, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, pp. 124 / 143 11 / 29

[0042] In addition, a non-slip adhesive strip may be provided on one side of the back sheet of the absorbent article 1 (the skin-free side, i.e., the side facing the underwear when worn). The non-slip adhesive strip is provided to prevent the absorbent item 1 from being displaced from the underwear when the absorbent item 1 is attached to the underwear. The non-slip adhesive strip is, for example, formed by several strips extending in the longitudinal direction D1 or in the lateral direction D2.

[0043] The total length of absorbent article 1 can be from 140 mm to 430 mm, and the width of absorbent article 1 (the width of the main body, excluding the flaps, if any) can be from 40 mm to 130 mm. (Packaging sheet)

[0044] The packaging sheet 10 of this embodiment includes paper. The use of the packaging sheet 10 made of paper can contribute to the reduction of plastic use and to the fulfillment of sustainable development goals. In addition, paper can provide unique textures, such as the appearance and feel that give the soft impressions of natural materials. In this descriptive report, paper encompasses a thin, flat sheet obtained by bonding vegetable fibers or other fibers with a binding agent. In particular, paper includes a sheet that includes vegetable fibers as the main raw material, for example, it includes vegetable fibers, especially cellulose fibers, in an amount of 50% or more, preferably 80% or more, in relation to all the fibers included in the sheet.The vegetable fibers (pulp) that serve as raw material for paper can include wood pulp, non-wood pulp, and waste paper pulp, which can be mechanical pulp or chemical pulp. Pulp can be recycled from constituent components of absorbent articles, packaging sheets for absorbent articles, or both. Additionally, additives can be added to the paper. Specific examples of paper include various types of paper, such as Western paper, Japanese paper, processed paper, synthetic paper, and the like. Furthermore, paper can be used for other purposes in related techniques, such as papermaking. Petition 870250084390, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, pages 125 / 143 12 / 29 called newspaper, printing paper (including high-quality paper), writing paper, drawing paper, packaging paper, tissue paper, hybrid paper and similar. In the case of tissue paper, the paper may be fine vellum, Indian paper, rice paper, glassine paper, tissue paper, toilet paper, filter paper or similar.

[0045] In this descriptive report, the packaging sheet made of paper encompasses a sheet that primarily includes the paper described above. The packaging sheet made of paper includes not only a packaging sheet composed solely of paper, but also a laminated sheet in which paper and a sheet of a non-paper material are laminated together. In the case of the packaging sheet 10 including a sheet of a non-paper material, the non-paper material may be a resin film, a non-woven fabric, or something similar. However, the packaging sheet 10 is preferably composed solely of paper from the point of view of reducing the use of plastics, from the point of view of the unique natural texture of paper imparted to a product, or both.

[0046] The packaging sheet 10 made of paper may be subjected to processing. Processing includes, for example, calendering, water-repellent processing, cutting, layering, printing and the like. In the case where water-repellent processing is carried out on the packaging sheet 10, for example, a water-repellent agent, such as a silicone-based resin, a paraffin-based resin, a fluororesin or something similar, may be applied to at least one outer surface of the packaging sheet 10 (the side of the packaging sheet 10 to be exposed in the state where the packaging sheet 10 encloses the absorbent article 1) and one inner surface of the packaging sheet 10 opposite the outer surface.In the case where the water repellency processing is carried out on the inner surface of the packaging sheet 10, a non-slip adhesive portion arranged on a back surface of an absorbent article 1 becomes easily detachable from the packaging sheet 10 and, therefore, a release coating can be omitted. Note that, when water repellency processing is carried out... Petition 870250084390, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, pages 126 / 143 13 / 29 water is carried out on the packaging sheet 10 in a production method where the sealed portions are produced by pressure bonding with heated rollers. In the present embodiment, a water-repellent agent can prevent the formation of releasable sealed portions. Therefore, the sealed portions 15 (described in detail further below) are preferably not formed on both edges of an individually packaged absorbent article 100.

[0047] The size of the packaging sheet 10 depends on the size or shape of the absorbent article 1 to be packaged. For example, a length in the longitudinal direction D1 (which can simply be called length) can be from 100 mm to 450 mm, and a length in the lateral direction D2 (which can simply be called width) can be from 50 mm to 200 mm in the state in which the packaging sheet 10 is fully extended (unfolded state). In the illustrated example, the packaging sheet 10 has a rectangular shape in an unfolded state, but it can have, for example, an oblong shape. (Packaging configuration of the individually wrapped absorbent article)

[0048] As illustrated in Figs. 1 to 3, the absorbent article 1 is packaged and folded together with the packaging sheet 10, thus forming an individually wrapped absorbent article 100. At the time of folding, first, the absorbent article 1 is placed on the inner surface of the packaging sheet 10, so that the back side of the sheet of the absorbent article 1 faces the inner surface of the packaging sheet 10, as illustrated in Fig. 2. Then, the packaging sheet 10 and the absorbent article 1 are folded together in the longitudinal direction D1 on the first fold line F1 and on the second fold line F2 along the width direction D2.More specifically, a first region R1, including one end 11 of the packaging sheet 10 in the longitudinal direction D1, is folded in the longitudinal direction D1 along the first fold line F1, and a second region R2, including the other end 12 of the packaging sheet 10 in the longitudinal direction D1, is folded along the second fold line F2. A region of the packaging sheet 10 between the first region R1 and the second region R2 is a third region R3. In the example. Petition 870250084390, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, pp. 127 / 143 14 / 29 illustrated, the packaging sheet 10 is folded so that the second region R2 is folded first and then the first region R1 is folded to overlap the outer surface of the second region R2 (Figs. 1 and 2), but the folding order of the first region R1 and the second region R2 can be reversed. After the packaging sheet 10 and the absorbent article 1 are folded together in three (tri-fold inwards) to enclose the absorbent article 1, both edge portions in the lateral direction D2 are sealed along the longitudinal direction D1, thus forming sealed portions 15.

[0049] This three-fold or more packaging method can be formed relatively simply and can hygienically wrap an absorbent article 1. Furthermore, the absorbent article 1 can be easily removed. Note that the folding method is not limited to three folds; it can be four or more folds, or two folds.

[0050] Furthermore, the individually packaged absorbent article 100 may be provided with a fastening tape 30 in a center of the lateral direction D2 near the edge of the first region R1 (an end 11 of the packaging sheet 10). As illustrated in Fig. 1, the fastening tape 30 may be placed over the first region R1 and the second region R2 at an end 11 of the packaging sheet 10. Because the fastening tape 30 is provided, a user can hold the fastening tape 30 to lift and pull the first region R1 when opening the individually packaged absorbent article 100, thus further facilitating the opening of the individually packaged absorbent article 100. When opened, the first region R1 is separated from the second region R2, which is located below the first region R1. (Portion prohibited)

[0051] As illustrated in Fig. 1, the portions of the individually packaged absorbent article 100, in which the absorbent article 1 is not present on both edges in the lateral direction D2, are respectively sealed, thus forming the sealed portions 15. In the present embodiment, the sealed portions 15 are formed Petition 870250084390, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, pages 128 / 143 15 / 29 by passing the packaging sheet 10 between a pair of heated rollers to press together the overlapping portions above the folded packaging sheet 10 in a thickness direction.

[0052] As illustrated in Fig. 1, the sealed portions 15 are formed, for example, along the entire length of the individually packaged absorbent article 100 in the longitudinal direction D1. This is preferable from the point of view that the erroneous entry of dust or dirt or of a finger or a small object from the edges of the end in the lateral direction can be avoided (the sealing capacity is guaranteed).

[0053] A strip in the lateral direction D2 in which each sealed portion 15 is provided is, for example, a strip 20 mm from the end edge in the lateral direction D2. The sealed portion 15 may be formed in the entire strip or may be formed in part of the strip above, for example, at a position distant from the end edge in the lateral direction D2. The length (width) of each sealed portion 15 in the lateral direction D2 is preferably from 3 mm to 15 mm. The inner edge of the sealed portion 15 in the lateral direction D2 may be extended linearly in the longitudinal direction D1 or extended in a curved manner, for example, in a wave shape.

[0054] Fig. 4 is an enlarged view of section II illustrated in Fig. 1 and illustrates a portion that includes the sealed portion 15.

[0055] As illustrated in Fig. 4, the sealed portion 15 includes several pressure-bonded portions (or bonded portions) 15a that are separated from each other in a plan view. Each pressure-bonded portion 15a is a portion in which the overlapping portions of the folded packaging sheet 10 are joined by pressure bonding. In the illustrated example, a portion other than the pressure-bonded portions 15a is an unbonded portion, in which the overlapping portions of the folded packaging sheet 10 are not joined to each other. Because the pressure-bonded portions 15a are separated from each other, as described above, the bonded portions of the packaging sheet can be easily removed at the time of opening, and the opening capability can be improved, for example, in Petition 870250084390, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, pp. 129 / 143 16 / 29 comparison with a case where the portions of the packaging sheets 10 are bonded across the entire surface of the sealed portion 15. In addition, this can prevent the two edges of the individually packaged absorbent article 100 from becoming excessively hard and impairing the texture.

[0056] Note that the shape of each pressure-connected portion 15a in a plan view is a square in the example illustrated in Fig. 4, but the shape is not limited to the illustrated shape and may be, for example, a quadrilateral other than a square, such as a rectangle or a parallelogram, a polygon other than a quadrilateral, a circle, an ellipse, a heart shape, a star shape, a teardrop shape or similar. Furthermore, the size of each pressure-connected portion 15a is, for example, a square with a side of 0.25 mm to 2.5 mm or an equivalent size with the same area as the square.

[0057] The individually wrapped absorbent article 100 is supplied in a package in which the individually wrapped absorbent article 100 is contained.

[0058] Fig. 5 is a view illustrating a state in which the individually packaged absorbent articles 100, each illustrated in Figs. 1 to 4, are packed in a package.

[0059] As illustrated in Fig. 5, the individually wrapped absorbent article 100, described above, is packaged in a state where the various individually wrapped absorbent articles 100 are stacked. Especially in the case where highly smooth paper is used as packaging sheet 10, the individually wrapped absorbent articles 100 easily slip against each other. Therefore, the stacked individually wrapped absorbent articles 100 may separate on the conveyor line for transporting the individually wrapped absorbent articles 100. The stacked individually wrapped absorbent articles 100 have a higher probability of separating in the MD direction of the machine. The packaging described above of the individually wrapped absorbent articles 100 in a Petition 870250084390, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, pages 130 / 143 17 / 29 Packaging can be performed automatically on the conveyor line. Therefore, if the stacked individually wrapped absorbent items (100) separate, the dispersed individually wrapped absorbent items (100) will be manually repackaged, which reduces production efficiency.

[0060] Therefore, in the case of the individually wrapped absorbent article 100 of the present embodiment, the anti-slip is provided to a surface of the individually wrapped absorbent article 100 that will be in contact with another individually wrapped absorbent article when the various individually wrapped absorbent articles 100 are stacked. The embodiments of the anti-slip will be described below. <antiderrapante> (First option)

[0061] Fig. 6 is a view illustrating a first embodiment of the anti-slip, viewed from an external surface of the packaging sheet 10.

[0062] As illustrated in Fig. 6, in the present embodiment, a non-slip varnish 20a is applied to the entire area of ​​the outer surface of the packaging sheet 10. The outer surface is an exposed surface of the packaging sheet 10, which is exposed when the packaging sheet 10 individually wraps the absorbent article 1.

[0063] In the individually packaged absorbent article with the configuration above, the surface of the individually packaged absorbent article 100 is less slippery due to the anti-slip varnish 20a applied to the packaging sheet 10. In the case of several individually packaged absorbent articles being stacked, as illustrated in Fig. 5, it is less likely that the individually packaged absorbent articles will separate. In this way, the reduction in product efficiency can be avoided when several individually packaged absorbent articles 100 are stacked and packaged in one package.

[0064] As the 20a anti-slip varnish is applied to the entire outer surface area of ​​the packaging sheet 10, the individually packaged absorbent article 100 Petition 870250084390, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, pp. 131 / 143 18 / 29 is less likely to slip against another individually wrapped absorbent item 100, regardless of how the individually wrapped absorbent items 100 are stacked.

[0065] The anti-slip agent, which is applied to the exposed surface of the packaging sheet 10 to make it less slippery, is not limited to anti-slip varnish. For example, the anti-slip agent can be any material that makes the surface of the packaging sheet 10 less slippery when the material is applied to the surface of the packaging sheet 10, such as matte varnish. Specifically, a pressure-sensitive adhesive or a material that causes friction with the rubber can be used. In addition, when a silica-containing resin is used as an anti-slip agent, thin projected portions can be formed on the surface of the packaging sheet 10, so that the surface of the packaging sheet 10 becomes less slippery due to friction. (Second option)

[0066] Fig. 7 is a view illustrating a second embodiment of the anti-slip and is viewed from the outer surface of the packing sheet 10. Fig. 8 is a cross-section illustrating a state in which the packing sheet 10 illustrated in Fig. 7 individually encloses the absorbent article 1 and illustrates a cross-section taken along the direction D1 illustrated in Fig. 7.

[0067] As illustrated in Fig. 7, in the present embodiment, the anti-slip varnish 20b is applied to part of the exposed surface of the packaging sheet 10, which is exposed when the packaging sheet 10 individually wraps the absorbent article 1. In the case where the packaging sheet 10 is folded in three, together with the absorbent article 1, as described above, there is a region where the number of overlapping portions of the packaging sheet 10 is two and a region where the number of overlapping portions of the packaging sheet 10 is three, as illustrated in Fig. 8. The region where the number of overlapping portions of the packaging sheet 10 is two includes a region where the first region R1 and the third region R3 overlap and a region where the second region R2 and the third region R3 overlap. Petition 870250084390, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, pages 132 / 143 19 / 29 overlap. In the present embodiment, the anti-slip varnish 20b is applied to at least part of the exposed surface region of the packaging sheet 10, in which three portions of the packaging sheet 10, namely the first region R1, the second region R2 and the third region R3, overlap.

[0068] The individually wrapped absorbent article 100 becomes thicker in the region where three parts of the packaging sheet 10, namely the first region R1, the second region R2 and the third region R3, overlap and therefore this region is the one that is most likely to come into contact with another individually wrapped absorbent article 100 when several individually wrapped absorbent articles 100 are stacked.

[0069] Therefore, in the case of several individually packaged absorbent articles being stacked, as illustrated in Fig. 5, it is less likely that the stacked individually packaged absorbent articles will separate. Therefore, the reduction in production efficiency can be avoided when several individually packaged absorbent articles 100 are stacked and packed in one package. Furthermore, as the anti-slip varnish 20b is configured to be applied to part of the packaging sheet 10, as described above, the increase in cost is minimized.

[0070] In the case where the exposed surface region of the packaging sheet 10, in which the three portions, namely the first region R1, the second region R2 and the third region R3, overlap, includes a region where so-called solid printing is performed, anti-slip varnish 20b can be applied to the region where the solid printing is performed. In this way, it is possible to avoid deterioration of the design, for example, loss of transparency of the surface due to anti-slip varnish 20b. (Third option)

[0071] Fig. 9 is a view illustrating a third embodiment of the anti-slip and a plan view of the individually packaged absorbent article.

[0072] As illustrated in Fig. 9, in this embodiment, the anti-slip effect is provided by the shape of the 30a fastening tape. Petition 870250084390, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, pages 133 / 143 20 / 29

[0073] The fastening tape 30a is provided on the first region R1 and the second region R2 at one end 11 of the packaging sheet 10, similar to the illustration in Fig. 1. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the MD (A) direction of the packaging sheet 10 is the lateral direction D2 of the packaging sheet 10. Additionally, the length L1 of the individually packaged absorbent article in the longitudinal direction D1 is 90 mm, and the length L2 of the fastening tape 30a in the direction D1 is 38 mm. Specifically, the length L2 of the fastening tape 30a in the direction D1 is 42% of the length L1 of the individually packaged absorbent article in the longitudinal direction D1. Note that the length L1 of the individually packaged absorbent article in the longitudinal direction D1 can be from 40 mm to 170 mm, and the length L2 of the fastening tape 30a in the direction D1 can be from 15 mm to 60 mm.

[0074] In the related technique, the length of the fastening tape 30a in the D1 direction is 28% of the length L1 of the individually packaged absorbent article in the longitudinal D1 direction.

[0075] In the case of several individually wrapped absorbent items of the related technique being stacked, as illustrated in Fig. 5, the individually wrapped absorbent items will likely slip in the MD (A) direction of the machine. The end side of the fastening tape 30a forms a step with the surface of the packaging sheet 10. As the length L2 of the fastening tape 30a in the direction orthogonal to the MD (A) direction of the machine increases, the length of the step formed between the fastening tape 30a and the packaging sheet 10 increases, so that the individually wrapped absorbent item is less likely to slip against another individually wrapped absorbent item when the several individually wrapped absorbent items are stacked.The use of the 30a fastening tape securing one end 11 of the packing sheet 10 can make individually wrapped stacked absorbent items less slippery and can prevent individually wrapped stacked absorbent items from separating without adding structure. Petition 870250084390, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, pp. 134 / 143 21 / 29 additional to the individually packaged absorbent item. Note that the length L2 of the 30a fastening tape in direction D1 is preferably 35% or more relative to the length L1 of the individually packaged absorbent item in the longitudinal direction D1.

[0076] Note that, as a non-slip structure, a non-slip varnish can be applied to a surface of the 30a fastening tape, an embossing can be made on the 30a fastening tape, or the 30a fastening tape itself can be made of a material with a rough surface. Because the 30a fastening tape has the above configuration, it is less likely that the individually wrapped absorbent item will slip against another individually wrapped absorbent item when the various individually wrapped absorbent items are stacked. (Fourth modality)

[0077] Fig. 10 is a view illustrating a fourth embodiment of the anti-slip and is a plan view of the individually packaged absorbent article.

[0078] As illustrated in Fig. 10, in the present embodiment, the anti-slip is provided by means of the 30b fastening tape format.

[0079] The fastening tape 30b is provided over the first region R1 and the second region R2 at one end 11 of the packaging sheet 10, similar to the embodiment illustrated in Fig. 1. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the MD (B) direction of the packaging sheet 10 is the longitudinal direction D1 of the packaging sheet 10. Additionally, the length L3 of the individually packaged absorbent article in the lateral direction D2 is 128 mm, and the length L4 of the fastening tape 30a in the direction D1 is 23 mm. Specifically, the length L4 of the fastening tape 30a in the direction D2 is 18% relative to the length L3 of the individually packaged absorbent article in the lateral direction D2. Note that the length L3 of the individually packaged absorbent article in the lateral direction D2 can be from 50 mm to 200 mm, and the length L4 of the fastening tape 30a in the direction D2 can be from 8 mm to 30 mm.

[0080] In the related technique, the length of the fastening tape 30a in the direction Petition 870250084390, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, pp. 135 / 143 22 / 29 D2 is 12% relative to the length L3 of the individually packaged absorbent article in the lateral direction D2.

[0081] In the case of several individually packaged absorbent items of the related technique being stacked, as illustrated in Fig. 5, the individually packaged absorbent items will likely slip in the MD (B) direction of the machine. The end side of the fastening tape 30b forms a step with the surface of the packaging sheet 10. As the length L4 of the fastening tape 30b in the direction orthogonal to the MD (B) direction of the machine increases, the length of the step between the fastening tape 30b and the packaging sheet 10 increases, so that the individually packaged absorbent item is less likely to slip in the MD (B) direction of the machine when the several individually packaged absorbent items are stacked.

[0082] The use of fastening tape 30b securing one end 11 of the packaging sheet 10 can make stacked individually wrapped absorbent articles less slippery and can prevent stacked individually wrapped absorbent articles from separating without adding additional structure to the individually wrapped absorbent article. Note that the length L4 of fastening tape 30a in the D2 direction is preferably 15% or more relative to the length L3 of the individually wrapped absorbent article in the lateral D2 direction.

[0083] Note that, in the present embodiment, a non-slip varnish may be applied to a surface of the 30b fastening tape, an embossing may be made on the 30b fastening tape, or the 30b fastening tape itself may be made of a material with a rough surface, such as a non-slip structure. Because the 30b fastening tape has the above configuration, it is less likely that the individually wrapped absorbent item will slip against another individually wrapped absorbent item when the various individually wrapped absorbent items are stacked. (Fifth modality) Petition 870250084390, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, pp. 136 / 143 23 / 29

[0084] Fig. 11 is a view illustrating a fifth embodiment of the anti-slip and a view illustrating a developed state of the individually packaged absorbent article 100, viewed from the inner surface of the packaging sheet 10 or from the side of the absorbent article 1 facing the skin of a user. Fig. 12 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a stacked state of the release coating 5, the hot melt adhesive 6 and the packaging sheet 10, illustrated in Fig. 11.

[0085] The individually wrapped absorbent article 100 may include a pseudo-adhesive structure on an inner surface of the packaging sheet 10, i.e., a surface opposite to the exposed surface of the packaging sheet 10 when the packaging sheet 10 individually wraps the absorbent article 1, so that the individually wrapped absorbent article 1 does not fall off. The pseudo-adhesive structure is a structure in which the release liner 5 is bonded to the inner surface of the packaging sheet 10 by means of a hot melt adhesive 6, which is an example of an adhesive, and the absorbent article 1 is releasably bonded to the release liner 5, as illustrated in Figs. 11 and 12. In this way, the absorbent article 1 is in the state in which the absorbent article 1 is releasably bonded to the packaging sheet 10.

[0086] In the present embodiment, the fusible adhesive 6 leaks onto the exposed surface of the packaging sheet 10 due to the increased amount of fusible adhesive 6 applied. As illustrated in Fig. 12, the fusible adhesive 6 may partially leak onto the exposed surface of the packaging sheet 10, or even if the fusible adhesive 6 leaks completely, a relief pattern is formed on the exposed surface as the fusible adhesive 6 passes through the packaging sheet 10 in the thickness direction.

[0087] Therefore, the fusible adhesive 6 leaked onto the exposed surface of the packaging sheet 10 increases the frictional force of the exposed surface of the packaging sheet 10, so that the individually packaged absorbent items stacked are less likely to slip against each other. The use of the pseudo-adhesive structure that binds the absorbent article 1 to the packaging sheet 10 can Petition 870250084390, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, pp. 137 / 143 24 / 29 to make stacked individually wrapped absorbent articles less slippery without adding additional structure to the individually wrapped absorbent article. (Sixth modality)

[0088] Fig. 13 is a view illustrating a sixth embodiment of the anti-slip and is a plan view of the individually packaged absorbent article.

[0089] As illustrated in Fig. 13, in the present embodiment, the embossing 40a is provided to various portions of the packaging sheet 10 as an anti-slip.

[0090] In the present embodiment, the MD (C) direction of the packaging sheet 10 is the lateral direction D2 of the packaging sheet 10. Furthermore, the embossing 40a is provided in linear regions that extend in the longitudinal direction D1 of the packaging sheet 10 and are parallel to each other. As a pattern formed by the embossing 40a, for example, the projected portions or the recessed portions, each with a circle of 5 mm diameter or a rectangle of 5 mm χ 5 mm, are arranged regularly.

[0091] In the individually wrapped absorbent article configured in the manner described above, the MD (C) direction of the packaging sheet machine 10 is the D2 side direction of the packaging sheet 10 and therefore an individually wrapped absorbent article is likely to slip in the side direction of the packaging sheet 10 when multiple individually wrapped absorbent articles are stacked.

[0092] As embossing 40a is provided in the linear regions extending in the longitudinal direction D1 of the packaging sheet 10, the presence and absence of embossing 40a are repeated in the lateral direction D2 of the packaging sheet 10, so that an individually packaged absorbent article is less likely to slip in the lateral direction D2 of the packaging sheet 10 when the various individually packaged absorbent articles are stacked. (Seventh modality)

[0093] Fig. 14 is a view illustrating a seventh embodiment of the anti-slip and is a plan view of the individually packaged absorbent article. Petition 870250084390, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, pp. 138 / 143 25 / 29

[0094] As illustrated in Fig. 14, in the present embodiment, the embossing 40b is provided to various portions of the packaging sheet 10 as an anti-slip.

[0095] In the present embodiment, the MD (D) direction of the packaging sheet 10 is the longitudinal direction D1 of the packaging sheet 10. Furthermore, the embossing 40b is provided in linear regions that extend in the lateral direction D2 of the packaging sheet 10 and are parallel to each other. As a pattern formed by the embossing 40b, for example, the projected portions or the recessed portions, each with a circle of 5 mm diameter or a rectangle of 5 mm χ 5 mm, are arranged regularly.

[0096] In the individually wrapped absorbent article configured in the manner described above, the MD (D) direction of the packaging sheet machine 10 is the longitudinal direction D1 of the packaging sheet 10 and therefore an individually wrapped absorbent article is likely to slip in the longitudinal direction D1 of the packaging sheet 10 when multiple individually wrapped absorbent articles are stacked.

[0097] As the 40b embossing is provided in the linear regions extending in the lateral direction D2 of the packaging sheet 10, the presence and absence of the 40b embossing are repeated in the longitudinal direction D1 of the packaging sheet 10, so that the individually packaged absorbent article is less likely to slide in the longitudinal direction D1 of the packaging sheet 10 when the various individually packaged absorbent articles are stacked. (Eighth modality)

[0098] Fig. 15 includes views illustrating an eighth embodiment of the anti-slip, (a) is a view from the outer surface of the packaging sheet 10, (b) is a cross-sectional view illustrating part of an embossed pattern in the third region R3 and (c) is a cross-sectional view illustrating part of an embossed pattern in the first region R1 and in the second region R2.

[0099] As illustrated in Fig. 15, in the present embodiment, embossing 50a is done in the third region R3 of the packaging sheet 10, and embossing 50b is done in Petition 870250084390, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, pages 139 / 143 26 / 29 each of regions R1 and R2. The embossing 50a provided in the third region R3 is configured so that the projected portions 51a, which are projected towards the outer surface of the packaging sheet 10, are arranged regularly, as illustrated in Fig. 15(b). Furthermore, the embossing 50b provided in each of regions R1 and R2 is configured so that the recessed portions 51b, which are projected towards the inner surface of the packaging sheet 10, are arranged regularly, as illustrated in Fig. 15(c).

[00100] As described with reference to Figs. 2 and 3, the absorbent article is placed on the inner surface of the packaging sheet 10 configured as described above, and the packaging sheet 10 is folded so that the surface of the packaging sheet 10 on which the absorbent article is placed becomes the inner side. In this way, an individually packaged absorbent article is produced, in which the absorbent article is individually packaged with the packaging sheet 10.

[00101] Fig. 16 is a view to explain a state in which the packaging sheet 10 illustrated in Fig. 15 is folded and then the resulting individually packaged absorbent articles are stacked.

[00102] As illustrated in Fig. 16, when the packaging sheet 10 illustrated in Fig. 15 is folded and the resulting individually wrapped absorbent articles are stacked, the first region R1 of the packaging sheet of one individually wrapped absorbent article and the third region R3 of the packaging sheet of another individually wrapped absorbent article face each other within the stacked individually wrapped absorbent articles 100. Here, embossing 50b is provided to the first region R1 of the packaging sheet 10 of the present embodiment, and embossing 50b is configured so that the recessed portions 51b that are recessed towards the side of the inner surface of the packaging sheet 10 are arranged regularly.Furthermore, embossing 50a is provided to the third region R3 of the packaging sheet 10, and embossing 50a is configured so that the projected portions 51a that are projected towards the side of the outer surface of the packaging sheet 10 are arranged regularly. Petition 870250084390, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, pages 140 / 143 27 / 29

[00103] When several individually wrapped absorbent articles 100 are stacked together, the projecting portions 51a of the embossing 50a function to form, respectively, the interlock with the recessed portions 51b of the embossing 50b within the stacked individually wrapped absorbent articles 100, as illustrated in Fig. 16. Therefore, the individually wrapped absorbent articles 100 are less likely to slip against each other when the various individually wrapped absorbent articles 100 are stacked.

[00104] Note that each projected portion 51a of the embossment 50a or each recessed portion 51b of the embossment 50b can have a size of, for example, a circle with a diameter of 5 mm or a rectangle of 5 mm χ 5 mm. (Ninth modality)

[00105] Fig. 17 is a view illustrating a ninth embodiment of the anti-slip and is a plan view of the individually packaged absorbent article.

[00106] As illustrated in Fig. 17, in the present embodiment, the embossing is done on the entire surface of the packaging sheet 10 as a non-slip material, thus forming a raised pattern 50c. The raised pattern 50c is formed, for example, by the regular arrangement of projected portions or recessed portions, each in the form of a circle with a diameter of 5 mm or a rectangle of 5 mm χ 5 mm.

[00107] In the individually wrapped absorbent article configured in the manner described above, the embossed pattern 50c is present on the exposed surface of the packaging sheet 10 and therefore the surface friction force is increased, and the individually wrapped absorbent articles are less likely to slip against each other when the various individually wrapped absorbent articles are stacked.

[00108] Note that, in the sixth to ninth embodiments described above, the embossed pattern that serves as an anti-slip is applied to the packaging sheet by means of embossing. However, the embossed pattern can be provided by applying ink to the packaging sheet 10 by means of dot printing. In addition, the embossed pattern can be provided by Petition 870250084390, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, pp. 141 / 143 28 / 29 perforation, such as, for example, cutting the packaging sheet 10 from the surface or perforating the packaging sheet 10 with a needle.

[00109] Furthermore, the anti-slip properties described in the first to ninth embodiments can be combined. For example, the surface of the individually packaged absorbent article can be made less slippery by the fastening tape configuration described in the third or fourth embodiment, in addition to applying anti-slip varnish to the packaging sheet, as described in the first or second embodiment. Furthermore, the fastening tape configuration described in the third or fourth embodiment and the embossing configuration described in the sixth or seventh embodiment can be combined according to the machine's MD direction. Additionally, the surface of the individually packaged absorbent article can be made less slippery by embossing the packaging sheet, as described in the sixth to ninth embodiments, in addition to applying anti-slip varnish to the packaging sheet, as described in the first or second embodiment.
