Cigarette package, wrapping paper for cigarette package, and method and machine for manufacturing wrapping paper

Abstract

A cigarette package, wrapping paper for the cigarette package, and a method and a machine for manufacturing the wrapping paper. The cigarette package comprises an outer box (44) and an inner box (56) stored in the outer box (44). The inner box (56) comprises a cigarette bundle and an inner wrapper (58) wrapping the cigarette bundle. The inner wrapper (58) comprises first and second paper layers (4, 6) forming the front and rear surfaces of the inner wrapper (58) and a moisture-proof layer (8) held between the first and second paper layers (4, 6). The moisture-proof layer (8) is formed of only a paraffin wax, and functions also as an adhesive agent for adhering the first and second paper layers (4, 6) to each other.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a cigarette package which is excellent in moisture resistance and flavor retention and does not cause environmental pollution. In addition, the present invention relates to a wrapping paper suitable for such cigarette packaging and having excellent direct decomposability, a manufacturing method of the wrapping paper, and a manufacturing apparatus. Background technique [0002] A cigarette package includes an outer box and an inner package accommodated in the outer box. The inner package has a bundle of smoking articles such as cigarettes or filter cigarettes, and a wrapping paper that wraps the bundle of smoking articles, that is, an inner packaging material. [0003] Such inner packaging materials generally use aluminum vapor-deposited paper, which has a paper layer and an aluminum film vapor-deposited on one side of the paper layer. This aluminum film is very thin, so aluminum vapor-deposited paper lacks shielding properties...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, when this laminated paper is used as an inner packaging material for cigarette packages, the odor of the polymer will be transferred to the smoking article through the laminated paper, which may impair the flavor and smell of the smoking article.

[0010] In addition, since the polymer that is the main component of the above-mentioned moisture barrier layer lacks direct decomposability, the disposal of the laminated paper will increase the environmental burden.
