AI Technical Summary
Building boards with coated surfaces develop unintended gloss when pressed, leading to noticeable changes in appearance, especially when stacked, due to microscopic deformation of the coating film's texture, which is particularly problematic for matte coatings.
A packaging system where the building boards are stacked with packing sheets that have a roughness profile matching the coating film's microscopic texture, ensuring minimal deformation and gloss generation by distributing pressure evenly and transferring the pre-deformation roughness profile to the coating film.
The packaging system effectively suppresses the generation of new gloss on the coating film, maintaining the original appearance of the building boards even when stacked, by closely matching the microscopic roughness profiles of the packing sheets with the coating films, thus preventing noticeable texture changes.

DESCRIPTION BUILDING BOARD PACKAGE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING BUILDING BOARD PACKAGE Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a building board package, and a method for manufacturing the building board package. Background Art
[0002] For example, inorganic boards such as a ceramic siding board and a ceramic board are used as building boards constituting exterior walls and interior walls of buildings. To install a wall portion using building boards, a plurality of building boards are joined together in a vertical direction and a horizontal direction. Frequently, such building boards are packed into packages each including a predetermined number of building boards, and the packages are transported and stored while being stacked on a transport pallet. As for a technique relating to packaging of such building boards, for example, Patent Document 1 below describes protecting the surface of a coating film of a building board by a thin sheet, called a packing sheet.

[0003] Patent Document 1: JP 2005-41546A Summary of Invention Technical Problem
[0004] A building board may have coating applied to its design surface. When a coating film on the coated surface of a building board to which coating has been applied is pressed, the texture of the surface of the coating film may change at the pressed portion, thus generating a new gloss (i.e., the pressed portion may have a net outside light reflectance higher than that of an unpressed portion adjacent thereto). This is presumably because, on the surface of the coating film, a microscopic roughness profile corresponding to a predetermined texture is microscopically deformed (planarized) through pressing. For building boards and building board packages (hereinafter abbreviated as packages) that are stacked in multiple tiers on a transport pallet, an unintended new gloss on a coating film is likely to be particularly generated in a building board that is located in the lowermost tier and is subjected to the greatest load.
[0005] When a building board in which the above-described gloss resulting from pressing of the coating film is included in building boards constituting an exterior wall or an interior wall, the gloss may become noticeable depending on the irradiation angle of irradiation light such as sunlight and illumination light, thus impairing the appearance of the exterior wall or the interior wall. In particular, when the coating film on the surface of the building board is a matte coating film, the above-described unintended gloss is likely to be noticeable, and may impair the appearance of the exterior wall or the interior wall.
[0006] The present invention has been conceived under the above-described circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a package suitable to suppress generation of a gloss that could be caused as a result of pressing a coating film on the surface of a building board, and a method for manufacturing the package. Solution to Problem
[0007] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a package is provided. The package includes a first building board, and a packing sheet stacked on top of the first building board. The first building board has a first surface including a first coating film surface, and a second surface opposite the first surface. The packing sheet has a third surface on the first building board side, and a fourth surface opposite the third surface. The third surface is in contact with the first coating film surface. An absolute value of a difference between a 60-degree gloss value of the first coating film surface and a 60-degree gloss value of the third surface is 3.0 or less, and an absolute value of a difference between an 85-degree gloss value of the first coating film surface and an 85-degree gloss value of the third surface is 3.0 or less.
[0008] In the present package, the first coating film surface and the third surface that are in contact with each other have microscopic roughness profiles corresponding to their respective glosses. The further the values of both a difference in gloss value between the first coating film surface and the third surface when measuring a gloss value at a relatively small incident angle of 60 degrees in a gloss value measurement, and a difference in gloss value between the first coating film surface and the third surface when measuring a gloss value at a relatively large incident angle of 85 degrees in a gloss value measurement are below 3.0, the more closely the microscopic roughness profile of the first coating film surface and the microscopic roughness profile of the third surface resemble each other.
[0009] For such a package, even if the first coating film surface of the first building board is pressed by the third surface of the packing sheet and deformed microscopically, the deformation is caused by the microscopic roughness profile of the third surface that resembles the pre-deformation microscopic roughness profile of the pressed portion (e.g., the microscopic roughness profile of the third surface is transferred to the first coating film surface). Therefore, at the pressed portion of the first coating film surface, the change in texture is suppressed and a new gloss is less likely to be generated.
[0010] As described thus far, the package according to the first aspect of the present invention is suitable to suppress generation of a gloss that could be caused as a result of pressing a coating film on a surface of a building board.
[0011] Preferably, the package according to the present invention further includes a second building board stacked on top of the first building board with the packing sheet interposed between the second building board and the first building board. The second building board has a fifth surface on the first building board side, and a sixth surface opposite the fifth surface. The fifth surface includes a second coating film surface. The fourth surface of the packing sheet on the second building board side is in contact with the second coating film surface. An absolute value of a difference between a 60-degree gloss value of the second coating film surface and a 60-degree gloss value of the fourth surface is 3.0 or less, and an absolute value of a difference between an 85-degree gloss value of the second coating film surface and an 85-degree gloss value of the fourth surface is 3.0 or less.
[0012] In such a configuration, the second coating film surface and the fourth surface that are in contact with each other in the second building board and the packing sheet have microscopic roughness profiles corresponding to their respective glosses. The further the values of both a difference in gloss value between the second coating film surface and the fourth surface when measuring a gloss value at a relatively small incident angle of 60 degrees in a gloss value measurement, and a difference in gloss value between the second coating film surface and the fourth surface when measuring a gloss value at a relatively large incident angle of 85 degrees in a gloss value measurement are below 3.0, the more closely the microscopic roughness profile of the second coating film surface and the microscopic roughness profile of the fourth surface resemble each other. For such a package, even if the second coating film surface of the second building board is pressed by the fourth surface of the packing sheet and deformed microscopically, the deformation is caused as a result of the microscopic roughness profile of the fourth surface that resembles the pre-deformation microscopic roughness profile of the pressed portion being transferred to the second coating film surface, for example. Therefore, at the pressed portion of the second coating film surface, the change in texture is suppressed and a new gloss is less likely to be generated.
[0013] In a preferred mode of the first aspect according to the present invention, the third surface of the packing sheet has a roughness profile in which a plurality of minute protrusions protruding to the first building board side are uniformly disposed. The configuration in which the minute protrusions are uniformly disposed on the third surface of the packing sheet is suitable for the minute protrusions to uniformly come into point contact with the first coating film of the first building board, and is suitable to efficiently disperse a pressing force applied when the first coating film surface of the first building board is pressed by the third surface of the packing sheet. Therefore, the configuration is suitable to suppress deformation of the pressed portion. Furthermore, all portions of the third surface of the packing sheet have a roughness profile that resembles the microscopic roughness profile of the first coating film surface of the first building board. Accordingly, even if the first coating film surface of the first building board is pressed by the third surface of the packing sheet and deformed microscopically, the deformation is caused as a result of the microscopic roughness profile of the third surface that resembles the pre-deformation microscopic roughness profile of the pressed portion being transferred to the first coating film surface, for example. Therefore, at the pressed portion of the first coating film surface, the change in texture is suppressed and a new gloss is less likely to be generated.
[0014] In a preferred mode of the first aspect according to the present invention, the third surface of the packing sheet has a roughness profile in which a plurality of minute protrusions protruding to the first building board side are uniformly disposed, and the fourth surface has a roughness profile in which a plurality of minute recesses are disposed at positions respectively corresponding to the plurality of minute protrusions. The configuration in which the minute protrusions are uniformly disposed on the third surface of the packing sheet is suitable for the minute protrusions to uniformly come into point contact with the first coating film of the first building board, and is suitable to efficiently disperse a pressing force applied when the first coating film surface of the first building board is pressed by the third surface of the packing sheet. Therefore, the configuration is suitable to suppress deformation of the pressed portion. In addition, the configuration in which the minute protrusions are uniformly disposed on the fourth surface of the packing sheet is suitable for the fourth surface of the packing sheet to uniformly come into point contact with the second coating film of the second building board, and is suitable to efficiently disperse a pressing force applied when the second coating film surface of the second building board is pressed by the fourth surface of the packing sheet. Therefore, the configuration is suitable to suppress deformation of the pressed portion. Furthermore, all portions of the third surface of the packing sheet have a roughness profile that resembles the microscopic roughness profile of the first coating film surface of the first building board. Accordingly, even if the first coating film surface of the first building board is pressed by the third surface of the packing sheet and deformed microscopically, the deformation is caused as a result of the microscopic roughness profile of the third surface that resembles the pre- deformation microscopic roughness profile of the pressed portion being transferred to the first coating film surface, for example. Therefore, at the pressed portion of the first coating film surface, the change in texture is suppressed and a new gloss is less likely to be generated. Furthermore, all portions of the fourth surface of the packing sheet have a roughness profile that resembles the microscopic roughness profile of the second coating film surface of the second building board. Accordingly, even if the second coating film surface of the second building board is pressed by the fourth surface of the packing sheet and deformed microscopically, the deformation is caused as a result of the microscopic roughness profile of the fourth surface that resembles the pre-deformation microscopic roughness profile of the pressed portion being transferred to the second coating film surface, for example. Therefore, at the pressed portion of the second coating film surface, the change in texture is suppressed and a new gloss is less likely to be generated.
[0015] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a method for manufacturing a package is provided. The manufacturing method includes a preparing step and a stacking step. In the preparing step, a first building board having a first surface including a first coating film surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, and a packing sheet having a third surface and a fourth surface opposite the third surface are prepared. In the stacking step, the first building board and the packing sheet are stacked on top of each other such that the first coating film surface and the third surface are in contact with each other. An absolute value of a difference between a 60-degree gloss value of the first coating film surface and a 60-degree gloss value of the third surface is 3.0 or less, and an absolute value of a difference between an 85- degree gloss value of the first coating film surface and an 85-degree gloss value of the third surface is 3.0 or less.
[0016] In the present manufacturing method, the first coating film surface of the first building board and the third surface of the packing sheet have microscopic roughness profiles. The further the values of both a difference in gloss value between the first coating film surface and the third surface when measuring a gloss value at a relatively small incident angle of 60 degrees in a gloss value measurement, and a difference in gloss value between the first coating film surface and the third surface when measuring a gloss value at a relatively large incident angle of 85 degrees in a gloss value measurement are below 3.0, the more closely the microscopic roughness profile of the first coating film surface and the microscopic roughness profile of the third surface resemble each other.
[0017] When the first coating film surface of the first building board and the third surface of the packing sheet that have microscopic roughness profiles resembling each other are stacked on top of each other so as to be in contact with each other, and the first coating film surface of the first building board is protected by the third surface of the packing sheet, even if the first coating film surface of the first building board is pressed by the third surface of the packing sheet and deformed microscopically, the deformation is caused as a result of the microscopic roughness profile of the third surface that resembles the pre- deformation microscopic roughness profile of the pressed portion being transferred to the first coating film surface, for example. Therefore, at the pressed portion of the first coating film surface, the change in texture is suppressed and a new gloss is less likely to be generated.
[0018] Preferably, the present manufacturing method further includes a step of stacking a second building board having a fifth surface including a second coating film surface, and a sixth surface opposite the fifth surface, on top of the first building board with the packing sheet interposed between the second building board and the first building board such that the second coating film surface and the fourth surface of the packing sheet are in contact with each other. An absolute value of a difference between a 60-degree gloss value of the second coating film surface and a 60-degree gloss value of the fourth surface is 3.0 or less, and an absolute value of a difference between an 85-degree gloss value of the second coating film surface and an 85-degree gloss value of the fourth surface is 3.0 or less.
[0019] In such a configuration, the second coating film surface and the fourth surface that are in contact with each other in the second building board and the packing sheet have microscopic roughness profiles corresponding to their respective glosses. The further the values of both a difference in gloss value between the second coating film surface and the fourth surface when measuring a gloss value at a relatively small incident angle of 60 degrees in a gloss value measurement, and a difference in gloss value between the second coating film surface and the fourth surface when measuring a gloss value at a relatively large incident angle of 85 degrees in a gloss value measurement are below 3.0, the more closely the microscopic roughness profile of the second coating film surface and the microscopic roughness profile of the fourth surface resemble each other. When the second coating film surface of the second building board and the fourth surface of the packing sheet that have microscopic roughness profiles resembling each other are stacked on top of each other so as to be in contact with each other, and the second coating film surface of the second building board is protected by the fourth surface of the packing sheet, even if the second coating film surface of the second building board is pressed by the fourth surface of the packing sheet and deformed microscopically, the deformation is caused as a result of the microscopic roughness profile of the fourth surface that resembles the pre-deformation microscopic roughness profile of the pressed portion being transferred to the second coating film surface, for example. Therefore, at the pressed portion of the second coating film surface, the change in texture is suppressed and a new gloss is less likely to be generated.
[0020] In a preferred mode of the first aspect according to the present invention, the third surface of the packing sheet has a roughness profile in which a plurality of minute protrusions protruding to the first building board side are uniformly disposed. The configuration in which the minute protrusions are uniformly disposed on the third surface of the packing sheet is suitable for the minute protrusions to uniformly come into point contact with the first coating film of the first building board, and is suitable to efficiently disperse a pressing force applied when the first coating film surface of the first building board is pressed by the third surface of the packing sheet. Therefore, the configuration is suitable to suppress deformation of the pressed portion. Furthermore, all portions of the third surface of the packing sheet have a roughness profile that resembles the microscopic roughness profile of the first coating film surface of the first building board. Accordingly, even if the first coating film surface of the first building board is pressed by the third surface of the packing sheet and deformed microscopically, the deformation is caused as a result of the microscopic roughness profile of the third surface that resembles the pre-deformation microscopic roughness profile of the pressed portion being transferred to the first coating film surface, for example. Therefore, at the pressed portion of the first coating film surface, the change in texture is suppressed and a new gloss is less likely to be generated.
[0021] In a preferred mode of the first aspect according to the present invention, the third surface of the packing sheet has a roughness profile in which a plurality of minute protrusions protruding to the first building board side are uniformly disposed, and the fourth surface has a roughness profile in which a plurality of minute recesses are disposed at positions respectively corresponding to the plurality of minute protrusions. The configuration in which the minute protrusions are uniformly disposed on the third surface of the packing sheet is suitable for the minute protrusions to uniformly come into point contact with the first coating film of the first building board, and is suitable to efficiently disperse a pressing force applied when the first coating film surface of the first building board is pressed by the third surface of the packing sheet. Therefore, the configuration is suitable to suppress deformation of the pressed portion. In addition, the configuration in which the minute protrusions are uniformly disposed on the fourth surface of the packing sheet is suitable for the fourth surface of the packing sheet to uniformly come into point contact with the second coating film of the second building board, and is suitable to efficiently disperse a pressing force applied when the second coating film surface of the second building board is pressed by the fourth surface of the packing sheet. Therefore, the configuration is suitable to suppress deformation of the pressed portion. Furthermore, all portions of the third surface of the packing sheet have a roughness profile that resembles the microscopic roughness profile of the first coating film surface of the first building board. Accordingly, even if the first coating film surface of the first building board is pressed by the third surface of the packing sheet and deformed microscopically, the deformation is caused as a result of the microscopic roughness profile of the third surface that resembles the pre- deformation microscopic roughness profile of the pressed portion being transferred to the first coating film surface, for example. Therefore, at the pressed portion of the first coating film surface, the change in texture is suppressed and a new gloss is less likely to be generated. Furthermore, all portions of the fourth surface of the packing sheet have a roughness profile that resembles the microscopic roughness profile of the second coating film surface of the second building board. Accordingly, even if the second coating film surface of the second building board is pressed by the fourth surface of the packing sheet and deformed microscopically, the deformation is caused as a result of the microscopic roughness profile of the fourth surface that resembles the pre-deformation microscopic roughness profile of the pressed portion being transferred to the second coating film surface, for example. Therefore, at the pressed portion of the second coating film surface, the change in texture is suppressed and a new gloss is less likely to be generated. Brief Description of Drawings

[0023] FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a package X1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The package X1 includes a first building board 10, and a packing sheet 20 stacked on top of the first building board 10.
[0024] The first building board 10 has a first surface 11 on the packing sheet 20 side, and a second surface 12 opposite the first surface 11. The first surface 11 includes a first coating film surface 11A.
[0025] The first coating film surface 11A can be formed, for example, by applying a coating material to the first surface 11, and drying the coating material, to form a coating film. Examples of the coating material include an acrylic resin coating material, a silicone-acrylic resin coating material, a silicone resin coating material, a fluororesin coating material, and a urethane resin coating material. The coating material may contain resin beads, a pigment, and a filler. The thickness of the coating film is 10 to 100 pm, for example. The first coating film surface 11A may have a layered structure including a plurality of resin films. For example, the first coating film surface 11A may have a layered structure including an undercoating film, an intermediate coating film, and a clear coating film in this order.
[0026] The packing sheet 20 includes a third surface 21 on the first building board 10 side, and a fourth surface 22 opposite the third surface 21. The third surface 21 is in contact with the first coating film surface 11A. Preferably, the third surface 21 has a roughness profile in which a plurality of minute protrusions protruding to the first building board 10 side are uniformly disposed.
[0027] The packing sheet 20 is a thin sheet that covers the first coating film surface 11A of the first building board 10 to protect the first coating film surface 11A. The packing sheet 20 may have any shape that can cover the first coating film surface 11A, and may be a single sheet, a stack of two or more sheets, or a tubular sheet. The packing sheet 20 may also be disposed so as to cover only the first coating film surface 11A, or may also be disposed so as to envelope the entire first building board 10.
[0028] Examples of the material constituting the packing sheet 20 include a resin film. Examples of the resin film include polyethylene, polypropylene, vinyl chloride, nylon, polyester, polyvinyl alcohol, an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, and triacetate. The packing sheet 20 may be a laminate film of a plurality of resin films. The packing sheet 20 may also be a laminate of a resin film and cloth or paper.
[0029] The roughness profile of the packing sheet 20 can be formed by a method such as incorporation of inorganic or organic particles when manufacturing a packing sheet, transferring of the surface profile of a metal roll, physical embossing through spraying of sand or the like, and chemical etching.
[0030] The thickness of the packing sheet 20 is not particularly limited, but is preferably 40 to 500 pm for a resin film and a laminate film, and is preferably 100 to 500 um for a laminate of a resin film and cloth or paper.
[0031] In the package X1, an absolute value of a difference between a 60- degree gloss value of the first coating film surface 11A and a 60-degree gloss value of the third surface 21 is 3.0 or less, and an absolute value of a difference between an 85-degree gloss value of the first coating film surface 11A and an 85-degree gloss value of the third surface 21 is 3.0 or less.
[0032] FIG. 4 shows a method for manufacturing the package X1. The manufacturing method includes a preparing step and a stacking step as described below.
[0033] In the preparing step, a first building board 10 having a first surface 11 including a first coating film surface 11A and a second surface 12 opposite the first surface 11, and a packing sheet 20 including a third surface 21 and a fourth surface 22 opposite the third surface 21 are prepared.
[0034] In the stacking step, the first building board 10 and the packing sheet 20 are stacked on top of each other such that first coating film surface 11A and the third surface 21 are in contact with each other. As described above, an absolute value of a difference between a 60-degree gloss value of the first coating film surface 11A and a 60-degree gloss value of the third surface 21 is 3.0 or less, and an absolute value of a difference between an 85-degree gloss value of the first coating film surface 11A and an 85-degree gloss value of the third surface 21 is 3.0 or less.
[0035] In the package X1, the first coating film surface 11A and the third surface 21 that are in contact with each other in the first building board 10 and the packing sheet 20 that are stacked on top of each other have microscopic roughness profiles corresponding to their respective glosses. The further the values of both a difference in gloss value between the first coating film surface and the third surface when measuring a gloss value at a relatively small incident angle of 60 degrees in a gloss value measurement, and a difference in gloss value between the first coating film surface and the third surface when measuring a gloss value at a relatively large incident angle of 85 degrees in a gloss value measurement are below 3.0, the more closely the microscopic roughness profile of the first coating film surface 11A and the microscopic roughness profile of the third surface 21 resemble each other.
[0036] For such a package X1, even if the first coating film surface 11A of the first building board 10 is pressed by the third surface 21 of the packing sheet 20 and deformed microscopically in a state in which the packages X1 are stacked in multiple tiers as shown in FIG. 5, for example, the deformation is caused by the microscopic roughness profile of the third surface 21 that resembles the pre-deformation microscopic roughness profile of the pressed portion (e.g., the microscopic roughness profile of the third surface 21 is transferred to the first coating film surface 11A). Therefore, at the pressed portion of the first coating film surface 11A, the change in texture is suppressed and a new gloss is less likely to be generated. FIG. 5 illustratively shows a state in which packages X1 are stacked in four tiers on a pallet P.
[0037] As described thus far, the package X1 is suitable to suppress generation of a gloss that could be caused as a result of pressing a coating film on a surface of a building board.
[0038] Preferably, as described above, the third surface 21 has a roughness profile that includes a plurality of minute protrusions protruding to the first building board 10 side and in which the minute protrusions are uniformly disposed. Such a configuration is suitable to efficiently disperse a pressing force applied when the first coating film surface 11A of the first building board 10 is pressed by the third surface 21 of the packing sheet 20, and is therefore suitable to suppress deformation of the pressed portion.
[0039] FIG. 6 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a package X2 according to a second embodiment of the present invention. The package X2 includes a first building board 10, a packing sheet 20, and a second building board 30. The package X2 is different from the above-described package X1 in that the package X2 further includes the second building board 30.
[0040] The second building board 30 has a fifth surface 31 on the first building board 10 side, and a sixth surface 32 opposite the fifth surface 31, and is stacked on top of the first building board 10 with the packing sheet 20 interposed between the second building board 30 and the first building board 10. The fifth surface 31 includes a second coating film surface 31A.
[0041] In the present embodiment, the fourth surface 22 of the packing sheet 20 on the second building board 30 side is in contact with the second coating film surface 31A. Inthe present embodiment, the third surface of the packing sheet 20 has a roughness profile that includes a plurality of minute protrusions protruding to the first building board 10 side and in which the minute protrusions are uniformly disposed, and the fourth surface 22 has a roughness profile including a plurality of minute recesses at positions respectively corresponding to the plurality of minute protrusions.
[0042] In the package X2, an absolute value of a difference between a 60- degree gloss value of the second coating film surface 31A and a 60-degree gloss value of the fourth surface 22 is 3.0 or less, and an absolute value of a difference between an 85-degree gloss value of the second coating film surface 31A and an 85-degree gloss value of the fourth surface 22 is 3.0 or less.
[0043] FIG. 7 shows a method for manufacturing such a package X2. The manufacturing method includes the above-described preparing step, the above- described stacking step (a first stacking step), and a stacking step (a second stacking step) as shown in FIG. 7.
[0044] In the second stacking step, a second building board 30 having a fifth surface 31 including a second coating film surface 31A and a sixth surface 32 opposite the fifth surface 31 is stacked on top of the first building board 10 with the packing sheet 20 interposed between the second building board 30 and the first building board 10 such that the second coating film surface 31A and the fourth surface 22 of the packing sheet 20 are in contact with each other. As described above, an absolute value of a difference between a 60-degree gloss value of the second coating film surface 31A and a 60-degree gloss value of the fourth surface 22 is 3.0 or less, and an absolute value of a difference between an 85-degree gloss value of the second coating film surface 31A and an 85- degree gloss value of the fourth surface 22 is 3.0 or less.
[0045] In the package X2 manufactured in this manner, the second coating film surface 31A and the fourth surface 22 that are in contact with each other in the second building board 30 and the packing sheet 20 have microscopic roughness profiles corresponding to their respective glosses. The further the values of both a difference in gloss value between the second coating film surface 31A and the fourth surface 22 when measuring a gloss value at a relatively small incident angle of 60 degrees in a gloss value measurement, and a difference in gloss value between the second coating film surface 31A and the fourth surface 22 when measuring a gloss value at a relatively large incident angle of 85 degrees in a gloss value measurement are below 3.0, the more closely the microscopic roughness profile of the second coating film surface 31A and the microscopic roughness profile of the fourth surface 22 resemble each other.
[0046] For such a package X2, even if the second coating film surface 31A of the second building board 30 is pressed by the fourth surface 22 of the packing sheet 20 and deformed microscopically in a state in which the packages X2 are stacked in multiple tiers as shown in FIG. 8, for example, the deformation is caused by the microscopic roughness profile of the fourth surface 22 that resembles the pre-deformation microscopic roughness profile of the pressed portion. Therefore, at the pressed portion of the second coating film surface 31A, the change in texture is suppressed and a new gloss is less likely to be generated. FIG. 8 illustratively shows a state in which the packages X2 are stacked in four tiers on a pallet P.
[0047] The package X2 provides the foregoing technical effect in addition to the above-described technical effect relating to the package X1.
[0048] Inthe packing sheet 20 of the present embodiment, as described above, the third surface 21 has a roughness profile that includes a plurality of minute protrusions protruding to the first building board 10 side and in which the minute protrusions are uniformly disposed, and the fourth surface 22 has a roughness profile that includes a plurality of minute recesses at positions respectively corresponding to the plurality of minute protrusions. Such a configuration is suitable to efficiently disperse a pressing force applied when the first coating film surface 11A of the first building board 10 is pressed by the third surface 21 of the packing sheet 20, or when the second coating film surface 31A of the second building board 30 is pressed by the fourth surface 22 of the packing sheet 20, and is therefore suitable to suppress deformation of the pressed portion. Examples Example 1 Production of Building board
[0049] First, an acrylic coating material was applied to a flat patterned design surface of an inorganic board (1820 mm x 470 mm X 16 mm, 17 kg), and was then dried, to form an intermediate coating film having a thickness of 20 um. Next, a silicone-acrylic coating material containing resin beads was applied onto the intermediate coating film, and was then dried, to form a matte clear coating film having a thickness of 10 um.
