[0080] ===Implementation Method===

[0081] Next, a sheet package that accommodates a buttocks wipe sheet for infants and young children will be described as an example of a sheet package according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0082] <<<Basic structure of sheet package 1>>>

[0083] Figure 1 A is a perspective view of the sheet package 1 before opening. Figure 1 B is a perspective view of the sheet package 1 after opening. Figure 2 It is a perspective view of a storage container 30 to be used together with the sheet package 1 .

[0084] The sheet package 1 includes: a sheet stack 11 in which a plurality of sheets 10 are stacked (layered) in a folded state; and a bag 20 configured to house the sheet stack 11 .

[0085] The sheet 10 may be a rectangular sheet made of, for example, nonwoven fabric or paper. The sheet 10 is a wet sheet impregnated with a chemical solution. In the present embodiment, the sheet 10 is a nonwoven fabric including hydrophilic fibers.

[0086] By including the hydrophilic fiber in the sheet 10, the sheet 10 can easily maintain a state of retaining the chemical solution, and can avoid drying of the sheet 10. Examples of the hydrophilic fiber may include, but are not limited to, cellulose-based fibers such as pulp fibers, cotton fibers, flax fibers, lyocell fibers, acetate fibers, rayon fibers (such as viscose rayon fibers, cuprammonium rayon fibers, modal fibers), etc., animal fibers such as wool, silk, cashmere, etc., and other chemical fibers and natural fibers.

[0087] In addition, the sheet 10 may include hydrophobic fibers. By including the hydrophobic fibers in the sheet 10, the bulkiness of the sheet 10 can be easily maintained. Examples of the hydrophobic fibers may include, but are not limited to, nylon fibers, vinylon fibers, polyester fibers, acrylic fibers, spandex fibers, polyethylene fibers, polypropylene fibers, and the like.

[0088] The fibers included in the sheet 10 may be monofilaments composed of a single component, or composite fibers composed of a plurality of components, or a combination thereof. In addition, the sheet 10 may include fibers made of a biodegradable material such as polylactic acid fibers.

[0089] Examples of methods for manufacturing nonwoven fabrics may include, but are not limited to, spunbond method, meltblown method, thermal bond method, air-through method, needle punch method, chemical bonding method, spun-lace method, etc. The spun-lace method is preferred because of its excellent softness and drape.

[0090] The bag 20 has an opening 21 at the center of its upper surface. The sheet 10 is taken out from the opening 21. As an example, Figure 1 A illustrates a bag 20 which is a rectangular parallelepiped gusset bag having side gussets. However, it should be noted that the shape and packaging form of the bag 20 are not particularly limited. The bag 20 also includes a sealing member 22 covering the opening 21 from the outer surface of the bag 20. Preferably, the sealing member 22 is a member that can be repeatedly attached to and peeled off from the main body of the bag 20. It should be noted that when the sheet package 1 is unsealed for the first time, the user can peel off the sealing member 22 so that a portion of the bag 20 is torn and the opening 21 is formed. In this way, the airtightness of the sheet package 1 before use can be further ensured.

[0091] Since the sheet 10 is a wet sheet, the material used to form the bag 20 is preferably liquid-impermeable, and examples thereof may include resin films. The material used to form the bag 20 may or may not have gas barrier properties, and may be transparent or opaque. Examples of materials that do not have gas barrier properties may include resin films made of polyethylene (PE). Examples of materials that have gas barrier properties may include: aluminum foil films; resin films made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), biaxially stretched polypropylene (OPP), etc.; vapor-deposited aluminum films; transparent vapor-deposited films, etc.

[0092] The material used to form the bag 20 may also include biomass plastic (plastic synthesized by using renewable biomass resources as a raw material).

[0093] The sheet package 1 itself can be used as the sheet package 1 alone, but can also be stored in a Figure 2 When the sheet package 1 is used alone, the user can cover the opening 21 with the sealing member 22 after taking out the sheet 10 without tearing off the sealing member 22 from the main body of the bag 20, thereby preventing the sheet 10 from drying out.

[0094] An example of the storage container 30 may be a container including: a main body 31 which is a substantially rectangular parallelepiped-shaped hollow container; and a bottom cover 32 which is a member configured to cover an opening in the bottom surface of the main body 31. The main body 31 has an upper cover 311 and an opening 312 in its upper surface. Figure 1 When the sheet package 1 from which the sealing member 22 is peeled off is stored in the main body portion 31 of the storage container 30 as shown in B, the opening 21 of the bag 20 is exposed from the opening 312 of the storage container 30, allowing the sheet 10 to be taken out. By closing the upper cover portion 311 of the storage container 31 after taking out the sheet 10, it is possible to avoid drying of the sheet 10. In order to replace the sheet package 1, the bottom cover portion 32 can be removed from the main body portion 31 to allow the sheet package 1 to be taken out and put in through the opening in the bottom surface of the main body portion 31.

[0095] ===First Embodiment===

[0096] Figure 3 A is a schematic cross-sectional view of the sheet package 1 . Figure 3 B and Figure 3 C is a diagram illustrating a state in which the sheet 10 has been folded. Figure 4 A is a diagram illustrating the indicator 40 . Figure 4 B is a diagram illustrating a modified example of the indicator 40 . Figure 5 It is a plan view of the sheet 10 in the unfolded state. Figure 6 and Figure 7 1 is a diagram illustrating a modified example of the indicator 40 . Figure 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of a method for manufacturing the sheet 10 . Fig. 9 A to Fig. 9 D is a diagram illustrating an example of a method of manufacturing the indication portion 40 . Fig.10 1 is a diagram illustrating a modification of the method for folding the sheet 10 .

[0097] The sheet 10 is in its unfolded state ( Figure 5 ) is rectangular and has a longitudinal direction, a width direction (transverse direction) and a thickness direction that are orthogonal to each other. The sheet 10 includes a first folded portion F1, a second folded portion F2 and a third folded portion F3 as three folded portions along the width direction. Figure 3 B and Figure 5 As shown, the end of one side in the longitudinal direction of the sheet 10 is folded back at the first folded portion F1 in such a manner that one surface 10a of the sheet 10 faces inward. Similarly, the end of the other side in the longitudinal direction of the sheet 10 is folded back at the third folded portion F3 in such a manner that one surface 10a of the sheet 10 faces inward. In addition, at the second folded portion F2 positioned between the first folded portion F1 and the third folded portion F3 in the longitudinal direction, the sheet 10 is folded back in such a manner that the other surface 10b of the sheet 10 faces inward. A plurality of these sheets 10 folded as described above are stacked (stacked) in the thickness direction of the sheet 10, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown in A.

[0098] In the bag 20, the up-down direction in which the plurality of sheets 10 are stacked may also be referred to as a "dispensing direction". In the dispensing direction, the upper side where the opening 21 of the bag 20 is located may be referred to as a "front end side", and the lower side opposite thereto may be referred to as a "stacking side". The sheets 10 are taken out from the opening 21 of the bag 20 in order, starting from the sheet 10 located at the front end side.

[0099] In addition, in the bag 20, the sheets 10 are stacked in a manner that one face 10a of each sheet 10 faces upward. The sheets 10 adjacent to each other in the dispensing direction (stacking direction) are stacked in a state where their orientations are reversed in the longitudinal direction. The folded portion of the second sheet 10 (e.g., sheet 10B) folded back at the first folded portion F1 is sandwiched between the folded portion (i.e., the portion located on the other side in the longitudinal direction) of the first sheet 10 (e.g., sheet 10A) located on the front end side folded back at the second folded portion F2. Therefore, when the user pulls out the sheet 10 located on the front end side, in association therewith, a part of the next sheet 10, i.e., the folded portion 10F folded back at the first folded portion F1, is exposed from the opening 21 of the bag 20. This makes it easy for the user to take out the next sheet 10. In particular, in the case where the sheet 10 is a wet sheet, the overlapping portion between the front end side sheet 10 and the next sheet 10 is easily stuck together, and the front end portion of the next sheet 10 can be easily pulled out together with the front end side sheet 10. In the sheets 10 stacked as described above, the “longitudinal direction” of the sheets 10 corresponds to the “dispensing direction” of taking the sheets 10 out of the bag 20 , and “one side” in the longitudinal direction of the sheets 10 corresponds to the “front end side” in the dispensing direction.

[0100] In other words, the sheet 10 is taken out in a state where the sheet 10 is stood up 90 degrees from its stacked state.

[0101] <<Indicator 40 Included in Sheet Stack 11>>

[0102] In the sheet stack 11 of the first embodiment, the "indicator 40" is provided on a certain sheet 10 taken out at a stage where the number of sheets 10 remaining in the bag 20 is reduced. In this example, the indicator 40 is provided on the sheet 10 taken out at a stage where the number of remaining sheets 10 is reduced to 5 sheets, that is, the indicator 40 is provided on the fifth to last sheet 10. However, it should be noted that the indicator 40 may be provided on the Nth (N≥1) sheet 10 in addition to the fifth to last sheet. It is preferred that the indicator 40 be provided on the sheet 10 among the last 10 sheets.

[0103] More specifically, the sheet stack 11 (the fifth-to-last sheet 10 ) includes at least one indicator portion 40 of the following four types of indicator portions (including a first indicator portion 41 to a fourth indicator portion 44 ).

[0104] Since the sheet 10 of the present embodiment is a buttocks wiping sheet for infants, in the following description, the "user" refers to a guardian, a caregiver, etc., and the "target" to be wiped with the sheet 10 is an infant or a toddler.

[0105] The first indicator 41 includes characters 40c constituting information notifying in advance that the sheet stack 11 is about to run out. Examples of the information notifying in advance that the sheet stack 11 is about to run out include "Almost empty!", "5 sheets left", and the like.

[0106] The second indication part 42 is an indication part including text 40c constituting information given from the user to the subject. Examples of information given from the user to the subject may include specific information that the user may say to the subject, such as "Does your cute little butt feel clean?", "Wow, a big meal and a big pile of poop!", "Feeling nice and clean", "Wow, you are growing so fast", "Growing stronger and stronger, feeling excited", "Thank you for being my baby", etc., as well as information that can realize the growth of the subject or evoke happy memories (original intention) when the subject was born.

[0107] The third indication part 43 is an indication part including text 40c constituting information given from the object to the user. Examples of information given from the object to the user may include information reflecting the object's feelings (feelings of gratitude to the user, feelings of love for the user, desire to play with the user, etc.), such as "Thank you, Mom", "My Dad", "Let's play together", "Let's sing together", "Hello Mamy", "I love Mamy", etc.

[0108] The fourth indication section 44 is an indication section including text 40c constituting information given to the user from a third party. Examples of information given to the user from a third party may include information of thanks or appreciation to the user, such as "thank you for your hard work every day", "thank you for everything you do", "you did a great job", etc.

[0109] By providing the indicator 40 on the Nth to last (the fifth in this example) sheet 10 in the sheet stack 11, the user who has seen the indicator 40 can be aware that the number of sheets 10 remaining in the bag 20 is small. In particular, in the case where the sheet package 1 is stored in the storage container 30 for use, it is difficult to know the remaining amount of the sheets 10. In this case, the indicator 40 makes it possible to grasp the remaining amount of the sheets 10, and therefore, it is possible to prevent the situation where the sheets 10 run out in the middle of changing a diaper and the user gets frustrated / panicked.

[0110] In addition, the indicator 40 of the present embodiment includes text 40c constituting at least one of the above four types of information. Therefore, compared with the case where an indicator consisting of, for example, only a line (such as a strip of a line or a sheet, a printed line, etc.) is provided on the Nth to last sheet 10, it is possible to prevent the user from mistaking the indicator 40 on the sheet 10 for a foreign object that is accidentally included. In addition, the text 40c constituting the above four types of information may include numbers. For example, in the indicator 40 such as "Thanks for the past year" and "5 sheets left", numbers may be included.

[0111] In addition, the hip wiping sheet 10 of the present embodiment is mainly used when changing diapers. Diaper changing is a difficult task, not always a pleasant task for the user, and the user may sometimes feel uncomfortable. In particular, infants / young children may want to move around freely even when they are soiled with feces, and it is often the case that the user is in a hurry to perform tasks. The indicator portion including the text 40c can alleviate such negative feelings (uncomfortable feelings, rush, etc.) of the user using the current sheet 10.

[0112] For example, in the case where the sheet 10 is provided with the second indicator 42 (information given from the user to the object), the user who has seen the indicator is likely to re-recognize his / her feelings toward the object (joy of growth, gratitude for birth, etc.), and the negative feelings will fade. In addition, the second indicator 42 (e.g., "feeling nice and clean", "cute little butt", etc.) can be used in a manner that makes it easy for the user to perform the task while talking to the object. Therefore, compared with the case where the user performs the task silently, it is easier for the user to perform the task with a happy and positive feeling while communicating with the object.

[0113] In addition, when the sheet 10 is provided with the third indication portion 43 (information from the subject to the user), the user who has seen the indication portion can perceive the emotion from the subject (the emotion from the child who loves his / her mother), which can alleviate the negative emotion of the user. In particular, the user who takes care of a young child who cannot express his / her emotion in words can feel the love from the child and is more likely to change diapers and perform other tasks of taking care of the child with positive emotion.

[0114] In addition, in the case where the sheet 10 is provided with the fourth indication portion 44 (information given to the user from a third party), the user who has seen the indication portion is more likely to feel that he / she is appreciated and thanked, which can alleviate the user's negative feelings. By providing an indication portion including information that the user wants to hear from others, the emptiness and loneliness that the user often feels during childcare can be alleviated, and the user is more likely to change diapers and perform other childcare tasks with positive feelings.

[0115] In addition, when the sheet 10 is provided with the first indicator 41 (information notifying in advance that the sheet 10 is about to run out), the fact that the sheet stack 11 is about to run out (the fact that the remaining amount of the sheet 10 is low) can be easily communicated to the user compared to providing an indicator consisting of only lines. In particular, even a user who has no experience in using the sheet package 1 can understand that the sheet 10 is about to run out just by looking at the first indicator 41.

[0116] In addition, when the first indicator 41 is expressed in a cheerful and gentle tone (e.g., "Almost empty!"), the user is less likely to feel that he / she has received an emotionless instruction, but is more likely to feel warm and pleasant. Therefore, the negative emotions of the user who has seen the first indicator 41 can be alleviated.

[0117] In the above, the packaging body including the buttocks wiping sheet for babies and young children has been described as an example of a sheet packaging body, but as long as it is a packaging body of a sheet taken out from the bag 20 by the user and used to wipe an object other than the user, the sheet packaging body is not particularly limited. For example, the sheet packaging body can be a sheet packaging body for pets, in which case the user is a pet owner and the object is a pet (domestic pet). Alternatively, the sheet can be used for care, in which case the user is a caregiver and the object is a protected person. In addition, the sheet is not limited to the buttocks wiping sheet, and can be a sheet for wiping the body, hands, mouth, etc. of the object. In addition, in these cases, providing an indicator 40 (text 40c) on the sheet can alleviate the user's negative feelings when using the sheet to wipe and clean the difficult task of the object and / or easily convey to the user that the sheet stack is about to run out, and can also prevent the indicator 40 from being mistaken for a foreign body.

[0118] In addition, Figure 5 or Figure 6 The single sheet 10 shown as an example in the figure includes one type of indicator 40, but this is not a limitation. A single sheet 10 can include multiple types of indicators 40. For example, a single sheet 10 can include a fourth indicator 44 (e.g., "Thank you for your hard work every day") and a second indicator 42 (e.g., "A big poop!").

[0119] In addition, a single indicator 40 may include text 40c constituting a plurality of different information constituting the same type of indicator. For example, a single fourth indicator 44 may include text 40c constituting the information "Thank you for your hard work every day" and text 40c constituting the information "You did a good job".

[0120] In addition, Figure 4 In A, the indicator 40 is provided on the other surface 10b of the sheet 10 (the surface to which the sheet 10 is not folded back at the first folded portion F1). Conversely, the indicator 40 may be provided on one surface 10a of the sheet 10 (the surface to which the sheet 10 is folded back at the first folded portion F1), or may be provided on both surfaces 10a and 10b of the sheet 10.

[0121] In addition, it is preferred that the sheet 10 is a wet sheet impregnated with a chemical solution. In this way, the user can more easily wipe and clean the object with the sheet 10 than in the case of a dry sheet not impregnated with a liquid. In addition, the wet sheet can prevent diffuse reflection of light on the sheet surface compared to a dry sheet. Therefore, the visual recognizability of the indication portion 40 on the wet sheet is improved, and it becomes easier for the user to read the indication portion 40 (information 40c).

[0122] In particular, in the case where the sheet 10 includes hydrophilic fibers, it is easy to maintain the sheet 10 in a state where the chemical solution remains, and it is also easy to maintain the visual recognizability of the indication portion 40 on the sheet 10 .

[0123] It is to be noted that the impregnation rate of the chemical solution in the wet sheet (B / A×100(%), where the sheet is A(g) and the chemical solution is B(g)) is preferably 160% or higher, more preferably 200% or higher, and even more preferably 240% or higher. A high impregnation rate helps suppress uneven impregnation (a phenomenon in which a portion impregnated with the chemical solution and a portion not impregnated with the chemical solution are generated in the sheet 10), suppresses unevenness in the degree of diffuse reflection of light on the surface of the sheet 10, and improves visual recognizability of the indicator 40. In addition, suppressing uneven impregnation helps reduce the risk of mold growth in parts that are not impregnated with the chemical solution.

[0124] It should be noted that the chemical solution included in the sheet 10 may include various known ingredients used in the current technical field, including natural compounds, synthetic compounds, inorganic substances and organic substances, and ingredients used in wet sheets and cosmetics are preferred. Specific examples may include water, pH adjusters (e.g., lactic acid, etc.), preservatives or preservative aids (e.g., quaternary ammonium salts such as cetrimonium chloride, benzalkonium chloride, etc., organic acids such as sodium benzoate, polyaminopropyl biguanide, iodopropynyl butylcarbamate, cetylpyridinium chloride, chlorhexidine gluconate, potassium sorbate, etc.), solubilizers (e.g., glycols (propylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, butylene glycol), phenoxyethanol, ethanol, etc.), chelating agents (e.g., EDTA-2Na, etc.), moisturizers (e.g., sodium hyaluronate, glycerin, sorbitol, polyquaternium salts, cetearyl alcohol polyether, etc.) and surfactants (e.g., cationic surfactants, anionic surfactants, nonionic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants, etc.). However, it should be noted that the chemical solution has no particular restrictions on the ingredients, and not all of the above ingredients must be included. In addition, in addition to the above ingredients, thickeners, antioxidants, spices and / or extracts may also be included.

[0125] In addition, the sheet 10 may be a dry sheet that is not impregnated with a liquid. In this case, the sheet 10 can be used in a dry state to wipe and clean the object, but the sheet 10 may also be impregnated with a liquid (e.g., moisturizer, lotion, etc.) prepared by the user before wiping and cleaning the object. In this case, the liquid may be selected to match the preference of the user or the object. In addition, the material of the bag 20 for storing the dry sheet is not limited to a liquid-impermeable material, and a material such as paper may be used. In addition, the bag 20 may include or not include a sealing member 22 or a cover.

[0126] In addition, the indicator 40 may include a graphic element 40p. Examples of the graphic element 40p may include a picture illustrating something, a pattern (e.g., a polka dot pattern, a stripe pattern, a checkered pattern), a straight line, a curve, a symbol (e.g., a musical note, an exclamation mark), etc. Specific examples of the picture may include, but are not particularly limited to, a person, a cloud, a musical instrument, a footprint, a child's toilet (duck), a star, a heart, a car, an animal, a flower, grass, etc.

[0127] exist Figure 5 In the indication portion 40 (the fourth indication portion 44) shown in FIG. 1 , a clover graphic element 40p is provided on both sides of the text 40c indicating "Thank you for your hard work every day". Figure 6 In the indicator portion 40 (third indicator portion 43) shown, the text indicating "Sing with me" is surrounded by a heart graphic element 40p, and the indicator portion 40 also includes a character graphic element 40p and other graphic elements 40p such as stars. The size relationship between the size of the text 40c and the graphic element 40p is not particularly limited, and for example, Figure 5 As shown, the text 40c may have substantially the same size as the graphic element 40p, or as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, the text 40c can be formed in a part of the large graphic element 40p. The positional relationship between the text 40c and the graphic element 40p is also not particularly limited, and it is sufficient to set the text and the graphic element in the same sheet 10, although it is preferred that the text 40c and the graphic element 40p are positioned close to each other.

[0128] When the indicator 40 includes not only the text 40c but also the graphic element 40p, the design aesthetics of the indicator 40 can be improved and a sense of pleasure can be provided to the user. Therefore, the negative feelings of the user during use of the sheet 10 can be alleviated.

[0129] In addition, the graphic element 40p makes the entire indication portion 40 more eye-catching, and the indication portion 40 becomes easy to be noticed by the user. Figure 6As shown, by surrounding the text 40c with the heart-shaped graphic element 40p, it becomes easy for the user to focus on the text 40c and to read the text 40c.

[0130] In addition, the graphic element 40p enables the subject who cannot read text and the subject's siblings, etc. to grasp that the remaining amount of the sheet 10 is about to run out, and also likes the indicator. In particular, by rendering the graphic element 40p as something that a baby / toddler can like or a seasonal thing (such as an acorn, a Christmas tree, etc.), the user will be able to easily communicate with the subject by using the graphic element 40p. Therefore, the user's negative feelings during the use of the sheet 10 can be alleviated.

[0131] In addition, by arranging the text 40c along the linear graphic element 40p (see the following description), Fig.11 A), the indicator 40 can be provided over the entire width of the sheet 10. This will allow the user to easily notice the indicator 40. As a result, the indicator 40 helps alleviate the user's negative feelings and / or easily communicates to the user that the sheet stack 11 is about to run out.

[0132] In addition, if Figure 5 As shown, it is preferred that the indicator 40 includes all the text 40c constituting the message (e.g., "Thank you for your hard work every day"). In this way, the meaning of the message can be easily conveyed to the user who has seen the indicator 40. As a result, it helps to alleviate the user's negative feelings and / or easily convey that the sheet stack 11 is about to run out.

[0133] In addition, if Figure 5 As shown in FIG. 1 , in the case where the characters 40c included in the indicator portion 40 are arranged in the width direction of the sheet 10, it is preferred that at least a portion of the characters 40c included in the indicator portion 40 is positioned at the central portion 10C in the width direction of the sheet 10. It is more preferred that the center in the width direction of the information expressed by the characters 40c is aligned with the center in the width direction of the sheet 10. In this way, it becomes easy for the user to focus on the characters 40c included in the indicator portion 40, and it also becomes easy to read the characters 40c.

[0134] It should be noted that the central portion 10C in the width direction of the sheet 10 refers to the central area when the maximum length W1 in the width direction of the sheet 10 is divided into three. In addition, in the present embodiment, the transverse direction of the rectangular sheet 10 is defined as the width direction of the sheet 10, but the longitudinal direction of the sheet 10 may be defined as the width direction of the sheet 10. For example, although not shown, the characters 40c oriented in the transverse direction of the sheet 10 in the up-down direction may be arranged in the longitudinal direction (width direction) of the sheet 10.

[0135] The following reference Figure 8 An example of a method for manufacturing the sheet 10 is briefly described. Figure 8 In the process, the indicator 40 is first formed on the continuous sheet 10' continuously conveyed in a direction corresponding to the width direction of the sheet 10. Then, the continuous sheet 10' is cut at intervals of the product length W1 in the width direction of the sheet 10, thereby manufacturing the sheet 10.

[0136] like Figure 8 As shown, when a plurality of indicating portions 40 are arranged in a conveying direction on a continuous sheet 10', a manufacturing method of cutting the sheet 10 without considering the position of the indicating portion 40 (text 40c) can be adopted. In this case, the method for manufacturing the sheet 10 can be simplified, but the sheet 10 may be cut in the middle of the text (e.g., "Thank you for your hard work every day").

[0137] Therefore, the indicator portion 40 is not limited to a configuration including all the texts constituting the information (e.g., "Thank you for your hard work every day"), but may include only a portion of the text. In addition, the indicator portion 40 may be formed so that the parts of the text constituting the information are separated and reordered. More specifically, the sheet 10 may include an indicator portion 40 containing text 40c indicating "Thank you for your hard work every day", or the sheet 10 may include text 40c indicating "Thank you for your hard work" on one side in the width direction of the sheet 10, and text 40c indicating "every day" on the other side in the width direction of the sheet 10. Even in the case of these indicator portions 40, the user can infer the meaning of the information from the text 40c. As a result, the indicator portion 40 (text 40c) helps to alleviate the user's negative feelings and / or easily convey that the sheet stack 11 is about to run out.

[0138] In comparison, Figure 5 As shown, in the case where all the characters 40c constituting the information are set at the desired positions in the width direction of the sheet 10, a manufacturing method of cutting the continuous sheet body 10' according to the position of the indicator portion 40 in the continuous sheet body 10' can be adopted. For example, the cutting position can be determined by verifying the position of the indicator portion 40 using a camera or the like, or the cutting timing can be determined according to the timing of forming the indicator portion 40. In these cases, the method for manufacturing the sheet 10 may become complicated, but the sheet 10 having the indicator portion 40 including the easily readable characters 40c can be provided.

[0139] In addition, examples of methods for forming the indicator portion 40 may include a printing forming method, a concave-convex forming method, and a combination thereof. A specific example of the printing forming method may include a method of printing the indicator portion 40 onto the white sheet 10 by inkjet printing. Examples of the color of the indicator portion 40 may include blue, green, etc., but the color is not particularly limited. For example, by forming the indicator portion 40 by printing, the color of the indicator portion 40 is easily adjusted, and an indicator portion 40 with high visual recognizability can be formed. In addition, an example of the printing method may include an inkjet printing method. In this case, the content of the indicator portion 40 can be easily changed. Specific examples of the concave-convex forming method may include a method of forming a concave portion (compression groove) by applying compression (applying embossing) to the sheet 10 in the thickness direction in the portion where the indicator portion 40 is to be formed, and a method of forming a concave portion (compression groove) by reducing the basis weight (g / m 2 ) to form a concave portion (groove) (such as the method disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 6632579). The concave portion may be a through hole that penetrates the sheet 10. Even in these cases, the shadow formed by the concave and convex enables the user to visually recognize the indicator 40.

[0140] The following reference Fig. 9 A to Fig. 9 D briefly describes a manufacturing method (apparatus) for manufacturing a sheet 10 including an indicator portion 40 constituted by a recessed portion formed by processing the sheet 10W while conveying the sheet 10W. Fig. 9 A is a schematic diagram of an apparatus 50 for forming an indicating portion 40. The apparatus 50 includes a first suction drum 51, a second suction drum 52, a water supply device 53, a first water nozzle device 54, and a second water nozzle device 55. The sheet 10W manufactured in a sheet manufacturing device (not shown) is conveyed to the apparatus 50. The "sheet 10W" is a fiber laminate that has not been subjected to an entanglement treatment for entanglement of adjacent fibers. Examples of methods for manufacturing a fiber laminate may include, but are not particularly limited to, known methods such as air laying, spunbonding, and the like, and combinations thereof.

[0141] First, the sheet 10W is wrapped around the outer peripheral surface of the first suction drum 51 and conveyed in a sucked state. Fig. 9 As shown in FIG. 4 , the outer peripheral surface 51a (first support body) of the first suction drum 51 includes a concave-convex pattern (convex portion 51a2) according to the shape of the indicator portion 40, and the pattern is provided on a substrate having suction holes 51a1 through which liquid and gas can pass. The water supply device 53 and the first water nozzle device 54 positioned downstream thereof are provided to be opposite to the outer peripheral surface 51a of the first suction drum 51. The water supply device 53 supplies water to the sheet 10W, and the water in the sheet 10W is removed by the suction of the first suction drum 51, thereby reducing the thickness of the sheet 10W and increasing the fiber density (about 4×10- 2g / cm 3 to 8×10- 2 g / cm 3 ). In this way, the texture of the sheet 10W can be prevented from being damaged by the fibers in the sheet 10W being scattered due to the impact of the water flow ejected from the first water nozzle device 54 on the downstream side. It should be noted that the water supply device 53 is a device that simply wets the sheet 10W with water, and water is not supplied at a high pressure that can entangle the fibers in the sheet 10W.

[0142] Next, the first water nozzle device 54 sprays water at high pressure toward the sheet 10W, thereby transferring the concave-convex pattern on the first suction drum 51 to the sheet 10W while the fibers in the sheet 10W are entangled, thereby obtaining a semi-finished sheet 10P on which the indicator portion 40 has been formed. The water flow causes the sheet 10W to be pressed against the concave-convex pattern, thereby causing a portion of the fibers positioned on the convex portion 51a2 of the concave-convex pattern to move to the concave portion, thereby reducing the basis weight of the fibers in the portion corresponding to the indicator portion 40. Fig. 9 In the device 50 of A, the first water nozzle device 54 includes two nozzle units 541, 542 spaced apart in the conveying direction, and the pressure for ejecting the water flow increases step by step. In this way, on the upstream side, the fibers of the sheet 10W can be prevented from flying due to the sudden high-pressure water flow, and the fibers can be moved slightly, while on the downstream side, the high-pressure water flow can press the sheet 10W tightly against the concave-convex pattern, so that the mark 40 with high visual recognizability can be formed. However, it should be noted that the configuration is not limited to this, and the first water nozzle device 54 can be composed of a single nozzle unit. Fig. 9 B is a diagram illustrating one of the two nozzle units 541, 542 as examples. The lower surface (the surface opposite to the sheet 10W) ​​of each nozzle unit 541, 542 has a plurality of nozzles 54a for spraying water, and the nozzles are arranged in a cross direction (CD direction) orthogonal to the conveying direction, and the arrangement length is greater than or equal to the length of the sheet 10 in the CD direction. Therefore, the sheet 10 receives the water flow from the first water nozzle device 54 over the entire width in the CD direction. In this way, a semi-finished sheet 10P is produced, in which a concave portion (low basis weight portion) corresponding to the indicator portion 40 is formed. As described above, by transferring the concave-convex pattern while entangled the fibers of the sheet 10W, it is easy for the fibers of the sheet 10W to move according to the concave-convex pattern, and the visual recognizability of the concave-convex pattern (indicator portion 40) is improved. In addition, the pressure of the water flow of the first water nozzle device 54 can be reduced, and production efficiency can be improved.

[0143] Next, the semi-finished sheet 10P is wrapped onto the outer peripheral surface of the second suction drum 52 and conveyed in a sucked state. The outer peripheral surface 52a (second support body) of the second suction drum 52 is composed of a substrate having suction holes, and no convex-concave pattern is provided thereon. The second water nozzle device 55 is arranged opposite to the outer peripheral surface 52a of the second suction drum 52. The semi-finished sheet 10P is wrapped onto the second suction drum 52 in such a manner that the inner surface 10Wb facing inward faces outward when the sheet 10W is wrapped onto the first suction drum 51. Therefore, the surface 10Wa of the sheet that receives the water flow from the first water nozzle device 54 is on the opposite side of the surface 10Pb (10Wb) of the semi-finished sheet that receives the water flow from the second water nozzle device 55. In addition, as Fig. 9 As shown in FIG. 2 , the semi-finished sheet 10P includes a concavo-convex pattern existing region Rp where the indicator portion 40 (concavo-convex pattern) exists and a non-existing region Rn where the indicator portion 40 does not exist. The second water nozzle device 55 sprays water at high pressure onto the non-existing region Rn of the semi-finished sheet 10P to further entangle the fibers. In order to achieve this goal, as shown in FIG. Fig. 9 As shown in FIG. 2D , the nozzle 55a may not be provided in the portion opposite to the existence region Rp on the lower surface of the second water nozzle device 55, or water spraying from the nozzle 55a opposite to the existence region Rp may be stopped.

[0144] This promotes entanglement between fibers while maintaining the shape of the indicator 40 (concavoconvex pattern), thereby increasing the strength of the semi-finished sheet 10P. It should be noted that since the first water nozzle device 54 and the second water nozzle device 55 spray water streams onto different sides of the sheet 10W, this helps to easily entangle the fibers on both sides of the sheet 10W, but the devices may spray water streams onto the same side.

[0145] Then, the semi-finished sheet 10P is subjected to a dehydration step, a drying step (fiber fusion step), etc., which are not shown, and the semi-finished sheet 10P is finished into a continuous body of the sheet 10 having the indicator portion 40 (concavoconvex pattern) formed thereon, and then the continuous body is cut into units having a product size, thereby manufacturing the sheet 10. Compared with the case where the indicator portion 40 is formed by using an additive such as printing ink, by forming the indicator portion 40 by spraying a water flow as described above, the user can use the sheet 10 with peace of mind. For example, compared with the case where the indicator portion 40 is formed by a compressed groove (high rigidity portion), this also helps to ensure the softness of the sheet 10 and improve the comfort of wiping. In particular, in the case where the sheet is used to wipe and clean an object (baby / infant, family pet, elderly, etc.) that is different from the user and has relatively sensitive skin, the sheet 10 of the present embodiment can be used with peace of mind, so that the sheet 10 with excellent softness can be effectively applied. In addition, since the basis weight of the fiber in the portion where the indicator portion 40 is formed is low, it is easy for the user to see the skin of the object through the sheet 10 and confirm the area to be wiped clean.

[0146] On the other hand, in the case where the indicator portion 40 is to be formed by printing, it is preferable to print the indicator portion 40 using ink including a pigment. In the case of using the pigment ink, the pigment adheres to the surface of the fiber in the sheet 10, and therefore, compared with the case of using the dye ink, the indicator portion 40 is not easily smeared, and the visual recognizability of the indicator portion 40 is improved. In addition, compared with the indicator portion 40 formed by dyeing the sheet 10 as a wet sheet with the dye ink, the indicator portion 40 formed by fixing the pigment to the sheet 10 can prevent the migration of the ink to the object.

[0147] It is to be noted that the pigment included in the ink may be an inorganic pigment or an organic pigment, and may be selected from known pigments. Alternatively, the indicator portion 40 may be printed using dye ink, and the dye may be selected from known dyes. In addition, by observing the indicator portion 40 on the sheet 10 using an optical microscope or the like and verifying the presence / absence of the pigment, it may be verified that the indicator portion 40 has been printed using the pigment ink.

[0148] In addition, in the case where the indicator portion 40 is to be formed by printing, it is preferable to print the indicator portion 40 using ink that does not contain a preservative. More specifically, it is preferable to form the indicator portion 40 using ink that does not contain, as a preservative, a compound described in Appendix 1 (negative list) of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare Notification No. 331 of September 29, 2000, "Standards for Cosmetics".

[0149] That is, it is preferred that the ink used for printing the indicator portion 40 does not include a preservative selected from 6-acetoxy-2,4-dimethyl-m-dioxane, antihistamines other than aminoether antihistamines (such as diphenhydramine), hormones other than estradiol, estrone and ethinyl estradiol and their derivatives, vinyl chloride monomers, dichloromethane, bismuth compounds other than bismuth oxychloride, hydrogen peroxide, cadmium compounds, sodium perborate, chloroform, pregnenolone acetate, dichlorophen, mercury and its compounds, strontium compounds, sulfonamides and their derivatives, selenium compounds, nitrofuranyl compounds, hydroquinone monobenzyl ether, halogenated salicylanilide, vitamins L1 and L2, thiobisdichlorophen, pilocarpine, pyrogallol, inorganic fluorine compounds, pregnanediol, procaine, hexachlorophene, boric acid, formalin and methanol and other local anesthetics.

[0150] In this way, the ink forming the indicator portion 40 can be prevented from causing irritation to the subject's skin, and the sheet 10 can be safely used. Therefore, the user can use the sheet 10 with peace of mind. However, it should be noted that the composition of the ink used to print the indicator portion 40 is not limited to the above, and ink containing a preservative may be used.

[0151] In addition, if Figure 4 A and Figure 5As shown, the sheet 10 has a dispensing direction in which the sheet is taken out from the bag 20. In the present embodiment, the longitudinal direction of the sheet 10 corresponds to the dispensing direction of the sheet 10. In addition, the sheet 10 includes a folded portion along a width direction orthogonal to the dispensing direction, and includes a first folded portion F1 positioned closest to the front end side (the side to be taken out first) in the dispensing direction. In this case, it is preferred that Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 1A , at least a portion of the indicator 40 (in the thickness direction of the sheet 10 ) does not overlap with the portion (the folded portion 10F) of the sheet 10 folded back at the first folded portion F1 . More preferably, the entire indicator 40 does not overlap with the folded portion 10F of the sheet 10 .

[0152] As in the present embodiment, when the indicator 40 is formed (particularly printed) on the surface 10b of the sheet 10 on the side opposite to the side to which the sheet 10 is folded back at the first folding portion F1, the indicator 40 can be seen and visually recognized through the surface 10a on the side to which the sheet 10 is folded back, as shown in FIG. 3C. Therefore, in this case, the indicator 40 that can be visually seen through can be prevented from being covered by the folding portion 10F of the sheet 10 and becoming less visible. In addition, although not shown in the figure, when the indicator 40 is formed on the surface 10a to which the sheet 10 is folded back at the first folding portion F1, the indicator 40 (printed surface) can also be prevented from being covered by the folding portion 10F of the sheet 10 and becoming less visible. In these cases, the indicator 40 is easy to be visually recognized from both sides 10a, 10b of the sheet 10, so that the user can easily notice the indicator 40.

[0153] In particular, if Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 1A , even when the sheet 10 is exposed from the opening 21 of the bag 20 in a state of being folded back at the first folded portion F1 and when the user pulls out the sheet 10 by holding the folded back portion 10F, the indicator portion 40 is easily visually recognized by the user. As a result, the indicator portion 40 (characters 40c) helps to alleviate the user's negative feelings and / or easily convey that the sheet stack 11 is about to be used up. In addition, when the entirety of the indicator portion 40 is not covered by the folded back portion 10F of the sheet 10, the user can easily read the characters 40c of the indicator portion 40 without turning over the folded back portion 10F.

[0154] However, it should be noted that, contrary to the above, the entirety of the indicator portion 40 (in the thickness direction of the sheet 10) may overlap with the portion of the sheet 10 that is folded back at the first folded portion F1 located closest to the leading end side in the dispensing direction (i.e., the folded back portion 10F), as shown in FIG. Figure 4 B is a modified example.

[0155] In this way, as in the present embodiment, in the case where the indicator 40 is formed on the face 10b on the opposite side to the side toward which the sheet 10 is folded back at the first folding portion F1, the indicator 40 will be provided in the portion where the sheet 10 is stacked in two layers. In this portion where the sheet 10 is stacked, the back surface of the sheet 10 is less likely to be seen through, thereby improving the visual recognizability of the indicator 40. For example, in the case where the sheet 10 is white, the white color will become darker. Therefore, the contrast between the indicator 40 and the portion of the sheet 10 surrounding the indicator will increase, and the visual recognizability of the indicator 40 will improve.

[0156] On the other hand, although not shown, in the case where the indication portion 40 is formed on the face 10a to which the sheet 10 is folded back at the first folded portion F1, the indication portion 40 will be visually seen through the folded back portion 10F. Therefore, the user is more likely to become interested in what is written on the sheet 10 (indication portion 40), and since the indication 40 will appear when the user turns over the folded back portion 10F of the sheet 10, the user can read the indication portion 40 with pleasure.

[0157] It should be noted that, regarding the sheet 10 of the present embodiment (e.g., sheet 10B), in the bag 20, the folded portion 10F folded back at the first folded portion f1 on the front end side is sandwiched between the folded portions folded back at the second folded portion f2 of the previous sheet 10 (e.g., sheet 10A), as shown in FIG. Figure 3 A. Therefore, when the previous sheet 10 is taken out of the bag 20, the next sheet is easily exposed from the opening 21 while maintaining the folded state of the first folded portion f1. In this case, the user can firmly pinch the two-layer and rigid folded portion 10F. In addition, the folded portion 10F is not easily stretched when the sheet 10 is taken out, so it is easy to separate the sheet 10 from the sheet stack 11, which is convenient for distribution.

[0158] However, it is noted that the method for folding the sheet 10 within the bag 20 is not limited to Figure 3 A. For example, Fig.10As shown, the sheet can be folded into a Z shape, wherein both end portions in the longitudinal direction of the sheet 10 are folded back toward opposite sides at the first folding portion f1 and the second folding portion F2, respectively. In addition, a portion of the next sheet 10 does not have to be sandwiched between the folds of the previous sheet 10, in which case it is easy to take out the sheets 10 one by one. Alternatively, the sheet can be folded at the folding portions not only along one direction of the sheet, but also along two directions. Although not shown, another example of the folding method may involve first folding both sides in the width direction of the sheet, and then folding the sheet in half in a direction orthogonal to the width direction of the sheet. In this case, the number of folding portions for the side portions in the width direction is arbitrary, and in the case where there are multiple folding portions, the folding directions may all be mountain folds, or may all be valley folds, or may be a combination of mountain folds and valley folds.

[0159] In addition, when a multi-stand-type folder is used, it is easy to print the indicator 40 along the width direction of the sheet 10, such as Figure 5 When a bag folder or an interfolder is used, it is easy to print the indicator 40 along the longitudinal direction of the sheet 10, such as Figure 7 However, the folding machine is not particularly limited. Preferably, printing the indicator 40 parallel to the machine direction of the sheet helps improve production efficiency.

[0160] The positional relationship between the indicator portion 40 and the folded portion 10F of the sheet 10 has been described above. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The protrusion height h of the sheet 10 shown in A from the bag 20 determines the position of the indicator 40. The "protrusion height h" refers to the length of the portion of the next sheet 10 exposed from the bag 20 (opening 21) in the dispensing direction (in this example, the longitudinal direction) when the previous sheet 10 has been taken out of the bag 20.

[0161] In the case where the indicator 40 is positioned at the portion of the sheet 10 corresponding to the protrusion height h, the indicator 40 is positioned at the portion exposed in advance from the storage container 30 and the bag 20. Therefore, the indicator 40 becomes easy to be noticed by the user. On the other hand, in the case where the indicator 40 is located closer to the stacking side than the portion of the sheet 10 corresponding to the protrusion height h, the indicator 40 will appear as a result of the user taking the sheet 10 out of the bag 20; this will provide a sense of surprise, and the user can use the sheet 10 with pleasure.

[0162] It is to be noted that "the portion of the sheet 10 corresponding to the protrusion height h" (i.e., the portion of the sheet 10 exposed from the bag 20) refers to the portion of the sheet 10 corresponding to the protrusion height h. Figure 3 In the case where the front end portion of the sheet 10 shown in the sheet stack 11 shown in A is exposed in a folded state, the sheet 10 extends from the front end of the folded portion 10F (i.e., from the first folded portion f1) toward the inside in the longitudinal direction over a length h (see Figure 5 ). On the other hand, as in Fig.10 In the sheet stack 11 shown in the figure, when the front end of the sheet 10 is exposed without being folded back, "the portion of the sheet 10 corresponding to the protruding height h" refers to a section of the sheet 10 spanning a length h from the front end in the dispensing direction of the sheet 10 toward the inside in the longitudinal direction.

[0163] In addition, in the sheet 10 of the present embodiment, the characters 40c included in the indicator portion 40 are arranged in the width direction of the sheet 10. In this case, Figure 5 As shown, it is preferred that the entire length W2 in the width direction of the text 40c constituting the message (e.g., "Thank you for your hard work every day") is less than or equal to the length W1 in the width direction of the sheet 10 (W2 ≤ W1). In this way, the entire message can be placed within the width direction range of the sheet 10, and the meaning of the message can be easily conveyed to the user who has seen the indicator 40. As a result, it helps to alleviate the user's negative feelings and / or easily convey that the sheet stack 11 is about to run out.

[0164] In addition, the entire length W2 of the characters 40c constituting the information in the width direction may be less than or equal to half (W1 / 2) of the length in the width direction of the sheet 10 (W2 ≤ W1 / 2). In this way, it is easier to fit the entire information within the width direction of the sheet 10 than in the case where the entire length W2 of the characters 40c constituting the information is greater than half of the length of the sheet 10. In particular, as in Figure 8 In the method for manufacturing the sheet 10 shown, even in the case where the continuous sheet 10' is cut without considering the position of the indicator 40 (text 40c) in the continuous sheet 10', the entire information is more easily placed in the sheet 10. In addition, making the information shorter allows the text 40c to be read immediately by the user, even if the user is busy changing a diaper, so that the information can be conveyed to the user without annoying the user.

[0165] In addition, the sheet 10 has a dispensing direction (in this example, the longitudinal direction of the sheet 10) for taking the sheet out of the bag 20, and as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 4A , it is preferred that the front end side of the sheet 10 in the dispensing direction coincides with the upper side of the text 40c included in the indicator portion 40. In this way, when the user pulls the sheet 10 out of the bag 20 by holding the front end portion of the sheet 10, the up-down orientation of the text 40c will be in a proper state, making it easy for the user to read the text 40c. In other words, the user does not need to change the orientation of the sheet 10 to read the text 40c.

[0166] In addition, Figure 4 In the indicator portion 40 shown as an example in FIG. 2A , the characters 40c included in the indicator portion 40 are arranged in a direction orthogonal to the dispensing direction of the sheet 10 (the width direction of the sheet 10 in this example, i.e., the transverse direction). In this case, when the user takes out the sheet 10 from the bag 20, the portion of the sheet 10 provided with the characters 40c will appear at substantially the same time, so the user can immediately read the characters 40c, achieving easy readability.

[0167] However, it is to be noted that the configuration is not limited to the above, and as in Figure 7 In the illustrated variation, the text 40c included in the indicator portion 40 may be arranged along the dispensing direction of the sheet 10 (in this example, the longitudinal direction of the sheet 10). In this way, when the user takes out the sheet 10 from the bag 20, the text 40c will gradually appear, and thus the text 40c will be more likely to gain the user's interest and attention. In addition, the user may also be happy to take out the sheet 10 from the bag 20. It should be noted that it is preferred that the text 40c is provided in the central portion in the width direction of the sheet 10, such as Figure 7 As shown. In this way, it becomes easy for the user to focus on the characters 40c. However, it should be noted that the configuration position of the characters 40c is not particularly limited.

[0168] ===Second Embodiment===

[0169] Fig.11 A and Fig.11 B is a diagram illustrating a combination of sheets 10 to be accommodated in the sheet package 1 of the second embodiment. In the first embodiment, the indicator 40 is provided on a sheet 10 which is the Nth-to-last sheet in the sheet stack 11. In the second embodiment, the indicator 40 is provided on a plurality of sheets 10 included in the sheet stack 11. It is to be noted that the indicator 40 may be provided on some of the sheets 10 included in the sheet stack 11, or the indicator 40 may be provided on all the sheets 10 included in the sheet stack 11. In addition, examples of methods for forming the indicator 40 may include a printing forming method (a method of providing the indicator 40 in a color different from the color of the sheet 10 or in a manner having a different color concentration), a concave-convex forming method, and the like. The method for forming the indicator 40 provided on each of the plurality of sheets 10 may be the same forming method or may be a different forming method. In addition, the indicator 40 on all sheets 10 having the indicator 40 may be the same (for example, as Figure 4 "Thank you for your hard work every day" as shown in A). However, it is preferable that the sheet laminate 11 satisfies at least one of the following two modes.

[0170] The first mode is a mode in which the sheet stack 11 includes a plurality of sheets 10, each of which includes a different type of indication portion 40 among four types of indication portions (first indication portion 41 to fourth indication portion 44). Figure 1 As shown in Figure A, the sheet stack 11 may include a sheet 10 including a fourth indicator 44 (e.g., "Thank you for everything you did") and a sheet 10 including a first indicator 41 (e.g., "Almost empty!"). It should be noted that it is preferred that the first indicator 41 is provided on the sheet 10 to be taken out at a stage when the remaining sheets 10 have become low, while the other types, i.e., the second indicator 42 to the fourth indicator 44, may be provided on any sheet 10.

[0171] The second mode is a mode in which the sheet stack 11 includes a plurality of sheets 10, each of which includes the same type of indication portion among the four types of indication portions (41 to 44), wherein the indication portion includes different information. Fig.11 As shown in B, the sheet stack 11 may include a sheet 10 including text 40c (information) indicating "Does your cute little butt feel clean?" belonging to the second indicator portion 42, and a sheet 10 including different text 40c (information) indicating "Wow, a big meal and a big pile of poop!" belonging to the same second indicator portion 42.

[0172] As described above, the plurality of sheets 10 in the sheet stack 11 may include different types of indication portions 40 or indication portions 40 having different information. In this way, the user is less likely to lose interest in the indication portion 40 on the sheet 10 and may enjoy the indication portion 40 each time he / she takes out the sheet 10 including the indication portion 40 from the bag 20. Therefore, the indication portion 40 may alleviate negative feelings during use of the sheet 10.

[0173] ===Third Embodiment===

[0174] Fig.12 A to Fig.12 C is a diagram illustrating a combination of sheets 10 to be housed in the sheet package 1 of the third embodiment. As in the second embodiment, in the third embodiment, the indicator 40 is also provided on a plurality of (some or all) sheets 10 included in the sheet stack 11. The sheet stack 11 of the third embodiment includes a plurality of sheets 10 provided with the indicator 40 printed in different colors, and can satisfy at least one of the following three modes.

[0175] The first mode is a mode in which the sheet stack 11 includes a plurality of sheets 10, each of which includes a different type of indicator portion among four types of indicator portions (41 to 44), and each of the different types of indicator portions is printed in a different color. Fig.12As shown in A, a sheet 10 including a fourth indicator 44 printed in a first color (eg, "Thanks for everything you do") and a sheet 10 including a first indicator 41 printed in a second color (eg, "Almost Empty!") may be included.

[0176] The second mode is a mode in which the sheet laminate 11 includes a plurality of sheets 10, the plurality of sheets 10 respectively include the same type of indicating portion 40 among the four types of indicating portions (41 to 44), and the indicating portion 40 includes different information printed in different colors, respectively. Fig.12 As shown in B, the sheet 10 may include the text 40c of the first color indicator portion "5 sheets left" belonging to the first indicator portion 41 and the sheet 10 may include the text 40c of the second color indicator portion "Almost empty!" belonging to the same first indicator portion 41.

[0177] The third mode is a mode in which the sheet stack 11 includes a plurality of sheets 10, the plurality of sheets 10 respectively include the same type of indicating portion 40 among the four types of indicating portions (41 to 44), and the indicating portion 40 includes information printed in respectively different colors. Fig.12 As shown in C, the sheet 10 may include the text 40c of the first color indicator “Thank you!” belonging to the fourth indicator 44 and the sheet 10 may include the text 40c of the second color indicator “Thank you!” also belonging to the fourth indicator 44.

[0178] As described above, the plurality of sheets 10 in the sheet stack 11 may include the indicator portions 40 of different colors. In this way, the impression of the indicator portion 40 will change, and the user is less likely to lose interest in the indicator portion 40 on the sheet 10, and may like the indicator portion 40 each time he / she takes out the sheet 10 including the indicator portion 40 from the bag 20. Therefore, the indicator portion 40 can alleviate the negative feelings during the use of the sheet 10. It is to be noted that a single indicator portion 40 may be printed in two or more colors, in which case it is preferred to vary the color combination for printing the indicator portion 40 depending on the individual sheets 10.

[0179] In addition, the color of the indicator 40 may be changed according to the remaining number of sheets 10. For example, the indicator 40 on the tenth last sheet 10 may be blue, and the indicator 40 on the fifth last sheet 10 may be red. Preferably, the relationship between the colors used according to the remaining number of sheets 10 is the same in a plurality of packages 1, in this way, the relationship between the color of the sheet 10 and the remaining number of sheets 10 can be imprinted in the user's mind. Therefore, the user can immediately recognize the remaining number of sheets 10 in stages according to the color of the indicator 40 on each sheet 10.

[0180] It is to be noted that when determining that "the color of the indicator portion 40 is different", in the case where the color difference can be recognized by visual observation, it can be determined that the color is different, or it can be determined by measuring the color difference between the target indicator portions 40 using a colorimeter. It is to be noted that the color difference measurement can be performed in a temperature-controlled room set to 20 degrees using a general-purpose colorimeter (for example, CR-300 of Konica Minolta or another equivalent device) (the color difference in the fourth embodiment is also measured in the same manner). Regarding the specific color difference, it is preferred to change the color of the indicator portion 40 on each sheet 10 in such a manner that the color difference is greater than or equal to the degree that the two colors being evaluated can be distinguished from each other even when they are positioned separately. More specifically, according to the color tolerance-based scale commonly adopted by Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) or other various industry associations, it can be found that the colors are different when the color difference (ΔE76) calculated, for example, according to the color difference formula in the L*a*b* color space conforming to CIE 1976 is 3.2 or greater, preferably 6.5 or greater, more preferably 13.0 or greater, and even more preferably 25.0 or greater.

[0181] ===Fourth Embodiment===

[0182] Fig.13 A and Fig.13 B is a diagram illustrating a sheet 10 to be housed in the sheet package 1 of the fourth embodiment. The sheet stack 11 of the fourth embodiment includes a sheet 10 having a dyed portion and further including an indication portion 40. The sheet stack 11 may include one such sheet 10, or a plurality of such sheets. Fig.13 The entire surface of the sheet 10 may be dyed as shown in A, or a portion of the sheet 10 may be dyed. The dyeing of the sheet 10 may be performed using known pigments, known dyes, or a combination thereof. In addition, the "dyed portion" included in the sheet 10 is not limited to the portion where the non-woven fabric portion of the sheet 10 has been dyed, and may be a dyed thread (such as a blue thread) sewn into the non-woven fabric portion of the sheet 10. That is, the dyed thread and the indicator 40 may be used to alleviate the user's negative emotions and / or communicate that the sheet laminate 11 is about to run out.

[0183] Since the dyed sheet 10 can change the impression of the indicator 40 and improve the design aesthetics of the sheet 10, it can provide a pleasant feeling to the user. Therefore, the negative feelings of the user can be alleviated. It should be noted that the color used to dye the sheet 10 and the color of the indicator 40 can be different colors, or can be the same color with different shades. The color difference between the color of the sheet 10 and the color of the indicator 40 can preferably be a color difference greater than or equal to the degree that the two colors being evaluated can be distinguished from each other even if they are located adjacently. More specifically, according to the color tolerance-based grades generally adopted by Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) or other various industry associations, it is preferred that the color difference (ΔE76) calculated, for example, according to the color difference formula in the L*a*b* color space conforming to CIE 1976 is 0.8 or more, preferably 1.6 or more, more preferably 3.2 or more, more preferably 6.5 or more, more preferably 13.0 or more, and even more preferably 25.0 or more.

[0184] In addition, when other sheets 10 included in the sheet stack 11 are not dyed, the dyed sheet 10 will be easily conspicuous, and the indicator 40 on the sheet 10 is easy to get the user's attention. As a result, the indicator 40 (text 40c) helps to alleviate the user's negative feelings and / or easily convey that the sheet stack 11 is about to run out.

[0185] In addition, if Fig.13 A and Fig.13 As shown in FIG. 2B , the sheet stack 11 may include a plurality of sheets 10 having an indicator 40, wherein the sheets 10 are dyed in different colors. In this way, the user is less likely to lose interest in the indicator 40 on the sheet 10 and / or the color of the dyed sheet 10, and may like the dyed sheet 10. Therefore, the user's negative feelings may be alleviated.

[0186] In addition, if Fig.13 A and Fig.13B, the color used for dyeing the sheet 10 may vary depending on the remaining number of sheets 10. Preferably, the relationship between the colors used for dyeing the sheet 10 according to the remaining number of sheets 10 is the same in a plurality of packages 1, in this way, the relationship between the colors of the sheet 10 and the remaining number of sheets 10 can be printed in the user's mind. In this way, the user can immediately recognize the remaining number of sheets 10 in stages according to the color used for dyeing each sheet 10. It is to be noted that the color difference between the colors used for dyeing the respective sheets 10 may preferably be a color difference greater than or equal to a degree that enables the two colors being evaluated to be distinguished from each other even if they are positioned separately. More specifically, according to the color tolerance-based grades generally adopted by Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) or other various industry associations, it can be found that the colors are different when, for example, the color difference (ΔE76) calculated according to the color difference formula in the L*a*b* color space conforming to CIE 1976 is 3.2 or more, preferably 6.5 or more, more preferably 13.0 or more, and even more preferably 25.0 or more.
