[0005] (Patent Document)

[0006] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2003-292043 Summary of the invention

[0007] (Problems to be solved by the invention)

[0008] Although there are known structures with multiple easy-to-break parts as described above, the relationship between the breaking strength of the multiple easy-to-break parts has not been discussed. When the absorbent article packaging product is first opened, one easy-to-break part is usually used to break the packaging bag, and the other easy-to-break parts are not broken. However, depending on the strength of the breaking and the breaking method, even if one easy-to-break part is to be broken, the packaging bag may be accidentally broken at other easy-to-break parts. Therefore, the user must be careful not to cause unintentional breaking. Therefore, a structure is required that makes it easy to open the packaging bag at the beginning of use of the absorbent article packaging product.

[0009] In view of the above circumstances, an object of one aspect of the present invention is to provide a configuration in which a packaging bag for an absorbent article having a plurality of easily breakable portions formed therein is easily opened at the start of use.

[0010] (Methods used to solve problems)

[0011] One embodiment of the present invention is a packaging bag for absorbent articles, which can accommodate more than two rows of absorbent articles in the vertical direction, and the absorbent articles are composed of multiple absorbent articles arranged in an upright state, wherein: the packaging bag for absorbent articles has a substantially rectangular shape, and the substantially rectangular shape has a top surface, a bottom surface, and a surrounding surface connecting the top surface and the bottom surface; an easy-to-break portion is formed on the surrounding surface, which can break the surrounding surface in the vertical direction; the easy-to-break portion includes a first easy-to-break portion and a second easy-to-break portion, the first easy-to-break portion is formed within the range of the vertical direction of one absorbent article row among the more than two rows of absorbent articles, the second easy-to-break portion is separated from the first easy-to-break portion in the vertical direction, and is formed within the range of the vertical direction of an absorbent article row different from the one absorbent article row; the breaking strength of the first easy-to-break portion is less than the breaking strength of the second easy-to-break portion.

[0012] (Effects of the Invention)

[0013] According to one aspect of the present invention, it is possible to provide a configuration in which, in a packaging bag for an absorbent article having a plurality of easily breakable portions formed therein, the packaging bag can be easily opened at the start of use.

[0023] Hereinafter, the embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the attached drawings. Figure 1 In addition, in each of the drawings, unless otherwise specified, the same or corresponding components are denoted by the same reference numerals and the description thereof may be omitted.

[0024] <First Embodiment>

[0025] (Absorbent article packaging products)

[0026] Figure 1 1 shows an absorbent article package product 100, which includes an absorbent article packaging bag (hereinafter also simply referred to as a packaging bag) 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention and a plurality of absorbent articles 1 accommodated in the absorbent article packaging bag 10. Figure 2 Indicates that Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an absorbent article packaging bag 10 in an unfolded state. The absorbent article 1 may be a sanitary napkin, a panty liner (sanitary pad), an incontinence pad, a disposable diaper, etc., and may have a structure having the following components: a liquid-permeable top sheet, a liquid-impermeable back sheet, and an absorbent body disposed between these sheets. In the example shown in the figure, the absorbent article 1 is an incontinence pad.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the plurality of absorbent articles 1, 1, ... stored are stacked and arranged in the thickness direction of the absorbent article 1 in an upright state. In this specification, the upright direction of the absorbent article 1 is referred to as the up-down direction, the direction in which the absorbent article 1 is arranged is referred to as the left-right direction (lateral direction), and the direction orthogonal to the up-down direction and the left-right direction is referred to as the front-back direction. In addition, information related to the absorbent article (product name, trademark, product type, etc.) is usually attached to the packaging bag for absorbent articles, so the up-down direction when viewing such information in a usual manner becomes the up-down direction of the packaging bag for absorbent articles 10 or the absorbent article packaging product 100. In this embodiment, the absorbent articles 1, 1, ... are stored in two layers, up and down. Figure 1 In the example shown, an upper row (absorbent article row) 1a of absorbent articles 1, 1, ... and a lower row (absorbent article row) 1b of absorbent articles 1, 1, ... are contained in the packaging bag 10. The number of absorbent article rows is not limited to two rows, and three or more absorbent article rows may be arranged in the upper and lower parts.

[0028] Figure 1In the example, the absorbent article 1 is an article (individual package) that is folded and individually packaged by a packaging sheet. The individual package of the absorbent article 1 may have the following dimensions: 50 to 200 mm in the longitudinal direction, 50 to 200 mm in the transverse direction, and 3 to 30 mm in the thickness direction. In addition, the absorbent article 1 does not necessarily have to be in an individually packaged state. That is, in this specification, the absorbent article 1 may be an absorbent article that is not individually packaged, or may be an absorbent article that is individually packaged (an individual package of an absorbent article).

[0029] (Packaging bag)

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the packaging bag 10 as a whole has a roughly rectangular parallelepiped shape. In this specification, the so-called "roughly rectangular parallelepiped shape" is a polyhedron with six rectangular (including square) faces. The roughly rectangular parallelepiped shape does not necessarily have to be able to identify clear edges and / or vertices, and the edges and / or vertices can also be rounded. In other words, it only needs to be a three-dimensional shape with six roughly rectangular faces. The top angles of the "roughly rectangular" faces only need to be roughly right angles, and can also deviate slightly from the right angle, preferably deviating by ±10°, and more preferably deviating by ±5°. Such a roughly rectangular parallelepiped packaging bag 10 has: a top face portion 11 on the upper side, a bottom face portion 12 on the lower side, and a surrounding face portion 15 between the top face portion 11 and the bottom face portion 12, and the surrounding face portion 15 has: a front face portion 15F in the front, a back face portion 15B in the rear, and left and right side face portions 15S, 15S. In a normal method, the front portion 15F is the surface facing the purchaser when the packaging bag 10 is arranged in a store, etc., and information related to the article (described in detail later) is displayed in the most conspicuous manner among the surfaces included in the packaging bag 10.

[0031] When the absorbent article rows 1a and 1b are stored in two rows, the size of the packaging bag may be 80 to 300 mm in the horizontal direction, 60 to 200 mm in the front-rear direction, and 140 to 300 mm in the vertical direction.

[0032] The packaging bag 10 is formed of a sheet material. The type of sheet material is not particularly limited, and may be resin, nonwoven fabric, paper, etc. When the type of sheet material is a resin, the sheet material may be a resin film such as a polyethylene film or a polypropylene film. In addition, the packaging bag 10 may also be a sheet body formed by laminating or joining two or more layers of the same or different types of sheets, such as a laminated film composed of paper and a resin film. Furthermore, the packaging bag 10 may also be formed by overlapping two or more sheets of the same or different types without joining them.

[0033] The packaging bag 10 may be colored in whole or in part. By coloring, the contents of the absorbent article package 100, i.e., the absorbent article 1, can be prevented from being immediately visible. When the packaging bag 10 is to be colored, a color printing may be applied to the sheet constituting the packaging bag 10, or a colorant may be contained in the material of the sheet during the stage of manufacturing the sheet. In addition, in the case of a sheet body formed by laminating two or more sheets, the sheet disposed on the outside may be made transparent, and a colored sheet may be used as the sheet disposed on the inside.

[0034] The coloring is preferably formed to be opaque or semi-transparent so that the inside cannot be visually viewed through the colored packaging bag 10. The type of color is not particularly limited, but is preferably a color that can be recognized as beige, brown, black, gray, etc. Furthermore, it is preferably a color with a chroma of 8 or less in the Munsell color system, and more preferably a color with a chroma of 6 or less. The above color is not conspicuous in a normal indoor environment and is not easily recognized as a packaging bag for an absorbent article.

[0035] In addition, the appearance color of the absorbent article to be contained (the color of the packaging sheet for packaging the absorbent article in the case of individual packaging, or the color of the absorbent article itself in the case of not individual packaging) is not particularly limited. The appearance color of the absorbent article can be, for example, a color that can be recognized as brown, black, gray, beige, etc. Furthermore, it is preferably a color with a chroma of 8 or less in the Munsell color system, and more preferably a color of 6 or less. The combination of the appearance color of the absorbent article and the color added to the packaging bag (the color of the colored area 35) is also not particularly limited. Here, in the case where the appearance color of the absorbent article to be contained and the color added to the packaging bag are selected in a combination that allows the user to immediately recognize the color difference between each other, for example, in the case where the color difference ΔE between the two is selected to be 4 or more, since the appearance color of the absorbent article passes through the internal visible area 30 and enters the eyes, the user can easily find the internal visible area 30. As a result, the easy-to-break portion 20 that at least partially overlaps with the internal visible area 30 is also easy to find, and the effect of reducing the labor or time when opening the packaging bag can be improved. The color difference ΔE is the color difference ΔE in the L*a*b* color space of CIE1976, and means ΔE=[(ΔL*) 2 +(Δa*) 2 +(Δb*)2] 1 / 2 .

[0036] On the other hand, according to a different viewpoint from the above, the outer color of the contained absorbent article and the color of the packaging bag can be selected so that the color difference between them is not immediately recognizable to the user, for example, the color difference ΔE between the two is selected to be 4 or less. In this case, when the packaging bag is cut and the upper part or the upper part and the middle part are removed to expose the upper part of the absorbent article ( Figure 3 (b) or Figure 4 (b)) For example, the boundary between the packaging bag and the absorbent article is difficult to see in a side view, and the outer color of the absorbent article can be made less conspicuous than the color of the packaging. Thus, even if the absorbent article packaging product is placed in a living room, it is difficult to notice its presence.

[0037] The packaging method of the packaging bag 10 is not particularly limited, but is preferably as follows: Figure 1 The back-seal package shown. The packaging bag 10 can be formed, for example, by forming a long cylindrical sheet by joining the two edges of a long sheet, folding up the two ends in the width direction perpendicular to the long side direction of the long cylindrical sheet to form a back-seal structure (clamping edge), and joining the sheet in the thickness direction along the width direction at a specified position in the long side direction (at the position between the absorbent article packaging products). For joining the sheets, heat sealing strips, ultrasonic sealing strips, adhesives, etc. can be used. Thus, the joined portion joined by joining is formed on the top surface 11 side and the bottom surface 12 side of the packaging bag 10, Figure 1 In the figure, only the joint portion 18 formed on the top surface portion 11 side is shown, and the joint portion on the bottom surface portion 12 side is omitted. In addition, the configuration of the back seal structure of the bottom surface portion 12 is also omitted from the figure. Figure 2 The figure shows a joining portion 18a which is to be the joining portion 18. The joining portion 18a is formed in each of the top surface portion 11 and the bottom surface portion 12, and is also formed between one side surface portion 15S and the back surface portion 15B.

[0038] (Easy to disconnect part)

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the packaging bag 10 according to this embodiment is provided with an easy-to-break portion 20 that can break the packaging bag 10 in the vertical direction. The phrase "can be broken in the vertical direction" means that the separated parts of the easy-to-break portion 20 are separated in the vertical direction. Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the example shown, the easy-to-break portion 20 extends in a direction perpendicular to the vertical direction, but the extending direction of the easy-to-break portion 20 does not necessarily have to be a direction perpendicular to the vertical direction (described in detail later).

[0040] The easy-to-break portion 20 is a linear portion of the packaging bag 10 that is weakened. For example, the easy-to-break portion 20 may be Figure 1and Figure 2 The perforated line is a linear portion in which a cutting portion and a connecting portion are alternately continuous. The cutting portion is a cut-in portion formed on the sheet constituting the packaging bag 10, and the connecting portion is a non-cut-in portion. In addition, the easy-to-break portion 20 is not limited to the perforated line. The fragility of the easy-to-break portion 20 may be achieved by reducing the thickness of the sheet, making the rigidity of the sheet different, or modifying the material of the sheet.

[0041] Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the example shown, a plurality of easy-to-break portions 20 are provided in a manner of being separated from each other in the vertical direction. Moreover, among the plurality of easy-to-break portions 20, at least one easy-to-break portion 20 may have a different breaking strength from the other easy-to-break portions. For example, the easy-to-break portion 20 includes a first easy-to-break portion 21 and a second easy-to-break portion 22 that are separated from each other in the vertical direction, and the breaking strengths of the first easy-to-break portion 21 and the second easy-to-break portion 22 are different from each other.

[0042] The reduction of the breaking strength of the easy-to-break portion 20 can be achieved, for example, by increasing the length of the cutting portion, increasing the ratio of the cutting portion to the connecting portion, reducing the spacing of the cutting portion, shortening the length of the connecting portion, reducing the ratio of the length of the connecting portion to the length of the cutting portion, increasing the ratio of the length of the cutting portion to the length of the connecting portion, and increasing the width of the cutting portion. In addition, in order to reduce the breaking strength, when the easy-to-break portion 20 is formed by a linear portion with a smaller thickness, the thickness can be reduced, and when the easy-to-break portion 20 is formed by fragility caused by the coating of a drug, etc., the coating width of the drug can be increased or the coating amount can be increased.

[0043] Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the first embodiment shown, the first easy-to-break portion 21 having a smaller breaking strength is formed on the upper side, and the second easy-to-break portion 22 having a larger breaking strength is formed on the lower side. Furthermore, the first easy-to-break portion is formed within the range of the upper absorbent article array 1a in the vertical direction, and the second easy-to-break portion 22 is formed within the range of the lower absorbent article array 1b in the vertical direction.

[0044] exist Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the example of , the first easy-to-break portion 21 and the second easy-to-break portion 22 are both formed in an annular shape so as to surround the packaging bag 10 in the circumferential direction with the vertical direction as the axis. That is, they are continuously formed across the surrounding surface portion 15, more specifically, across the front portion 15F, the back portion 15B, and the two side portions 15S, 15S. Therefore, when the packaging bag 10 is broken along the entirety of one easy-to-break portion 20, the packaging bag 10 can be separated into a portion above and a portion below the easy-to-break portion 20 and cut off.

[0045] For the breaking of the packaging bag 10 at the easy-to-break portion 20, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 Further explanation. Figure 3 Indicates the disconnection of the first easy-to-break portion 21, Figure 4 This indicates that the second easy-to-break portion 22 is disconnected.

[0046] When unpacking the absorbent article package, since the edge between the two surrounding surfaces 15 (the boundary between the two surrounding surfaces 15) is easy to pinch, most users will pinch the two adjacent surrounding surfaces 15, 15 to open the packaging bag 10. Figure 3 As shown in (a), near the edge line between the front portion 15F and one side portion 15S (the boundary between the front portion 15F and one side portion 15S), one hand can grasp the portion above the first easy-to-break portion 21 (the upper portion 10a), and the other hand can grasp the portion below the first easy-to-break portion 21 (the middle portion 10b), and pull it up and down as shown by the arrows. As a result, the sheet of the packaging bag 10 in the easy-to-break portion 21 is torn, and the packaging bag 10 can be separated into the upper portion 10a, the middle portion 10b, and the lower portion 10c ( Figure 3 (b)). The upper portion 10a can be removed, or it can be left on the lower portion 10c after separation and removed each time the absorbent article 1 is taken out. Thus, the upper portion 10a can function as a cover. The upper portion of the row 1a of the absorbent articles 1, 1, ... on the upper layer is exposed from the middle portion 10b remaining after the upper portion 10a is removed, so that the absorbent article 1 is easy to take out. For example, the user can pinch the absorbent article 1 to take it out without touching the packaging bag 10, so the sound generated by moving the packaging bag 10 can be reduced.

[0047] Figure 4 (a) shows a state where all the absorbent articles 1, 1, ... of the absorbent article row 1a on the upper side have been taken out. In this state, the absorbent article 1 of the absorbent article row 1b on the lower side can also be taken out, but the user must put his hand into the middle portion 10b of the packaging bag 10. In contrast, the packaging bag 10 can be disconnected at the second easy-to-break portion 22. The second easy-to-break portion 22 can be disconnected in the same manner as the packaging bag 10 of the first easy-to-break portion 21, and can be disconnected by pinching the boundary of two adjacent surrounding face portions 15, 15 and pulling upward and downward as shown by the arrows in the figure. When the disconnection along the second easy-to-break portion 22 is completed, the middle portion 10b ( Figure 4 (b)) The upper part of the row 1b of the absorbent articles 1, 1, ... of the lower layer is exposed from the lower part 10c remaining after the middle part 10b is removed. This makes it easy to take out the absorbent articles 1 of the lower layer.

[0048] In the absorbent article packaged product 100 in which a plurality of absorbent articles are stored in a vertical arrangement, in many cases, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in order to use the absorbent article array 1a from the upper layer, the packaging bag 10 ( Figure 3 (a)). At this time, even if only the upper easy-to-break portion is intended to be broken, depending on the method and magnitude of the force applied for breaking, a force may be applied to the lower easy-to-break portion, causing the lower easy-to-break portion to break, that is, breaking at an unintentional position. If the packaging bag breaks at an unintentional easy-to-break portion, that is, if the second easy-to-break portion is broken in the example shown in the figure, the bag body will be in a state of having an opening, and the function as a container will be reduced, which is inconvenient. In contrast, in this method, since the first easy-to-break portion 21 with a smaller breaking strength is formed on the upper side and the second easy-to-break portion 22 with a larger breaking strength is formed on the lower side, even if you do not pay much attention to not breaking the lower easy-to-break portion, the upper side can be broken (only at the first easy-to-break portion 21). In addition, it is possible to avoid breaking at the portion below the first easy-to-break portion 21, that is, the middle portion 10b and the lower portion 10c, and it is possible to ensure that the middle portion 10b and the lower portion 10c remaining after the upper portion 10a is separated function as a container.

[0049] The easy-to-break portion 20 (at least the first easy-to-break portion 21 and the second easy-to-break portion 22) is formed within the vertical range of one absorbent article row, and the formation position of the easy-to-break portion 20 is preferably above the center of the absorbent article row in the vertical direction. Figure 1 to Figure 4 In the manner shown, the first easy-to-break portion 21 on the upper side is preferably formed at a position higher than the center of the absorbent article array 1a in the vertical direction, and the second easy-to-break portion 22 on the lower side is preferably formed at a position higher than the center of the absorbent article array 1b in the vertical direction. Furthermore, if the vertical range length of the absorbent article array is expressed as 100%, the position of the easy-to-break portion 20 is preferably 60 to 90% from the lowest position of the absorbent article array, more preferably 70 to 80%, and even more preferably about 75%. By locating the easy-to-break portion 20 at such a position relative to the absorbent article array or the absorbent article, when the packaging bag 10 is broken in the vertical direction by the easy-to-break portion 20, a portion for pinching the packaging bag 10 can be ensured in the vertical direction. In addition, since the length of the lower part of the packaging bag 10 remaining after being cut by the easy-to-break portion 20 in the vertical direction can be ensured to a certain extent, it is possible to prevent the absorbent article 1 from being excessively exposed, causing the remaining part of the packaging bag 10 to be unable to be supported by the absorbent article 1 or the absorbent article row, thereby causing the absorbent article 1 to fall to the outside.

[0050] exist Figure 1 to Figure 4 In the example shown, the easy-to-break portion 20 (the first easy-to-break portion 21 and the second easy-to-break portion 22) are formed continuously across the entire surrounding surface 15, but may be formed only on a portion of the surrounding surface 15. For example, the easy-to-break portion 20 may be formed across the three surfaces of the front portion 15F and the side portions 15S, 15S, and not formed on the back portion 15B. For example, when the first easy-to-break portion 21 on the upper side is formed across the three surfaces of the front portion 15F and the side portions 15S, 15S, and not formed on the back portion 15B, Figure 3 (a) The upper portion 10a is not completely separated, but can be in a state of being connected to the middle portion 10b by the back portion 15B. In this case, a fold line along the horizontal direction is formed at the height of the terminal end of the first easy-to-break portion 21 on the upper side in the back portion 15B (the vertical position of the first easy-to-break portion 21 in the boundary between the side portion 15S and the back portion 15B), and the upper portion 10a can be rotated around the fold line as an axis. By tilting the upper portion 10a to the rear side, the absorbent article array 1a can be exposed, and by tilting the upper portion 10a to the front side, the absorbent article array 1a can be covered.

[0051] The easy-to-break portion 20 does not necessarily have to be continuous, and may include a discontinuous portion in one plane, for example, and be separated into a plurality of portions in the horizontal direction. In this case, the packaging bag 10 can be used without being broken in the discontinuous portion, or it can be broken at the discontinuous portion after the fragile portion is broken. In addition, the easy-to-break portion 20 may be formed in a plurality of strips close to each other in the vertical direction. In this case, since a plurality of starting points for breaking the packaging bag 10 in the vertical direction are formed in the vertical direction, it becomes easier to break and open the packaging bag 10.

[0052] <Second Embodiment>

[0053] In the second embodiment, if Figure 5As shown, the first easy-to-break portion 21 with a smaller breaking strength is formed on the lower side, and the second easy-to-break portion 22 with a larger breaking strength is formed on the lower side. Compared with the first embodiment, the breaking strengths of the two easy-to-break portions 20 are opposite to each other. As a result, it becomes difficult to break the packaging bag 10 on the upper side, and it becomes easier to break the packaging bag 10 on the lower side. This method is suitable for the case where the absorbent article packaging product 100 is to be opened from the lower side. For example, among users, there are also users who first take out all the absorbent articles 1, 1, ... contained in the packaging bag 10 from the packaging bag 10 and put them into other dedicated storage containers. For example, users who have storage containers for absorbent articles of their favorite shapes, and users who use dedicated storage containers for setting up in toilets in stores, etc. In this case, sometimes the packaging bag 10 is broken by the easy-to-break portion on the lower side, and all the absorbent articles 1, 1, ... fall down from the bottom surface 12 side of the packaging bag 10 at once and are taken out. In such a case, the user will want to first break the easy-break portion on the lower side of the packaging bag, that is, the bottom surface 12 side. Therefore, when the easy-break portion on the lower side is made into the first easy-break portion 22 with a smaller breaking strength, since the second easy-break portion 22 with a larger breaking strength is located on the upper side, even if the user does not pay much attention to the breaking of the upper side, the packaging bag 10 can be broken only by the easy-break portion 21 on the lower side. As a result, the packaging bag 10 on the bottom surface 12 side can be opened quickly.

[0054] In addition, this method also has advantages in the manufacture of the absorbent article packaging product 100. In the manufacture of the absorbent article packaging product 100, the long packaging sheet to be the packaging bag 10 is formed into a tube and conveyed in the long side direction, and the long packaging sheet in the tube is cut into a predetermined length along the direction orthogonal to the conveying direction. And one side of the cut packaging sheet, specifically, the top surface 11 side of the packaging bag 10 is joined, and the absorbent articles 1, 1, ... are loaded in the direction from the bottom surface 12 side of the packaging bag 10 toward the top surface 11 side. The impact in this loading step is likely to be strongly applied to the top surface 11 side, so there is a possibility that the easy-to-break portion 20 on the top surface 11 side (upper side) may be unintentionally broken. In contrast, if the easy-to-break portion 20 on the top surface 11 side is the second easy-to-break portion 22 with a larger breaking strength, the possibility of the packaging bag 10 being broken due to the impact of the absorbent articles 1, 1, ... being loaded can be reduced.

[0055] <Modification>

[0056] The following describes a modified example of the absorbent article packaged product 100. For example, Figure 6 The first embodiment ( Figure 1) is a modified example of the absorbent article packaging product 100. In this example, the first easy-to-break portion 21 with a smaller breaking strength is formed on the upper side, and the second easy-to-break portion 22 with a larger breaking strength is formed on the lower side.

[0057] Figure 6 In the example shown, the easy-to-break portion 20 (the first easy-to-break portion 21 and the second easy-to-break portion 22) is not as Figure 1 and Figure 2 The example shown extends in the orthogonal direction (left-right direction or front-back direction) orthogonal to the up-down direction. In this example, the easy-to-break portion 20 (the first easy-to-break portion 21 and the second easy-to-break portion 22) is formed so as to form an angle with the orthogonal direction. More specifically, the easy-to-break portion 20 can be formed, for example, to straddle two adjacent surrounding surface portions 15, 15, and the closer to the boundary between the two surrounding surface portions 15, 15, the closer to the upper side or the lower side.

[0058] Figure 6 In the example shown, the upper easy-to-break portion, that is, the first easy-to-break portion 21, is formed to span the front portion 15F and the side portion 15S on the left, and the closer to the boundary between the front portion 15F and the side portion 15S on the left, the closer to the upper side. In other words, the first easy-to-break portion 21 on the upper side has a vertex at the top in the boundary between the front portion 15F and the side portion 15S on the left. In addition, the first easy-to-break portion 21 is formed to also span the front portion 15F and the side portion 15S on the right, and the closer to the boundary between the front portion 15F and the side portion 15S on the right, the closer to the bottom. That is, the first easy-to-break portion 21 on the upper side has a vertex at the bottom in the boundary between the front portion 15F and one side portion 15S on the right. Furthermore, the first easy-to-break portion 21 is formed in the example shown to be closer to the lower side as it is closer to the boundary between the back portion 15B and the side portion 15S on the left, and closer to the upper side as it is closer to the boundary between the back portion 15B and the side portion 15S on the right. The first easy-to-break portion 21 may be formed along a direction orthogonal to the up-down direction in the back surface portion 15B and the two side surface portions 15S.

[0059] Furthermore, the second easy-to-break portion 22 on the lower side is also formed to straddle the front portion 15F and the left side portion 15S, similarly to the first easy-to-break portion 21 on the upper side, and is closer to the upper side as it approaches the boundary between the front portion 15F and the left side portion 15S. In addition, the second easy-to-break portion 22 is also formed to approach the lower side as it approaches the boundary between the front portion 15F and the right side portion 15S, to approach the lower side as it approaches the boundary between the back portion 15B and the left side portion 15S, and to approach the upper side as it approaches the boundary between the back portion 15B and the right side portion 15S.

[0060] In this way, when the easy-to-break portion 20 extends across two adjacent surrounding surface portions 15, 15 and approaches the upper or lower side as it approaches the boundary between the two surrounding surface portions 15, 15, when the packaging bag 10 is pulled up and down with the easy-to-break portion 20 as the boundary, stress is easily concentrated on the vertex at the boundary between the two adjacent surrounding surface portions 15, 15, so that even a relatively small force can break the packaging bag 10 from the boundary between the two surrounding surface portions 15, 15. In addition, if the easy-to-break portion 20 protrudes upward or downward at the boundary between the two surrounding surface portions 15, 15, the user can easily find the easy-to-break portion 20 itself. This also improves the ease of breaking.

[0061] In addition, in the easy-to-break portion 20 formed to be inclined relative to the direction perpendicular to the vertical direction (to form an angle with the upper or lower side), when the upper side portion separated by the easy-to-break portion 20 is removed after the easy-to-break portion 20 is broken, the height of the remaining portion in the packaging bag 10 can be partially increased (the length in the vertical direction can be increased). For example, after the first easy-to-break portion 21 on the upper side is broken, the height of the middle portion 10b remaining after the upper portion 10a is removed can be partially increased. As a result, even if the absorbent article 1 in the upright state falls, the absorbent article 1 can be supported, so that the absorbent article 1 can be prevented from falling outside the packaging bag.

[0062] When the packaging bag 10 is cut with the easy-to-cut portion 20, the cutting may be started from any position, but since the user usually applies force to the hand holding the upper side of the packaging bag 10, the packaging bag 10 is usually cut at a position where the length of the upper part in the vertical direction increases. Figure 6 In the example, at the boundary between the front portion 15F and the right side portion 15S, the upper first easy-to-break portion 21 is closer to the boundary and closer to the lower side and has a vertex at the lower side, so the vertical length of the portion above the first easy-to-break portion 21 becomes longer. As a result, the user can grasp the upper and lower sides of the first easy-to-break portion 21 with both hands and pull it in the vertical direction as shown by the arrows. Similarly, when breaking at the second easy-to-break portion 22, if the packaging bag 10 is broken in the vertical direction at the position having the boundary between the front portion 15F and the right side portion 15S, it becomes easy to break.

[0063] The angle formed by the easy-to-break portion 20 with respect to the orthogonal direction perpendicular to the vertical direction is preferably 10 to 40°, more preferably 20 to 30°. The easy-to-break portion 20 may be inclined either upward or downward with respect to the orthogonal direction. Figure 6In the example shown, the angle α1 formed by the first easy-to-break portion 21 with respect to the orthogonal direction and the angle α2 formed by the second easy-to-break portion 22 with respect to the orthogonal direction are preferably 10 to 40°, more preferably 20 to 30°. The angle α1 and the angle α2 may be the same or different.

[0064] Figure 7 Another modification of the easy-to-break portion 20 is also shown. Figure 7 The example shown is also related to Figure 6 The example shown is also the first embodiment ( Figure 1 ) is a modified example in which the first easy-to-break portion 21 with smaller breaking strength is formed on the upper side, and the second easy-to-break portion 22 with larger breaking strength is formed on the lower side. Figure 7 The first easy-to-break portion 21 in Figure 6 The second easy-to-break portion 22 is formed in the same manner as the first easy-to-break portion 21 shown in the figure. In contrast, the second easy-to-break portion 22 is formed closer to the lower side as it approaches the boundary between the front portion 15F and the side portion 15S on the left. In addition, the second easy-to-break portion 22 is formed closer to the upper side as it approaches the boundary between the front portion 15F and the side portion 15S on the right, closer to the upper side as it approaches the boundary between the back portion 15B and the side portion 15S on the left, and closer to the lower side as it approaches the boundary between the back portion 15B and the side portion 15S on the right.

[0065] Figure 7 The second easy-to-break portion 22 in the example shown also functions in the same manner as Figure 6 The second easy-to-break portion 22 shown in the figure has the same function. When the second easy-to-break portion 22 is used for breaking, the user can easily break the packaging bag 10 by pulling the boundary between the front portion 15F and the left side portion 15S upward and downward as shown by the arrow.

[0066] Figure 8 Another modification is shown. Figure 8 In the example shown, Figure 1 In addition to the easy-to-break portion 20 (the first easy-to-break portion 21 and the second easy-to-break portion 22) shown, an auxiliary easy-to-break portion 25 is further formed between the first easy-to-break portion 21 and the second easy-to-break portion 22. The auxiliary easy-to-break portion 25 is formed in the up-down direction. The auxiliary easy-to-break portion 25 is preferably formed in the same way as the easy-to-break portion 20, and is preferably a perforated line like the easy-to-break portion 20. In addition, the auxiliary easy-to-break portion 25 is preferably connected to both the first easy-to-break portion 21 and the second easy-to-break portion 22.

[0067] The auxiliary easy-to-break portion 25 is, for example, used after the packaging bag 10 is broken by the first easy-to-break portion 21 and the upper portion 10a is removed ( Figure 3(b)) to assist the disconnection of the second easy-to-disconnect portion 22. Before the second easy-to-disconnect portion 22 is disconnected, the middle portion 10b is disconnected along the auxiliary easy-to-disconnect portion 25, that is, in the up-down direction, so that the disconnection of the second easy-to-disconnect portion 22 can be advanced by grabbing either end of the disconnected end of the disconnected middle portion 10b and pulling it. In the case of disconnection without using the auxiliary easy-to-disconnect portion 25, the second easy-to-disconnect portion 22 is disconnected in two directions, or there are two places at the front end position of the disconnection ( Figure 4 (a)). On the other hand, if the intermediate portion 10b is separated in the vertical direction by the auxiliary easy-to-break portion 25, the breaking of the second easy-to-break portion 22 can be advanced in one direction, so that the breaking becomes easier.

[0068] Figure 8 In the example shown, the auxiliary easy-to-break portion 25 is formed near the boundary between the front portion 15 and the left side portion 15S, but the formation position of the auxiliary easy-to-break portion 25 is not particularly limited. For example, the auxiliary easy-to-break portion 25 may be formed on the left side portion 15S instead of the front portion 15, as long as it is near the boundary between the front portion 15 and the left side portion 15S, or may be formed near the boundary between the front portion 15 and the right side portion 15S. In addition, the auxiliary easy-to-break portion 25 may be formed near the center of any of the left-right directions or the front-back directions around the face portion 15, for example, near the center of the left-right direction of the front portion 15, but it is preferably formed at an inconspicuous position so as not to hinder the visibility of the display of the product-related information attached to the packaging bag 10.

[0069] Fig. 9 A further modified example of the easy-to-break portion 20 is shown. Fig. 9 is with Figure 1 An enlarged view of a portion corresponding to portion I in FIG. Fig. 9 In the figure, the central area of ​​the middle portion 10b in the vertical direction is omitted. Fig. 9 In the example shown, both the first easy-to-break portion 21 and the second easy-to-break portion 22 are perforated lines in which the cutting portion and the connecting portion are repeated alternately. In this example, in order to simplify the description, the length and spacing of the cutting portion 21c of the first easy-to-break portion 21 are respectively the same as the length and spacing of the cutting portion 22c of the second easy-to-break portion 22. That is, the length and spacing of the connecting portion 21t of the first easy-to-break portion 21 are respectively the same as the length and spacing of the connecting portion 22t of the second easy-to-break portion 22. In addition, in this example, the width of the cutting portion 21c of the first easy-to-break portion 21 is greater than the width of the cutting portion 22c of the second easy-to-break portion 22, thereby making the breaking strength of the first easy-to-break portion 21 smaller than the breaking strength of the second easy-to-break portion 22. Such a structure can be obtained, for example, by cutting out the cutting portion 21c of the first easy-to-break portion 21 in such a way that the cutting portion 21c has a slightly larger width when forming the cutting portion 21c. However, Fig. 9 In the example of FIG. 1 , the phase of the perforation line of the first easy-to-break portion 21 is offset from the phase of the perforation line of the second easy-to-break portion 22. Fig. 9 In the figure, two virtual lines ( Fig. 9 In the case of the two virtual lines, the two virtual lines overlap with the cutting portion 21c of the second easy-to-break portion 22.

[0070] As described above, when manufacturing the absorbent article packaging product 100, the absorbent article 1 is usually loaded into the packaging bag 10 from the bottom surface 12 side. Here, in the case where the absorbent article 1 is an individual package wrapped by a packaging sheet, in the above-mentioned loading step, if the edge (margin) of the packaging sheet of the individual package is sharp, it may get stuck in the cut portion of the perforation line. In particular, the individual package arranged in the upper layer of the packaging bag 10 must continuously move through the second easy-to-break portion 22 and the first easy-to-break portion 21. In this case, if the position of the cut portion 21c of the first easy-to-break portion 21 and the position of the cut portion of the second easy-to-break portion 22 are the same in a direction orthogonal to the up and down direction (for example, the left and right direction), the edge of an individual package may get stuck in both the cut portion 21c of the first easy-to-break portion 21 and the cut portion 22c of the second easy-to-break portion 22, and the possibility of the packaging bag 10 being broken during the step of loading the individual package during manufacturing increases. In contrast, if Fig. 9 As shown, by staggering the phase of the perforation line of the first easy-to-break portion 21 and the phase of the perforation line of the second easy-to-break portion 22, the cutting portion 21c of the first easy-to-break portion 21 and the cutting portion 22c of the second easy-to-break portion 22 are not aligned in the up and down directions, thereby reducing the possibility of the cutting portion 21c of the first easy-to-break portion 21 and the cutting portion 22c of the second easy-to-break portion 22 getting stuck.

[0071] The present invention has been described above based on the embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the embodiments. In addition, the above embodiments may be subjected to various changes, corrections, substitutions, additions, deletions and combinations within the scope of the claims, which also belong to the technical scope of the present invention.

[0072] Furthermore, specific embodiments of the present invention are described below.

[0073] (Note 1)

[0074] The method of Note 1 is a packaging bag for absorbent articles, which can accommodate more than two rows of absorbent articles in the vertical direction, and the absorbent articles are composed of multiple absorbent articles arranged in an upright state, wherein: the packaging bag for absorbent articles has a roughly rectangular shape, and the roughly rectangular shape has a top surface, a bottom surface, and a surrounding surface connecting the top surface and the bottom surface; an easy-to-break portion is formed on the surrounding surface, which can break the surrounding surface in the vertical direction; the easy-to-break portion includes a first easy-to-break portion and a second easy-to-break portion, the first easy-to-break portion is formed within the range of the above-mentioned vertical direction of one of the above-mentioned two or more rows of absorbent articles, the second easy-to-break portion is separated from the first easy-to-break portion in the above-mentioned vertical direction, and is formed within the range of the above-mentioned vertical direction of an absorbent article column different from the above-mentioned one absorbent article column; the breaking strength of the first easy-to-break portion is smaller than the breaking strength of the second easy-to-break portion.

[0075] The method of the above-mentioned note 1 is a packaging bag that can accommodate more than two rows of absorbent articles in the upper and lower parts, so it can accommodate multiple absorbent articles. In addition, in the packaging bag according to this method, a first easy-to-break portion and a second easy-to-break portion are formed around the face, respectively. The first easy-to-break portion is formed within the range of the upper and lower directions of one of the two or more absorbent article rows, and the second easy-to-break portion is formed within the range of the upper and lower directions of an absorbent article row different from the above-mentioned one absorbent article row. Therefore, by using the easy-to-break portion located at the top of the easy-to-break portion to break the packaging bag, the absorbent article row corresponding to the formation position of the easy-to-break portion can be exposed, and the absorbent articles contained in the absorbent article row can be easily taken out. In addition, after the absorbent articles of the exposed absorbent article row are used, by using the easy-to-break portion below the top easy-to-break portion to break the packaging bag, the absorbent article row corresponding to the formation position of the lower easy-to-break portion can be exposed, and the absorbent articles of the absorbent article row can be easily taken out.

[0076] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first easy-to-break portion and the second easy-to-break portion separated in the vertical direction have different breaking strengths. Therefore, the packaging bag is easier to break at the first easy-to-break portion than at the second easy-to-break portion, and the other side is not easy to break. As a result, when, for example, the packaging bag or the absorbent article packaging product in which the absorbent article is contained in the packaging bag begins to be used (when the packaging bag is opened, etc.), advantages related to the breaking of the packaging bag can be obtained. That is, by opening the packaging bag from the first easy-to-break portion having the weaker breaking strength of the first easy-to-break portion and the second easy-to-break portion, the packaging bag can be easily broken, and breaking at the second breaking portion having the stronger breaking strength can be avoided.

[0077] (Note 2)

[0078] In the embodiment of Supplementary Note 2, the first easy-to-break portion is formed above the second easy-to-break portion.

[0079] According to the method of the above-mentioned note 2, the first easy-to-break portion with a smaller breaking strength is formed on the upper side than the second easy-to-break portion with a larger breaking strength, so that it is easier to break the packaging bag on the upper side (top surface side). For users who use the absorbent article packaging product that contains two or more absorbent articles in the upper and lower layers, most of them start using the absorbent articles on the upper layer. Therefore, when starting to use the absorbent article packaging product, the first easy-to-break portion on the upper side of the packaging bag is broken first. Here, if the first easy-to-break portion and the second easy-to-break portion have the same breaking strength, even if it is intended to break only the first easy-to-break portion, depending on the force application method and force size for breaking, the force will also be applied to the second easy-to-break portion on the lower side, and sometimes the second easy-to-break portion will break, that is, the break will occur at an unintentional position. If the packaging bag breaks at the unintentional second easy-to-break portion, the remaining portion after removing the portion above the first easy-to-break portion will be in a broken state, that is, there will be an opening in the above portion, which reduces the function as a container, which is inconvenient. In contrast, according to this embodiment, since it is easier to disconnect at the first easy-to-disconnect portion on the upper side, even if you do not pay much attention to preventing the disconnection at the second easy-to-disconnect portion on the lower side, it is possible to disconnect only at the first easy-to-disconnect portion on the upper side. As a result, the entire portion below the first easy-to-disconnect portion can function as a container without a disconnection location.

[0080] (Note 3)

[0081] In the embodiment of Supplementary Note 3, the first easy-to-break portion is formed below the second easy-to-break portion.

[0082] According to the method of the above-mentioned Note 3, the first easy-to-break portion with a smaller breaking strength is formed on the lower side than the second easy-to-break portion with a larger breaking strength, so it is easier to break the packaging bag on the lower side (bottom face side). Some users take out all the absorbent articles contained in the packaging bag from the packaging bag and put them into other special storage containers. In this case, sometimes you want to break the packaging bag with the easy-to-break portion on the lower side, so that all the absorbent articles fall from the lower side of the packaging bag at once and are taken out. According to this method, because the first easy-to-break portion with a smaller breaking strength is located on the lower side, even if you don't take much care to avoid breaking at the second easy-to-break portion on the upper side, you can break it only by using the easy-to-break portion on the lower side. In this way, the packaging bag on the lower side (bottom face side) can be opened quickly.

[0083] (Note 4)

[0084] In the embodiment of Supplementary Note 4, at least one of the easy-to-break portions is arranged to straddle two adjacent surrounding surface portions, and is closer to the upper side or the lower side as it approaches the boundary between the two surrounding surface portions.

[0085] When the user uses the easy-to-break portion to break the packaging bag, the bag will be broken at a place that is easy to grasp, which is mostly located at the edge of the roughly rectangular parallelepiped, that is, near the two boundaries surrounding the face. In contrast, according to the method of the above-mentioned Note 4, the easy-to-break portion is formed to span the two boundaries surrounding the face, and the closer the easy-to-break portion is to the boundary, the closer it is to the top, or the closer it is to the boundary, the closer it is to the bottom. Therefore, the two easy-to-break portions have vertices facing upward or downward at the boundaries surrounding the face, so when the user grasps the upper and lower sides of the easy-to-break portions respectively and pulls them in the up and down directions, stress is easily concentrated on the above-mentioned vertices of the easy-to-break portions, thereby reducing the force required for breaking. In addition, the vertices of the easy-to-break portions near the two boundaries surrounding the face are easily visible, so the user can easily find the easy-to-break portion itself.

[0086] (Note 5)

[0087] In the aspect of Supplementary Note 5, an auxiliary easy-breaking portion is provided between the first easy-breaking portion and the second easy-breaking portion and along the up-down direction.

[0088] According to the method of the above-mentioned note 5, the auxiliary easy-to-break portion is formed in the up-down direction in a manner that connects the first easy-to-break portion and the second easy-to-break portion, so that the packaging bag can be broken in the up-down direction with respect to the portion (middle portion) between the first easy-to-break portion and the second easy-to-break portion. Therefore, in the example where the first easy-to-break portion is located on the upper side of the second easy-to-break portion, after the packaging bag is broken and opened by the first easy-to-break portion, and the absorbent articles in the absorbent article row on the upper side are used, when the packaging bag is to be broken by the second easy-to-break portion, the middle portion (the portion between the first easy-to-break portion and the second easy-to-break portion of the packaging bag) can be broken along the auxiliary easy-to-break portion before the second easy-to-break portion is broken. If the packaging bag is broken along the auxiliary easy-to-break portion first, then by grasping any end of the middle portion after the break at the auxiliary easy-to-break portion and pulling it, the breaking can proceed in one direction from the breaking start position along the second easy-to-break portion. Therefore, it is easy to remove the middle portion.

[0089] (Note 6)

[0090] In the aspect of Supplementary Note 6, the easy-to-break portion includes a perforation line, and a phase of the perforation line of the first easy-to-break portion is shifted relative to a phase of the perforation line of the second easy-to-break portion.

[0091] The perforated line has a structure in which the cut portion cut into the sheet material forming the packaging bag and the connecting portion not cut into the sheet material are alternately continuous. In the case where the absorbent article is an individual package body covered by a packaging sheet, when the individual package body is loaded into the packaging bag from the bottom surface side during the manufacture of the absorbent article packaging product, the individual package body arranged on the upper side of the packaging bag must move through the positions of both the first easy-to-break portion and the second easy-to-break portion. In this case, if the position of the cut portion of the first easy-to-break portion and the position of the cut portion of the second easy-to-break portion are the same in the left-right direction (horizontal direction), the edge of an individual package body may be stuck to both the cut portion of the first easy-to-break portion and the cut portion of the second easy-to-break portion, and the possibility of the packaging bag being broken increases during the step of loading the individual package body during manufacturing. In contrast, according to the method of Note 6 above, by staggering the phase of the perforation line of the first easy-to-break portion and the phase of the perforation line of the second easy-to-break portion, that is, staggering the positions of the cutting portion of the first easy-to-break portion and the cutting portion of the second easy-to-break portion in the left-right direction, the possibility of both the cutting portion of the first easy-to-break portion and the cutting portion of the second easy-to-break portion being stuck can be reduced.

[0092] (Note 7)

[0093] The embodiment of Supplementary Note 7 is an absorbent article package product, wherein a plurality of absorbent articles are housed in the absorbent article packaging bag according to any one of Supplementary Notes 1 to 6.

[0094] According to the aspect of Supplementary Note 7, it is possible to provide an absorbent article package product that exhibits the same effects as those of any of Supplementary Notes 1 to 6.
