[0043] === Implementation form === Hereinafter, a sheet packaging body according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described taking as an example a sheet packaging body containing baby wipes.
[0044] <<<Basic structure of sheet packaging body 1>>> Fig. 1A is a perspective view of the sheet packaging body 1 before opening, and Fig. 1B is a perspective view of the sheet packaging body 1 after opening. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a storage container 30 used together with the sheet packaging body 1.
[0045] The sheet packaging body 1 includes a sheet stack 11 in which a plurality of sheets 10 are stacked in a folded state, and a bag body 20 for accommodating the sheet stack 11.
[0046] The sheet 10 may be a rectangular sheet made of nonwoven fabric, paper, etc. The sheet 10 is a wet sheet impregnated with a medicinal solution. In this embodiment, the sheet 10 is made of nonwoven fabric containing hydrophilic fibers. The sheet 10 containing hydrophilic fibers can easily maintain the state in which the medicinal solution is retained in the sheet 10, and can prevent the sheet 10 from drying out. Examples of hydrophilic fibers include cellulosic fibers such as pulp fibers, cotton fibers, linen fibers, lyocell fibers, acetate fibers, and rayon fibers (e.g., viscose rayon fibers, cupra fibers, and modal fibers), and animal fibers such as wool, silk, and cashmere, but are not limited thereto, and other chemical fibers or natural fibers may also be used. Furthermore, the sheet 10 may contain hydrophobic fibers. When the sheet 10 contains hydrophobic fibers, the bulkiness of the sheet 10 is easily maintained. Examples of hydrophobic fibers include, but are not limited to, nylon fibers, vinylon fibers, polyester fibers, acrylic fibers, spandex fibers, polyethylene fibers, and polypropylene fibers. The fibers in the sheet 10 may be single fibers made of a single component, composite fibers made of multiple components, or a combination of these. The sheet 10 may also contain fibers made of a biodegradable material such as polylactic acid fibers. In addition, examples of the method for producing the nonwoven fabric include, but are not limited to, the spunbond method, the meltblown method, the thermal bond method, the air-through method, the needle punch method, the chemical bond method, the spunlace method, etc. The spunlace method is preferred because of its flexibility and excellent drapeability.
[0047] The bag 20 has an opening 21 in the center of its upper surface, and the sheet 10 is taken out from the opening 21. FIG. 1A illustrates a bag 20 that is a rectangular parallelepiped and a gusseted gusset package. However, the shape and packaging form of the bag 20 are not particularly limited. The bag 20 also has a sealing member 22 that covers the opening 21 from the outer surface of the bag 20. The sealing member 22 is preferably a member that can be repeatedly attached to and peeled off from the main body of the bag 20. When opening the sheet packaging body 1 for the first time, it is preferable that a user turns over the sealing member 22 to cut out a part of the bag 20 and form the opening 21. This ensures better sealing of the sheet packaging body 1 before use.
[0048] The material forming the bag body 20 is liquid-impermeable because the sheet 10 is a wet sheet, and examples of the material include resin films. The material forming the bag body 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 include polyethylene (PE) resin films. Examples of materials that have gas barrier properties include aluminum foil films, resin films such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and biaxially oriented polypropylene (OPP), aluminum vapor deposition films, transparent vapor deposition films, and the like. The material forming the bag body 20 may include biomass plastics (plastics synthesized using renewable biomass resources as raw materials).
[0049] The sheet packaging body 1 can be used by itself, but can also be used in a state where it is contained inside a storage container 30 as shown in Fig. 2. When using the sheet packaging body 1 by itself, the user can prevent the sheet 10 from drying out by covering the opening 21 with the sealing member 22 after removing the sheet 10, without separating the sealing member 22 from the main body of the bag body 20.
[0050] The storage container 30 may, for example, have a main body 31, which is a hollow container having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, and a bottom lid 32, which is a member that closes the opening at the bottom of the main body 31. The main body 31 has an upper lid 311 and an opening 312 on its upper surface. When the sheet packaging body 1 from which the sealing member 22 has been peeled off is stored inside the main body 31 of the storage container 30 as shown in FIG. 1B, the opening 21 of the bag body 20 is exposed from the opening 312 of the storage container 30, and the sheet 10 can be taken out. After the sheet 10 is taken out, the upper lid 311 of the storage container 31 is closed to prevent the sheet 10 from drying out. When replacing the sheet packaging body 1, the bottom lid 32 is removed from the main body 31, and the sheet packaging body 1 can be taken in and out from the opening at the bottom of the main body 31.
[0051] ===First embodiment=== FIG. 3A is a schematic cross-sectional view of the sheet packaging body 1, and FIGS. 3B and 3C are explanatory views of the sheet 10 in a folded state. FIG. 4A is an explanatory view of a display 40, and FIG. 4B is a diagram showing a modified display 40. FIG. 5 is a plan view of the sheet 10 in an unfolded state. FIGS. 6 and 7 are diagrams showing modified displays 40. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a method for manufacturing the sheet 10. FIGS. 9A to 9D are diagrams showing an example of a method for manufacturing the display 40. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a modified method for folding the sheet 10.
[0052] The sheet 10 in the unfolded state (FIG. 5) is rectangular and has a longitudinal direction, a width direction (short side direction), and a thickness direction that are perpendicular to each other. The sheet 10 has three folds along the width direction, namely, a first fold F1, a second fold F2, and a third fold F3. As shown in FIG. 3B and FIG. 5, an end portion on one side of the longitudinal direction of the sheet 10 is folded back at the first fold F1 so that one side surface 10a of the sheet 10 faces inward. Similarly, an end portion on the other side of the longitudinal direction of the sheet 10 is folded back at the third fold F3 so that one side surface 10a of the sheet 10 faces inward. Furthermore, the sheet 10 is folded back at the second fold F2 located between the first fold F1 and the third fold F3 in the longitudinal direction so that the other side surface 10b of the sheet 10 faces inward. A plurality of sheets 10 folded in this manner are stacked in the thickness direction of the sheet 10 as shown in FIG. 3A.
[0053] In the bag body 20, the vertical direction in which the multiple sheets 10 are stacked is also referred to as the removal direction. In the removal direction, the upper side where the opening 21 of the bag body 20 is located is also referred to as the tip side, and the opposite lower side is also referred to as the stacking side. The sheets 10 are removed from the opening 21 of the bag body 20 in order from the sheet 10 located on the tip side.
[0054] In addition, in the bag body 20, the sheets 10 are stacked so that one side surface 10a of the sheet 10 faces upward. The sheets 10 adjacent to each other in the take-out direction (stacking direction) are stacked with their longitudinal directions reversed. The folded-back portion at the first folded portion F1 of the next sheet 10 (e.g., sheet 10B) is sandwiched between the folded-back portion (the portion on the other side in the longitudinal direction) at the second folded portion F2 of the leading-edge sheet 10 (e.g., sheet 10A). Therefore, when the user pulls out the leading-edge sheet 10, the folded-back portion 10F at the first folded portion F1, which is a part of the next sheet 10, is exposed from the opening 21 of the bag body 20. Therefore, the user can easily take out the next sheet 10. In particular, when the sheet 10 is a wet wipe, the overlapping portion of the leading-edge sheet 10 and the next sheet 10 are likely to stick together, and the leading edge of the next sheet 10 is also likely to be pulled out together with the leading-edge sheet 10. In sheets 10 stacked in this manner, the "longitudinal direction" of sheets 10 corresponds to the "removal direction" in which sheets 10 are removed from bag body 20, and one side of the longitudinal direction of sheets 10 corresponds to the leading end side in the removal direction. In other words, sheets 10 are removed in a state in which they are raised 90 degrees from the stacked state.
[0055] <<Regarding the marking 40 on the sheet laminate 11>> In the sheet stack 11 of the first embodiment, a "mark 40" is provided on one sheet 10 that is taken out when the number of sheets 10 remaining in the bag body 20 becomes small. Here, the mark 40 is provided on the sheet that is taken out when the number of remaining sheets 10 becomes five, i.e., the fifth sheet 10 from the end. However, the mark 40 may be provided on an Nth sheet 10 (N≧1) other than the fifth sheet 10 from the end. Preferably, the mark 40 is provided on a sheet 10 within the tenth sheet 10 from the end.
[0056] Specifically, the sheet stack 11 (the fifth sheet 10 from the end) has at least one of four types of markings 40 (first marking 41 to fourth marking 44) described below. In addition, since the sheet 10 of this embodiment is a baby wipe sheet for infants, in the following description, the "user" refers to a guardian or caregiver, and the "subject" to be wiped with the sheet 10 is an infant.
[0057] The first display 41 is a display having characters 40c constituting a word that predicts the end of the sheet stack 11. Examples of words that predict the end of the sheet stack 11 include "You're almost there" and "5 more sheets".
[0058] The second display 42 is a display having characters 40c constituting words from the user to the subject. Examples of words from the user to the subject include specific words that the user speaks to the subject, such as "Your cute butt looks nicer now," "You ate a lot, and came out a lot," "You look refreshed," "You've grown big," "You're growing up, so excited," and "Thank you for being born," as well as words that allow the user to feel the subject's growth and words that recall the joy (beginner's spirit) of the subject's birth.
[0059] The third display 43 is a display having characters 40c constituting words from the subject to the user. Examples of words from the subject to the user include words that represent the subject's feelings (e.g., gratitude to the user, loving the user, wanting the user to play, etc.), such as "Thank you, Mom," "My Dad," "Let's play together," "Let's sing together," "Hello Mommy," and "I Love Mommy."
[0060] The fourth display 44 is a display having characters 40c constituting words from a third party to the user. Examples of words from a third party to the user include words of appreciation or gratitude to the user, such as "Thank you for your hard work every day," "Thank you as always," and "You're doing your best."
[0061] In this way, by providing the indicator 40 on the N-th sheet 10 (here, the fifth sheet) from the end of the sheet stack 11, a user who sees the indicator 40 can know that the number of sheets 10 remaining in the bag body 20 is low. In particular, when the sheet packaging body 1 is stored in a storage container 30 and used, it is difficult to know how many sheets 10 are remaining. Therefore, by making it possible to know how many sheets 10 are remaining by the indicator 40, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the user runs out of sheets 10 in the middle of changing a diaper and panics.
[0062] Furthermore, the display 40 of this embodiment includes characters 40c constituting at least one of the four types of words. Therefore, compared to a case where the Nth last sheet 10 is provided with only a display consisting of lines (such as a thread, a sheet strip, or a printed line), it is possible to prevent a user from mistaking the display 40 on the sheet 10 for a foreign object. Furthermore, the characters 40c constituting the four types of words may include "numbers." For example, numbers may be included, such as the display 40 "Thank you for the past year" or the display 40 "5 more sheets."
[0063] The wipe sheet 10 of this embodiment is mainly used when changing diapers. Changing diapers is a tedious task, and is not always an enjoyable task for the user, and can make the user feel depressed. Infants, in particular, want to move freely even when soiled with excrement, and users often feel impatient while changing the diaper. The display 40 having the letters 40c can ease the negative feelings (such as depression and impatience) of the user of the sheet 10.
[0064] For example, if the sheet 10 is provided with the second display 42 (words from the user to the subject), the user who sees it can easily reaffirm his / her feelings toward the subject (joy at the subject's growth, gratitude for being born, etc.), and negative feelings can be alleviated. In addition, the user can easily work while talking to the subject using the second display 42 (e.g., "You look great," "What a cute bottom," etc.). Therefore, the user can easily work in a fun and positive mood while communicating with the subject, compared to working in silence.
[0065] Furthermore, if the sheet 10 is provided with a third display 43 (words from the target person to the user), the user who sees it can sense the target person's feelings (the feelings of a child that mothers love), which can ease the user's negative feelings. In particular, users who are taking care of young children who cannot express their own feelings in words can feel the love from their children, which makes it easier for them to change diapers and perform other childcare tasks with a positive attitude.
[0066] Furthermore, if the seat 10 is provided with the fourth display 44 (messages from a third party to the user), the user who sees it will feel appreciated and thanked, which can ease the user's negative emotions. By displaying the words that the user would like to hear from those around them, the sense of loneliness and emptiness that the user easily feels while raising a child can be alleviated, and the user can more easily carry out diaper changes and other childcare tasks with a positive attitude.
[0067] Furthermore, when the first marking 41 (words informing the user that the sheet 10 is finished) is provided on the sheet 10, it is easier for the user to know that the sheet laminate 11 is finished (that there is only a small amount of sheet 10 remaining) than when there is a simple line-only marking. In particular, even a user who is unfamiliar with using the sheet package 1 can understand that there is only a small amount of sheet 10 remaining by looking at the first marking 41. Furthermore, if the first display 41 is expressed in a bright and gentle manner (e.g., "It's almost gone"), the user is less likely to feel that he or she has received bureaucratic information, and instead feels a sense of warmth and interest. This makes it possible to alleviate the negative feelings of the user who sees the first display 41.
[0068] Up to this point, the sheet packaging body has been exemplified as a packaging body for baby wipes, but it is not particularly limited as long as it is a packaging body for a sheet that a user takes out of the bag body 20 and wipes a subject other than the user. For example, it may be a packaging body for a pet sheet, in which case the user is the owner and the subject is a pet (pet animal). It may also be a care sheet, in which case the user is the caregiver and the subject is the person being cared for. It is not limited to a baby wipe sheet, and it may be a sheet for wiping the subject's body, hands, mouth, etc. In these cases, the sheet has the marking 40 (characters 40c) to ease the negative feelings of the user during the hard work of wiping the subject with the sheet, to easily inform the user that the sheet laminate has been used up, and to prevent the marking 40 from being mistaken for a foreign object.
[0069] 5 and 6 each have one type of display 40, but this is not limiting. One sheet 10 may have multiple types of displays 40. For example, one sheet 10 may have a fourth display 44 (e.g., "Thank you for your hard work every day") and a second display 42 (e.g., "You've done a lot!").
[0070] Also, one display 40 may have characters 40c constituting a plurality of different words of the same type. For example, one fourth display 44 may have characters 40c constituting "Thank you for your hard work every day" and characters 40c constituting "You're doing your best."
[0071] In addition, in FIG. 4A, the indicia 40 is provided on the other side 10b of the sheet 10 (the side on which the sheet 10 is not folded by the first fold F1), but the indicia 40 may be provided on one side 10a of the sheet 10 (the side on which the sheet 10 is folded by the first fold F1), or on both sides 10a, 10b of the sheet 10.
[0072] Moreover, the sheet 10 is preferably a wet sheet impregnated with a medicinal liquid. This makes it easier for the user to wipe the subject with the sheet 10 compared to a dry sheet that is not impregnated with a liquid. Also, compared to a dry sheet, a wet sheet can suppress diffuse reflection of light on the sheet surface. This increases the visibility of the display 40 provided on the wet sheet, making it easier for the user to read the display 40 (words 40c). In particular, when the sheet 10 contains hydrophilic fibers, the sheet 10 is more likely to maintain the state in which it retains the medicinal liquid, and the visibility of the display 40 on the sheet 10 is also more likely to be maintained.
[0073] The impregnation ratio of the wet wipes with the chemical solution (if the sheet is A(g) and the chemical solution is B(g), then B / A×100(%)) is preferably 160% or more, more preferably 200% or more, and even more preferably 240% or more. A high impregnation ratio makes it difficult for uneven impregnation (the formation of parts of the sheet 10 that are impregnated with the chemical solution and parts that are not impregnated with the chemical solution) to occur, and makes it difficult for the degree of diffuse reflection of light on the surface of the sheet 10 to vary, improving the visibility of the display 40. Furthermore, suppressing uneven impregnation reduces the risk of mold growing in parts that are not impregnated with the chemical solution.
[0074] The medicinal liquid contained in the sheet 10 may be any known ingredient used in the art, including natural compounds, synthetic compounds, inorganic substances, and organic substances, and is preferably an ingredient used in wet wipes and cosmetics. Specifically, examples include those containing water, a pH adjuster (e.g., lactic acid, etc.), a preservative or preservative aid (e.g., quaternary ammonium salts such as cetrimonium chloride and benzalkonium chloride, organic acids such as sodium benzoate, polyaminopropyl biguanide, iodide propynyl butylcarbamate, cetylpyridinium chloride, chlorhexidine gluconate, potassium sorbate, etc.), a dissolution aid (e.g., glycol (propylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, butylene glycol), phenoxyethanol, ethanol, etc.), a chelating agent (e.g., EDTA-2Na, etc.), a moisturizing agent (e.g., sodium hyaluronate, glycerin, sorbitol, polyquaternium, ceteareth, etc.), a surfactant (e.g., cationic surfactant, anionic surfactant, nonionic surfactant, amphoteric surfactant, etc.). However, the components of the drug solution are not particularly limited, and it is not necessary for all of the above elements to be included. In addition to the above ingredients, the composition may contain thickeners, antioxidants, flavors, and extracts.
[0075] The sheet 10 may also be a dry sheet that is not impregnated with liquid. In this case, the sheet 10 in a dry state can be used to wipe the subject, but the user can also soak the sheet 10 in a liquid (e.g., moisturizer, lotion, etc.) prepared by the user and then wipe the subject. In this case, the liquid can be selected according to the preference of the user or subject. The material of the bag 20 that contains the dry sheet is not limited to one that is liquid-impermeable, and may be paper, etc. The bag 20 may or may not have a seal member 22 or a lid.
[0076] The display 40 may also include a design 40p. Examples of the design 40p include pictures representing something, patterns (e.g., polka dots, stripes, checkered patterns), straight lines, curves, symbols (e.g., musical notes, exclamation marks), etc. Specific examples of pictures include, but are not limited to, characters, clouds, musical instruments, footprints, potty chairs (ducks), stars, hearts, cars, animals, flowers, and grass.
[0077] In the display 40 (fourth display 44) illustrated in FIG. 5, clover patterns 40p are provided on both sides of the characters 40c saying "Thank you for your hard work every day." In the display 40 (third display 43) illustrated in FIG. 6, the characters 40c saying "Sing with me" are surrounded by heart patterns 40p, and the display 40 also includes characters 40p and patterns 40p such as stars. The size relationship between the characters 40c and the patterns 40p is not particularly limited. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the characters 40c and the patterns 40p may be of the same size, or as shown in FIG. 6, the characters 40c may be provided on a part of a large pattern 40p. In addition, the positional relationship between the characters 40c and the patterns 40p is not particularly limited as long as they are provided on the same sheet 10, but it is preferable that the characters 40c and the patterns 40p are close to each other.
[0078] In this way, the display 40 has not only the letters 40c but also the pattern 40p, which enhances the design of the display 40 and entertains the user. Therefore, the negative feelings of the user when using the sheet 10 can be alleviated. Furthermore, the pattern 40p makes the entire display 40 stand out, making it easier for the user to notice the display 40. Furthermore, as shown in Fig. 6, for example, surrounding the letters 40c with the heart pattern 40p makes it easier for the user to focus on the letters 40c, making it easier for the user to read the letters 40c.
[0079] Furthermore, the design 40p allows the subject who cannot read and the subject's siblings to know when the remaining amount of the sheet 10 is low and to enjoy it. In particular, by using the design 40p as something that infants can enjoy or something related to the season (such as an acorn or a Christmas tree), the user can easily communicate with the subject using the design 40p. This can ease the negative feelings of the user when using the sheet 10.
[0080] Furthermore, by arranging the letters 40c and the line pattern 40p side by side (see FIG. 11A described later), the indicia 40 can be provided across the entire width of the sheet 10. In this case, the user can easily notice the indicia 40. As a result, the indicia 40 can ease the user's negative feelings and easily inform the user that the sheet laminate 11 has been used up.
[0081] 5, it is preferable that the display 40 has all the characters 40c that make up the words (e.g., "Thank you for your hard work every day"). This makes it easier for the meaning of the words to be conveyed to a user who sees the display 40. As a result, it is possible to ease the user's negative feelings and to make it easier for the user to understand that the sheet laminate 11 has been used up.
[0082] 5, when the characters 40c of the display 40 are aligned in the width direction of the sheet 10, it is preferable that at least a part of the characters 40c of the display 40 is located in the center 10C of the sheet 10 in the width direction. More preferably, the center of the width direction of the sheet 10 and the center of the width direction of the word represented by the characters 40c are aligned. This makes it easier for the user to focus on the characters 40c of the display 40 and to read the characters 40c.
[0083] The central portion 10C of the sheet 10 in the width direction is defined as a central region obtained by dividing the maximum length W1 of the sheet 10 in the width direction into thirds. In this embodiment, the short side direction of the rectangular sheet 10 is defined as the width direction of the sheet 10, but the long side direction of the sheet 10 may be defined as the width direction of the sheet 10. For example, although not shown, characters 40c whose up-down direction is the short side direction of the sheet 10 may be aligned in the long side direction (width direction) of the sheet 10.
[0084] Here, an example of a manufacturing method of the sheet 10 will be briefly described with reference to Fig. 8. In Fig. 8, indicia 40 are first formed on a continuous body 10' of sheets that is continuously conveyed in a direction corresponding to the width direction of the sheet 10. Thereafter, the continuous body 10' of sheets is cut into product lengths W1 in the width direction of the sheet 10, thereby manufacturing the sheet 10.
[0085] 8, when a plurality of indicia 40 are arranged in the conveying direction on a continuous sheet 10', there is a manufacturing method in which the sheet 10 is cut regardless of the position of the indicia 40 (characters 40c). In this case, the manufacturing method of the sheet 10 can be simplified, but the sheet 10 may be cut in the middle of a character (e.g., "Thank you for your hard work every day").
[0086] Therefore, the display 40 is not limited to having all the characters constituting the word (e.g., "Thank you for your hard work every day"), and may have only a part of the characters. Also, the display 40 may have some of the characters constituting the word separated and in a different order. Specifically, the sheet 10 may have a display 40 having the characters 40c "Thank you for your hard work every day," or the characters 40c "Thank you for your hard work" may be provided on one side of the sheet 10 in the width direction, and the characters 40c "Thank you for your hard work every day" may be provided on the other side of the sheet 10 in the width direction. Even with these displays 40, the user can infer the meaning of the word from the characters 40c. As a result, the display 40 (characters 40c) can ease the user's negative feelings and make it easier for the user to understand that the sheet laminate 11 has been used up.
[0087] In contrast, when all of the characters 40c constituting a word are provided at a desired position in the width direction of the sheet 10 as shown in Fig. 5, a manufacturing method may be used in which the continuous sheet body 10' is cut based on the position of the indicia 40 in the continuous sheet body 10'. For example, the position of the indicia 40 may be confirmed by a camera or the like to determine the cutting position, or the timing of cutting may be determined based on the timing at which the indicia 40 is formed. In this case, the manufacturing method for the sheet 10 becomes complicated, but the indicia 40 having easily readable characters 40c can be provided on the sheet 10.
[0088] Examples of the method of forming the indicia 40 include a method of forming by printing, a method of forming by unevenness, and a combination thereof. A specific example of the method of forming by printing is a method of printing the indicia 40 on a white sheet 10 by inkjet printing. Examples of the color of the indicia 40 include blue and green, but the color is not particularly limited. By forming the indicia 40 by printing, it is easy to adjust the color of the indicia 40, and for example, it is possible to form an indicia 40 with high visibility. A specific example of the printing method is inkjet printing, in which the content of the indicia 40 can be easily changed. A specific example of the method of forming by unevenness is a method of compressing (embossing) the sheet 10 in the thickness direction in the portion where the indicia 40 is to be formed to form recesses (compressed grooves), or by changing the basis weight (g / m2) of the fibers constituting the sheet 10. 2 ) to form a recess (groove) (for example, the method described in Japanese Patent No. 6632579). The recess may be a through hole penetrating the sheet 10. In these cases, too, the user can visually recognize the display 40 due to the shadow of the recesses and protrusions.
[0089] 9A to 9D, a manufacturing method (manufacturing apparatus) of the sheet 10 in which the mark 40 is formed by a recess by processing the web 10W while conveying it will be briefly described. FIG. 9A is a schematic diagram of an apparatus 50 for forming the mark 40. The apparatus 50 has a first suction drum 51, a second suction drum 52, a water supply device 53, a first water flow nozzle device 54, and a second water flow nozzle device 55. The web 10W manufactured by a web manufacturing device (not shown) is conveyed to the apparatus 50. The web 10W is a fiber laminate that has not been subjected to an entanglement process for entangling fibers. The method for manufacturing the fiber laminate includes well-known methods such as an airlaid method and a spunbond method, and combinations thereof, but is not particularly limited.
[0090] First, the web 10W is wound around the outer peripheral surface of the first suction drum 51 and transported while being suctioned. As shown in FIG. 9C, the outer peripheral surface 51a (first support) of the first suction drum 51 has a base material having suction holes 51a1 through which liquid or gas can pass, and is provided with an uneven pattern (protrusions 51a2) corresponding to the shape of the indicia 40. Facing the outer peripheral surface 51a of the first suction drum 51, a water supply device 53 is provided, and a first water flow nozzle device 54 is provided downstream of the water supply device 53. The water supply device 53 supplies water to the web 10W, and the water in the web 10W is dehydrated by the suction of the first suction drum 51, whereby the thickness of the web 10W becomes thinner and the fiber density increases (4 to 8×10 -2 g / cm 3 This prevents the fibers of the web 10W from scattering and disrupting the texture due to the impact of the water flow jetted from the first water flow nozzle device 54 downstream. Note that the water supply device 53 is a device simply for impregnating the web 10W with water, and does not supply water at a high pressure sufficient to entangle the fibers of the web 10W.
[0091] Next, the first water flow nozzle device 54 sprays high-pressure water onto the web 10W, entangling the fibers of the web 10W, and transferring the concave-convex pattern of the first suction drum 51 to the web 10W, forming a semi-finished web 10P on which the indicia 40 is formed. The water flow presses the web 10W against the concave-convex pattern, and some of the fibers located at the convex portions 51a2 of the concave-convex pattern move to the concave portions, reducing the basis weight of the fibers at the portions corresponding to the indicia 40. In the device 50 of FIG. 9A, the first water flow nozzle device 54 has two nozzle units 541, 542 spaced apart in the conveying direction, and the spray pressure of the water flow is increased stepwise. By doing so, on the upstream side, the fibers of the web 10W can be prevented from scattering due to a sudden high-pressure water flow, and the fibers can be moved delicately, and on the downstream side, the high-pressure water flow presses the web 10W against the concave-convex pattern without any gaps, forming the indicia 40 with high visibility. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the first water flow nozzle device 54 may be composed of one nozzle unit. FIG. 9B is a diagram showing one of the two nozzle units 541, 542 as a representative. On the lower surface (opposing surface to the web 10W) of the nozzle units 541, 542, a plurality of nozzles 54a for spraying water are arranged in the CD direction perpendicular to the conveying direction, over a length greater than or equal to the length of the web 10 in the CD direction. Thus, the web 10 receives the water flow from the first water flow nozzle device 54 over the entire width in the CD direction. In this way, the semi-finished web 10P is formed in which a recess (low basis weight portion) corresponding to the mark 40 is formed. In this way, the uneven pattern is transferred while intertwining the fibers of the web 10W, so that the fibers of the web 10W are easily moved according to the uneven pattern, and the visibility of the uneven pattern (mark 40) is improved. In addition, the pressure of the water flow of the first water flow nozzle device 54 can be reduced, and production efficiency is improved.
[0092] Next, the semi-finished web 10P is wound around the outer peripheral surface of the second suction drum 52 and transported while being sucked. The outer peripheral surface 52a (second support) of the second suction drum 52 is made of a base material having suction holes and is not provided with an uneven pattern. A second water flow nozzle device 55 is provided facing the outer peripheral surface 52a of the second suction drum 52. The semi-finished web 10P is wound around the second suction drum 52 so that the inner surface 10Wb of the web 10W wound around the first suction drum 51 faces outward. Therefore, the surface 10Wa of the web that receives the water flow from the first water flow nozzle device 54 and the surface 10Pb (10Wb) of the semi-finished web that receives the water flow from the second water flow nozzle device 55 are opposite surfaces. As shown in FIG. 9D, the semi-finished web 10P has a concave-convex pattern present region Rp where the mark 40 (convex-concave pattern) is present and a non-present region Rn where the mark 40 is not present. The second water flow nozzle device 55 sprays water at high pressure into the non-present region Rn of the semi-finished web 10P to further entangle the fibers. For this purpose, as shown in FIG. 9D, the nozzle 55a may not be provided on the lower surface of the second water flow nozzle device 55 at a portion facing the present region Rp, or the spraying of water from the nozzle 55a facing the present region Rp may be stopped. This allows the shape of the mark 40 (convex-concave pattern) to be maintained while entangling the fibers, thereby increasing the strength of the semi-finished web 10P. Note that the first water flow nozzle device 54 and the second water flow nozzle device 55 spray water onto different surfaces of the web 10W, so that the fibers on both sides of the web 10W are likely to be entangled, but the water may be sprayed onto the same surface.
[0093] Thereafter, the semi-finished web 10P undergoes a dehydration process and a drying process (a process for thermally fusing fibers), etc., not shown, to complete a continuous body of the sheet 10 on which the indicia 40 (concave-convex pattern) is formed, and the sheet 10 is cut into product sizes to manufacture the sheet 10. When the indicia 40 is formed by jetting water in this way, the user can use the sheet 10 with peace of mind, compared to when the indicia 40 is formed using additives such as printing ink. In addition, compared to when the indicia 40 is formed by, for example, compressed grooves (high rigidity parts), the flexibility of the sheet 10 is ensured, and the wiping comfort is good. In particular, the sheet 10 of this embodiment is used when wiping subjects (babies, pets, elderly people, etc.) whose skin is relatively weak, which is different from the user, and therefore a sheet 10 that can be used with peace of mind and has good flexibility is effectively applied. In addition, since the basis weight of the fibers in the area where the indicia 40 is formed is low, the user can easily see the subject's skin through the sheet 10, making it easy to grasp the area to be wiped.
[0094] On the other hand, when the indicia 40 is formed by printing, it is preferable that the indicia 40 is printed with an ink containing a pigment. When a pigment ink is used, the pigment adheres to the fiber surface of the sheet 10, so the indicia 40 is less likely to bleed and the visibility of the indicia 40 is improved compared to when a dye ink is used. Also, indicia 40 in which the pigment is fixed to the sheet 10 can prevent the ink from transferring to the subject, compared to indicia 40 in which the dye ink is soaked into the sheet 10, which is a wet sheet.
[0095] The pigment contained in the ink may be either an inorganic pigment or an organic pigment, and may be selected from known pigments. The indicia 40 may be printed using dye ink, and the dye may be selected from known dyes. The indicia 40 on the sheet 10 may be observed with an optical microscope or the like to confirm the presence or absence of a pigment, thereby confirming that the indicia 40 was printed with pigment ink.
[0096] Furthermore, when the indicia 40 is formed by printing, it is preferable that the indicia 40 is printed with ink that does not contain a preservative. Specifically, it is preferable that the indicia 40 is formed with ink that does not contain, as a preservative, any compound listed in Appendix 1 (negative list) of the "Cosmetics Standards" established in Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare Notification No. 331 of September 29, 2000. In other words, it is preferable that the ink used to print the display 40 does not contain a preservative selected from 6-acetoxy-2,4-dimethyl-m-dioxane, antihistamines other than aminoether-type antihistamines (diphenhydramine, etc.), hormones and derivatives other than estradiol, estrone, or ethinylestradiol, vinyl chloride monomer, methylene chloride, bismuth compounds other than bismuth oxychloride, hydrogen peroxide, cadmium compounds, sodium perborate, chloroform, progrenolone acetate, dichlorophene, mercury and its compounds, strontium compounds, sulfamide and its derivatives, selenium compounds, nitrofuran compounds, hydroquinone monobenzyl ether, halogenated salicylanilides, vitamins L1 and L2, bithionol, pilocarpine, pyrogallol, inorganic compounds among fluorine compounds, pregnanediol, local anesthetics such as procaine, hexachlorophene, boric acid, formalin, and methyl alcohol.
[0097] This makes it possible to prevent the ink forming the indicia 40 from irritating the skin of the subject, and allows the sheet 10 to be used safely. This allows the user to use the sheet 10 with peace of mind. However, the components of the ink used to print the indicia 40 are not limited to those described above, and the ink may contain a preservative.
[0098] 4A and 5, the sheet 10 has a take-out direction in which the sheet 10 is taken out of the bag body 20. In this embodiment, the longitudinal direction of the sheet 10 corresponds to the take-out direction of the sheet 10. The sheet 10 has a first fold F1 that is a folded portion along the width direction perpendicular to the take-out direction and is located on the most distal side (the side taken out first) in the take-out direction. In this case, as shown in FIG. 4A, it is preferable that at least a part of the indicia 40 does not overlap (in the thickness direction of the sheet 10) with the part of the sheet 10 that is folded back at the first fold F1 (folded back portion 10F). It is more preferable that the entire indicia 40 does not overlap with the folded back portion 10F of the sheet 10.
[0099] In the present embodiment, when the indicia 40 is formed (particularly printed) on the surface 10b opposite to the side where the sheet 10 is folded back at the first fold F1, the indicia 40 is visible through the surface 10a of the folded back side of the sheet 10, as shown in FIG. 3C. Therefore, in the above case, it is possible to prevent the indicia 40, which is visible through the surface, from being covered by the folded back portion 10F of the sheet 10 and becoming difficult to see. In addition, although not shown, in the case where the indicia 40 is formed on the surface 10a of the side where the sheet 10 is folded back at the first fold F1, it is possible to similarly prevent the indicia 40 (printed surface) from being covered by the folded back portion 10F of the sheet 10 and becoming difficult to see. In these cases, the indicia 40 is easily visible from both surfaces 10a and 10b of the sheet 10, making it easier for the user to notice the indicia 40.
[0100] In particular, as shown in Fig. 3A, the sheet 10 is exposed in a state where it is folded back at the first fold F1 from the opening 21 of the bag body 20, and the indicia 40 is easily visible to the user even when the user grasps the fold back portion 10F to pull out the sheet 10. As a result, the indicia 40 (characters 40c) eases the user's negative feelings and makes it easier for the user to know that the sheet laminate 11 has been used up. Furthermore, when the indicia 40 is not entirely covered by the fold back portion 10F of the sheet 10, the user can easily read the characters 40c of the indicia 40 without turning over the fold back portion 10F.
[0101] However, conversely to the above, as shown in a modified example in Figure 4B, the portion of sheet 10 folded at first fold F1 located at the tip end side in the removal direction (folded portion 10F) may overlap (in the thickness direction of sheet 10) with the entire indicia 40.
[0102] By doing so, when the indicia 40 is formed on the surface 10b opposite to the side where the sheet 10 is folded back at the first fold F1 as in this embodiment, the indicia 40 is provided in the area where the sheet 10 is stacked twice. In the area where the sheet 10 is stacked, the back side of the sheet 10 is less visible, and the visibility of the indicia 40 is improved. For example, when the color of the sheet 10 is white, the density of the white color is increased. Therefore, the contrast between the surrounding areas of the sheet 10 and the indicia 40 is increased, and the visibility of the indicia 40 is improved.
[0103] On the other hand, although not shown, when indicia 40 is formed on surface 10a on the side where sheet 10 is folded back at first fold portion F1, indicia 40 can be seen through fold portion 10F. Therefore, the user is likely to be interested in the fact that something is written on sheet 10 (indicia 40), and since indicia 40 appears when fold portion 10F of sheet 10 is turned back, the user can enjoy reading indicia 40.
[0104] As shown in FIG. 3A, in the sheet 10 (e.g., sheet 10B) of this embodiment, the folded-back portion 10F at the first folded portion f1 on the tip side is sandwiched between the folded-back portions at the second folded portion f2 of the previous sheet 10 (e.g., sheet 10A) in the bag body 20. Therefore, when the previous sheet 10 is taken out of the bag body 20, the next sheet is likely to be exposed from the opening 21 with the first folded portion f1 kept folded. In this case, the user can firmly grasp the folded-back portion 10F, which is double and has rigidity. In addition, since the folded-back portion 10F is not easily stretched when the sheet 10 is taken out, the sheet 10 is easily separated from the sheet stack 11 and is easily taken out.
[0105] However, the folding method of the sheet 10 in the bag body 20 is not limited to that shown in FIG. 3A. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the sheet 10 may be folded in a Z-shape in which both ends in the longitudinal direction of the sheet 10 are folded back to the opposite sides at the first folding portion f1 and the second folding portion F2. A part of the next sheet 10 may not be sandwiched between the folds of the previous sheet 10, and in that case, the sheets 10 can be easily taken out one by one. The sheet may be folded not only at folding portions along one direction of the sheet, but also at folding portions along two directions. Although not shown, for example, the sheet may be folded in such a way that the side portions in the width direction of the sheet are folded and further folded in two in a direction perpendicular to the width direction of the sheet. In this case, the number of folding portions in the side portions in the width direction is arbitrary, and when there are multiple folding portions, the folding directions may be all mountain folds, all valley folds, or a combination of mountain folds and valley folds. Furthermore, when a multi-stand type folding machine is used, it is easy to print the indicia 40 in the width direction of the sheet 10 as shown in Fig. 5. When a pocket folding machine or an interfolder machine is used, it is easy to print the indicia 40 in the length direction of the sheet 10 as shown in Fig. 7, but the folding machine is not particularly limited. Preferably, the indicia 40 is printed parallel to the sheet flow direction to improve production efficiency.
[0106] Up to this point, the positional relationship between the folded-back portion 10F of the sheet 10 and the indicia 40 has been described, but as shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3A, the position of the indicia 40 may be determined based on the protruding height h of the sheet 10 protruding from the bag body 20. The protruding height h is the length in the removal direction (here, the longitudinal direction) of the portion of the next sheet 10 exposed from the bag body 20 (opening 21) when the previous sheet 10 is removed from the bag body 20. When the indicia 40 is located at a portion of the sheet 10 corresponding to the protruding height h, the indicia 40 is located at a portion that is already exposed from the container 30 or the bag 20. This makes it easier for the user to notice the indicia 40. On the other hand, when the indicia 40 is located on the stacking side of the portion of the sheet 10 corresponding to the protruding height h, the indicia 40 appears when the user removes the sheet 10 from the bag 20, which creates an element of surprise and allows the user to enjoy using the sheet 10. The portion of sheet 10 corresponding to protrusion height h (i.e., the portion of sheet 10 exposed from bag body 20) refers to the portion of sheet 10 extending from the tip of folded-back portion 10F (first fold f1) to a length h inward in the longitudinal direction (see FIG. 5) when the tip of sheet 10 is exposed in a folded-back state as in sheet stack 11 shown in FIG 3A. On the other hand, when the tip of sheet 10 is exposed without being folded back as in sheet stack 11 shown in FIG 10, the portion of sheet 10 corresponding to protrusion height h refers to the portion of sheet 10 extending from the tip of sheet 10 in the removal direction to a length h inward in the longitudinal direction.
[0107] Furthermore, in the sheet 10 of this embodiment, the characters 40c of the display 40 are arranged in the width direction of the sheet 10. In this case, as shown in FIG. 5, the overall width direction length W2 of the characters 40c constituting the words (e.g., "Thank you for your hard work every day") is preferably equal to or less than the width direction length W1 of the sheet 10 (W2≦W1). This allows the words to be entirely contained within the width direction range of the sheet 10, making it easier for a user who sees the display 40 to understand the meaning of the words. As a result, it is possible to ease the negative feelings of the user and to easily convey that the sheet laminate 11 has been used up.
[0108] Furthermore, the overall width W2 of the letters 40c constituting the word may be set to 1 / 2 the length (W1 / 2) of the sheet 10 in the width direction or less (W2≦W1 / 2). By doing so, the entire word can be more easily accommodated within the range of the width of the sheet 10 compared to when the overall length W2 of the letters 40c constituting the word is longer than 1 / 2 the length of the sheet 10. In particular, even when the continuous sheet body 10' is cut regardless of the position of the indicia 40 (letters 40c) in the continuous sheet body 10' as in the manufacturing method of the sheet 10 described in FIG. 8, the entire word can be easily accommodated in the sheet 10. In addition, by shortening the word, even a user who is in a hurry to change a diaper can read the letters 40c immediately, and the word can be conveyed to the user without bothering the user.
[0109] Furthermore, the sheet 10 has a direction in which it is taken out of the bag body 20 (here, the longitudinal direction of the sheet 10), and as shown in Fig. 4A, it is preferable that the leading end side of the sheet 10 in the direction of taking out coincides with the upper side of the characters 40c of the display 40. By doing so, when a user grasps the leading end of the sheet 10 and takes the sheet 10 out of the bag body 20, the characters 40c are oriented correctly in the up-down direction, making it easier for the user to read the characters 40c. In other words, the user does not need to change the orientation of the sheet 10 to read the characters 40c.
[0110] 4A, the characters 40c of the display 40 are aligned in a direction (here, the width direction or short side direction of the sheet 10) perpendicular to the removal direction of the sheet 10. In this case, when the sheet 10 is removed from the bag body 20, the parts of the sheet 10 on which the characters 40c are provided appear at approximately the same time, so that the user can immediately read the characters 40c, making them easy to read.
[0111] However, the present invention is not limited to the above, and the characters 40c of the display 40 may be arranged in the removal direction of the sheet 10 (here, the longitudinal direction of the sheet 10) as in a modified example shown in FIG. 7. In this way, the characters 40c gradually appear as the user removes the sheet 10 from the bag body 20, so that the characters 40c are likely to interest the user and to attract the user's attention. In addition, the user can remove the sheet 10 from the bag body 20 while having fun. Note that the characters 40c are preferably provided in the center of the sheet 10 in the width direction as shown in FIG. 7. In this way, the characters 40c are likely to attract the user's attention, but the arrangement position of the characters 40c is not particularly limited.
[0112] ===Second embodiment=== 11A and 11B are diagrams for explaining a combination of sheets 10 contained in a sheet packaging body 1 of the second embodiment. In the first embodiment, the indicia 40 is provided on one sheet 10 that is the Nth sheet from the end in the sheet laminate 11, but in the second embodiment, the indicia 40 is provided on a plurality of sheets 10 in the sheet laminate 11. The indicia 40 may be provided on some of the sheets 10 in the sheet laminate 11, or on all of the sheets 10 in the sheet laminate 11. As described above, the indicia 40 may be formed by printing (a method of providing an indicia 40 with a color or color density different from that of the sheet 10) or by unevenness, but the indicia 40 provided on each of the plurality of sheets 10 may be formed by the same method or different methods. In addition, all of the indicia 40 on the sheets 10 having the indicia 40 may be the same (for example, "Thank you for your hard work" shown in FIG. 4A). However, it is preferable that the sheet laminate 11 satisfies at least one of the following two conditions.
[0113] In the first embodiment, the sheet stack 11 includes a plurality of sheets 10 each having a different type of indicia 40 among four types of indicia (first indicia 41 to fourth indicia 44). For example, as shown in Fig. 11A, the sheet stack 11 may include a sheet 10 having a fourth indicia 44 (e.g., "Thank you for everything") and a sheet 10 having a first indicia 41 (e.g., "You're almost out"). Note that the first indicia 41 may be provided on a sheet 10 that is to be removed when only a few sheets 10 remain, and the other second indicia 42 to fourth indicia 44 may be provided on any of the sheets 10.
[0114] In the second embodiment, the sheet laminate 11 includes a plurality of sheets 10 each having the same type of display among the four types of displays (41 to 44) but with different words. For example, as shown in Fig. 11B, the sheet laminate 11 may include a sheet 10 having the second display 42, "Cute butt, is it nice now?", and another sheet 10 having the same second display 42 but with different letters 40c (words), "You ate a lot, and a lot came out~".
[0115] In this way, it is preferable that the sheets 10 in the sheet stack 11 each have a different type of indicia 40 or indicia 40 with different words. In this way, the user is unlikely to tire of the indicia 40 of the sheet 10, and can enjoy the indicia 40 every time the sheet 10 having the indicia 40 is taken out of the bag body 20. Thus, the indicia 40 can ease negative feelings when using the sheet 10.
[0116] ===Third embodiment=== 12A to 12C are diagrams illustrating a combination of sheets 10 contained in a sheet packaging body 1 of the third embodiment. In the third embodiment, similar to the second embodiment, indicia 40 are provided on a plurality of sheets 10 (some or all) of the sheets 10 in the sheet stack 11. The sheet stack 11 of the third embodiment includes a plurality of sheets 10 provided with indicia 40 printed in different colors, and may satisfy at least one of the following three configurations.
[0117] In the first embodiment, the sheet laminate 11 includes a plurality of sheets 10 on which different types of indicia among four types of indicia (41 to 44) are printed in different colors. For example, as shown in Fig. 12A, it is preferable to include a sheet 10 having a fourth indicia 44 (e.g., "Thank you for everything") printed in a "first color" and a sheet 10 having a first indicia 41 (e.g., "You're running out soon") printed in a "second color."
[0118] In the second embodiment, the sheet laminate 11 includes a plurality of sheets 10 on which the same type of markings 40 among the four types of markings (41 to 44) but with different words are printed in different colors. For example, as shown in Fig. 12B, it is preferable to include a sheet 10 having a first marking 41 with text 40c in a "first color" that reads "5 more", and a sheet 10 having the same first marking 41 with text 40c in a "second color" that reads "You're running low".
[0119] In the third embodiment, the sheet stack 11 includes a plurality of sheets 10 on which the same type of indicia 40 among the four types of indicia (41 to 44) and the same words are printed in different colors. For example, as shown in Fig. 12C, it is preferable to include a sheet 10 having the fourth indicia 44, which is "Thank you," in the letters 40c of a "first color," and a sheet 10 having the fourth indicia 44, which is "Thank you," in the letters 40c of a "second color."
[0120] In this way, it is preferable that each of the sheets 10 in the sheet laminate 11 has a different color indicia 40. This changes the impression of the indicia 40, so that the user is less likely to tire of the indicia 40 of the sheet 10, and can enjoy the indicia 40 every time the sheet 10 having the indicia 40 is taken out of the bag body 20. Thus, the indicia 40 can ease negative feelings when using the sheet 10. Note that one indicia 40 may be printed in two or more colors, and in this case, it is preferable to print the indicia 40 in a different color combination depending on the sheet 10.
[0121] Alternatively, the color of the indicator 40 may be different depending on the number of remaining sheets 10. For example, the indicator 40 of the tenth sheet 10 from the end may be blue, and the indicator 40 of the fifth sheet 10 from the end may be red. Preferably, the relationship between the colors according to the remaining number of sheets 10 is made the same for multiple packages 1, so that the relationship between the color of the sheets 10 and the remaining number of sheets 10 can be imprinted on the user. Thus, the user can immediately know the remaining number of sheets 10 in stages based on the color of the indicator 40 of the sheets 10.
[0122] The difference in color of the display 40 may be determined when the difference in color can be recognized by visual inspection, or may be determined by measuring the color difference of the target display 40 using a color difference meter. The color difference is measured using a general-purpose color difference meter (for example, CR-300 manufactured by Konica Minolta, or an equivalent) in a thermostatic room at 20 degrees (the color difference of the fourth embodiment is measured in the same manner). The color difference is preferably determined by making the colors of the display 40 of each sheet 10 different so that the color difference is at least at a level that allows the two target colors to be distinguished even when they are located apart. Specifically, the color difference may be determined based on the JIS standard or tolerance grades commonly used in various industrial associations, for example, L conforming to CIE1976. * a * b * The colors are considered to be different when the color difference (ΔE76) calculated by the color difference formula in the color space is 3.2 or more, preferably 6.5 or more, more preferably 13.0 or more, and even more preferably 25.0 or more.
[0123] ===Fourth embodiment=== 13A and 13B are explanatory diagrams of a sheet 10 contained in a sheet packaging body 1 of the fourth embodiment. The sheet laminate 11 of the fourth embodiment includes a sheet 10 having a dyed portion and an indication 40. The sheet laminate 11 may include only one sheet 10, or may include a plurality of sheets. As shown in FIG. 13A, the entire surface of the sheet 10 may be dyed, or a portion of the sheet 10 may be dyed. A known pigment or dye, or a combination thereof, may be used to dye the sheet 10. The "dyed portion" of the sheet 10 is not limited to a portion where the nonwoven fabric portion of the sheet 10 is dyed, but may also be a dyed thread (e.g., blue thread, etc.) sewn into the nonwoven fabric portion of the sheet 10. In other words, the dyed thread and the indication 40 may ease the negative feelings of the user or inform the user that the sheet laminate 11 has been used up.
[0124] The dyed sheet 10 can change the impression of the display 40, improving the design of the sheet 10 and entertaining the user. This can ease the user's negative emotions. The color used to dye the sheet 10 and the color of the display 40 may be different colors, or the same color with different densities. The color difference between the color of the sheet 10 and the color of the display 40 should be at least such that the two colors can be distinguished even when they are adjacent to each other. Specifically, the tolerance level is determined based on the JIS standard or the tolerance grades generally used in various industrial associations, for example, L according to CIE1976. * a * b * The color difference (ΔE76) calculated by the color difference formula in the color space 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.
[0125] Furthermore, if the other sheets 10 in the sheet stack 11 are not dyed, the dyed sheet 10 stands out easily, and the indicia 40 provided on the sheet 10 is easily noticed by the user. As a result, the indicia 40 (characters 40c) can ease the user's negative feelings and easily convey that the sheet stack 11 has been used up.
[0126] 13A and 13B, the sheet laminate 10 may include a plurality of sheets 10 having indicia 40, each of which is dyed in a different color. In this way, the user is less likely to get bored with the indicia 40 of the sheets 10 or the colors of the dyed sheets 10, and can enjoy the dyed sheets 10. This can alleviate the user's negative feelings.
[0127] Also, as shown in Figs. 13A and 13B, the color of the dyed sheets 10 may be different depending on the number of remaining sheets 10. Preferably, the relationship between the dyed color of the sheets 10 depending on the number of remaining sheets 10 is made the same for a plurality of packages 1, so that the relationship between the color of the sheets 10 and the number of remaining sheets 10 can be imprinted on the user. In this way, the user can immediately know the number of remaining sheets 10 in stages by the dyed color of the sheets 10. Note that it is preferable that the color difference between the dyed colors of each sheet 10 is at least a degree that allows the two target colors to be distinguished even when they are located apart. Specifically, based on the JIS standard or a tolerance grade commonly used in various industrial associations, for example, L according to CIE1976, * a * b * The colors are considered to be different when the color difference (ΔE76) calculated by the color difference formula in the color space is 3.2 or more, preferably 6.5 or more, more preferably 13.0 or more, and even more preferably 25.0 or more.
[0128] ===Other embodiments=== Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the above embodiment is intended to facilitate understanding of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Furthermore, the present invention may be modified or improved without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and it goes without saying that the present invention includes equivalents thereof.
[0129] For example, in the above embodiment, the sheet laminate 11 is exemplified by a stack of a plurality of sheets 10, but the present invention is not limited to this, and may be a sheet laminate in which sheets are stacked in a roll. In a roll-type sheet, continuous sheets are perforated, and when a user takes the sheets out of a bag or a storage container, a part of the continuous sheets is separated. By providing a display 40 having characters 40c to such a roll-type sheet laminate, the same effect as the above embodiment can be obtained. [Explanation of symbols]
