Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an individual package for an absorbent article. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, individual absorbent article packages are known in which absorbent articles are individually packaged in a packaging sheet. Individual absorbent article packages are often sold in a state where a plurality of them are housed in one packaging bag. In addition, a consumer can take out a required number of individual packages from the packaging bag in which the plurality of packages are housed and carry them with them, but since the performance of the absorbent article is often indicated on the packaging bag, it becomes impossible to know the absorption performance of the absorbent article contained in the individual package after it is taken out. On the other hand, information on the performance of an absorbent article may be displayed on the individual packaging of the absorbent article. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses an absorbent article with a packaging sheet in which information on the absorbent article is displayed on the packaging sheet. Patent Document 2 discloses an individual packaging of an absorbent article in which a main body marking part is provided on the outer surface, the main body marking part being displayed in different colors according to the absorption capacity classification of the absorbent article. Patent Document 3 discloses a package of an absorbent article in which the background part of the marking part including characters or symbols representing the absorption capacity classification of the absorbent article, the characters or symbols, and the sealing tape are displayed in the same color, and are displayed in different colors according to the absorption capacity classification.

[0004] In some cases, nonwoven fabric is used as a packaging sheet for an individual package. However, because nonwoven fabric has high light transmittance, even if a description of the performance of an absorbent article is printed on the outer surface of the individual package, the color of the absorbent article inside is transmitted when viewed from the outside and stands out more than the color of the description on the packaging sheet, making it difficult to see the performance description.

[0005] The present invention relates to an individual package for an absorbent article, which allows a user to easily recognize the absorption performance, etc., of the absorbent article even when the individual package is removed from a packaging bag, and which has performance indications that are easily visible even when a nonwoven fabric is used as a packaging sheet. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The present invention relates to an individual package of absorbent articles in which absorbent articles are individually packaged in a packaging sheet. The absorbent article is preferably folded in the longitudinal direction together with the packaging sheet with the back sheet side, which is the surface not facing the skin during use, facing the packaging sheet side. It is preferable that the packaging sheet has at least the surface side that forms the outer surface of the individual package formed from nonwoven fabric, and that the packaging sheet has performance notations indicating the performance of the absorbent article provided in the area that forms at least the opening surface of the individual package. The performance label is preferably displayed in a color different from the color of the back sheet, and is preferably present in the area overlapping the absorbent article. Effect of the Invention

[0007] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide an individual package for an absorbent article that allows a user to easily recognize the absorption performance, etc., of the absorbent article even when the individual package is removed from a packaging bag, and that allows the performance information to be easily read even when a nonwoven fabric is used as the packaging sheet.

[Figure 4] FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a schematic diagram of a preferred embodiment of the individual packaging body of the present invention. [Diagram 5] 5(a) and (b) are development views that typically show a preferred embodiment of the performance notation of the present invention.

[0009] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on preferred embodiments with reference to the drawings. The absorbent article of the present invention is used mainly for absorbing and retaining bodily fluids excreted from the body, such as urine, menstrual blood, etc. The absorbent article 10 in the individual absorbent article package 30 of this embodiment is, for example, an incontinence pad, a sanitary napkin, or a panty liner, and the illustrated example is an incontinence pad.

[0010] In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2(b), the individual packaging body 30 and the absorbent article 10 contained in the individual packaging body 30 have a vertically elongated shape, and have a longitudinal direction X corresponding to the front-rear direction of the wearer and a width direction Y perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the individual packaging body 30 has a direction X that coincides with the longitudinal direction X of the absorbent article 10 and a direction Y perpendicular to the longitudinal direction X. In this specification, the longitudinal direction X of the individual packaging body 30 coincides with the longitudinal direction X of the absorbent article 10, and the width direction Y of the individual packaging body 30 coincides with the width direction Y of the absorbent article 10. In the following description, the longitudinal direction X of the absorbent article 10 and the longitudinal direction X of the individual packaging body 30 are also referred to as the "longitudinal direction X", and the width direction Y of the absorbent article 10 and the width direction Y of the individual packaging body 30 are also referred to as the "width direction Y". When not in use, the absorbent article 10 is folded in the longitudinal direction X from the unfolded state as shown in FIG. 2(b) to form an individual package 30 as shown in FIG.

[0011] 2(a) and (b), the individual packaging body 30 includes an absorbent article 10 and a packaging sheet 20 for packaging the absorbent article 10. The absorbent article 10 includes an absorbent body 13, a top sheet 11 arranged on the skin-facing side of the absorbent body 13, a back sheet 12 arranged on the non-skin-facing side of the absorbent body 13, and side gathers 14 arranged on both sides of the absorbent body. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, the back sheet 12 forming the non-skin-facing side has anti-slip portions 15 arranged intermittently.

[0012] In this specification, the "skin-facing side" refers to the side of the absorbent article 10 or its constituent members (e.g., absorbent body 13) that faces the skin of the wearer when the absorbent article 10 is worn, i.e., the side relatively closer to the wearer's skin, and the "non-skin-facing side" refers to the side of the absorbent article 10 or its constituent members that faces the opposite side to the skin side when the absorbent article 10 is worn, i.e., the side relatively farther from the wearer's skin. Note that "when worn" here refers to the normal appropriate wearing position, i.e., a state in which the absorbent article 10 is maintained in the correct wearing position.

[0013] The packaging sheet 20 in the individual package 30 is disposed on the back sheet 12 side of the absorbent article 10, and covers the non-skin facing side of the absorbent article 10. The absorbent article 10 is releasably adhered to the packaging sheet 20 by a slippage prevention portion 15 formed on the non-skin facing side. The specific configuration of the slippage prevention portion 15 will be described later.

[0014] The non-skin facing surface of the absorbent article 10 is provided with a slip prevention portion 15. The slip prevention portion 15 is provided on the non-skin facing surface of the back sheet 12. The slip prevention portion 15 is also used to fix the absorbent article 10 to underwear when it is used. The slip prevention portion 15 is preferably formed by applying an adhesive to the back sheet 12, but a means for increasing frictional force other than the adhesive may be applied. When applying the adhesive, there is no particular restriction on the application pattern. For example, one example is a case where a large number of band-shaped adhesive portions extending in the width direction are intermittently arranged in the longitudinal direction X at intervals approximately equal to the width of the slip prevention portion 15 (see FIG. 3). Before use, the slip prevention portion 15 is covered with a release sheet made of a film, nonwoven fabric, paper, or the like. 1(b)(c), 2(a)(b), and 3, the absorbent article 10 is folded in the longitudinal direction X together with its packaging sheet 20 by being folded in the longitudinal direction X at a plurality of positions spaced apart in the longitudinal direction X. Portions of the folded packaging sheet 20 extending from side edges in the width direction Y of the absorbent article 10 in the folded state may be joined by a known joining means such as heat sealing.

[0015] In the individual packaging body 30 of this embodiment, the absorbent article 10 is folded in three. Specifically, the absorbent article 10 and the packaging sheet 20 are folded along a first folding line L1 and a second folding line L2 that extend in the width direction Y, respectively, with the top sheet 11 facing inward, and are folded in three as a whole. The individual packaging body 30 has an overlapping portion 80 where the ends of the absorbent article 10 in the longitudinal direction X overlap each other. As shown in FIG. 3, the slippage prevention portion 15 is partially present at the end of the overlapping portion 80 that is closer to the opening surface.

[0016] 1(a) to 1(c), the packaging sheet 20 is folded along the first folding line L1 and the second folding line L2 with the back surface facing inward, and has two front regions 60A, 60B forming the opening surface 40 in the state of the individual package 30, and a back region 70 forming the non-opening surface 50 opposite the opening surface 40. The back surface of the packaging sheet 20 is the surface that faces the absorbent article 10 in the individual package 30.

[0017] When the packaging sheet 20 is divided into two front regions 60A, 60B and a back region 70 as described above, the fastening tape 21 has a part, the fixing portion 21a, fixed to one front region 60A in a manner that makes it difficult to peel off, and another part, fixed to the other front region 60B in a manner that allows it to be peeled off. More specifically, one end 20a of the packaging sheet 20 on the side that becomes the starting end for opening in the individual package 30 is provided with a fastening tape 21, and the one end 20a is removably joined to the overlapping surface of the one end 20a via the fastening tape 21. In this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 1(a)(b) and Fig. 2(a)(b), the fastening tape 21 has a fixing part 21a fixed to one end 20a of the unfolded packaging sheet 20 in a manner that makes it difficult to peel it off, and a fastening part 21b extending from the one end 20a and releasably fixed to the outer surface of the packaging sheet 20. The fastening part 21b may be detachable. The one end 20a is releasably joined to the surface where the one end 20a is overlapped via the fastening tape 21.

[0018] The fastening tape 21 has a fixing part 21a at one end in the longitudinal direction, which is fixed to the packaging sheet 20 in a manner that makes it difficult to peel off, and a fastening part 21b at the other end, which is fixed to another member in a manner that allows it to be peeled off. An adhesive (not shown) is provided on the surface of the fastening part 21b of the fastening tape 21 that faces the packaging sheet 20 in the individual package 30 (the surface opposite to the surface exposed in the individual package 30). The fastening part 21b releasably fixed to the other front region 60B of the fastening tape 21 can be easily peeled off by being held by hand when opening the individual package 30. The fastening tape 21 functions as a sealing part for the unused individual package 30, and also functions as a gripping part for opening that is held by fingers when opening the individual package 30.

[0019] In the individual package 30, the absorbent article 10 is folded with the back sheet 12 facing inward along a first folding line L1 and a second folding line L2 each extending in the width direction Y with the surface of the back sheet 12, which is the surface not facing the skin during use, facing the packaging sheet, and then folded in thirds or fourths, preferably in thirds, together with the packaging sheet 20 in the longitudinal direction, and then closed with a fastening tape 21 to prevent the opening start end from being unintentionally opened. The individual package 30 is composed of the packaging sheet 20 provided with a pattern, and the fastening tape 21 provided on one end 20a of the packaging sheet 20 on the side that becomes the opening start end of the individual package 30.

[0020] The packaging sheet 20 has a surface side that forms the outer surface of the individual package 30 formed from at least a nonwoven fabric, and a performance description 2 that indicates the performance of the absorbent article 10 is provided in an area of ​​the packaging sheet 20 that forms the opening surface 40 of the individual package 30. The performance description 2 indicates the absorbent article's absorption capacity, product length, whether or not it has wings, whether it is for day use or night use, etc. In this embodiment, a numerical value indicating the absorption capacity of the absorbent article is indicated as the performance description 2 of the absorbent article. The numerical value indicating the absorption capacity may be with a unit such as mL, or may be simply a numerical value without a unit. Furthermore, the performance notation 2 is displayed in a color different from the color of the back sheet 12 of the absorbent article 10, and is present in the area overlapping with the absorbent article 10. This makes the performance notation 2 noticeable when viewed from the user, even if the packaging sheet 20 is a nonwoven fabric with high light transmittance and easy to see through. The area overlapping with the absorbent article 10 refers to the area where the absorbent article 10 is interposed between the opening surface 40 and the non-opening surface 50, and "the performance notation 2 is present in the area overlapping with the absorbent article 10" means that at least one performance notation 2 overlaps with the absorbent article 10. The opening surface 40 is the surface on the side having the opening start end where opening begins, and the non-opening surface 50 is the surface opposite to the opening surface. In the present invention, "indication" refers to something represented or written in letters or symbols, and "display" refers to something displayed externally. Letters include numbers. The method of indicative notation is preferably, but is not limited to, printing. The numerical value indicating the absorption capacity can be set arbitrarily depending on the absorption capacity of the absorbent article 10.

[0021] The performance notations 2 on the packaging sheet 20 are made visible from the outside when the individual package 30 is in a non-expanded state, i.e., in an individually packaged state. In the individual packaging body 30 of this embodiment, the packaging sheet 20 constituting the individual packaging body has a performance notation 2, so that the user can easily recognize the absorption performance of the absorbent article 10 even when the absorbent article 10 is in a standalone state after being removed from the packaging bag. Moreover, since the performance notation 2 is written in the area of ​​the packaging sheet 20 that overlaps with the absorbent article 10, the performance notation is easy to see even when a nonwoven fabric is used as the packaging sheet 20 or a laminate sheet having nonwoven fabric on its outer surface and having optical transparency is used, etc., and from this perspective, consumers can easily recognize the absorption performance of the absorbent article 10.

[0022] In this embodiment, the performance notation 2 is printed on the outer surface of the packaging sheet 20, i.e., the surface of the packaging sheet 20 facing away from the absorbent article 10, together with a pattern unrelated to the performance of the absorbent article 10, so that the performance notation 2 is not conspicuous. This gives the user an impression of glamor and ingenuity regarding the absorbent article 10, and can ease the user's feelings of melancholy about using the absorbent article 10 before wearing it. In addition, by adopting a pattern that is highly aesthetic, it becomes easier to give the user an impression of glamor and ingenuity regarding the absorbent article 10.

[0023] In the individual package 30, the packaging sheet 20 shown in Fig. 1(a) is folded at L1 and L2 together with the absorbent article 10 into a folded state in three. In this folded state in three, the absorbent article 10 has an overlapping portion 80 where its longitudinal ends overlap. As described above, the absorbent article has a slip prevention portion 15 on the back sheet 12. The performance marking 2 is arranged so that the slip prevention portion 15 of the absorbent article 10 and the performance marking 2 overlap at the overlapping portion 80. More specifically, the performance marking 2 overlaps the end of the overlapping portion 80 that is closer to the opening surface 40. The overlapping portion 80 of the absorbent article 10, the anti-slip portion 15, and the performance marking 2 overlap, and the performance marking 2 and the anti-slip portion 15 come into close contact with each other, making it even easier to check the performance marking 2 from the outside.

[0024] The performance marking 2 is written in a color with a higher saturation than the color of the back sheet 12 of the absorbent article 10. The color of the back sheet 12 is generally a pale color such as white, light blue, or pale pink. By increasing the saturation of the performance marking 2 that overlaps with the folded back sheet 12, it becomes easier to check the performance marking 2 from the outside.

[0025] In the individual package state, the opening surface 40 of the packaging sheet 20 is formed by connecting two front regions 60A, 60B in a partially overlapping state, and the performance notation 2 is provided on both or either one of the two front regions 60A, 60B. Specifically, as shown in Fig. 5(a) and (b), the performance notation 2 is displayed only on the two front regions 60A, 60B of the opening surface 40 of the individual package 30. This has the advantage that the performance notation 2 is visible only when the user opens the individual package 30, and the performance notation 2 cannot be seen from the non-opening surface 50 side, thereby increasing concealment from others. A back area 70 is formed on the non-opening surface 50 of the packaging sheet 20 opposite to the opening surface 40. In the back area 70, only a design is displayed. The performance markings 2 may be written on only one of the two front regions 60A, 60B, or may be written on both. Also, each of the two front regions 60A, 60B may have only one performance marking or multiple performance marks. It is preferable that the multiple performance marks 2 form a row 22 in which multiple performance marks 2 are lined up in one direction, and the row 22 in which the multiple performance marks 2 are lined up in one direction may extend in the width direction Y, as shown in FIG. 1(a), or may extend in a diagonal direction with respect to both the longitudinal direction X and the width direction Y, as shown in FIG. 5(a). It is also preferable that the row 22 in which a plurality of performance markings 2 are arranged in one direction has a brand marking 3 between the performance markings 2 .

[0026] The fastening tape 21 is provided in the region 60A of the two front regions 60A and 60B of the opening surface 40, and the performance marking 2 is preferably provided in the front region 60A where the fastening tape 21 is fixed so as to be difficult to peel off. The performance marking 2 is preferably arranged in the region of one of the front regions 60A where the fastening tape 21 is provided, along an edge extending in the width direction Y perpendicular to the longitudinal direction X. The one of the front regions 60A where the fastening tape 21 is provided means the front region 60A where the fastening tape 21 is fixed by the fixing portion 21a so as to be difficult to peel off. The performance marking 2 is preferably formed in a region where the two front regions 60A and 60B are connected in a partially overlapping state. When the performance notation 2 is arranged in this manner, the performance notation 2 is not obscured by the sheet in the area 60B which is easily covered when pressed with a finger, and the performance notation 2 is clearly displayed to the user, which has the advantage of making the performance notation 2 easier to read.

[0027] A row 22 in which a plurality of performance marks 2 are arranged in one direction preferably has a brand mark 3 of the absorbent article 10 in addition to the performance marks 2 such as numerical values ​​indicating the absorption capacity. The performance marks and the brand mark are preferably arranged alternately in parallel along the width direction Y perpendicular to the longitudinal direction X of the packaging sheet 20. 1, the individual packaging body 30 of this embodiment has performance markings 2 and absorbent article brand markings 3 alternately along one direction, and at least one of the performance markings 2 and the brand markings 3 is present in its entirety without being interrupted at the short edge of the packaging sheet 20. When manufacturing such individual packaging body 30, for example, in the manufacturing process of the packaging sheet 20, when a continuous body of packaging sheet unwound from a roll-shaped original is cut sequentially at predetermined positions to form short packaging sheets 20 having dimensions suitable for individual individual packaging bodies, a continuous long packaging sheet on which the performance markings 2 and the brand markings 3 are repeatedly marked along the conveying direction is used, and at least one of the performance markings 2 and the brand markings 3 is present in its entirety on each of the individual short sheets produced by the cutting, regardless of the position in the longitudinal direction at which the sheet is cut. This allows the user to reliably view both the performance marking 2 and the brand marking 3, and therefore the next time a similar product is purchased, the user can purchase and use the individual package 30 or absorbent article 10 having the same brand logo without hesitation, which is an extremely advantageous effect for products that are purchased repeatedly. Note that the performance marking 2 and the brand marking 3 may be printed inline in a process upstream of the cutting process.

[0028] The performance marking 2 is usually provided by printing on the non-skin-facing surface of the packaging sheet 20. Printing of the performance marking 2 can be performed according to a known printing method, such as offset printing, gravure printing, flexographic printing, screen printing, sticker printing, inkjet printing, etc.

[0029] The present invention has the effect of providing high visibility for the performance descriptions written on the packaging sheet 20, even when the packaging sheet 20 is made of a nonwoven fabric with high light transmittance, for example, a nonwoven fabric with a total light transmittance of 50% or more. In the present invention, the "total light transmittance" refers to a value measured in accordance with JIS K7361-1: 1997. The higher the total light transmittance, the higher the light transmittance can be evaluated. [Method for measuring total light transmittance] The total light transmittance can be measured using a commercially available haze meter (for example, "NDH500" manufactured by Nippon Denshoku Industries Co., Ltd.) The diameter of the measurement light beam is 14 mm, and the diameter of the entrance aperture is 25 mm. The total light transmittance of the packaging sheet 20 can be adjusted, for example, by changing the coating amount by gravure printing or by using coloring materials of different colors by flexographic printing or screen printing. Also, the areas with different total light transmittances can be formed, for example, by changing the coating amount per unit area of ​​a single coloring material or by using multiple coloring materials of different colors. The total light transmittance of the nonwoven fabric is preferably 45.0% or more, more preferably 50.0% or more, and is preferably 90.0% or less, more preferably 80.0% or less, and is preferably 45.0% or more and 90.0% or less, more preferably 50.0% or more and 80.0% or less.

[0030] In the performance description 2, it is preferable that the length in the width direction Y of each of the performance description and the brand description of the absorbent article 10 is longer than the length in the width direction Y of the fastening tape 21. In addition, it is preferable that the color of the performance description 2 is different from the color of the fastening tape 21. Specifically, it is preferable that the color of the fastening tape 21 is different from the colors, such as light pink and light blue, that are preferably used as the colors of the performance description 2. Furthermore, in the performance description 2, the performance description of the absorbent article 10 is preferably composed of numbers. The numbers are preferably written in Arabic numerals, including numbers in circles. The periphery of the numbers may be surrounded by a design unrelated to the performance description. These configurations have the effect of making the performance notation 2 stand out from the outside, making it easier for users to see the performance notation 2.

[0031] Next, the constituent materials of each part constituting the individual packaging body will be described. The topsheet 11 may be a liquid-permeable sheet, such as a nonwoven fabric or a perforated film. The topsheet 11 may have an uneven surface on its skin-facing side. For example, a plurality of scattered convex portions may be formed on the skin-facing side of the topsheet 11. Alternatively, ridges and grooves extending in one direction may be formed alternately on the skin-facing side of the topsheet 11. For such a purpose, the topsheet 11 may be formed using two or more sheets of nonwoven fabric.

[0032] For example, a liquid-impermeable film or a spunbond-meltblown-spunbond laminated nonwoven fabric can be used as the back sheet 12. A plurality of micropores may be provided in the liquid-impermeable film to impart water vapor permeability to the film. In order to further improve the feel of the absorbent article 10 against the skin, the back sheet 12 may have a sheet with a good texture, such as a nonwoven fabric, laminated on the outer surface of the resin film.

[0033] The absorbent core of the absorbent body 13 is composed of, for example, a pile of hydrophilic fibers such as cellulose including pulp, a mixed pile of the hydrophilic fibers and an absorbent polymer, or a pile of absorbent polymer. At least the skin-facing surface of the absorbent core may be covered with a liquid-permeable core wrap sheet, or the entire surface including the skin-facing surface and the non-skin-facing surface may be covered with the core wrap sheet. As the core wrap sheet, for example, tissue paper made of hydrophilic fibers or liquid-permeable nonwoven fabric can be used. The absorbent body 13 may be composed of only the absorbent core.

[0034] The absorbent core may be mainly composed of an absorbent sheet, which is a sheet-like absorbent body. The absorbent sheet is typically composed of a fiber sheet mainly composed of a fiber material such as wood pulp, and a water-absorbing material such as an absorbent polymer fixed inside or on the surface of the fiber sheet. The absorbent sheet may have a configuration in which particles of an absorbent polymer are interposed between two sheets facing each other.

[0035] The packaging sheet 20 may be one that is commonly used in individual packaging for absorbent articles. For example, a nonwoven fabric having a single layer or multilayer structure is preferably used. A laminate of a nonwoven fabric and a resin film may also be used. The laminate sheet is preferably used so that the nonwoven fabric is positioned on the outer surface of the individual packaging. The nonwoven fabric constituting a part of the laminate sheet also preferably has a total light transmittance of 50% or more, and the total light transmittance of the entire laminate sheet is also preferably 50% or more.

[0036] The design printed on the packaging sheet 20 is not limited to the one shown in the figure, and can be changed as appropriate according to the intended use of the absorbent article 10. For example, a design imitating a starry sky, or a simpler design consisting of only a checkered pattern or straight lines, etc., may be used. For example, a design imitating a starry sky can be suitably applied to the individual package 30 of the absorbent article 10 to be used at night, and a simple design can increase the concealment of the absorbent article 10 contained therein and can be suitably applied to the individual package 30 of the absorbent article 10 for men. In addition, instead of the absorption capacity, the performance indication may indicate the longitudinal length of the absorbent article, the presence or absence of wings, etc. The row 22 in which a plurality of performance indications 2 are arranged in one direction may not include a brand indication. The performance marking 2 may be provided in an area forming the non-opening surface 50 of the packaging sheet 20 instead of or together with the opening surface 40 .

[0037] Although the present invention has been described based on the preferred embodiments, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. [Explanation of symbols]
