Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a packaging box used for packaging items such as medicines, and in particular to a packaging box with a packaging sheet that can be cut out and used as a packaging sheet (a sheet for easily packaging items to be contained in the box after the box is opened). [Background technology]

[0002] The applicant of the present application has previously disclosed this type of packaging box with a packaging sheet in Patent Document 1.

[0003] The packaging box in Patent Document 1 was proposed with the aim of having an information card placed in part of the box large enough to accommodate a large amount of information about an item, and also capable of being used as a packaging sheet for easily packaging items.

[0004] The packaging box of Document 1 has cut lines around the periphery of the box in a size and shape that can wrap the item to be contained in the box, and is provided with a cuttable sheet around the periphery of the box that can be used to wrap the item; this sheet can be used as an information sheet by displaying various information about the item on its surface, or as a packaging sheet for easily packaging the item, or as an information / packaging sheet that serves both purposes.

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3199781 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] Incidentally, medical drugs such as tablets and capsules handled at medical institutions and dispensing pharmacies are packaged in a single PTP sheet, and these PTP sheets are further packaged in a pillowcase or bundled together with a cable tie, and then multiple tablets of drugs, such as 100 tablets, are packaged in individual boxes. In medical institutions and dispensing pharmacies, pharmacists take out only the amount of drugs they will use from the box, and put the rest back into the box and store them. As drugs are taken out of the box and used in this way, the number of drugs in the box gradually decreases, and in the box, for example, there is only one PTP sheet containing 10 tablets, and when part of this PTP sheet is cut off, there are only a few tablets left (for example, 4 tablets, 2 tablets, or 1 tablet). Nevertheless, the remaining drugs are returned to the original box and stored for storage purposes. In other words, both the drugs for one PTP sheet and a few tablets of the PTP sheet are stored in a box containing, for example, 100 tablets. It goes without saying that this is a waste of storage space for drugs.

[0007] Recently, the revised Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Act has made it mandatory to display bar codes on medical drugs, and GS1 codes (bar codes) are printed on the back of PTP sheets, as shown in Figure 13. These GS1 codes are printed on the back of PTP sheets in units of one tablet or two tablets, and it is expected that in the future, PTP sheet-packaged drugs will also be stored and managed in units of one tablet or two tablets.

[0008] In light of this, it is expected that in the future, this type of box will be required to be in a form suitable for storing medicines in units of a single PTP sheet or a portion of it, i.e., in units of a single tablet.

[0009] The present invention aims to solve such conventional problems, and provides a packaging box with a packaging sheet that can easily package the PTP sheets remaining in the box in units of one sheet (one piece) or a portion of one sheet (one piece), i.e., medicines up to one tablet, by changing the packaging form to suit the size and shape of the remaining items that decrease with use (consumption) of the items in the box. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] In order to achieve the above object, the packaging box with packaging sheet of the present invention comprises: A packaging box with a packaging sheet, the packaging box having a peripheral surface thereof provided with a cut line having a size and shape capable of wrapping an article to be contained in the box, a packaging sheet capable of wrapping the article being cut out and provided on the peripheral surface of the box so that the article can be easily wrapped with the packaging sheet cut out from the box, The packaging sheet comprises: A folding guide line that allows the entire product to be folded in at least two planes; a partial folding guide line on both ends or one end of each surface or part of each surface folded at least two ways by the folding line, which allows a part of the both ends or a part of the one end to be folded toward the other end; Equipped with The packaging sheet is adapted to package the remaining part of the article in accordance with the size and shape of the remaining part of the article that is reduced or contracted due to use of the article. The gist of the present invention is as follows. In this case, it is preferable that various information regarding the article is displayed on the surface of the packaging sheet.

[0011] It is preferable that each part of this packaging box is constructed as follows. (1) The folding guide lines include the fold lines that form the corners of the box. (2) The partial folding guide line consists of a folding line formed obliquely between the edge of each face or part of a face at both ends or one end in the longitudinal direction and the side edge of each face or part of a face. (3) In place of (2) above, the partial folding guide line comprises a cut line formed on or adjacent to the folding guide line at both longitudinal ends or one end of each face or part of a face, and a folding line formed between the inner end of the cut line and the side edge of each face or part of a face. (4) In place of (2) and (3) above, the partial folding guide line comprises a cut line formed in parallel on or adjacent to the folding guide line at both longitudinal ends or one end of each face or part of a face, and a plurality of folding lines formed in parallel between the cut line and the side edges of each face or part of a face. (5) A convex cut line is formed on one side of the cut line, and the packaging sheet has a convex portion on one side, and a cut line is formed in the convex portion so that the other side can be cut up relative to one side of the packaging sheet side of the convex portion, and the other side forms a locking claw. (6) A convex cut line is formed on one side of the cut line, and the packaging sheet has a convex locking portion on one side and an engagement portion consisting of a cut line into which the locking portion can be inserted and locked on the other side of the packaging sheet. Effect of the Invention

[0012] According to the packaging box with packaging sheet of the present invention, the above-mentioned configuration makes it possible for the packaging sheet to package the remaining part of the item in accordance with the size and shape of the remaining part of the item that is reduced or shrinked as the item is used (consumed).For example, in the case of a medicine packaged in a PTP sheet, the PTP sheet remaining in the box can be easily packaged by changing the packaging form from one sheet (single piece) to a portion of one sheet (single piece), i.e., up to one tablet, in accordance with the size and shape of the remaining part of the item that is reduced or shrinked as the item is used.This provides a unique and exceptional effect of the present invention.

[0014] Next, the embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Each of the following embodiments illustrates a packaging box with a pharmaceutical packaging sheet used to package a plurality of tablets or capsules stored in a single PTP sheet, which are then pillow-packaged in units of a plurality of PTP sheets, or bundled together with a cable tie (hereinafter referred to as a pharmaceutical pack).

[0015] The first embodiment is shown in Figures 1 and 2. Figure 1 shows the configuration of a packaging box B1 with a packaging sheet, and Figure 2 shows the configuration of a blank sheet P1 before assembly of the packaging box B1 with a packaging sheet.

[0016] As shown in FIG. 1, a packaging box B1 with a packaging sheet (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as packaging box B1 or box B1) has a cut-out line C1 on the peripheral surface of box B1 in a size and shape capable of wrapping a pharmaceutical pack to be contained in box B1, and is provided with a cut-out packaging sheet S1 capable of wrapping the pharmaceutical pack on the peripheral surface of box B1, so that the pharmaceutical pack can be easily wrapped using the packaging sheet S1 cut from box B1.

[0017] In particular, in this packaging box B1, the packaging sheet S1 is provided with a folding guide line F that allows the entire sheet to be folded into at least two faces S1A, S1B, and a partial folding guide line F1 that allows a portion of both ends or a portion of one end of each face or part of each face folded into at least two faces S1A, S1B by the folding line F to be folded toward the other end, and this packaging sheet S1 is adapted to package the remaining part of the pharmaceutical pack that is reduced as the PTP sheet-packaged pharmaceutical is used, in accordance with the size and shape of the remaining part of the pharmaceutical pack.

[0018] In this packaging box, the packaging sheet S1 can be used as both an information display sheet and a packaging sheet by displaying various information related to the pharmaceutical product on the surface thereof. In this embodiment, the latter is used.

[0019] As shown in FIG. 2, this box B1 consists of a single blank sheet P1 formed as a single unit by punching out paperboard, and this blank sheet P1 is assembled by folding each part in sequence and gluing and fixing each designated bonding position with glue.

[0020] The blank sheet P1 can be assembled into a rectangular parallelepiped shape that is long in the left-right direction, and in a state after assembly into the rectangular parallelepiped shape, the blank sheet P1 has four side surface shape portions P11-P15 (bottom surface shape portion P11, front surface shape portion P12, top surface shape portion P13, back surface shape portion P14, and connecting surface shape portion P15) that are connected to each other via folding lines L1-L4 and form a bottom surface 11, a front surface 12, a top surface 13, a back surface 14, and a connecting surface 15 between the bottom surface 11 and the back surface 14 that is superimposed on the bottom surface 11, and folding lines L5, L6 and L7, L8 are formed at both ends of the bottom surface shape portion P11 and the top surface shape portion P13, respectively, in the left-right direction, and the rectangular parallelepiped shape is formed into a rectangular parallelepiped shape. The back surface portion P14 has a left flap shape portion P16, a right flap shape portion P17, a left top flap shape portion P18, and a right top flap shape portion P19 which form a bottom left flap 16, a bottom right flap 17, a top left flap 18, and a top right flap 19 when assembled into a solid shape, a left lid shape portion P21 which is formed at one left end of the back surface portion P14 via a fold line L11 and forms a lid 21 on the left end surface when assembled into a rectangular parallelepiped shape, and a right lid shape portion P22 which is formed at one right end of the back surface portion P14 via a fold line L12 and forms a lid 22 on the right end surface when assembled into a rectangular parallelepiped shape.

[0021] In this case, the four side surface portions P11-P14 are each formed as a rectangular shape that is long in the left-right direction, the connecting surface portion P15 is formed as a trapezoid that is long in the left-right direction and has a small height, and the front surface portion P12 and the back surface portion P14 (their vertical heights) are formed slightly larger than the bottom surface portion P11 and the top surface portion P13 (their front-rear length). The connecting surface portion P15 has a left-right length that is approximately the same as the left-right lengths of the bottom and top surface portions P11 and P13, and a front-rear length that is smaller than the front-rear and left-right lengths of the bottom and top surface portions P11 and P13. The bottom left flap portion P16 and the bottom right flap portion P17 are each formed as an approximately trapezoid, and the top left flap portion P18 and the top right flap portion P19 are each formed as an approximately trapezoid. The left cover portion P21 and the right cover portion P22 are each formed in a rectangular shape, and have insertion pieces 211, 221 formed in a semi-truck field shape at their tips via folding lines.

[0022] In this case, a break line C31 for separating the right lid portion P22 is formed in the shape of an approximately trapezoidal groove at the right end of the front portion P12, and a break line C32 for separating the left lid portion P21 is formed in the shape of an approximately trapezoidal groove at the left end of the front portion P12 so that the box B1 can be easily folded when the box B1 is discarded.

[0023] In this blank sheet P1, a cut line C1 has a convex shape on one side and is drawn in a rectangular shape of a size capable of wrapping a medicine, spanning three adjacent side shape portions: a front shape portion P12 that forms the front surface 12 of the box B1, a top surface shape portion P13 that forms the top surface 13, and a back surface shape portion P14 that forms the back surface 14.The cut line C1 consists of a convex cut line C11 and a rectangular cut line C12, and a packaging sheet S1 is formed that can be cut out to easily package the PTP-packaged medicine after the box B1 is opened and to display various information about the medicine packaged in the box B1. In addition, in the case of this box B1, a convex-shaped cut line C11 is formed on one side of the cut line C1, the packaging sheet S1 has a convex-shaped portion S11 on one side, and a cut-and-raise line C113 is formed in this convex-shaped portion S11 so that the other side side can be cut and raised relative to the one side side of the packaging sheet S1 side of the convex-shaped portion S11, and a locking claw S111 is provided on the other end side.

[0024] In this case, the convex cut line C11 is formed by a pair of short perforation lines C111 extending parallel to both ends of the front shape portion from the center of the folding line L2 between the front shape portion P12 and the top surface shape portion P13 of the box B1 toward the front shape portion P12 side, and a perforation line C112 extending continuously in an arc shape between these perforation lines C111. Further, within this convex cut line C11, a cut-and-raise line C113 is formed between the pair of parallel cut lines C111 and the arc-shaped cut line C112. The cut-and-raised line C113 is made up of a folding line C114 formed in a slightly straight line shape from between a pair of parallel cutting lines C111 and an arc-shaped cutting line C112 toward the opposite sides of each other, and a cut line C115 formed in a convex arc shape toward the other end direction (toward the top surface portion P13) between these folding lines C114, and the portion surrounded by the arc-shaped cut line C115 forms the locking claw S111. By tilting one end of this convex cutting line C11 surrounded by the arc-shaped perforation line C112 toward the back surface side, the locking claw S111 is raised from its original planar position, and by returning the one end, the locking claw S111 is returned to its original planar position. The rectangular cut line C12 is made up of a cut line C121 on one side on the front side, a cut line C122 on one side on the left side, a cut line C123 on one side on the right side, and a cut line C124 on one side on the back side. The cut line C121 on the front side is formed by a zipper line extending from the other end of the pair of parallel perforation lines C111 of the convex cut line C11 on the folding line L2 between the front shape portion P12 and the top surface shape portion P13 in the left-right direction to a predetermined position close to the left and right ends of the front shape portion P12. The cut line C122 on the left side is formed by a perforation line continuing from the left end of the cut line C121 on the front side to the inside of the left end of the top surface shape portion P13 and the back shape portion P14, parallel to said end. The cut line C123 on the right side is continuous with the right end of the cut line C121 on the front side and is formed by a perforation line parallel to the right end inside the right end of the top surface shape portion P13 and the back surface shape portion P14. The cut line C124 on the back side is formed by a perforation line between the back side ends of the cut lines C122, C123 on the left and right sides, close to and parallel to the folding line L4 between the back surface shape portion P14 and the connecting surface shape portion P15.

[0025] In addition, this packaging sheet S1 is provided with a folding guide line F and a partial folding guide line F1.

[0026] The folding guide line F includes the folding lines that form the corners of the box B1, and in the case of this box B1, the folding line L3 between the top surface shape portion P13 and the back surface shape portion P14 is used as the folding guide line F. In this case, the folding guide line F consists of the folding line L3.

[0027] The partial folding guide line F1 is a folding line formed obliquely between the edges of both ends in the longitudinal direction of the two faces S1A, S1B or a part of them of the packaging sheet S1 and the side edges of the two faces S1A, S12 or a part of them. Here, of the two faces S1A, S12 of the packaging sheet S1, one face on the top side is designated as S1A, and the other face on the back side is designated as S1B. In this case, the partial folding guide line F1 is formed by a folding line obliquely between positions close to the folding guide lines F on both left and right end edges on both left and right end sides of the other face S1B on the back side of the box B1 and positions near both ends on the cut lines C124 that form the side edges of the other face S1B.

[0028] Various information regarding pharmaceuticals is printed on the four side surface portions P11-P14 and the left and right lid portion P21, P22 of this blank sheet P1, and information that is particularly useful to medical institutions is written in the packaging sheet S1 of the three side surface portions where the front surface portion P12, top surface portion P13, and back surface portion P14 are connected.

[0029] In this way, the front side of the connecting surface portion P15 of the blank sheet P1 is aligned with the back side of the bottom surface portion P11 and glued together, and the blank sheet P1 is folded flat so that it can be assembled into a box B1. Then, in the packaging process for the pharmaceutical pack, the unassembled box B1 is erected into a box shape, and the left and right openings of the box B1 are sealed by the left and right lids 21 and 22 via the left flaps 16 and 18 and the right flaps 17 and 19. In this case, the insertion pieces 211 and 221 of the lids 21 and 22 are inserted into the inside of the front plate 12 and glued in place.

[0030] The packaging box B1 is constructed in this manner, and when the box B1 is assembled, the medicine pack is packaged in the box B1, and the medicine is supplied to a pharmacy or a medical institution. In the pharmacy or medical institution, the medicine packaged in the packaging box B1 is stored in the box B1.

[0031] In addition, in the case of this packaging box B1, instead of storing in the box B1, it can be wrapped in a packaging sheet S1 and stored. In this case, the convex part S11 on one side of the packaging sheet S1 is pressed in with, for example, a thumb to separate it, and while pushing the back side of one surface S1A of the packaging sheet S1 outward with this convex part S11, the packaging sheet S1 is cut along the cut line C1 (rectangular cut line C12) consisting of a zipper line and a perforation line. The cut packaging sheet S1 is folded into a U-shaped cross section using the folding lines L2 and L3, and all the PTP sheets are inserted into it. In this case, a rubber band is put on top of the packaging sheet S1 to bind the whole. In this way, all the PTP sheets can be wrapped in the packaging sheet S1 and stored on a storage shelf or the like. As a result, even if multiple PTP sheets are taken out of the box B1, they are stored in an orderly manner without being scattered on a storage shelf, etc., and when using a medicine packaged in a PTP sheet, it is easier to take them out compared to taking the PTP sheet out of the box B1. In particular, handling is easier for medicines that are taken out frequently. Even when storing medicines in this way, information about the medicine is displayed on the packaging sheet S1, so the information about the medicine can be confirmed from this packaging sheet S1.

[0032] When storing PTP sheet-packaged medicines in a box B1, the number of PTP sheets in the box B1 decreases as the medicine is used, the volume of the PTP sheets gradually decreases, and the overall size and shape become smaller. Then, the remaining PTP sheets become one or two sheets (one or two pieces), or the last sheet is partially cut off, leaving four tablets, two tablets, or one tablet. If this nearly empty box B1 is placed on a storage shelf, it is a waste of space, and it is preferable to place a new unopened box filled with medicines instead of this nearly empty box B1 in terms of effective use of space. In such a case, with this packaging box B1, the remaining medicines can be removed from the box B1, and the packaging sheet S1 can be cut from the three sides of the front 12, top 13, and back 14 of the box B1 as shown in Figure 3, and the remaining medicines can be packaged in this packaging sheet S1 according to their size and shape for storage. The packaging sheet S1 of this box B can be converted into a shape suitable for storing the remaining pharmaceuticals by using the folding guide lines F and partial folding guide lines F1.

[0033] In this case, the convex portion S11 on one side of the packaging sheet S1 is pressed in with, for example, a thumb to separate it, and while this convex portion S11 is in this state pushing the back side of one surface S1A of the packaging sheet S1 outward, the packaging sheet S1 is cut along the cut line C1 consisting of the zipper line and the perforation line. The cut packaging sheet S1 is folded in two (two surfaces S1A, S1B) at the folding line F as shown in FIG. 4. In this way, one or two sheets (1 or 2 sheets) of PTP sheets can be sandwiched between the two surfaces S1A, S1B. In this case, the edges on both sides of the two surfaces S1A, S1B of the packaging sheet S1 are opened, and one or two sheets of PTP sheets are inserted between the two surfaces S1A, S1B. In this way, the locking claw S111 formed on the convex portion S11 at the center of one side edge of one surface S1 on the top side is raised toward the side edge of the other surface S2 on the back side and locked at the center of the side edge, thereby fixing both side edges of the two surfaces S1A and S1B. By engaging and fixing the two surfaces S1A and S1B with this locking claw S111, one or two PTP sheets inserted between the two surfaces S1A and S1B are securely sandwiched and held between the two surfaces S1A and S1B, and can be stored in an orderly manner without being disorganized. In addition, both sides of the one or two PTP sheets are protected by the two surfaces S1A and S1B of the packaging sheet S1, so that the aluminum surface of the PTP sheet and the GS1 code printed on the aluminum surface can be securely protected. In this way, one or two sheets worth of PTP sheets are stored compactly in a thin packaging sheet S1 that matches their overall size and shape, so they can be placed stably in a small space such as a storage shelf or drawer without getting in the way of other medicine boxes. Furthermore, when removing the PTP sheet from this packaging sheet S1, simply lift the locking claw S111 on one side S1A of the packaging sheet S1 from the other side S1B to easily remove it from the other side S1B, so the PTP sheet can be easily removed from between the two sides S1A and S1B. Furthermore, even in this case, information about the medicine can be confirmed from the packaging sheet S1 while the medicine is being stored.

[0034] When the last PTP sheet stored in this packaging sheet S1 is partially cut off with use, leaving 4, 2, or 1 tablets, the overall size becomes smaller and there is a risk that the tablets may fall out from the edge between the two sides S1A and S1B, making it difficult to securely hold them between the two sides S1A and S1B of this packaging sheet S1. Therefore, when only a few tablets remain, the packaging form of the pharmaceutical in this packaging sheet S1 can be changed to match the overall size and shape of the tablets.

[0035] In this case, as shown in Fig. 5, at the partial folding lines F1 on both ends of one side S1B of the packaging sheet S1, a portion of both ends is folded inward (towards the back surface) toward the other end. In this case, each partial folding line F1 is formed obliquely between each edge of both ends of the other side S1B in the longitudinal direction and the side edge of the other side S1B, so that a portion of both ends forms a triangle and faces the back surface of the other side S1B. As a result, both ends of the two sides S1A and S1B can be closed by a portion of the triangle at both ends of the other side S1B. The remaining 4, 2 or 1 tablet of the last PTP sheet can be placed between the two sides S1A and S1B of this packaging sheet S1 in the space closed by both ends of the other side S1B. In this way, as shown in Fig. 6, the locking claw S111 at the center of the side edge of one surface S1A is raised toward the side edge of the other surface S1B and locked at the center of the side edge, thereby fixing both side edges of the two surfaces S1A and S1B. By this locking claw S111 engaging and fixing the two surfaces S1A and S1B, the remaining 4, 2 or 1 tablet of medicine placed in the space closed at both ends between the two surfaces S1A and S1B is securely held in this space and can be stored orderly without being scattered. In this way, the remaining 4, 2 or 1 tablet of medicine can be stored compactly in a thin and small packaging sheet S1 that matches the overall size and shape, so that it can be placed stably in a small space such as a storage shelf or drawer without getting in the way of other medicine boxes. When removing the remaining medicine from the packaging sheet S1, the locking claws S111 on one side S1A of the packaging sheet S can be easily removed from the other side S1B by simply lifting them from the other side S1B, so that the remaining medicine can be easily removed from between the two sides S1A and S1B. Even in this case, information about the medicine can be confirmed from the packaging sheet S1 while the medicine is being stored.

[0036] As described above, with this packaging box B1 with packaging sheet, the PTP sheets remaining in the box B1 can be easily packaged and stored by changing the packaging form to suit their size and shape, from a single sheet (one piece) to a portion of a sheet (one piece) in units of one tablet.

[0037] Moreover, this packaging box B1 has the following distinct advantages that are unique to this box B1. (1) Various information about the pharmaceutical product is displayed on the surface of the packaging sheet S1. Therefore, even if the packaging form of the packaging sheet S1 is changed according to the size and shape of the pharmaceutical product, various information about the pharmaceutical product can be confirmed on this packaging sheet S1. (2) The folding guide line F includes the folding line that forms with the corner of the box B1 and can be utilized. Therefore, no processing is required for the folding guide line F, and a packaging form suitable for packaging one sheet of PTP sheet-packaged pharmaceuticals can be realized with a simple structure and at low cost. (3) The partial folding guide line F1 is formed obliquely between the edges of both ends of the other surface S1B in the longitudinal direction of the two surfaces S1A, S1B and the side edge of the other surface S1B, so that a packaging form suitable for packaging single tablets of PTP sheet-packaged pharmaceuticals can be realized with a simple structure and at low cost. (4) A convex cut line C11 is formed at one end of the cut line C1, one end of the packaging sheet S1 has a convex portion S11, and a cut-and-raise line C113 is formed in the convex portion S11 so that the other end side can be cut and raised relative to one end side of the packaging sheet S1 side of the convex portion S11, and the other end side is formed as a locking claw S111.By engaging and disengaging the locking claw S111 with the side edge side of the other surface S2, the space between the two surfaces S1A and S1B can be easily opened and closed, and PTP sheet-packaged medicines can be easily inserted and removed from the packaging sheet S1.

[0038] 7 and 8 show the second embodiment. In this embodiment, the overall configuration of the packaging box B2 with packaging sheet (hereinafter, sometimes simply referred to as packaging box B2 or box B2) is the same as in the first embodiment, but the configuration of the packaging sheet S2 is partially different from that of the first embodiment, particularly the locking type between the two faces S2A and S2B and the partial folding guide line F2. In this embodiment, the components common to the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals as in the first embodiment and their explanations are simplified, and the components different from the first embodiment are given new reference numerals different from those in the first embodiment and their explanations are added.

[0039] In this packaging box B2, the packaging sheet S2 is provided with a folding guide line F that allows the entire sheet to be folded into two faces S2A, S2B, and a partial folding guide line F2 that allows a portion of each end side of each face or one of the faces folded into the two faces S2A, S2B by the folding line F to be folded toward the other end, and this packaging sheet S2 is adapted to wrap the remaining portion of the PTP sheet that is reduced due to use (consumption) of the PTP sheet-packaged medicine according to the size and shape of the remaining portion of the PTP sheet.

[0040] In addition, in this packaging box B2, the packaging sheet S2 can be used as a sheet for displaying information or as a sheet for both displaying information and packaging by displaying various information about the pharmaceutical product on the surface thereof. In this embodiment, the latter is used.

[0041] As shown in FIG. 8, this box B2 is made from a single blank sheet P2 formed as a single unit by punching out paperboard. This blank sheet P2 is folded in order and assembled by gluing and fixing each of the designated bonding positions with glue.

[0042] This blank sheet P2 has the same basic structural components as the blank sheet P1 of the first embodiment, and so a description thereof will be omitted here.

[0043] In this blank sheet P2, a cut line C2 is formed across three adjacent side surface portions of the box B2, namely, the front surface portion P12 forming the front surface 12, the top surface portion P13 forming the top surface 13, and the back surface portion P14 forming the back surface 14, with one side having a convex shape, a trapezoidal shape, and from this one side to the other side in a rectangular shape of a size capable of wrapping a medicine, and is composed of a convex cut line C21 and a rectangular cut line C22, so that a packaging sheet S2 is formed that can be easily wrapped around the medicine after the box B2 is opened and that displays various information about the medicine packaged in the box B2. In addition, in the case of this box B2, a convex-shaped cut line C21 is formed on one side of the cut line C2, a convex-shaped locking portion S211 is formed on one side of the packaging sheet S2, and an engagement portion S210 consisting of a cut line into which the locking portion S211 can be inserted and locked on the other side of the packaging sheet S2.

[0044] In this case, the convex cut line C21 is formed by a semi-track field-shaped intermittent cut line at the center of the bottom surface portion P11 side of the front surface portion P12, away from the center of the folding line L2 between the front surface portion P12 and the top surface portion P13 of the box B2. A trapezoidal cut line C21G is formed by a zipper line from both ends of this convex cut line C21 to the other side in the center of the front surface portion P12, and this cut line C21G is continuous with a rectangular cut line C22. A part surrounded by this convex cut line C21 forms the locking portion S211, and a part surrounded by this trapezoidal cut line C21G forms the folded-back portion S212. A fold line f is formed in parallel to the fold line L2 of the box B2 at a portion of the fold portion S212 that corresponds to the lower base of the trapezoid so that the fold portion S212 can be folded toward the back side of the packaging sheet S2.

[0045] In this case, the rectangular cut line C22 continues to each end of the trapezoidal cut line C21G on one side at a position closer to the top surface portion P13 in the front surface portion P12, and is made up of a cut line C222 on one side of the left side, a cut line C223 on one side of the right side, and a cut line C224 on one side of the back surface portion. The cut line C222 on the left side is formed by a perforation line continuing from the left end of the trapezoidal cut line C21G and parallel to the left edge of the front surface portion P12, the top surface portion P13, and the back surface portion P14 on the inside of the left edge of the front surface portion P12, the top surface portion P13, and the back surface portion P14. The cut line C223 on the right side is formed by a perforation line continuing from the right end of the trapezoidal cut line C21G and parallel to the right edge of the front surface portion P12, the top surface portion P13, and the back surface portion P14 on the inside of the right edge of the front surface portion P12, the top surface portion P13, and the back surface portion P14. The cut line C224 on one side on the rear surface side is formed by a perforation line between the rear surface ends of the cut lines C222, C223 on the left and right sides on the folding line L4 between the rear surface portion P14 and the connecting surface portion P15.

[0046] In addition, this packaging sheet S2 is provided with a folding guide line F and a partial folding guide line F2.

[0047] The folding guide line F includes the folding lines that form the corners of the box B2, and in the case of this box B2, as in the first embodiment, the folding line L3 between the top surface shape portion P13 and the back surface shape portion P14 is used as the folding guide line F. In this case, the folding guide line F is the folding line L3.

[0048] The partial folding guide line F2 consists of a cut line F21 formed in parallel to the folding guide line F at both ends in the length direction of one of the two faces S2A, S2B, and a plurality of folding lines F22 formed in parallel between this cut line F21 and the side edge of one of the two faces S2A, S2B. In this case, the partial folding guide line F2 consists of a cut line F21 formed by a perforation line parallel to the folding guide line F from positions close to the folding guide line F on the edges of both ends on both left and right ends of the other face S2B on the back side of the box B2, and two folding lines F22 formed at right angles from the middle part and the inner end of this cut line F21 toward the side edges of the other face S2B on the back side. Between these partial bending lines F2, a cut is formed on the side of the back surface portion P14 on the connecting surface portion P15 side, substantially parallel to said side, and this cut forms an engaging portion S210 for the locking portion S211 on one side.

[0049] In this way, the front side of the connecting portion P15 of the blank sheet P2 is aligned with the back side of the bottom portion P11 and glued together, and the blank sheet P2 is folded flat so that it can be assembled into a box B2. Then, in the packaging process for the pharmaceutical pack, the unassembled box B2 is erected into a box shape, and the left and right openings of the box B2 are sealed by the lid portions P21 and P22 via the pairs of flap portions P16, P17, P18, and P19.

[0050] The packaging box B2 is constructed in this manner, and when the box B2 is assembled, the medicine packs are packaged in the box B2 and supplied to a pharmacy or medical institution. In the pharmacy or medical institution, the medicines packaged in the packaging box B2 are stored in the box B2.

[0051] In addition, even in the case of this packaging box B2, instead of storing the medicine pack in the box B2, the medicine pack can be wrapped in a packaging sheet S2 and stored, which is similar to the first embodiment.

[0052] When storing pharmaceuticals in box B2, the number of PTP sheets in box B2 decreases each time a PTP sheet-packaged pharmaceutical is used, the volume of the PTP sheets gradually decreases, and the overall size and shape become smaller. Then, when there are only one or two PTP sheets remaining, the remaining pharmaceuticals can be removed from this packaging box B2, and as shown in Figure 9, packaging sheet S2 can be cut from three sides of box B2, the front 12, top 13, and back 14, and the remaining PTP sheets can be packaged in this packaging sheet S2 to match their size and shape for storage. The packaging form of the pharmaceuticals can be changed using the folding guide line F and partial folding guide line F2 for the packaging sheet S2 of box B2.

[0053] In this case, the engaging portion S211 on one side of the packaging sheet S2 is pressed with, for example, a thumb to separate it, and the packaging sheet S2 is cut along the cut line C2 consisting of the zipper line and the perforation line while pushing the back side of the folded-back portion S212 outward with the engaging portion S211. Then, the cut-out packaging sheet S2 is folded in two (two faces S2A, S2B) at the folding line F. In this way, one or two sheets of PTP sheets can be sandwiched between the two faces S2A, S2B. In this case, the two side edges of the two faces S2A, S2B of the packaging sheet S2 are opened, and one or two sheets of PTP sheets are inserted between the two faces S2A, S2B. In this way, the folded-back portion S212 on one side is folded back around the folding line f as shown in FIG. 10. Then, by inserting the locking portion S211 on one side into the engaging portion S210 on the other side, the locking portion S211 and the engaging portion S210 are engaged to fix both side edges of the two surfaces S2A, S2B. By engaging and fixing the two surfaces S2A, S2B with the locking portion S211 and the engaging portion S210, one or two PTP sheets inserted between the two surfaces S2A, S2B are securely sandwiched and held between the two surfaces S2A, S2B, and are stored in an orderly manner without being disorganized. In addition, both sides of the one or two PTP sheets are protected by the two surfaces S2A, S2B of the packaging sheet S2, so that the aluminum surface of the PTP sheet and the GS1 code printed on the aluminum surface can be securely protected. In this way, one or two PTP sheets are stored compactly in a thin packaging sheet S2 that matches the overall size and shape, so they can be placed stably in a small space such as a storage shelf or drawer without getting in the way of other pharmaceutical boxes. Furthermore, when removing the PTP sheet from this packaging sheet S2, simply pull out the locking portion S211 on one side S2A of the packaging sheet S2 from the engaging portion S210 on the other side S2B, and it will easily come off from the other side S2B, so the PTP sheet can be easily removed from between the two sides S2A and S2B. Furthermore, even in this case, information about the pharmaceutical can be confirmed from the packaging sheet S2 while the pharmaceutical is being stored.

[0054] When the last PTP sheet stored in this packaging sheet S2 is partially cut off and only 4 tablets, 2 tablets, or 1 tablet remain, the small overall size may cause them to fall out from the edge between the two surfaces S2A and S2B, making it difficult to securely hold them between the two surfaces S2A and S2B of this packaging sheet S2. Therefore, when there are only a few tablets left, it is desirable to change the pharmaceutical packaging form to match the overall size and shape.

[0055] In this case, as shown in Fig. 11 and Fig. 12, at the partial folding lines F2 at both ends of the other surface S2B of the packaging sheet S2, a part of both ends is folded back inward (towards the back surface) toward the other end. In this case, each partial folding line F2 is formed perpendicular to the folding line F, so that a part of both ends forms a rectangle and faces the back surface of the other surface S2B. As a result, both ends of the two surfaces S2A and S2B can be closed by parts of the rectangle at both ends of the other surface S2B. The remaining four tablets or one or two tablets of the last PTP sheet are packaged in a space between the two surfaces S2A and S2B of this packaging sheet S2, both ends of which are closed by parts of both ends of the other surface S2B. In addition, in this case, the partial folding line F2 has a folding line F22 at the middle part and a folding line F22 at the inner end, so that by selectively using this, the length of the space between the two surfaces S2A and S2B can be adjusted according to the number of remaining medicines. That is, by folding at the folding line F22 in the middle, the space between the two faces S2A and S2B can be made slightly larger to accommodate, for example, four tablets of medicine, and by folding at the folding line F22 at the inner edge, the space between the two faces S2A and S2B can be made smaller to accommodate, for example, one or two tablets of medicine. In this way, as described above, the side edges of the two faces S2A and S2B are fixed by inserting and engaging the locking portion S211 at the center of one side of one face S2A into the locking portion S210 on the other side of the other face S2B. By engaging and fixing the two faces S2A and S2B with the locking portion S211 and the locking portion S210, four tablets or one or two tablets of medicine placed in the space closed at both ends between the two faces S2A and S2B are securely held in this space and stored in an orderly manner without being scattered. In this way, four, two or one tablet of medicine is stored compactly in a thin and small packaging sheet S2 that matches the overall size and shape, so it can be placed stably in a small space such as a storage shelf or drawer without getting in the way of other medicine boxes. Moreover, when removing the PTP sheet from the packaging sheet S2, simply by pulling the locking portion S211 on one surface S2A of the packaging sheet S2 out of the engaging portion S210 on the other surface S2B, it easily comes out of the engaging portion S210 on the other surface S2B, so that four tablets, or one or two tablets of medicine can be easily removed from between the two surfaces S2A and S2B.Furthermore, even in this case, information about the medicine can be confirmed from the packaging sheet S2 during storage of the medicine.

[0056] This method can achieve the same effect as the first embodiment, and furthermore, when the last PTP sheet is partially cut off, leaving only a few tablets, the medicine can be packaged in a different packaging form according to the number of tablets.

[0057] Furthermore, the packaging box B2 has the following distinct advantages that are unique to this box B2. (1) The partial folding guide line F2 consists of a cut line F21 formed in parallel close to the folding guide line F at both ends of the other face S2B of the two faces S2A, S2B in the longitudinal direction, and a plurality of folding lines F21, F22 formed in parallel between the cut line F21 and the side edge of the other face S2B. Therefore, the length of the space between the two faces S2A, S2B can be adjusted. By folding a portion of each end of the other face S2B at the folding line F21 in the middle, the space between the two faces S2A, S2B becomes larger, making it suitable for packaging, for example, four tablets of a medicine, and by folding at the folding line F22 at the inner end, the space between the two faces S2A, S2B becomes smaller, making it suitable for storing, for example, one or two tablets of a medicine. (2) A convex cut line C21 is formed on one side of the cut line C2, and the packaging sheet S2 has a convex engagement portion S211 on one side. A cut line is formed on the other side of the packaging sheet S2 so that the engagement portion S211 can be inserted and engaged, and the packaging sheet S2 has an engagement portion S210 on the other side. Therefore, by engaging and disengaging the engagement portion S211 and the engagement portion S210, the space between the two surfaces S2A and S2B can be easily opened and closed, and PTP sheet-packaged medicines can be easily inserted and removed from the packaging sheet S2.

[0058] In the first and second embodiments, the packaging sheets S1 and S2 are provided with folding guide lines F so that the entire sheet can be folded into two faces, but the packaging sheets S1 and S2 may be provided with a plurality of folding guide lines so that the sheet can be folded into three or more faces. Even in this case, a partial folding guide line may be provided on both ends or one end of each face or part of each face folded into three or more faces, so that a part of the both ends or a part of the one end can be folded toward the other end, and the packaging sheet may be adapted to package the remaining part of the PTP sheet according to the size and shape of the remaining part of the PTP sheet that is reduced as the PTP sheet-packaged medicine is used. In addition, in the first and second embodiments, partial folding guide lines F1, F2 are provided at both longitudinal ends of one of the two faces of the packaging sheets S1, S2 so that a portion of the both ends can be folded toward the other end. However, even in the case of two faces or three or more faces, partial folding guide lines may be provided at both longitudinal ends or one end of each face or some of each face so that a portion of the both ends or a portion of the one end can be folded toward the other end. Even in this case, the same effects as those of the above-described embodiments can be achieved.

[0059] In the first and second embodiments, the folding guide line F utilizes the folding line L3 formed by the corners of the boxes B1 and B2, but this folding guide line may be provided separately from the folding line formed by the corners of the boxes. Even in this case, the same effects as those of the above-described embodiments can be achieved.

[0060] In the first embodiment, the partial folding guide line F1 is formed as a folding line formed obliquely between the edge portions (cut lines C122, C123) on both ends in the length direction and the side edge (C124) on one of the two faces S1A and S1B (in this case, the other face S1B), but even in the case of two faces or three or more faces, this partial folding guide line may be formed obliquely between the edge portions on both ends or one end in the length direction of each face or some of the faces and the side edge of each face or some of the faces. Even in this case, the same effects as those of the above-described embodiments can be achieved.

[0061] In the second embodiment, the partial folding guide line F2 consists of each cut line F21 formed in parallel close to the folding guide line F at both longitudinal ends of one of the two faces S2A, S2B, in this case the other face S2B, and a plurality of folding lines F22 formed in parallel between each cut line F21 and the side edge (cut line C224) of the other face S2B. However, in the case of two faces or three or more faces, this partial folding guide line may also consist of a cut line formed in parallel on or close to the folding guide line at both longitudinal ends or one end of each face or part of a face, and a plurality of folding lines formed in parallel between the cut line and the side edge of each face or part of a face. Even in this case, the same effects as those of the above-described embodiments can be achieved.

[0062] In the second embodiment, the partial folding guide line F2 consists of each cut line F21 formed in parallel close to the folding guide line F at both longitudinal ends of one of the two faces S2A, S2B, in this case the other face S2B, and a plurality of folding lines F22 formed in parallel between each cut line F21 and the side edge (cut line C224) of the other face S2B. However, in the case of two faces or three or more faces, this partial folding guide line may consist only of cut lines formed in parallel on or close to the folding guide line at both longitudinal ends or one end of each face or part of a face, and folding lines formed between the inner ends of the cut lines and the side edge of each face or part of a face. Even in this case, the same effects as those of the above-described embodiments can be achieved.

[0063] In the first embodiment, a convex cut line C11 is formed on one side of the cut line C1, and the packaging sheet S1 has a convex portion S11 on one side, and a cut-and-raise line C113 is formed in the convex portion S11 so that the other side can be cut and raised relative to one side of the packaging sheet S1 side of the convex portion S11, and the other side forms the locking claw S111. In the second embodiment, a convex cut line C21 is formed on one side of the cut line C2, and the packaging sheet S2 has a locking portion S211 on one side, and the packaging sheet S2 has an engagement portion S210 consisting of a cut line into which the locking portion S211 can be inserted and locked on the other side of the packaging sheet S2. However, in the first embodiment, instead of the locking claw, the locking portion and engagement portion of the second embodiment may be provided, and in the second embodiment, instead of the locking portion and engagement portion, the locking claw of the first embodiment may be provided. Even in this case, the same effects as those of the above-described embodiments can be achieved.

[0064] In the first and second embodiments, a packaging box with a packaging sheet used for packaging pharmaceuticals in PTP sheet packaging is given as an example, however, this packaging box is not limited to pharmaceuticals and can be similarly applied to various items that, like pharmaceuticals, are removed from the box and reduced or reduced in size each time they are used, and can achieve the same effects.
