Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a packaging body suitable for use in packaging paper products such as tissue paper. [Background technology]

[0002] Soft packs of tissues have been sold for some time and are convenient to carry around (see Patent Document 1). Among them, high-quality lotion tissues are sold in caramel-flavored packaging. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2022-038229 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Caramel packaging has a good shape (in other words, appearance) of the package. In addition, since the shape is easily maintained, it is difficult to collapse even if the amount of contents is reduced.

[0005] On the other hand, caramel packaging is difficult. Specifically, unless the height of the tissue paper stack is relatively constant, the heat seal during packaging (specifically, sealing) is not stable. For this reason, defective products are often produced during packaging depending on the original roll due to the difference in the height of the stack between the top and bottom rolls of the original roll.

[0006] In addition, while pillow packaging is easy to use, the shape of the package (in other words, the appearance) is poor. In contrast, when a tube-type film is used, packaging is easy and the shape of the package is good.

[0007] However, in the case of lotion tissue paper, where the tissue paper laminate is soft and slippery, the shape of the package is poor, and when both ends of the tube bag are heat-sealed, it is difficult to fold the gusset in. On the other hand, if the rigidity of the film is made soft to make it easier to fold the gusset in, there is a problem that the film loses firmness and the shape is poor.

[0008] Furthermore, if the distance between the longitudinal end of the tissue paper laminate and the heat-sealed portion is too short, it is difficult to fold the gusset in. On the other hand, if the distance is too long, the gusset can be easily folded in, but the contents tend to move around, causing wrinkles and creases in the tissue paper.

[0009] For this reason, in a package in which lotion paper tissue is gusset-packaged in a tube-type film, with the longitudinal dimension of the tissue paper laminate, the distance between the longitudinal end of the tissue paper laminate and the heat-sealed part of the film, and the number of sets of the tissue paper laminate within a given range, a package that has excellent shape, is easy to fold the gusset, and is less likely to cause wrinkling or folding of the tissue paper inside is desired.

[0010] Therefore, in one aspect, the present invention aims to provide a technique capable of improving morphology, operability, and cosmetic properties. [Means for solving the problem]

[0011] In order to solve the above problems, the packaging body of the present invention is a packaging body in which a packaged item is covered with a packaging base material, the packaging base material being a tubular film, the packaged item being a laminate of tissue papers impregnated with a medicinal solution, the laminate being gusset-packaged with the tubular film, the bending resistance in the MD direction of the tubular film being 2 [mN / 10 sheets] or more and 25 [mN / 10 sheets] or less, a seal portion is formed at each of both end portions in the MD direction of the tubular film, the difference between the dimension between the seal portions and the longitudinal dimension of the laminate is 10 mm or more and 60 mm or less, and the number of sets of the tissue papers constituting the laminate is 160 sets or more and 320 sets or less.

[0012] In the package according to the present invention, the gusset in the gusset package may have a folded width of 20 mm or more and 60 mm or less.

[0013] The package according to the present invention may be configured so that the dimension between the sealed portions is 150 mm or more and 230 mm or less.

[0014] In the packaging body according to the present invention, the tubular film may have a multi-layer structure.

[0015] The packaging body according to the present invention has a basis weight of the tubular film of 32 g / m 2 More than 90g / m 2 The following may be adopted.

[0016] In the package according to the present invention, the tubular film may have a thickness of 35 μm or more and 100 μm or less.

[0017] In the package according to the present invention, the longitudinal dimension of the laminate may be 140 mm or more and 220 mm or less.

[0018] In the package according to the present invention, the height of the laminate may be 40 mm or more and 100 mm or less.

[0019] The package according to the present invention may be configured such that the content of the liquid medicine is 10% by weight or more and 22% by weight or less of the total amount of the tissue paper.

[0020] The packaging body according to the present invention may be configured such that the tissue paper is V-folded.

[0021] In the packaging body according to the present invention, the packaging base material may have an ash content of 1.5% or more and 12% or less. Effect of the Invention

[0022] According to one aspect of the present invention, it is possible to improve the shape, operability, and cosmetic properties. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0024] Hereinafter, the embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that the following embodiments are presented for illustrative purposes, and the configuration of the present invention is not limited to the contents of the following embodiments. Also, each figure is a schematic diagram for explaining the configuration of the present invention, and does not strictly define the dimensional relationship between members and each part.

[0025] In the description of the present invention, the MD direction means the direction of the production line during the manufacture of the package (in other words, the conveying direction; also referred to as the "flow direction"), and the CD direction means the direction perpendicular to the direction of the production line during the manufacture of the package (i.e., the MD direction). Note that the relationship between the orientation of the package 1 (including the packaging substrate 10 and the laminate 11) and the MD and CD directions in each drawing is merely an example for explaining the embodiment of the present invention, and the relationship between the orientation of the package 1 (including the packaging substrate 10 and the laminate 11) and the MD and CD directions in the actual manufacturing process is not limited to the relationship in each drawing.

[0026] (Overall composition) FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an example of a packaging body 1 according to an embodiment in a state in which an article to be packaged is packaged, as an example of a specific configuration of the packaging body according to the present invention.

[0027] The packaging body 1 in the embodiment is a packaging body in which the packaged item is covered with a packaging base material 10, the packaging base material 10 being a tubular film, the packaged item being a laminate 11 of tissue paper impregnated with a medicinal solution, the laminate 11 being gusset-packaged by the tubular film, and a seal portion 13 being formed at each of both ends in the MD direction of the tubular film.

[0028] The packaging body 1 is particularly suitable for packaging soft paper products such as tissue paper. The item to be packaged in the packaging body 1 is specifically a tissue paper laminate 11 in which tissue papers impregnated with a drug solution are laminated, and in the explanation of this invention, this is also referred to as a "tissue paper laminate 11."

[0029] The chemical liquid to be impregnated into the tissue paper is not limited to a specific type, but may include, for example, lotion or alcohol, which is typically used to impregnate general-purpose wet tissue. The lotion-based chemical liquid preferably contains glycerin and silicone, and the silicone is more preferably amino-modified silicone. When the lotion-based chemical liquid contains the above-mentioned compound, the tissue paper laminate 11 becomes smooth, and the tissue paper laminate 11 is less likely to wrinkle or fold during packaging. The alcohol-based chemical liquid is mainly composed of an alcohol aqueous solution such as ethanol, and polyhydric alcohols may be blended in combination with the alcohol component to prevent the tissue paper from drying. In addition, emulsifiers, thickeners, pH adjusters, surfactants, stabilizers, discoloration inhibitors, fragrances, and colorants may be appropriately blended.

[0030] The packaging body 1 in the embodiment has a packaging base material 10 covering a tissue paper laminate 11, and both ends in the MD direction of the packaging base material 10 are folded as gussets 12, and then sealed by forming seal portions 13.

[0031] In gusset packaging, the packaging base material 10 is fed out from a roll of raw material around which the packaging base material 10 is wound, and cut according to the length of the bag in the MD direction (in other words, the height). Then, a gusset 12 is formed at one end in the MD direction, the edges are closed, and a seal part 13 is formed and joined (in other words, sealed) in a horizontal line along the width direction (specifically, the CD direction) by heat sealing or the like, to produce a bag with only the other end in the MD direction open. The other end in the MD direction of the bag is opened to form an insertion opening 16, and as shown in FIG. 2, the packaged item (specifically, the tissue paper laminate 11) is inserted into the inside of the packaging base material 10 from the insertion opening 16, and a gusset 12 is formed at the end on the insertion opening 16 side, the edges are closed, and a seal part 13 is formed and joined (in other words, sealed) in a horizontal line along the width direction (specifically, the CD direction) by heat sealing or the like.

[0032] The packaging substrate 10 may be wound in a rolled form with a pair of mountain folds and a valley fold between the pair of mountain folds formed on each of two mutually opposing side surfaces in the CD direction of the tubular packaging substrate 10, and these two side surfaces folded inwardly (see FIG. 3). In this case, the mountain folds and the valley folds may have lines, and creases may be made along the lines.

[0033] The packaging body 1 preferably has an opening (not shown) for removing the tissue paper that constitutes the tissue paper laminate 11. This opening is preferably provided by forming a tear line such as a perforation in the packaging base material 10 so that the opening can be opened by cutting along the tear line when in use. The tear line may be, for example, a single perforated line.

[0034] The gusset 12 is formed at each of both end portions in the MD direction of the packaging base material 10.

[0035] FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the gusset 12, specifically, a cross-sectional view perpendicular to the MD direction at a position near the sealed portion 13 (that is, a vertical cross-sectional view).

[0036] The gusset 12 is formed by making valley folds on both sides in the CD direction of the tubular packaging base material 10 and folding them symmetrically inward.

[0037] The dimension W of the part of the gusset 12 that is folded inwardly is the folded width of the gusset 12.

[0038] Although the fold width of the gusset 12 is not limited to a specific value, the lower limit is preferably 20 mm or more, more preferably 25 mm or more, and even more preferably 30 mm or more, and the upper limit is preferably 60 mm or less, more preferably 50 mm or less, and even more preferably 40 mm or less.

[0039] If the fold width of the gusset 12 is less than 20 mm, the packaging base material 10 is too tight against the tissue paper laminate 11, making the tissue paper more likely to wrinkle or fold, resulting in a decrease in aesthetic appeal. On the other hand, if the fold width of the gusset 12 is more than 60 mm, the shape of the package 1 is reduced.

[0040] The tightness refers to the degree of strength with which the packaging base material 10 envelops (and stably supports) the tissue paper laminate 11. The formability refers to the degree of the appearance or good looks of the packaging body 1.

[0041] The sealed portions 13 are formed on both ends in the MD direction of the packaging substrate 10, and are generally linear band-like along the CD direction, and are generally parallel to each other. The sealed portions 13 are provided so as to seal the packaging substrate 10, which is folded flat by the gusset 12 at the ends in the MD direction of the packaging substrate 10, with a seal layer (e.g., a heat seal layer).

[0042] The dimension between the seal portions 13 formed at both ends of the packaging substrate 10 in the MD direction is not limited to a specific value, but the lower limit is preferably 150 mm or more, more preferably 170 mm or more, and even more preferably 190 mm or more, and the upper limit is preferably 230 mm or less, more preferably 220 mm or less, and even more preferably 210 mm or less. The dimension between the seal portions 13 in the description of the present invention is the dimension when the tissue paper laminate 11 is inserted into the packaging substrate 10 and the packaging substrate 10 packages the tissue paper laminate 11. The dimension between the seal portions 13 is also referred to as the "dimension C between the seal portions." The measurement may be performed by pinching the center of one of the sealed portions 13 in the longitudinal direction (CD direction of the packaging substrate 10) with one hand, lifting up the entire packaging substrate 10 (at this time, the tissue paper laminate 11 in the packaging substrate 10 will lower by its own weight to the other, i.e., the lower sealed portion 13 in the lifted state, causing the packaging substrate 10 to be in a taut state), and measuring the distance from one sealed portion 13 to the other sealed portion 13 with a ruler. Measurement may also be performed at the ends of the sealed portions 13, and the average of the values ​​at both ends (i.e., two points) may be used as the dimension between the sealed portions 13.

[0043] If the distance between the sealed portions 13 is less than 150 mm, the packaging base material 10 is too tight against the tissue paper laminate 11, making the tissue paper more likely to wrinkle or fold, and reducing the aesthetic appeal. On the other hand, if the distance between the sealed portions 13 is more than 230 mm, the packaging base material 10 is less tight against the tissue paper laminate 11, and the tissue paper laminate 11 becomes unstable and shifts inside the packaging base material 10, making the tissue paper more likely to wrinkle or fold, and reducing the aesthetic appeal.

[0044] (Packaging base material) The packaging substrate 10 includes at least a film substrate. It is preferable that the packaging substrate 10 does not include a paper substrate. The packaging substrate 10 may be printed, and in that case, it is preferable that the printed surface is laminated. The basis weight value described below is a value including the printing ink.

[0045] The packaging substrate 10 preferably contains 90% by weight or more, more preferably 95% by weight or more, of the film substrate. More preferably, the packaging substrate 10 contains only the film substrate, that is, is a film substrate. For example, the milky white film contains ash. When the film substrate contains ash, the ash is also considered to be the film substrate.

[0046] The packaging substrate 10 is preferably tubular, and when the packaging substrate 10 is a film substrate, it is preferably a tubular film. A tubular film is a film obtained by forming a sheet-like film into a cylindrical shape like a tube.

[0047] The basis weight of the packaging substrate 10 (if the packaging substrate 10 is a film substrate, the basis weight of the film substrate) is not limited to a specific value, but the lower limit is preferably 32 g / m 2 More preferably, 45 g / m 2 More preferably, 54 g / m 2 The upper limit is preferably 90 g / m 2 Less than 81 g / m 2 Less than 72 g / m, more preferably 72 g / m 2 The basis weight of the packaging substrate 10 can be measured in accordance with JIS P 8124. The basis weight of the packaging substrate 10 is a value including the amount of ash and ink described above.

[0048] The packaging substrate 10 has a basis weight of 32 g / m 2 If the basis weight of the packaging substrate 10 is less than 90 g / m, the shape of the packaging body 1 cannot be adequately maintained, and the shape of the packaging body 1 deteriorates. 2 If the thickness exceeds this value, folding of the gusset becomes difficult, and operability decreases.

[0049] The thickness of the packaging substrate 10 (when the packaging substrate 10 is a film substrate, the thickness of the film substrate) is not limited to a specific value, but the lower limit is preferably 35 μm or more, more preferably 50 μm or more, and even more preferably 60 μm or more, and the upper limit is preferably 100 μm or less, more preferably 90 μm or less, and even more preferably 80 μm or less. The thickness of the packaging substrate 10 can be measured in accordance with JIS K7130.

[0050] If the thickness of the packaging substrate 10 is less than 35 μm, the shape of the packaging body 1 cannot be adequately maintained, and the shape of the packaging body 1 deteriorates. On the other hand, if the thickness of the packaging substrate 10 exceeds 100 μm, it becomes difficult to fold the gusset, and operability deteriorates.

[0051] The bending resistance in the MD direction of the packaging substrate 10 (if the packaging substrate 10 is a film substrate, the bending resistance in the MD direction of the film substrate) is not limited to a specific value, but the lower limit is preferably 2 [mN / 10 sheets] or more, more preferably 7 [mN / 10 sheets] or more, even more preferably 10 [mN / 10 sheets] or more, and the upper limit is preferably 25 [mN / 10 sheets] or less, more preferably 22 [mN / 10 sheets] or less, even more preferably 17 [mN / 10 sheets] or less.

[0052] The bending resistance in the MD direction of the packaging substrate 10 can be measured in accordance with JIS P 8125-1:2017 (ISO2493). For example, it can be measured using an L&W bending tester (manufactured by Lorentzen & Wettre). Specifically, a test piece with a width of 38 mm and a length of 80 mm is set in the test machine. The measured value in the MD direction when the bending angle is 15 degrees and the bending length (span of the sample table) is 10 mm is taken as the bending resistance (load). In addition, for a soft (low rigidity) sample such as a film, if a single test piece is used, the bending resistance is too small to be measured or the difference between the test pieces is difficult to obtain. For this reason, in the explanation of the present invention, the results of the measurement performed by stacking a total of 10 test pieces, 5 pieces with the front side up and 5 pieces with the back side up, in the test machine are shown. In this case, when chucking the test pieces, the 10 pieces are arranged so as not to shift before chucking.

[0053] If the bending resistance of the packaging substrate 10 in the MD direction is less than 2 [mN / 10 sheets], the shape of the package 1 cannot be adequately maintained, and the shape of the package 1 deteriorates. On the other hand, if the bending resistance of the packaging substrate 10 in the MD direction exceeds 25 [mN / 10 sheets], it becomes difficult to fold the gusset, and operability deteriorates.

[0054] (Film substrate) The film constituting the film substrate included in the packaging substrate 10 is preferably composed of multiple layers. That is, the packaging substrate 10 is preferably a tube-type film composed of multiple layers.

[0055] If the film constituting the film substrate included in the packaging substrate 10 is a single layer, the shape of the packaging body 1 cannot be adequately maintained, and the shape of the packaging body 1 deteriorates.

[0056] As the film constituting the film substrate, a plastic (thermoplastic resin) film used in packaging ordinary paper products can be used without any particular limitations on the material of the film. The film constituting the film substrate may be surface-treated, and is preferably a matte film from the viewpoints of aesthetics and slip resistance.

[0057] Examples of materials for the plastic film include thermoplastic resins such as polyolefin (polyethylene, polypropylene, etc.), polyester (PET, etc.), polyamide (nylon, etc.), polycarbonate, polystyrene, and polyvinyl chloride, with polyethylene being preferred.

[0058] As a specific configuration, the material of the film in the outermost layer of the film substrate is preferably any one selected from among textured polyethylene, milky polyethylene, linear low-density polyethylene, and unoriented polypropylene. The material of the film in the innermost layer is preferably any one selected from the above four types of materials. The film materials in the outermost layer and the innermost layer may be the same or different. The outermost layer of the film substrate is the layer on the outer surface side when formed into the packaging body 1, and the innermost layer of the film substrate is the layer on the inner surface side when formed into the packaging body 1, and is the layer (in other words, the surface) that comes into contact with the tissue paper laminate 11 contained in the packaging body 1 (packaging substrate 10).

[0059] As a specific configuration, it is more preferable that the material of the film in the outermost layer of the film substrate is a matte polyethylene, and it is more preferable that the material of the film in the innermost layer of the film substrate is a milky polyethylene, and it is preferable that the outermost layer and the innermost layer are extrusion laminated. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to improve the packaging form and the ease of folding the gusset.

[0060] When the outermost layer is textured polyethylene, the textured polyethylene has a moderate slipperiness, making it easy to fold the gusset in. Also, when the innermost layer is milky white polyethylene, the friction with the paper product is small, preventing the tissue paper from easily becoming wrinkled or folded, which would reduce the cosmetic quality.

[0061] The method of matte finishing the film substrate is not limited to a specific procedure or method, and may be any conventional method, such as a method of pressing the surface of the film substrate against an embossing roll or a matte roll during molding to give the film substrate an uneven surface, or a method of giving uneven surfaces by sandblasting. Alternatively, for example, a method of using a polymer blend or a method of biaxially stretching a laminate of a polyolefin resin blend may be used without performing surface processing as described above. These methods may be performed during molding of a tube-type film, but it is preferable to perform them on a single layer of polyethylene to obtain a matte polyethylene film, and then laminate it with a milky white polyethylene film or the like as the innermost layer.

[0062] When the film substrate included in the packaging substrate 10 is composed of three layers, for example, the material of the film in the outermost layer (i.e., the layer on the outer surface side when formed into the packaging body 1) of the film substrate may be matte polyethylene, the material of the film in the innermost layer (i.e., the layer on the inner surface side when formed into the packaging body 1) may be milky polyethylene, and the material of the film in the middle layer (i.e., the laminate layer between the outermost layer and the innermost layer) may be polyethylene. Note that the number of layers does not include the ink layer.

[0063] In addition, although the ash content of the packaging substrate 10 is not limited to a specific value, the lower limit is preferably 1.5% or more, more preferably 2.0% or more, and even more preferably 2.5% or more, and the upper limit is preferably 12% or less, more preferably 10% or less, and even more preferably 8.0% or less.

[0064] Specifically, the ash content refers to the proportion of minerals such as calcium, iron, sodium, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium, and can be measured in accordance with JIS P 8251. The ash content is calculated by the following formula, and in the explanation of the present invention, the absolute dry mass of the test piece in the formula is regarded as the mass of the test piece of the packaging substrate 10 when the test piece is conditioned at 23° C. and 50% humidity. Ash content (%) = mass of residue (g) ÷ bone dry mass of test piece (g) × 100

[0065] If the ash content of the packaging substrate 10 is less than 1.5%, folding of the gusset becomes difficult, and operability decreases. On the other hand, if the ash content of the packaging substrate 10 exceeds 12%, the stiffness of the packaging substrate decreases as the ash content increases, and the shape of the package decreases.

[0066] The packaging substrate 10 may have other layers in addition to the film substrate. Examples of the other layers include a water vapor barrier layer, an oxygen barrier layer, a print layer, a printability improving layer, an overprint layer, and a light-shielding layer. These other layers can be provided, for example, on the surface in contact with the tissue paper laminate 11 or on the surface in contact with the outside air, and may be one layer or two or more layers.

[0067] (Packaged item) 4 and 5 are perspective views showing an example of a tissue paper laminate 11 which is an article to be packaged in the packaging body 1 (specifically, the packaging base material 10).

[0068] The thin paper constituting the thin paper laminate 11 is not limited to a specific type, but may be, for example, tissue paper, wiper paper, paper hand towel, or the like.

[0069] The thin paper laminate 11 is preferably a lotion tissue paper laminate in which tissue papers impregnated with lotion as a medicinal liquid are laminated.

[0070] The basis weight of the thin paper (for example, one ply of lotion tissue paper) constituting the thin paper laminate 11 is not limited to a specific value, but the lower limit is preferably 12 g / m 2 More preferably, 14 g / m 2 More preferably, 16 g / m 2 The upper limit is preferably 20 g / m 2 Less than 19g / m, more preferably 2 Less than 18 g / m, more preferably 18 g / m 2 The basis weight of the thin paper can be measured in accordance with JIS P 8124. The basis weight of the thin paper is measured after it is kept in equilibrium under temperature and humidity conditions specified in JIS P 8111 (specifically, 23±1°C, 50±2% RH).

[0071] The basis weight of the thin paper (for example, one ply of lotion tissue paper) constituting the thin paper laminate 11 is 12 g / m 2 If the thickness is less than 20 g / m, the tissue paper will be thin and flimsy, and will be easily wrinkled or folded, resulting in a decrease in aesthetic value. 2 If the thickness exceeds this value, the height of the tissue paper laminate 11 will be large and bulky, making it difficult to fold the gusset, and reducing operability.

[0072] The thickness of the thin paper (e.g., lotion tissue paper) constituting the thin paper laminate 11 is not limited to a specific value, but the lower limit is preferably 0.50 [mm / 10 sheets] or more, more preferably 0.55 [mm / 10 sheets] or more, and even more preferably 0.60 [mm / 10 sheets] or more, and the upper limit is preferably 0.90 [mm / 10 sheets] or less, more preferably 0.82 [mm / 10 sheets] or less, and even more preferably 0.75 [mm / 10 sheets] or less. When the thin paper is tissue paper, 2 plies for 5 sets corresponds to 10 sheets.

[0073] The thickness of tissue paper (e.g., lotion tissue paper) can be measured, for example, using a thickness gauge (dial thickness gauge "PEACOCK" manufactured by Ozaki Manufacturing Co., Ltd.). Specifically, for example, the measurement conditions are a measurement load of 3.7 kPa and a gauge diameter of 30 mm, a sample is placed between the gauge and the measurement table, and the gauge is read when the gauge is lowered at a speed of 1 mm or less per second. The measurement is repeated 10 times (note that the same place is not measured 10 times, but 10 different places are measured), and the average of the measurement results is taken as the final paper thickness. In addition, the thickness of tissue paper is measured after being kept in equilibrium under temperature and humidity conditions specified in JIS P 8111 (specifically, 23±1°C, 50±2% RH).

[0074] If the thickness of the tissue paper (e.g., lotion tissue paper) constituting the tissue paper laminate 11 is less than 0.50 [mm / 10 sheets], the tissue paper will be thin and flimsy, and will wrinkle or fold easily, resulting in reduced cosmetic properties. On the other hand, if the thickness of the tissue paper (e.g., lotion tissue paper) constituting the tissue paper laminate 11 exceeds 0.90 [mm / 10 sheets], the height of the tissue paper laminate 11 will be high and bulky, making it difficult to fold the gusset, and reducing operability.

[0075] The specific volume of the tissue paper (for example, one ply of lotion tissue paper) constituting the tissue paper laminate 11 is not limited to a specific value, but the lower limit is preferably 3.0 cm 3 / g or more, more preferably 3.3 cm 3 / g or more, more preferably 3.6 cm 3 / g or more, and the upper limit is preferably 5.7 cm 3 / g or less, more preferably 5.2 cm 3 / g or less, more preferably 4.7 cm 3 The specific volume is calculated by dividing the thickness of the thin paper (e.g., one ply of lotion tissue paper) by the basis weight of the thin paper (e.g., one ply of lotion tissue paper), and expressing the volume cm per unit g. 3This is expressed as:

[0076] The specific volume of the tissue paper (for example, one ply of lotion tissue paper) constituting the tissue paper laminate 11 is 3.0 cm 3 If the specific volume of the tissue paper constituting the tissue paper laminate 11 (for example, one ply of lotion tissue paper) is less than 5.7 cm3 / g, the tissue paper will be thin and flimsy, and will be easily wrinkled or folded, resulting in a decrease in aesthetic value. 3 If it exceeds 1 / g, the height of the tissue paper laminate 11 will be large and bulky, making it difficult to fold the gusset, and reducing operability.

[0077] The tissue paper laminate 11 is preferably a lotion tissue paper laminate having two plies of lotion tissue paper. By using the lotion tissue paper laminate 11, even when the number of tissue paper laminates 11 decreases, the tissue paper (i.e., lotion tissue paper) constituting the tissue paper laminate 11 can be easily removed from the package 1. In addition, the tissue paper is less likely to wrinkle or fold.

[0078] The number of pairs of tissue papers (e.g., two-ply lotion tissue paper) constituting the tissue paper laminate 11 is not limited to a specific value, but the lower limit is preferably 160 pairs or more, more preferably 200 pairs or more, and even more preferably 220 pairs or more, and the upper limit is preferably 320 pairs or less, more preferably 300 pairs or less, and even more preferably 260 pairs or less.

[0079] If the number of sets of tissue papers (e.g., 2-ply lotion tissue paper) constituting the tissue paper laminate 11 is less than 160 sets, the packaging base material 10 will not be tight enough to the tissue paper laminate 11, and the tissue paper laminate 11 will become unstable and shift inside the packaging base material 10, making the tissue paper more likely to wrinkle or fold, resulting in a decrease in aesthetic appeal. On the other hand, if the number of sets of tissue papers (e.g., 2-ply lotion tissue paper) constituting the tissue paper laminate 11 exceeds 320 sets, the height of the tissue paper laminate 11 will be high and bulky, making it difficult to fold the gusset, and reducing operability.

[0080] The method for folding and stacking the tissue paper is not limited to a specific procedure or method, but for example, a rotary interfolder (IF) may be used, or a multi-stand interfolder (MF) may be used.

[0081] As shown in FIG. 6, the tissue papers constituting the tissue paper laminate 11 are preferably V-folded so that approximately half of the opposing tissue papers 14 overlapping each other in the vertical direction are sandwiched between each other in the CD direction in a line of sight (i.e., side view) along the MD direction (specifically, the direction in which the tissue paper laminate 11 is inserted) of the packaging body 1 (specifically, the packaging base material 10). This allows the tissue papers 14 constituting the tissue paper laminate 11 to be taken out of the packaging body 1 (specifically, the packaging base material 10) in a pop-up style. Note that the relationship between the V-fold direction of the tissue papers 14 constituting the tissue paper laminate 11 in FIG. 6 and the MD and CD directions is merely an example, and the relationship between the V-fold direction of the tissue papers 14 in the actual manufacturing process and the MD and CD directions is not limited to the relationship in FIG. 6 (specifically, it differs depending on whether the method of stacking the tissue papers is a rotary interfolder (IF) or a multi-stand interfolder (MF)).

[0082] The height of the thin paper laminate 11 (e.g., a laminate of lotion tissue paper) is not limited to a specific value, but the lower limit is preferably 40 mm or more, more preferably 50 mm or more, and even more preferably 60 mm or more, and the upper limit is preferably 100 mm or less, more preferably 90 mm or less, and even more preferably 80 mm or less.

[0083] The height of the tissue paper laminate 11 is a dimension along a direction perpendicular to both the MD and CD directions (specifically, a vertical direction). This dimension may be calculated, for example, by measuring the dimensions b1 to b4 of each of the four vertical sides of the tissue paper laminate 11 shown in FIG. 4 and averaging them.

[0084] If the height of the tissue paper laminate 11 is less than 40 mm, the packaging base material 10 will not be tight enough to fit the tissue paper laminate 11, and the tissue paper laminate 11 will become unstable and shift inside the packaging base material 10, making the tissue more likely to wrinkle or fold, resulting in a decrease in aesthetic appeal. On the other hand, if the height of the tissue paper laminate 11 exceeds 100 mm, it will be difficult to fold the gusset, reducing operability.

[0085] Although the longitudinal dimension of the thin paper laminate 11 (e.g., a laminate of lotion tissue paper) is not limited to a specific value, the lower limit is preferably 140 mm or more, more preferably 150 mm or more, and even more preferably 165 mm or more, and the upper limit is preferably 220 mm or less, more preferably 200 mm or less, and even more preferably 185 mm or less.

[0086] The longitudinal dimension of the tissue paper laminate 11 may be calculated, for example, by measuring the dimensions c1 to c4 of each of the four sides of the tissue paper laminate 11 shown in Figure 5, which correspond to the long sides of the rectangle when viewed along the vertical direction, and averaging these dimensions. The longitudinal dimension of the tissue paper laminate 11 is also referred to as the "longitudinal dimension D of the laminate." The longitudinal dimension of the tissue paper laminate 11 is the dimension of the tissue paper laminate 11 along the direction connecting the sealed portions 13 of the packaging base material 10 (MD direction in the example shown in the figure).

[0087] If the longitudinal dimension of the tissue paper laminate 11 is less than 140 mm, the packaging base material 10 will not be tight enough to fit the tissue paper laminate 11, and the tissue paper laminate 11 will become unstable and shift inside the packaging base material 10, making the tissue more likely to wrinkle or fold, resulting in a decrease in aesthetic appeal. On the other hand, if the longitudinal dimension of the tissue paper laminate 11 exceeds 220 mm, it will be difficult to fold the gusset, resulting in a decrease in operability.

[0088] The difference (i.e., CD) between the dimension between the sealed portions 13 of the packaging base material 10 (i.e., dimension C between the sealed portions) and the longitudinal dimension of the tissue paper laminate 11 (i.e., longitudinal dimension D of the laminate) is not limited to a specific value, but the lower limit is preferably 10 mm or more, more preferably 15 mm or more, and even more preferably 20 mm or more, and the upper limit is preferably 60 mm or less, more preferably 50 mm or less, and even more preferably 40 mm or less.

[0089] If the difference between the dimension C between the sealed portions and the longitudinal dimension D of the laminate (i.e., CD) is less than 10 mm, the packaging base material 10 is too tight against the tissue paper laminate 11, making the tissue paper more likely to wrinkle or fold, and reducing the aesthetic appeal. On the other hand, if the difference between the dimension C between the sealed portions and the longitudinal dimension D of the laminate (i.e., CD) exceeds 60 mm, the packaging base material 10 is less tight against the tissue paper laminate 11, and the tissue paper laminate 11 becomes unstable and shifts inside the packaging base material 10, making the tissue paper more likely to wrinkle or fold, and reducing the aesthetic appeal.

[0090] The content of medicinal solution (e.g., lotion) in the thin paper (e.g., lotion tissue paper) that constitutes the thin paper laminate 11 is not limited to a specific value, but the lower limit is preferably 10% by weight or more, more preferably 12% by weight or more, and even more preferably 14% by weight or more, and the upper limit is preferably 22% by weight or less, more preferably 19% by weight or less, and even more preferably 17% by weight or less, relative to the total amount of the thin paper.

[0091] If the content of the chemical solution is less than 10% by weight of the total amount of the tissue paper, the tissue paper will be less slippery, the tissue paper laminate 11 will be less likely to move inside the packaging base material 10, and the tissue paper will be more likely to wrinkle or fold (for example, when the tissue paper laminate 11 is inserted into the inside of the packaging base material 10), resulting in a decrease in aesthetic value. On the other hand, if the content of the chemical solution exceeds 22% by weight of the total amount of the tissue paper, the tissue paper will be too slippery, and the tissue paper laminate 11 will not be stable inside the packaging base material 10 and will shift, causing the tissue paper to be more likely to wrinkle or fold, resulting in a decrease in aesthetic value.

[0092] The lower limit of the lotion content per ply in the lotion tissue paper is preferably 2.1 g / m 2 More preferably, it is 2.4 g / m or more. 2 The upper limit is preferably 3.0 g / m 2 More preferably, it is 2.7 g / m or less. 2 The following is the result.

[0093] The lotion content in the lotion tissue paper and the lotion content per ply are measured as follows. 5 g of lotion tissue paper is collected, dried in a dryer (105°C) for 120 minutes, then cooled in a desiccator for 30 minutes, and the mass is measured. The measured mass at this time is designated as M1. Next, Soxhlet extraction is performed for 4 hours using the lotion tissue paper whose mass has been measured and 150 mL of extraction solvent (acetone:ethanol = 1:1). The obtained extract is heated and concentrated in a hot water bath, dried in a dryer (105°C) for 90 minutes, and then cooled in a desiccator for 30 minutes, and the mass is measured. The measured mass at this time is designated as M2. Then, using the two measured masses M1 and M2 obtained, M2 / M1 x 100 (%) is determined as the chemical solution content (lotion content [%]). Also, basis weight per ply x lotion content = chemical solution content (lotion content per ply) (g / m 2 ) EXAMPLES

[0094] Examples of the present invention will be described below. Note that the following examples are presented for illustrative purposes, and the contents of the following examples do not limit the configuration of the present invention.

[0095] A lotion tissue paper package was produced as an example of a specific configuration of the package according to the present invention using materials having the physical properties, specifications, and specifications shown in Tables 1 to 3 below, and the following five items were used as evaluation criteria, with evaluation criteria 1 being scored from 1 to 5 points, and evaluation criteria 2 to 5 being scored from 1 to 4 points respectively. Specifically, a particularly good or particularly excellent condition was scored as 1 point, followed by conditions of 2 points, 3 points, and so on. Points 4 and 5 correspond to failures that do not meet the standards of a commercially available product.

[0096] Evaluation point 1: Packaging shape The better the packaging base material is in terms of appropriate firmness, for example, the more the gusset fold lines are sharp (in other words, the more the corners are rounded), and the better the appearance, the higher the score. In this example, specifically, a sensory evaluation was conducted by 20 monitors, who selected "good" or "bad" for the shape of the packaging. Scoring was performed according to the following criteria. 1 point: 18 or more people answered "good" above 2 points: 14 to 17 people answered "Good" 3 points: 10 to 13 people answered "Good" 4 points: 7 to 9 people answered "good" 5 points: 6 or fewer people answered "good"

[0097] Evaluation point 2: Tightness of packaging (beauty) The more adequate the strength of the packaging base material to encase (and stably support) the tissue paper laminate, the higher the score. In this example, specifically, a sensory evaluation was conducted by 20 monitors, who selected "good" or "bad" for the tightness of the packaging. Scoring was done according to the following criteria. 1 point: 18 or more people answered "good" above 2 points: 14 to 17 people answered "Good" 3 points: 10 to 13 people answered "Good" 4 points: 9 or fewer people answered "good"

[0098] Evaluation point 3: Ease of folding the gusset (operability) The easier it is to fold the gusset when sealing (specifically, heat sealing) the packaging base material, the higher the score. Specifically, in this example, a sensory evaluation was performed by 20 monitors, who selected "good" or "bad" for the ease of folding the gusset. The scores were given according to the following criteria. 1 point: 18 or more people answered "good" above 2 points: 14 to 17 people answered "Good" 3 points: 10 to 13 people answered "Good" 4 points: 9 or fewer people answered "good"

[0099] Evaluation point 4: Heat sealability of packaging base material (appearance, operability) The better the finish of the heat seal for sealing the packaging substrate, the higher the score. Depending on the degree of stiffness, the strength of the heat seal joint may be insufficient, or the packaging substrate may shrink or twist. In this example, specifically, a sensory evaluation was performed by 20 monitors, who selected "good" or "bad" for the heat sealability of the packaging substrate. Scoring was performed according to the following criteria. 1 point: 18 or more people answered "good" above 2 points: 14 to 17 people answered "Good" 3 points: 10 to 13 people answered "Good" 4 points: 9 or fewer people answered "good"

[0100] Evaluation point 5: Wrinkles and folds in tissue paper (cosmetic properties) The less wrinkles or folds there are in the tissue paper wrapped in the wrapping base material, the higher the score. In this example, specifically, a sensory evaluation was conducted by 20 monitors, who selected "good" or "bad" for the wrinkles and folds in the tissue paper. The scores were given according to the following criteria. 1 point: 18 or more people answered "good" above 2 points: 14 to 17 people answered "Good" 3 points: 10 to 13 people answered "Good" 4 points: 9 or fewer people answered "good"

[0101] (Packaged item) As the packaged items, several kinds of lotion tissue papers (i.e., tissue papers impregnated with a drug solution) with different basis weights, paper thicknesses, and specific volumes were used as thin papers, and a two-ply lotion tissue paper laminate was produced and used. The measurement and calculation results of the basis weight (per ply), paper thickness, and specific volume of each of the several kinds of lotion tissue papers (in other words, of each lotion tissue paper of the examples and comparative examples) are shown in Tables 1 to 3.

[0102] The number of pairs of two-ply lotion tissue paper constituting the lotion tissue paper laminate as the packaged item ranges from 144 pairs to 350 pairs, the height of the lotion tissue paper laminate ranges from 43 mm to 105 mm, and the longitudinal dimension D of the lotion tissue paper laminate ranges from 160 mm to 185 mm.

[0103] The content of the liquid medicine (specifically, lotion) in the lotion tissue paper ranges from 14.1% by weight to 17.0% by weight.

[0104] (Packaging base material) As the packaging substrate, several kinds of film substrates (specifically, tube-type films) with different basis weights and thicknesses were used. The measurement results of the thickness, basis weight, and bending resistance in the MD direction of each of the several kinds of film substrates (in other words, each of the film substrates of the examples and comparative examples) are as shown in Tables 1 to 3.

[0105] Regarding the film substrate as the packaging substrate, a single-layer structure and a multi-layer structure were used.

[0106] The gusset as a package has a fold width ranging from 18 mm to 66 mm, a dimension C between the sealed portions ranging from 167 mm to 240 mm, and a difference between the dimension C between the sealed portions and the longitudinal dimension D of the laminate (i.e., CD) ranging from 2 mm to 65 mm.

[0107] For each of Examples 1 to 13 and Comparative Examples 1 to 7, the physical properties, specifications, and specifications of the lotion tissue paper constituting the packaged goods, the physical properties, specifications, and specifications of the tube-type film as the packaging base material, the specifications and specifications of the package, and the evaluation results are shown in Tables 1 to 3.

[0108] [Table 1]

[0109] [Table 2]

[0110] [Table 3]

[0111] From the results shown in Tables 1 to 3, it was confirmed that none of the packages of Examples 1 to 13 received a score of 4 or 5 (i.e., failure) in any of the five evaluation criteria, and were good or excellent in terms of package shape, package tightness, ease of folding the gusset, heat sealability of the packaging base material, and wrinkles and folds in the tissue paper.

[0112] In contrast, it was confirmed that all of the packages of Comparative Examples 1 to 7 received at least one score of 4 or 5 (i.e., failure) in each of the five evaluation criteria.

[0113] From the results shown in Tables 1 to 3, it was confirmed that by forming packages as in Examples 1 to 13, particularly good packages according to the present invention could be obtained.

[0114] (Action and effect) According to the packaging body 1 according to the embodiment, it is possible to improve the shape, operability, and cosmetic properties.

[0115] The above describes an embodiment of the present invention, but the specific configuration of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and the present invention also includes embodiments in which modifications and changes are made to the above embodiment without departing from the gist of the present invention.
