Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a package and a packaging method for this package, and more particularly to a package for packaging a plurality of rectangular parallelepiped products and products having a shape similar to a rectangular parallelepiped, stacked together, and a packaging method for this package. [Background technology]

[0002] Contents that are formed by stacking multiple sheets folded into a rectangular shape to form a rectangular parallelepiped overall, such as boxed tissues (hereinafter also referred to as box tissues), in which tissues are placed in a paper box to form a rectangular parallelepiped overall product, or tissues in a plastic packaging bag, in which the above-mentioned tissues are wrapped in a resin sheet to form a roughly rectangular parallelepiped overall product, are stacked in multiple units and packaged in a plastic packaging film as an exterior member, and are displayed in stores as product collection units.To make these collection units easier for purchasers to carry, as shown in Patent Document 1, for example, both ends of a carrier film made of a plastic strip film are heat-sealed to the packaging film on the side of the collection unit.In other words, the carrier film is attached to the collection unit, and purchasers can carry the collection unit of products by holding the carrier film.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2010-275011 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In recent years, the problem of plastic waste has become more serious worldwide. To improve the global environment, it is desirable to reduce the amount of plastic used in order to reduce plastic waste. One measure to reduce the amount of plastic used is, for example, replacing plastic exterior components with paper.

[0005] In the aforementioned collecting units for boxed tissues and tissues in plastic packaging bags, attempts have been made to replace the exterior material with paper. Even when the collecting units are packaged in paper, a handle is attached to make them easier to carry. In this case, because paper cannot be provided with a sealant layer like plastic, the handle cannot be heat-sealed. Therefore, the strip-shaped film for the handle must be bonded to the paper exterior material with an adhesive.

[0006] However, the bonding strength between the paper exterior member and the strip-shaped film for the handle is relatively low, which poses a problem in that the handle is prone to coming off.

[0007] The present invention was made in consideration of these problems, and its purpose is to provide a package that can reduce the amount of plastic used and prevents the handle from accidentally coming off. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] In order to achieve the above object, the package of the present invention comprises a belt-shaped member wrapped around the packaged item in a circular shape, and an outer packaging member that encases the packaged item and the belt-shaped member, the outer packaging member being made of a paper material and including a removal means that can expose and remove a portion of the belt-shaped member, and the portion of the belt-shaped member removed from the removal means becomes a handle.

[0009] With this configuration, because the exterior member is made of paper, the amount of plastic used can be reduced, contributing to a lighter burden on the global environment. Furthermore, paper materials are easy to tear, making it easy to remove the packaged item. Furthermore, because the exterior member includes a removal means, a portion of the strip-shaped member can be easily exposed and removed from the exterior member. Furthermore, because the strip-shaped member that serves as the handle is wrapped around the packaged item in a circular shape, the handle itself can firmly hold the packaged item. Therefore, there is no need to glue the exterior member and the strip-shaped member, and there is no need to worry about the bonding strength between the exterior member and the strip-shaped member.

[0010] The removal means is preferably at least one of an opening, a perforation, a tear tape, and a notch. This configuration makes it easy to take out the belt-shaped member to be carried.

[0011] Furthermore, it is preferable that the opening has a rectangular shape when viewed in plan, exposes a portion of the strip-shaped member, the length of the shorter side of the opening is the same as or shorter than the width of the strip-shaped member, and the opening is occupied by the strip-shaped member.

[0012] With this configuration, the belt-shaped member to be carried is exposed from the opening in advance, making it easier to remove the belt-shaped member to be carried. Furthermore, with this configuration, the opening is closed by the belt-shaped member, so the packaged item is covered by the exterior member and the belt-shaped member, preventing the packaged item from becoming soiled.

[0013] Furthermore, it is preferable that the opening be configured such that a pair of opposing trapezoidal flaps that are generated when the packaged item and the belt-shaped member are wrapped together in the outer packaging member are positioned on at least the top surface of the top and bottom surfaces of the packaged item, and are folded so as to provide a gap between the pair of trapezoidal flaps.

[0014] This configuration makes it easy to form an opening as a removal means. In addition, the opening can be positioned not only on the top surface of the packaged item, but also on the bottom surface of the packaged item, increasing the flexibility of the removal position of the belt-shaped member used as a handle.

[0015] Furthermore, when the packaged item is a rectangular parallelepiped or approximately rectangular parallelepiped, the length of the longer side of the top surface is W, the length of the shorter side of the top surface is H, and the length between the upper and lower bases of the trapezoidal flap is D, it is preferable that D is less than 1 / 2 of H.

[0016] This configuration reduces the amount of exterior material used, contributing to reducing the burden on the global environment, and since an opening is provided in advance, there is no need to cut off the exterior material when removing the strip-shaped member, so no waste is generated.

[0017] Furthermore, it is preferable that the packaged item be configured as an integrated unit that is either a rectangular or approximately rectangular parallelepiped shape as a whole, in which multiple products are stacked together, either products placed in a rectangular box or approximately rectangular parallelepiped products placed in a resin packaging bag. This configuration makes it easy to carry multiple products together.

[0018] The present invention also provides a packaging method for the above-mentioned package, which includes a belt-shaped member winding step of winding a belt-shaped member around an item to be packaged in a circular shape, and a packaging step of wrapping the item around which the belt-shaped member is wound in an outer packaging member, wherein the outer packaging member is made of a paper material and includes removal means that exposes and removes a portion of the belt-shaped member, and in the packaging step, the item to be packaged is wrapped in the outer packaging member so that the position of the removal means of the outer packaging member overlaps with the portion of the belt-shaped member wrapped around the item to be packaged.

[0019] According to this packaging method, a package can be easily obtained in which the packaged item, around which a strip-shaped member serving as a handle is wound, is packaged in an exterior member made of a paper material having an opening. [Effects of the Invention]

[0020] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a package that can reduce the amount of plastic used and that prevents the handle from accidentally coming off, and a packaging method for this package. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0022] [First embodiment] A packaging body 2 according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the package 2 includes a strip-shaped member 10 wrapped around an accumulation unit 6 made up of a plurality of stacked box-shaped products, such as box tissues 4, and an exterior member 8 that covers the accumulation units 6 held together by the strip-shaped member 10.

[0023] As shown in Fig. 2, the box tissue 4 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape, which is a hexahedron with all faces formed as rectangles. This hexahedron is composed of a top surface 41, a bottom surface 42 opposite the top surface 41, a pair of side surfaces 43 (a front side surface 43a and a rear side surface 43b) extending between the long sides of the top surface 41 and the bottom surface 42, and a pair of end surfaces 44 (a left end surface 44a and a right end surface 44b) extending between the short sides of the top surface 41 and the bottom surface 42. The areas of the top surface 41 and the bottom surface 42 are the same. The area of the top surface 41 is larger than the area of the side surfaces 43. The area of the end surfaces 44 is smaller than the area of the side surfaces 43. The portion designated by reference numeral 45 is a perforation for the tissue dispensing opening.

[0024] A plurality of box tissues 4 are prepared, and as shown in Fig. 3, they are stacked in order so that the top surface 41 of one box tissue 4 overlaps the bottom surface 42 of the other box tissue 4, forming a stacked unit of box tissues 6. In this embodiment, five box tissues are stacked.

[0025] Here, the stacking of the box tissues 4 is not limited to the above-described stacking of the box tissues 4 in a single row, and various modifications are possible. For example, as shown in Fig. 11, the packaged item may be a stacked unit 60 in which three stacked units 6, each of which is made up of a single row of box tissues 4, are arranged horizontally.

[0026] The strip-shaped member 10 is in the form of a flat, elongated strip, and is wrapped around the collecting unit 6 in a circular shape. This strip-shaped member 10 is preferably stretchable. Such a strip-shaped member 10 is preferably formed from a resin film made of a synthetic resin such as polyethylene or polypropylene. The strip-shaped member 10 is tightly wrapped around the collecting unit 6, binding each box of tissues 4 together. Furthermore, as mentioned above, since the strip-shaped member 10 is stretchable, it can be stretched and, if stretched to leave a gap between it and the box of tissues 4, it can also function as a carrier.

[0027] Here, the strip-shaped member 10 is not limited to being tightly wound around the accumulation unit 6, but may be wound loosely around the accumulation unit 6 with a portion folded.

[0028] The exterior member 8 is made of a paper material. Paper materials are easy to tear, making it easy to remove the packaged items. Examples of this paper material include fine paper, pure white paper, coated paper, art coated paper, glassine paper, kraft paper, and composite paper made of resin and paper. Examples of composite paper made of resin and paper include mixed paper and laminated paper. Mixed paper is a material made by mixing biodegradable plastic in a fibrous form with pulp and then making paper. Laminated paper is a material made by extruding heated and melted biodegradable plastic or biomass plastic into a film on a paper base and bonding it to it. Such composite paper can be bonded by heat sealing and is also water resistant.

[0029] The exterior member 8 encases the stacked units 6 bound by the belt-shaped member 10. The wrapping method is not particularly limited, but a commonly known wrapping method, such as a clasp wrap or a so-called caramel wrap, is preferred because it is easy to do so.

[0030] The procedure for wrapping items together will now be described with reference to Figure 4. In Figure 4, arrows indicate the up, down, left, right, front, and back directions, and the description will be given along these directions. The same applies to Figure 10, which will be described later.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 4, a plurality of stacking units 6 are continuously transported from left to right in FIG. 4, and the work progresses in order from (a) to (j).

[0032] First, in stage (a), a stacking unit 6 is prepared in which five box tissues 4 are stacked. The prepared stacking unit 6 is arranged so that the rear side surface 63b where the rear side surface 43b of the box tissues 4 is located is on the bottom side in Fig. 4, the front side surface 63a where the front side surface 43a of the box tissues 4 is located is on the top side in Fig. 4, the top surface 61 where the top surface 41 of the box tissues 4 is located is on the left side in Fig. 4, the bottom surface 62 where the bottom surface 42 of the box tissues 4 is located is on the right side in Fig. 4, the left end surface 64a where the left end surface 44a of the box tissues 4 is located is on the front side in Fig. 4, and the right end surface 64b where the right end surface 44b of the box tissues 4 is located is on the rear side in Fig. 4.

[0033] The names of the top surface 61, bottom surface 62, front side surface 63a, rear side surface 63b, left end surface 64a, and right end surface 64b of the integrated unit 6 are used in the same manner to indicate the parts even after the integrated unit 6 is wrapped in the outer casing material 8 described below.

[0034] Next, in the step (b), the long strip-shaped member 10 is unwound from the rolls 12 and wound around the bottom surface 62, left end surface 64a, right end surface 64b, and top surface 61 of the accumulation unit 6.

[0035] Next, at step (c), one end and the other end of the strip-shaped member 10 are joined and simultaneously cut at a predetermined position around the accumulation unit 6, thereby obtaining an accumulation unit 6 in which the strip-shaped member 10 is wound in a circular shape.

[0036] Next, in the step (d), heat is applied from a heat source (not shown) to thermally shrink the belt-shaped member 10 and make it adhere to the collecting unit 6. This causes the box tissues 4 in the collecting unit 6 to be bound more tightly.

[0037] Here, the belt-shaped member 10 is not limited to being tightly bound by heat shrinking, and may be left wrapped in a circular shape around the accumulation unit 6 without being heat shrunk. Also, the belt-shaped member 10 may be unwound a little long, wound in a circular shape around the accumulation unit 6 with some slack, and then folded.

[0038] Next, in the stage (e), a rectangular exterior member 8 is supplied from a supply means (not shown) for the exterior member 8. The long sides of the exterior member 8 are indicated by reference numeral 81, and the short sides are indicated by reference numeral 82. Then, in the stage (f), the exterior member 8 is wrapped around the peripheral surfaces of the accumulation unit 6, i.e., the front side surface 63a, the top surface 61, the bottom surface 62, and the rear side surface 63b, and both short sides 82 of the exterior member 8 that overlap at the rear side surface 63b are joined together, for example, with an adhesive. This makes the exterior member 8 cylindrical.

[0039] Next, in step (g), one end of the cylindrical exterior member 8, i.e., the portion of the long side 81 of the exterior member 8, is bent. More specifically, the portion of the long side 81 of the exterior member 8 that is on the top surface 61 side of the accumulation unit 6 is bent along the left end surface 64a of the accumulation unit 6. Similarly, the opposite side (the other end of the cylindrical exterior member 8) of the exterior member 8 is bent along the right end surface 64b of the accumulation unit 6.

[0040] Next, in step (h), the portion of the exterior member 8 on the bottom surface 62 side of the accumulation unit 6 is folded along the left end surface 64a of the accumulation unit 6. Similarly, the exterior member 8 is folded on the opposite side along the right end surface 64b of the accumulation unit 6. When step (h) is completed, a trapezoidal flap 83 is formed on the long side 81 of the exterior member 8.

[0041] Next, in the step (i), both the front and rear sides of the trapezoidal flap 83 located on the lower side in FIG.

[0042] Next, in the step (j), both the front and rear sides of the trapezoidal flap 83 located on the upper side in FIG. 4 are folded along the stacking unit 6 and joined with an adhesive.

[0043] Through the above procedure, the accumulated unit 6 is packaged in the exterior member 8, and the package 2 as shown in FIG. 1 is obtained.

[0044] In the packaging body 2 of this first embodiment, trapezoidal flaps 83 of the outer casing member 8 are positioned at the left end surface 64a and the right end surface 64b of the accumulation unit 6, and there are no folds in the outer casing member 8 at the top surface 61 of the accumulation unit 6.

[0045] The package 2 is provided with a removal means 80 that exposes and removes a portion of the strip-shaped member 10 in the top surface 61 of the accumulation unit 6. The removal means 80 in the first embodiment is provided with perforations 84. As shown in FIG. 1 , the perforations 84 include a main perforation 84a that extends in the longitudinal direction of the top surface 61 of the accumulation unit 6 along the side of the strip-shaped member 10, and sub-perforations 84b that extend the same length as the width of the strip-shaped member 10 at the corners between the top surface 61 and the left end surface 64a and the corners between the top surface 61 and the right end surface 64b.

[0046] Because the exterior member 8 is made of paper, it can be easily torn along the perforations 84, and by tearing it, a part of the belt-shaped member 10 is exposed and can be taken out. Because the belt-shaped member 10 is stretchable, it stretches appropriately when the user grasps it with their hand, making it a handbag.

[0047] As described above, when the package 2 is displayed on a shelf, the exterior member 8 remains intact, preventing the box tissues 4 inside from becoming soiled. After purchasing the product, a user can tear the exterior member 8 along the perforations 84 as described above to remove a portion of the strip 10 as a handle, making it easy to carry the package 2. The strip 10 is wound around the periphery of the accumulation unit 6, binding the individual box tissues 4 together, so it will not come off accidentally. Furthermore, because the exterior member 8 is made of paper, it contributes to reducing the amount of plastic used.

[0048] There are several variations of the above-described take-out means 80. These variations will be described below. In the description of the variations, the same components as those already described will be given the same reference numerals, and detailed description will be omitted.

[0049] As shown in Fig. 5, the first modified example has a tear tape 85 that extends in the longitudinal direction of the top surface 61 along the side of the belt-shaped member 10 instead of the main perforation 84a. A tab 85a is provided at the end of this tear tape. In the first modified example, the tear tape 85 is pulled out by grasping and pulling up the tab 85a, which tears the exterior member 8 and exposes the belt-shaped member 10 as a handle.

[0050] 6, in the second modified example, a circular notch 86 is provided midway along the main perforation 84a. In the second modified example, the main perforation 84a can be torn starting from the portion of the notch 86, and the exterior member 8 can be easily torn.

[0051] Here, the above-mentioned perforations are not limited to a combination of one main perforation 84a extending in the longitudinal direction of the top surface 61 along the side of the above-mentioned belt-shaped member 10 and sub-perforations 84b, 84b provided at the corner between the top surface 61 and the left end surface 64a and at the corner between the top surface 61 and the right end surface 64b, but may be, for example, as shown below. That is, various perforations include a combination of one perforation extending along the center line of the strip-shaped member 10 on the top surface 61 and sub-perforations 84b, 84b, a combination of two perforations extending along both sides of the strip-shaped member 10 on the top surface 61 and sub-perforations 84b, 84b, a combination of two perforations extending along both sides of the strip-shaped member 10 on the top surface 61 and one sub-perforation extending in a direction perpendicular to the two perforations in the center of the top surface 61 and spanning between the two perforations, an oval-shaped perforation arranged on the top surface 61 at a position overlapping with the strip-shaped member 10, a long-hole-shaped perforation arranged on the top surface 61 at a position overlapping with the strip-shaped member 10, and a long-hole-shaped perforation extending from the top of the left end surface 64a through the top surface 61 to the top of the right end surface 64b and arranged at a position overlapping with the strip-shaped member 10.

[0052] Furthermore, the tear tape described above is not limited to the tear tape 85 extending longitudinally along the side of the belt-shaped member 10, but may be, for example, a tear tape extending around the entire periphery of the left end face 64a, the rear side face 63b, the right end face 64b, and the upper part of the front side face 63a.

[0053] Furthermore, instead of the notches described above, slits may be provided as starting points for tearing the perforations. Specifically, examples include a combination of extended slits provided at the upper part of the left end face 64a and the upper part of the right end face 64b so as to extend from two perforations extending along both sides of the belt-shaped member 10 on the top face 61, and orthogonal slits extending between the tips of these extended slits, and a combination of side edge slits provided at both side edges at the upper part of the left end face 64a and the upper part of the right end face 64b so as to extend from two perforations extending along both side edges of the top face 61, and orthogonal slits extending between the tips of these side edge slits.

[0054] As described above, the position at which the removal means 80 is arranged is not limited to within the top surface 61 as long as it can expose the strip-shaped member 10, but may be arranged extending from the top surface 61 to the left end surface 64a, rear side surface 63b, right end surface 64b, and front side surface 63a, or may be arranged outside the top surface 61 to the left end surface 64a, rear side surface 63b, right end surface 64b, front side surface 63a, and bottom surface 62.

[0055] [Second embodiment] A packaging body 20 according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the description of the second embodiment, the same components as those of the packaging body 2 according to the first embodiment already described will be assigned the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0056] As shown in FIG. 7 , in the packaging body 20 according to the second embodiment, trapezoidal flaps 831, 832 of the exterior member 8 are positioned on the top surface 61 of the collecting unit 6, and no folds are present in the exterior member 8 on the left end surface 64a and the right end surface 64b of the collecting unit 6. The trapezoidal flaps 831, 832 have a predetermined length between their upper and lower bases, and do not overlap each other. Furthermore, folded pieces 87, 88, which are positioned on the left end surface 64a and the right end surface 64b of the collecting unit 6 within the long side 81 of the exterior member 8 and are folded along the top surface 61, also do not overlap each other. Therefore, an opening 90 that is rectangular in plan view is formed by a gap between the trapezoidal flaps 831, 832 and the folded pieces 87, 88. The length of the short side of this opening 90, i.e., the distance between the trapezoidal flaps 831 and 832, is the same as the width of the belt-shaped member 10. The length of the long side of the opening 90 corresponds to the distance between the folded pieces 87 and 88. Both ends of the belt-shaped member 10 positioned on the top surface 61 are covered by the folded pieces 87 and 88. As shown in FIG. 7, the folded pieces 87 and 88 have one-side perforations 87a and 88a extending along both sides of the belt-shaped member 10. In other words, the package 20 according to the second embodiment is provided with a removal means including the opening 90 and the one-side perforations 87a and 88a.

[0057] In the packaging body 20, the opening 90 overlaps with the strip-shaped member 10, so the box of tissues 4 is not exposed. Therefore, when the packaging body 20 is displayed on a shelf, the box of tissues 4 inside is prevented from getting dirty. A user who has purchased the product can easily remove a portion of the strip-shaped member 10 as a carry bag by picking up the strip-shaped member 10 through the opening 90, making it easy to carry the packaging body 2. When the user picks up the strip-shaped member 10, as shown in FIG. 8, the folded pieces 87, 88 are partially torn along the one-side perforations 87a, 88a, so that the entire strip-shaped member 10 located on the top surface 61 comes out of the exterior member 8. This makes it easy for the user to insert their hand between the strip-shaped member 10 and the box of tissues 4, making it easy to carry the packaging body 20.

[0058] Here, when forming an appropriate opening 90 in the package 20, it is preferable to form the trapezoidal flaps 831, 832 under the following conditions: First, as shown in Fig. 9, if the length of the longer side of the top surface 41 (61) of the collecting unit 6 of the box tissues 4, which is the packaged item, is taken as W, the length of the shorter side of the top surface 41 (61) is taken as H, the length in the height direction is taken as L, and the length between the upper base and lower base of the trapezoidal flaps 831, 832 is taken as D, it is preferable that D is less than half of H. If this relationship is satisfied, the opening 90 can be formed in the top surface 61 of the collecting unit 6.

[0059] Note that the length of the short side of the opening 90 described above, i.e., the length between the trapezoidal flap 831 and the trapezoidal flap 832, is the same dimension as the width of the strip-shaped member 10, but this is not limitative and the length of the short side of the opening 90 may be shorter than the width of the strip-shaped member 10. According to this embodiment, the accumulation unit 6 is covered by the strip-shaped member 10 and the exterior member 8. In other words, the opening 90 is completely blocked by the strip-shaped member 10, so that the accumulation unit 6 inside can be more reliably prevented from becoming soiled.

[0060] Next, as in the case of the packaging body 2, the packaging body 20 is manufactured by continuously transporting multiple stacked units 6 from left to right in the figure, as shown in Figure 10, and performing operations in order from (a) to (j).

[0061] First, in stage (a), the prepared accumulation unit 6 is arranged so that the front side surface 63a where the front side surface 43a of the box tissues 4 is located is on the lower side in FIG. 10, the rear side surface 63b where the rear side surface 43b of the box tissues 4 is located is on the upper side in FIG. 10, the top surface 61 where the top surface 41 of the box tissues 4 is located is on the front side in FIG. 10, the bottom surface 62 where the bottom surface 42 of the box tissues 4 is located is on the rear side in FIG. 10, the left end surface 64a where the left end surface 44a of the box tissues 4 is located is on the left side in FIG. 10, and the right end surface 64b where the right end surface 44b of the box tissues 4 is located is on the right side in FIG. 10.

[0062] After being arranged as described above, the steps (b) and thereafter are carried out in the same manner as in the case of the package 2.

[0063] Here, the exterior member 8 prepared in the step (e) has one-side perforations 87a and 88a provided at predetermined positions.

[0064] Furthermore, in the stage (h), the folding pieces 87, 88 including the one-piece perforations 87a, 88a are folded along the top surface 61. Accordingly, trapezoidal flaps 831, 832 are formed on the side of the top surface 61. Then, in the stages (i) and (j), the trapezoidal flaps 831, 832 are folded along the top surface, thereby forming the opening 90.

[0065] On the other hand, the pair of trapezoidal flaps 83 formed on the bottom surface 62 side in the step (h) are sized to overlap each other. This pair of flaps 83, 83 is folded along the bottom surface 62 in the steps (i) and (j). As a result, no opening is formed on the bottom surface 62 side.

[0066] Here, this embodiment is not limited to an embodiment in which no opening is formed in the bottom surface 62, and an embodiment in which an opening 90 and one-side perforations 87a, 88a extending along both sides of the belt-shaped member 10 are formed in the bottom surface 62 as in the top surface 61. According to this embodiment, the belt-shaped member 10 can be removed from the bottom surface 62 as well.

[0067] As described above, the process proceeds in order, and when the process reaches the stage (j), the package 20 is obtained. In the packaging body 20, the opening 90 constituting the removal means is formed by adjusting the size of the trapezoidal flaps 831, 832, but the method of forming this opening 90 is not limited to adjusting the size of the trapezoidal flaps 831, 832, and the opening may also be formed by providing a hole at a predetermined position in the exterior member 8.

[0068] Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment and various modifications are possible. In the above-described embodiment, an accumulation unit consisting of multiple stacked boxed products was used as the packaged item. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and a single boxed product alone may be used as the packaged item. Furthermore, while the above-described embodiment uses a boxed rectangular parallelepiped product as the packaged item, the present invention can also use a substantially rectangular parallelepiped product enclosed in a plastic packaging bag as the packaged item. This substantially rectangular parallelepiped product enclosed in a plastic packaging bag may be a single product or may be an accumulation unit consisting of multiple products stacked together. In this way, when a product is enclosed in a plastic packaging bag, the problem of the tissue or other product contained therein being exposed to moisture can be avoided. In other words, since the present invention uses a paper material for the exterior member, there is a risk of moisture penetrating the interior. However, by using a product enclosed in a plastic packaging bag as the packaged item, the vulnerability of the paper exterior member to moisture can be overcome. [Explanation of symbols]
