Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE The present disclosure relates to paper towel packages. [Background technology]

[0002] 2. Description of the Related Art Roll product packages in which a plurality of roll products are packaged in a film are often provided with perforations for opening.

[0003] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a package in which multiple roll products are packaged in film, and by specifying the position and dimensions of perforations for opening, an opening can be easily formed to make it easy to remove the roll products.

[0004] Furthermore, Patent Document 2 discloses a package in which multiple roll products are wrapped in film, and the material of the packaging bag has the property of being torn linearly in one direction, and furthermore, a linear cut (notch) is formed that extends in the same direction as this direction, making the package easy to open.

[0005] In film packaging bags containing multiple roll products, valleys form between the rolls, causing the film to be stretched, so providing perforations in the axial direction of the roll products makes them easier to open.However, if there are perforations in the valleys, stress is placed on the perforations when lifting the product by hand, which can lead to unintentional opening.

[0006] Therefore, if the strength of the perforations is increased in order to prevent unintentional opening, it may become difficult to open. Also, if the thickness of the film is too thin, it may lead to accidental opening of the perforations, and if it is too thick, it may become difficult to open.

[0007] Furthermore, Patent Document 3 discloses a package in which one roll product is caramel-wrapped in a resin film, which has heat-sealed adhesive sections on the top and bottom in a predetermined pattern and perforations for opening in the width direction (axial direction) of the roll product from the top to the bottom, making it easy to remove the roll product and preventing it from tearing in unintended circumstances such as when dropped.

[0008] However, when perforations are provided along the axial direction of the roll product rather than in the valleys between rolls, if the roll softness of the packaged roll product is too hard, fingers slip when opening the product, making it difficult to transmit force to the perforations, making it difficult to open the perforations. On the other hand, if the roll product is bulky and soft, fingers dig into the roll, making it easy for the roll to be crushed, making it easy to open incorrectly. Furthermore, while increasing the strength of the perforations can prevent incorrect opening, the perforations become difficult to open, so applying force to the fingers can crush the roll or sheet, resulting in problems such as the bulk and absorbency not being able to be maintained.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0026] Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail. However, the following embodiment is presented for illustrative purposes, and the present invention is not limited to the embodiment shown below.

[0027] In this specification, the term "paper towel package" (hereinafter simply referred to as "package") means a roll product in which paper towels are wound into a roll and packaged in a resin film.

[0028] The "MD direction" refers to the direction in which the paper towel runs through the machine, and the "CD direction" refers to the direction perpendicular to the MD direction. In this specification, the "MD direction of the roll product" refers to the direction in which the paper towel is wound (the Y direction in FIG. 2), and the "CD direction of the roll product" refers to the direction perpendicular to the direction in which the paper towel is wound (the X direction in FIG. 2). As shown in FIG. 1, when the roll product 20 is inserted axially into a cylindrical resin film and both axial ends of the roll product 20 are heat-sealed, the "MD direction of the resin film" is the X direction in FIG. 1, and the "CD direction of the resin film" is the Y direction in FIG. 1. The resin film may be packaged with the MD and CD directions reversed.

[0029] In this specification, "axial direction" means the axial direction of the roll product, which is the same as the CD direction of the roll product, and is the X direction in FIGS.

[0030] In this specification, "mis-opening under unintended circumstances" means that the perforation opens unexpectedly during processing, transportation, dropping, or handling of the package.

[0031] <Paper towel packaging> As shown in FIG. 1, the paper towel package 10 of the present invention is a roll product 20 in which three rolls of paper towel 20a shown in FIG. 2 are wound into a roll shape, and the roll product 20 is caramel-wrapped in a resin film 30.

[0032] The details of each component are as follows:

[0033] <Paper towels> The paper towel 20a can be made into the roll product 20 by layering base papers after a papermaking process, embossing them as needed, and then winding them into a roll. Alternatively, the base papers may be embossed before being layered and wound into a roll.

[0034] Paper towel 20a is preferably manufactured by a TAD (through-air drying) papermaking method, which is a method of drying by ventilation (preferably without press-dehydrating wet paper) during the dehydration and drying step of the papermaking process. By manufacturing paper towel 20a by the TAD papermaking method, it is possible to obtain paper towel 20a that is bulky, soft, and has excellent water absorbency.

[0035] The paper towel 20a is preferably a sheet having two or more embossed plies. The number of plies of the paper towel 20a is more preferably two to three, and even more preferably two. By forming the embossed paper towel 20a and stacking it in two or more plies, the roll product 20 has elasticity, making it easier to hook a finger when opening the package 10. Furthermore, it is preferable that the embossed ply is provided only on one ply on the surface side of the roll.

[0036] (paper thickness) The paper thickness per 10 plies of the paper towel 20a (hereinafter simply referred to as "paper thickness of the paper towel 20a") is preferably 2.0 mm / 10 plies or more and 4.5 mm / 10 plies or less. If the paper thickness of the paper towel 20a is less than 2.0 mm / 10 plies, the absorbency will be poor, and if it exceeds 4.5 mm / 10 plies, the roll will be too stiff and the package will be difficult to open. The lower limit of the paper thickness of the paper towel 20a is more preferably 2.3 mm / 10 plies or more, and even more preferably 2.6 mm / 10 plies or more. The upper limit is more preferably 3.8 mm / 10 plies or less, and even more preferably 3.3 mm / 10 plies or less.

[0037] The paper thickness was measured using the following method. A thickness gauge (Ozaki Seisakusho's "PEACOCK" dial thickness gauge) was used. The measurement conditions were a load of 3.7 kPa, a probe diameter of 30 mm, and a sample placed between the probe and the measuring table. The gauge reading was taken when the probe was lowered at a speed of 1 mm per second or less. To measure the thickness of a 10-ply sheet, 10 plies (5 sets of 2-ply sheets) were stacked and measured 10 times, and the results were averaged. For a 3-ply sheet, 9 plies (3 sets of 3-ply sheets) were stacked and measured, and the thickness of one ply was calculated from the measurement results and converted to 10 plies. The thickness was measured at 10 points: five different points in the MD (Y direction in Figure 2) of the sheet, and five points shifted from these five points in the CD (X direction in Figure 2). While it is important to measure the thickness at 10 different points, the exact locations are not important.

[0038] (Basic weight) The basis weight of the product ply of the paper towel 20a is 30 g / m 2 More than 56g / m 2 The following is preferred: The basis weight of the product ply of the paper towel 20a is 30 g / m 2 If it is less than 56g / m, the absorbency is poor. 2 If the weight exceeds 100g / m², the roll becomes too hard and the package becomes difficult to open. 2 More preferably, 38 g / m 2More preferably, the upper limit is 53 g / m 2 Less than 48g / m is more preferable. 2 The following is more preferable: The basis weight is measured in accordance with JIS P 8124.

[0039] (specific volume) The specific volume of paper towel 20a is 12cm 3 / g or more 18cm 3 / g or less. 3 If it is less than 18cm / g, the absorbency is poor. 3 If the specific volume of the paper towel 20a exceeds 13 cm / g, the roll becomes too hard and the package becomes difficult to open. 3 / g or more is more preferable, and 14cm 3 / g or more is more preferable. The upper limit is 17 cm 3 / g or less is more preferable, and 16cm 3 The specific volume of the paper towel 20a is calculated by dividing the paper thickness of a predetermined number of plies (for example, product plies) of the paper towel 20a by the basis weight of the predetermined number of plies, and is expressed as a volume cm per unit g. 3 It is expressed as:

[0040] (Water absorption) The water absorption per unit area of ​​the paper towel 20a is 330 g / m 2 More than 600g / m 2 The water absorption capacity of the paper towel 20a is 330 g / m 2 If it is less than 600g / m, the absorbency will be poor. 2 If the temperature exceeds 100°C, the rolled product 20 becomes too hard to open, making it difficult to open the package 10. The lower limit of the amount of water absorption per unit area is 350 g / m 2 More than 380g / m 2 More preferably, the upper limit is 550 g / m 2 Preferably less than 500 g / m 2 The following is even more preferred:

[0041] The amount of water absorbed by the paper towel 20a in a dry state is measured in accordance with the following method. First, two plies of paper towel are taken and cut using a square template with each piece measuring 7.6 cm (3 inches) to prepare a rectangular test piece 200 (see FIG. 6) with each side measuring 7.6 cm. The mass of the test piece 200 before water absorption is measured using an electronic balance. The test piece 200 is set in a holder 220 (a jig that fixes three points of the test piece, made of a metal that does not absorb water).

[0042] Next, distilled water is poured into a commercially available tray to a depth of 2 cm, and the test piece 200 set in the holder 220 is immersed in the distilled water for 2 minutes. After immersion for 2 minutes, the test piece 200 and holder 220 are removed from the distilled water, and as shown in FIG. 6, a strip 210 is attached to one corner 200d of the test piece 200. The strip 210 is made by peeling the same paper towel as the two plies of paper towel to be measured into one ply, cutting this paper towel into a piece measuring 2 mm x 15 mm, and attaching it to a portion of the test piece 200 6 mm from the corner 200d toward the center. Next, the holder 220 and test piece 200 are hung from a rod placed in an empty water tank with the corner 200a opposite corner 200d facing up, and the lid of the water tank is closed and left for 15 minutes.

[0043] Thereafter, the holder 220 and the test piece 200 are taken out of the water tank, the band 210 and the holder 220 are removed, and the mass of the test piece 200 is measured using an electronic balance. From the change in mass of the test piece 200 before and after immersion in distilled water, the amount of distilled water absorbed per unit area of ​​the test piece 200 (g of water / sheet m 2 , 1m 2 Hit. Abbreviated as g / m 2 ) is calculated. Measurements are carried out five times for each sample, and the average value is used.

[0044] For three-ply paper towels, it is preferable to measure using the same procedure as for two-ply. This measurement is performed according to JIS P 8111 at a temperature of 23±1°C and humidity of 50±2%. The distilled water is kept at 23±1°C.

[0045] (embossed area ratio) The embossed area ratio of the paper towel 20a (hereinafter simply referred to as the "embossed area ratio") is preferably 8% or more and 22% or less. If the embossed area ratio is less than 8%, the paper towel 20a is smooth and difficult to catch fingers on, making the package 10 difficult to open. If the embossed area ratio exceeds 22%, the paper towel 20a is crushed, making the roll product 20 less flexible and making the package 10 difficult to open. In other words, by setting the embossed area ratio within the above range, even if pressure from the resin film 30 or adjacent roll products 20 is applied to the paper towel 20a, the embossing is less likely to be crushed, and the absorbency and softness of the paper towel 20a can be maintained. The lower limit of the embossed area ratio is more preferably 9% or more, and even more preferably 10% or more. The upper limit is more preferably 18% or less, and even more preferably 16% or less.

[0046] The embossed area ratio is determined by measuring the surface side of the paper towel 20a (the outer surface of the roll) corresponding to the top 10% of the roll product 20 with a ruler or tape measure, measuring the area, and converting it into a ratio per unit area (area ratio). When the embossing is difficult to see with the naked eye or when the embossing width is narrow, it is preferable to measure the area using a microscope VR-3000 (manufactured by Keyence Corporation). The top 10% of the roll product 20 refers to the outermost 10% of the roll product 20 (the portion close to the roll surface). For example, if the roll length of the roll product 20 is 30 m, this refers to the first 3 m of use.

[0047] The above area ratio is determined by measuring the total length of embossments that are 0.1 mm to 4 mm thick and 5 mm or longer inside a rectangle E that includes all of one embossing pattern, as shown in Figure 5, and then calculating the embossed area by multiplying the total length (mm) by the width (mm). The area per sheet of paper towel 20a is calculated as (sheet length x sheet width), and then calculating (embossed area / area per sheet of paper towel 20a) x 100 (%). If it is difficult to determine the embossed area ratio, the area ratio of the convex portions of the embossing roll used in embossing can be considered to be the area per sheet of paper towel 20a.

[0048] The size of one side of this rectangle E can be changed as appropriate depending on the size of the embossed pattern. Furthermore, if the rectangle that contains all of the embossed patterns contains an embossed pattern adjacent to an embossed pattern contained within the rectangle, the length of the adjacent embossed pattern is also measured and included in the total length. If the size of one side of rectangle E cannot be clearly determined depending on the embossed pattern, the size of rectangle E is set to 10 x 10 cm, and the total length of the embossments contained within this rectangle E is measured. The total length is determined using the method described above.

[0049] <Roll products> As shown in Fig. 2, the roll product 20 of this embodiment is formed by winding paper towels 20a into a roll. The roll product 20 has a core 21, such as a cylindrical paper core or a cylindrical space, in the center, with the outer diameter (winding diameter) of the roll product 20 being DR and the outer diameter of the core 21 being DI. Of the two surfaces of the paper towel 20a, the surface facing the outside of the roll product 20 is referred to as the front surface 22 of the paper towel 20a, and the surface facing the core 21 of the roll product 20 is referred to as the back surface 23 of the paper towel 20a. Preferably, the paper towel 20a has easy-to-tear portions (not shown) such as perforations at predetermined intervals so that it can be cut to a predetermined length.

[0050] (core) The core 21 is located at the center of the roll product 20. The core 21 may be a cylindrical cardboard tube or a cylindrical space. In this embodiment, the core 21 of the roll product 20 has a cylindrical cardboard tube made of multiple layers of base paper, and the paper towel 20a is wound around the cardboard tube. In the following description, the core 21 refers to the core 21 that is a cylindrical cardboard tube unless otherwise specified.

[0051] The core 21 preferably contains LBKP (bleached hardwood kraft pulp) as the pulp fiber contained in the base paper. That is, the core 21 preferably contains LBKP. The LBKP content is preferably 50% by mass or more, more preferably 70% by mass or more, and even more preferably 90% by mass or more. By including LBKP in the core 21, the product has a luxurious feel.

[0052] (Core outer diameter (DI)) The outer diameter (DI in FIG. 2) of the core 21 (hereinafter also referred to as the "core outer diameter DI") is preferably 28 mm or more and 58 mm or less. If the core outer diameter DI is less than 28 mm, the winding diameter (outer diameter) DR (hereinafter also simply referred to as the "winding diameter DR") of the roll product 20 becomes too small, making the package 10 less tight and difficult to open. On the other hand, if the core outer diameter DI exceeds 58 mm, the winding diameter DR of the roll product 20 becomes too large, making the package 10 more tight and prone to unintentional opening. The lower limit of the core outer diameter DI is more preferably 32 mm or more, and even more preferably 36 mm or more. The upper limit is more preferably 52 mm or less, and even more preferably 48 mm or less.

[0053] The core outer diameter DI is measured, for example, using a diameter rule manufactured by Muratec KDS Co., Ltd. Three roll products 20 are measured and the measurement results are averaged. In the case of a roll product 20 without a core, the diameter of the cylindrical space (center hole) at the center of the roll product 20 is regarded as the core outer diameter DI.

[0054] (core mass) The mass of the core 21 (hereinafter also referred to as "core mass") is preferably 10 g or more and 25 g or less. If the core mass is less than 10 g, the diameter of the core 21 becomes small, and the winding diameter DR of the roll product 20 becomes too small, making the package 10 less tight and difficult to open. On the other hand, if the core mass exceeds 25 g, the diameter of the core 21 becomes large, and the winding diameter DR of the roll product 20 becomes too large, making the package 10 less tight and more likely to be opened unintentionally. The lower limit of the core mass is more preferably 12 g or more, and even more preferably 13 g or more. The upper limit is more preferably 22 g or less, and even more preferably 19 g or less. The core mass is defined as the mass per 280 mm of roll width W. If the roll width W is not 280 mm, it is converted to the mass per 280 mm by proportional calculation. The roll width W refers to the axial length of the roll product 20.

[0055] (Apparent basis weight of core) The apparent basis weight of the core 21 (the basis weight of the core made up of multiple layers of base paper) is 280 g / m 2 More than 530g / m 2 The core 21 preferably has an apparent basis weight of 280 g / m 2 If the apparent basis weight of the core 21 is less than 530 g / m, the core 21 will be easily crushed, making it difficult to open the package 10. 2 If the apparent basis weight of the core 21 exceeds 330 g / m, the core 21 becomes hard, and after the roll product 20 is used up, it is difficult to fold (crush) the core 21 and discard it, which makes the roll product 20 less user-friendly. 2 More preferably, 380 g / m 2 More preferably, the upper limit is 480 g / m 2 Less than 430 g / m is more preferable. 2 The following is more preferable: The apparent basis weight of the core 21 is measured in accordance with JIS P 8124.

[0056] (Reel diameter (DR)) The roll diameter (DR in FIG. 2) (hereinafter also referred to as "roll diameter DR") of the roll product 20 is preferably 125 mm or more and 175 mm or less. If the roll diameter DR is less than 125 mm, the roll diameter DR of the roll product 20 becomes too small, making the package 10 less tight and difficult to open. On the other hand, if the roll diameter DR exceeds 175 mm, the roll diameter DR of the roll product 20 becomes too large, making the package 10 more tight and prone to unintentional erroneous opening. The lower limit of the above range of the roll diameter DR is more preferably 135 mm or more, and even more preferably 145 mm or more. The upper limit is more preferably 170 mm or less, and even more preferably 165 mm or less.

[0057] (Volume length) The winding length of the roll product 20 (hereinafter simply referred to as "winding length") is preferably 20 m or more and 50 m or less. If the winding length is shorter than 20 m, the winding diameter DR of the roll product 20 becomes too small, making the package 10 less tight and difficult to open. On the other hand, if the winding length exceeds 50 m, the winding diameter DR of the roll product 20 becomes too large, making the package 10 more tight and prone to unintentional erroneous opening. The lower limit of the winding length is more preferably 23 m or more, and even more preferably 25 m or more. The upper limit is more preferably 47 m or less, and even more preferably 43 m or less.

[0058] (Roll width (W)) The roll width (W in FIG. 2) of the roll product 20 (hereinafter also referred to as "roll width W") is preferably 200 mm or more and 400 mm or less. If the roll width W is less than 200 mm, the package 10 will not be tight enough and will be difficult to open. On the other hand, if the roll width W exceeds 400 mm, the package 10 will be too tight and will be prone to unintentional opening. The lower limit of the roll width W is more preferably 230 mm or more, and even more preferably 250 mm or more. The upper limit is more preferably 350 mm or less, and even more preferably 300 mm or less. The "roll width W" refers to the length of the roll product 20 in the axial direction.

[0059] (winding density) The winding density of the roll product 20 (hereinafter also simply referred to as "winding density") is 0.15 m / cm2 More than 0.60m / cm 2 The winding density is preferably 0.15 m / cm or less. 2 If the winding density is less than 0.60 m / cm, the roll product 20 becomes too soft, which can lead to unintentional opening of the package 10. 2 If the winding density exceeds 0.25 m / cm, the roll product 20 becomes too hard, making it difficult to open the package 10. 2 More preferably, 0.29 m / cm or more 2 The upper limit is preferably 0.55 m / cm. 2 Less than 0.50m / cm is more preferable. 2 The following is even more preferred:

[0060] The winding density can be calculated using the following formula (1). Winding density = (winding length × number of plies) ÷ (cross-sectional area of ​​roll product 20) (1) The cross-sectional area of ​​the roll material 20 can be calculated by the following formula (2). Cross-sectional area of ​​the rolled product 20=(cross-sectional area of ​​the rolled product 20 at the winding diameter DR)−(cross-sectional area of ​​the core outer diameter DI) (2) For example, in the case of a winding length of 20 m, 2 plies, winding diameter (DR) of 154 mm, and core outer diameter (DI) of 44 mm, winding density = (20 m × 2) ÷ {3.14 × (154 mm ÷ 2 ÷ 10)} 2 -3.14×(44mm÷2÷10) 2}=0.23m / cm 2 This becomes:

[0061] (Rolling softness) The winding softness of the roll product 20 (hereinafter simply referred to as "winding softness") is 1.2 mm or more and 4.0 mm or less. If the winding softness is less than 1.2 mm, the roll product 20 becomes too hard, making it difficult to open the package 10. On the other hand, if the winding softness exceeds 4.0 mm, the roll product 20 becomes too soft, causing the package 10 to be unintentionally opened by mistake. The lower limit of the winding softness is preferably 1.4 mm or more, and more preferably 1.6 mm or more. The upper limit is preferably 3.6 mm or less, and more preferably 3.0 mm or less.

[0062] Here, the roll softness means the softness of the roll product 20 when held in the hand, and can be evaluated by the following method.

[0063] The winding softness of the roll material 20 is measured using a compression tester (handy compression tester KES-G5 manufactured by Kato Tech Co., Ltd.) as follows: The direction parallel to the axial direction of the roll material 20 is defined as the height direction, and the direction perpendicular to the tangent to the circumference of the roll material 20 is defined as the radial direction.

[0064] First, the roll material 20 is placed horizontally on the table of the tester so that the axial direction of the roll material 20 is horizontal. Then, the KES-G5 compression tool (contact area 2.0 cm) is placed at the center of the axial direction of the roll material 20. 2 ) is pressed from above in the radial direction at a speed of 10 mm / min. The pressure with which the compressing element presses the roll is 5 gf / cm 2 The indentation depth when the pressure is 150gf / cm 2 The indentation depth at this time is T m As, (T m Next, the roll product 20 is rotated 90 degrees in the circumferential direction around its axis as the axis of rotation, and the pressing depth T m and T0 are measured, and T m and T0 (T m -T0) is calculated. Measurement is performed twice (at two angles) for one roll product 20 as described above. That is, for three roll products 20, each is measured twice, and the average of the measurement results for a total of six times (=2 times / product x 3 products) is used as the final winding softness.

[0065] (Roll mass <with core>) The roll mass of the roll product 20 including the core 21 (cardboard tube) per 280 mm roll width W (hereinafter simply referred to as "roll mass (with core)") is preferably 200 g or more and 630 g or less. If the roll mass (with core) is less than 200 g, the reel diameter DR becomes too small, the package 10 becomes less tight, and the package 10 becomes difficult to open. If the roll mass (with core) exceeds 630 g, the reel diameter DR becomes too large, the package 10 becomes too tight, and the package 10 may be opened unintentionally. The lower limit of the roll mass (with core) is more preferably 250 g or more, and more preferably 300 g or more. The upper limit is more preferably 580 g or less, and even more preferably 420 g or less.

[0066] (Roll mass <without core>) The roll mass of the roll product 20 per 280 mm roll width W, excluding the core 21 (paper tube) (hereinafter simply referred to as "roll mass <without core>"), is preferably 190 g or more and 620 g or less. If the roll mass <without core> is less than 190 g, the winding diameter DR becomes too small, the package 10 becomes less tight, and the package 10 becomes difficult to open. If the roll mass <without core> exceeds 620 g, the winding diameter DR becomes too large, the package 10 becomes too tight, and the package 10 may be unintentionally opened by mistake. The lower limit of the roll mass <without core> is more preferably 240 g or more, and even more preferably 290 g or more. The upper limit is more preferably 570 g or less, and even more preferably 410 g or less.

[0067] (roll density) The roll density of the roll product 20 (hereinafter also simply referred to as "roll density") is 0.03 g / cm 3 More than 0.20g / cm 3 It is preferable that the roll density is 0.03 g / cm or less. 3 If the roll density is less than 0.20 g / cm, the roll product 20 becomes too soft, which can lead to unintentional opening of the package 10. 3 If the density exceeds 0.05 g / cm, the roll product 20 becomes too hard, making it difficult to open the package 10. The lower limit of the roll density is 0.05 g / cm. 3More preferably, 0.06 g / cm or more 3 The upper limit is 0.15 g / cm. 3 Less than 0.10 g / cm is more preferable. 3 The following is even more preferred:

[0068] The roll density of the roll product 20 can be calculated by (roll mass of the roll product 20 <without core>) / (volume of the roll product 20), and is obtained from the following formula (3). Roll density = roll mass ÷ [{(cross-sectional area of ​​the roll product 20 at the winding diameter DR (outer diameter)) - (cross-sectional area of ​​the core outer diameter DI)} × roll width W (calculated based on 280 mm)] (3) For example, if the roll mass (without core) per roll width W280 mm is 237 g, the reel diameter (DR) is 154 mm, and the core outer diameter (DI) is 44 mm, then the roll density = 237 g ÷ {(3.14 × (154 mm ÷ 2 ÷ 10) 2 -3.14×(44mm÷2÷10) 2 )×(280mm÷10)}=0.05g / cm 3 This becomes:

[0069] <Paper towel packaging> As shown in FIG. 1, the paper towel package 10 is made by caramel-wrapping three roll products 20 in a resin film 30 so that both axial (X-direction) end surfaces of the roll products 20 face the top surface 11 and bottom surface 12 of the package 10, respectively.

[0070] (Number of rolls) The number of roll products 20 packed in the package 10 is three (rolls). If there are two rolls in the package, fingers will get caught in the valleys of the roll products 20 when the package 10 is held in the hand, causing accidental opening. On the other hand, if there are four or more rolls in the package 10, the weight of the package 10 becomes too heavy and accidental opening will occur.

[0071] <Resin film> The resin film (hereinafter simply referred to as "film") 30 used to package the roll product 20 may be formed of a single layer or multiple layers. The material of the film 30 is preferably a thermoplastic resin suitable for recycling. Specific examples of thermoplastic resins include polyolefin (polyethylene, polypropylene, etc.), polyester (PET, etc.), polyamide (nylon, etc.), polycarbonate, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, etc. Among these, polyethylene film is preferred from the viewpoint of fully exhibiting the effects of this embodiment.

[0072] (film thickness) The thickness of the resin film 30 is preferably 18 μm or more and 52 μm or less. If the thickness of the film 30 is less than 18 μm, the resin film 30 is likely to be accidentally opened during packaging processing or when the package 10 is held by hand. On the other hand, if the thickness of the film 30 exceeds 52 μm, it becomes difficult to open the perforations 15. The lower limit of the thickness of the film 30 is more preferably 21 μm or more, and even more preferably 25 μm or more. The upper limit is more preferably 45 μm or less, and even more preferably 35 μm or less. The thickness of the resin film 30 can be measured in accordance with JIS K 7130.

[0073] (Film tensile strength (MD direction)) The tensile strength of the resin film 30 in the MD direction is preferably 13 N / 15 mm or more and 32 N / 15 mm or less. If the tensile strength of the film 30 in the MD direction is less than 13 N / 15 mm, the strength of the resin film 30 will be weak, making it easier for fingers to dig into the package 10 when held by hand, resulting in unintentional opening. On the other hand, if the tensile strength of the film 30 in the MD direction exceeds 32 N / 15 mm, the strength of the resin film 30 will be too strong and stiff, making the package 10 difficult to open. The lower limit of the tensile strength of the film 30 in the MD direction is more preferably 16 N / 15 mm or more, and even more preferably 18 N / 15 mm or more. The upper limit is more preferably 29 N / 15 mm or less, and even more preferably 27 N / 15 mm or less. The tensile strength of the resin film 30 can be measured in accordance with JIS K 7127.

[0074] (Film tensile strength (CD direction)) The tensile strength of the resin film 30 in the CD direction is preferably 11 N / 15 mm or more and 30 N / 15 mm or less. If the tensile strength of the film 30 in the CD direction is less than 11 N / 15 mm, the strength of the resin film 30 will be weak, making it easier for fingers to dig into the package 10 when held by hand, resulting in unintentional opening. On the other hand, if the tensile strength of the film 30 in the CD direction exceeds 30 N / 15 mm, the strength of the resin film 30 will be too strong and stiff, making the package 10 difficult to open. The lower limit of the tensile strength of the film 30 in the CD direction is more preferably 14 N / 15 mm or more, and even more preferably 16 N / 15 mm or more. The upper limit is more preferably 27 N / 15 mm or less, and even more preferably 25 N / 15 mm or less. The tensile strength of the resin film 30 can be measured in accordance with JIS K 7127.

[0075] (Caramel packaging) The roll products 20 are arranged in parallel with their axial directions parallel to one another and are then wrapped in caramel wrap with the resin film 30. Caramel wrap is a well-known method.

[0076] For example, multiple roll products 20 are placed on a sheet-like film 30 so that their axial directions are parallel to each other, and in this state, the film 30 is wrapped around the circumferential surface of the roll product 20 to form a tube, and the portions where both ends of the film 30 overlap with the circumferential surface of the roll product 20 are heat-sealed (not shown) along the axial direction (X direction).

[0077] Alternatively, a plurality of roll products 20 arranged so that their axial directions are parallel to one another are raised from below the set sheet-like film 30 to the sheet surface (lower surface side) of the film 30. In this state, the film 30 is wrapped around the circumferential surface of the roll product 20 to form a cylindrical shape, and the portions where both ends of the film 30 overlap with the circumferential surface of the roll product 20 are heat-sealed (not shown) along the axial direction (X direction).

[0078] Alternatively, a plurality of roll products 20 are arranged so that their axial directions are parallel to one another and inserted in the axial direction (X direction) from one end of the opening of a film 30 that has been formed into a cylindrical shape in advance.

[0079] Then, of the film 30 protruding from both ends of the multiple roll products 20, two opposing flap-shaped sides are folded toward each other, and then another two opposing flap-shaped sides are similarly folded toward each other, and these folded portions are sealed by heat sealing or the like. The area sealed by this heat sealing becomes the heat-sealed adhesive portion 14 shown by hatching in Figures 1 and 3.

[0080] (heat seal) As shown in Fig. 3, the top surface 11 and bottom surface 12 of the paper towel package 10 have a caramel packaging surface, and furthermore, the top surface 11 is provided with a heat-sealed adhesive portion 14 having a predetermined pattern. It is preferable that the heat-sealed adhesive portion 14 is also provided on the bottom surface 12 of the package 10. Note that the pattern of the heat-sealed adhesive portion 14 is not limited to the linear pattern shown in Figs. 1 and 3, and may be a grid, a plane, a wavy line, or any other pattern that allows the top surface 11 and bottom surface 12 to be adhered.

[0081] (perforation) The package 10 is provided with perforations 15 for opening to remove the roll products 20. The perforations 15 are provided on at least the side surface 13 of the top surface 11, bottom surface 12, and side surfaces 13 of the package 10, along the axial direction of one of the roll products 20. For example, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the perforations 15 are provided along the axial direction of the roll products 20 from the top surface 11 to the bottom surface 12 via the side surfaces 13 of the package 10. In FIG. 1, the perforations 15 are provided on the leftmost roll product 20, but they may also be provided on roll products 20 other than the leftmost. The perforations 15 are preferably provided parallel to the axial direction of the roll product 20 (the X direction in FIG. 1), but may also be provided at an angle to the axial direction.

[0082] In this way, the perforations 15 for opening are provided along the axial direction of the roll product 20. This reduces the load on the perforations 15 when the package 10 is lifted by hand, unlike when the perforations are provided in the valleys between multiple roll products 20, and prevents the perforations 15 from unintentionally opening. In this embodiment, the perforations 15 are provided on the top surface 11, bottom surface 12, and side surface 13, but it is sufficient that they are provided on at least the side surface 13. Furthermore, when the perforations 15 are provided on the side surface 13, the perforations 15 may be provided from top to bottom of the side surface 13, or may be provided in the middle portion of the side surface 13.

[0083] (Perforation configuration) As shown in Fig. 4, the perforation 15 of this embodiment is formed by alternating linear arrangement of perforated cutout portions 15a that penetrate the resin film 30 constituting the package 10 in the thickness direction and non-perforated cutout portions 15b where the resin film 30 remains intact. The non-perforated cutout portions 15b are areas sandwiched between the perforated cutout portions 15a on both sides. The arrangement of the perforated cutout portions 15a and the non-perforated cutout portions 15b in the perforation 15 may be curved, but is preferably linear.

[0084] (Length of perforation cut) The length L1 of one of the cut portions 15a of the perforation 15 (hereinafter simply referred to as "cut portions") is preferably 0.5 mm or more and 4.5 mm or less. If the length L1 of the cut portion 15a is less than 0.5 mm, the strength of the perforation 15 is too strong, making it difficult to open the package 10. If the length L1 of the cut portion 15a exceeds 4.5 mm, the strength of the perforation 15 is weakened, causing the package 10 to be unintentionally opened by mistake. The lower limit of the length L1 of the cut portion 15a is more preferably 0.7 mm or more, and even more preferably 1.0 mm or more. The upper limit is more preferably 3.5 mm or less, and even more preferably 2.5 mm or less.

[0085] (length of uncut part of perforation) The length L2 of one of the non-cut portions 15b of the perforation 15 (hereinafter simply referred to as "non-cut portion") is preferably 0.2 mm or more and 5.0 mm or less. If the length L2 of the non-cut portion 15b is less than 0.2 mm, the strength of the perforation 15 will be weak, and the package 10 will be easily opened. If the length L2 of the non-cut portion 15b is more than 5.0 mm, the strength of the perforation 15 will be too strong, making it difficult to open the package 10. The lower limit of the length L2 of the cut portion 15b is more preferably 0.3 mm or more, and even more preferably 0.5 mm or more. The upper limit is more preferably 2.0 mm or less, and even more preferably 1.0 mm or less.

[0086] (Perforation bond rate) The bond ratio of the perforation 15 is preferably 6% or more and 60% or less. If the bond ratio of the perforation 15 is less than 6%, the strength of the perforation 15 will be weak, and the package 10 will be easily opened. On the other hand, if the bond ratio of the perforation 15 is more than 60%, the strength of the perforation 15 will be too strong, making the package 10 difficult to open. The lower limit of the bond ratio of the perforation 15 is more preferably 10% or more, and even more preferably 20% or more. The upper limit is more preferably 40% or less, and even more preferably 35% or less.

[0087] The bond ratio of the perforation 15 is calculated by first calculating the total length of the non-cut portions 15b (the sum of L2). Next, the total length of the cut portions 15a (the sum of L1) and the total length of the non-cut portions 15b (the sum of L2) are added together to calculate (L3). Then, the bond ratio is calculated by dividing (the sum of L2) by (L3). Perforation bond rate = (total of L2) ÷ (L3) × 100 L3 = (sum of L1 + sum of L2)

[0088] (tensile strength of perforation) The tensile strength of the perforation 15 is 2.3 N / 50 mm or more and 25.0 N / 50 mm or less. If the tensile strength of the perforation 15 is less than 2.3 N / 50 mm, the strength of the perforation 15 will be weak, and the package 10 will be prone to unintentional erroneous opening. On the other hand, if the tensile strength of the perforation 15 exceeds 25.0 N / 50 mm, the strength of the perforation 15 will be too strong, making the package 10 difficult to open. The lower limit of the tensile strength of the perforation 15 is preferably 3.5 N / 50 mm or more, and more preferably 4.0 N / 50 mm. The upper limit is preferably 20.0 N / 50 mm or less, and even more preferably 15.0 N / 50 mm or less.

[0089] The tensile strength of the perforation 15 can be measured, for example, using a Tensilon universal testing machine STB-1225S (manufactured by A&D Co., Ltd.) according to a method conforming to JIS P 8113. The test piece has a width dimension (a direction perpendicular to the tensile direction of the Tensilon universal testing machine) of 50 mm, a distance between the grippers of 100 mm, a tensile speed of 300 mm / min, a measurement temperature of 23°C, a relative humidity of 50%, and a tensile direction in which the perforation is parallel to the tensile direction. The tensile strength is measured multiple times (for example, four times), and the average value is taken as the tensile strength of the perforation 15.

[0090] (Embossed area ratio / perforation tensile strength) The value obtained by dividing the embossed area ratio by the tensile strength of the perforations 15 is preferably 0.15 or more and 3.00 or less. If this value is less than 0.15, the paper towel 20a will be smooth and will not easily catch fingers, and the strength of the perforations 15 will be too strong, making it difficult to open the package 10. On the other hand, if this value exceeds 3.00, the roll product 20 will be too stiff and the strength of the perforations 15 will be too weak, causing the package 10 to be unintentionally opened by mistake. The lower limit of this value is more preferably 0.30 or more, and even more preferably 0.50 or more. The upper limit is more preferably 2.50 or less, and even more preferably 2.00 or less.

[0091] (Rolling softness / perforation tensile strength) The value obtained by dividing the above-mentioned winding flexibility by the tensile strength of the perforations 15 is preferably 0.8 or more and 15.0 or less. If this value is less than 0.8, it is difficult for fingers to catch on the roll product 20, and the strength of the perforations 15 is too strong, making it difficult to open the package 10. On the other hand, if this value exceeds 15.0, the winding flexibility of the roll product 20 becomes hard, and the strength of the perforations 15 is weak, causing the package 10 to be unintentionally opened by mistake. The lower limit of this value is more preferably 1.5 or more, and even more preferably 2.5 or more. The upper limit is more preferably 10.0 or less, and even more preferably 7.0 or less.

[0092] (Manufacturing methods for paper towels and roll products) The paper towel 20a and roll product 20 according to this embodiment can be manufactured, for example, in the following order: (1) papermaking and creping, (2) embossing and adhesive treatment, and (3) roll winding. Note that TAD papermaking technology is preferably used in the manufacturing (papermaking) process of the paper towel 20a.

[0093] In the papermaking process (1), it is preferable that a concave-convex pattern derived from the papermaking process (fabric), different from the embossed pattern described above, is applied to paper towel 20a. By providing this concave-convex pattern, the water absorption capacity of paper towel 20a can be further increased.

[0094] "Derived from the papermaking process" means that, in the papermaking process of paper towel 20a, an uneven pattern is imparted between the head box of the papermaking machine and the outlet of the Yankee dryer. Specifically, in part of the papermaking process shown in Figure 7, unevenness can be imparted in (belt) press section 42, which is arranged between dewatering roll 41 and Yankee dryer 44. In (belt) press section 42, wet paper 40 and uneven fabric 43 (uneven fabric 43 loops between (belt) press section 42 and Yankee dryer 44) are pressed together, thereby imparting an uneven pattern to wet paper 40.

[0095] Although the present invention has been described above based on the above embodiment, the present invention is not limited to the content of the above embodiment, and can be modified as appropriate without departing from the scope of the present invention. In other words, all other embodiments, examples, operational techniques, etc. made by those skilled in the art based on this embodiment are naturally included in the scope of the present invention. [Example]

[0096] The present embodiment will be described in more detail below with reference to examples and comparative examples, but the present invention is not limited to the following examples.

[0097] (Examples 1 to 13, Comparative Examples 1 to 6) For Examples 1 to 13 and Comparative Examples 1 to 6, paper towels and roll products were produced using the above-mentioned paper towel and roll product manufacturing methods under the conditions shown in Tables 1 and 2. Three roll products were caramel-wrapped to produce paper towel packages. Each paper towel package was then evaluated in the following four ways.

[0098] (Ease of opening perforations) A sensory evaluation was conducted by 20 panelists on the "ease of opening the perforation." Each panelist held an unopened paper towel package with both hands, centered on the perforation on the side, and tried to open the perforation by tearing it open to the left and right with the thumbs of both hands. They were asked to select "easy to open" or "difficult to open," and were rated according to the following criteria: ◎: "Easy to open" - 18 or more people ○: "Easy to open": 15 to 17 people △: "Easy to open": 12 to 14 people ×: "Easy to open": 0 to 13 people

[0099] (Difficulty in accidentally opening) The "resistance to accidental opening" was evaluated based on the resistance to accidental tearing of the perforations (accidental opening) during processing, transportation, dropping, etc. Unopened paper towel packages were placed vertically in the axial direction (X direction), and 12 packages were packed side by side in a cardboard box. The boxes were then vibrated 50 cm up and down and left and right at one round trip per second for one minute. The packages were then removed from the cardboard box, and the perforations were visually inspected for accidental opening. This test was repeated 10 times, and a total of 120 packages were evaluated according to the following criteria. The inner dimensions of the cardboard box were: long side: diameter of roll product x 3 (roll / package) x 3 (package); short side: diameter of roll product x 4 (package). (judgment formula) Mis-opening rate (%) = (number of packages where mis-opening occurred) ÷ (120 evaluated bags) × 100 ◎: The rate of mis-opening is less than 1% Good: The rate of mis-opening is between 1% and 3% △: The rate of mis-opening is between 3% and 5% ×: The rate of mis-opening is 5% or more

[0100] (Water absorption) Regarding "water absorption," the water absorption of paper towels removed from a paper towel package was evaluated. Specifically, an unopened paper towel package was held with both hands around the perforation on the side, and the perforation was opened by tearing it open to the left and right with the thumbs of both hands. The roll product was then removed, and the water absorption per unit area of ​​the paper towel was measured using the above-mentioned method for measuring "water absorption," and the evaluation was based on the following criteria. ◎: Water absorption per unit area is 380g / m 2 End 〇: Water absorption per unit area is 350g / m 2 More than 380g / m 2 less than △: Water absorption per unit area is 330g / m 2 More than 350g / m 2 less than ×: Water absorption per unit area is 330g / m 2 less than

[0101] (Rolling softness) Regarding "roll softness," the roll product removed from the paper towel package was evaluated for its roll softness. Specifically, an unopened paper towel package was held with both hands around the perforation on the side, and the perforation was opened by tearing it open to the left and right with the thumbs of both hands. The roll product was then removed and the softness of the roll product was measured using the above-mentioned method for measuring "roll softness," and evaluated according to the following criteria. ◎: Roll softness is 1.6mm or more ○: Roll softness is 1.4mm or more and less than 1.6mm △: Roll softness is 1.2mm or more and less than 1.4mm ×: Roll softness is less than 1.2 mm

[0102] The results obtained are shown in Tables 1 and 2.

[0103] [Table 1]

[0104] [Table 2]

[0105] As is clear from the results shown in Tables 1 and 2, the packages of Examples 1 to 13 were all excellent in ease of opening the perforation, resistance to accidental opening, water absorbency, and softness of the roll product. In contrast, the packages of Comparative Examples 1 to 6 were all inferior in any of ease of opening the perforation, resistance to accidental opening, water absorbency, and softness of the roll product.

[0106] From the above, according to the present disclosure, it has been confirmed that in a package containing three rolls of bulky, highly absorbent, high-quality paper towel roll products, the perforations are easy to open when opening, accidental opening of the perforations under unintended circumstances can be prevented, and the softness of the roll products and the absorbency of the paper towels can be maintained when removed from the package.
