Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0006] However, in the bottle carrying device described in Patent Document 1, a vertical plate 1 and a vertical sliding plate 11 are arranged on the back side, which requires two pieces of paper material with a length equal to the length of the bottle's body, i.e., the part below the top of the contents, in the vertical direction, thus increasing the cost of paper material. Furthermore, in the bottle carrying device, although the body of the held bottle (the part below the top of the contents) can be seen from the front, there is no area on the front side that can be used as a POP display to advertise the product, so the appeal of the product cannot be enhanced.

[0007] On the other hand, in the packaging described in Patent Document 2, the body of the bottle can be viewed through the window 24, and the area of ​​the side plate 18 that forms the front of the packaging member 8, other than the window 24, can be used as POP. However, in this packaging member 8, side plates 18 and 19 are provided on the front and back sides of the bottle, respectively, which requires paper material twice the length of the bottle's body in the vertical direction, resulting in the problem of increased paper material costs in the vertical direction.

[0008] Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a packaging container having an insertion portion through which the top of the contents can be inserted, in which the portion below the top of the contents being held can be seen from the front, has an area on the front side that can be used as a point of display (POP) to advertise the contents, and can reduce the cost of paper materials in the vertical direction. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] This invention was created to solve the above problems, and firstly, it is a packaging container for holding contents, comprising a bottom portion (10) for placing contents, a front portion (20) connected to the front side edge of the bottom portion via a first fold line (C1), with adhesive means (26-1, 26-2) provided on the inner surface when the front portion is raised relative to the bottom portion, a back portion (30) connected to the back side edge of the bottom portion via a second fold line (C2), and from the side of the back portion opposite to the bottom portion The packaging container is formed from a sheet-like paper blank and has an upper surface (40) provided with an insertion portion (40K) through which the top of the contents can be inserted. The length (L3) of the front surface perpendicular to the first fold line is such that, with the top of the contents inserted into the insertion portion and the contents placed on the bottom surface, and with the front surface raised relative to the bottom surface, a gap (H) is provided between the front surface and the upper surface, and the contents can be seen from the front through the gap in the gap.

[0010] According to the first configuration of the packaging container, the front portion can be used as a POP (point of purchase) area, and the front portion only needs to be able to adhere to the front or back of the contents. Since a gap is provided between the front portion and the top portion, the vertical length of the front portion can be shortened, and the cost of paper material in the vertical direction can be reduced. In addition, since a gap is provided between the front portion and the top portion, the contents (especially the portion below the top of the contents) can be viewed from the front through the gap in this gap.

[0011] Secondly, in the first configuration described above, the adhesive means provided on the front portion is positioned such that, with the upper part of the contents inserted into the insertion portion and the contents placed on the bottom portion, the front portion adheres to the contents via the adhesive means.

[0012] Furthermore, thirdly, in the first configuration described above, there is a right-side component (80) having a right adhesive piece (50-1), a right folded-back piece (52-1) connected to the right adhesive piece via a third fold line (C4-1), and a right-side portion (60-1) connected to the right folded-back piece via a fourth fold line (C5-1), and a left-side component (80-2) having a left adhesive piece (50-2), a left folded-back piece (52-2) connected to the left adhesive piece via a fifth fold line (C4-2), and a left-side portion (60-2) connected to the left folded-back piece via a sixth fold line (C5-2). 2) and , the right adhesive piece in the right component is connected from the right edge of the first surface, which is one of the bottom surface and back surface, via the seventh fold line (C3-1, C6-1), and the right adhesive piece is folded back relative to the first surface and bonded to the first surface, the right component is connected from the right edge of the second surface, which is the other of the bottom surface and back surface, via the eighth fold line (C6-1, C3-1), the left adhesive piece in the left component is connected from the left edge of the first surface via the ninth fold line (C3-2, C6-2), and the left adhesive piece is folded back relative to the first surface The left side is bonded to the second side, and the left side is connected to the left edge of the second side via the 10th fold line (C6-2, C3-2). The 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th fold lines are perpendicular to the 2nd fold line, the 3rd fold line is at a 45-degree angle to the 4th and 7th fold lines, and the 5th fold line is at a 45-degree angle to the 6th and 9th fold lines. When the right and left components are unfolded, the 4th fold line is perpendicular to the 7th and 8th fold lines, and the 6th fold line is perpendicular to the 9th and 10th fold lines. The structure is characterized by forming corners and raising the back portion relative to the bottom portion, so that the right folded piece is folded back against the right adhesive piece, causing the right side portion to rise relative to the bottom portion, and the left folded piece is folded back against the left adhesive piece, causing the left side portion to rise relative to the bottom portion, and the adhesive means provided on the front portion comprises a first adhesive means (26-1) that adheres to the right side portion of the back portion or to the right side portion, and a second adhesive means (26-2) that adheres to the left side portion of the back portion or to the left side portion.

[0013] In the third configuration, the right-side component has a right adhesive piece, a right folded piece, and a right-side portion, and the left-side component has a left adhesive piece, a left folded piece, and a left-side portion, so the right-side portion and the left-side portion can be raised and assembled with a single touch. In addition, the right-side portion and the left-side portion close both sides of the contents, and by adhering the front portion to the right-side portion and the left-side portion or the back portion, the contents can be closed from the front to both sides, thus preventing the contents from falling out. [Effects of the Invention]

[0014] According to the packaging container based on this invention, the front portion can be used as a POP (point of purchase) area, and the front portion only needs to be able to adhere to the front or back of the contents. Since a gap is provided between the front portion and the top portion, the vertical length of the front portion can be shortened, and the cost of paper material in the vertical direction can be reduced. In addition, since a gap is provided between the front portion and the top portion, the contents (especially the portion below the top of the contents) can be viewed from the front through the gap in this gap.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0016] In the present invention, in a packaging container having an insertion portion through which the upper part of the content can be inserted, a portion below the upper part of the content to be held can be visually recognized from the front side, and it has a region as a POP for advertising the product on the front side, and a packaging container capable of reducing the cost of the paper material in the vertical direction is provided, and the object is realized as follows.

[0017] The packaging container 5 of Example 1 based on the present invention is a bottle holder for holding a bottle as the content, and is configured as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3. It is formed of a single sheet-like paper blank (specifically, a blank made of cardboard (for example, thin cardboard), and other paper blanks such as a blank made of thick paper may also be used).

[0018] In other words, the packaging container 5 comprises a bottom portion 10, a front portion 20 connected to the front side edge of the bottom portion 10 via a fold line (first fold line) C1, a back portion 30 connected to the back side edge of the bottom portion 10 via a fold line (second fold line) C2, a top portion 40 connected to the side of the back portion 30 opposite to the bottom portion 10, an adhesive piece (right adhesive piece) 50-1 connected to the right side edge of the bottom portion 10 via a fold line C3-1, a folded-back piece (right folded-back piece) 52-1 connected to the adhesive piece 50-1 via a fold line (third fold line) C4-1, and a fold line (fourth fold line) from the edge of the folded-back piece 52-1 It has a side section (right side section) 60-1 connected via C5-1 and connected from the right side edge of the back section 30 via fold line C6-1, an adhesive piece (left adhesive piece) 50-2 connected from the left side edge of the bottom section 10 via fold line C3-2, a folded-back piece (left folded-back piece) 52-2 connected from the adhesive piece 50-2 via fold line (fifth fold line) C4-2, and a side section (left side section) 60-2 connected from the edge of the folded-back piece 52-2 via fold line (sixth fold line) C5-2 and connected from the left side edge of the back section 30 via fold line C6-2.

[0019] Here, the bottom portion 10 has edges along the fold line C1, edges along the fold line C2, edges along the fold line C3-1, and edges along the fold line C3-2, with fold lines C1 and C2 being parallel to each other, and fold lines C3-1 and C3-2 being parallel to each other, and fold lines C1, C2 and fold lines C3-1 and C3-2 being at right angles to each other. The left and right corners on the front side of the bottom portion 10 are arc-shaped, and the left and right corners on the back side have notches with arc-shaped edges (specifically, quarter-circular notches). This bottom portion 10 is used to place the bottle 100, which is the contents to be held.

[0020] Furthermore, the front section 20 has a horizontally elongated shape and includes a front section body 21 corresponding to the connection portion with the bottom section 10, and tip sections 22-1 and 22-2 extending to the left and right from the front section body 21. The left-right length L1 of the front section 20 is longer than the left-right length of the bottom section 10, but the left-right length L2 of the tip sections 22-1 and 22-2 (left-right length in the unfolded state) is such that it does not touch the side sections 60-1 and 60-2 when the back section 30 is raised and erected. In addition, the length L3 from the fold line C1 to the tip of the front section 20 (upper end when assembled) is shorter than the vertical length L4 of the back section body 32 (described later) in the back section 30. This length L3 is such that, with the neck of the bottle 100 (described later) inserted into the opening (insertion part) 40K (described later) of the top part 40 and the bottle 100 placed on the bottom part 10, and with the front part 20 raised relative to the bottom part 10, a gap H (see Figure 5) is provided between the front part 20 and the top part 40, and the length is such that the bottle 100 can be seen from the front through the gap in this gap. In addition, the length of the front part body 21 in the left-right direction is the same as the length of the connecting part between the front part 20 and the bottom part 10 in the left-right direction.

[0021] The front section 20 and the bottom section 10 are connected via a fold line C1, but the length of the fold line C1 is shorter than the length of the bottom section 10 in the left-right direction, and the front section 20 and the bottom section 10 are connected in their central parts, and when the front section 20 and the bottom section 10 are unfolded, grooves M are formed on both sides of the fold line C1 between the front section 20 and the bottom section 10.

[0022] The upper edge of the front portion 20 (the edge opposite to the bottom portion 10) is curved upward, and a roughly semicircular projection 23 is formed on the left side of the upper edge of the front portion 20.

[0023] In the front portion 20, in the area on the left and right sides of the fold line C1, multiple folding lines 24 are formed perpendicular to the fold line C1, thereby making the front portion 20's tip areas on both sides more easily deformable according to the shape of the bottle.

[0024] Furthermore, adhesive layers with release paper (adhesive means) 26-1 and 26-2 are attached to the left and right sides of the inner surface of the front portion 20. Specifically, the right side of the front portion 20 is provided with the adhesive layer with release paper (first adhesive means) 26-1, and the left side of the front portion 20 is provided with the adhesive layer with release paper (second adhesive means) 26-2. The adhesive layers with release paper 26-1 and 26-2 are positioned so that the front portion 20 adheres to the bottle 100 via the adhesive layers 26-1 and 26-2 when the neck of the bottle 100 is inserted into the opening 40K which serves as the insertion part and the bottle 100 is placed on the bottom portion 10. Each adhesive layer with release paper 26-1 and 26-2 is provided by a layered adhesive bonded to the inner surface of the front portion 20 and a release paper covered with the adhesive. The adhesive layer is revealed when the release paper is peeled off.

[0025] This front section 20 can be used as a POP (point of purchase) area for advertising the product, and product advertisements can be displayed on the outer surface of the front section 20.

[0026] Furthermore, the rear section 30 has a roughly rectangular rear section body 32 and rear section upper sections 34-1 and 34-2 that are connected to the upper edge of the rear section body 32.

[0027] The rear section body 32 has an outer shape with notches (specifically, quarter-circular notches) having arc-shaped edges on both sides of the lower end of the rectangular shape. The rear section body 32 is provided with a pair of tapered cut lines 32K, each cut line 32K is formed in a straight line, and the pair of cut lines 32K are formed in a roughly V-shape such that the length between the pair of cut lines 32K increases as it goes downwards. The upper end of each cut line 32K is formed at the end positions on both sides of the lower end of the opening 34K between the upper rear section 34-1 and the upper rear section 34-2, and the lower end of each cut line 32K is at the upper end position of the side sections 60-1 and 60-2.

[0028] When the area consisting of the bottom portion 10 and the back portion 30 is unfolded, a semicircular notch 70K (see Figure 2) is formed by a quarter-circular notch provided in the bottom portion 10 and a quarter-circular notch provided in the back portion body 32.

[0029] Furthermore, the upper parts 34-1 and 34-2 of the back section are provided on both sides of the opening 34K, and have a shape in which the opening 34K is located in the center of a horizontally elongated rectangle. A straight crease line 34a for folding is provided between the main body 32 of the back section and the upper parts 34-1 and 34-2 of the back section, and a straight crease line 34b for folding, parallel to the crease line 34a, is also provided between the upper parts 34-1 and 34-2 of the back section and the top surface 40, and multiple straight crease lines 36 for folding, parallel to the crease lines 34a and 34b, are also provided between the crease lines 34a and 34b.

[0030] The rear portion 30 itself has a rectangular shape with an opening 40K (specifically, a notch for forming the opening 40K) at the upper end region, and quarter-circular notches on both sides of the lower end region.

[0031] Furthermore, the upper surface portion 40 has an upper surface portion body 42 that is connected to the upper edges of the upper back portions 34-1 and 34-2, and an upper surface portion sub-body 44 that is folded back from the tip of the upper surface portion body 42 via a fold line and adhered to the inner surface of the upper surface portion body 42. The upper surface portion body 42 is provided with a pair of circular openings 42K, and the upper surface portion sub-body 44 is provided with a pair of circular openings 44K. When the upper surface portion body 42 and the upper surface portion sub-body 44 are adhered and overlapping, the openings 42K and 44K overlap to form an opening 40K. Adhesive is applied to the area of ​​the upper surface portion sub-body 44 shown in the hatching and adhered to the upper surface portion body 42. The opening 40K is used as a hole through which the neck portion (top of the contents) of the bottle can be inserted.

[0032] Furthermore, the adhesive piece 50-1 is connected to the right side of the bottom surface 10, which is the first surface, via a fold line C3-1, and is adhered to the inner surface of the bottom surface 10 in a folded state relative to the bottom surface 10. The adhesive piece 50-1 has a roughly triangular projection formed by a notch K50.

[0033] Furthermore, the folded-back piece 52-1 is connected via a bend line C4-1, which forms a 45-degree angle with respect to bend lines C3-1 and C5-1. In addition, when the region consisting of the adhesive piece 50-1 and the folded-back piece 52-1 is unfolded, a roughly V-shaped notch K50 is provided between the adhesive piece 50-1 and the folded-back piece 52-1. In other words, the bend line C4-1 is formed from both ends of the notch K50.

[0034] Furthermore, the side portion 60-1 is connected to the right side of the back portion 30, which is the second surface portion, via a fold line C6-1, and also connected to the folded-back piece 52-1 via a fold line C5-1. This fold line C5-1 is formed parallel to and approximately on the same line as the fold line C2 when the region consisting of the side portion 60-1 and the folded-back piece 52-1 is unfolded. The adhesive piece 50-1, the folded-back piece 52-1, and the side portion 60-1 constitute the right-side component 80 (see Figure 2).

[0035] Furthermore, when the adhesive piece 50-1, the folded piece 52-1, and the side portion 60-1 are unfolded, a semicircular notch 72K corresponding to the notch 70K is formed in the region consisting of the adhesive piece 50-1, the folded piece 52-1, and the side portion 60-1. By providing the notches 70K and 72K in this way, bending via the fold lines C4-1 and C5-1 becomes easier. In addition, since the fold line C4-1 is provided on both sides of the cut K50, folding via the fold line C4-1 can be easily facilitated.

[0036] The configuration of the adhesive piece 50-2, the folded piece 52-2, and the side portion 60-2 is the same as that of the adhesive piece 50-1, the folded piece 52-1, and the side portion 60-1, except that they are symmetrical.

[0037] Specifically, the adhesive piece 50-2 is connected to the left side of the bottom surface 10, which is the first surface, via a fold line C3-2, and is adhered to the inner surface of the bottom surface 10 in a folded state relative to the bottom surface 10, while the side surface 60-2 is connected to the left side of the back surface 30, which is the second surface, via a fold line C6-2. The fold line C4-2 is at a 45-degree angle with respect to the fold lines C3-2 and C5-2. In addition, a roughly V-shaped notch K50 is provided between the adhesive piece 50-2 and the folded piece 52-2, and the fold line C4-2 is formed from both ends of the notch K50.

[0038] Furthermore, the folded line C5-2 is formed parallel to and approximately on the same line as the folded line C2 when the region consisting of the side portion 60-2 and the folded piece 52-2 is unfolded. The left component portion 82 (see Figure 2) is formed by the adhesive piece 50-2, the folded piece 52-2 and the side portion 60-2.

[0039] Furthermore, a semicircular notch 72K corresponding to the notch 70K is formed in the region consisting of the adhesive piece 50-2, the folded piece 52-2, and the side portion 60-2.

[0040] In Figure 2, adhesive is applied to the areas indicated by hatching on adhesive pieces 50-1 and 50-2, and they are then bonded to the bottom surface 10.

[0041] With the right component 80 and the left component 82 unfolded, the folded line C5-1 is perpendicular to the folded lines C3-1 and C6-1, and the folded line C5-2 is perpendicular to the folded lines C3-2 and C6-2. In addition, the folded lines C3-1, C6-1, C3-2, and C6-2 are perpendicular to the folded line C2.

[0042] With the adhesive pieces 50-1 and 50-2, the folded pieces 52-1 and 52-2, and the side pieces 60-1 and 60-2 configured as described above, by raising the back portion 30 relative to the bottom portion 10 from the state shown in Figure 1, as shown in Figure 3, the folded pieces 52-1 and 52-2 rotate and fold back relative to the adhesive pieces 50-1 and 50-2. Subsequently, the folded pieces 52-1 and 52-2 overlap the adhesive pieces 50-1 and 50-2, and with the back portion 30 at a right angle to the bottom portion 10, the side pieces 60-1 and 60-2 are at a right angle to the folded pieces 52-1 and 52-2 and the back portion 30. In this way, by raising the back portion 30 relative to the bottom portion 10, the side pieces 60-1 and 60-2 can be raised and assembled with a single touch.

[0043] The method of using the packaging container 5 with the above configuration will now be explained. The bottle 100 held in this packaging container 5 is shrink-wrapped, and the heat-shrunk film 104 is in close contact with the surface. In other words, the bottle 100 has a bottle body 102 and a film 104.

[0044] To hold the bottle 100 in the packaging container 5, as shown in Figure 3, the back portion 30 is raised relative to the bottom portion 10, the folded pieces 52-1 and 52-2 are folded back onto the adhesive pieces 50-1 and 50-2, and the side portions 60-1 and 60-2 are perpendicular to the back portion 30 and the bottom portion 10. The neck of the bottle is then inserted into the opening 40K, and the bottom of the bottle is placed on the bottom portion 10 and the folded pieces 52-1 and 52-2, resulting in the state shown in Figure 4. Note that the bottle body 102 in the bottle 100 shown in Figures 4, 5, 9, and 10 is a bottle for cosmetics such as shampoo.

[0045] After removing the release paper from the adhesives 26-1 and 26-2, the front portion 20 is raised relative to the bottom portion 10 and adhered to the body of the bottle 100 (see Figure 5). At this time, since the front portion 20 is provided with a score line 24, the areas on both sides of the front portion 20 can be adhered along the surface of the bottle 100.

[0046] As shown in Figure 5, when the bottle 100 is held in place, the front portion 20 is adhered to the bottle 100, and the left and right sides are closed by the side portions 60-1 and 60-2 of the packaging container 5, thereby preventing the bottle 100 from falling out.

[0047] Since the packaging container 5 in which the bottle 100 is held is provided with an opening 34K, the packaging container 5 in which the bottle 100 is held can be carried by hooking a finger through this opening 34K and suspending it.

[0048] Furthermore, when removing the bottle 100 from the packaging container 5, place your fingers on the opening 34K and pull downwards on the area between the pair of cut lines 32K on the back body 32 to break the pair of cut lines 32K. This allows you to detach the top part 40 from the neck of the bottle 100 and remove the area above the pair of cut lines 32K. After that, since the front part 20 is adhered to the bottle 100, you can remove the bottle body 102 by tearing the film 104 that is in close contact with the bottle body 102. If the front part 20 can be peeled off the film 104, peel the front part 20 off the bottle 100 and remove the bottle 100.

[0049] In this embodiment, the packaging container 5 allows the front portion 20 to be used as a POP (point of purchase) area, enabling the display of product advertisements on the front of the bottle to enhance the product's appeal. Furthermore, in the packaging container 5, the vertical length L3 of the front portion 20 is shorter than the vertical length L4 of the back portion 32, allowing the length of the front portion 20 to be shortened and reducing the cost of paper material in the vertical direction. In other words, the front portion 20 only needs to be attached to the front of the bottle 100, and as shown in Figure 5, a gap H is provided, so it can be made shorter than the vertical length of the body of the bottle 102. This eliminates the need for twice the vertical length of the body of the bottle, i.e., the portion below the top of the contents, thus reducing the cost of paper material in the vertical direction.

[0050] Furthermore, the length L3 of the front portion 20 is shorter than the vertical length L4 of the back portion body 32 (described later) in the back portion 30, and as shown in Figure 5, a gap H is provided between the front portion 20 and the top portion 40, so that the bottle 100 (especially the body of the bottle (the part below the top of the contents)) can be seen from the front through the gap in this gap, making it easier to recognize the product by the pattern or other markings on the body of the bottle.

[0051] Furthermore, by making the bottle 100 held in the packaging container 5 a shrink-wrapped bottle, even if the front part 20 is directly attached to the bottle 100, the bottle body 102 can be removed by tearing the film 104, so there is no problem in directly attaching the front part 20 to the bottle 100.

[0052] In addition, in the configuration of the above embodiment 1, the right-side component 80 (i.e., the adhesive piece 50-1, the folded piece 52-1, and the side portion 60-1) and the left-side component 82 (i.e., the adhesive piece 50-2, the folded piece 52-2, and the side portion 60-2) may be omitted. In other words, the configuration consists of a bottom portion 10, a front portion 20, a back portion 30, and a top portion 40. Even in this case, by adhering the front portion 20 to the front of the bottle 100, it is possible to prevent the bottle held in the packaging container 5 from falling out of the packaging container 5.

[0053] Next, the packaging container 5' based on Example 2 is a bottle holder that holds the bottle as the contents, similar to Example 1, and is substantially identical to the packaging container 5 of Example 1, but the configuration of the front part 20 is different.

[0054] In other words, as shown in Figures 6 and 7, in the front portion 20, the length L2 of the tip portions 22-1 and 22-2 is formed to be longer than the length of the tip portions 22-1 and 22-2 in Embodiment 1, and the length L2 of the tip portions 22-1 and 22-2 is such that when the back portion 30 is raised and erected, the tips of the tip portions 22-1 and 22-2 are in contact with the side portions 60-1 and 60-2.

[0055] In other words, the front portion 20 of the packaging container 5' in Example 2 has a front portion body 21 corresponding to the connection portion with the bottom portion 10, and tip portions 22-1 and 22-2 extending to the left and right from the front portion body 21. The upper edge 22a of the front portion 20 is curved upward, and a roughly semicircular projection 23 is formed protruding from it, similar to Example 1. In addition, the lower edges 22-1b and 22-2b of the tip portions 22-1 and 22-2 are formed in a straight line parallel to the fold line C1.

[0056] Furthermore, the left-right length L1 of the front section 20 is longer than the left-right length of the bottom section 10, and the length L3 from the folded line C1 to the tip of the front section 20 is shorter than the vertical length L4 of the back section body 32 in the back section 30. This length L3 is such that, as in the first embodiment, the neck of the bottle 100 is inserted through the opening 40K of the top section 40, the bottle 100 is placed on the bottom section 10, and the front section 20 is raised relative to the bottom section 10, with a gap H (see Figure 10) between the front section 20 and the top section 40, and the bottle 100 is visible from the front through this gap. In addition, the left-right length of the front section body 21 is the same as the left-right length of the connecting portion between the front section 20 and the bottom section 10.

[0057] Furthermore, a release-paper adhesive layer (first adhesive means) 26-1 is adhered to the inner surface of the tip portion 22-1, and a release-paper adhesive layer (second adhesive means) 26-2 is adhered to the inner surface of the tip portion 22-2. Multiple folding lines 24 perpendicular to the fold line C1 are formed on the base end side of the region where the release-paper adhesive 26-1 and 26-2 are provided on the tip portions 22-1 and 22-2, making it easier to deform the tip portions 22-1 and 22-2 when adhering them to the side portions 60-1 and 60-2. Unlike in Example 1, the region where the release-paper adhesive 26-1 and 26-2 are provided on the tip portions 22-1 and 22-2 overlaps with the side portions 60-1 and 60-2 and is not deformed, so no lines 24 are provided in that region.

[0058] This front section 20 can be used as a POP (point of purchase) area for advertising the product, and product advertisements can be displayed on the outer surface of the front section 20.

[0059] In the packaging container 5' of Example 2, the configuration other than the front portion 20 is the same as that of the packaging container 5 of Example 1, so a detailed explanation will be omitted.

[0060] The method of using the packaging container 5' with the above configuration will now be explained. The bottle 100, which is the contents to be held in this packaging container 5', is shrink-wrapped as in the case of Example 1, and the film 104 is in close contact with the surface of the bottle body 102.

[0061] To hold the bottle 100 in the packaging container 5', as shown in Figure 8, the back portion 30 is raised relative to the bottom portion 10, the folded pieces 52-1 and 52-2 are folded back onto the adhesive pieces 50-1 and 50-2, and the side portions 60-1 and 60-2 are perpendicular to the back portion 30 and the bottom portion 10. The neck of the bottle is then inserted into the opening 40K, and the bottom of the bottle is placed on the bottom portion 10 and the folded pieces 52-1 and 52-2 to achieve the state shown in Figure 9.

[0062] After that, the release paper is removed from the adhesives 26-1 and 26-2 with release paper, and the front portion 20 is raised relative to the bottom portion 10, and the tip portions of the front portions 22-1 and 22-2 are adhered to the side portions 60-1 and 60-2 (see Figure 10). In other words, the areas of the front portions 22-1 and 22-2 where the ruled lines 24 are provided are curved, and the tip portion of the front portion 22-1 is adhered to the side portion 60-1, and the tip portion of the front portion 22-2 is adhered to the side portion 60-2.

[0063] As shown in Figure 10, when the bottle 100 is held in place, the front ends 22-1 and 22-2 of the front section 20 are bonded to the side sections 60-1 and 60-2, thereby closing the bottle 100 from the front to both sides, and preventing the bottle 100 from falling out.

[0064] Since the packaging container 5' in which the bottle 100 is held has an opening 34K, the packaging container 5' in which the bottle 100 is held can be carried by hooking a finger through this opening 34K and suspending it.

[0065] Furthermore, when removing the bottle 100 from the packaging container 5', the bottle 100 can be removed by breaking the pair of perforations 32K, detaching the top portion 40 from the neck of the bottle 100, and removing the area above the pair of perforations 32K, similar to Example 1. Note that the adhesive does not adhere to the bottle 100, so it is not necessary to tear the film on the surface of the bottle 100.

[0066] In this embodiment, the packaging container 5' allows the front portion 20 to be used as a POP (point of purchase) area, and product advertisements can be displayed on the front side of the bottle to enhance the product's appeal. Furthermore, in the packaging container 5', the vertical length L3 of the front portion 20 is shorter than the vertical length L4 of the back portion 32, so the vertical length of the front portion 20 can be shortened, reducing the cost of paper material in the vertical direction. In other words, the front portion 20 only needs to be tall enough to restrict the bottle 100 from moving to the front side, and as shown in Figure 10, a gap H is provided, so it can be shorter than the vertical length of the body of the bottle 102. This eliminates the need for twice the vertical length of the body of the bottle, i.e., the portion below the top of the contents, thus reducing the cost of paper material.

[0067] Furthermore, similar to Example 1, a gap H is provided between the front portion 20 and the top portion 40, allowing the bottle 100 (especially the body of the bottle (the portion below the top of the contents)) to be seen from the front through the gap, making it easier to recognize the product by the pattern or other features visible on the body of the bottle.

[0068] Furthermore, in the packaging container 5', the ends on both sides of the front portion 20 are adhered to the side portions 60-1 and 60-2, which restricts the movement of the bottle 100 toward the front. Therefore, there is no need to adhere adhesive to the bottle 100, and there is no need to tear the film when removing the bottle.

[0069] In Example 2, the tip portions 22-1 and 22-2 of the front portion 20 were described as being bonded to the side portions 60-1 and 60-2. However, as a configuration in which the tip portions 22-1 and 22-2 are further extended, the tip portions of the tip portions 22-1 and 22-2 may be bonded to the back portion 30.

[0070] Specifically, an adhesive with release paper (first adhesive means) is attached to the tip of tip portion 22-1, and an adhesive with release paper (second adhesive means) is attached to the tip of tip portion 22-2. With the bottle placed inside the packaging container, the release paper is peeled off, and tips 22-1 and 22-2 are guided through side portions 60-1 and 60-2 to the back portion 30, where the adhesive is attached to the back portion 30. In other words, the adhesive with release paper, as the first adhesive means, is attached to the right side area of ​​the back portion 30, and the adhesive with release paper, as the second adhesive means, is attached to the left side area of ​​the back portion 30. In this case as well, there is no need to attach the adhesive to the bottle 100, and there is no need to tear the film when removing the bottle.

[0071] In this way, even when the tip portions 22-1 and 22-2 are extended and attached to the back portion 30, the bottle 100 is closed from the front to both the left and right sides, thus preventing the bottle 100 from falling out.

[0072] Furthermore, if the tip portions 22-1 and 22-2 are extended and adhered to the back portion 30, the right-side component 80 and the left-side component 82 may be omitted. In other words, since the front portion 20 with the tip portions 22-1 and 22-2 extended will surround both sides of the bottle 100 from the front, the bottle held in the packaging container 5' can be prevented from falling out of the packaging container 5' even if the right-side component 80 and the left-side component 82 are omitted.

[0073] Even when the tip sections 22-1 and 22-2 are glued to the back section 30, the front section 20 only needs to be glued to the back section 30, and a gap is provided between the front section 20 and the top section 40, so it can be made shorter than the vertical length of the body of the bottle 102, thereby reducing the cost of paper material in the vertical direction.

[0074] Next, the packaging container 5'' based on Example 3 is a bottle holder that holds the bottle as its contents, similar to Example 1, and is substantially identical to the packaging container 5 of Example 1, but the configuration of the right component 80 and the left component 82 are different.

[0075] That is, similar to Examples 1 and 2, the right component 80 has an adhesive piece 50-1, a folded piece 52-1, and a side portion 60-1, and the left component 82 has an adhesive piece 50-2, a folded piece 52-2, and a side portion 60-2. However, as shown in Figures 11 and 12, the adhesive pieces 50-1 and 50-2 are connected to the sides of the back body 32 via fold lines C6-1 and C6-2, the folded pieces 52-1 and 52-2 are connected to the adhesive pieces 50-1 and 50-2 via fold lines C4-1 and C4-2, and the side portions 60-1 and 60-2 are connected to the folded pieces 52-1 and 52-2 via fold lines C5-1 and C5-2, as well as connected to the bottom portion 10 via fold lines C3-1 and C3-2. Line C4-1 forms a 45-degree angle with lines C5-1 and C6-1, and line C5-1 is perpendicular to lines C3-1 and C6-1. Similarly, line C4-2 forms a 45-degree angle with lines C5-2 and C6-2, and line C5-2 is perpendicular to lines C3-2 and C6-2.

[0076] In other words, adhesive piece 50-1 is connected to the right side of the back portion 30, which is the first surface portion, via fold line C6-1, and side portion 60-1 is connected to the right side of the bottom portion 10, which is the second surface portion, via fold line C3-1. Similarly, adhesive piece 50-2 is connected to the left side of the back portion 30, which is the first surface portion, via fold line C6-2, and side portion 60-2 is connected to the left side of the bottom portion 10, which is the second surface portion, via fold line C3-2.

[0077] The adhesive pieces 50-1 and 50-2 are folded over and adhered to the inner surface of the back portion 30. In other words, in Figure 11, adhesive is applied to the hatched areas of the adhesive pieces 50-1 and 50-2 and they are adhered to the back portion 30.

[0078] In the packaging container 5'' of Example 3, the configuration of the adhesive pieces 50-1, 50-2, the folded pieces 52-1, 52-2, and the side portions 60-1, 60-2 is different, but otherwise it is the same as the packaging container 5 of Example 1, so a detailed explanation is omitted.

[0079] In the case of Example 3, the neck of the bottle 100 is inserted through the opening 40K of the top surface 40, and the bottle 100 is placed on the bottom surface 10. With the front surface 20 raised relative to the bottom surface 10, a gap is provided between the front surface 20 and the top surface 40, and the bottle 100 can be seen from the front through the gap in this gap.

[0080] The method of using the packaging container 5'' configured as described above will now be explained. The bottle 100 to be held in this packaging container 5'' is shrink-wrapped, as in the case of Example 1, and the film 104 is in close contact with the surface of the bottle body 102.

[0081] To hold the bottle 100 in the packaging container 5'', as shown in Figure 12, the back portion 30 is raised relative to the bottom portion 10, causing the folded pieces 52-1 and 52-2 to be folded back into the adhesive pieces 50-1 and 50-2, and the side portions 60-1 and 60-2 to stand at right angles to the back portion 30 and the bottom portion 10, the neck of the bottle is inserted into the opening 40K, and the bottom of the bottle is placed on the bottom portion 10.

[0082] Subsequently, similar to Example 1, after peeling off the release paper from the adhesive with release paper (first adhesive means) 26-1 and the adhesive with release paper (second adhesive means) 26-2, the front portion 20 is raised relative to the bottom portion 10 and adhered to the body of the bottle 100.

[0083] The method for removing bottle 100 from packaging container 5'' is the same as in Example 1, so a detailed explanation is omitted.

[0084] In the packaging container 5'' of Example 3, similar to Example 1, the front portion 20 can be used as a POP area, and the vertical length of the front portion 20 can be shortened to reduce the cost of paper material in the vertical direction. Furthermore, since a gap is provided between the front portion 20 and the top portion 40 when the bottle is held in the packaging container 5'', the bottle (especially the body of the bottle (the part below the top of the contents)) can be viewed from the front through the gap in this gap.

[0085] Furthermore, the configuration of the right-side component 80 and the left-side component 82 in Example 3 may also be applied to the packaging container 5 in Example 2, and may also be applied in Example 2 when the front portion 20 is bonded to the back portion 30.

[0086] In the above description, it was stated that the upper surface 40 is provided with two openings 40K and that two bottles are held there. However, the number of openings 40K can be one or more, as long as they can hold one or more bottles.

[0087] Furthermore, while the opening 40K was used as an example of an insertion portion through which the neck of the bottle can be inserted, the insertion portion may be constructed by forming a region with notches or cut lines (for example, radial notches or cut lines) instead of the opening 40K, and by inserting the neck of the bottle into this region, each piece formed by the notches or cut lines will open up, creating an opening in the region. In other words, the insertion portion only needs to be configured to allow the neck of the bottle to be inserted. [Explanation of Symbols]
