Food packaging containers

Abstract

To solve the problem that although one sheet or one bag is typically used to package fast food, packaging and handling are careless, it is difficult to eat it, and consumers' fingers and hands, clothing, and tabletops are apt to get dirty, namely, the undifferentiated packaging results in pressing of food to decrease the quality and halve the taste, and further results in wasting of paper etc.SOLUTION: There is disclosed a packaging container which is neither one sheet nor one bag. Namely, there is provided a structure of a novel container that has two bags arranged on one sheet, and has a packaging function and a storing function put in one. The problem is solved with the rational simple packaging container with which a consumer never has the hands, fingers and clothing made dirty.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a container for packaging food, particularly fast food. [Background technology]

[0002] To date, sheets and bags have been used as packaging containers made of flexible materials. Initially, animal skins and internal organs found in nature were processed and used, then plant fibers were spun and woven, and the fibers were filtered and processed into paper and bags.In recent years, synthetic fibers have been used, and now materials have diversified to include chemical film sheets and bags, and various sheets and bags that can accommodate all kinds of contents are used in a wide range of fields. In particular, the use of bags has changed from a structure in which containers are placed through an opening to a structure in which they are sealed, and they have even acquired functions for freezing and cooking.

[0003] Next, sheets have the excellent ability to flexibly adapt to the shape of containers, and there is little change in the way they are used to wrap and carry containers. Bags also have features to prevent the contents from spilling out or spilling out, and they fulfill a basic function among containers, along with boxes. In other words, the structure of bags has been improved from the wrapping function characteristic of sheets to a storing function, It is convenient to take the contents in and out through the opening.

[0004] Currently, sheets are made from thin, flexible materials and are used for craft sheets, cooking sheets, various plates and boxes, as well as aluminum sheets and resin sheets.They are used for simple, easy packaging and are often used for fast food packaging. This method of wrapping food in a sheet involves roughly handling the food, compressing it, and sealing it, which damages its flavor and shape and shows a lack of consideration for the consumer who will be eating it. Furthermore, in order to compensate for the packaging technology, large sheets are used, compressing the contents more than necessary. As a result, excess oil and sauce separates and stains the inside of the sheet, making it difficult for consumers to eat and staining their hands, mouths, and even clothes, resulting in a lot of wasted paper.

[0005] On the other hand, the bags used to package fast food are made by bending a rectangular sheet and gluing one side of two square sheets together to form a bag, placing the food in the bag, and then folding the two sheets extending from the bag to seal it. This easy packaging and easy serving method causes the food to slip between the bent part of the bag and the glued part of the bag, resulting in more pressure than necessary and sealing the food, which damages the flavor and shape of the food, obscures the consumer's sense of taste, and also stains hands, clothes, and the table, and consumes a lot of paper.

[0006] Next, the boxes used to package fast food are used for foods that consist of multiple items such as hamburgers with layered patties, hot dogs with lots of toppings, French fries, and fried chicken. Packaging in these boxes has problems such as food not being stable inside the box, sauces spilling out through the numerous gaps, and the paper used inside the box and the way consumers hold the box directly with their bare hands can stain their fingers and hands, resulting in unnecessary paper waste.

[0007] Therefore, the following proposal has been made for a packaging material for hamburgers (Jitsuzen Report No. 197564 / 1987). This proposal aims to improve the temperature and humidity environment of the hamburger sealed in the packaging. This problem is solved by forming a large number of tiny through-holes in a strip shape on the sheet and arranging them in a grid pattern. However, the tiny holes allow spilled sauce and oil from the hamburger to seep out, making it difficult to achieve the original purpose. Furthermore, minute through-holes pose a risk of causing cracks in the sheet.

[0008] Next, the following proposal has been made for a packaging material for hamburgers (Jitto No. 3223955). This proposal aims to eliminate the difficulty of eating hamburgers when opening the rectangular bag that is made by folding a sheet and gluing one side of it together. This proposal aims to eliminate the difficulty of eating by forming the two openings of a square bag on the side that does not contain a hamburger into a semicircular shape, making the outer side larger than the inside, and cutting a slit in the edge of the outer bag and folding it. In addition, the bag has been perforated vertically, making it easier to eat by tearing it. However, while the different semicircular opening is an effective shape when eating the hamburger, the opening remains closed when the hamburger is packaged, which means that deterioration of the hamburger is unavoidable when transported, reaffirming the difficulty of achieving both ease of eating and packaging.

[0009] Next, a packaging sheet with a bag for storing food served at fast food restaurants has been proposed (Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2006-273378). This proposal is a packaging sheet with a bag that is easy to wrap at the store, does not soil hands or fingers when eating, and allows food to be easily removed, and the food storage bag is formed on the upper edge of the packaging sheet, which also serves as a cooking counter sheet. However, the specification of doubling up food in a bag with a wrapping sheet means that the food is provided in a sealed state, which makes deterioration inevitable. This is a proposal that prioritizes efficiency from the food provider's perspective, and it once again confirms the difficulty of balancing this with ease of eating. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0010] [Patent Document 1] Jizen Showa 62-197564 issue [Patent Document 2] Jito No. 3223955 [Patent Document 3] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-273378 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0011] Nowadays, some foods are handed out in stores on sheets or paper plates, and hygiene issues are not often raised. In addition, hand-delivering food to consumers dirty their fingers, hands, and clothes, and leads to the consumption of unnecessary paper, but this is rarely questioned.

[0012] On the other hand, packaging that is wrapped in sheets compresses and seals the food, sacrificing flavor and shape, but there are few voices questioning this. In addition, consumers face the difficulty of having to peel off the sheet when eating and avoiding the sauce or oil that gets on the sheet. In the first place, the advantage of using sheets for packaging is that they can freely fit the shape of the object. This creates wasted space in the area used and also leads to deterioration of the food itself.

[0013] On the other hand, packaging in a bag is advantageous as a container due to the structure of the opening and the portion that contains the food. However, in order to keep food in place and prevent sauces and oils from spilling out, more pressure and sealing than necessary is required, sacrificing the flavor and shape of the food, but few people question this practice. In addition, consumers eat portions of the food from the bag, and are faced with the difficulty of avoiding sauces and oils that may be stuck to the sheet. First of all, when using bags, it is important to consider the drawback that food is trapped in a closed space, which can cause the food's original flavor to deteriorate.

[0014] Currently, fast food providers are focused on providing food in an efficient manner, sacrificing the inherent value of the food. On the other hand, consumers are unable to enjoy the inherent value of food, such as its ease of eating and deliciousness. In other words, it's a disappointment for both sides.

[0015] First, the act of wrapping in a sheet is performed with human skill, but the sheet itself does not wrap. On the other hand, a bag is a container for holding containers, and its convenience in storing containers makes it independent as a container, regardless of the person's technique. To begin with, the structure of the bag is ideal for storage and transportation, and the opening in particular is excellent for efficiently putting in and taking out containers, and should be suitable for storage tasks. However, in recent years, improvements to the structure of bags have been limited to sealing, and the characteristics of the opening have not been utilized.

[0016] Currently, the category of packaging containers includes packaging that is wrapped in a single sheet on one side. On the other hand, there is a world of containers that fit into a single bag, each of which constitutes a different world.

[0017] The object of the present invention is to focus on the fact that the usage of sheets and bags has been a recurring lifestyle habit for many years and has not been significantly improved. The inventor seeks improvements that serve the interests of both consumers and providers. However, the inventors have confirmed that no further improvements can be found in the existing sheets and bags. The inventors believe that wrapping with a single sheet is a completed form of packaging. The inventor believes that storing the contents in one bag is a complete container. In other words, we have come to the conclusion that there is no need for structural improvements to the currently used single sheet packaging or single bag packaging.

[0018] Therefore, the present invention proposes a structure of a packaging container that is neither a single sheet nor a single bag. In other words, the present invention forms two bags on a single sheet, and the bags that bulge on both sides of the sheet form a three-dimensional vessel structure, completing the process as a single container. The present invention attempts to provide a packaging container structure that combines the functions of wrapping and storing into a single structure, and provides a new food packaging container that has a simple structure and can be manufactured inexpensively. [Means for solving the problem]

[0019] The food packaging container (1) of the present invention is a food packaging container (1) for packaging food, The food packaging container (1) is composed of a first sheet portion (2), a substantially opposing bag portion (5), and an open opening portion (6), The food packaging container (1) comprises the first sheet portion (2) which is a substantially rectangular sheet portion; and a second sheet portion (3) which is a substantially triangular sheet portion, The first sheet portion (2) has two adhesive portions (4) along the edge lines of the corner portions that are substantially opposite each other, The second sheet portion (3) bonded to the adhesive portion (4) forms a bag portion (5), The bag portion (5) is formed on the first sheet portion (2) so as to be substantially opposed to the first sheet portion (2), The bag portion (5) has the opening (6), The openings (6) are characterized in that one opening (6) and the other opening (6) are substantially opposite to each other.

[0020] The food packaging container (1) of the present invention is characterized in that the bag portions (5) are formed at two locations on the back surface of the first sheet portion (2). [Effects of the Invention]

[0021] The first effect of the food packaging container of the present invention is that the container is constructed with a single sheet sandwiched between two bags, thereby realizing a container consisting of a sheet portion that functions to wrap and a bag portion that contains the food, and a structure that does not compress or seal the food, thereby realizing a packaging container that preserves the original flavor and shape of the food.

[0022] The second effect of the food packaging container of the present invention is that the container is constructed with a single sheet sandwiched between two bags, and the bags on both sides connected to the sheet prevent food sauces and oils from leaking out and confine them within the container, thereby realizing a container with an easy-to-eat structure that does not soil the consumer's hands or clothes when eating.

[0023] The third effect of the food packaging container of the present invention is that the container is constructed with one sheet sandwiched between two bags, so consumers can move the container by holding it in their palm, or by picking it up, or eat from their palm, thereby providing a container that improves consumer convenience. In other words, consumers can eat comfortably from a packaging container that does not stain their hands or mouth and does not cause food to spill.

[0024] The fourth advantage of the food packaging container of the present invention is that, because the container is made of a single sheet sandwiched between two bags, containers of sizes and shapes suitable for a variety of foods can be manufactured inexpensively, thereby realizing packaging containers that eliminate makeshift containers and unnecessary packaging portions, as well as environmentally friendly packaging containers.

[0025] The fifth effect of the food packaging container of the present invention is that the container is constructed with one sheet sandwiched between two bags, and furthermore, an opposing bag is formed on the back of the sheet so that the consumer can insert their fingers, making it possible to place the container on the palm of one's hand and eat with one hand, thereby improving convenience for the consumer.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing an example in which the food packaging container 1 of the present invention is applied to a packaging container 20 for hot dogs. [Example]

[0029] Next, in Example 1, an example of an embodiment of a food packaging container 1 of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 shows and explains a first basic example of a food packaging container 1 of the present invention. FIG. 1-1 is a top view of a food packaging container 1. FIG. Figure 1-2 is an exploded view of Figure 1-1.

[0030] Next, the food packaging container 1 shown in Figure 1 shows an example in which bag portions 5 are formed on a first sheet portion 2, the bag portions 5 are approximately opposite each other, and the openings 6 of the bag portions 5 are also approximately opposite each other.

[0031] Next, the first sheet portion 2 shown in FIG. 1 is an example in which a square with one side measuring 18 cm is used, but is not limited thereto. In addition, an example in which greaseproof paper is used as the material is shown, but this is not limited to this.

[0032] Next, the second sheet portion 3 shown in FIG. 1 is an example in which an isosceles triangle with one side measuring 11 cm is used, but this is not limited thereto. In addition, an example in which greaseproof paper is used as the material is shown, but this is not limited to this.

[0033] Next, the adhesive portions 4 shown in FIG. 1 are provided at two locations along the edge lines of the corners of the first sheet portion 2 that are substantially opposite each other. Furthermore, the adhesive portion 4 shown in Figure 1 is provided at a portion 5 mm wide and 11 cm long from the corner of the first sheet portion 2, but the width and length are not specified. Furthermore, existing materials are suitably used for the adhesive portion 4 shown in FIG. 1, and the material and adhesive means are not specified or limited. The adhesive portion 4 shown in FIG. 1 is formed to correspond to the shape of the first sheet portion 2, The present invention is not limited to or specific to this embodiment.

[0034] Next, the bag portion 5 shown in Figure 1 is formed by adhering the second sheet portion 3 to the adhesive portion 4 formed along the edge line of the corner portion of the first sheet portion 2, and the bag portion 5 is formed approximately opposite to it. Furthermore, the bag portion 5 shown in FIG. 1 is formed by the adhesive portions 4 on two sides, and therefore has the strength required for a bag. Furthermore, the structure of the food packaging container 1 of the present invention is formed at approximately opposing corner portions of the first sheet portion 2, and the configuration in which strong bag portions 5 are located on both sides of the first sheet portion 2 establishes the structure as a container.

[0035] Next, the opening 6 shown in FIG. 1 is a portion where the second sheet portion 3 is not adhered to the adhesive portion 4, Since the bag portions 5 are generally opposed to each other, the openings 6 are also generally opposed to each other. Furthermore, the opening 6 shown in FIG. 1 functions as a storage opening for storing food when in use, but the adhesive portions 4 on the two sides and the opening 6 also function as a container. In other words, the food is accommodated in the openings that are substantially opposite to each other on the first sheet portion 2. The structure of the packaging container is proven in actual use.

[0036] Next, the joint 7 shown in FIG. 1 is not a necessary condition for the food packaging container 1 of the present invention. However, this function is sufficient when the food packaging container 1 of the present invention is actually used. In other words, when handing the food packaging container 1 with food inside to a consumer, when the consumer picks it up and moves it, or when the consumer stops eating at the table, closing the container at the seam 7 contributes to convenience for the consumer. Furthermore, the joining means and material of the joining portion 7 shown in FIG. 1 are not specified or limited, and the joining portion 7 may be omitted. [Example]

[0037] Next, in a second embodiment, an example of the food packaging container 1 of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 shows and explains a first basic example of a food packaging container 1 of the present invention. FIG. 2-1 is a top view of the food packaging container 1. FIG. Figure 2-2 is an exploded view of Figure 2-1.

[0038] Next, the food packaging container 1 shown in Figure 2 shows an example in which bag portions 5 are formed on a first sheet portion 2, the bag portions 5 are approximately opposite each other, the openings 6 of the bag portions 5 are also approximately opposite each other, and further, the bag portions 5 are formed approximately opposite the back surface of the first sheet portion 2, which is not approximately opposite each other.

[0039] Next, the first sheet portion 2 shown in FIG. 2 is an example in which a rhombus with one side measuring 17 cm is used, but is not limited thereto. In addition, an example in which greaseproof paper is used as the material is shown, but this is not limited to this.

[0040] Next, the second sheet portion 3 shown in FIG. 2 is an example in which an isosceles triangle with one side measuring 8 cm is used, but this is not limited thereto. Furthermore, the second sheet portion 3 shown in FIG. 2 is an example of an isosceles triangle with a side length of 10 cm used on the rear surface of the first sheet portion 2, but is not limited thereto. In addition, an example in which greaseproof paper is used as the material is shown, but this is not limited to this.

[0041] Next, the adhesive portions 4 shown in FIG. 2 are provided at two locations along the edge lines of the corners of the first sheet portion 2 that are substantially opposite each other. Furthermore, the adhesive portion 4 shown in Figure 2 is provided at a portion 5 mm wide and 8 cm long from the corner of the first sheet portion 2, but the width and length are not specified.

[0042] Furthermore, the adhesive portions 4 shown in FIG. 2 are provided at two locations on the rear surface of the first sheet portion 2 along the edge lines of corner portions that are not substantially opposite each other on the front surface. In addition, the adhesive portion 4 on the back surface of the first sheet portion 2 shown in FIG. 2 is provided in a portion 5 mm wide and 10 cm long from the corner of the first sheet portion 2. The width and length are not specified. The length of the adhesive portion 4 shown in FIG. 2 is an example in which the length of the front surface and the length of the back surface do not overlap, but is not limited to this. The adhesive portion 4 shown in FIG. 2 is formed to correspond to the shape of the first sheet portion 2, The present invention is not limited to or specific to this embodiment. The length of the adhesive portion 4 shown in FIG. 2 may be formed so that the length of the front surface and the length of the back surface overlap slightly. Furthermore, the bag portion 5 sandwiched between the two adhesive portions 4, which is a feature of the present invention, acquires strength, and furthermore, the bonding portion 4 on the back surface acquires double strength. Furthermore, existing materials are preferably used for the adhesive portion 4 shown in FIG. 2, and the material and adhesive means are not specified or limited.

[0043] Next, the bag portion 5 shown in Figure 2 is formed by adhering the second sheet portion 3 to the adhesive portion 4 formed along the edge line of the corner portion of the first sheet portion 2, and the bag portion 5 is formed approximately opposite to it. Furthermore, the bag portion 5 shown in FIG. 2 is formed by the adhesive portions 4 on two sides, and therefore has the strength required for a bag. Furthermore, the structure of the food packaging container 1 of the present invention is formed at approximately opposing corner portions of the first sheet portion 2, and the configuration in which strong bag portions 5 are located on both sides of the first sheet portion 2 establishes the structure as a container.

[0044] Furthermore, the bag portions 5 shown in FIG. 2 are characterized in that they are formed at two locations on the rear surface of the first sheet portion 2 at corners that are not substantially opposite to each other on the front surface. In addition, the bag portion 5 formed on the back surface shown in Figure 2 is not intended to contain food, but rather to allow consumers to insert their fingers when picking up the food packaging container 1 of the present invention to eat, thereby stabilizing the grip and making it easier to eat. Furthermore, the bag portion 5 formed on the back surface shown in FIG. 2 provides thickness and strength to the thin portion of the first sheet portion 2, thereby reinforcing the structure of the food packaging container 1 of the present invention.

[0045] Next, the opening 6 shown in FIG. 2 is a portion where the second sheet portion 3 is not adhered to the adhesive portion 4, Since the bag portions 5 are generally opposed to each other, the openings 6 are also generally opposed to each other. Furthermore, the opening 6 shown in Figure 2 functions as a storage opening for storing food when in use, but the adhesive portions 4 on the two sides and the opening 6 also function as a container. In other words, the food is accommodated in the openings that are substantially opposite to each other on the first sheet portion 2. The structure of the packaging container is proven in actual use.

[0046] Furthermore, the opening 6 formed on the back surface of the first sheet portion 2 shown in Figure 2 is an opening 6 for consumers to insert their fingers, but it also serves to stabilize the food packaging container 1 when placed on a table.

[0047] Next, FIG. 2 shows an example in which the mating portion 7 shown in FIG. 1 is not formed, but it may be formed. Furthermore, the joint 7 functions as a sufficient condition when the food packaging container 1 of the present invention is actually used. In other words, when handing the food packaging container 1 with food inside to a consumer, when the consumer picks it up and moves it, or when the consumer stops eating at the table, closing the container at the seam 7 contributes to convenience for the consumer. [Example]

[0048] For example, in fast food restaurants, French fries are served in bags or thin boxes, It is a staple of fast food to present the food by exposing it through an opening to show its presence and to express its deliciousness. Generally, when eaten, it is placed horizontally on a plate or the like and spread out outside the bag or box.

[0049] Next, a third embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 3, showing an example in which the food packaging container 1 of the present invention is applied to a packaging container 10 for French fries. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing an example in which the food packaging container 1 of the present invention is applied to a packaging container 10 for French fries.

[0050] Next, a packaging container 10 for French fries shown in FIG. 3 shows an example in which French fries 11 are contained in the packaging container 10 for French fries. Furthermore, the French fry packaging container 10 shown in FIG. 3 shows an example in which French fries 11 are placed on the first sheet portion 2, and further French fries 11 are placed in the bag portions 5 on both sides having open openings 6, so that the two bag portions 5 and one first sheet portion 2 form a complete container. Furthermore, by joining the first sheet portion 2 at the joining portion 7, spillage is prevented when a consumer holds the joining portion 7 and moves.

[0051] Next, in the packaging container 10 for French fries shown in FIG. 3, the openings 6, which are open substantially opposite each other, open wide and expand when food is placed inside, and the semicircular portion at the end of the opening 6 and the first sheet portion 2 are continuous, thereby achieving the structure of a container. At this time, the first sheet portion 2 expands due to the food contained therein and assumes a generally horizontal cylindrical shape. The flexibility of the sheet allows it to accommodate a large number of French fries 11.

[0052] Next, a packaging container 10 for French fries shown in FIG. 3 is characterized by being composed of one sheet and two bags. In other words, the two bag portions 5 formed on both sides of the first sheet portion 2 become the two side walls, and the first sheet portion 2 that is continuous with the semi-circular portions of the bag portions 5 on both sides forms the side walls, thereby obtaining a structure as a container. Furthermore, by joining the ends of the first sheet portion 2 at the joining portion 7, the height and holding power of the wall are increased, so that the specification that wraps the French fries 11 on all sides realizes the function as a container.

[0053] Next, a packaging container 10 for French fries shown in FIG. 3 serves two purposes: to contain French fries 11 and to provide packaging that prevents them from spreading, and to serve as a tabletop container. In other words, there are two bag portions 5 formed on the first sheet portion 2, which are approximately opposite each other. When the consumer places French fries 11 on the first sheet portion 2 and picks up the edge of the first sheet portion 2 and lifts it up, the two bag portions 5 open into an approximately conical bag portion 5, and the semicircular portion of the approximately conical shape and the first sheet portion 2 form an approximately cylindrical shape facing sideways, completing the container structure consisting of two approximately conical shapes on either side of the approximately cylindrical shape. Furthermore, the consumer can grasp the triangular first sheet portion 2 of the completed container at the joining portion 7, which makes it easy to carry.

[0054] Next, the features of a packaging container 10 for French fries, which is an application of the food packaging container 1 of the present invention, shown in FIG. 3, will be described. The first feature is that the container has a structure in which an approximately cylindrical shape is sandwiched between two approximately conical shapes, which makes the contents stable inside the container and makes it easy for consumers to hold in their palms and move around comfortably. The second feature is that the container has a structure in which a roughly cylindrical shape is sandwiched between two roughly conical shapes. This allows consumers to avoid extra mess when eating. The third feature is that the container has a structure in which a roughly cylindrical shape is sandwiched between two roughly conical shapes, The first sheet portion 2 has a structure that does not seal the French fries 11, and the temperature and humidity inside are kept comfortable, which helps maintain the deliciousness. The fourth feature is that the container has a structure in which an approximately cylindrical shape is sandwiched between two approximately conical shapes, so that the container does not spread even when placed on a table, and can greatly improve convenience for consumers. [Example]

[0055] For example, in fast food restaurants, hot dogs are served on a sheet and handed to the customer, or on a plate or box. However, when consumers receive or eat hot dogs, they always handle them unsteadily on their fingers or palms, resulting in soiling their hands and clothes. In addition, hot dogs are often eaten by consumers picking them up with their hands, and each person's unique way of eating them is evident, but it is difficult to eat them in a way that does not get your hands or mouth dirty. In particular, hot dogs in boxes are difficult to eat because of the large amount and variety of sauces and toppings, and consumers are confused about how to handle the hot dog they pick out of the box. It stains your hands and mouth and consumes a lot of paper.

[0056] Next, a fourth embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 4, showing an example in which the food packaging container 1 of the present invention is applied to a packaging container 20 for hot dogs. FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing an example in which the food packaging container 1 of the present invention is applied to a packaging container 20 for hot dogs.

[0057] Next, a hot dog packaging container 20 shown in FIG. 4 shows an example in which a hot dog 21 is contained in the hot dog packaging container 20. In addition, the hot dog packaging container 20 shown in Figure 4 shows an example in which a hot dog 21 is placed on the first sheet portion 2, and the end portions of the hot dog 21 are placed in the bag portions 5 on both sides which have open openings 6, and the two bag portions 5 and one first sheet portion 2 are completed as a container for containing the hot dog 21.

[0058] In addition, in the hot dog packaging container 20 shown in Figure 4, when a hot dog 21 is placed on the first sheet portion 2, the weight of the hot dog 21 opens the opening 6 that is approximately opposite the bag portion, thereby accommodating the edge of the hot dog 21 and, since the semicircular portion at the end of the opening 6 is continuous with the first sheet portion 2, the hot dog packaging container 20 has a structure that functions as a container. At this time, the expanded first sheet portion 2 assumes a generally horizontal cylindrical shape, and the flexible characteristics of the sheet allow it to gently engage with the curved sides of the hot dog 21 and accommodate it.

[0059] In addition, the hot dog packaging container 20 shown in Figure 4 is characterized by a structure in which a single sheet is sandwiched between two bags, and serves two purposes: it provides packaging that holds and stabilizes the hot dog 21, and also serves as a tabletop container. That is, the hot dog packaging container 20 shown in FIG. 4 has two pouch portions 5 formed at both ends of the first sheet portion 2, which serve as two side walls and thus function as a container. In addition, the hot dog packaging container 20 shown in Figure 4 stores both end portions of a hot dog 21 in two approximately conical bag portions 5, and the first sheet portion 2 has an approximately cylindrical shape facing sideways, so the container is completed with a structure consisting of two approximately conical shapes on both sides of the approximately cylindrical shape.

[0060] Furthermore, the hot dog packaging container 20 shown in FIG. 4 is characterized in that the bag portion 5 is formed on the back surface of the first sheet portion 2 where the bag portion 5 is not formed. The bag portions 5 formed on the back surface and facing each other are designed so that the consumer can insert his / her fingers and hold the hot dog 21 in a pinch.
