Background Technology

[0003] Generally, when shipping fresh food or goods at risk of damage, cushioning / insulating packaging materials such as air bubble wrap with multiple air layers (cells) formed inside are widely used. As part of this, a cushioning packaging bag with a continuous heat-resistant member formed therein was proposed in Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1084301.

[0004] However, in the case of the aforementioned domestic registered patent publication No. 10-1084301, there is a problem in that the thermal insulation performance of the packaging material is reduced due to heat exchange occurring at the thermal junction line between the air columns.

[0005] Furthermore, the multi-cell structure packaging material proposed in the aforementioned Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1084301, etc., has a structure in which each air pocket is independently sealed, causing serious inconvenience when disposing of the packaging material after use.

[0006] Specifically, the volume of packaging materials must be minimized for volume-based waste disposal and recycling; however, this presents a problem in that it requires significant inconvenience and labor, as users must manually burst numerous cells one by one or use sharp tools, including utility knives, to burst them all.

[0015] In addition, it is preferable that one or more check valves are provided on the front side of any one of the multiple cells of step a).

[0017] Furthermore, in step a) above, it is preferable that the left-right width from one side to the other of the connecting part is formed to be larger than the left-right width from one side to the other of each of the plurality of first joining lines.

[0019] In addition, in step a) above, it is preferable that the connecting part be formed as one of a through hole, a through slit, or an incision line.

[0021] Here, in step a), it is preferable that the incision line forming the connecting part be formed as a loop-shaped incision line with a portion open.

[0037] The present invention has the effect of significantly improving thermal insulation performance by more easily preventing heat exchange phenomena at a plurality of first joint lines, which are the joint portions of a first intermediate sheet and a second intermediate sheet, through filled air flowing into the interior of a plurality of lower auxiliary cells, the lower part of which is closed by a lower sheet, and filled air flowing into the interior of a plurality of upper auxiliary cells, the upper part of which is closed by an upper sheet.

[0038] In addition, there is an effect of being able to quickly and easily introduce air into all of the plurality of cells, the plurality of lower auxiliary cells, and the plurality of upper auxiliary cells through one or more check valves provided in any one of the plurality of cells.

[0039] Furthermore, when disposing of the packaging material of the present invention, there is no inconvenience for the user to burst all of the multiple cells directly or using a sharp tool including a cutter knife; even if the user bursts any one of the multiple cells, any one of the multiple lower auxiliary cells, or any one of the multiple upper auxiliary cells, all the air filled in the multiple cells, the multiple lower auxiliary cells, and the multiple upper auxiliary cells can pass through the connecting part and leak out to the outside of the packaging material at once.

Moreover, a large amount of packaging material can be easily loaded even in a confined space, so space efficiency and handling convenience when loading packaging material can be greatly improved, and the convenience of carrying for consumers can also be simultaneously improved.

[0041] Furthermore, without the need to form a release portion on the first intermediate sheet or the second intermediate sheet, the first intermediate sheet and the lower sheet can be easily joined at regular intervals through a second bonding line formed by adhesion, and the second intermediate sheet and the upper sheet can be easily joined at regular intervals through a third bonding line formed by adhesion, thereby greatly improving the workability of the operator, as well as significantly enhancing productivity and economic efficiency through process shortening and process simplification.

[0042] In addition, due to the closed joint line, air introduced into any one of the plurality of cells through the check valve is not leaked to other places, such as the forward direction of the plurality of cells, and can be rapidly introduced into all of the plurality of cells, all of the plurality of lower auxiliary cells, and all of the plurality of upper auxiliary cells through the connecting part, and there is an effect of maintaining a state in which air is independently filled in all of the plurality of lower auxiliary cells, all of the plurality of upper auxiliary cells, and all of the plurality of cells.

[0045] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the attached drawings. Of course, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments, and various modifications can be made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technical essence of the present invention.

[0047] FIG. 1 is a block diagram schematically illustrating a method for manufacturing a packaging material with excellent thermal insulation properties, which is an embodiment of the present invention.

[0049] A method for manufacturing a packaging material with excellent thermal insulation properties, which is an embodiment of the present invention, comprises a lower sheet, a first intermediate sheet disposed on the lower sheet, a second intermediate sheet disposed on the first intermediate sheet, and an upper sheet disposed on the second intermediate sheet. As shown in FIG. 1, the method comprises a) a step of joining the first intermediate sheet and the second intermediate sheet (hereinafter referred to as 'step a'), and b) a step of joining the lower sheet and the upper sheet (hereinafter referred to as 'step b').

[0051] FIGS. 2 and FIGS. 3 are perspective views schematically illustrating the process of supplying a check valve to the first intermediate seat.

[0053] First, prior to the above step a), a first intermediate seat supply step (hereinafter referred to as 'pre-a1'), a check valve supply step (hereinafter referred to as 'pre-a2'), a first intermediate seat and check valve joining step (hereinafter referred to as 'pre-a3'), and a second intermediate seat supply step (hereinafter referred to as 'pre-a4') may be performed.

[0054] The above pre-a1) step is a step of supplying a first intermediate sheet to form a plurality of cells together with the second intermediate sheet.

[0055] The first intermediate sheet, the check valve described below, the second intermediate sheet, the lower sheet, and the upper sheet may be formed in the form of a transparent or opaque film, for example, and may be made of various materials such as synthetic resins including polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and nylon (NY).

[0056] As a method of supplying the first intermediate sheet, the check valve, the second intermediate sheet, the lower sheet, and the upper sheet respectively, various supply methods may be applied, such as a roll supply method in which the sheets are unwound from a roll and supplied as needed, a sheet cutting supply method in which the sheets are cut to a certain length and supplied one by one, and a vacuum suction supply method in which the sheets are lifted and moved one by one using a vacuum suction device.

[0057] The above pre-a2) step is a step of supplying a check valve (20) to the upper front side of the first intermediate seat (30) as seen in FIGS. 2 and 3.

[0058] The front side of the check valve (20) can be exposed for a certain length in the forward direction of the first intermediate seat (30).

[0059] The above pre-a3) step is a step for joining the first intermediate sheet (30) and the check valve (20) through a joining line (2) so that the check valve (20) supplied to the front upper side of the first intermediate sheet (30) does not move.

[0060] As shown in FIG. 3, the joint line (2) can be formed on one side and the other side of the check valve (20) respectively, in a state where it is extended to a certain length in the front-rear direction of the check valve (20).

[0061] The above joint line (2) can be formed in various ways, for example, by forming a fusion or laminating fusion using various types of fusion machines such as ultrasonic welding machines and thermal welding machines.

[0062] Alternatively, the joint line (2) may be formed by bonding with an adhesive applied by an adhesive application device between the check valve (20) and the first intermediate sheet (30), or by laminating bonding, or by a needle dispensing method in which an adhesive is precisely discharged through a syringe-shaped nozzle.

[0064] FIG. 4 is a bottom perspective view schematically showing the process of supplying a second intermediate sheet to the upper part of a first intermediate sheet, and FIG. 5 is a perspective view schematically showing the state in which a second intermediate sheet is seated on the upper part of a first intermediate sheet.

[0066] The above pre-a4) step is a step of supplying the second intermediate sheet (31) to the upper part of the first intermediate sheet (30) which is fused with the check valve (20) as seen in FIGS. 4 and 5.

[0068] FIG. 6 is a schematic perspective view showing the state in which the first intermediate sheet and the second intermediate sheet are joined, and FIG. 7 is a partially cut-and-enlarged perspective view along the line A-A of FIG. 6.

[0070] Step a) above is a step of joining the first intermediate sheet (30) and the second intermediate sheet (31) at regular intervals through a plurality of first joining lines (4) so ​​that a plurality of cells (C1) through which air is introduced through the check valve (20) are formed between the first intermediate sheet (30) and the second intermediate sheet (31), as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7.

[0071] One of the above check valves (20) may be provided on one side of the front portion of any one of the plurality of cells (C1).

[0072] The plurality of first joint lines (4) can be formed at regular intervals from one side of the plurality of cells (C1) to the other side, while extending for a certain length in the front-rear direction of the plurality of cells (C1).

[0073] The above plurality of first bond lines (4) can be formed in various ways, and for example, can be formed by fusion or laminating fusion using various types of fusion machines such as ultrasonic welding machines and thermal welding machines.

[0074] Alternatively, the plurality of first bonding lines (4) may be formed by an adhesive applied by an adhesive application device between the first intermediate sheet (30) and the second intermediate sheet (31), or by a laminating bonding method, or by a needle dispensing method in which an adhesive is precisely dispensed through a syringe-shaped nozzle.

[0075] Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 6, one or more connecting portions (41) through which air introduced into the plurality of cells (C1) passes can be formed in the front and rear directions of the plurality of first connecting portions (4) by a connecting portion forming device.

[0076] The above connecting part (41) can be formed by post-processing by the connecting part forming device after the first intermediate sheet (30) and the second intermediate sheet (31) are joined by the plurality of first connecting lines (4).

[0077] Alternatively, the above-mentioned connecting portion (41) may be pre-processed and formed by the connecting portion forming device at the portion of the intermediate sheet (30) and the portion of the second intermediate sheet (31) corresponding to the location where the plurality of first connecting lines (4) are scheduled to be formed before the first intermediate sheet (30) and the second intermediate sheet (31) are joined.

[0078] In order to allow air introduced into any one of the plurality of cells (C1) through one of the check valves (20) to be quickly introduced into all of the plurality of cells (C1), all of the plurality of lower auxiliary cells (C2) to be described later, and all of the plurality of upper auxiliary cells (C3) to be described later through the connecting part (41), the left-right width from one side to the other of the connecting part (41) may be formed to be larger than the left-right width from one side to the other of each of the plurality of first connecting lines (4).

[0079] The above-mentioned connecting part (41) can be made of various types, and for example, it can be made of a through hole of various shapes such as a circular shape, an elliptical shape, etc.

[0080] Alternatively, the above-mentioned connecting part (41) may be formed as a through slit extending a certain length in the front-rear direction of the plurality of cells (C1).

[0081] Alternatively, the above-mentioned connecting part (41) may be formed as a sheath-shaped incision line extending from one side of the plurality of cells (C1) to the other side for a certain length.

[0082] Alternatively, to prevent loss phenomena in which the portions of the first intermediate sheet (30) and the second intermediate sheet (31) corresponding to the communication portion (41) are cut off and completely detached from the first intermediate sheet (30) and the second intermediate sheet (31) respectively during the process of forming the communication portion (41), the cut line that can form the communication portion (41), although not shown in the drawing, may be formed as a loop-shaped cut line with a part of an open shape, such as a 'C' shape, a '∪' shape, or a '∨' shape.

[0083] The above-mentioned connecting part forming device may be made of various types, such as a known punching machine for forming a through hole, a known slit forming device for forming a through slit, or a known cut line forming device for forming a cut line.

[0085] FIG. 8 is a schematic perspective view showing a state in which a non-bonded portion is formed in a part of a plurality of first bonding lines, and FIG. 9 is a partially cut enlarged perspective view along line B-B of FIG. 8.

[0087] Next, in order to allow air to be rapidly and easily diffused and supplied to all of the plurality of cells (C1), a non-bonded portion (42) connecting each of the plurality of cells (C1) may be formed in a part of the plurality of first bonding lines (4) formed in step a).

[0088] As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the above non-bonded portions (42) may be formed at regular intervals in the front-rear direction of each of the plurality of first bonding lines (4).

[0089] The above non-bonded portion (42) can be formed by the first intermediate sheet (30) and the second intermediate sheet (31), which correspond to the location where the plurality of first bonding lines (4) are scheduled to be formed, not being bonded to each other.

[0090] Air introduced into one cell (C1) through the check valve (20) can be introduced into all of the plurality of cells (C1) while passing through the non-junction (42).

[0092] FIG. 10 is a bottom perspective view schematically showing the process of supplying a first intermediate sheet to the upper part of a lower sheet, FIG. 11 is a bottom perspective view schematically showing the state in which the first intermediate sheet is seated on the upper part of a lower sheet, FIG. 12 is a bottom perspective view schematically showing the state in which the first intermediate sheet and the lower sheet are joined, and FIG. 13 is a partially cut-and-enlarged perspective view along the line C-C of FIG. 12.

[0094] Next, step b) is a step of joining the lower sheet (10) to the lower part of the first intermediate sheet (30) and joining the upper sheet (40) to the upper part of the second intermediate sheet (31).

[0095] The above step b) may be broadly comprised of, for example, as shown in FIG. 1, b1) a lower sheet supply step (hereinafter referred to as 'step b1'), b2) a first intermediate sheet and lower sheet joining step (hereinafter referred to as 'step b2'), b3) an upper sheet supply step (hereinafter referred to as 'step b3'), and b4) a second intermediate sheet and upper sheet joining step (hereinafter referred to as 'step b4').

[0096] Step b1) above is a step of supplying a lower sheet (10) to the lower part of the first intermediate sheet (30) to form a plurality of lower auxiliary cells (C2) together with the first intermediate sheet (30) as shown in FIG. 10.

[0097] Step b2) above is a step of forming a plurality of lower auxiliary cells (C2) that communicate with the plurality of cells (C1) so that air is introduced through the connecting part (41) in the lower direction of the plurality of first connecting lines (4) as seen in FIG. 13, by joining the first intermediate sheet (30) and the lower sheet (10) at regular intervals through the second connecting line (6) as seen in FIG. 12 so that the lower sheet (10) supplied to the lower part of the first intermediate sheet (30) as seen in FIG. 11 does not flow, and so that air is introduced through the connecting part (41).

[0098] As shown in FIG. 13, the second joint line (6) can be positioned at the bottom of each of the plurality of cells (C1) and extended to a certain length in the front-rear direction of the plurality of cells (C1).

[0099] For this purpose, for example, the second bonding line (6) may be formed by bonding or laminating bonding by an adhesive applied by an adhesive application device or the like, on the upper surface portion of the lower sheet (10) facing the lower middle portion of the plurality of cells (C1) or on the lower surface portion of the first middle sheet (30), or by a needle dispensing method in which the adhesive is precisely discharged through a syringe-shaped nozzle.

[0100] Alternatively, the second joint line (6) may be formed by fusion or laminating fusion using various types of fusion machines, such as the ultrasonic fusion machine or the thermal fusion machine.

[0101] There is a significant problem in that, during the process of fusing the first intermediate sheet (30) and the lower sheet (10) through the second bonding line (6) formed by fusion, the portion of the second intermediate sheet (31) corresponding to the upper inner surface of each of the plurality of cells (C1) and the portion of the first intermediate sheet (30) corresponding to the lower inner surface of each of the plurality of cells (C1) are unintentionally fused together, making it difficult to secure the inner space of the plurality of cells (C1), and thus the ease of forming the plurality of cells (C1) is likely to be reduced.

[0102] To resolve such problems, a release portion (5 in FIG. 4 and FIG. 13), which can be made of various types such as heat-fusing prevention ink with a shape corresponding to the second bonding line (6) formed by fusion, may be formed on the upper portion of the first intermediate sheet (30) corresponding to the formation location of the second bonding line (6) or printed on the lower portion of the second intermediate sheet (31) corresponding to the formation location of the third bonding line (7) formed by fusion, as described later. However, this causes the addition of a separate release portion printing process, which complicates the production process and increases manufacturing costs.

[0103] Therefore, preferably, the first intermediate sheet (30) and the lower sheet (10) are bonded together at regular intervals through the second bonding line (6) without a separate process for forming the aforementioned molding part, thereby shortening and simplifying the manufacturing process to improve productivity and economic efficiency, and maximizing the convenience of the worker.

[0105] FIG. 14 is a perspective view schematically showing the process of supplying an upper sheet to the upper part of a second intermediate sheet, FIG. 15 is a perspective view schematically showing the state in which the upper sheet is seated on the upper part of the second intermediate sheet, FIG. 16 is a perspective view schematically showing the state in which the second intermediate sheet and the upper sheet are joined, and FIG. 17 is a partially cut-and-enlarged perspective view along the line D-D of FIG. 16.

[0107] Step b3) above is a step of supplying an upper sheet (40) to the upper part of the second intermediate sheet (31) to form a plurality of upper auxiliary cells (C3) together with the second intermediate sheet (31) as seen in FIG. 14.

[0108] Step b4) above is a step of forming a plurality of upper auxiliary cells (C3) that communicate with the plurality of cells (C1) so that air is introduced through the connecting part (41) in the upper direction of the plurality of first connecting lines (4) as seen in FIG. 17, by joining the second intermediate sheet (31) and the upper sheet (40) at regular intervals through the third connecting line (7) as seen in FIG. 16 so that the upper sheet (40) supplied to the upper part of the second intermediate sheet (31) as seen in FIG. 14 and FIG. 15 does not flow, and so that air is introduced through the connecting part (41) as seen in FIG. 17.

[0109] As shown in FIG. 17, the third joint line (7) can be positioned on the upper part of each of the plurality of cells (C1) in a state where it is extended to a certain length in the front-rear direction of the plurality of cells (C1).

[0110] For this purpose, for example, the third bonding line (7) may be formed by bonding or laminating bonding by an adhesive applied by an adhesive application device or the like, on the lower surface portion of the upper sheet (40) facing the upper middle portion of the plurality of cells (C1) or on the upper surface portion of the second middle sheet (31), or by a needle dispensing method in which the adhesive is precisely discharged through a syringe-shaped nozzle.

[0111] Alternatively, the third joint line (7) may be formed by fusion or laminating fusion using various types of fusion machines, such as the ultrasonic fusion machine or the thermal fusion machine.

[0112] However, if the third bonding line (7) is formed by fusion, the same problems caused by the second bonding line (6) formed by fusion described above occur. Therefore, it is preferable to allow the second intermediate sheet (31) and the upper sheet (40) to be bonded at regular intervals through the third bonding line (7) without a separate process of forming the release part (5), thereby shortening and simplifying the manufacturing process to improve productivity and economic efficiency, and maximizing the convenience of the worker.

[0113] Meanwhile, the bonding process of the upper sheet (40) may be performed after the bonding process of the lower sheet (10), or the bonding process of the lower sheet (10) may be performed after the bonding process of the upper sheet (40).

[0114] Alternatively, although not shown in the drawing, the lower sheet (10) and the upper sheet (40) may be fused and bonded to the first intermediate sheet (30) and the second intermediate sheet (31) at once through a pair of welding machines positioned respectively in the lower direction of the lower sheet (10) and the upper direction of the upper sheet (40).

[0115] Additionally, although not shown in the drawing, in order to improve the adhesive efficiency of the first intermediate sheet (30) and the lower sheet (10) and the adhesive efficiency of the second intermediate sheet (31) and the upper sheet (40), the second bonding line (6) and the third bonding line (7) are each formed in a rectangular shape, so that the entire upper intermediate portion and the entire lower intermediate portion of the plurality of cells (C3) between the plurality of lower auxiliary cells (C1) and the plurality of upper auxiliary cells (C3) can be covered over a wider range.

[0116] Additionally, although not shown in the drawing, in order to allow air to be quickly and easily diffused and supplied to all of the plurality of lower auxiliary cells (C2) and all of the plurality of upper auxiliary cells (C3), one or more non-joint sections connecting each of the plurality of lower auxiliary cells (C2) may be formed at regular intervals in the front-rear direction of the second joint line (6), and one or more non-joint sections connecting each of the plurality of upper auxiliary cells (C3) may also be formed at regular intervals in the front-rear direction of the third joint line (7).

[0117] The non-bonded portion of the second bonding line (6) can be formed by the first intermediate sheet (30) and the lower sheet (10) not being bonded to each other.

[0120] FIG. 18 is a schematic perspective view showing a packaging material with excellent thermal insulation properties, which is an embodiment of the present invention.

[0122] Next, c) a step of forming a closed joint line (hereinafter referred to as 'step c') may be included, wherein the front portion of the plurality of cells (C1), the front portion of the plurality of lower auxiliary cells (C2), and the front portion of the plurality of upper auxiliary cells (C2) are closed by joining the front side of the first intermediate sheet (30), the front side of the check valve (20), the front side of the second intermediate sheet (31), the front side of the lower sheet (10), and the front side of the upper sheet (40) through a closed joint line (8).

[0123] In step c) above, the closed joint line (8) can be formed to extend left and right from one side to the other side of the upper sheet (40) for a certain length, as shown in FIG. 18, so as to be orthogonal to the plurality of first joint lines (4), second joint lines (6), third joint lines (7), and joint lines (2).

[0124] The above closed joint line (8) can be formed in various ways, for example, by various types of welding machines such as ultrasonic welding machines and thermal welding machines, or through laminating welding.

[0125] Alternatively, the above-mentioned closed joint line (8) can be formed by adhesive formation or laminating adhesion with an adhesive discharged by an adhesive application device, or by a needle dispensing method that precisely discharges the adhesive through a syringe-shaped nozzle, etc.

[0126] Due to the above-mentioned closed joint line (8), there is no risk of air flowing into any one of the plurality of cells (C1) through the check valve (20) leaking to another place, such as the forward direction of the plurality of cells (C1), and there is an advantage in that air can be independently filled in all of the plurality of lower auxiliary cells (C2), all of the plurality of upper auxiliary cells (C3), and all of the plurality of cells (C1).

[0127] Next, d) a packaging material edge joining step (hereinafter referred to as 'd' step) may be included, in which the entire edge of the packaging material (1), comprising the lower sheet (10), the first intermediate sheet (30), the second intermediate sheet (31), and the upper sheet (40), is joined through the edge joining line (9).

[0128] In step d) above, the edge joint line (9) can be extended along the edge of the packaging material (1).

[0129] The above edge joint line (9) can be formed in various ways, for example, by being formed by welding through various types of welding machines such as ultrasonic welding machines, heat welding machines, or laminating welding, so that the entire edge of the packaging material (1) can be welded.

[0130] As another example, the edge bonding line (9) can be bonded in various ways, such as bonding or laminating bonding with an adhesive dispensed by an adhesive dispensing device, or a needle dispensing method in which an adhesive is precisely dispensed through a syringe-shaped nozzle, thereby bonding the entire edge of the packaging material (1).

[0131] Meanwhile, step c) above may be omitted and step d) above may be performed, in which case the edge joint line (9) located at the front edge of the packaging material (1) among the edge joint lines (9) may form the closed joint line (8).

[0132] Alternatively, step d) may be performed after step c), or step c) may be performed after step d), and at this time, the edge joint line (9) may be formed on one edge, the other edge, and the rear edge of the packaging material (1).

[0141] Furthermore, when disposing of the packaging material (1) of the present invention, there is no inconvenience of the user having to burst all of the multiple cells (C1) directly or using a sharp tool including a cutter knife, as shown in FIG. 21. Even if the user bursts any one of the multiple cells (C1), any one of the multiple lower auxiliary cells (C2), or any one of the multiple upper auxiliary cells (C3), all of the air filled in the multiple cells (C1), the multiple lower auxiliary cells (C2), and the multiple upper auxiliary cells (C3) can pass through the connecting part (41) and leak out of the packaging material (1) at once. Therefore, the volume of the packaging material (1) of the present invention can be minimized and disposed of within a short period of time, which has the advantage of greatly improving usability.

Furthermore, as a result, a large amount of packaging material (1) can be transported in a loaded state during the transportation process of the packaging material (1), so transportability can be greatly improved. In addition, a large amount of packaging material (1) can be easily loaded even in a narrow space, so space efficiency and handling convenience when loading the packaging material (1) can be greatly improved, and the convenience of carrying for consumers can also be simultaneously improved.

[0143] The air sequentially introduced into the plurality of cells (C1), the plurality of lower auxiliary cells (C2), and the plurality of upper auxiliary cells (C3), respectively, may consist of various types, such as air containing inert gases including nitrogen, argon, krypton, helium, neon, xenon, and radon.

[0144] Although not shown in the drawing, air can be introduced through the air injector by sequentially passing through the check valve (20) and the connecting part (41) into the plurality of cells (C1), the plurality of lower auxiliary cells (C2), and the plurality of upper auxiliary cells (C3).

[0145] The above air injector may be of various types, such as a general air injector that is a portable pump, a compressor, a blower, etc., or an inert gas injector that injects air containing an inert gas.

[0147] FIG. 22 is a partially enlarged cutaway view schematically showing different arrangement states of a check valve.

[0149] Next, one of the above check valves (20) may be provided on the other side of the front portion of any one of the plurality of cells (C1), as shown in FIG. 22.

[0151] FIG. 23 is a partially enlarged cutaway view schematically showing another arrangement of the check valve.

[0153] Alternatively, in order to improve the inflow speed of air sequentially flowing into the plurality of cells (C1), the plurality of lower auxiliary cells (C2), and the plurality of upper auxiliary cells (C3), one or more check valves (20) may be provided at regular intervals from one side to the other side of any one of the cells (C1) in step a), as shown in FIG. 23, on the front side of any one of the cells (C1).

[0155] FIG. 24 is a partially enlarged cutaway view schematically showing another arrangement of the check valve and another arrangement of the molded part.

[0157] Alternatively, one of the check valves (20) may be provided in the middle of the front side of any one of the plurality of cells (C1), as shown in FIG. 24.

[0159] FIG. 25 is a perspective view schematically showing a different arrangement of the third joint line, and FIG. 26 is a cross-sectional view along the line F-F of FIG. 25.

[0161] Alternatively, in order to minimize the volume of the plurality of lower auxiliary cells (C2) and the plurality of upper auxiliary cells (C3) so that the packaging material (1) of the present invention can be used more easily for takeout, as shown in FIG. 26, the second joining line (6) may be formed at regular intervals from one side to the other side of the plurality of cells (C1) on the lower part of the plurality of cells (C1).

[0162] In addition, as shown in FIG. 25 and FIG. 26, the third connecting line (7) may be formed at regular intervals from one side to the other side of the plurality of cells (C1) on the upper part of the plurality of cells (C1).
