Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by controlling the loop stiffness values of different layers within specific ranges (sealant/adhesive layer: 10-80 mN, substrate layer: 2-20 mN) and maintaining their ratios within defined boundaries. This optimization of mechanical parameters enables the packaging material to apply pressure uniformly without excessive deformation, resolving the contradiction between achieving high output and preventing packaging bag deformation.
