Solution Overview

Problem

Paper packaging sheets for absorbent articles tend to tear easily, compromising their usability and touch, and existing solutions to enhance strength often result in rigidity and loss of flexibility.

Innovation Solution

A paper packaging sheet with inward folding and sealed edges, featuring tensile elongation of 15% or more in both longitudinal and transverse directions, and optimized tensile strength, using crepe paper with controlled crepe ratio to maintain flexibility and resist tearing.

1Strength

If the packaging sheet is made thicker to prevent tearing, then the strength is improved, but the sheet becomes hard and compromises the touch

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

The invention changes the physical parameters of the paper packaging sheet by controlling tensile elongation in both longitudinal and transverse directions to be 15% or more. This parameter adjustment allows the sheet to maintain high tear resistance without increasing thickness, thereby preserving the soft touch quality. The specific elongation thresholds serve as critical parameters that resolve the contradiction between strength and tactile comfort.

Solution Approach 2:

The invention uses composite paper structures with specific fiber compositions and bonding characteristics to achieve both high strength and softness. By combining different papermaking components and controlling the internal structure, the packaging sheet attains enhanced tear resistance while maintaining a gentle touch, eliminating the need to increase thickness for strength improvement.

Solution Approach 1:

The invention fundamentally changes the strength parameters of thin paper by specifying minimum tensile elongation values of 15% or more in both directions. This allows thin packaging sheets to achieve exceptional tear resistance without compromising the soft touch quality, effectively decoupling the relationship between thickness and strength that traditionally existed in paper materials.
