Description

Package and method for manufacturing same

Technical Field

The present invention relates to a package capable of storing a large number of sheet-like foods such as chewing gum and chocolate, and a method for manufacturing the same.

Background

Conventionally, as sheet-like foods such as chewing gum and chocolate, a package is used in which each sheet-like food is packaged with a packaging paper and the sheet-like foods are arranged and housed in a packaging container.

As a packaging method for easily taking out such packaged foods, for example, there is a package body as described in patent document 1.

However, in general, since the sheet-like food is stored in a small packaging container so as to be portable, it is difficult to store many foods at the same time so that many people can eat the foods at the same time.

As another package from which a sheet-like food product can be easily taken out, patent document 2 discloses a packaging container for storing the sheet-like food product in a standing state, and patent document 3 discloses a method for producing the packaging container.

However, since these packages have a layered structure in which the height of the rear row is higher than the height of the front row, when a large-capacity package is to be produced by arranging two or more layers of sheet-like food, in particular, a useless space is created by raising the layers after the second layer. Therefore, a waste of cost is generated, and the size of the package becomes excessively large. Further, since the shape of the container is limited to the shape of the outer box, i.e., a rectangular parallelepiped shape, the method of storing many sheet-like foods lacks freedom of movement.

On the other hand, as a packaging container for simultaneously storing a large number of foods, a package in which granular chewing gum is packed in a container is used, and this configuration enables a large number of people to eat the chewing gum.

However, when such a structure is used for a sheet-like food, the food may be broken while being intermediately stirred. In addition, since the hand comes into contact with other granular chewing gum when the hand is inserted into the container, the problem of hygiene cannot be eliminated. Further, since the opening of the container is made small to prevent the granular chewing gum from leaking and scattering, there is a problem that it is difficult to take out the intended granular chewing gum, particularly in the case where only a small amount of granular chewing gum remains near the bottom of the container.

Detailed Description

The first embodiment of the present invention relates to a package for a sheet-like food such as chewing gum and chocolate.

Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing a package 100 according to the present embodiment.

In the present embodiment, a sheet-like food wrapped with a wrapping sheet is connected and fixed by a connection mount, thereby forming a sheet-like food unit. The package 100 is configured by fixing a plurality of sheet-like food units to the container 101.

The packaging sheet of the present invention is not particularly limited, and any material of paper for packaging sheet-like foods such as chewing gum and chocolate, plastic such as polypropylene, metal such as aluminum, or the like, or a packaging sheet obtained by laminating two or more of the above materials can be used.

The packaging with the packaging sheet of the present invention also includes, for example, enclosing a sheet-like food in a thin plastic container.

Here, as shown in fig. 2, in the sheet-like food product 200 packaged with the packaging sheet, a perforation line (japanese: ミシン mesh) as a weak portion 202 is formed linearly in the width direction of the sheet-like food product 200 at a position slightly closer to one end than the center position in the longitudinal direction of the packaging sheet, for example, and the fixing portion 203 located at the one end side and the extracting portion 204 located at the other end side can be separated by cutting the packaging sheet along the perforation line.

The fragile portion 202 is not limited to the perforation line as long as it can be cut when a tensile force is applied between both end portions of the packaging sheet, and may have a shape such as a groove or a hollow space depending on the material, thickness, cross-sectional shape, and the like of the packaging sheet. Therefore, for example, in the case where the sheet-like food is enclosed in a plastic container as described above, the fragile portion 202 can be formed by providing a groove, a hollow space, or the like in the container.

As shown in fig. 3, the packaged food sheets 200 are arranged close to each other in the width direction, and the surfaces of the fixing portions 203 of the respective packaging sheets of the food sheets 200 are continuously fixed to the rectangular joint sheet 305 so as to be along the arranged food sheets 200, whereby the food sheets 200 are joined to each other to form the integrated food sheet unit 300.

Such fixing may be performed on both the upper surface and the lower surface of the fixing portion 203, or may be performed on either surface, depending on the required fixing strength and the like.

As the connection interleaving paper 305, paper, a plastic film, a metal foil, or a composite sheet of two or more of them can be used. For example, an aluminum tape paper obtained by laminating aluminum foil and paper is preferable because it has a good shape-retaining property due to the rigidity of the aluminum foil, is easy to handle in the production process, and has a high thermal conductivity so that heat generated by the heater for bonding can be easily transferred to the hot-melt adhesive during production.

In the illustrated example, both ends of the connection mount paper 305 continuously fixed to both surfaces of the fixing portion 203 of each wrapping sheet extend outward of both ends in the width direction of the sheet-like food 200 to be connected.

This is due to the following: by folding back the extended portion to the inside, each wrapping sheet can be held more firmly by the joint interleaving paper 305, and the sheet-like food unit 300 can be handled easily during manufacturing. Therefore, for example, when thick paper or the like is used as the connection interleaving paper 305 and the reinforcement is not necessary, the extension portion may not be formed.

The plurality of sheet-like food units 300 are aligned and then fixed to the container 101 by an adhesive, ultrasonic sealing, or the like, thereby forming the package 100.

As the container 101, a container having a polygonal prism shape such as a quadrangular prism or a pentagonal prism can be used in addition to a container having a rectangular parallelepiped shape or a cylindrical shape which is molded in advance. In addition, there may be a hinged outer lid, a built-in lid.

Here, by changing the number of the food pieces 200 contained in each food piece unit 300 and the number of the food piece units 300 fixed to the container 101, the package 100 having any shape can be formed.

For example, as in the case of using the cylindrical container shown in fig. 4, a storage method in which a plurality of sheet-like food units 300 are arranged in a plurality of rows in parallel with the width direction of the sheet-like food 200 can be employed.

In order to easily take out the sheet-like food 200, it is preferable that the extraction portion 204 of the packaged sheet-like food 200 protrudes upward by at least 1cm from the edge of the container 101.

The material of the container 101 is not particularly limited, and paper, plastic, resin, metal, or the like can be used.

In the present invention, the number of the sheet food items 200 per one sheet food item unit 300 and the number of the sheet food item units 300 per one package 100 can be arbitrarily determined. Therefore, the shapes of the various containers 101 and the arrangement method of the various sheet-like foods 200 in the package 100 can be arbitrarily determined. In all the sheet food units 300 included in one package 100, the number of the sheet food 200 does not need to be the same. A plurality of sheet-like food units 300 having different numbers of sheet-like food items 200 may be arranged according to the shape of the finally obtained package 100 and the shape of the package 101.

Thus, the package 100 can contain the respective sheet-like foods 200 in the container 101 without a gap, and therefore, no unnecessary space is generated in the container 101. Therefore, reduction in cost of the packaging material can also be achieved.

Since the sheet-like food 200 is fixed by the connection slip sheet 305 and the container 101, the sheet-like food 200 is not broken by stirring inside the container, and can be stably stored regardless of the number of sheet-like food 200 per sheet-like food unit 300 and the number of sheet-like food 300 per package 100. Therefore, even when the number of the sheet-like food items 200 is reduced, the remaining sheet-like food items 200 can be easily extracted.

If the number of the sheet-like food units 300 per package 100 is reduced, the package 100 can be made thin, and thus, transportation is facilitated. On the other hand, if the number of the sheet-like food items 200 per one sheet-like food unit 300 and the number of the sheet-like food units 300 per one package 100 are increased, the package 100 can be stably placed on a table, a car, or the like while being accommodated in the container 101 having a large bottom area.

Further, by grasping and pulling out the extraction portion 204 of the packaging sheet, the sheet-like food can be taken out in a state where the packaging sheet is cut at the fragile portion 202 and the upper portion of the sheet-like food 200 is exposed. The sheet-like food can be easily taken out and hygienically eaten by pinching with fingers or directly holding with a mouth. Therefore, even if the user cannot eat the food with one hand, the food can be easily taken out and eaten by directly gripping the food with the mouth. Further, since the respective sheet-like food items 200 are individually packaged, there is no problem in terms of hygiene caused by touching with hands when taking out the food items.

The second embodiment of the present invention relates to a package in which a plurality of sheet-like food units 300 are bundled to form a bundled body and the bundled body is fixed to a container in the first embodiment.

As shown in fig. 5, the bundling body 400 bundles the plurality of sheet-like food units 300 in a state where the plurality of sheet-like food units 300 are arranged close to each other in the thickness direction of the sheet-like food 200 included in the plurality of sheet-like food units 300. The bundling method and the bundled shape may be arbitrary as long as the shape of the bundled body 400 is stable after bundling.

The sheet-like food units 300 can be bundled by using a bundling member 406 formed by enclosing a bundling cardboard composed of a bottom surface and four side surfaces in advance, and bonding the units together using an adhesive or the like. Here, the bundling is to prevent the shape of the sheet-like food units 300 from being deformed by the pressure in the thickness direction when the plurality of sheet-like food units 300 are arranged and the plurality of sheet-like food units 300 are stored in the container 101. In accordance with this purpose, for example, paper, tape, or the like may be wound around the connection base paper 305 to enclose the outer peripheries of the plurality of sheet-like food units 300 and bundled, or adjacent connection base papers 305 may be directly joined to each other using an adhesive tape. The material of the binding member 406 is not particularly limited, but in order to facilitate the removal of the sheet-like food product 200, it is preferable that the extraction portion 204 of the packaged sheet-like food product 200 protrudes upward at least 1cm or more relative to the binding member 406 in the bound state.

In the present embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the number of the sheet-like food units 300 per bundle 400, the number of the sheet-like foods 200 per sheet-like food unit 300, and the arrangement method of the sheet-like food units 300 in the bundle 400 are changed, whereby the bundle 400 can be accommodated in the container 101 having an arbitrary shape, and the package 100 having an arbitrary shape can be formed.

Further, since the sheet-like food 200 is further fixed by the binding member 406 in addition to the lining paper 305 for connection and the container 101, the sheet-like food 200 can be stored in the container 101 more stably.

The third embodiment of the present invention relates to the method for manufacturing the package 100 of the first embodiment.

As shown in fig. 6, the method of manufacturing the package 100 of the present embodiment includes the following steps.

(i) Individual packaging Process (FIG. 6 (a))

Each of the plurality of sheet-like food items is packaged using a packaging sheet.

Here, by forming the fragile portion 202 linearly around the sheet-like food product 200 at the time of packaging, when the sheet-like food product 200 is taken out from the package body 100, the packaging sheet can be cut along the fragile portion 202 to separate the fixed portion 203 located at one end of the packaged sheet-like food product 200 from the extraction portion 204 located at the other end. Therefore, it is preferable to provide the perforation line in advance in the packaging sheet before packaging.

The packaging sequence is not particularly limited, and for example, one side of the packaging sheet is folded back so as to cover half of one side in the width direction of the sheet-like food, then both ends in the length direction of the packaging sheet are folded back, and finally, the other side of the packaging sheet is folded back and packaged. As shown in fig. 2, when folding back the one side, it is preferable from the aesthetic point of view that the corners of the folds of the packaging sheet formed on the outer sides of the longitudinal both ends of the sheet-like food product 200 can be folded back obliquely inward so as not to be visible from the outside.

Further, for example, a step of wrapping the outer periphery of the sheet-like food in the lateral direction and folding back both longitudinal direction end portions thereof to perform packaging may be employed.

The sheet-like food can also be enclosed in a plastic container. In this case, the fragile portion 202 of the housing device may be formed before sealing, or the groove and the hollow space may be formed after sealing.

(ii) Alignment step (FIG. 6 (b))

The individually packaged sheet-like food 200 is arranged in the width direction thereof in a close manner by the number corresponding to each unit. The number of the sheet-like food products 200 per unit can be arbitrarily set according to the shape and size of the finally obtained package.

(iii) Unit formation Process (FIG. 6 (c))

A sheet-like food unit 300 is formed by continuously placing a connection liner paper 305 on the upper surface of the fixing portion 203 of each wrapping sheet of the sheet-like food 200 arranged in proximity thereto and fixing the same with an adhesive or the like.

On the upper and lower surfaces of the fixing portions 203 of the respective wrapping sheets of the sheet-like food products 200 arranged close to each other, a rectangular sheet of the connection base paper 305 is continuously brought into contact with the respective sheet-like food products 200 in a state of being bent along the longitudinal center line of the connection base paper 305, and is fixed with a hot melt adhesive or the like, thereby forming the sheet-like food product unit 300 in which approximately 1/2 length portions of the fixing portions 203 of the respective wrapping sheets in the longitudinal direction are covered on both sides with the connection base paper 305. Such fixing may be performed on both the upper surface and the lower surface of the fixing portion 203, or may be performed on either surface, depending on the required fixing strength and the like.

Further, both ends of the connection interleaving paper 305 continuously fixed to both surfaces of the fixing portion 203 of each wrapping sheet may be extended outward of both ends in the width direction of the sheet-like food 200 to be connected, and the extended portions may be folded inward, whereby each wrapping sheet may be more firmly held by the connection interleaving paper 305.

(iv) Laminating step (FIG. 6 (d))

The plurality of sheet-like food units 300 are stacked such that the extraction portions 204 of the sheet-like food items 200 included in the sheet-like food units 300 are all oriented in the same direction until a predetermined number of the sheet-like food items are obtained for each package.

The number of layers to be laminated and how to laminate can be arbitrarily determined depending on the shape of the finally obtained package and packaging container. In addition, it is not necessary that the number of pieces 200 contained in the piece food unit 300 is the same in all layers. The number of the sheet-like food items 200 contained in the sheet-like food units 300 of each layer may be different depending on the shape of the finally obtained package and packaging container

Here, the stacked sheet-like food units 300 may be temporarily bundled by winding wrapping paper or the like in the stacking direction so as not to collapse in a later step.

(v) Fixing step (FIG. 6 (e))

The stacked plurality of sheet-like food units 300 are fixed to the container 101 using an adhesive, ultrasonic sealing, or the like.

Through the above steps, the package 100 containing the sheet-like food 200 can be produced. According to the present embodiment, the process is simple, and therefore, the present embodiment can be realized at low cost. In addition, regardless of the desired size and shape of the package 100, the respective sheet-like food products 200 can be reliably packaged and efficiently stored.

The fourth embodiment relates to the method for manufacturing the package 100 of the second embodiment.

The present embodiment differs from the third embodiment in that: (e) the fixing step (2) includes a binding step (e-1) of binding the stacked plurality of sheet-like food units 300 before the units are fixed to the container 101, and a fixing step (e-2) of fixing the bound bodies 400 to the container 101. Hereinafter, the difference from the third embodiment will be described with reference to fig. 7.

(v) Binding step (FIG. 7 (e-1))

The bundled body 400 is produced according to the shape of the stacked plurality of sheet-like food units 300 when bundled and fixed to the container 101.

The bundling method can be arbitrarily determined according to the desired shape of the package 100 and the shape of the container 101. For example, the binding member 406 may be formed into a tray shape, the stacked sheet-like food units 300 may be fitted therein, and the bottom surfaces of the sheet-like food units 300 may be bonded to each other using a hot melt adhesive or the like, or the adjacent connection-use interleaving paper 305 of the sheet-like food units 300 may be bonded using only a hot melt adhesive or the like. The connection mount paper 305 of the stacked sheet-like food units 300 may be wrapped around the outer periphery using a binding seal, a binding string, or the like.

(vi) Fixing step (FIG. 7 (e-2))

The bundle body 400 is fixed to the container 101 using an adhesive, ultrasonic sealing, or the like.

Through the above steps, the package 100 can be manufactured at low cost, as in the third embodiment. The produced package 100 can package each sheet-like food product 200 regardless of the size and shape of the desired package, and can efficiently store the food product.

Examples

Examples of the present invention are described below, but the present invention is not limited to the examples below.

Example 1

The method for manufacturing the chewing gum package 100 of example 1 will be described in order of its steps.

(i) Individual packaging process

A strip-shaped chewing gum (448 L.times.43.3 W.times.3.4T (mm)) was prepared and cut to prepare a sheet-shaped chewing gum (43.0 L.times.12.0 W.times.3.4T (mm)). The produced sheet-like chewing gum was packaged using a packaging sheet continuously supplied from a built-in automatic splicer and provided with a perforation line at a portion 22.5mm apart in the longitudinal direction from one end portion thereof, perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, and then, as shown in fig. 2, the sheet-like chewing gum was folded in.

(ii) Alignment procedure

Six individually packaged pieces of chewing gum are arranged close to each other in the width direction and have a uniform hole line.

(iii) Cell forming process

One rectangular sheet of the connection base paper 305 continuously fed by the automatic joint with paper is brought into contact with the bottom surface of each of the packing sheets of six sheets of chewing gum arranged in the vicinity of the fixing portion 203, and the connection base paper 305 and the six sheets of chewing gum are continuously brought into contact with each other and fixed by a hot-melt adhesive or the like in a state where the connection base paper 305 is bent along the longitudinal center line of the connection base paper 305. A substantially 1/2 length portion on the side of the fixing portion 203 in the longitudinal direction of each wrapping sheet forming the sheet-like chewing gum is connected to the sheet-like food unit 300 covered on both sides with the interleaving paper 305.

(iv) Lamination step

The formed sheet-like food units 300 were stacked in a row so that the orientation of the extraction portion 204 was uniform, to produce a sheet-like food unit group of 12 days.

(v) Binding process

The sheet-like food item unit group is bound by surrounding the periphery of the connection base sheet 305 with an adhesive tape while maintaining the shape of the sheet-like food item group. A binding member 406 formed by enclosing a binding cardboard sheet having a bottom surface and four side surfaces is separately prepared, and the bottom surface is bonded to the connection base sheet 305 side of the sheet-like food unit group using a hot-melt adhesive.
