Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To compress a bulky amount of cotton by packaging every a plurality of compressed unit cottons individually in an air-tight packaging bag. SOLUTION: A plurality of, preferably 3 to 6, units of cotton 1 are gathered together and compressed. Then, under this state, the compressed unit cotton 1 are packaged individually in an air-tight packaging bag 2 to attain an individual packaging element 3. As means for performing a compressive packaging, there are present, for example, a vacuum packaging method applied for compressive packaging of clothes or mats or a compressive packaging method in which when a plurality of units of cotton 1 are packaged in the air-tight packaging bag 2, an external pressure is applied mechanically to push out the packaging bag 2, of air thereafter the bag is sealed. A plurality of the individual packaging elements 3 are further gathered together, packaged by a packaging bag to attain the packaged body. With such an arrangement as above, it is possible to make an entire bulky state of the individual packaged element 3 and the packaged member approximately half as compared with a thickness of the original unit cotton 1.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to compressed wrapped cotton, and more particularly, to reduce the volume of cotton so that it can be conveniently used for logistics such as carrying, storing and transporting cotton, and also at a shop display site. Compression-packed cotton.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When applying makeup and removing makeup, cotton for care, especially cosmetic cotton, is widely used. This cosmetic cotton is a cotton product that has a soft touch and is excellent in water retention and water absorption. In many cases, 100% natural cotton is woven and used, and if necessary, a nonwoven fabric is laminated. And is formed in a plate-like shape having a planar square shape.

[0003] Since this cosmetic cotton is often used in a state of being folded in a U-shape and sandwiched between fingers, or in an unfolded state, its planar dimension is, for example, 60%.
Approximately 100 mm x 70 mm, with a thickness of about 4 to 6 mm, which is finished into a soft plate-shaped unit cotton. Around 100 such unit cottons are put together in a box or bag and sold as a product. That is the fact.

[0004]

Since the above-mentioned cosmetic cotton is originally formed so as to give a fluffy feeling, the cotton material contains a lot of air inside and is in a bulky state. However, if the unit cotton is wrapped as it is, the finished product will be bulky. As a result, it is inconvenient for the user to carry the device, the cost is high in logistics such as storage and transportation, and there is a problem that a useless place is taken up at the store display.

[0005] In other words, bulky cotton is not only inconvenient for storage, but also transports air in terms of logistics, so that bulky air wastefully occupies an important space during store display. , It was extremely uneconomical.

[0006] Therefore, the present invention is to provide a compressed wrapped cotton in which the bulk of the cotton is compressed to about half without reducing the usability of the cotton, and the above-mentioned problems are not solved.

[0007]

Means for Solving the Problems As means for solving the problem of the present invention, first, a unit of compressed cotton is individually packed in a plurality of sheets in an airtight packaging bag. It is a compressed wrapped cotton characterized by being wrapped.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the compressed unit cotton is individually wrapped in a plurality of air-tight packaging bags, and a plurality of the individual wrappers are combined into one package. Characteristic compressed cotton.

According to the present invention, since a plurality of compressed unit cottons are individually wrapped in an airtight packaging bag, it is possible to restore the cotton to its original bulk during storage / transportation or store display. No, the sales product is completed in about half the bulk compared to the conventional product, and the bulk of cotton will be suppressed not only when carrying, but also during logistics and store display,
When the airtight packaging bag is broken and the unit cotton inside is taken out, the compressed unit cotton absorbs the outside air and restores its original thickness, and the original cosmetic cotton with good usability is obtained. Can be

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a unit cotton of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an individual package in which a plurality of unit cottons are combined, and FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a package in which a plurality of individual packages are grouped.

As shown in FIG. 1, the unit cotton 1 is made of natural cotton or the like, and is finished plumply by a technique such as water jet processing, and is finished in a skin-friendly state with less fluff. The unit cotton may be a multilayer structure having a plurality of layers, or may be mixed with super long fiber cotton if necessary. Further, the size of the unit cotton is finished to an appropriate size and thickness depending on the usage form.

The unit cotton 1 is compressed into a plurality of sheets, preferably about 3 to 6 sheets at a time, and the unit cotton 1 compressed in the airtight packaging bag 2 is individually wrapped in this state to form an individual package 3 Get. Means for the above-mentioned compression packaging include, for example, a vacuum packaging method used in the compression packaging of clothes and futons, or a method in which a plurality of unit cotton 1 are packaged in an airtight packaging bag and mechanically pressurized. There is a compression packaging method in which air is extruded from a packaging bag and then sealed. The airtight bag 2 is not particularly limited, but it is preferable to use a polyethylene material, a polypropylene material, a polyvinylidene chloride-coated resin material, or the like in a single layer or in a laminated state.

Further, a plurality of individual packages 3, for example, 6
A package body 5 is obtained by packing about 10 to about 10 pieces together in a package bag 4. This package bag 4
Unlike the airtight packaging bag 2 described above, it is not always necessary to use an airtight material. In addition, package body 5
If a small hole 6 or the like for hanging is formed as needed, it becomes easy to use in a store display or the like.

The individual package 3 shown in FIG. 2 is obtained by heat-sealing the opening of the airtight bag 2 in a state in which five unit cottons 1 are stacked and the total thickness is compressed to about half. An example is shown, and the package body 5 in FIG. 4 shows an example in which eight individual package bodies 3 are stacked in a line and completed.
Therefore, the individual package 3 and the package 5 according to the present invention are about half as bulk as compared with the thickness of the original unit cotton 1.

[0015] For this reason, when the package 5 which is the product for sale according to the present invention is packed in a shipping box (not shown) and the product is stored or transported, the cost of transporting the product and the cost of storing the product are lower than those of the conventional product. This will be much lower than in comparison.

At the time of store display, the package 5
Therefore, at this stage, the space occupied is significantly smaller than that of the conventional product.

Further, for the user who has purchased the product for sale according to the present invention, not only the package 5 is carried as it is, but also the individual package 3 inside the package 5 by breaking the package 5.
When the individual package 3 is taken out and stored in a bag for the purpose of daily use as it is, the overall volume is reduced to about half, so that the convenience of carrying is improved. Of course, the usability when using the unit cotton 1 is not inferior to the conventional one.

[0018]

As described above, the compressed and wrapped cotton according to the first and second aspects eliminates the bulky defect of the conventional product, so that the user can carry the product in the case of carrying the product, storing and distributing the product. In each of the scenes and the storefront display scenes, there is an excellent effect that unnecessary space is not required, and transportation and storage costs can be reduced.
