Definitions
- the present invention relates to a packaging container for a microwave oven such as a packaging pouch, a cup, or a tray filled with contents such as a retort food containing a liquid substance, a solid substance, or a mixture of them.
- the packaging container of the present invention is capable of automatically releasing water vapor or the like to be generated inside the packaging container, preventing the rupture and deformation of the packaging container, scattering of the content, and allowing one to easily recognize the fact that the packaging container is opened under heating in a microwave oven.
- Heating of a packing container such as a packaging pouch, a cup, or a tray hermetically filled with a retort food, a frozen food, or the like in a microwave oven increases the pressure inside the pouch and a container due to water vapor or the like to be generated from contents under heating.
- the packaging container may tear, and the content may scatter, to thereby make the inside of the microwave oven dirty or harm a human body by burning or the like.
- an object of the present invention is to provide a packaging container for a microwave oven such as a packaging pouch, a cup, or a tray constituted by a packaging material which itself is processed with no need for a special member or a complicated step so that one can easily recognize that heat-cooking of contents in the packaging container has been completed and the packaging container has automatically opened.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a packaging container for a microwave oven capable of avoiding a risk of spilling contents in the packaging container or a risk of contact with an opening to cause a heat injury upon heating in a microwave oven.
- the inventors of the present invention have made extensive studies. As a result, they have found that the above-mentioned problems can be solved by providing, by means of printing processing or the like, a vapor release seal part having a weakened part of each of surface and back packaging materials constituting a packaging container for a microwave oven such as a packaging pouch, a cup, or a tray with a mark developing means with which exfoliation opening of the vapor release seal part can be recognized by a difference between the surface and back packaging materials.
- a packaging container for a microwave oven such as a packaging pouch, a cup, or a tray with a mark developing means with which exfoliation opening of the vapor release seal part can be recognized by a difference between the surface and back packaging materials.
- the present invention employs the following constitutions 1 to 15.
- Plastic films forming a packaging container such as a packaging pouch, a cup, and a tray for a microwave oven in the present invention employ a plastic material having heat sealing property and generally used for production of a packaging container.
- a plastic material include: monolayer films or sheets each formed of a thermoplastic resin having a heat sealing property; and multilayer films, sheets, or the like each prepared by laminating a thermoplastic resin having heat sealing property and other thermoplastic resin(s) or the like.
- plastic material having a heat sealing property examples include: a known olefin resin such as a low density polyethylene, a linear low density polyethylene, a medium density polyethylene, a high density polyethylene, a polypropylene, a propylene-ethylene copolymer, an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, an olefin-based resin subjected to graft modification with an ethylene-based unsaturated carboxylic acid or an anhydride thereof; a polyamide resin or copolyamide resin having a relatively low melting point or relatively low softening point; a polyester resin or copolyester resin; and a polycarbonate resin.
- a known olefin resin such as a low density polyethylene, a linear low density polyethylene, a medium density polyethylene, a high density polyethylene, a polypropylene, a propylene-ethylene copolymer, an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, an olefin-based resin subject
- thermoplastic resin examples include: polyolefins such as crystalline polypropylene, a crystalline propylene-ethylene copolymer, crystalline polybutene-1, crystalline poly4-methylpentene-1, low-density polyethylene, medium-density polyethylene, high-density polyethylene, an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), a saponified product of an EVA, an ethylene-ethyl acrylate copolymer (EEA), and an ion-crosslinked olefin copolymer (ionomer); aromatic vinyl copolymers such as polystyrene and a styrene-butadiene copolymer; vinyl halide polymers such as polyvinyl chloride and a vinylidene chloride resin; a polyolefins such as crystalline polypropylene, a crystalline propylene-ethylene copolymer, crystalline polybutene-1, crystalline poly4-methylpenten
- examples of various barrier films can include:
- a packaging container for a microwave oven such as a packaging pouch, a cup, or a tray is produced by forming or molding an unoriented, uniaxially oriented, or biaxially oriented film or sheet constituted by any one of the above plastic materials into a pouch and the like according to an ordinary method.
- a packaging pouch is produced by means of a laminated film composed of a thermoplastic resin having heat-sealing property and a thermoplastic resin having no heat-sealing property
- heat-sealing is performed in a state where thermoplastic resin layers each having a heat-sealing property are arranged so that each of them serves as an inner surface.
- An adhesive resin layer can be interposed between adjacent layers constituting the laminated film as required.
- Figs. 1 to 3 are views of the present invention, each showing an example of a packaging pouch for a microwave oven provided with a vapor release seal part having a weakened part.
- Fig. 1 is a front view of the packaging pouch
- Figs. 2 are enlarged schematic views each explaining the mark developing means to be provided for the vapor release seal part of the packaging pouch.
- Figs. 3 are enlarged schematic views each explaining a mark developing owing to the exfoliation opening of the vapor release seal part upon heating of the packaging pouch in a microwave oven.
- the packaging pouch 1 for a microwave oven was produced by subjecting a peripheral edge seal part 2 of a packaging material (plastic film) constituting the surface and back of the pouch to heat-sealing and by providing a corner part of the pouch with a vapor release seal part 3 having a weakened part 4.
- Notches 5 are formed in the upper part of the pouch to facilitate an opening of the pouch after the completion of cooking by means of a microwave oven.
- the weakened part 4 is formed by providing the vapor release seal part 3 with a single through-hole.
- the weakened part can also be formed by providing a semi through-hole or a slit instead of the through-hole.
- the vapor release seal part 3 may be provided with multiple through-holes, semi through-holes, or slits.
- a pattern 12 having a void part 11 is solid-printed on the vapor release seal part 3 of the packaging material of one of the surface and the back constituting the packaging pouch 1.

- the packaging container 100 for a microwave oven is hermetically sealed by subjecting a flange part 102 of a container main body 101 made of polypropylene to heat-sealing with a lid 103.
- a vapor release seal part 113 is formed in one corner portion of the container by causing a peripheral edge heat seal part 112 to project in a U-shape fashion toward the inside of the container.
- an opening part 115 for opening the lid 103 after the container has been subjected to heat-cooking in a microwave oven is formed in a corner portion opposed to the vapor release seal part 113 by causing the peripheral edge seal part 112 to project in a V-shape fashion toward the outside of the container.
- the lid 103 of the packaging container 100 is constituted by polyethylene terephthalate (PET) 121 having a thickness of 12 ⁇ m, a printing layer 122, an adhesive layer 123, nylon 124 having a thickness of 15 ⁇ m, the adhesive layer 123, and an easy-peel layer 125 having a thickness of 50 ⁇ m and composed of an unoriented polypropylene-based resin (CPP) in the stated order from the outside.
- the lid 103 is subjected to heat-sealing with the flange part 102 of the container main body at the easy-peel layer 125.
- the inner pressure of the container increases owing to water vapor or the like generated from contents in the container.
- the cohesion failure of CPP constituting the easy-peel layer 125 of a heat seal part starts from the tip part of the vapor release seal part 113 projecting in a U-shape fashion, so the vapor release seal part 113 starts to peel.
- the inner pressure of the container additionally increases so that the peeling at the tip part of the vapor release seal part 113 reaches the outer edge of the heat seal part, the heat seal part opens as shown in Fig. 11(B).
- the white opacified layer 126 formed by the peeling of the heat seal part can be recognized even when the printing layer 122 of the lid 103 is omitted; provided that the printing layer 122 is preferably arranged to enable the white opacified layer 126 to be recognized with improved definition.
- the layer constitution of the lid 103 is not limited to that described above, and can be appropriately changed.
- another layer constitution of the lid 103 is composed of the nylon 121 having a thickness of 15 ⁇ m, the printing layer 122, the adhesive layer 123, an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer 124 having a thickness of 12 ⁇ m, the adhesive layer 123, and the easy-peel layer 125 having a thickness of 50 ⁇ m and composed of a polyolefin-based resin in the stated order from the outside.
- the number of layers constituting the lid 103 may be increased or decreased.
- the printing layer can be provided for not only the vapor release seal part 113 but also a part adjacent to the vapor release part 113 or the entire surface of the lid 103.
- An adhesive to be interposed between adjacent layers constituting the lid 103 is not particularly limited, and an ordinary adhesive such as a polyurethane-based adhesive or an acid-modified polyolefin-based adhesive can be used.
- the flange part 102 of the container main body can be subjected to printing or coloring as desired.
- the shape and dimensions of the container main body are arbitrary, and the container may be, for example, a cylindrical cup, a rectangular parallelopiped tray, or a box.
- the seal strength of each of the peripheral edge seal part and vapor release seal part of the packaging container for a microwave oven of the present invention can be 2.3 kg/15 mm width or more.
- a conventional packaging container automatically opening upon heating in a microwave oven involved a significant reduction in seal strength of an opening part upon heating, and could not achieve a seal strength of 2.3 kg/15 mm width or more needed for a packaging container for a retort food.
- a material, the seal strength of which reduces upon heating, is used in neither the peripheral edge seal part of the packaging container for a microwave oven of the present invention, nor the vapor release seal part of the container.
- the above seal strength can be maintained because no seal part is subjected to a processing treatment that results in a reduction in seal strength upon heating.
- the packaging container does not burst from its vapor release seal part or its peripheral edge seal part when the packaging container is subjected to a retort treatment after the packaging container has been filled with contents.
- the breakage of the packaging container at the time of the transport or storage of the packaging container can be prevented.
- the vapor release seal part of the packaging container maintains its seal strength for a certain time period, and the inner pressure of the packaging container is kept high by water vapor. Therefore, a heat steaming effect on the content in the packaging container is obtained.
- significant effects that is, an improvement in taste of the contents and a reduction in time required for the cooking of the contents, are exerted.
