  • the reinforcing sheet 113 arranged around the opening 112 particularly an area surrounding the opening 112 and having a low rigidity can be reinforced.
  • the body 110 can be reinforced with a simple structure of simply adhering the reinforcing sheet 113 to the top of the upper wall 110a after the body 110 is formed.
  • the reinforcing sheet 113 of the present invention is now described with reference to FIG. 7 .
  • the reinforcing sheet 213 is provided. In the other points, it has the same construction as the above-described embodiment.
  • the reinforcing sheet 213 is arranged only between the opening 112 of the body 110 and the lateral seal part 111a. Specifically, the reinforcing sheet 213 extends along the short side direction of the body 110 between the opening 112 and the lateral seal part 111 a.
  • the reinforcing sheet 213 has curved parts and straight parts 213a, 213b.
  • the curved parts of the reinforcing sheet 213 have about the same shape as the curved parts of the lid 120 facing the lateral seal part 111 a in the long side direction of the body 110, and the straight parts 213a, 213b extend along the short side direction of the body 110.
  • the reinforcing sheet 213 is longer than the opening 112 in the short side direction of the body 110.
  • the reinforcing sheet 213 is laid between the body 110 and the lid 120. Provision of the straight parts 213a in the reinforcing sheet 213 makes it easier for users to pick up the tab portion 120c formed at the end of the lid 120.
  • the reinforcing sheet 313 is arranged only between the opening 112 of the body 110 and the lateral seal part 111a. Specifically, the reinforcing sheet 313 extends along the short side direction of the body 110 between the opening 112 and the lateral seal part 111a. The reinforcing sheet 313 is rectangular and longer than the opening 112 in the short side direction of the body 110.
  • the hang hole 114 is provided as the hanging part in the lateral seal part 111 a of the body 110, but the hanging part is not limited to this.
  • a hook may be provided on the body 110, or an adhesive tape may be provided on the lateral seal part 111a of the body 110.
  • the container 100 is described as being used in the hanging state, but it is not limited to this.
  • the container 100 may be held by fixing the lateral seal part 111a in a predetermined position such as on a desk or a shelf.
  • the lid 120 is formed by the base 120a, the opening-closing portion 120b and the tab portion 120c, but it may be formed only by the base 120a and the opening-closing portion 120b. Further, in order to bond the base 120a of the lid 120 to the top of the body 110, an adhesive having an adhesive strength to irremovably bond the base 120 to the top of the body 110 is used, but the adhesive may be of the type having an adhesive strength to peelably bond the base 120a to the top of the body 110.
  • the reinforcing sheet 113,213 or 313 is formed separately from the heat sealing film which forms the body 110, and provided on the top of the heat sealing film, but it may be provided on the storage space 110H side of the heat sealing film of the body 110. Further, it may comprise the reinforcing part which is integrally formed with the heat sealing film forming the body 110 by increasing the thickness of the heat sealing film of the body 110 between the opening 112 and the lateral seal part 111 a. The thickness of the heat sealing film is increased in part, so that this part of the heat sealing film is provided with higher rigidity and formed as the reinforcing part.
  • the straight part 113a or 213a is formed in the reinforcing sheet 113 or 213, but this purpose may be attained by other configurations.
  • the tab portion 120c of the lid 120 may be configured to protrude toward the lateral seal part 111a.
  • each of the wet tissues 130 may be folded in a so-called pocket fold in which the tissue is Z-folded and the edges of the Z-folded tissue are further folded to form a zigzag fold tissue and then the zigzag fold tissue is folded in the middle of the folds.
  • the package is not limited to a container for storing sheet-type articles, such as wet tissues, but it can also be formed as a container for storing various other articles.
