The detergent granules used in the present invention contain the above-mentioned surfactant, builder and other components, and have an average particle size of 500.
It is preferable that the thickness be 1500 μm. The reason for this is that in order for the water to penetrate inside the tablet sufficiently and to obtain sufficient strength at a lower molding pressure, it is important for the granules to engage each other without sticking together. This is because the upper limit of the particle size also exists in order to ensure the solubility of the granules themselves. Accordingly, more preferred detergent granules used in the present invention have an average particle size of 500

The pillow-packaged tablet detergent may be cut into one bag at a time, or may be housed in an individual box with a plurality of pillow packages connected. The pillow-packed tablet detergent is stacked flat or in multiple stages and placed in a box. At this time, the long side of the pillow pack is a length defined by the following equation (1),

Long side = nD + T + S + F (1) (where n is the number of tablets in the package, D is the tablet diameter, T is the thickness of the tablet, S is the length of the seal portion,
F ≧ 1 cm. )

A tablet detergent is packaged for each use, and this pillow pack is such that the inner surface of the container has the length of side A:
xD ~ 1.1xD (x is the number of tablets arranged along side A) B side length: 1.2yD ~ 1.6yD (y is the number of tablets arranged along side B) Depth: zT to 1.4 zT (z is the number of tablets to be stacked) The container is characterized in that the long side of the pillow pack is filled along side B. At this time, if F is less than 1 cm, the pillow cannot be sealed well. Also, A

As shown in FIG. 4, the individual body container 31 is filled.

Further, unlike a granular detergent or a liquid detergent similarly packaged, a pillow-packaged tablet-type detergent cannot be taken out of a bag unless the opening is not smaller than the diameter of the tablet at the time of opening. The conventional pillow-packed tablet detergent often fails to open the pillow package sufficiently, and additional measures such as enclosing a guide tape are required to completely open the pillow package.

Therefore, there is a need for a tablet-type detergent containing a pillow package that can completely open a pillow pack without the need for a guide tape or the like, and a method of opening the same. The present inventors have conducted intensive studies in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and as a result, have achieved a tablet type detergent containing a pillow package excellent in opening properties without special addition of a guide tape or the like. That is, the incision for facilitating opening in the adhesive portion at both ends of the pillow package is provided by providing a notch portion for opening at a position where the distance L from both ends of the short end of the adhesive portion is at least 8 mm. And a tablet-type detergent containing a pillow package is achieved. Furthermore, a notch that facilitates opening in the adhesive portion at both ends of the pillow package is provided. A notch for opening is provided at a position 8 mm or more from both ends of the short end of the adhesive portion, so that an excellent opening of the tablet type detergent is achieved. The method is realized.

The pillow package used in the present invention includes:
There is a cut in the long side direction of the bonding portion at both ends to facilitate opening. The shape of the cut may be a linear shape, a wedge shape, or a saw shape. The position of the linear or wedge-shaped cut should be at least 8 mm away from the long side end. Preferably 10 mm or more, more preferably 12 mm or more.
mm or more. Distance from long edge is 8
If it is less than mm, the probability that the tablet cannot be opened to a size large enough to take out the tablet at the time of opening increases.

In the case of wedge-shaped and saw-shaped cuts, the cut angle (a) relates to the ease of opening. In a wedge shape, it is 100 ° or less, preferably 60 ° or less, more preferably 45 ° or less, and in a saw shape, 20 to
100 °, preferably 30-90 °, more preferably 4 °
5 to 60 °. Exceeding this range makes it difficult to open. FIG. 5 shows an embodiment of a pillow wrapping form having a linear cutout 41, FIG. 6 shows an embodiment of a pillow wrapping form having a wedge-shaped cutout 43, and FIG.
1 shows an embodiment of a pillow packaging form having the following. In the case of the saw-like cut in FIG. 7, the cut may be provided over the entire long side end as shown, or may be formed partially. Further, as a mark of the opening portion, a position where the distance L is 8 mm or more may be easily opened, or a mark for opening may be provided. The pillow-packed tablet detergent is cut off one bag at a time,
Alternatively, a plurality of pillow packages may be connected to be housed in an individual box, or a plurality of pillow packages may be connected and the individual box may be omitted. The individual packaging box is preferably made of a coated ball or plastic. However, it is not limited to this material shape. With the above configuration, it is possible to provide a tablet detergent that can be easily and sufficiently opened when used.
