Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a packaging member and a production system for the packaging member. In particular, the present invention relates to a measure for enabling a packaging member manufacturer and a packaging member user to easily grasp information related to recycling of a packaging member.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, various products such as electric appliances and foodstuffs are packed in packing containers (hereinafter referred to as packing members) such as cardboard boxes, coastal cardboard boxes, blisters (plastic containers), plastic bags, and styrene trays. And shipped (for example, JP-A-11-236071). On the surface of the packing member, product information such as the "product name" and "the number of products" of the products contained therein is drawn by pictograms or the like.

[0003] Further, after the product is sold, the user does not need a packing member.
It is either discarded as it is, or in some cases collected and recycled by a collection company.

Until now, packing member manufacturers (manufacturers who manufacture and sell packing members) and packing member users (manufacturers who purchase packing members from packing member manufacturers and pack and sell products) are particularly susceptible to packing members. There was no obligation to keep track of the mass, etc.

[0005]

However, with the enforcement of the 1997 Law on the Promotion of Separated Collection and Recycling of Containers and Packaging Related to Containers and Packaging, the so-called “Container and Packaging Recycling Law,” recycling of packaging materials has been promoted. In order to promote and protect the environment, packaging material manufacturers and packaging material users must use the total amount of packaging materials (the individual mass of packaging materials and their number).
The obligation that we have to be aware of it has arisen.

As one means for fulfilling this obligation, it is conceivable to individually measure the mass of all packaging members manufactured or used, and to ascertain the total usage of the packaging members based on the sum of these.

However, in this case, every time a packaging member is manufactured or used, it is necessary to count one by one and measure the mass, which makes the operation extremely complicated and increases the burden on the operator. For this reason, at least means for easily grasping the material and mass of the packing member is required. In addition, in order to know the total amount of use, it is necessary to know the number.

[0008] On the other hand, after the product packed in the packing member is sold, the packing member is at a retail store or a general consumer. For this reason, in order to promote the recycling of packing materials, it is not enough for packing material manufacturers and packing material users to grasp the material and mass of the packing materials, and it is not sufficient for retailers and general consumers to use them. It is essential to raise awareness of recycling. That is, as one of the roles of a packaging member manufacturer and a packaging member user in promoting the recycling of packaging members, it is required to work to encourage retail stores and general consumers to raise awareness of recycling.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has as its object to provide a packing member manufacturer and a packing member user who fulfill a duty to grasp the total usage of the packing member. It is an object of the present invention to make it possible to easily and quickly grasp the mass and the like of packaging materials and to urge retail stores and general consumers to be aware of recycling of packaging materials.

[0010]

Means for Solving the Problems-Summary of the Invention-In order to achieve the above object, the present invention enables a packaging member manufacturer or a packaging member user to grasp the mass and the like of a packaging member manufactured or used. Information is displayed on each packing member.

-Solution Means- Specifically, the first solution means presupposes a packing member for packing articles. The packing member is displayed with the packing member material information and the packing member mass information.

According to the specific items, the material and the mass of the packing member can be easily grasped, and the packing member manufacturer and the packing member user can use the information for grasping the total usage amount of the packing member. . Further, after the use of the packaging member, the general consumer or the like will visually check the information, which can raise awareness of recycling.

[0013] The second solution also presupposes a packing member for packing articles. Then, for a packing member using a packing material of a different material from the exterior, a material information and a mass information of the internal packaging material are displayed on the exterior.

According to this specific matter, for example, even if the exterior is corrugated cardboard and the interior is made of a packaging material such as a plastic bag or styrene foam, the indication of the exterior of the packaging member is confirmed. Thereby, the material and the mass used for the inner packing material can be easily grasped.

The third solution also presupposes a packing member for packing articles. Then, the packing member is displayed with packing member mass information and article production quantity information.

[0016] The packing member manufacturer and the packing member user are
By confirming the packing member mass information and the article production quantity information displayed on the packing member, the production of this packing member can be performed.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the first or the third aspect of the present invention, the packaging member is cut out from the substrate and processed, while the mass of the substrate required for producing one packaging member is extracted. The mass of the actually used part is also listed as the packaging member mass information.

These solutions are applied, for example, when producing corrugated cardboard boxes by cutting corrugated paper.
In particular, according to the fourth solution, it is possible to easily grasp the amount of reduction when the packaging member is recycled. On the other hand, according to the fifth solution, the packing member mass information is obtained not only as a portion used as a packing member but also as a waste material generated during production (a portion removed at the time of cutting). For this reason, it is possible to grasp the mass of the material that actually affected the natural environment.

The sixth and seventh solving means are for setting a display position of information at an appropriate position. That is,
According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, in any one of the first to fifth aspects, the display position of the information is not visible to the user in the unopened state of the packing member, and the user cannot view the information at the time of opening the packing member. It is set at a position where it can be viewed.

According to the specific items, the user can recognize the information only when the packing member is opened. For this reason,
The information can be watched by the user, and the user's awareness of recycling can be more reliably evoked.

According to a seventh aspect of the present invention, in any one of the first to fifth aspects, the display position of the information is
It is set at a position where the user can visually recognize the package member in an unopened state.

According to this specific matter, the user can recognize the information without opening the packing member. Also,
After producing the packaging member, the packaging member manufacturer and the packaging member user can confirm the information without opening the packaging member, and it becomes easy to grasp the total amount of the packaging member used.

The eighth and ninth solving means embody a method of displaying information. That is, in the eighth solution, information is displayed directly on the surface of the packing member.

In the ninth solution, information is displayed by attaching a label on which the information is drawn to the surface of the packing member.

With these specific items, a method for displaying various information can be embodied, and the present invention can be put to practical use.

According to the tenth and eleventh solving means, information other than the above information is displayed on the packing member. That is, the tenth solution means displays the packaging member disposal information related to the disposal of the packaging member in any one of the first to ninth solutions.

As the packaging member disposal information, a disposal method recommended when disposing of used packaging members is proposed. For example, a message is displayed to request that the packaging member be returned to the store or to prompt the waste collection company to collect the package. This can also encourage the user to be aware of recycling.

According to an eleventh solution, in any one of the first to the tenth solutions, information on the influence on the natural environment in manufacturing the packaging member or disposing of the packaging member is displayed.

The information on the influence on the natural environment includes information on the degree of environmental destruction caused by manufacturing the packaging member, and how much recycling (recycling of the environmental protection) Contribution)
Is performed. For example, in the case of a paper packing member, the amount of wood required to produce the packing member is displayed, or resources obtained when the packing member is recycled (for example, converted into the number of newspapers). Is displayed. As a result, the user can realize the importance of recycling, and can raise awareness of environmental protection.

The twelfth to fourteenth solving means relate to a production system for producing the above-mentioned packing member.
