Description

  The present invention is a cushioning material for preventing a product from being damaged even when the product as a delivery product is dropped or bumped when the product is transported or delivered by a home delivery service or the like. In particular, the present invention relates to a cushioning material that can be secured without using an adhesive tape when a spherical or cylindrical article is wrapped.

Traditionally, mail order companies use courier services to deliver large quantities of products to customers who are orderers.
Items necessary for delivering these products by courier include products, cardboard boxes and envelopes, delivery statements, payment slips, delivery slips, and the like.
For example, if the product to be delivered is a large product such as furniture, it may not fit in a cardboard box or envelope, but if the product is a small item such as cosmetics or stationery, the cardboard or envelope I put them in and deliver them.

  And in mail order companies, when delivering products by courier, check the delivery items for products ordered by customers, check the delivery items, put those products in cardboard boxes, And the delivery slip is pasted at a predetermined position on the cardboard box and the shipping procedure is performed.

Also, in many cases, the size of the product and the size of the cardboard box are not the same, so there will be a gap inside the cardboard, and if delivery processing is performed in that state, it is being transported by courier In the worst case, it is possible that the product delivered to the customer is damaged.
Therefore, in order to prevent the product from being damaged in this way, the product is placed by inserting stuffing between the product put in the cardboard box and the wall of the cardboard box, or putting a material called cushioning material in the gap. I try not to move it unnecessarily.
Regarding these buffer materials, buffer materials having various structures are already known. (For example, see Patent Documents 1 to 5)

However, these cushioning materials become unnecessary after the product is delivered, and most of them are discarded.
For this reason, buffer materials made of synthetic resin, such as so-called “air caps”, that have been frequently used as cushioning materials in the past are unnecessarily once the product arrives despite the fact that they are expensive. Therefore, there is a problem that it is difficult to use because there are problems such as wasteful use of resources and environmental conservation.
In addition, the conventional cushioning material requires work to be put in a cardboard box or envelope, so it takes time to put the product and the cushioning material, and it takes time and trouble when preparing for delivery of the product. There is a problem that there is.

Conventionally, when a spherical or cylindrical article is wrapped and packaged, a predetermined portion thereof is fastened with an adhesive tape after being wrapped with wrapping paper.
However, the use of adhesive tape often results in the disposal of packaging paper after it has been delivered with the adhesive tape still attached, and there are problems and costs such as environmental conservation and wasteful use of resources. There is also a problem of this.
In addition, since the wrapping paper and the adhesive tape are not a single material, there is a problem that it takes time and effort to separate them when collected by recycling.

  Therefore, the present invention has a cushioning effect just by wrapping the product as it is, it can be easily stopped without using an adhesive tape, promotes wasteful use of resources and environmental protection, and a buffer material that is friendly to the natural environment. provide.

  In order to achieve the above object, the cushioning material of the present invention is repeatedly folded by a plurality of parallel folding portions, and a cushioning member in which a continuous uneven shape is formed and a sheet-like base material are overlapped, and A cushioning material with an information display function adhered at a portion, wherein the width of the sheet-like base material is wider on both sides than the width in the folding direction of the folding portion of the cushioning member, and the sheet It has the part which the said buffer member is not piled up on the shaped base material, It is characterized by the above-mentioned.

  Further, the cushioning material of the present invention has a continuous uneven shape formed on the cushioning member, a sheet-like base material is regularly bent, and a flat portion is provided in the vicinity of the vertex of the convex portion. It is shaped.

  Furthermore, the cushioning material of the present invention is characterized in that the sheet-like base material and the cushioning member are paper made from natural pulp or a synthetic resin film that is degradable in a natural environment. .

  The cushioning material of the present invention is provided such that the width dimension of the sheet-like base material is wider on both width sides than the width dimension in the folding direction of the folding portion of the cushioning member, and the cushioning member is superimposed on the sheet-like base material. After the product is put in and rolled up with a cushioning material, the predetermined parts on both ends of the sheet-like base material on which the cushioning member is not overlaid are placed on the candy packaging. Since it can be easily twisted and wrapped, it is not necessary to use an adhesive tape, which promotes wasteful use of resources and environmental protection, and is friendly to the natural environment.

  Further, the cushioning material of the present invention has a trapezoidal shape because the continuous uneven shape formed on the cushioning member is a continuous folded shape having a plurality of trapezoids in which the sheet-like base material is regularly folded. There is an effect that it is possible to firmly adhere to the sheet-like base material on the upper surface side.

  Furthermore, in the cushioning material of the present invention, the sheet-like base material and the cushioning member are paper made from natural pulp, or a synthetic resin film that is degradable in the natural environment. There is an effect that it can prevent giving.
