  However, in the technique described in Patent Document 1, in order to inflate the bag after containing the food with a stick in the packaging bag, it is necessary to separately fill the bag with gas, and to feed the gas. Since it is necessary to seal the bag while inflating the bag, there is a problem that it takes time to manufacture the bag.

  In addition, since the stick part of food with sticks is also enclosed in the packaging bag, when transporting food with sticks as a product or displaying it at the store, the packaging bag must be in a laid state. There is also a problem that the products cannot be arranged with a high degree of freedom, for example, they cannot be arranged in an upright state unless they are suspended by, for example, hooking the bag member on a packaging bag. . For this reason, in the current situation, this type of food with a stick is often distributed in the market in a state where the food part at the tip of the stick is simply covered with wrapping paper.

  The present invention has been made by paying attention to the above-mentioned problems, and it is difficult to cause deformation or damage of the food part due to external impact, and it does not take time for production, and also transports food with a stick. It is an object of the present invention to provide a food product with a stick and a method for packaging food with a stick, which can be arranged with a high degree of freedom when displayed at a store.

  The object of the present invention is to form a food with a stick in which food is provided at one end of the stick and a packaging film having a heat-adhesive resin layer on at least one surface and seal the food with the stick inside. A bag body having a storage space that can be stored, and a part of the bag body is wound around an outer peripheral surface of the other end side of the bar protruding outside from the food of the food with the bar, The wrapping portion that covers a part of the wrapping portion and the other portion expands by the movement of the air in the storage space due to the wrapping, and the food provided at one end of the rod of the rod-attached food is air layered. This is achieved by a packaged food product with a stick that constitutes a bulging portion for packaging.

  In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the bag body is formed on the back side with a vertical seal portion formed by heat-sealing the both side edges of the packaging film folded in a tubular shape in the shape of a palm. A pillow packaging bag in which the storage space is provided by a horizontal seal portion formed by heat-sealing the upper edge portion and the lower edge portion of the packaging film, wherein the food with a stick has a stick substantially in the vertical seal part. It is characterized by being housed in the bag so as to be parallel.

  The object of the present invention is a packaging method for packaging food with a stick in which food is provided at one end of a stick, using a packaging film having a thermal adhesive resin layer on at least one surface, Producing a bag having a storage space capable of storing food with a stick and an opening through which the food with stick can be put into the storage space; and storing the food with a stick in the storage space of the bag. Then, the step of heat-sealing the opening to seal the bag body, and thermocompression bonding a part of the bag body to the outer peripheral surface of the other end portion side of the stick protruding from the food of the food with the stick The other part of the bag 3 is expanded by the movement of the air in the storage space by the winding, and the food provided at one end of the stick with the stick is passed through the air layer. Food with a stick It is also achieved by the method of packaging.

  According to the present invention, it takes less time to manufacture, and it is difficult to cause deformation or damage of the food part due to external impact, and when transporting food with a stick or displaying it at a storefront, etc. It is possible to provide a food package with a stick that can be arranged with a high degree of freedom.

  1 to 5 show an external configuration of a sticky food packaging 1 (hereinafter simply referred to as “packaging 1”), which is an embodiment of the present invention. The package 1 in the illustrated example can store the food 2 with a stick 2 (shown in FIG. 6) in which the food 20 is provided at the tip of an elongated stick 21 and the food 2 with a stick called a “pouch” in a sealed state. It is comprised by the bag 3 (shown in FIG. 7).

  As shown in FIG. 6, the food with a stick 2 is such that a solid food 20 such as a candy with a stick is attached to the tip of an elongated stick 21. It will be retained. As the food 20, in addition to candy, various solid foods can be applied as long as they can be attached to the stick 21 in addition to confectionery such as chocolate, caramel, cotton candy, cake, ice, and snack.

  The food 20 may be non-transparent or translucent, for example, if it is a candy, etc., but has a color such as pink, yellow, green, blue, and purple (single color or a combination of these single colors). Is preferable in terms of design. In addition to popular characters that are widely used in character goods, animals such as horses, dogs, cats, lions, dolls, buildings, vehicles, etc. It is preferable in design. In this embodiment, the shape is similar to that of a “snowman”.

  The rod 21 is inserted until one end 21 </ b> A reaches the inside of the food 20, while the other end 21 </ b> B protrudes outward from the food 20 and can be gripped by, for example, a hand.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the bag body 3 includes a rectangular packaging film 30 having flexibility. The packaging film 30 is bent so that both ends thereof overlap each other in a palm-like shape to form a cylindrical body, and the upper edge portion, the lower edge portion, and the back surface overlapping portion of the cylindrical body are thermally bonded (heat sealed) to form a heat sealing portion. By forming 32A-32C, the said cylindrical body is sealed and the storage space 31 of the food 2 with a stick | rod is formed in the center part.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the packaging film 30 includes a base layer 30A serving as a front substrate of the packaging film 30, a heat-adhesive resin layer (sealant layer) 30B positioned on the inner surface of the packaging film 30 as a heat sealing material, The intermediate barrier layer 30C is sandwiched between the base layer 30A and the sealant layer 30B. Each of these layers 30 </ b> A to 30 </ b> C is laminated by, for example, melt extrusion lamination or dry lamination to form the packaging film 30.

  As the base layer 30A, a transparent or translucent uniaxial or biaxially stretched synthetic resin film is suitably used so that the appearance of the food 2 with a stick that is printable and can be seen from the outside can be seen from the outside. For example, a polyethylene terephthalate film (PET) or a polypropylene film (OPP) having high strength and good heat resistance can be preferably used. A printing layer (not shown) is provided on the inner surface of the base layer 30 </ b> A as needed in order to give design properties to the surface of the packaging film 30. This print layer is printed on the entire surface or a necessary portion of the base layer 30A by selecting an ink type suitable for the synthetic resin film of the base layer 30A to be printed.

  The sealant layer 30B may be a synthetic resin film having a thermal adhesion (heat sealing) property that can be melted by heating and bonded to each other. For example, a linear low density polyethylene film (LLDPE), an unstretched polypropylene film ( CPP) and the like can be preferably used. If a polyethylene film or an unstretched polypropylene film is used, excellent sealing properties can be exhibited at a relatively low temperature.

  The intermediate barrier layer 30C is a layer provided to give the bag body 3 gas barrier properties that block oxygen, water vapor, etc., light shielding properties, aroma retention properties, and further strength. For example, the stretched polyethylene terephthalate film A film provided with a thin film of aluminum, silicon oxide, alumina or the like by vapor deposition or the like can be preferably used.

  Thus, the packaging film 30 constituting the bag body 3 is such that no pinholes or broken bags are generated when the bag body 3 is stored and distributed in a state where the food with sticks 2 is housed inside. In addition to its strength, it has a barrier property to dissipate the flavor of the food 20 of the contents, and to prevent chemical changes such as oxidation and physical changes such as dehydration and drying.

  An easily tearable material layer such as a hand-cut film may be provided between the base layer 30A and the sealant layer 30B, preferably between the base layer 30A and the intermediate barrier layer 30C. As a film having a hand cutting property, for example, a high-density polypropylene film or a high-density polyethylene film having a linear tearing property in the transverse direction can be preferably exemplified.

  The bag 3 has a longitudinal length L1 (except for the seal portions 32A and 32B) and a lateral length L2 (shown in FIG. 7) in the longitudinal direction of the food 2 with a stick in plan view. It is formed in a vertically long shape longer than the length l1 and the lateral length l2 (shown in FIG. 6), and has a size that can accommodate the food 2 with a stick. The food 2 with a stick | rod is accommodated in the bag 3 so that the stick | rod 21 may become substantially parallel to the vertical seal | sticker part 32C.

  A plurality of V-shaped cuts 34 serving as starting points for opening the bag body 3 are continuously provided in the lateral seal portions 32A and 32B at the upper edge portion and the lower edge portion of the bag body 3. By tearing the bag body 3 in the longitudinal direction using the notch 34 as a trigger for opening, the storage space 31 of the bag body 3 is exposed, so that the food 2 with a stick can be taken out.

  The notches 34 are not necessarily provided at a plurality of locations on the horizontal seal portions 32A and 32B, and may be provided at one location. Moreover, you may make it provide the notch 34 for opening in the vertical seal | sticker part 32C. Further, the shape of the opening cut 34 can be various shapes such as an I shape, a U shape, and a semicircular shape.

  In the package 1 which concerns on this invention, as shown to FIGS. 1-5 and FIG. 11, the part (FIG. 1) which opposes the other end part 21B side of a part of the bag 3, ie, the stick | rod 21, of the food 2 with a stick | rod. In the illustrated example, the predetermined portion on the lower edge side of the bag body 3 is twisted around the axis of the rod 21 while being applied with heat and pressure, so that the outer peripheral surface of the rod 21 on the other end 21B side is spirally formed. It is wrapped around Thereby, the winding part 4 formed by winding the packaging film 30 which comprises the bag body 3 several times around is provided in the outer periphery of a part of stick | rod 21 by the side of the other end part 21B. The wound portion 4 covers a part of the stick 21 with heat adhesion (heat seal) between the packaging films 30 with almost no gap, and the food with stick 2 stored inside the bag 3. It has an elongated shape corresponding to the outer shape of the bar 21.

  Further, as described above, by winding a part of the bag body 3 around the rod 21, the air in the storage space 31 is transferred to the other part of the bag body 3, that is, the one end 21A side of the rod 21 (on the bag body 3). Move to the edge side and gather. For this reason, the other part on the upper edge side of the bag 3 is expanded and deformed outward as a result of almost all the air in the storage space 31 being concentrated. As a result, a bulging portion 5 that bulges like a balloon due to the expansion of the bag 3 is provided on the outer periphery of the rod 21 on the one end 21 </ b> A side.

  Since the bulging portion 5 is sealed in a state where it is swollen due to the dense air, rather than simply storing the food with a stick 2 in the bag 3 (shown in FIG. 10), the bulging portion 5 is placed horizontally on a plane. The thickness D at the time of the process is sufficiently larger than the height H of the stored food 20. Thereby, an air layer 6 is provided around the entire periphery of the food 20 in the bulging portion 5, and the air layer 6 fulfills the function of an air cushion. Even if an external impact is applied to 5, the impact is absorbed by the air layer 6 and the impact is prevented from being directly transmitted to the stored food 20. As a result, it is possible to prevent the food 20 from being damaged such as deformation or breakage due to an external impact even without a cushioning material.

  Further, if the food 20 is, for example, candy, the hygroscopic property is high. Therefore, as in the conventional example, if the food 20 at the tip of the stick is simply covered with wrapping paper and stored, The food 20 may come into contact with the outside air and absorb moisture in the outside air. As a result, the surface of the food 20 becomes sticky, and as a result, the appearance deteriorates and the commercial value is lost, or the quality is deteriorated due to moisture absorption. However, in the present embodiment, since the food 20 is hermetically stored in the bulging portion 5, there is no possibility of coming into contact with the outside air. Therefore, moisture absorption by the food 20 can be prevented, and the food 20 can be stored in a stable state. It is like that. In addition, from the viewpoint of preventing moisture absorption of the food 20, the food 20 may be stored by filling the bulging portion 5 with, for example, an inert gas such as nitrogen or carbon dioxide.

  In addition, if the bulging part 5 is excessively expanded, the bulging part 5 is easily broken due to an impact from the outside and may be punctured, and may be opened carelessly. Therefore, the amount of expansion of the bulging portion 5 is sufficient such that the food 20 is less likely to be damaged when the bulging portion 5 is subjected to an impact due to dropping of the package 1 or the like.

  The packaging body 1 of the present invention has the configuration as described above, and in order to wrap the food 2 with a stick, first, the packaging film 30 shown in FIG. 8 is bent into a cylindrical shape, and the sealant layer at the left edge thereof. After the 30B and the sealant layer 30B on the right edge are overlapped with each other so as to face each other, the overlapped portion is thermally bonded (heat sealed) so that the vertical seal portion 32C is formed on the back surface. (Not shown). Then, as shown in FIG. 9, after the upper edge portion of this cylindrical body is thermally bonded (heat-sealed) to form the lateral seal portion 32A, it is attached to the lower edge portion of the cylindrical body on the side that is not heat-sealed. The food 2 with a stick is inserted into the storage space 31 from a certain opening 33. And as shown in FIG. 10, this lower edge part is heat-sealed, and the horizontal seal | sticker part 32B is formed, and the bag body 3 which accommodated the foodstuff 2 with a stick | rod in the storage space 31 in the sealed state is obtained.

  Then, a part of the lower edge portion (lateral seal 32B) side of the bag body 3 is twisted around the axis of the stick 21 while being heat-pressed, and protrudes to the outside from the food 20 of the food 2 with the stick stored inside. A portion of the rod 21 is covered by being wound around the outer peripheral surface of the rod 21 on the other end 21B side. At this time, the other portion on the upper edge side of the bag body 3 that has not been twisted is filled with air due to the movement of the air in the storage space 31 caused by the wrapping of the bag body 3, and the balloon (See FIG. 11). As a result, the food 20 provided at one end of the stick of the stick-equipped food 2 is packaged via the air layer 6.

  As described above, in the packaging body 1 according to the present invention, when the food 2 with a stick is stored in the bag body 3, the bag body 3 is inflated by separately supplying air into the bag body 3 by an air supply pipe or the like. Even if the work is not performed, after the food 2 with a stick is simply stored in the bag 3, a part of the bag 3 is wound around the stick 21 of the food 2 with a stick so that the stick 21 is not wound around the stick 21. The other part of the bag body 3 expands due to the air congestion. And since the food 20 of the food 2 with a stick which is a content is protected from the external impact by the buffering action of the air layer 6 generated by this expansion, it is possible to prevent the food 20 from being damaged by a simple operation. Can be manufactured.

  Moreover, since the package 1 which concerns on this invention is equipped with the bulging part 5 which has the form swelled like a balloon in the front-end | tip of the winding part 4 which has the shape of an elongate stick, it has an external appearance. With a tip, the tip is swollen like a balloon. Therefore, the product value of the food 2 with a stick can be increased, and the consumer's willingness to purchase can be promoted.

  Furthermore, the packaging body 1 according to the present invention can perform the function of the winding part 4 as the handle (grip) of the stick 21 of the sticked food 2 as it is. While the consumer can easily hold it, the rod-shaped winding part 4 is inserted and fixed in a packaging container such as a cardboard box when the package 1 is transported or displayed at a store. If an insertion hole is provided, it is easy to arrange a plurality of pieces in a plane in a state in which the insertion holes are upright, so that products can be arranged with a high degree of freedom.

  As mentioned above, although one Example of this invention was explained in full detail, the specific aspect of this invention is not limited to the said Example. For example, in the present embodiment, a pillow seal type packaging bag (pillow packaging bag) is used as the bag body 3, but various types of packaging bags such as a two-side seal type, a three-side seal type, and a four-side seal type are used. Can be used.
