  The plurality of third package bodies 1100 includes a fourth package body 1110 such that the lower surface 1100D of the third package body 1100 contacts the inner surface 1110I of the fourth package body 1110 and the upper surface 1100U of the third package body 1100 contacts each other. It is stored inside. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 11, the lower surface 1100 </ b> D of the third package 1100 is deformed into a planar shape along the inner surface 1110 </ b> I of the fourth package 1110. Further, the upper surface 1100U of the third package 1100 abuts on the upper surface 1100U of the other third package 1100 and deforms into a planar shape.

  In the direction U1 along the vertical direction of the third package in the state where the third package is stored in the fourth package, the dimension L4A of the internal space of the fourth package 1110 is the length L3A of the third package 1100. Or less. The dimension L4A of the internal space of the fourth package is shown in FIG. 10, and the length L3A of the third package 1100 is shown in FIG. In addition, length L3A of the 3rd package 1100 is the length in the natural state shown in FIG. The natural state means that the third package is taken out of the fourth package 1110, the third package is pulled at both ends in the second direction, the third package is 20 ° C. ± 2 ° C., and the relative humidity is 60% ± 5. It is in a state of being left for 12 hours in an atmosphere of% RH.

  A plurality of third package bodies 1100 are provided in the fourth package body 1110 such that the lower surface 1100D of the third package body 1100 contacts the inner surface of the fourth package body 1110 and the upper surfaces 1100U of the third package body 1100 contact each other. It is stored. Therefore, the lower surface 1100D of the third package 1100 tends to be flattened by the fourth package 1110.

  Furthermore, in the direction U1 along the vertical direction of the third package 1100, the dimension L4A of the internal space of the fourth package 1110 is not more than twice the length L3A in the direction U1 of the third package 1100. Therefore, the 3rd package stored in the 4th package 1110 is pressed from the natural state to the 2nd direction L1 which is the up-and-down direction. Therefore, the lower surface 1100 </ b> D of the third package 1100 is easily brazed into a flat state while being stored in the fourth package 1110.

  The area of the third packaging surface 1100T of the third packaging body 1100 is wider than the area of the lower surface 1100D of the third packaging body 1100 so that the visibility at the store can be maximized. Therefore, when the lower surface of the third packaging body 1100 is arranged on a shelf or the like so as to be the bottom, it is more stable than the case where the third packaging surface 1100T of the third packaging body 1100 is arranged so as to be the bottom. Hateful. However, by brazing the lower surface 1100D of the third package 1100 in a flat state, the third package 1100 can be easily erected at the time of display, and the display state can be maintained stably.

  In particular, when the ratio of the area of the third packaging surface 1100T of the third packaging body 1100 to the area of the lower surface 1100D of the third packaging body 1100 is 4 or more, it is difficult to stably maintain the third packaging body. However, according to the storage structure according to the modified example, the third package 1100 can be easily raised at the time of display, and the display state can be easily maintained stably.

  Moreover, the sealing part 1101 where the packaging materials which comprise the 3rd package 1100 were joined is formed in the both ends 1100E of the 3rd package 1100 in the direction along the up-down direction of the 3rd package 1100. . The sealing portion 1101 is a portion in which the packaging materials constituting the third package 1100 are joined together by heat welding or an adhesive, and is a relatively hard portion. Since the sealing portion 111 is disposed on the lower surface 1100D of the third package 1100, the lower surface of the third package 1100 may be difficult to maintain a flat state due to the resilience of the material of the sealing portion 1101. However, the lower surface 1100D of the third package 1100 can be brazed flat by the inner surface 1110I of the fourth package 1110. Therefore, the unevenness | corrugation by the sealing part 1101 can be eased, and lower surface 1100D of a 3rd package can be formed flat.

  In the direction U1 along the up-down direction of the third package 1100, the length L2A of the second package is longer than the length L1A of the first package 1. The length L2A in the direction U1 of the second package and the length L1A in the direction U1 of the first package are shown in FIG. At both end portions 110E of the second package 110 in the direction along the vertical direction of the third package, a sealing portion 111 is formed in which the packaging materials constituting the second package 110 are joined together.

  The sealing part 111 is a part in which the packaging materials constituting the second package 110 are joined by heat welding or an adhesive, and is a relatively hard part. When the sealing portion 111 is disposed in a portion corresponding to the lower surface 1100D of the third packaging body 1100, the third packaging body 1100 is pushed by the resilience of the material of the sealing portion 111 of the second packaging body 110, The lower surface of the third package 1100 may be difficult to maintain a flat state. However, the lower surface 1100D of the third package 1100 can be brazed flat by the inner surface 1110I of the fourth package 1110. Therefore, the unevenness | corrugation by the sealing part 111 can be eased and lower surface 1100D of a 3rd package can be formed flat.

  In the direction U1 along the vertical direction of the third package 1100, the dimension L4A of the internal space of the fourth package 1110 is not more than twice the length L2A of the second package. The 2nd package 110 accommodated in the 4th package 1110 is pressed by the 2nd direction L1 which is an up-down direction from a natural state. Therefore, not only the lower surface 110D of the third package 1100 but also the lower surface 110D of the second package 110 (see FIG. 6) can be easily brazed in a state of being housed in the fourth package 1110. Therefore, it becomes easy to stand the 3rd package 1100 at the time of display.

  In addition, in order to securely braze the lower surface 110D (see FIG. 6) of the second package 110 in a flat state, the dimension L4A of the inner space of the fourth package 1110 is the length L2A of the second package. Is preferably less than 2 times.

  In the direction U1 along the vertical direction of the third package, the length L10A of the absorbent article 10 is shorter than the length L1A of the first package 1. The length L1A in the direction U1 of the first package 1 is the length in the direction U1 of the entire first package, and is the length of the folded packaging material 20 in the present embodiment. Further, in the direction along the vertical direction of the third package, the dimension L4A of the internal space of the fourth package is at least twice the length L1A of the first package. Therefore, even if the 3rd package 1100 accommodated in the 4th package is pressed up and down, it can prevent the 1st package 1 being pressed up and down, and is a product. Absorbent article 10 itself can be prevented from bending.

  Several 3rd package 1100 is accommodated in the 4th package 1110 in the state which left the space | interval G in the horizontal direction C1 orthogonal to an up-down direction. Since the 3rd package 1100 is stored at intervals in the horizontal direction orthogonal to the up-and-down direction, a 3rd package can be taken out by inserting a finger etc. between the intervals in the horizontal direction.

  In the modified example, the third package shown in FIG. 6 is stored in the fourth package. For example, the third package shown in FIGS. 7 to 9 is stored in the fourth package. It may be configured. Moreover, although the above-mentioned modification is accommodated in the 4th package body so that several 3rd package surfaces may become the same plane, it is not restricted to this structure. For example, the lower surface 1100D of the third package 1100 is in contact with the inner surface of the fourth package 1110, and the upper surfaces 1100U of the third package 1100 are in contact with each other. The 3 packaging surface 1100T may be arrange | positioned so that the 3rd packaging body 1100 which adjoins may contact | abut.
