Description

  The present invention relates to a package. In particular, the present invention relates to a package including an IC tag so that it can be detected that it has been opened.

  In recent years, IC chips have been miniaturized due to the integration of integrated circuits, and an IC tag that is a combination of an IC chip and an antenna can be attached to a product. IC tags have come to be used for the management of products, forgery prevention, tampering prevention, and the like. Also, from the viewpoint of traceability, factories have begun to be used to check the history of products, intermediate products, parts used in them, and raw materials.

  For example, in order to prevent mischief, there is one that is attached to a product so that the antenna of the IC tag is cut when the package is opened (Patent Document 1).

  In this case, if it is transported in the packed state and it is unpacked in the middle of transportation, the antenna will be disconnected due to unpacking, and communication will be disabled, or the communication distance will be less than half. You can confirm that it was unpacked after transportation.

  On the other hand, it may be necessary to record the location and time of an unopened product. For example, in an article whose performance is greatly affected by oxidation, it is necessary to manage the time during which the oxidation proceeds after being opened and exposed to the atmosphere to start oxidation. In addition, it is necessary to manage the opening time of articles that adversely affect the human body such as radiation.

  When managing the use of raw materials, especially when manufacturing products at factories, etc., the IC chip does not start communication with unopened raw material packaging, and the time since the opening of the raw material packaging was opened. In order to manage the location, the IC chip is required to start communication from the time it is opened.

  On the other hand, there is a packaging container that includes an RFID tag having at least two antennas capable of communicating in different frequency bands, and one of the antennas is disconnected so as not to communicate with the opening of the container, and can be confirmed to be unpacked. (Patent Document 2).

  And since goods management is possible with the antenna left without being cut | disconnected, there exists a possibility of satisfy | filling said request | requirement. However, in the case of this RFID tag, it is necessary to provide two antennas, and one can not communicate by opening it, but the other must not be able to communicate. It becomes large and its use is limited in terms of cost.

  Known documents are shown below.
