[Prior art]

 Conventionally, a multi-pack has been equivalent to a group wrapping that packs one or more units, and one of its initial forms is a publication of the JPO “Well-known / Common Techniques (Sequel / Packaging Industry)” (Showa 56 Published on February 24, p. 127), it is introduced as a “multipack”. Today, beverages, snacks, etc. are packaged for consumers (consumer packaging) using cans, bottles, plastic containers, paper containers, etc., and are packaged in units of six or ten. The pack contributes to the efficiency of store display. In particular, multipacks have an excellent effect of protecting the contents during transportation and stacking at stores, and their special display effects are attracting attention.

In the case of a multi-pack, the work efficiency is divided into units, a buffer function against external shocks during transportation, strength and protection against stacking at stores, ease of use standing on the side of consumers who buy in bulk, and ease of use. Disposability is required. By the way, in addition to the above-mentioned first form, many multi-packs have been provided and distributed in the form of a so-called body-wound type (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 58-24848, package) illustrated in FIG.

[0004] However, in the case of the body-wound type, a cup-shaped container (hereinafter simply referred to as a cup) is set in a state in which a single packaging material having a partition plate with a cup storage hole is partially assembled. In addition, a configuration is adopted in which the top edge is covered with the top plate and the leading edge is attached to the side plate, which necessitates temporary stocking of cups, resulting in poor productivity and high packaging material costs. It was a problem. The cup-shaped container (cup) referred to in the present invention is mainly composed of a cup body formed of paper or plastic, and a lid material formed of aluminum foil, plastic or paper, and having an adhesive layer. A configured container, which also includes a cup of composite material in various forms adapted to the confectionery, beverage or the like to be filled.
