Description

  The present invention relates to an easily openable blister container that can be easily opened by peeling the lid from the container body, and in particular, easily opened from the opening knob provided on one side along the opening cut line. Related to blister containers.

  Conventionally, as a packaging container for enclosing various contents such as foods such as ham and bacon or pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, etc., it is composed of a container body having a recess and a flange part for containing the contents and a lid, and the contents. A blister container is known in which the contents and the flange portion are covered with a lid and the periphery is thermally bonded. When sealing, in order to improve the storage stability of the contents, in addition to the aerated packaging, packaging techniques such as gas-filled packaging in which nitrogen gas or carbon dioxide gas is sealed, oxygen scavenger packaging, or vacuum packaging are generally used. It is used.

  In order to facilitate the opening of these blister containers, the planar shape is generally rectangular, and an unbonded portion between the lid and the container body is formed at one corner to provide an opening knob, from which the lid is opened. It is configured to peel off the body. Furthermore, the surface of the lid and / or the container body that is thermally bonded is subjected to an easy-release treatment. For example, when the lid is subjected to an easy-release treatment, the inner layer of the lid that is thermally bonded to the container body is used. It has a structure in which an easily peelable thermal adhesive resin layer is laminated, picking the opening knob with one finger, picking the container body with the other finger, pulling in the opposite direction, the lid body and the container body peel, It can be opened easily.

  However, there is a problem that the lid and the container main body are in close contact with each other and the opening knob is easily separated from the container main body and is difficult to pick. In particular, in the manufacture of these blister containers, there are many methods in which the container main body and the lid are thermally bonded and then punched into a rectangular shape and trimmed, and the lid is trimmed with the residual heat remaining after thermal bonding. And the trimming part of the container body may cause temporary attachment, making separation of the opening knob more difficult.

  In order to improve the above problem, for example, a tab portion is provided like a milk portion pack, and a thin wire is provided near the outer edge of the peripheral seal portion between the lid and the container body on the container body side of the tab portion and bent. The structure which is easy to cut and tab tabs is used. These are effective when the container body is small, or when the container body is bent and rigid enough to be cut off, but when the container body becomes large like a blister container such as sliced ham or bacon, the container is difficult to pick by hand or A material having a flexible container main body has no rigidity, and such a cutting method is inappropriate.

  In addition, a packaging container has been proposed in which a convex portion is provided on at least one of the container main body or the lid member of the non-adhered portion to improve openability (see, for example, Patent Document 1). However, it is not sufficient to prevent the lid and container body from sticking together at the trimming edge. Especially in vacuum packaging, the non-bonded part is also evacuated, and the pressure corresponding to the atmospheric pressure between the container body and the lid material. Is applied, and a certain amount of heat is applied to approach the bonded portion, and the uneven portion once formed is crushed, and the desired easy-opening improvement effect cannot be sufficiently obtained.
