Description

  The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a labeled article packaging body in which a plurality of articles attached with POP labels are encapsulated with a heat-shrinkable film.

Conventionally, foods such as sweets, seasonings, and beverages, and pharmaceuticals such as eye drops and tablets are stored in containers and sold as articles. For example, solid foods such as sweets and seasonings are individually packaged and stored in a container such as a paper box. Among paper containers for storing liquid foods such as beverages, water-tight paper boxes (generally called brick packs) are used. At the time of distribution, the articles are transported as an aggregate of a plurality of the articles. In order to bind the articles constituting the aggregate, the aggregate is further packed with a heat-shrinkable film or a packaging box. It is conveyed in the form of a packaged package.
On the other hand, a label is attached to these goods for sale for advertising and displaying raw materials. Among these labels, a POP label that can be attached with a part protruding from an article is mainly known in order to attract the attention of consumers and enhance an advertising function (Patent Document 1). The POP label is also called an eye catch label. A POP label generally has a sticking portion whose back surface is an adhesive surface and a protruding portion whose back surface is a non-adhesive surface. In the POP label, by sticking the sticking part to an article, a protruding part integrally extended from the sticking part rises upward and protrudes above the article to alert the consumer.

When a plurality of labeled articles each having such a POP label attached to the article are grouped together as described above to form an aggregate, and the aggregate is encapsulated with a heat-shrinkable film, the protruding portion of the POP label is disordered. There is a problem that it will be bent.
Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, the assembly 40 is a collection of a plurality of labeled articles 10 arranged together. In each labeled article 10, the sticking part 310 of the POP label 30 is stuck on one side surface 20 b of the container 20, and the protruding part 320 of the POP label 30 is located above the container 20 on the extension of the sticking part 310. Protruding. In general, the plurality of labeled articles 10 are arranged side by side in the upper surface opening type case 60 to form a bundle 40. FIG. 15 does not show the top opening case. In the assembly 40, the labeled article 10 is pulled out upward, so that at least the upper surface of the assembly 40 is packed with a packing material. A heat-shrinkable film is generally used as a packaging material because it is in close contact with an adherend by heating and is simple. When the heat-shrinkable film 730 is heat-shrinked so as to cover the upper surface and the lower surface of the aggregate 40, the protrusion 320 is pressed by the heat-shrinkable film 730, and the protrusion 320 is bent randomly. For example, as shown in FIG. 16, the protrusion 320 is bent in an irregular manner such that the corner of the protrusion 320 is inverted and bent, or the protrusion 320 is bent toward the upper surface 20 a of the adjacent container 20. In particular, the corner portion of the protrusion 320 is easily bent randomly. When the protrusions 320 are bent in a disorderly manner as described above, the protrusions 320 are unexpectedly creased, and after the heat-shrinkable film 730 is removed, the protrusions 320 do not rise cleanly.
As a method for solving this, it is conceivable to insert a core Z (shown by a one-dot chain line in FIG. 14) into the upper surface 20a of the container 20 and encapsulate it with a heat-shrinkable film. Is discarded when the heat-shrinkable film is removed and the individual labeled article 10 is taken out, which is not preferable from the viewpoint of increasing packaging and work costs and saving resources.

[Article with label]
1 to 3, a labeled article 1 according to the present invention includes a container 2 and a POP label 3 attached to the container 2 so as to protrude upward from the upper surface 2 a of the container 2. In the labeled article 1, the sticking part 31 of the POP label 3 is stuck to the one side surface 2 b of the container 2, and the protruding part 32 of the POP label 3 is inclined to the upper surface 2 a side of the container 2. It is raised upward from the ridgeline of the container 2.

The container 2 has an upper surface 2a and a side surface 2b which are bent and continuous at a ridge line 2c. Preferably, the upper surface 2a and the one side surface 2b form a substantially right angle and are continuous at the ridge line 2c. In other words, the ridgeline 2c can be said to be a boundary portion between two adjacent surfaces. The substantially right angle includes not only a right angle (90 degrees) in an strict sense of an angle formed between the upper surface 2a and one side surface 2b, but also includes 90 degrees ± 10 degrees, and preferably includes 90 degrees ± 5 degrees.
The container 2 is not particularly limited, and is a box-type container such as a paper box or a resin sheet box (such as a brick pack) having watertightness, a paper box or a resin sheet box (such as an assembly box such as a so-called caramel box) that does not have watertightness. And cup-type containers such as instant noodle containers or bowl-shaped containers. The outer shape of the box-shaped container is not particularly limited as long as it has an upper surface and one side surface, and examples thereof include a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape including a cube, a substantially cylindrical shape including an elliptical cylinder shape, and a polygonal column shape such as a hexagonal column shape. It is done. The cup-shaped or bowl-shaped container is usually an inverted truncated cone shape or a polygonal truncated cone shape, and has an upper surface and a side surface. The material of the container 2 is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include paper, resin, foamed resin, metal, glass, earthenware, and two or more kinds of composite materials or laminates arbitrarily selected from these. The sales object stored in the container 2 is not particularly limited, and may be any beverage, food, daily necessities, confectionery, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, detergents, shampoos, toys, machine parts, and the like.

  In the illustrated example, a water-tight paper box (brick pack) is illustrated as the container 2, and the outer shape of the container 2 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. The substantially rectangular parallelepiped container 2 has an upper surface, a lower surface, and four side surfaces, and any one of the four side surfaces is a side surface 2b. The upper surface, the lower surface, and the four side surfaces are continuously bent at a substantially right angle at each ridgeline. On the upper surface 2a of the container 2, as shown in the figure, a specific display X (expiration date, production number, etc.) is printed. In addition, a desired design display (a pattern, a product name, etc.) is printed on the other part and the corner side surface of the upper surface 2a of the container 2 (the desired design display is not shown). The specific display X is a display that is uniquely printed when the labeled article 1 is manufactured, and the design display is a display that is printed when the container 2 is manufactured.

  In addition, the container 1 of FIG. 1 thru | or FIG. 3 (a) is a substantially right angle, and the intersection part of the edge of each surface (upper surface and lower surface and four side surfaces) which comprises a substantially right-angled shape is a right angle, and each surface. A clear line (ridge line 2c) appears at the intersecting portion of the edges, but the intersecting portion of the edges of each surface that are substantially orthogonal and continuous is a slight circle as shown in FIG. 3 (b). It may be arcuate. In such a case, a clear line may not be generated at the boundary between each surface such as the upper surface 2a and the side surface 2b. Even in such a case, the ridge line 2c is formed on each surface such as the upper surface 2a and the side surface 2b. The boundary portion (the top of the arc-shaped bulge) can be considered (see FIG. 3B). In an actual container (especially a paper box, etc.), as shown in FIG. 3 (b), the intersecting portion of the edges of each surface which is substantially orthogonal and continuous has an arc shape. In the other drawings, the ridgeline 2c is represented by a clear line with the intersecting portions of the edges of each surface being strictly perpendicular.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the POP label 3 is formed from a sheet material A having an adhesive surface 3 a and a non-adhesive surface 3 b on the back surface.
When the POP label 3 is classified according to the positional relationship with the container when the POP label 3 is attached to the container, the adhesive part 31 that can be attached to the container 2 and the upper part of the container 2 when the adhesive part 31 is attached. And a projecting portion 32 that rises.
However, although the sticking part 31 can be stuck to a container, when composing the labeled article 1 (when sticking the POP label 3 to the container 2), the entire sticking part 31 is stuck to the container 2. It is not limited to the case. For example, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the labeled article 1 may have the POP label 3 attached to the container 2 except for the upper part of the sticking part 31, as shown in FIG. 13 described later. Thus, it should be noted that the entire sticking portion 31 may be stuck on the container 2.

The sheet material A constituting the POP label 3 is not particularly limited as long as it is flexible and has a sheet-like shape. For example, paper, synthetic paper, synthetic resin sheet, metal vapor deposition sheet, foamed resin sheet, and these Is a laminated sheet in which two or more layers are laminated. The material of the synthetic resin sheet or the like is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include polyethylene, polypropylene, cyclic olefin, polyolefins such as polyethylene-containing copolymer, polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate and polylactic acid, polyamides, and polystyrenes. Can be mentioned. In particular, in order to maintain the rising state of the protrusion 32, the sheet material A preferably has a relatively high rigidity. As the sheet material A having relatively high rigidity, a polyethylene terephthalate sheet is preferable. Moreover, when giving the design display mentioned later on a back surface, it is preferable to use the transparent sheet material A in order to make it visible visually. In addition, what is generally called a film is also contained in the term sheet.
The thickness of the sheet material A is not particularly limited, and is usually about 30 μm to 150 μm.
A desired design display (not shown) is printed on the front or back surface of the sheet material A. In addition, the said design display may be given to the substantially whole sheet | seat material A, and may be given to a part (at least protrusion part 32) of the sheet | seat material A. FIG. In particular, when the sheet material A is transparent, the design display is preferably performed on the back surface of the sheet material A in order to prevent the design from being damaged.

On the back surface of the sheet material A, a surface where the adhesive is exposed (adhesive surface 3a) and a surface where the adhesive is not substantially exposed (non-adhesive surface 3b) are formed. In this embodiment, the whole back surface of the sticking part 31 is made into the adhesion surface 3a, and the whole back surface of the protrusion part 32 is made into the non-adhesion surface 3b. Therefore, the boundary portion between the adhesive surface 3 a and the non-adhesive surface 3 b is the boundary portion 33 between the sticking portion 31 and the protruding portion 32. In FIG. 4, in order to make the adhesive surface 3a easy to understand, innumerable dots are added to the adhesive surface 3a for convenience.
The surface where the pressure-sensitive adhesive is not substantially exposed is (1) no pressure-sensitive adhesive is present on the surface (for example, the pressure-sensitive adhesive is not applied or the pressure-sensitive adhesive is applied. (2) Even if the adhesive is present on a small portion of the surface, the protrusion 32 does not have adhesive strength to adhere to the container ( For example, it means that the pressure-sensitive adhesive is applied to a small part or the pressure-sensitive adhesive is incompletely concealed with a concealing agent).

The method for forming the adhesive surface 3a is not particularly limited. Since it is easy to form the adhesive surface 3a and the non-adhesive surface 3b, it is preferable to apply a concealing agent except for the portion that becomes the adhesive surface 3a after applying the adhesive to the entire back surface of the sheet material A. In the case of this forming method, the portion to which the concealing agent is applied becomes the non-adhesive surface 3b.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, an adhesive is applied to the entire back surface of the sheet material A, and an adhesive layer B is laminated on the back surface of the sheet material A. In this case, the adhesive may be applied to the entire back surface of the sheet material A in a solid form, or the adhesive may be applied to the entire back surface of the sheet material A in a mesh shape or innumerable dots.
The pressure-sensitive adhesive is preferably a pressure-sensitive adhesive, but a heat-sensitive adhesive can also be used. The pressure-sensitive adhesive is an adhesive having an adhesive force at normal temperature and maintaining the adhesive force for a long time, and is widely used in conventionally known tack labels. A heat-sensitive adhesive is an adhesive that exhibits an adhesive force when heated and maintains the adhesive force for a long period of time.
Subsequently, a concealing layer C is formed by applying a concealing agent for concealing the adhesive strength of the adhesive on the adhesive layer B except for the part that becomes the adhesive surface 3a.
The concealing agent is applied in a solid form on the entire portion excluding the portion that becomes the adhesive surface 3a. Examples of the masking agent include ultraviolet curable ink, a coating agent containing silicone, and the like. The thickness of the masking layer C is usually 3 μm to 20 μm. By forming the concealment layer C to be relatively thick, the adhesive force of the adhesive can be reliably concealed.
The portion provided with the concealing layer C becomes the non-adhesive surface 3b. Further, the portion where the concealing layer C is not provided becomes the adhesive surface 3a (the back surface of the adhesive layer B is exposed).

  However, instead of the method of providing the concealing layer C, as shown in FIG. 6, the part where the adhesive layer B is laminated only on the part of the back surface of the sheet material A that becomes the adhesive surface 3 a and becomes the non-adhesive surface 3 b. The adhesive surface 3a and the non-adhesive surface 3b may be formed by a method in which the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer B is not provided (that is, the back surface of the sheet material A is left as it is). In addition, in the labeled article shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 and the like, a POP label in which an adhesive layer is provided only on a portion that becomes the adhesive surface 3a is illustrated for convenience.

The sticking part 31 and the protrusion part 32 are arranged side by side in the vertical direction. The sticking portion 31 and the protruding portion 32 made of one sheet material A are both flat on the same plane unless an external force is applied, and are appropriately deformed by applying the external force.
The overall outer shape of the POP label 3 is not particularly limited and can be set as appropriate. In the present embodiment, the sticking portion 31 and the protruding portion 32 are both formed in a substantially rectangular shape, but the two corner portions 32a and 32a of the protruding portion 32 (two corner portions 32a on the protruding end 32b side, 32a) is formed in a relatively large curved shape. By forming the two corner portions 32a of the protruding portion 32 in a curved shape, the protruding portion 32 can be satisfactorily stretched along the upper surface 2a of the container 2 without being caught when the heat-shrinkable film is thermally contracted. Bends. The curvature radii of the two corner portions 32a and 32a are each independently preferably 5 mm to 15 mm, and more preferably 7 mm to 14 mm.

Moreover, although the vertical direction length (straight line length from the boundary part 33 to the protrusion end 32b of the protrusion part 32) of the protrusion part 32 is not specifically limited, as shown with the dashed-dotted line of FIG. It is preferable to set the length so that the protrusion 32 does not overlap the specific display X of the container 2 when the 32 is bent and along the upper surface 2 a of the container 2. By using the POP label 3 having such a length, the specific indication X of the container 2 (labeled article 1) can be read through the heat-shrinkable film after manufacturing the labeled article package.
In the illustrated example, the sticking portion 31 and the protruding portion 32 have the same length in the width direction, but one of the lengths in the width direction may be larger than that of the other. The width direction is a direction orthogonal to the vertical direction.

One side surface 2b of the container 2 so that the protruding portion 32 of the POP label 3 is inclined upward toward the upper surface 2a side of the container 2 from a ridge line 2c that is a continuous portion of the upper surface 2a of the container 2 and the one side surface 2b. By attaching the back surface (adhesive surface 3a) of the lower part of the sticking part 31 of the POP label 3 to the label, the labeled article 1 as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 is obtained.
In order to start up the protruding portion 32 of the POP label 3 in an inclined state on the upper surface side, as shown in FIG. 2 or FIG. 2c is shifted slightly upward (for example, the boundary 33 is shifted 0.5 mm to 3 mm, preferably 1 mm to 2 mm above the ridge line 2c), and the lower part of the sticking part 31 is stuck to one side surface 2b of the container 2. ing. By sticking the boundary portion 33 so as to be shifted slightly above the ridge line 2c, the upper end portion 3a ′ of the adhesive surface 3a adheres to the ridge line 2c or to the region near the ridge line on the upper surface including the ridge line 2c. The region in the vicinity of the boundary portion is drawn toward the upper surface 2a side of the container 2, and as a result, the protruding portion 32 stands up in a state of being inclined toward the upper surface 2a side of the container 2.
Therefore, the POP label 3 attached to the container 2 does not have the surface of the protruding portion 32 on a plane Y (hereinafter simply referred to as a parallel surface) parallel to the one side surface 2b of the container 2, and the surface of the protruding portion 32. Is slightly inclined with respect to the parallel plane Y. The inclination angle α of the protrusion 32 (the angle formed between the surface of the protrusion 32 and the parallel plane Y) is, for example, 3 degrees to 20 degrees, preferably 4 degrees to 15 degrees, and more preferably 5 degrees. ~ 12 degrees. If the inclination angle α of the protrusion 32 is too large, the protrusion 32 is difficult to return after removing the heat-shrinkable film, and the protrusion 32 may not rise sufficiently. If the inclination angle α of the protrusion 32 is too small, the protrusion 32 may be bent randomly when encapsulated with a heat-shrinkable film.

[A collection of labeled articles]
As shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, the assembly 4 of the present invention includes a plurality of articles 1 arranged in a lump. This article 1 is a labeled article 1 in which the POP label 3 is attached to a container 2. The number of labeled articles 1 constituting the assembly 4 is not particularly limited as long as it is 2 or more, but is preferably 3 or more, more preferably 6 or more. In the illustrated example, the assembly 4 includes twelve labeled articles 1.
The arrangement (arrangement) of the plurality of labeled articles 1 is not particularly limited, but it is not preferable to stack them in multiple stages, and it is preferable to have one stage. The side surface of the container 2 of the adjacent labeled article 1 is in contact with the one-stage assembly 4. For example, an assembly 4 in the illustrated example composed of twelve labeled articles 1 has the articles 1 arranged in 3 columns × 4 rows in a state where adjacent side surfaces are in contact with each other.
Moreover, although it is preferable that all the articles | goods 1 with a label are arranged in the same direction, the direction of some articles | goods may differ. In the illustrated example, all labeled articles 1 are arranged with one side 2b of the container 2 facing the same side.
Normally, in the assembly 4, a plurality of labeled articles 1 are placed side by side in an upper surface open type case 6. In FIG. 9, the case is not shown.
The upper surface open type case 6 is also called a half case or the like, and includes a bottom surface and four wall surfaces standing from the periphery of the bottom surface. The vertical length of each wall surface is the vertical length of the container 2. It is as follows. The upper opening case 6 is made of corrugated cardboard, synthetic resin or the like.

[Labeled article package and manufacturing method thereof]
The labeled article package of the present invention is manufactured through a process of obtaining an assembly 4 of labeled articles 1 and a process of encapsulating the assembly 4 with a heat-shrinkable film.
Since the assembly 4 of the labeled article 1 is as described in the column of the labeled article 1 and the assembly 4, it is omitted here.
After covering the heat shrinkable film from at least the upper side of the assembly 4, the heat shrinkable film is heated and thermally contracted so that the heat shrinkable film is in close contact with at least the upper surface of the assembly 4, and the labeled article A package is obtained. Preferably, a heat-shrinkable film is applied from at least the upper and lower sides of the assembly 4 to heat-shrink, whereby a labeled article packaging body in which the heat-shrinkable film is in close contact with at least the upper and lower surfaces of the assembly 4 is obtained.
The heat-shrinkable film is not particularly limited as long as it has a property of shrinking at a required temperature (heat-shrinkability), and a conventionally known film can be used. Preferably, a heat-shrinkable film that can be self-adhered by heat is preferable, and examples of such a film include a polyethylene film. Among heat-shrinkable films that can be self-adhered by heat, this type of heat-shrinkable film used for packaging is generally called an overlap film. Although the thickness of a heat-shrinkable film is not specifically limited, For example, they are 10 micrometers-80 micrometers, Preferably, they are 10 micrometers-40 micrometers. In addition, a transparent film is usually used as the heat-shrinkable film, but the film is not limited to this, and may be colored or printed.

  About the specific procedure by mechanical manufacture, as shown in FIG. 10, the elongate heat-shrinkable films 71 and 72 of a predetermined width are pulled out from the roll bodies 51 and 52 on a line. The roll bodies 51 and 52 are provided as a set, and long heat-shrinkable films 71 and 72 are fed up and down the line, respectively. The upper and lower heat-shrinkable films 71 and 72 are overlapped on the upstream side of the fusing machine 91 provided in the middle of the line. The paired upper and lower heat-shrinkable films 71 and 72 are cut by a fusing machine 91 in a TD direction (a direction orthogonal to the flow of the line), and are linearly heat-bonded and integrated at the fusing position. Is done. On the other hand, from the upstream side of the fusing machine 91, the assembly 4 is conveyed to the downstream side of the line so as to be sandwiched between the upper and lower heat-shrinkable films 71 and 72. As shown in FIG. 10, the assembly 4 has one side 2 b (the surface on which the POP label 3 is attached) of the container 2 facing the TD direction of the line (the TD direction is a direction orthogonal to the MD direction). It is conveyed in the state. But the conveyance direction of the aggregate | assembly 4 is not restricted as mentioned above, For example, you may convey the one side surface 2b of the container 2 toward MD direction (not shown).

As described above, the assembly 4 sandwiched between the upper and lower heat-shrinkable films 71 and 72 whose one side (downstream side) is heat-sealed and bonded together with the upper and lower heat-shrinkable films 71 and 72 downstream of the line. After being sent to the side, the other side (upstream side) of the upper and lower heat-shrinkable films 71 and 72 is similarly melted by the fusing machine 91 and thermally bonded linearly. In this way, a package body before shrinkage in which the assembly 4 is inserted into the cylinder of the heat-shrinkable film 73 that has been changed into a cylindrical shape by thermally bonding both sides of the upper and lower heat-shrinkable films is obtained.
In the package before shrinkage, the heat shrinkable film 73 is covered on the upper and lower surfaces of the aggregate 4 (the heat shrinkable film 73 is not in close contact with the aggregate 4). Subsequently, the package is heated to a required temperature (for example, 70 ° C. to 100 ° C.). The heat source is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include steam and warm air. In FIG. 10, the heat source is indicated by a wavy arrow.
The heat-shrinkable film 73 is heat-shrinked by heating and adheres to the upper surface and the lower surface of the assembly 4. Normally, the length of the heat shrinkable films 71 and 72 in the TD direction is sufficiently longer than the outer shape of the aggregate 4, so that the heat shrinkable film is also formed on one side 2b of the aggregate 4 and the opposite side. 73 adheres.

When the heat-shrinkable film 73 shrinks, the heat-shrinkable film 73 hits the protruding portion 32 of the POP label 3 of each article and presses the protruding portion 32 toward the upper surface 2a side of the container 2. In the labeled article 1 of the present invention, since the protruding portion 32 of the POP label 3 is inclined toward the upper surface 2a side of the container 2, when the heat-shrinkable film 73 is thermally contracted, the protruding portion 32 of the POP label 3 is It bends along the upper surface 2a of the container 2 (without being randomly folded).
When the protruding part of the POP label stands up on the extension of the sticking part (parallel to one side surface of the container) as in the conventional labeled article, it is directed downward from the protruding end of the protruding part by the heat shrinkable film. Since pressure is applied to the protruding portion, the protruding portion 32 bends randomly. In this regard, when the protruding portion 32 of the POP label 3 stands up toward the upper surface 2a side of the container 2 as in the present invention, the protruding end 32b (the protruding portion 32 of the protruding portion 32) is formed by the heat shrinkable film. When pressure is applied to the upper end), the protrusion 32 falls on the inclined side. In particular, since the two corner portions 32a of the protruding portion 32 are formed in a comparatively large curved shape, the irregular bending of the protruding portion 32 can be reliably prevented.
As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the obtained labeled article packaging 8 is such that the POP label 3 of each labeled article 1 is bent at the ridge line 2 c of the container 2, and the protrusion 32 is along the upper surface 2 a of the container 2. Touching. Thus, according to the manufacturing method of the present invention, the labeled article packaging in which the protruding portion 32 of the POP label 3 of each article 1 is bent along the upper surface 2 a of the container 2 while being encapsulated using the heat-shrinkable film 73. The body 8 can be obtained easily.
When the heat-shrinkable film 73 of the labeled article wrapping body 8 is removed, the protruding portion 32 of the POP label 3 is slightly inclined toward the upper surface 2a side before the heat-shrinkable film 73 is mounted by the restoring force of the sheet material A. Stand up in the state.

The labeled article packaging body and the manufacturing method thereof according to the present invention are not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be appropriately changed in design within the range intended by the present invention.
For example, in the above embodiment, in order to raise the protruding portion 32 of the POP label 3 while being inclined to the upper surface side, the upper end portion 3a ′ of the adhesive surface 3a is placed on the ridge line 2c of the container 2 or on the upper surface including the ridge line 2c. Although the sticking part 31 of the POP label 3 is stuck on the one side surface 2b of the container 2 so as to adhere to the region near the ridgeline, the present invention is not limited to this method. For example, as shown in FIG. 13, the sticking portion 31 is stuck to one side surface 2 b of the container 2 so that the adhesive surface 3 a does not exceed the ridge line 2 c of the container 2, and protrudes at a location corresponding to the ridge line 2 c of the container 2. The protrusion 32 of the OP label 3 may be raised in a state where the protrusion 32 of the OP label 3 is inclined toward the upper surface 2a side of the container 2 by bending the portion 32 slightly.
Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the heat-shrinkable films 71 and 72 are covered from the upper direction and the downward direction of the aggregate | assembly 4, for example, the packaging body which the heat-shrinkable film contact | adhered to the upper surface and the opposite side surface of the aggregate | assembly 4 is used. A heat-shrinkable film may be placed over the assembly 4 and opposite sides so as to obtain. In short, a heat-shrinkable film may be covered at least above the assembly 4 and the heat-shrinkable film may be adhered to the upper surface thereof.
