Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a package for displaying food products in containers and packing them in bags.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a package for packaging dried food such as dried shiitake mushrooms in a display state, as shown in FIG. 5, the food is contained in a container 21, and the container 21 is put in a bag 20 to form a bag 2.
There is one in which the inside of 0 is sealed.

The container 21 for displaying this food has conventionally been
A flat plastic tray formed by injection molding vinyl chloride or polyethylene is used. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the bottom plate 22 of the container 21 is provided with a concavo-convex portion 23 so as to prevent the displayed food from being displaced and to drop fine powder, dust or the like from the food onto the bottom surface of the tray. I try not to appear on the surface of.

Further, it is necessary to add a handling method such as how to return the food and a description of cooking examples to the package for displaying the dried food, and normally, the container 21 containing the food is provided.
At the same time, the card 24 in which the handling method, cooking examples, etc. are described is inserted into the bag 20.

[0005]

By the way, in the above-mentioned conventional package, the plastic tray forming the container 21 has a characteristic that it is easily cracked or torn when a load is applied, so that it should be handled with care. However, there is a problem in that it is difficult to stack, convey, and store a large number of packages.

[0006] Further, the plastic such as vinyl chloride forming the container 21 tends to be restricted in use because it produces a toxic gas when incinerated and easily causes environmental damage. Instead, there is a need for a surface material for containers that does not hinder the environment at the time of disposal.

In addition, since the work of inserting the container 21 and the card 24 on which food is displayed at the same time into the bag 20 is a manual work of the operator, the bag packing work requires a great deal of work and the work efficiency is high. There was a problem that was bad.

Therefore, the present invention provides a food package which solves the above-mentioned problems and which can efficiently carry out the bag filling operation of the food and the container without the risk of cracking or tearing of the container. It is an object.

[0009]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a food package in which a container for displaying food is placed in a bag, and the inside of the bag is sealed. It was a flat paper tray with an opening.

A second means of the present invention has a structure in which a method of handling food to be displayed or a cooking example is printed on the surface of the paper tray.

Further, the third means is such that a cut is made in the bottom plate of the paper tray, and the cut portion can be folded back to the front surface side of the bottom plate.

[0012]

With the above structure, the paper tray has a flexible structure, and it does not crack even if it is deformed even when a load is applied from the outside. Can be transported and stored.
In addition, the paper tray does not generate a gas or the like due to toxicity even if it is incinerated after being discarded, so that it does not hinder the environment.

In the second means, the handling method and cooking examples are printed on the paper tray, so that the paper tray also serves as a card indicating the handling method and the like, and the work of inserting the card into the bag is performed. It becomes unnecessary.

On the other hand, in the third means, when the cut portion of the bottom plate is folded back, the folded portion supports the food in a state of being lifted from the bottom plate. Can be dropped onto the bottom plate.

[0015]

1 to 4 show a food package of an embodiment. In the figure, reference numeral 1 is a paper tray that serves as a container for displaying dried food, and the paper tray 1 is formed using rigid cardboard. This paper tray 1 is composed of a rectangular bottom plate 2 and two pairs of side plates 3 and 4 standing upright from the peripheral edge of the bottom plate 2, and is formed in a flat shape with an open top surface as a whole.

Double folding lines 5 and 6 are provided at the connecting portion of the bottom plate 2 of the paper tray 1 and the side plates 3 and 4, and due to the double structure of these folding lines, the accuracy of the folded portion is improved. The strength of the folded part is improved.

Further, the side edges 3 and 4 are adhered to each other in a state where tension is applied in the lengthwise direction, and the central portions of the side edges 3 and 4 face outward in the assembled state of the tray. It is fixed in a bent state. By fixing the side edges 3 and 4 with tension applied in this way, even if a load is applied to one side edge and the other side edge is deformed, the other side edges cooperate to prevent the deformation. Paper tray 1 to work
Can be prevented from being greatly deformed.

The bottom plate 2 of the paper tray 1 is formed with a plurality of U-shaped cuts 7 in a plan view.
The portion 8 separated by the notch 7 is folded back to the front surface side of the bottom plate 2 when pressed from below, so that the shape can be maintained in a state of standing up obliquely upward from the bottom plate 2. .

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4, on the back surface of the bottom plate 2 of the paper tray 1, a handling method 9 for explaining how to return the dried food A and a cooking example 10 are printed with text and paper, respectively. In addition, in the margins other than the above Handling Method 9 and Cooking Example 10, the food ingredient table 11 and the price barcode 1
2. A table 13 containing the product name and company name is printed.

The food package of this embodiment has the structure as described above, and in order to store the food, as shown in FIG. 3, the cut 7 on the bottom plate 2 of the paper tray 1 is folded back to the front side. The food A is displayed between the folding parts 8. In that state, the food A and the paper tray 1 are inserted into the bag 20 and the opening of the bag 20 is closely attached to seal the inside as shown in FIG.

The package containing the food in this way is
Since the paper tray 1 is flexible and does not crack or break like a plastic tray even if a load is applied, it requires almost no handling, and it can be transported or displayed with a large number of packages stacked. be able to.

Further, since the folded portion 8 standing up from the bottom plate 2 of the paper tray 1 stops the movement of the food A in a floating state, the displayed food can be prevented from being displaced and the food A The fine powder, dust, and the like that have come out are dropped into the bottom plate 2, and the display surface of the food A is not deteriorated.

In addition, since the paper tray 1 does not generate a toxic gas like vinyl chloride even when it is incinerated, it can be discarded as it is after the package is used and incinerated.

Although the handling method 9 and the cooking example 10 are printed on the back surface of the bottom plate 2 of the paper tray 1 in the above embodiment,
You may make it print on the surface side of the bottom plate 2 or the surface of the side edges 3 and 4.

Further, the number of the folded portions 8 of the bottom plate 2 for preventing the displacement of the food can be set arbitrarily according to the shape and quantity of the food.

[0026]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the container for displaying food is a paper tray, it is not necessary to pay attention to cracks and tears when handling the container, the bagging work is facilitated, and the container is incinerated. Sometimes no toxic gas is generated,
The package can be discarded as it is after use and incinerated.

Further, by making a cut in the bottom plate of the paper tray and folding the cut portion, the misalignment of the food can be prevented and the food can be separated from fine powder, dust, etc., and the displayed state of the food can be maintained in good condition. can do.

Further, by printing the handling method and the cooking method on the paper tray, the paper tray also serves as a food instruction, and the insertion of the explanation card can be eliminated to facilitate the bag filling work. .
