Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an edible film bag used for wrapping powdered medicines and medicines with bad taste and odor for internal administration.

Conventionally, wafers made of starch and agar have been known for use when taking powdered drugs or drugs with a bad taste or odor or the like.

However, as many people have experienced, it is difficult to wrap things, especially powdered items, and if they are stored stacked for a long time, they absorb moisture from the air and stick to each other. It becomes difficult to separate the sheets and use them.

To make it easier to wrap things, some of these wafers are processed into a bag shape, but this process is time-consuming, and when such bag-shaped items are stacked and stored, they tend to stick together and become one piece at a time. It has the disadvantage that it is difficult to separate and use it.

Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide an edible product that is convenient for packaging oral medications, etc., is extremely simple to manufacture, suitable for mass production, and can be easily separated and used one by one even when stored in layers for a long period of time. Our goal is to provide film bags.

The above object of the present invention is to heat-seal a part of the stacked upper and lower heat-fusible edible films that should become the closed edge of the bag and where the upper and lower films are separated. This is achieved by a heat-sealable edible film bag with a liner, characterized in that one or more bags are heat-welded to the liner such that the bag is separable from the liner at the heat-sealed portion of the bag. .

Examples of the heat-fusible edible film include pullulan film and polysaccharide films similar thereto.
