Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a laminate film having a linear cutting property and a laminate film produced using the laminate film.

The present invention relates to a laminate film having linear cutting characteristics and an easy-to-open package made using the same.

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, a bag made of a synthetic resin film or a packaging film made of a packaging material such as a laminate in which it is laminated with an aluminum foil or the like is vertically and horizontally bonded three-dimensionally or four-sidedly to produce an envelope. These envelopes are made of a liquid, a powder, After filling the packages, they are sealed. In addition, food such as yogurt and jam, toothbrush, and blister package for household goods are made by forming a synthetic resin sheet and an aluminum foil composite sheet in close contact with a mold by applying heat or an external force and forming a liquid, powder, , Granules or the like are packed, and a cover film formed by laminating a synthetic resin film or an aluminum foil or the like is sealed to be sealed.

In recent years, in order to open such a packaging body, a packaging portion of a packaging film, which is a packaging material, is cut by a customer using a knife or scissors, or a cut-off inducing groove or a guide cut portion provided at both ends of the package is opened by hand, Or by using a package that has been previously cut and cut in the form of a slit, a seam, or two oblique lines facing each other, and then printed on the inner or outer layer of the film, And packaging materials having increased ease of use.

For the retort packaging or pouch, for example, a film laminate of PET (or OPP) / (ONy) / Al foil / CPP (or LLDPE) is generally used from the front side. As the surface layer, a biaxially stretched polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film or a biaxially stretched polypropylene (OPP) film is used. As the barrier layer, an aluminum foil (AL foil) Propylene (CPP) or linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) is used. Biaxially stretched nylon (ONy) may be applied as an intermediate support layer in order to improve impact resistance and standability in accordance with the above lamination.

In a package containing such a conventional biaxially stretched nylon (ONy) as a middle support layer, a notch is made for straight cutting, and even if the package is torn in a straight line by hand to use the contents, There is a problem that it is torn in an undesired direction off the tearing position made in the laminate of the laminate and the back surface of the surface.

In the case of the retort pouch, the thickness of the unstretched polypropylene as the heat-bonding layer is set to 50 mu m or more and the total thickness is made to be 80 mu m or more in order to prevent the pouches from breaking or tearing. It becomes difficult to open.

However, in pouches and retort pouches, straightness is often required even when they are easily opened by hand. It has been known to use a stretched high-density polyethylene layer or a biaxially stretched special nylon film which improves straight-line tearing property (JP-A-8-80977, JP-A-2003-236972) And it has the disadvantage of increasing the price.

In addition, a plurality of lines of tear-inducing cutting lines may be previously inserted into the biaxially stretched polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film layer as the surface layer or the biaxially stretched nylon (ONy) layer as the intermediate supporting layer before the laminate is formed, (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-77872). However, there are various difficulties such as requiring precise adjustment of the film tension in order to align the position of the tear line during the lamination operation.

On the other hand, in the refill detergent pouch, it is known to perform half cutting with a laser to form the opening portion. However, in the case of the laser drilling operation, it is difficult to control only the surface to cut to a certain depth, so that some intermediate support layers are also cut off. In the retort pouch, when the aluminum pouch is immersed in boiling water, There is a high risk of damage or pinholes. Therefore, such a method is not often employed as the opening portion in the retort pouch.

Further, in order to control the depth of laser drilling, a laser-reflecting ink layer is interposed between the surface layer and the barrier layer to control the depth of the rare hole to half-cut the entire film layer (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2010-76835) , It is necessary to pay close attention to handling such as the laser generating apparatus is expensive and the laser generated in the laser reflecting ink is reflected again and returned to the beam generating section of the laser to damage the laser generating apparatus. In the case of consumer goods for which appearance is very important, there are printing restrictions, which can be disadvantageous for marketing.

Under such a background, the present inventors have found that a laminate film comprising a surface base layer, a notch-processed layer laminated on the lower surface of the surface base layer, and a sealant layer laminated on the lower surface of the notched layer, And the notch is formed so as to reach a part or the entirety of the notched layer after passing through the sealant layer, and the notch is formed discontinuously or continuously along the cut-out direction of the laminate film The present invention has been accomplished on the basis of the fact that a laminate film having linear cutting characteristics can be produced by producing a laminated film so as to form a notched line, and that a package having linear straightforward opening properties can be produced using the laminated film.
