<< About fastening tape 40 >>
4A is a plan view of the fastening tape 40, and FIG. 4B is a cross-sectional view of the fastening tape 40. FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the position of the fastening tape 40 in the individual package 20. 6A and 6B are diagrams illustrating a method for disposing of the used napkin 1. 7A and 7B are views for explaining a state in which the knob 42 of the fastening tape 40 is broken. In addition, in order to avoid the complexity of drawing, the design pattern 30 of the packaging material 10 is abbreviate | omitted in one part figure.

The fastening tape 40 that fastens the opening end 10a of the packaging material 10 is a rectangular member that has a vertical direction and a horizontal direction orthogonal to each other and extends in the vertical direction. The lateral direction of the fastening tape 40 is along the lateral direction of the individual packaging body 20 (along the first direction along the opening end 10a of the packaging material 10), and the longitudinal direction of the fastening tape 40 is the longitudinal direction of the individual packaging body 20 ( The fastening tape 40 is disposed in the individual package 20 so as to be along the second direction orthogonal to the first direction.

As shown in FIG. 1B, in the individual wrapping body 20, a portion 102 of the other packaging material in the longitudinal direction is folded on a portion 101 of the packaging material on the other side in the longitudinal direction. Therefore, one side in the vertical direction is the part 101 side of the packaging material from which the fastening tape 40 is peeled off when the individual package 20 is opened. The other side in the vertical direction is the part 102 side of the packaging material where the fastening tape 40 remains bonded when the individual package 20 is opened. That is, one side in the vertical direction is the side from which the fastening tape 40 starts to be peeled off.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4B, the fastening tape 40 has an adhesive portion 401 and a non-adhesive portion 402 on one side surface thereof. In the adhesive portion 401, the adhesive 44 applied to one side surface of the fastening tape 40 is exposed. In the individual package 20, the adhesive portion 401 of the fastening tape 40 is arranged so as to straddle the open end 10 a of the packaging material 10, and the fastening tape 40 is joined to the packaging material 10 via the adhesive portion 401. Yes. The strength of the adhesive portion 401 is set such that the user can peel the fastening tape 40 from the packaging material 10. Further, the adhesive portion 401 allows the fastening tape 40 to be reattached to the packaging material 10 after the fastening tape 40 is peeled from the packaging material 10.

Moreover, the fastening tape 40 has a knob part 42, an intermediate part 43, and a design part 41 in order from one side in the vertical direction. The design part 41 includes a plurality of pattern parts 412 and a transparent part 411. The transparent portion 411 is a region having a light transmittance of 70% or more, and the handle portion 412 is a region having a light transmittance of less than 70%. This is because, as a result of the trial by the inventor, it has been found that when the light transmittance is 70% or more, the user has an impression of being transparent.

In this embodiment, the transparent portion 411 is colorless and transparent, and a plurality of patterned portions 412 are illustrated in which a plurality of colored dots (eg, pink) 412 are arranged in a staggered manner. More specifically, a design portion 41 of the fastening tape 40 is obtained by printing a pattern portion 412 on a resin material such as colorless and transparent polyethylene or polypropylene. However, without being limited to the above, the transparent portion 411 may be colored and transparent, and the handle portion 412 may be white. Further, the number of the pattern portions 412 is not limited to a plurality, and may be one. The shape of the handle 412 is not limited to a dot, and may be various shapes such as a star, a heart, a flower, and an animal shown in FIG. 8B described later. Moreover, the pattern part 412 may be a character, a number, a symbol, etc., for example, may show a brand name, a size, a form (with wings), etc.

Suppose that the ratio of the area of the transparent part 411 in the design part 41 is larger than 50%. That is, it is assumed that the value obtained by dividing the area of the transparent portion 411 by the area of the entire design portion 41 is larger than 0.5. That is, the transparent portion 411 is a main region in the design portion 41, and the handle portion 412 is provided in a part of the design portion 41. In this embodiment, the ratio of the area of the transparent part 411 in the design part 41 is 70%.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4B, all of the design portion 41 overlaps with the adhesive portion 401 of the fastening tape 40 and can be joined to the packaging material 10.

Incidentally, the fastening tape 40 is often used when the used napkin 1 is discarded. More specifically, the user removes the used napkin 1 from the underwear and rolls it, and takes out the new napkin 1 from the individual package 20 and attaches it to the underwear. Then, the used napkin 1 is wrapped with the packaging material 10 separated from the new napkin 1. Thereafter, as shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the fastening tape 40 is peeled off from the packaging material 10, and the end 10 a of the packaging material 10 is fastened with the fastening tape 40. By doing so, the used napkin 1 can be discarded without the packaging material 10 and the used napkin 1 being opened and exposed.

In the fastening tape 40 of the present embodiment, the main area of the design part 41 is a transparent part 411. Therefore, at the time of disposal of the napkin 1, the user visually recognizes through the transparent portion 411 that the design part 41 straddles the end 10a of the packaging material 10 and confirms the fastening tape 40 on the packaging material 10. Can be placed. Further, the transparent part 411 (design part 41) has an overlapping part with the adhesive part 401 of the fastening tape 40. For this reason, the adhesive portion 401 of the fastening tape 40 can be disposed on the packaging material portion 103 on one side of the end 10a of the packaging material 10 and also on the packaging material portion 104 on the other side. Therefore, the end 10 a of the packaging material 10 can be firmly fastened with the fastening tape 40.

Further, since the end 10a of the packaging material 10 can be visually recognized by the transparent portion 411, the user 10 can press the periphery of the end 10a of the packaging material 10 with a finger. Moreover, it can confirm that the packaging material 10 visually recognized via the transparent part 411 is firmly joined to the fastening tape 40, and is not floating.

Thus, the fastening tape 40 provided with the transparent portion 411 is easy to fasten to the packaging material 10 that encloses the used napkin 1, and the fastening tape 40 can be firmly joined to the packaging material 10. Therefore, it can suppress that the packaging material 10 which wrapped the used napkin opens.

In addition, since the fastening tape 40 includes the transparent portion 411, an impression different from the fastening tape of a general napkin package can be given to the user. Therefore, in the individual package 20 of the present embodiment, the peculiarity of the napkin package is reduced, and the user can easily carry the individual package 20.

Moreover, since the design part 41 is not comprised only by the transparent part 411 but is provided with the handle | pattern part 412, it is not integrated with the packaging material 10. FIG. Therefore, the user can recognize the position of the fastening tape 41 in the individual package 20, and can open the individual package 20 smoothly. Further, the design of the fastening tape 41 is increased by the handle portion 412.

In addition, the ratio of the area of the transparent part 411 in the design part 41 may be confirmed by a known method. For example, it can be confirmed using an area calculation program based on an image obtained by photographing the fastening tape 40. Moreover, you may confirm by visual observation. Area ratio described later (area ratio of design part 41 in fastening tape 40, area ratio of pattern part 412 in design part 41, area comparison between design pattern 30 of packaging material 10 and pattern part 412 of design part 41 ) Can be confirmed similarly.

Further, the light transmittance of the transparent part 411 may be measured by a known method. For example, it can be measured according to JIS K 7375 using a colorimetric color difference meter manufactured by Nippon Denshoku Industries Co., Ltd. or an equivalent thereof. The same applies to the light transmittance described later (light transmittance of the handle portion 412, the knob portion 42, and the intermediate portion 43).

Further, in the individual package 20 (see FIG. 5), at least a part of the design portion 41 is arranged on one side in the vertical direction from the opening end 10a of the packaging material 10 (the side where the fastening tape 40 starts to be peeled). It is preferable.

There is also a user who fastens the packaging material 10 wrapping the used napkin 1 with the fastening tape 40 without separating the fastening tape 40 from the packaging material 10 when the napkin 1 is discarded. Even in that case, if it is above, the user can press the site | part of the design part 41 of the longitudinal direction rather than the opening end 10a of the packaging material 10 with a finger | toe as a mark, and the packaging material 10 The fastening tape 40 is easy to fasten. Moreover, it can be confirmed whether the packaging material 10 visually recognized through the transparent part 411 is joined to the fastening tape 40 and is not floating. Therefore, the fastening tape 40 can be firmly joined to the packaging material 10, and the packaging material 10 enclosing the used napkin 1 can be prevented from opening.

More preferably, the ratio of the area of the design part 41 in the fastening tape 40 is 50% or more. In other words, as shown in FIG. 4A, the length L1 in the vertical direction of the design portion 41 is preferably not less than half of the length L2 in the vertical direction of the entire fastening tape 40 (L1 ≧ L2 / 2). In the present embodiment, the design portion 41 has a longitudinal length L1 of 13 mm, the intermediate portion 43 has a longitudinal length s of 7 mm, and the knob portion 42 has a longitudinal length of 5 mm. And in the individual packaging body 20, it is good for the design part 41 to straddle the opening end 10a of the packaging material 10, and to be arrange | positioned also in the other side of the vertical direction rather than the opening end 10a.

For example, when the fastening tape 40 is separated from the packaging material 10 at the time of disposal of the napkin 1 (FIG. 6A), the design portion 41 (adhesive portion 401) can open the opening end 10 a of the packaging material 10 because the design portion 41 is large. It becomes easy to arrange the fastening tape 40 so as to straddle it. Even when the fastening tape 40 is not separated from the packaging material 10, the design portion 41 straddles the opening end 10 a of the packaging material 10 so that the opening end 10 a is visually recognized through the transparent portion 411 and should be pressed with a finger. A site (a site on one side in the longitudinal direction with respect to the unsealed end 10a) is easily understood.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4B, in the fastening tape 40, one end portion in the longitudinal direction is a knob 42. The knob 42 is a non-adhesive part 402 and the adhesive 44 is not exposed. Therefore, the user can peel the fastening tape 40 by holding the knob 42 when opening the individual package 20. In addition, the user can recognize the direction of peeling of the fastening tape 40 by the knob 42 and can unfold the individual package 20.

Suppose that the knob part 42 does not have a transparent part. That is, the light transmittance of the knob 42 is assumed to be less than 70%. Preferably, the light transmittance of the knob 42 is less than 50%, and more preferably, the light transmittance of the knob 42 is less than 30%. In the present embodiment, the entire surface of the knob portion 42 is colored with a uniform density (for example, printed in pink).

By doing so, the color of the packaging material 10 and the design pattern 30 are not easily seen through the picking portion 42, and the picking portion 42 is not integrated with the packaging material 10. Therefore, the user can recognize the position of the fastening tape 41 in the individual package 20, and can open the individual package 20 smoothly.

Table 1 shows the results of evaluating the light transmittance, haze, and visual visibility of the packaging material 10 of five types of samples 1 to 5. Sample 1 is a milky white film with a dark pink print. Sample 2 is obtained by applying a matte varnish to a colorless and transparent film. Sample 3 is obtained by applying gloss varnish to a colorless and transparent film. Sample 4 is a colorless transparent film with a dark pink print. Sample 5 is a colorless transparent film printed with a light pink color.

The light transmittance and haze were measured for each sample alone using a colorimetric color difference meter manufactured by Nippon Denshoku Industries Co., Ltd. Regarding the visibility of the packaging material 10 by visual observation, samples 1 to 5 are placed on the packaging material 10 of the present embodiment, respectively, and the subject can visually recognize the design pattern 30 of the packaging material 10 through each sample. We evaluated whether there was. When the subject felt that the design pattern 30 was clearly transparent, “○”, and when the subject felt that the design pattern 30 was slightly transparent, “△”, the design pattern 30 felt invisible. In some cases, “x” was evaluated in three stages.

From the results of Table 1, it was found that when the light transmittance was around 40%, the design pattern 30 of the packaging material 10 was slightly visible. Therefore, it was found that when the light transmittance is 50% or more, the design pattern 30 of the packaging material 10 is easily seen through. In other words, it was found that if the light transmittance is less than 50%, the visibility of the fastening tape 40 is higher than the design pattern 30 of the packaging material 10. Therefore, as described above, the light transmittance of the knob 42 is preferably less than 50%. By doing so, it becomes easier for the user to recognize the position of the knob 42 in the individual package 20.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4A, the fastening tape 40 has an intermediate portion 43 between the design portion 41 and the knob portion 42 in the longitudinal direction. The intermediate portion 43 has a light transmittance lower than that of the transparent portion 411 and a light transmittance higher than that of the knob portion 42. In the present embodiment, the entire surface of the intermediate portion 43 is uniformly colored with a lighter density than the knob portion 42 (for example, printed in a light pink color).

Therefore, in the fastening tape 40, the density increases from the other side in the vertical direction to one side, and a gradation of light and shade is formed in the vertical direction. Therefore, the user can recognize the direction of peeling of the fastening tape 40 and can unfold the individual package 20.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4B, the knob 42 may be formed by folding back the longitudinal end of the fastening tape 40. In this case, the adhesive 44 can be applied to the entire surface of one side of the fastening tape (not shown) before being folded. Then, the adhesive 44 can be covered with the portion of the fastening tape 40 that is folded back, and the knob 42 that is the non-adhesive portion 402 can be formed. Further, in the fastening tape (not shown) before being folded back, the portions other than the design portion 41 can be uniformly colored. Also in this case, among the portions of the fastening tape 40 that are uniformly colored on the entire surface, the portion where the fastening tape 40 is folded back into two layers can be used as the knob 42 having a low light transmittance. The one-layer portion where the folding back of the fastening tape 40 does not overlap can be the intermediate portion 43 having a high light transmittance.

However, when the portion where the fastening tape 40 is folded and formed into two layers is used as the knob portion 42, as shown in FIG. 7A, the knob portion 42 is likely to rise from the inner end 42a of the knob portion 42. . In this case, when the individual package 20 is viewed in the thickness direction (FIG. 7B), the knob 42 is difficult to be visually recognized.

Therefore, the intermediate portion 43 preferably has an overlapping portion with the adhesive portion 401 of the fastening tape 40. In the present embodiment, the entire area of the intermediate portion 43 overlaps with the adhesive portion 401. By doing so, the intermediate portion 43 is joined to the packaging material 10 in the individual package 20. Therefore, even when the individual package 20 is viewed in the thickness direction (FIG. 7B), the intermediate portion 43 is easily visible. Therefore, the user can recognize the position of the fastening tape 40 in the individual packaging body 20 and the direction of peeling of the fastening tape 40 based on the intermediate portion 43, and can smoothly open the individual packaging body 20.

Further, if the ratio of the area of the handle portion 412 in the design portion 41 is too small, it becomes difficult for the user to recognize the position on the fastening tape 40 in the individual package 20. Therefore, it is preferable that the area ratio of the handle portion 412 in the design portion 41 is 15% or more (but less than 50%). By doing so, the user can easily recognize the position of the fastening tape 40 in the individual package 20, and can open the individual package 20 smoothly.

Moreover, it is preferable that the handle part 412 of the design part 41 has parts having different light transmittances. As shown in FIG. 4A, the handle portion 412 of this embodiment includes dots 412A having high light transmittance (for example, light pink) and dots 412B having low light transmittance (for example, dark pink). Yes.

By doing so, it becomes easy to visually recognize the packaging material 10 through the handle portion 412A having a high light transmittance, and the fastening tape 40 can be easily attached to the packaging material 10 enclosing the used napkin 1. On the other hand, the position of the fastening tape 40 in the individual package 20 is easily recognized by the handle 412B having a low light transmittance.

Further, from the results of Table 1 described above, it was found that when the light transmittance is 35% or more, the design pattern 30 of the packaging material 10 can be seen through slightly. Therefore, the handle portion 412 of the design portion 41 may have a portion (semi-transparent portion) having a light transmittance of 35% or more and less than 70%. More preferably, it may have a portion having a light transmittance of 50% or more and less than 70%. By doing so, it becomes easy to visually recognize the packaging material 10 through the handle portion 412, and the fastening tape 40 is easily secured to the packaging material 10 that encloses the used napkin 1.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4A, it is preferable that a transparent portion 411 is disposed on at least a part of the edge 40 a of the fastening tape 40. In other words, it is preferable that the handle portion 412 is not disposed along the edge 40 a of the fastening tape 40. By doing so, the outline of the fastening tape 40 becomes difficult to understand. Therefore, with the fastening tape 40 of the present embodiment, it is possible to reduce the likelihood of the fastening tape of the napkin package.

In the design part 41, it is preferable that the plurality of handle parts 412 are discretely arranged. That is, it is preferable that the plurality of handle portions 412 are arranged in a distributed manner over a wide range of the design portion 41. By doing so, it becomes easy to visually recognize the packaging material 10 through the transparent portion 411 around each pattern portion 412.

In the present embodiment, the plurality of pattern portions 412 (dots) are arranged at equal intervals in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction of the fastening tape 40, and the plurality of pattern portions 412 are arranged evenly distributed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is only necessary that the plurality of handle portions 412 are arranged at intervals.

Further, the packaging material 10 has a design pattern 30 that is visible from the outside of the individual package 20. The design pattern 30 of this embodiment is an animal (cat) pattern, and the individual package 20 has a cute design. Further, as described above, the fastening tape 40 of the present embodiment has the transparent portion 411, and the likelihood of the fastening tape of the napkin package is reduced. Therefore, for example, even if it is a young person who is a user with a short use period of a napkin, it is easy to carry the individual package 20. However, the packaging material 10 may not have a design pattern. Even in that case, the fastening tape 40 of the present embodiment can be applied, and the packaging material wrapped around the used napkin 1 can be easily fastened by the fastening tape 40.

Further, the design pattern 30 of the packaging material 10 is seen through the transparent portion 411 of the fastening tape 40 and becomes visible. Furthermore, the area of one design pattern 30 (cat) included in the packaging material 10 is preferably larger than the area of one pattern portion 412 (dots) included in the fastening tape 40. In other words, in the individual package 20, the horizontal length of the design pattern 30 (cat) of the packaging material 10 is longer than the horizontal length of the pattern portion 412 (dot) of the fastening tape 40, and the design. The length in the vertical direction of the handle 30 (cat) may be at least one of the lengths in the vertical direction of the handle 412 (dots) of the fastening tape 40.

By doing so, it is possible to prevent the design part 30 of the packaging material 10 from being completely hidden in the handle part 412, and to suppress the deterioration of the design of the individual package 20. Of the design patterns 30 of the packaging material 10, the area of the largest design pattern 30 may be larger than the area of the smallest pattern part 412, and more preferably, the area of the smallest design pattern 30 is the largest. It may be larger than the area of 412.

Further, the design pattern 30 of the packaging material 10 is preferably printed on the inner surface 101 of the packaging material 10 and visible through the outer surface 102. That is, the density of the design pattern 30A visible from the outer surface 102 side of the packaging material 10 may be lighter than the concentration of the design pattern 30B visible from the inner surface 101 side of the packaging material 10.

By doing so, for example, even in the case of a black cat like the design pattern 30 of the packaging material 10 of the present embodiment, the concentration of the black cat (design pattern 30A) of the packaging material 10 overlapping the fastening tape 40 is light. Become. Therefore, it can suppress that the visibility of the fastening tape 40 falls by the design pattern 30A of the packaging material 10. FIG. Therefore, the position of the fastening tape 40 in the individual package 20 is recognized by the user.

In addition, it is good to compare the density | concentration of the design patterns 30A and 30B by a known method. For example, a method of measuring the “color difference” of the design patterns 30A, 30B using a colorimeter (such as a color difference meter CR-300 manufactured by Konica Minolta Co., Ltd.) can be exemplified.
Specifically, first, 10 white nonwoven fabrics (15 g / m ² SMS nonwoven fabric) are placed under the packaging material 10 to be measured.
Next, the site | part of the design patterns 30A and 30B in which a peeling sheet is not located, and a white nonwoven fabric are measured using a color difference meter. When measuring the design pattern 30B visible from the inner surface 101 side of the packaging material 10, the design pattern 30A visible from the outer surface 102 side of the packaging material 10 is measured with the inner surface 101 of the packaging material 10 facing up. When doing so, the outer surface 102 of the packaging material 10 is turned up. In addition, it is good to use the average value of the value measured several times (for example, 5 times) for a measured value (L ^* value, a ^* value, b ^* value).
Next, based on the difference (ΔL ^* , Δa ^* , Δb ^* ) between the measurement result of the white nonwoven fabric and the measurement result of each design pattern 30A, 30B, the color difference ΔE ^* ab of each design pattern 30A, 30B with respect to white is calculated. Calculate with the following formula.
ΔE ^* ab = [(ΔL ^* ) ² + (Δa ^* ) ² + (Δb ^* ) ² ] ^1/2
The color difference ΔE ^* ab may be compared.

For example, as shown in FIG. 8A, the entire surface of the fastening tape 40 ′ that is being manufactured may be composed of a transparent portion 411 and a handle portion 412. And the knob | pick part 42 which is the non-adhesion part 402 may be formed by folding up the site | part (namely, design part 41) comprised from the transparent part 411 and the handle | pattern part 412. The knob portion 42 includes a first layer portion 45 that is a portion where the design portion 41 is folded, and a second layer portion 46 that is a portion of the design portion 41 that overlaps the first layer portion 45.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 8B, it is preferable that at least a part of the handle portion 412A of the first layer portion 45 is shifted from the handle portion 412B of the second layer portion 46. By doing so, in the knob portion 42, the area ratio of the handle portion 412 is increased compared to the design portion 41, and the visibility of the knob portion 42 is increased. Therefore, the position of the fastening tape 40 in the individual package 20 is easily recognized by the user by the knob 42.

Although not shown, a fastening tape constituted only by the design part 41 or a fastening tape constituted by the design part 41 and the knob part 42 without the intermediate part 43 may be used. Moreover, the knob | pick part 42 may be formed with the material of one layer instead of being formed by folding of a material. In addition, a fastening tape in which only a part of the design part 41 (transparent part 411) overlaps with the adhesive part 401, a fastening tape that does not have the non-adhesive part 402, or a stopper in which the knob part 42 overlaps with the adhesive part 401. It may be a wearing tape.

Further, the position of the design portion 41 of the fastening tape 40 in the individual package 20 is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, the design part 41 may not straddle the opening end 10 a of the packaging material 10, or the design part 41 may not be located on one side in the vertical direction from the opening end 10 a of the packaging material 10.
