  • Patent number: 11833109
    Abstract: A package has a bag body, at least one mouth part member bonded to the bag body, and a contained product being a liquid housed in the bag body. The bag body is formed in a bag shape by using laminates each having a sealant layer and a water vapor barrier layer composed at least of a fluorine-based resin, and by bonding together the sealant layers opposing each other so that the sealant layers are to be located on the inside of the bag body. The mouth part member is sandwiched between the oppositely facing sealant layers and is bonded thereto. The volume V of the contained product housed in the bag body is 0.1-20 cm3, and the relation between the area S (cm2) where the bag body is in contact with the contained product housed in the bag body and the aforementioned volume V (cm3) satisfies 0.05?V/S?0.25 (formula (I)).

  • Patent number: 11724483
    Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to, in a resin film containing an anti-blocking agent (organic polymer particles), achieve both a reduction in friction of the film and suppression of dropping-off of particles from the film surface. The laminated resin film of the present invention has a base film layer and a surface layer, and the surface layer contains organic polymer particles serving as an anti-blocking agent. The number proportion of the organic polymer particles having a particle size that is at least twice the average thickness of the surface layer is 35% or more of the total number of the organic polymer particles, and the number proportion of the organic polymer particles having a particle size that is at least four times the average thickness of the surface layer is 10% or less of the total number of the organic polymer particles.
