  • Publication number: 20130177761
    Abstract: A surface protective film includes a polyolefin base material layer and an adhesive layer. The adhesive layer has hardness (Martens hardness) in a range of 1 N/mm2 to 2.5 N/mm2 and loop tack strength in a range of 0.02 N/25 mm to 0.1 N/25 mm. Accordingly, the surface protective film, even in a form of a rolled product, is easily wound off from a surface of the base material, and can obtain a sufficient adhesive strength to an adherend (e.g., a prism sheet) having a projection on its surface.

  • Publication number: 20120321225
    Abstract: A head of a male member and a concave groove of a female member are engageable with and disengageable from each other and form a containing space inside a bag body. On an inner surface of the concave groove, there is provided a fusion layer that fuses an outer surface of the head and the inner surface of the concave groove facing each other, when foods are heat-sterilized for long storage. A peeling strength of the fusion layer only needs to be set by selecting a material of the fusion layer or setting dimensions of an area of the fusion layer such that the fusion layer does not require a large force for opening the bag, thereby providing a favorable opening feeling. The fusion layer provides air-tightness, so that the foods can be prevented from leaking out although a pressure within the containing space is increased in the heat sterilization.

  • Publication number: 20120314978
    Abstract: A thick portion is formed thick at an end of a female belt-like base near a containing space. To the thick portion near the containing space, a cut portion thinner than the female belt-like base is provided. To the cut portion near the containing space, a seal base that is thicker than the female belt-like base and is sealed to an inner surface of a bag body to which a male belt-like base is attached, is provided. Seal strength of the thick portion to the inner surface is lower than that of the seal base. The cut portion is provided to have a lower seal strength than that of the seal base. An area surrounded by the thick portion, the cut portion, the seal base and the inner surface becomes hermetically sealed. Even when external pressure is applied on the bag body, damages to the cut portion can be prevented.

  • Publication number: 20120275730
    Abstract: Since a rib having a thickness substantially equal to a thickness of each of first and second thick portions is provided in a cutting portion of a zipper tape, the first and second thick portions and the rib can be bonded to an inner surface when the zipper tape is bonded to a bag body. Accordingly, when tearing a packaging bag for opening, stress concentrates on a thin portion having a small tensile strength, so that the packaging bag can be cut at a single cutting position in the thin portion. Consequently, no cutting fragment is generated. Moreover, since a cutting line is positioned by the rib when tearing the packaging bag, the cutting line is not waved, so that the packaging bag can easily be torn with a linear cutting performance.

  • Publication number: 20120201480
    Abstract: After engagement of a male belt-like member and a female belt-like member are disengaged, a void portion is formed by punching the female belt-like member with a die. The female belt-like member having the void portion and the male belt-like member are re-engaged with each other and fed between a folded base material film that is continuously fed. A male belt-like base and a female belt-like base are heat-sealed. A seal bar heat-seals the base material film to form a bottom seal portion. A side seal bar heat-seals the base material film to form side seal portions. The cutter cuts the base material film in the middle of the side seal portions to produce the packaging bag in which three sides of the bottom seal portion and the side seal portions are heat-sealed.

  • Publication number: 20120085479
    Abstract: A zipper tape member having a male engagement portion and a female engagement portion formed on a surface of an elongated belt-like tape is pulled out, and is punched and removed at a portion corresponding to the male engagement portion and a portion corresponding to the female engagement portion at predetermined intervals. The zipper tape member is cut between the male engagement portion and the female engagement portion by a cutting member to be separated into a male belt-like member and a female belt-like member. The male belt-like member and the female belt-like member are heat-sealed to a base film, and a packaging bag is formed by a bag-manufacturing device. This arrangement is unlikely to cause a length difference or a tension difference between the male belt-like member and the female belt-like member, so that the zipper tape can be heat-sealed without any crease or adhesion failure.
