  • Publication number: 20230026514
    Abstract: The present invention provides a laminated sheet for manufacturing a packaging container. The laminated sheet comprises a pair of plastic sheets, a barrier sheet, a barrier region, an easily peelable region, and a fixing region. The barrier sheet has flexibility and is disposed between the pair of plastic sheets. The barrier region is formed by overlapping the pair of plastic sheets and the barrier sheet with each other. The easily peelable region is provided in the barrier region. The fixing region is located in a circumference of the easily peelable region, in which the pair of plastic sheets are fixed to each other directly and/or via the barrier sheet. A peel strength between the pair of plastic sheets and the barrier sheet in the easily peelable region is smaller than a direct peel strength between the pair of plastic sheets and/or a peel strength between the pair of plastic sheets via the barrier sheet in the fixing region.

  • Patent number: 6899793
    Abstract: A method of producing a pulp molded article. The method feeds a pulp slurry to a cavity of a papermaking mold having a prescribed cavity shape to form a pulp preform including a main part having an opening and a separable part having a flange and connected to an edge of the opening. A pressing member is inserted into the preform, the pressing member is expanded to press the preform toward the papermaking surface, the preform is removed from the papermaking mold, and then the preform is cut at a joint between the separable part and the main part.

  • Patent number: 6797120
    Abstract: A method for producing a pulp molded article is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of forming and drying a pulp molded precursor (15). The drying step includes a first step and a second step. In the first step, the precursor (15) is set in a cavity of a heating mold, and is hot-pressed. The cavity has a configuration in conformity to the contour of the pulp molded article to be produced. In the second step, the hot-pressed precursor (15) is taken out from the heating mold and is heat-dried in a drying furnace.
