  • Patent number: 10399762
    Abstract: A packaging material is formed of a composite film obtained by bonding a first film formed of a resin film and a second film having a stretch ratio lower than a stretch ratio of the resin film forming the first film or formed of a non-oriented resin film. The first film has a linear cut, a predetermined length in the longitudinal direction of the cut, and a predetermined width in a direction perpendicular to the cut. The packaging material includes a first strongly bonded section in which the first film and the second film are firmly bonded and a first weakly bonded section and a second weakly bonded section provided at both sides of the first strongly bonded section, with the first film and the second film being weakly bonded in the first weakly bonded section and the second weakly bonded section.

  • Patent number: 7045190
    Abstract: A packaging material is provided that can provide a packaging bag or container cover in which the contents is shielded from the atmosphere and tightly sealed, a small hole is formed in the appropriate locations, without special processing of the heat seal portion, and the internal pressure is maintained with high stability at a level above the normal pressure. The packaging material is suitable, for example, for heating in a microwave oven. The packaging material uses a film in which a heat sealing agent (4) with a low melting point is applied to a prescribed zone of an oriented film (2) made of a synthetic resin, a cutting line (5) is cut in the oriented film (2) made of a synthetic resin in the form of a solid or broken line passing through the zone coated with the heat sealing agent (4), and a cast film (3) made of a synthetic resin and having heat sealing properties is affixed to the oriented film (2) made of a synthetic resin. Such film is used for a packaging bag (1) or a container cover.

  • Patent number: 5185909
    Abstract: A zipper for closing the mouth of a bag that is formed by a groove on an internal face of tape, on one side, and a rib to be fitted to the groove on another internal face of the tape, on the other side. A bonding agent layer is provided on the outer side of the respective tapes and pastes a parting pattern paper on the outside of these bonding agent layers. This zipper, even if it is made of a substance which lacks heat sealing properties between the inner face of the bag and the zipper, can be attached easily to the inside mouth of the bag by pasting up the bonding agent covered by the parting pattern paper, to the inner face of mouth of the bag, by stripping the said parting pattern paper.

  • Patent number: 5055152
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an easily separable laminated/perforated film for packings, that can seal the contents under transportation and storage situations and can be formed to the situation for communicating the container interior with the external side when it is to be used.This laminated/perforated film is the film which has bonded both the films in simulation by providing many perforations onto a formed film and by pressing another film which has been extruded from a film forming machine and which is still in a fused state against this perforated film, and this simulation bonding is to be achieved when the film in the fused state has invaded into the perforations of another film.

  • Patent number: 4874257
    Abstract: A closed filled bag is formed using a cylindrical mandrel by feeding a bag forming sheet of a heat-sealable film which is of a web and is directed in a manner to one side of the mandrel so that it leaves two marginal edges on the opposite side of the mandrel which are guided into abutting relationship while the body thereof is formed into a cylinder around the mandrel. The zipper tape is fed to the mandrel and it is provided with spaced apart zipper elements which during feeding are folded into juxtaposition so that a U-shaped zipper tape is fed to the mandrel to overlie the two marginal edges which are of the bag forming sheet and the zipper tape has marginal edges below the zipper elements which are secured to the marginal edges of the bag forming sheet.
