  • Patent number: 7077570
    Abstract: A zipper tape is provided which can freely be used regardless of whether the zipper tape is made from a polypropylene-based resin or a polyethylene-based resin and also on which letters can be printed or any color can be given thereto. A method of producing the zipper tape with high productivity by means of extruding male strips and female strips in rows in a batch is provided. The zipper tape (2) with the mating section (3) (the male strip (3a) and the female strip (3b)) formed thereon has a three-layered structure comprising the heat-insulating film (6) as an intermediate layer, the thermally fused film (7) thermally fused and bonded to one side of the heat-insulating film (6) of the bag (5), and the thermally fused film (8) for formation of a mating section bonded to another side of the bag (5).

  • Patent number: 7045183
    Abstract: The ease of opening of a tubular casing is facilitated based on a plastic film comprising three or more layers. The tubular sealed casing (1) for packaging the contents therein is based on a composite plastic film formed into a tubular form by bending the base film into a circular form, overlaying two edges of the bent base film, and heat-sealing the overlaid section so that a not heat-sealed section (8) will be left in an edge section of an upper film when the two edges thereof are overlaid on each other. The casing base film (2) is a composite plastic film comprising three or more layers. In this casing, the peel strength between the outer layer (5) and intermediate layer film (3) is set to a lower level as compared to the peel strength between the inner layer film (4) and intermediate layer film (3).

A method of producing the zipper tape with high productivity by means of extruding male strips and female strips in rows in a batch is provided. The zipper tape with the mating section formed thereon has a three-layered structure. The male strips and female strip for forming a mating section together are extruded from a miscellaneous extrusion molding machine onto a surface of the thermally fused film for forming a mating section in rows in the state where adjoining male and female strips form pairs respectively and are thermally fused and bonded to the base tape.

  • Patent number: 6640703
    Abstract: A gravure printing method is provided for printing characters or patterns with desired colors and tones on a base material with a printing drum set with 200 to 400 mesh lines and the depth in the range from 10 to 17&mgr;. The ink may be process color of aquatic gravure ink in which coloring materials for indigo blue, red, yellow, black, and white colors are printed once or repeatedly in the overlaid state or specially toned inks. Another aspect of the invention provides an ink pan structure and arrangement for a gravure printing machines using aquatic or oil gravure ink. The ink pan structure has an ink pool sized for only a furnisher roll to be dipped therein and a cooperating printing drum is always maintained outside the ink pool. A furnisher roller unit and arrangement for a gravure printing machine is also provided. The unit may include a plurality of furnisher rollers. A doctor knife unit and arrangement for a gravure printing machine is also provided. The unit may include a plurality of doctor knives.

  • Publication number: 20020157773
    Abstract: An environment friendly method of producing gravure-printed laminated packaging materials is provided enabling a reduction in a quantity of organic solvents used in printing processes. The method includes gravure printing using aquatic gravure printing inks on a gravure-printed base film and laminating an intermediate base film and/or a heat-sealable film on the gravure-printed base film with an extrusion lamination method using a polarizing resin not requiring any anchor coating agent for the lamination. An extrusion lamination method using a polarizing resin not requiring any anchor coating agent may be used for the formation of a heat-sealable resin layer.
