  • Patent number: 8434637
    Abstract: A packaging bag for microwave oven heating, is manufactured by using a complex film at least one side of which comprises a sealant layer, folding the complex film or placing the complex films one upon another so as to encounter the sealant layers to each other, sealing the peripheral of the overlapped complex films by a main seal part to form a sealed bag, and providing in the bag a region which is isolated from a space for storing contents by a steam port seal part. The steam port seal part surrounds a steam easy permeable element. The lamination strength between the layers of the complex film in hot condition is not less than 1.5 N/15 mm in width, and the seal strength at least at the steam port seal part in hot condition is not more than 28 N/15 mm in width.

  • Patent number: 6596355
    Abstract: A packaging material is composed of a heat resistant base layer, a sealant layer, and a resin layer disposed at least a portion between the heat-resistant base layer and the sealant layer. The resin layer is composed of a resin material having a predetermined strength in a non-heated temperature state of less than a room temperature and this strength is lowered in a high temperature state heated, for example, by a microwave oven. Such packaging material can be effectively utilized for many kinds of packaging bags or containers with the sealant layer being disposed to the inner content side of the bag or container.
