  • Patent number: 11731821
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a film and a pouch having basic characteristics such as a strength and barrier properties and achieving good openability. A film (10) according to the present invention includes at least a sealant layer (11), the film is formed with a cut guide line (G), and the cut guide line includes an impression (11A) formed in a surface of the sealant layer. In a pouch (30), the films are superimposed in a state where the sealant layers face each other, and peripheral edge parts are heat-sealed. The cut guide line is placed extending across at least a position where heat seal is not performed.

  • Publication number: 20220242650
    Abstract: The present invention addresses an object for providing a microwavable pouch in which a slitting portion does not unintentionally rupture during heating while obtaining excellent openability. A microwavable pouch according to the present invention is formed into a bag shape by thermally bonding laminated films and includes an automatic steam venting mechanism. The laminated film has a configuration of polybutylene terephthalate layer/vapor-deposited polyethylene terephthalate layer/cast polypropylene layer, or a configuration of vapor-deposited polyethylene terephthalate layer/polybutylene terephthalate layer/cast polypropylene layer, and at least part of the intermediate layer of the laminated film has a slitting portion.

  • Publication number: 20220024660
    Abstract: A packaging bag including a polyester-based multilayer film. The multilayer film includes at least: an innermost layer formed of a biaxially stretched polyethylene terephthalate film; a layer formed of polybutylene terephthalate; and/or a layer formed of a blend of polyethylene terephthalate and polybutylene terephthalate. The biaxially stretched polyethylene terephthalate film has a heat sealing portion that is amorphized or low-crystallized by laser light irradiation. The packaging bag is formed by allowing the innermost layers of the polyester-based multilayer film to be opposed to and superimposed on each other, and heat sealing the heat sealing portions.
