  • Package for stick-like article
    Patent number: 5957290
    Abstract: A package for a stick-like article includes a first film having flat portions (14b) and a bulging portion (14a) for enclosing a stick-like article, and a second film which is joined to the first film by heat sealing. Joint portions (33, 34) are formed near both longitudinal ends. Since the package is separated from a packaging container (11) except for areas near both longitudinal ends, fingers can be easily inserted between the package for a stick-like article and the packaging container (11). This makes it easy to remove the package for a stick-like article from the packaging container (11). Since the width of the flat portions (14b) at the lateral edges of the package for a stick-like article can be made narrower, the width of the package becomes narrower. Accordingly, the consumption of the first and second films can be reduced.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 15, 1998
    Date of Patent: September 28, 1999
    Assignee: Tetra Laval Holdings & Finance, S.A.
    Inventors: Thomas Stridsberg, Masashi Watanabe, Norio Kobayashi
