Abstract

A zipper tape includes a male belt-shaped base including a male base layer continuous with a male portion, and a female belt-shaped base including a female base layer continuous with a female portion. The male base layer and the female base layer are made of linear low-density polyethylene. A base film includes a sealant layer made of a resin containing polypropylene at 50 mass % or more with respect to the other resin component. A male seal layer and a female seal layer, which are bonded to the sealant layer, are made of a resin containing polyethylene at 50 mass % or more with respect to the other resin.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

a bag body comprising a layered film comprising at least two layers; and
a zipper tape comprising:
a male member comprising: a layered male belt-shaped base comprising at least two layers; and a male portion provided to the male belt-shaped base; and
a female member comprising: a layered female belt-shaped base comprising at least two layers; and a female portion provided to the female belt-shaped base and engageable with the male portion, the male belt-shaped base of the male member and the female belt-shaped base of the female member being bonded to an inner surface of the bag body, wherein
the at least two layers of the film comprise a layer exposed on the inner surface of the bag body and made of a resin comprising polypropylene at 50 mass % or more with respect to the other resin component,
the male belt-shaped base and the female belt-shaped base each have a surface bonded to the inner surface of the bag body,
the at least two layers of each of the male belt-shaped base and the female belt-shaped base comprise a first layer exposed on the bonded surface and made of a resin comprising polyethylene at 50 mass % or more with respect to the other resin component,
the at least two layers of the male belt-shaped base further comprise a layer continuous with the male portion,
the at least two layers of the female belt-shaped base further comprise a second layer continuous with the female portion,
the second layer of each of the male belt-shaped base and the female belt-shaped base is made of linear low-density polyethylene, and
a density of the linear low-density polyethylene ranges from 905 kg/m 3 to 925 kg/m 3 .

2. A zipper-tape bag comprising:
a bag body comprising a layered film comprising at least two layers; and
a zipper tape comprising:
a male member comprising: a layered male belt-shaped base comprising at least two layers; and a male portion provided to the male belt-shaped base; and
a female member comprising: a layered female belt-shaped base comprising at least two layers; and a female portion provided to the female belt-shaped base and engageable with the male portion, one of the male belt-shaped base and the female belt-shaped base being elongated toward a side in a width direction to have a width longer than a width of the other of the male belt-shaped base and the female belt-shaped base when the male portion and the female portion are engaged with each other, wherein
the other of the male belt-shaped base and the female belt-shaped base, which is not elongated, has a first surface provided with the male portion or the female portion and a second surface opposite to the first surface and bonded to an inner surface of the bag body, and the elongated one of the male belt-shaped base and the female belt-shaped base has an elongated area having a surface bonded to the inner surface of the bag body at a side where the male portion or the female portion projects,
the at least two layers of the film comprise a layer exposed on the inner surface of the bag body and made of a resin comprising polypropylene at 50 mass % or more with respect to the other resin component,
the at least two layers of the other of the male belt-shaped base and the female belt-shaped base, which is not elongated, comprise a first layer exposed on the second surface,
the at least two layers of the elongated one of the male belt-shaped base and the female belt-shaped base comprise a first layer exposed on the surface of the elongated area at the side where the male portion or the female portion projects,
the first layer of each of the male belt-shaped base and the female belt-shaped base is made of a resin comprising polyethylene at 50 mass% or more with respect to the other resin component,
the at least two layers of the male belt-shaped base further comprise a layer continuous with the male portion,
the at least two layers of the female belt-shaped base further comprise a second layer continuous with the female portion,
the second layer of each of the male belt-shaped base and the female belt-shaped base is made of linear low-density polyethylene, and
a density of the linear low-density polyethylene ranges from 905 kg/m 3 to 925 kg/m 3 .

3. The zipper-tape bag according to claim 2 , wherein the at least two layers of the elongated one of the male belt-shaped base and the female belt-shaped base further comprise a third layer provided to the second surface, the third layer being made of a resin comprising polyethylene at 50 mass % or more with respect to the other resin component.

4. The zipper-tape bag according to claim 1 , wherein the density of the linear low-density polyethylene ranges from 910 kg/m 3 to 925 kg/m 3 .

5. The zipper-tape bag according to claim 1 , wherein
the bag body is formed into a bag-shape by folding a single sheet of the film and bonding a doubled periphery of the film, and
the periphery of the bag body is provided with a bonding portion where the film is bonded to itself with a longitudinal end of the zipper tape being sandwiched in the film.

6. The zipper-tape bag according to claim 1 , wherein
the bag body is formed into a bag-shape by laying at least two sheets of the film on each other and bonding a doubled periphery of the film, and
the periphery of the bag body is provided with a pair of bonding portions where the sheets of the film are bonded to each other with a longitudinal end of the zipper tape being sandwiched therebetween.

7. A manufacturing method of a zipper-tape bag, the zipper-tape bag comprising:
a bag body comprising a layered film comprising at least two layers; and
a zipper tape comprising:
a male member comprising: a layered male belt-shaped base comprising at least two layers; and a male portion provided to the male belt-shaped base; and
a female member comprising: a layered female belt-shaped base comprising at least two layers; and a female portion provided to the female belt-shaped base and engageable with the male portion, the male belt-shaped base of the male member and the female belt-shaped base of the female member being bonded to an inner surface of the bag body, wherein
the at least two layers of the film comprise a layer exposed on the inner surface of the bag body and made of a resin comprising polypropylene at 50 mass % or more with respect to the other resin component,
the male belt-shaped base and the female belt-shaped base each have a surface bonded to the inner surface of the bag body,
