Abstract

A packaging bag is formed in a bag shape by overlapping of a laminated film and a laminated film facing each other, and unsealed by cutting of a predetermined section. The packaging bag includes a zipper for opening and closing an opening, the zipper being provided along edges of the opening formed by the unsealing, a linear cut section that is formed in a functional layer of the laminated film so as to be parallel to the zipper, and becomes the edge of the opening by the unsealing of the packaging bag, and a linear cut section that is formed at a different level from the cut section in a functional layer of the laminated film so as to be parallel to the zipper, and becomes the edge of the opening by the unsealing of the packaging bag.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A packaging bag formed in a bag shape by overlapping of a first laminated film and a second laminated film facing each other, and unsealed by cutting of a predetermined section, the packaging bag comprising:
a zipper for opening and closing an opening, the zipper being provided along first and second edges of the opening formed by the unsealing;
a linear first cut section that is formed in an intermediate layer of the first laminated film so as to be parallel to the zipper, and becomes the first edge of the opening by the unsealing; and
a linear second cut section that is formed at a different level from the linear first cut section in an intermediate layer of the second laminated film so as to be parallel to the zipper, and becomes the second edge of the opening by the unsealing,
wherein the linear first cut section includes a plurality of cuts and the linear second cut section includes a plurality of cuts, and wherein
the plurality of cuts of the linear first cut section and the plurality of cuts of the linear second cut sections are each formed spaced from each other so as to be parallel to the zipper,
a third cut section is formed in an outer layer of the first laminated film so as to overlap with the linear first cut section, and
a fourth cut section is formed in an outer layer of the second laminated film so as to overlap with the linear second cut section.

2. The packaging bag according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of cuts of the linear first cut section and the linear second cut section are continuous cuts.

3. The packaging bag according to claim 1 or 2 , the linear second cut section is formed at a center of a region where the linear first cut section is projected in the second laminated film.

4. The packaging bag according to claim 1 , wherein
the third cut section includes a plurality of cuts formed spaced from each other so as to be parallel to the zipper, and
the fourth cut section is formed at a center of a region where the third cut section is projected in the second laminated film.

5. The packaging bag according to claim 1 , comprising a notch that serves as a starting position of the unsealing, wherein the notch is formed by one end of a curved shape and one end of a V-shape continued to the one end of the curved shape, and the linear first cut section or the linear second cut section is provided in a tip direction of the V-shape.

6. The packaging bag according to claim 1 , comprising:
a notch that serves as a starting position of the unsealing; and
a guide section for guiding a direction of cutting by the notch to the linear first cut section or the linear second cut section.

7. The packaging bag according to claim 1 , wherein the zipper further comprises a pair of pedestal sections, wherein the pair of pedestal sections includes a first pedestal section and a second pedestal section, wherein an edges of the first pedestal section is at a different level in a direction of the opening than an edge of the second pedestal section.

8. The packaging bag according to claim 7 , wherein the edge of the first pedestal section is further apart from a top section of the bag than the edge of the second pedestal section,
the linear first cut section is formed above the edge of the first pedestal section and below the edge of the second pedestal section,
the linear second cut section is formed above the edge of the second pedestal section, and
the linear first cut section is further formed above the linear second cut section.

9. The packaging bag according to claim 1 , wherein the zipper is formed with an uneven shape on a side, close to the opening, of a pedestal section.

10. A method for manufacturing a packaging bag, the packaging bag being formed in a bag shape by overlapping of a first laminated film and a second laminated film facing each other, being unsealed by cutting of a predetermined section, and being provided with a zipper for opening and closing an opening, the zipper being provided along first and second edges of the opening formed by the unsealing, the method comprising:
forming a linear first cut section that becomes the first edge of the opening by the unsealing, in an intermediate layer of the first laminated film so as to be parallel to the zipper, wherein the linear first cut section includes a plurality of cuts;
forming a linear second cut section that becomes the second edge of the opening by the unsealing, at a different level from the linear first cut section, in an intermediate layer of the second laminated film so as to be parallel to the zipper; wherein the linear second cut section includes a plurality of cuts,
wherein the plurality of cuts of the linear first cut section and the plurality of cuts of the linear second cut sections are each formed spaced from each other so as to be parallel to the zipper;
forming a third cut section in an outer layer of the first laminated film so as to overlap with the linear first cut section;
forming a fourth cut section in an outer layer of the second laminated film so as to overlap with the linear second cut section; and
overlapping the first laminated film with a heat seal layer bonded thereto with the second laminated film with a heat seal layer bonded thereto to be formed in the bag shape.
