Abstract

The present invention provides a sheet material container being made of a sheet material and including a body portion and a bottom portion that is to be disposed on a placement surface, and the sheet material including a plurality of film layers. A body portion sheet that constitutes the body portion includes a bonding portion where peripheral edge portions of the sheet materials are bonded. In a bottom surface sheet that constitutes the bottom portion, a non-adhesive region is provided in the plurality of film layers. The non-adhesive region forms a bottom filler-filled portion. The bottom filler-filled portion extends annularly around a non-filled portion, and includes at least three protruding leg portions that are to be placed on the placement surface so as to allow the container to stand by itself. The protruding leg portions protrude toward the placement surface past other portions in the bottom filler-filled portion due a leg forming portion.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A sheet material container being made of a sheet material and comprising a body portion and a bottom portion that is configured to be disposed on a placement surface, and the sheet material including a plurality of film layers and having a pair of front and back front sheets and a bottom surface gusset portion sheet, wherein
the sheet material container comprises a bonding portion in which peripheral edge portions of the pair of front and back front sheets and a peripheral edge portion of the bottom surface gusset portion sheet, which is foldable in half inward of the pair of front and back front sheets via a folding crease line, are bonded,
in portions along bottom portions of the pair of front and back front sheets, a non-adhesive region is provided in the plurality of film layers, the non-adhesive region forming a bottom filler-filled portion when it is filled with a filler,
the bottom filler-filled portion is provided in a boundary region between the bottom portions of the pair of front and back front sheets and the bottom surface gusset portion sheet,
the bottom filler-filled portion is formed so as to have a rectangular frame shape that includes a pair of intersecting filled portions, the intersecting filled portions being provided on the bottom surface gusset portion sheet and intersecting the folding crease line, and
the bottom filler-filled portion forms a leg portion that is configured to be placed on the placement surface to allow the container to stand by itself.

2. The sheet material container according to claim 1 , wherein
in a state in which the non-adhesive region is filled with a filler, the bottom filler-filled portion has a protruding leg portion that protrudes toward the placement surface past the other portions in the bottom filler-filled portion.

3. A production method for producing the sheet material container according to claim 1 , the method comprising:
forming a web of the sheet material in which the non-adhesive region is provided in portions along bottom portions of the pair of front and back front sheets;
bonding together a peripheral edge portion of a portion of the sheet material corresponding to an individual sheet material container in the web;
cutting the bonded web to predetermined dimensions; and
filling the non-adhesive region with a filler to form the bottom filler-filled portion.

4. A container product comprising the sheet material container according to claim 1 ,
wherein a content material is contained in a containing portion that is surrounded by the body portion and the bottom portion.

5. A production method for producing the container product according to claim 4 , the method comprising containing the content material in the containing portion that is surrounded by the body portion and the bottom portion of the sheet material container.

6. A container-forming sheet material that is configured to form the sheet material container according to claim 1 , and is formed from the sheet material in which the plurality of film layers are stacked,
the container-forming sheet material comprising: the sheet material including the pair of front and back front sheets and the bottom surface gusset portion sheet; and the bonding portion,
the bottom surface gusset portion sheet including the folding crease line, and is folded flat via the folding crease line, and
in the portions along bottom portions of the pair of front and back front sheets, the non-adhesive region to be filled with the filler is provided.

7. A production method for producing the container-forming sheet material according to claim 6 , the method comprising:
forming a web of the sheet material in which the non-adhesive region is provided in portions along bottom portions of the pair of front and back front sheets;
bonding together a peripheral edge portion of a portion corresponding to an individual container-forming sheet material in the web; and
cutting the bonded web to predetermined dimensions.

8. A sheet material container being made of a sheet material and comprising a body portion and a bottom portion that is configured to be disposed on a placement surface, and the sheet material including a plurality of film layers and having a pair of front and back front sheets and a bottom surface gusset portion sheet, wherein
the pair of front and back front sheets and the bottom surface gusset portion sheet are made of a single sheet,
in portions along bottom portions of the pair of front and back front sheets, a non-adhesive region is provided in the plurality of film layers, the non-adhesive region forming a bottom filler-filled portion when it is filled with a filler,
the bottom filler-filled portion is provided in a boundary region between the bottom portions of the pair of front and back front sheets and the bottom surface gusset portion sheet,
the bottom filler-filled portion is formed so as to have a rectangular frame shape that includes a pair of intersecting filled portions, the intersecting filled portions being provided on the bottom surface gusset portion sheet and intersecting a folding crease line, and
the bottom filler-filled portion forms a leg portion that is configured to be placed on the placement surface to allow the container to stand by itself.
