Abstract

A packaging container comprises a laminated sheet where at least a substrate, a barrier layer and a sealant layer are laminated together in this order, and the laminated sheet has a stiffness of 1.01 [mN·m] or less measured by a Taber stiffness tester method in accordance with JIS-P8125.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A packaging container, comprising:
a laminated sheet where at least a substrate, a barrier layer and a sealant layer are laminated together in this order,
wherein the laminated sheet has a stiffness of 1.01 mN·m or less measured by a Taber stiffness tester method in accordance with JIS-P8125, and
wherein the substrate is a substrate having a basis weight of 60 to 140 g/m 2 and a thickness of 120 to 220 μm, and,
the sealant layer is a CPP film having a thickness of 30 μm or more.

2. The packaging container of claim 1 , comprising:
the laminated sheet, wherein the packaging container has a front surface portion and a rear surface portion disposed so that the sealant layers face each other, a bottom surface portion folded between the front surface portion and the rear surface portion from a first end of the front surface portion and the rear surface portion, side sealing portions having two-layered structure in which edge portions of the front surface portion and the rear surface portion in the width direction are overlapped with each other and are sealed, and a bottom surface sealing portion having four-layered structure in which edge portions of the front surface portion and the rear surface portion, and edge portions of the bottom surface portion in the width direction are overlapped with one another and are sealed,
wherein a depth of a bottom folded depth where the bottom surface portion is folded is set to 10 to 40% of a height of the side face part.

3. The packaging container of claim 2 ,
wherein a point sealing having a width of 40 to 90% of a sealing width is provided at each boundary portion between the bottom surface sealing portion and the side sealing portion.

4. The packaging container of claim 1 ,
wherein a blanked portion is provided at each bottom surface sealing portion at a position of 5 to 50% of the bottom folded depth from the bottom edge of the bottom surface sealing portion.

5. The packaging container of claim 1 ,
wherein the substrate comprises a material containing cellulose, or a material containing resin and natural mineral.

6. The packaging container of claim 1 , wherein the CPP film has the thickness of 50.0 μm or more.

7. The packaging container of claim 1 , wherein the CPP film has the thickness of 70.0 μm or more.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CPP film has the thickness of 50.0 μm or more.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CPP film has the thickness of 70.0 μm or more.

10. A packaging container produced by a method of producing a packaging container, comprising:
a step of preparing a laminated sheet including a substrate, a barrier layer and a sealant layer laminated together in this order, wherein the laminated sheet is formed in a rectangle having a first direction and a second direction perpendicular to each other, and a front surface portion, a first area and a second area of a bottom surface portion, and a rear surface portion are defined and formed in this order along the first direction;
a step of folding the laminated sheet in half so that the folded sealant layers face each other, and the front surface portion and the rear surface portion, and the first area and the second area of the bottom surface portion are respectively overlapped with each other;
a step of forming a blanked portion at both edges of the first area and the second area in the second direction of the first area and the second area by removing part of the both edges of the first area and the second area with the first area and the second area of the bottom surface portion being overlapped with each other;
a step of folding the first area and the second area inside between the front surface portion and the rear surface portion such that the blanked portions of each of the first area and the second area face each other, and the first area and the second area are overlapped with each other; and,

a step of sealing each sealant layer of the front surface portion and the rear surface portion, each sealant layer of the front surface portion and the first area of the bottom surface portion, each sealant layer of the rear surface portion and the second area of the bottom surface portion, and each sealant layer of the front surface portion and the rear surface portion through each of the blanked portions of the first area and the second area at both end portions of the front surface portion and the rear surface portion in the second direction, wherein the substrate is a substrate having a basis weight of 60 to 140 g/m 2 and a thickness of 120 to 220 μm, and,
each sealant layer is a CPP film having a thickness of 30 μm or more.

11. A packaging container produced by the method of producing a packaging container of claim 10 ,
further comprising a step of sealing each sealant layer of the front surface portion and the first area of the bottom surface portion, each sealant layer of the front surface portion, and each sealant layer of the rear surface portion and the second area of the bottom surface portion at both end portions of the front surface portion and the rear surface portion in the second direction with the first area and the second area of the bottom surface portion being overlapped with each other.

12. The packaging container produced by the method of producing a packaging container of claim 10 ,
further comprising a step of sealing part of the sealant layers of a double-layered region in which the front surface portion and the rear surface portion are overlapped with each other and a quadruple-layered region in which the front surface portion, the rear surface portion, and the first area and the second area of the bottom surface portion are overlapped with one another, at both end portions of the front surface portion and the rear surface portion in the second direction.

13. The packaging container of claim 10 , wherein the CPP film has the thickness of 50.0 μm or more.

14. The packaging container of claim 10 , wherein the CPP film has the thickness of 70.0 μm or more.

15. A method of producing a packaging container, comprising the steps of:
a step of preparing a laminated sheet including a substrate, a barrier layer and a sealant layer laminated together in this order, wherein the laminated sheet is formed in a rectangle having a first direction and a second direction perpendicular to each other, and a front surface portion, a first area and a second area of a bottom surface portion, and a rear surface portion are defined and formed in this order along the first direction;
a step of folding the laminated sheet in half so that the folded sealant layers face each other, and the front surface portion and the rear surface portion, and the first area and the second area of the bottom surface portion are respectively overlapped with each other;
a step of forming a blanked portion at both edges of the first area and the second area in the second direction of the first area and the second area by removing part of the both edges of the first area and the second area with the first area and the second area of the bottom surface portion being overlapped with each other;
a step of folding the first area and the second area inside between the front surface portion and the rear surface portion such that the blanked portions of each of the first area and the second area face each other, and the first area and the second area are overlapped with each other; and,

a step of sealing each sealant layer of the front surface portion and the rear surface portion, each sealant layer of the front surface portion and the first area of the bottom surface portion, each sealant laye
