Abstract

An object is to provide a packaging bag that can be suitably used with provision of a score line. The packaging bag has a rectangular shape formed by overlapping film sheets and sealing at least three edges thereof to form a container part. In the packaging bag, a score line, in which the strength of the film is reduced, is formed on the container part away from the seal part in plan view. The packaging bag further includes a notch formed in at least one edge among the three edges and serving as a start point for breaking the film when the container part is to be opened. The score line is formed along a straight line extending from the notch to an edge facing the edge in which the notch is formed, in a direction perpendicular to the edge in which the notch is formed.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A packaging bag comprising:
a first rectangular film and a second rectangular film overlapping with the first rectangular film; each of the first rectangular film and the second rectangular film includes a first edge, a second edge, which is opposite to the first edge, a third edge, which is adjacent to the first edge and the second edge, and a fourth edge, which is opposite to the third edge; the first edge, the second edge, the third edge and the fourth edge of the first rectangular film are sealed with respective edges of the second rectangular film, thereby forming a seal portion of the packaging bag, the seal part surrounds a container part of the packaging bag with an inner edge of seal part facing the container part, the seal part includes a first notch on the first edges of the first rectangular film and the second rectangular film and a second notch on the fourth edges of the first rectangular film and the second rectangular film, the container part includes a first score line, the first score line does not extend into the seal part, the first score line includes a first curve and a second curve, the first curve of the first score line starts at a first distance in a direction from the third edge to the fourth edge from a first phantom straight line extending from the first notch perpendicular to the first edge, the first line intersects the first phantom straight line, the second curve of the first score line is parallel to the third edge at a second distance from the first phantom straight line in a direction from the fourth edge to the third edge, and each of the first distance and the second distance is 1 mm or more and 5 mm or less.

2. The packaging bag of claim 1 , wherein each of the first rectangular film and the second rectangular film is a multilayer film.

3. The packaging bag of claim 2 , wherein each of the first rectangular film and the second rectangular film is a laminated multilayer film.

4. The packaging bag of claim 2 , wherein each of the first rectangular film and the second rectangular film comprises a sealant layer, wherein the sealant layer of the first rectangular film faces the sealant layer of the second rectangular film.

5. The packaging bag of claim 4 , wherein each of the first rectangular film and the second rectangular film further comprises an aluminum layer.

6. The packaging bag of claim 3 , wherein the first score line and the second score line are formed only in a respective outermost layer of the first rectangular film and the second rectangular film without extending through other layers of the first rectangular film and the second rectangular film.

7. A packaging bag comprising:
a first rectangular film and a second rectangular film overlapping with the first rectangular film; each of the first rectangular film and the second rectangular film includes a first edge, a second edge, which is opposite to the first edge, a third edge, which is adjacent to the first edge and the second edge, and a fourth edge, which is opposite to the third edge; the first edge, the second edge, the third edge and the fourth edge of the first rectangular film are sealed with respective edges of the second rectangular film, thereby forming a seal portion of the packaging bag, the seal part surrounds a container part of the packaging bag with an inner edge of seal part facing the container part, the seal part includes a first notch on the first edges of the first rectangular film and the second rectangular film and a second notch on the fourth edges of the first rectangular film and the second rectangular film, the container part includes a first curved score line, which intersects a first phantom straight line extending from the first notch perpendicular to the first edges in two points and a second curved score line which intersects a second phantom straight line extending from the second notches perpendicular to the fourth edges in two points, the first curved score line intersects the second curved score line in a single point, the first score line starts at a first distance in a direction from the first edge to the second edge extending from the first notch perpendicular to the first edge, the second score lines starts at a second distance in a direction from the fourth edge to the third edge extending from the second notch perpendicular to the fourth edge and each of the first distance and the second distance is 1 mm or more.

8. The packaging bag of claim 7 , wherein each of the first rectangular film and the second rectangular film is a multilayer film.

9. The packaging bag of claim 8 , wherein each of the first rectangular film and the second rectangular film is a laminated multilayer film.

10. The packaging bag of claim 8 , wherein each of the first rectangular film and the second rectangular film comprises a sealant layer, wherein the sealant layer of the first rectangular film faces the sealant layer of the second rectangular film.

11. The packaging bag of claim 10 , wherein each of the first rectangular film and the second rectangular film further comprises an aluminum layer.

12. The packaging bag of claim 9 , wherein the first score line and the second score line are formed only in a respective outermost layer of the first rectangular film and the second rectangular film without extending through other layers of the first rectangular film and the second rectangular film.
