Abstract

A male belt-shaped base having a male member with a short width, and a separation strip are heat-sealed to a film. A female belt-shaped base having a female member with a long width is heat-sealed at a predetermined position so that the male portion and the female portion are at engageable positions. The film is layered and suitably sealed to form a zipper-tape bag. The film and the separation strip are cut to form a cut portion at a non-bonded region in which the film of the zipper-tape bag is not bonded, thereby forming an unsealing tab. The unsealing tab can be easily formed by simply cutting the film.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A manufacturing method of a bag comprising a bag body comprising a folded single film or at least two sheets of film layered on each other, and a tape bonded to one of inner surfaces of the bag body, wherein
the tape comprises at least one elongated base, a longitudinal separation strip bonded to the base along a longitudinal direction of the base and configured to tear the base and the film, and at least one protrusion located on a surface of a part of the base at which the separation strip is not bonded, the protrusion protruding in a direction normal to the base in which the separation strip is protruded, the method comprising:
attaching the base to the film defining the one of inner surfaces of the bag body separately from the separation strip or with the separation strip having been integrated with the base;
cutting the tape and the film attached with the base to form a tab without cutting the film facing the film attached with the base at a non-bonded region at which the tape is not bonded to a facing portion defined at a part of the film facing the film attached with the base and facing the tape; and
bonding the film facing the film attached with the base, at a partition seal partially surrounding the non-bonded region, to the surface of the protrusions opposite the surface attached with the base.

2. The manufacturing method of a bag according to claim 1 , wherein
in order to form the tab, a mechanism comprising a blade and a movement restrictor configured to restrict a movement of the blade is used to cut the film from an outer surface of the film with the blade and, when the blade reaches a predetermined depth, the movement of the blade is restricted by the movement restrictor.

3. A bag comprising:
a bag body comprising a folded single film or at least two sheets of film layered on each other; and
a tape bonded to one of inner surfaces of the bag body, wherein
the tape comprises:
at least one elongated base;
a longitudinal separation strip bonded to the base along a longitudinal direction of the base and configured to tear the base and the film; and
at least one protrusion located on a surface of a part of the base at which the separation strip is not bonded, the protrusion protruding in a direction normal to the base in which the separation strip is protruded,
the base is attached to the film defining the one of inner surfaces of the bag body separately from the separation strip or with the separation strip having been integrated with the base,
the bag further comprises a tab formed by cutting the tape and the film attached with the base without cutting the film facing the film attached with the base at a non-bonded region at which the tape is not bonded to the film facing portion defined at a part of the film facing the film attached with the base and facing the tape, and
at a partition seal partially surrounding the non-bonded region, the film facing the film attached with the base is bonded to the surface of the protrusions opposite the surface attached with the base.
