Abstract

Packing includes a body section, a cover section, and a label. The body section has a first opening. The cover section closes the first opening. The label is adhered so as to span across the cover section and the body section. At least one of the body section and the cover section has a cut section. The cut section is located at a position where the label is adhered. The cut section of the packing is damaged when the label is removed. As a result, the label has a roughened surface in a situation in which the label is re-adhered. The roughened surface allows visual confirmation of an evidence of tampering with the packing. Thus, the packing is difficult to reseal, restricting tampering with the packing.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . Packing comprising:
a body section having a first opening; a cover section configured to close the first opening; and a label configured to be adhered so as to span across the cover section and the body section with the first opening closed by the cover section, wherein at least one of the body section and the cover section has a cut section, and the cut section is located at a position where the label is adhered.

2 . The packing according to claim 1 , wherein the cut section is covered by the label.

3 . The packing according to claim 1 , wherein the cut section is located in an edge section of the at least one of the body section and the cover section.

4 . The packing according to claim 1 , wherein the cut section has a first cut element and a second cut element located opposite to the first cut element.

5 . The packing according to claim 4 , wherein the first cut element has a first endways element extending from an edge of an edge section of the at least one of the body section and the cover section.

6 . The packing according to claim 4 , wherein
the second cut element has: a second sideways element elongated in parallel to an edge of an edge section of the at least one of the body section and the cover section; and a second endways element extending from the second sideways element toward the edge of the edge section of the at least one of the body section and the cover section.

7 . The packing according to claim 1 , further comprising
a packing opening section located in the cover section, wherein the packing opening section includes a pair of perforated lines and a cut-out section located between the pair of perforated lines, and the packing is opened by cutting out the cut-out section along the pair of perforated lines.
