  As an example of the integrated packaging body 10 and the handle 3 of the integrated packaging body 10 according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, a plurality (five) of individual packaging bodies 1 in which products are individually packaged are stacked. An integrated package 10 formed by shrink-wrapping the outer peripheral portion of the integrated package 10 in a sleeve shape with the shrink film 2 (heat-shrinkable film 2). The handle 3 is welded to the left and right side surfaces of the integrated package 10 by heat welding H (heat seal H).

  In particular, the handle 3 is formed so as to cover the upper surface portion of the individual package 1 located at the uppermost stage of the integrated package 10, and the handle 3 described later is folded into a substantially N-shape. Thus, at the time of use, the handle 3 of the integrated package 10 can be easily formed by expanding the handle 3. Thus, by folding the handle 3 into a substantially N shape, the handle 3 can be folded compactly before use, and the handle 3 can be easily formed during use. It is.

  Further, the handle 3 is formed with a notch 4 having a curved shape, and the integrated package 10 is firmly attached by placing a fingertip on the notch 4 or inserting a fingertip into the notch 4, which will be described later. In addition, it can be held stably.

Hereinafter, an example of an individual package (individual package 1) according to the integrated package 10 of the present invention will be described.
An example of the individual package 1 is a normal temperature distribution or refrigerated food (packed cooked rice) for a microwave oven, and a consumer can easily prepare food by heating the individual package 1 using a microwave oven or the like. It is possible to cook. As shown in FIG. 2 (a), such an individual package 1 accommodates a food 30 formed in advance in a substantially identical shape as the tray 20 in the tray 20, and stores the barcode b and product information. As shown in FIG. 2B, the individual package 1 is formed by heat-sealing the printed top surface film 40 along the upper edge of the tray 20.

  Usually, there is a tendency to purchase a plurality of such individual packaging bodies 1 for distribution at normal temperature or refrigerated foods. For this reason, shrink packaging is applied in a state where a plurality of individual packaging bodies 1 are stacked, and three pieces are provided. Often sold in the form of packs or packs of five. However, in many cases, a plurality of individual packaging bodies 1 are sold in a state of being simply wrapped in shrink packaging, and there is a problem that it is difficult to carry the integrated packaging body 10.

  For this reason, in order to make the integrated packaging body 10 having a size that can be held by hand, almost all of the products are stacked to form an integrated packaging body. For reasons of portability, it was difficult to further integrate a plurality of products (individual package 1).

  The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and a plurality of grips 3 made of a strip-like film are previously heat-bonded to the integrated packaging body 10 together with the shrink film 2 to obtain a plurality of pieces. It is possible to provide an integrated package 10 that is easy to carry even if it is a large and heavy integrated package 10 formed by stacking individual packages 1.

Next, an example of the integrated package 10 and the handle 3 of the integrated package 10 according to the present invention will be described.
As shown in FIG. 3, the handle 3 formed on the integrated packaging body 10 has the shrink film on both ends of the handle 3 on which product information and a dedicated barcode B of the integrated packaging body are printed in advance. 2 is heat-sealed by heat seal H.

  In particular, the handle 3 is heat-sealed to the shrink film 2 by heat sealing in a state in which the handle 3 is folded in advance into a substantially N shape 5. A jig having a dome-shaped curved portion is sandwiched between the hand 3 and the shrink film 2, and the both ends of the handle 3 are shrunk in a state where the handle 3 is overlapped with slack to one side. The shrink film 2 and the handle 3 can be integrally formed by welding to the film 2 by heat sealing.

  The plurality of individual wrapping bodies 1 are covered with the shrink film 2 so that the handle portion 3 is positioned on the upper surface of the uppermost individual wrapping body 1 among the plurality of individual wrapping bodies 1, and a heating hood (not shown) As shown in FIG. 4, the integrated package 10 of the present invention can be formed by applying the shrink wrapping.

  In particular, the handle 3 formed in the integrated package 10 is folded into a substantially N shape 5, and the bar code portion b of the uppermost individual package 1 is covered by the handle 3. . Therefore, at the time of purchase of the product (stacked packaging body 10), the handle portion 3 folded into the substantially N-shaped shape 5 is picked up and lifted, as shown in FIG. It is possible to form the hand part 3.

  Furthermore, it is possible to carry the integrated package 10 composed of a plurality of individual packages 1 firmly and stably by putting a fingertip on the cut 4 formed in the handle 3. In addition, in the cash register, the dedicated barcode B formed on the handle 3 can be reliably read, and it is possible to prevent the barcode b of the individual package 1 from being erroneously read.

  As described above, the integrated packaging body 10 and the handle 3 of the integrated packaging body 10 of the present invention have a simple configuration in which both end portions of the handle 3 are thermally welded to the shrink film 2 for shrink packaging. In use, the handle 3 can be expanded to easily form the handle portion 3 of the integrated package 10. Then, it is possible to carry the integrated packaging body 10 formed by packaging a plurality of individual packaging bodies 1 using the handle 3 firmly and stably.

  In addition, at least both end portions of the handle 3 are heat-sealed and welded to the integrated packaging body 10 except for one surface of the integrated packaging body 10 where the handle 3 is to be formed. It is possible to form a handle 3 composed of 3 and carry the integrated package 10 firmly and stably. Furthermore, the shrink film 2 is folded in a substantially N-shape 5 when the handle 3 is folded. Therefore, the handle 3 can be folded in a compact manner, and the handle 3 can be easily folded by expanding the handle 3 folded into a substantially N shape 5 during use. 3 can be formed.

  Further, since the bar code B display is formed on the handle 3, the dedicated bar code B of the integrated packaging body 10 can be provided at a conspicuous position. It is possible to cover the barcode b portion formed on the individual package 1 and to prevent the barcode b of the individual package 1 from being erroneously read.

  Further, since the notch 4 is formed in the handle 3 of the integrated package 10, it is possible to hold the integrated package 10 firmly and stably by placing a fingertip on the cut portion 4. In addition, the notches 4 are formed at the opposite positions of the handle 3, thereby forming through holes made of the opposite notches 4 at the opposite positions of the handle 3. Can be inserted into the through-hole to hold the integrated package 10 firmly and stably.

  The integrated packaging body 10 and the integrated packaging body handle 3 according to the present invention are not limited to the above example, and for example, the integrated packaging body 10 and the holding hand 3 are formed assuming a can beverage 1 or the like as the individual packaging body 1. May be.

  As an example in this case, as shown in FIG. 6, a side surface on which a barcode (not shown) of the individual package 1 is formed in a state where a plurality (6) of individual packages 1 are arranged in two horizontal rows. The handle 3 formed on the shrink film 2 is arranged at a position covering the portion, and the entire individual package 1 is wrapped with the shrink film 2 to perform shrink wrapping.

  In particular, the can beverage 1 has a heavy individual weight, and the integrated package 10 in which a plurality of can beverages 1 are packaged together is heavier. For this reason, in the integrated packaging body 10 of the present invention, the handle 3 is heat-sealed H to the shrink film 2 and integrally heat-sealed to prevent the handle 3 from being easily detached, The hand 3 can be integrally and firmly formed on the shrink film 2.

  Furthermore, even if the stacking package 10 is heavy, as shown in FIG. 7, it is possible to carry the stacking package 10 by holding the wide handle 3 or inserting an arm or the like. It is possible to stably carry the heavy accumulated package 10 without damaging the hands and fingertips.

  In addition, the individual packaging body 1 for can beverages such as beer is usually a large cardboard case after forming the integrated packaging body 10 by applying paper packaging in a state where six individual packaging bodies 1 are arranged in two horizontal rows. In many cases, four sets of integrated packaging bodies 10 are accommodated and distributed to D.

  In this case, when the integrated package 10 accommodated in the cardboard case D is used, it is necessary to take out the individual integrated package 10 after opening the side surface portion of the cardboard case D. As shown in FIG. 8, it is possible to have the handle portion 3 formed on the side surface portion of the integrated packaging body 10 and easily pull out the individual integrated packaging body 10 from the cardboard case D.

  As described above, the integrated packaging body 10 and the handle 3 of the integrated packaging body 10 according to the present invention have a simple configuration in which both end portions of the handle 3 are thermally welded to the shrink film 2 for shrink packaging. It is possible to expand the handle 3 and easily form the handle portion 3 of the integrated package 10. Then, it is possible to carry the integrated packaging body 10 formed by packaging a plurality of individual packaging bodies 1 using the handle 3 firmly and stably.

  The handle 3 is not limited to the above example. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, the handle 3 has an annular shape that is longer than the outer peripheral length of the integrated packaging body 10 (the outer peripheral length of the integrated packaging body 10 at the handle 3 portion). The handle 3 may be provided, and the handle 3 may be heat-welded integrally with the shrink film by applying a heat seal H at a plurality of places on the side surface portion of the integrated packaging body 10 or the bottom surface portion (not shown).

  The handle 3 is an annular handle 3 that is longer than the outer peripheral length of the integrated package 10, and at least both end portions of the handle 3 are the integrated package 10 at locations where the handle 3 is to be formed. The integrated package 10 formed by integrally forming a plurality of individual packages 1 by heat-sealing and welding to the integrated package 10 except for one surface, or the heavy integrated package 10. However, the handle 3 can be more firmly attached to the shrink film 2 without the handle 3 being detached from the shrink film 2.

  In any case, it is indispensable that the handle 3 is welded by applying a heat seal H to the surface of the integrated packaging body 10 other than the portion that becomes the handle 3, and at least both ends excluding the portion that becomes the handle 3. It is desirable to apply heat seal H to the part.

  In this way, by forming the handle 3 by slacking it onto the shrink film 2, there is an effect that fingers are easily applied when carrying the integrated package 10. In addition, it is possible to stably secure a gap that requires a finger even if the heat treatment conditions vary in manufacturing.

  The integrated package 10 of the present invention can print on both the shrink film 2 and the handle 3, and can form the integrated package 10 having high design properties. On the other hand, it is possible to make the integrated packaging of the integrated packaging body 10 more effectively by making the shrink film 2 transparent and printing only the handle 3. Further, by printing on the handle 3, it is possible to hide the barcode b of the individual package 1 and reliably identify the dedicated barcode B of the stacked package 10, thereby preventing erroneous operation. is there.

  The packaging form of the integrated packaging body by the shrink film is not limited to the above-described form (sleeve-shaped packaging) in which the plurality of individual packaging bodies are wrapped in a cylindrical shape to form the integrated packaging body. A form in which a plurality of individual packages are wrapped with a shrink film, such as a form in which the plurality of individual packages are entirely wrapped to form the integrated package (such as pillow packaging or gusset packaging), is particularly limited. The optimum packaging form may be used as appropriate.

  As the shrink film 2 and the film of the handle 3, a single layer film or a laminated film mainly including a plastic film is used as the shrink film, and the handle film is a laminated film or an unstretched single film. A layer film can be appropriately used.

  As an example of the laminated film, a biaxially stretched heat-shrinkable linear saturated polyethylene film or the like may be used, and in order to have a gap for the fingers to enter the handle 3, unstretched polyolefin film, paper, synthetic paper, A normal packaging film such as a polyethylene terephthalate film may be used. In this case, it is more desirable to laminate a polyolefin film of the same material on the front side or to provide a coating layer of the same material so that the handle 3 is thermally welded. The handle 3 is preferably an unstretched polyolefin film having a thickness of 20 to 150 μm in order to give the strength enough to suspend the integrated package, and moreover, when considering cold resistance strength, It is still desirable to use a 50-80 μm unstretched polyethylene film.

Further, a tear opening (easy-opening means) that has been subjected to perforation processing, laser processing, or the like may be formed in the integrated packaging body 10, and heat openings, laser processing, print instruction lines (color-coded), etc. are provided at the openings. May be applied.
It is desirable that the film of the handle 3 or the shrink film 2 is printed with an integrated packaging display. When the integrated packaging display is applied to the shrink film 2, the printing side is set so that ink is fixed to the shrink film. The back surface preferably has a treatment layer such as a corona treatment, and the handle 3 may be plain or may be a monochromatic film to show the handle 3. When the handle 3 is plain or monochromatic, the handle 3 may be provided with one or two color ruled lines or filled so that the position of the handle 3 can be easily identified.

  As an example of the individual wrapping body 1 constituting the integrated wrapping body 10 of the present invention, not only a normal temperature distribution food, a refrigerated food or a frozen food, but also a can beverage or a pack juice, a tissue paper box, a bottle-shaped beverage, If the packaging body 1 is capable of forming an integrated packaging body 10 in which a plurality of individual packaging bodies 1 are integrated, such as bottle-shaped shampoo, rinse, instant coffee, and instant noodles, the shape and type of the individual packaging body 1 Is not limited.
