Next, the design provided on the sealing member 40 is demonstrated. The sealing member 40 has a common design 50 as shown in FIG. 2A in the handle part 41 or its vicinity. The common design 50 is the same design provided at the same position in the sealing member 40 adhered to each of the plurality of absorbent article packages 10 . Such a common design 50 can impart a sense of unity to each absorbent article package 10, but when all the absorbent article packages 10 are configured to include only the same design, each absorbent article package 10 It is difficult to distinguish between As a result, when a plurality of absorbent article packages 10 are stored, there is a fear that the user cannot immediately identify which package 10 is the already opened package 10 .

On the other hand, in this embodiment, as shown to FIG. 2A, the sealing member 40 has the pattern 51 different from the common pattern 50. As shown in FIG. And the pattern 51 is arrange|positioned at different positions on each sealing member 40. As shown in FIG. By providing the common pattern 50 arranged at the same position and the pattern 51 arranged at a position different from the common pattern 50, the absorbent article package 10 can be individually identified.

Hereinafter, arrangement|positioning of the pattern 51 is demonstrated. Here, the sealing member 40A adhered to a certain absorbent article package 10 (referred to as the first absorbent article package 10A) and another absorbent article package 10 (the second absorbent article package 10B). ))) and the sealing member 40B is taken as an example. Fig. 5A is an explanatory diagram showing a design 51A of the sealing member 40A according to the first embodiment, and Fig. 5B is an explanatory diagram showing a design 51B of the sealing member 40B according to the first embodiment. Fig. 6 is a view showing a plurality of absorbent article packages 10A to 10E according to the first embodiment, stored in a drawer.

A design 51A in the sealing member 40A of the first absorbent article package 10A is provided in the upper left portion (first position) of the sealing member 40A as shown in Fig. 5A. On the other hand, the design 51B in the seal member 40B of the second absorbent article package body 10B is provided in the upper right portion (second position) of the seal member 40B as shown in Fig. 5B. Since the position of the pattern 51 is different for each absorbent article package 10, even when a plurality of absorbent article packages 10 are stored, the user can use the position of the pattern 51 as a mark to select the package ( It becomes easier to distinguish the package body 10 in use from among 10). In addition, not only during storage, but also when the user purchases the absorbent article packaging body 10 displayed as a product at a store or the like, the user can select the product according to his or her preference, thereby providing the enjoyment of purchase. The arrangement of the pattern 51 is not limited to the above-mentioned first position and second position, and may be a separate position different from the first position and the second position.

In addition, as shown in Figs. 2a, 5a and 5b, the design 51, the design 51A, and the design 51B are in the portion serving as the upper surface of the absorbent article package 10 (10A, 10B), respectively. is provided, and the common design 50 is provided on the portion serving as the front surface of each absorbent article package 10 . By providing each pattern 51 on a portion serving as the upper surface of each absorbent article package 10, a plurality of absorbent article packages 10A to 10E are arranged side by side so that the upper surfaces face the same direction as shown in FIG. Even when they are stored in an arrangement, the difference in the positions of the patterns 51A to 51E can be recognized by looking at the absorbent article packages 10A to 10E from the upper surface side. That is, by referring to the respective designs 51A to 51E, the absorbent article packages 10A to 10E can be easily distinguished, and the user can easily determine which absorbent article package 10 has been opened.

Further, on the front surface of the bag member 30, a body design 33 as shown in Fig. 2B is provided. As shown in FIG. 2A , the main body design 33 is a common design 50 when the absorbent article package 10 is unopened or when the user reseals the absorbent article package 10 using the sealing member 40 . ) together to form a single design. That is, when the user re-seals the opening 31 using the sealing member 40, the handle portion ( It is sufficient to position 41 ) with the bag member 30 . Thus, it is a criterion for the positioning of the seal.

In addition, when the opening 31 is resealed by the sealing member 40, it is possible to reseal the common design 50 and the main body design 33 so that they do not constitute a single design. 7 is an explanatory view showing an example of a state in which the sealing member 40 of the absorbent article package 10 according to the first embodiment is fixed to another position. For example, FIG. 7 shows that, when the number of napkins 20 accommodated in the absorbent article package 10 is reduced by about half, the sealing member 40 has a front side larger than the upper surface side of the absorbent article package body 10 . It shows the state of being resealed to cover a lot. In this way, the user can reseal the common design 50 and the main body design 33 at a position to form a single design. Also, the number of napkins 20 in the absorbent article package 10 is reduced. Accordingly, even when resealing becomes difficult at a position constituting a single design, resealing can be performed at a position desired by the user to further compress the bag member 30 . In addition, by resealing the common design 50 and the main body design 33 at positions that do not constitute one design, the user can create a difference in appearance from other absorbent article packages 10 . Accordingly, even when a plurality of absorbent article packages 10 are stored, the difference in appearance of the opened absorbent article packages 10 can be easily visually recognized.

The resealing position shown in FIG. 7 is only an example of a position where the common design 50 and the body design 33 do not constitute a single design, and the user must ensure that the handle portion 41 of the sealing member 40 is a bag member. It is not necessary to fix it so as to face the lower side of (30). For example, the handle portion 41 of the sealing member 40 may be fixed so as to shift left or right in the left-right direction of the bag member 30 . By intentionally shifting and fixing in this way, the shape of the upper part of the bag member 30 is different from the shape of other absorbent article packages 10, and the user can use this as a mark of the opened absorbent article package 10.

Further, as shown in Figs. 2A, 5A, and 5B, a boundary line X having a predetermined width is provided at the boundary between the common design 50 and the main body design 33 . Since the common design 50 and the body design 33 constitute one design, there is a possibility that it is difficult to recognize the boundary line between the handle portion 41 of the sealing member 40 and the bag member 30 if only the design is configured. have. In this case, by providing a boundary line X having a predetermined width at the boundary between the common design 50 and the body design 33, the boundary line X can be used as an eye mark upon opening. As a result, the user can easily recognize the handle part 41 visually, and it becomes easy for a user to open it.

Moreover, as shown to FIG.2A, FIG.5A, and FIG.5B, the edge part 42 is provided in the sealing member 40 along the outer edge of the surface. In addition, the boundary line X is a part of the edge part 42 . By the edge portion 42, the boundary between the bag member 30 and the sealing member 40 is made more conspicuous, so that the position of the sealing member 40 can be easily visually recognized, and the user can use the absorbent article. The package 10 can be easily opened.

Here, in the manufacturing step of the absorbent article assembly 1 of this embodiment, the method of manufacturing the absorbent article package 10 is demonstrated briefly.
