Abstract
A packaging member (1, 80, 100) is provided with easy-opening means (7, 85, 107, 108) for allowing the packaging member to be opened easily, wherein the easy-opening means is either positionally or structurally improved. As one example, the packaging member is a packaging bag (1, 80), in which the easy-opening means serves as a tearing start point when opened with the use of the easy-opening means. The easy-opening portion is formed at a position slightly shifted inward from a perimeter edge of the packaging bag. As another example, the packaging member is a packaging container (100), in which the easy-opening means is structurally improved.

A packaging member in which an easy-tearing means for facilitating an opening operation toward the packaging member is provided, wherein the easy-tearing means is either positionally or structurally improved,
- said packaging member is a packaging container,
- a rectangular laminate film material providing a base of the packaging container being formed to have a box shape by mutually overlapping longitudinal both side edges thereof in a palm-to-palm manner to produce a cylindrical member, the overlapped palm-to-palm portions being joined to produce a palm-to-palm joined portion, the palm-to-palm joined portion being folded toward a remaining main part of the cylindrical member through a folding line set thereon, and a cylindrically shaped opening at each end of the cylindrical member being sealed,
- wherein the easy-tearing means has
- two cutting lines formed at intervals at an end edge of the palm-to-palm joined portion, and
- a further cutting line, of which cut depth is within a thickness of the laminate film material, formed at a position on the main part near the folding line so as to face the two cutting lines, both ends of the further cutting line being extended to the palm-to-palm joined portion beyond the folding line to connect or intersect to or with the two cutting portions.
