Abstract
A laminated film includes an outer-layer-film, a water-soluble film, and an intermediate layer interposed between the outer-layer-film and the water-soluble film. The intermediate layer contains high-pressure polyethylene oxidized to a prescribed degree on a surface thereof contiguous to the water-soluble film. The outer-layer-film and the intermediate layer adhere fast to each other. The intermediate layer and the water-soluble film directly contact each other and adhere so weakly to each other as to be peelable.
Claims7
A bag comprising a laminated film,
- wherein -said laminated film comprises:
- an outer-layer-film including at least one layer;
- a water-soluble film;
- and
- an intermediate layer between said outer-layer-film and said water-soluble film;
- wherein:
- said outer-layer-film and said intermediate layer are adhered to each other;
- said intermediate layer and said water-soluble film directly contact each other and adhere sufficiently weakly to each other as to be peelable;
- said laminated film is formed in the shape of a tube lined with said water-soluble film, and a first strip portion of said laminated film and a second strip portion of said laminated film are superposed on each other so that corresponding portions of said water-soluble film of said first and second strip portions (i) face each other and (ii) are fused to each other by heat-sealing;
- said tube includes a first heat-sealed portion and parts of said water-soluble film facing each other at the first heat-sealed portion are fused to each other to form a region that accommodates a commodity in said tube, said region is occluded relative to an upper edge of said tube, thereby said laminated film is formed in the shape of a bag in which said region is open at a lower edge of said tube;
- a second heat-sealed portion partially defines a non-heat-sealed portion having a hermetically sealed periphery in an outside area in said tube, said outside area is positioned between said first heat-sealed portion and said upper edge of said tube;
- said non-heat-sealed portion is formed either (i) on one side of a boundary line between said tube and a third heat-sealed portion comprising said first and second strip portions so as to be contiguous to said boundary line, or (ii) on both sides of said boundary line astride said boundary line;
- perforations are formed in said outside area for excising a part of said outside area in said tube and a part of an area of said third heat-sealed portion;
- one end of said boundary line that remains after said excising reaches said perforations;
- and
- a part of a peripheral edge of said non-heat-sealed portion in said outside area in said tube that remains after said excising coincides with said perforations.

A packaging comprising:
- a hermetically sealed bag made of one laminated film;
- and
- a commodity in said bag;
- wherein said laminated film comprises:
- an outer-layer-film including at least one layer;
- a water-soluble film;
- and
- an intermediate layer between said outer-layer-film and said water-soluble film;
- wherein:
- said outer-layer-film and said intermediate layer are adhered to each other;
- said intermediate layer and said water-soluble film directly contact each other and adhere sufficiently weakly to each other as to be peelable;
- said laminated film is formed in the shape of a tube lined with said water-soluble film, and a first strip portion of said laminated film and a second strip portion of said laminated film are superposed on each other so that corresponding portions of said water-soluble film of said first and second strip portions (i) face each other and (ii) are fused to each other by heat-sealing;
- said tube includes a first heat-sealed portion and parts of said water-soluble film facing each other at the first heat-sealed portion are fused to each other to form a region that accommodates a commodity in said tube and is occluded relative to the side of an upper edge of said tube, thereby said laminated film is formed in the shape of a bag in which said region is open at a lower edge of said tube;
- a second heat-sealed portion partially defines a non-heat-sealed portion having a hermetically sealed periphery in an outside area in said tube, said outside area is positioned between said first heat-sealed portion and said upper edge of said tube;
- said non-heat-sealed portion is formed either (i) on one side of a boundary line between said tube and a third heat-sealed portion comprising said first and second strip portions so as to be contiguous to said boundary line, or (ii) on both sides of said boundary line astride said boundary line;
- perforations are formed in said outside area for excising a part of said outside area in said tube and a part of an area of said third heat-sealed portion;
- one end of said boundary line that remains after said excising reaches said perforations;
- and
- a part of a peripheral edge of said non-heat-sealed portion in said outside area in said tube that remains after said excising coincides with said perforations.
