and said adhesive layer having said non-adhesive part is formed from said rafter part to the opening so as to facilitate peeling of the outer layer of said front surface, whereby said contents out from the opening part by peeling said outer layer from said rafter part to said opening part and the opening is re-sealed by re-adhering said outer layer to said inner layer up to said rafter part. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The packaging body according to claim 3, wherein said rafter part is formed near the one end part of packaging body ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) A method to open and re-seal the packaging body according to claim 4 comprising: peeling the outer layer from the rafter part toward the opening; exposing the opening part to take the contents out/in, folding the peeled portion such that the exposed inner layer is facing each other across the folding line; and re-adhering the outer layer over the folded portion. ### Claim 6 (depends on 2) The packaging body according to claim 2, comprising: a top seal comprises the film made of resin (a resin-made film); and a container, the peripheral part of which is joined in a sealable manner with the end part of the inner layer of the resin-made film, wherein the opening part for taking the said contents out is provided at a part of the inner layer of the resin-made film, and the adhesive layer comprises the non-adhesive part is formed from the end part toward the center of the container, the contents can be taken out from the opening part by peeling the outer layer from the peripheral part up to the opening part, and the re-sealing can be carried out by re-adhering the outer layer to the inner layer up to the peripheral part. ### Claim 7 (depends on 2) A method to open and re-seal the packaging body according to claim 2 comprising: peeling the outer layer from the non-adhesive part; exposing the opening part to take the contents out/in, and re-sealing the opening by re-adhering the outer layer onto the inner layer. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The packaging body according to claim 1, further comprising a rafter part formed by superposing the inner layers of said resin-made film onto each other, said rafter is formed on the front surface of said packaging body, wherein the opening part for taking said contents out is provided at a part of the inner layer of the front surface; and said adhesive layer having said non-adhesive part is formed from said rafter part to the opening so as to facilitate peeling of the outer layer of said front surface, whereby said contents is taken out from the opening part by peeling said outer layer from said rafter part to said opening part and the opening is re-sealed by re-adhering said outer layer to said inner layer up to said rafter part. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The packaging body according to claim 8, wherein said rafter part is formed near the one end part of packaging body. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) A method to open and re-seal the packaging body according to claim 9 comprising: peeling the outer layer from the rafter part toward the opening; exposing the opening part to take the contents out/in, folding the peeled portion such that the exposed inner layer is facing each other across the folding line; and re-adhering the outer layer over the folded portion. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The packaging body according to claim 1, comprising: a top seal comprises the film made of resin (a resin-made film); and a container, the peripheral part of which is joined in a sealable manner with the end part of the inner layer of the resin-made film, wherein the opening part for taking the contents out is provided at a part of the inner layer of the resin-made film, and the adhesive layer comprises the non-adhesive part is formed from the end part toward the center of the container, whereby the contents can be taken out from the opening part by peeling the outer layer from the said peripheral part up to the opening part, and the re-sealing can be carried out by re-adhering the outer layer to the inner layer up to the peripheral part. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) A method to open and re-seal the packaging body according to claim 1 comprising: peeling the outer layer from the non-adhesive part;

a second adhesive part comprising a second pattern of adhesive, wherein said second pattern comprises a different ratio of adhesive covering to non-adhesive covering and/or a different orientation of adhesive strength than said first adhesive part, such that the first adhesive part and the second adhesive part form areas of different adhesive strengths within said resealing part; and a non-adhesive part where adhesive is not applied between said first and second adhesive parts wherein the first pattern and the second pattern do not overlap with each other when the outer layer is re-sealed. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The resin-made film for a packaging body according to claim 13, wherein, on said non-adhesive part, a pattern is formed which is obtained by applying an adhesive discontinuously in a straight line form or in a curved line form on the resin-made film. ### Claim 15 (depends on 13) The resin-made film for a packaging body according to claim 13, wherein, on said non-adhesive part, a pattern is formed which is obtained by applying an adhesive continuously in a spline form on the resin-made film. ### Claim 16 (depends on 13) The resin-made film for a packaging body according to claim 13, wherein, on said non-adhesive part, a pattern is formed which is obtained by applying an adhesive in a lattice form on the resin-made film in such a manner that one can arbitrarily set the inter-lattice distance or the thickness of the lattice.
