Abstract

A packaging bag has a bottom member folded in half along a folding line and sandwiched between two body members. Body seal portions with surfaces of the body members joined along left and right circumferential edge portions of the packaging bag are formed on a side above the folding line. A bottom seal portion with an inner surface of the bottom member joined to the inner surfaces of the body members is formed on a side below the folding line. An unsealed portion surrounded by the body seal portions and the bottom seal portion accommodates a content. Resin layers of the body members and the bottom member are formed of a polyethylene-based resin film. Boundary portions between the bottom seal portion and the unsealed portion have a convex shape toward the upper side of the packaging bag near a part in contact with the body seal portions.

Claims (22)

1 . A packaging bag comprising in which

a bottom member folded in half along a folding line and sandwiched between a pair of body members,

body seal portions formed by joining inner surfaces of the pair of body members to each other along left and right circumferential edge portions of the packaging bag, the body seal portions formed on a side above the folding line,

a bottom seal portion formed by joining an inner surface of the bottom member to the inner surfaces of the pair of body members, the bottom seal portion formed on a side below the folding line, and

an unsealed portion surrounded by the body seal portions and the bottom seal portion, the unsealed portion configured to accommodate a content,

wherein the pair of body members and the bottom member are formed using a film made of only a polyethylene-based resin,

wherein the bottom seal portion comprises a boundary portion with respect to the unsealed portion,

wherein the bottom seal portion further comprises a central portion, side end portions having parts in contact with the body seal portions, and inflection portions between respective side end portions and the central portion, and

wherein the boundary portion has a convex shape toward an upper side of the packaging bag near the parts in contact with the body seal portions,

wherein an intersection is defined between the body seal portions and the bottom seal portion as a part where the folding line of the bottom member is sandwiched between the pair of the body members,

wherein a tangential extension line of each of the inflection portions intersects a respective one of the body seal portions on a respective one of the left and right circumferential edge portions above the folding line,

wherein an intersecting point between the tangential extension line and the respective one of the body seal portions is located away from the intersection toward the upper side of the packaging bag by at least 5 mm,

wherein a height in a vertical direction of the packaging bag is 100 mm to 500 mm,

wherein a width in a horizontal direction of the packaging bag is 70 mm to 300 mm, and

wherein a filling capacity of the packaging bag is 100 cm 3 to 5,000 cm 3 .

2 . The packaging bag according to claim 1 ,

wherein the film is a lamination film having a sealant layer laminated on an inner surface of the film, and a base material layer laminated on an outward side of the sealant layer in a thickness direction of the film, and

wherein the sealant layer is formed of an un-stretched polyethylene-based resin, and the base material layer is formed of a stretched polyethylene-based resin.

3 . The packaging bag according to claim 1 ,

wherein the boundary portion of the bottom seal portion with respect to the unsealed portion has a convex shape toward the lower side of the packaging bag in a central portion of the packaging bag in the horizontal direction.

4 . The packaging bag according to claim 1 ,

wherein in the bottom member, outer surfaces of the bottom member are joined to each other in the left and right circumferential edge portions of the packaging bag.
