Abstract

A sealing film with a hidden tab includes a bottom layer and a top layer. The bottom layer includes a heat sealing layer, an aluminum foil layer, and a polypropylene layer. The top layer includes a nylon layer and a polyethylene terephthalate layer, and is defined with a connection portion and a tab portion. The nylon layer in the connection portion is adhered to the polypropylene layer by an adhesive. At least a contact is disposed between the nylon layer in the tab portion and the polypropylene layer. Due to physical properties of the material of which the nylon layer in the tab portion is made, the sealing film is likely to sever but easy to peel off. The contact not only prevents the tab portion of the top layer from warping but also enables a user to determine whether the sealing film has ever been used before.

Claims (8)

1. A sealing film with a hidden tab, comprising:

a bottom layer comprising a heat sealing layer, an aluminum foil layer, and a polypropylene layer (PP layer) arranged from bottom to top and bound by an adhesive; and

a top layer attached to the bottom layer and comprising a nylon layer and a polyethylene terephthalate layer (PET layer) from bottom to top, the nylon layer being adhered to the PET layer by an adhesive, the top layer being defined with a connection portion and a tab portion,

wherein the nylon layer in the connection portion of the top layer is adhered to the PP layer of the bottom layer by an adhesive, and at least a contact is disposed between the nylon layer in the tab portion of the top layer and the PP layer of the bottom layer;

wherein the contact enables an adhesive to removably fix the nylon layer in the tab portion of the top layer to the PP layer of the bottom layer.

2. The sealing film of claim 1 , wherein an adhesion-related area of the connection portion accounts for a half of an area of the bottom layer.

3. The sealing film of claim 1 , wherein the contact is positioned on a line of symmetry of the tab portion.

4. The sealing film of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive is made of polyurethane (PU).
