Abstract

In order to achieve both ease of removal and an increase in the rate of impregnation by a predetermined chemical, in this packaging structure of a package of wet wipes, a convex region is formed at a position containing a region that faces the opening of a main package body and that is on the upper surface of a stacked body of wet wipes. The convex region is formed protruding towards the main package body. A space is formed between the region (corresponding to the ends) aside from the convex region formed on the wet wipes and the upper surface to which the opening of the main package body is provided.

Claims (24)

1. A package structure, comprising

a package main body; and

stack of sheets impregnated with a predetermined chemical to form wet wipes, and arranged in a stacking direction inside the package main body,

wherein

the package main body has a surface provided with an opening portion configured for the sheets to be taken out

each of the sheets has a convex region facing the opening portion and protruding toward the surface provided with the opening portion

in an unopened state in which the opening portion is unopened, a space is formed between the surface provided with the opening portion of the package main body and a region other than the convex region of a topmost sheet,

each of the sheets is folded back along a first folding line, a second folding line, a third folding line and a fourth folding line,

in a widthwise direction of each of the folded sheets, the first folding line and the second folding line are located between the third folding line and the fourth folding line,

in each of the folded sheets,

a region between the first folding line and the second folding line in the widthwise direction has a four-layered structure in the stacking direction, and

other regions of the folded sheet have a two-layered structure in the stacking direction, and

for each pair of adjacent folded sheets among the folded sheets, the region between the first folding line and the second folding line in the widthwise direction in one of the adjacent folded sheets does not overlap the region between the first folding line and the second folding line in the widthwise direction in the other of the adjacent folded sheets in the stacking direction.

2. The package structure according to claim 1 , wherein

the folded sheets are stacked in a rectangular form in which each of the folded sheets has a long side and a short side; and

the convex region of each of the folded sheets extends along the long side or the short side.

3. The package structure according to claim 1 , wherein

the convex region is in contact with the surface of the package main body in a region other than the opening portion of the surface.

4. The package structure according to claim 1 , wherein

each of the folded sheets has

two outer end regions; and

the convex region between the two outer end regions in the widthwise direction, and

the convex region includes the four-layered structure, and the two outer end regions include the corresponding two-layered structure.

5. The package structure according to claim 4 , wherein, in each of the folded sheets, the convex region is closer to the opening than the two outer end regions in the stacking direction.
