Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings
Hereinafter, as an absorbent article of the present invention, an embodiment will be described by taking a sanitary napkin as an example. The absorbent article may be an absorbent article that is wrapped in a wrapping material and is used while being fixed to the clothing of the user, or may be an absorbent article such as a panty liner or an absorbent pad (light incontinence pad).
< basic Structure of sanitary napkin 1 >)
Fig. 1 is a plan view of a sanitary napkin 1 (hereinafter referred to as "sanitary napkin") viewed from the skin side. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the sanitary napkin 1 viewed from the non-skin side. Fig. 3 is a schematic sectional view of the sanitary napkin 1.
The sanitary napkin 1 has a longitudinal direction, a width direction and a thickness direction which are orthogonal to each other. In the longitudinal direction of the sanitary napkin 1, the side that abuts against the lower abdomen of the user is referred to as "front side", and the side that abuts against the buttocks of the user is referred to as "rear side". In the thickness direction of the sanitary napkin 1, the side that contacts the skin of the wearer is referred to as the "skin side", and the opposite side is referred to as the "non-skin side". The sanitary napkin 1 has a pair of wing portions 1w extending from the central portion in the longitudinal direction to both outer sides in the width direction.
The sanitary napkin 1 has a front sheet 2, an intermediate sheet 3, an absorbent body 10, a back sheet 4, flaps 5, and side sheets 6 in the central portion in the width direction. The topsheet 2, the intermediate sheet 3, the absorbent body 10, and the backsheet 4 are stacked in this order from the skin side in the thickness direction, and the side sheet 6 is disposed from the end in the width direction of the skin side surface of the topsheet 2 to the end in the width direction of the non-skin side surface of the absorbent body 10. That is, the side sheets 6 are arranged to sandwich the respective members 2, 3, 10 in the thickness direction. The topsheet 2, the intermediate sheet 3, the absorbent body 10, the backsheet 4, the flaps 5, and the side sheet 6 are joined and fixed to each other by an adhesive (not shown) such as a hot melt adhesive.
The top sheet 2 is a liquid-permeable sheet member, and can be exemplified by a cotton sheet. The sheet member is not limited to one composed of 100% cotton, and may be a mixed sheet of cotton and a hot air non-woven fabric. The top sheet 2 is a portion that comes into direct contact with the skin of the wearer during wearing. Therefore, by using cotton as a natural fiber for the top sheet 2, irritation to the skin of the wearer can be reduced, and the possibility of causing itching, swelling, and the like of the skin of the wearer can be reduced. Further, the surface sheet 2 is a cotton sheet, which gives a soft visual impression. However, the surface sheet 2 may not be a cotton sheet.
The intermediate sheet 3 is a liquid-permeable sheet member, and examples thereof include a through-air nonwoven fabric and a spunbond nonwoven fabric. The flap 5 and the side sheet 6 are each a hydrophobic sheet member, and examples thereof include a hot air nonwoven fabric and a spunbond nonwoven fabric. The back sheet 4 is a liquid-impermeable sheet member, and a Polyethylene (PE) resin film or the like can be exemplified. The back sheet 4 has a planar dimension larger than that of the absorbent body 10 and covers the entire planar surface of the absorbent body 10. The sanitary napkin 1 may not have the intermediate sheet 3.
The wing section 1w is formed by portions of both the flaps 5 and the backsheet 4 extending outward from both side portions in the width direction of the topsheet 2 and the like at a position on the non-skin side of the absorbent body 10.
The absorbent body 10 is a member for absorbing excrement and holding it therein. As shown in fig. 3, the absorbent body 10 has an absorbent core 11 and a cover sheet 12 covering the absorbent core 11. The absorbent core 11 is formed by adding a super absorbent polymer (so-called SAP) as a liquid absorbent particulate material to pulp fibers, cellulose absorbent fibers, and the like as liquid absorbent fibers, and molding the mixture into a predetermined shape. The cover sheet 12 is a liquid-permeable sheet, and can be exemplified by tissue paper or the like.
The sanitary napkin 1 has a central bonded portion 8 (a bonded portion for preventing displacement) formed by applying an adhesive or the like to the non-skin side surface (that is, the non-skin side surface of the backsheet 4). In fig. 2, 11 rectangular central bonded portions 8 having long sides in the longitudinal direction are arranged at intervals in the width direction in the central bonded portion 8, but the shape, number, and arrangement of the central bonded portions 8 are not limited thereto. The sanitary napkin 1 is fixed to underwear or the like by attaching the central adhesive portion 8 to the skin-side surface of the underwear or the like when the sanitary napkin 1 is used.
Similarly, each wing section 1w has a wing adhesive section 9 (an adhesive section for preventing migration) formed by applying an adhesive or the like to the non-skin side surface (the non-skin side surface of the base sheet 4). In fig. 2, 4 rectangular flap adhesive portions 9 having long sides in the longitudinal direction are arranged at intervals in the width direction, but the shape, number, and arrangement of the flap adhesive portions 9 are not limited thereto. When the sanitary napkin 1 is used, the flap portions 1w are bent toward the non-skin side, and the flap adhesive portions 9 are adhered to the non-skin side surface of underwear or the like. Thereby, the wing section 1w is fixed to underwear or the like. However, the sanitary napkin 1 may be one without the wing portions 1w and the wing adhesive portions 9.
The sanitary napkin 1 further has linear compressed concave portions 20 depressed in the thickness direction. The linear compressed concave portion 20 is formed by a plurality of dot-shaped compressed concave portions 21 arranged linearly at intervals, and has a substantially annular shape that is long in the longitudinal direction as a whole. The dot-shaped compressed concave portions 21 are compressed in the thickness direction from the skin-side surface side of the top sheet 2 to the top sheet 2, the intermediate sheet 3, and the absorbent body 10 (partially or entirely), and the respective members 2, 3, and 10 are joined and integrated.
However, the linear compressed concave portions 20 are not limited to the above, and may compress only the absorbent body 10, only the top sheet 2 and the intermediate sheet 3 positioned closer to the skin than the absorbent body 10, the absorbent body 10 from the back sheet 4 side, or the like. The linear compression recess 20 may be a continuous groove-like recess.
In addition, at the linear compressed concave portions 20 (dot-shaped compressed concave portions 21), the thickness of the sanitary napkin 1 becomes thinner than the surrounding area, and the fiber density of the sanitary napkin 1 becomes high. The comparison may be performed by a known method. Examples of a method for comparing the thickness of the sanitary napkin 1 include: a method of comparison by visual observation; using a dial type thickness gauge ID-C1012C manufactured by Sanfeng corporation or an equivalent instrument, the target site was obtained and compared at, for example, 3.0gf/cm2And a method of measuring the obtained value by applying pressure. As a method for comparing the density of the sanitary napkin 1, a method based on an enlarged image of a cross section obtained by cutting the sanitary napkin 1 in the thickness direction by an electron microscope or the like can be exemplified.

Fig. 4 is a view showing the outer side surface of the wrapping material 30. That is, a view is shown of a surface seen from the outside of an absorbent article package 40 (described later) in which the sanitary napkin 1 is wrapped with the wrapping material 30.
The packaging material 30 is a rectangular, sheet-like member having a longitudinal direction and a width direction. Examples of the wrapping material 30 include a resin film, a nonwoven fabric, paper, and a composite material of these materials by lamination.
In the absorbent article package 40, the wrapping material 30 is folded such that one end 30a of the wrapping material 30 in the longitudinal direction is positioned outside the other end 30 b. That is, one end (end extending in the width direction) in the longitudinal direction of the packaging material 30 is an open end 30 a. A fixing tape 31 for fixing the opening end 30a of the wrapping material 30 is provided at one end of the wrapping material 30 in the longitudinal direction. The fixing tape 31 is fixed to the outer surface of the packaging material 30 with an adhesive or the like so that a part thereof protrudes outward in the longitudinal direction of the packaging material 30. Further, the fixing tape 31 may not be provided to the wrapping material 30.

Fig. 5A is a view showing an opening surface 40A of the absorbent article package 40, and fig. 5B is a view showing a side surface 40B opposite to the opening surface of the absorbent article package 40. Fig. 6 is a view showing the absorbent article package 40 unfolded at the 1 st fold portion F1. Fig. 7 is a view showing the absorbent article package 40 unfolded at the 2 nd fold portion F2 from the state of fig. 6.
The absorbent article package 40 is formed by individually packaging the sanitary napkin 1 with the packaging material 30. In the absorbent article package 40, as shown in fig. 7, the sanitary napkin 1 is disposed on the inner surface of the packaging material 30 so that the skin-side surface thereof faces upward. The longitudinal direction of the packaging material 30 is along the longitudinal direction of the sanitary napkin 1, and the width direction of the packaging material 30 is along the width direction of the sanitary napkin 1. The opening end 30a side of the packaging material 30 corresponds to the front side of the sanitary napkin 1.
In the absorbent article package 40 of the present embodiment, the wrapping material 30 is folded together with the sanitary napkin 1 at two folding portions F1, F2 extending in the width direction so that the skin-side surface of the sanitary napkin 1 is the inside. For the sake of explanation, the folded portion on the most one side in the longitudinal direction (the opening end 30a side) is referred to as a1 st folded portion F1, and the folded portion on the other side in the longitudinal direction than the 1 st folded portion F1 is referred to as a2 nd folded portion F2.
The number of the folded portions is not limited to two, and may be one, or three or more. In addition, the wrapping material 30 may be folded not only at the folded portion extending in the width direction but also at the folded portion extending in the longitudinal direction. Alternatively, the packaging material 30 and the sanitary napkin 1 may be folded independently of each other. That is, the packaging material 30 may be folded so as to wrap the folded sanitary napkin 1.
In the absorbent article package 40, as shown in fig. 5A and 5B, both side end portions in the width direction of the wrapping material 30 are joined to form a pair of joined portions 41. Examples of the joining method at the joining portion 41 include known joining methods such as heat sealing, ultrasonic sealing, adhesives, and combinations thereof.
When the user grips the fastening tape 31 and unfolds the fold at the 1 st fold portion F1, the state of fig. 6 is obtained. When the 2 nd fold portion F2 is further folded and unfolded, the state of fig. 7 is obtained. The sanitary napkin 1 is disposed on the inner surface of the packaging material 30 in a state where the flap portion 1w is folded back inward in the width direction. The flap adhesive portion 9 is provided with a release sheet 42. The release sheet 42 may be separable from the wrapping material 30 and may be peeled off by the user in the unfolded state of fig. 7, or may be bonded to the wrapping material 30 and peeled off when the absorbent article package 40 is unfolded (not shown). Further, a release sheet (not shown) is provided on the inner surface of the packaging material 30 at a portion facing the central bonded portion 8 of the sanitary napkin 1, and the sanitary napkin 1 is disposed on the inner surface of the packaging material 30 via the release sheet.
The pattern of the absorbent article package 40 is not limited to the specific pattern
FIG. 8 is a table showing the evaluation results of examples 1 to 3 and comparative examples 1 to 3. Fig. 9 is an explanatory view of the width of the main metal pattern 51.
Absorbent articles such as sanitary napkins 1 are generally made of nonwoven fabric, resin film, or the like, and the glossiness of the absorbent articles is low. Further, since the user has the absorbent article as a sanitary product, the absorbent article and the absorbent article package in which the absorbent article is packaged have an impression that the glossiness is low.
Therefore, as shown in fig. 5A and 5B, the absorbent article package 40 of the present embodiment is provided with the main metal patterns 51 and 52 (glittering patterns) having high glossiness. The main metal patterns 51 and 52 are provided so as to be visually recognizable from the outside of the absorbent article package 40.
As shown in fig. 2, the portions of the sanitary napkin 1 having a high gloss are the bonded part arrangement regions a1, a2 in which the anti-migration bonded parts (the central bonded part 8 and the flap bonded part 9) are arranged. Therefore, the highest glossiness of the main metal patterns 51 and 52 is equal to or higher than the lowest glossiness of the adhesive portion arrangement regions a1 and a 2. The glossiness of the main metal patterns 51 and 52 is the glossiness of the outer surface of the absorbent article package 40, and the glossiness of the adhesive portion arrangement regions a1 to A3 is the glossiness of the non-skin side surface of the sanitary napkin 1.
As described above, by providing the main metal patterns 51 and 52 having the glossiness equal to or higher than the glossiness of the portions (a1 and a2) having the high glossiness in the sanitary napkin 1 in the absorbent article package 40, the absorbent article package 40 of the present embodiment has an appearance which is not like an absorbent article package. Therefore, it is difficult to know the appearance that the content is the sanitary napkin 1, and the user can carry the absorbent article package 40 easily.
In addition, since the sanitary napkin 1 is worn directly on the body, a user desires a commercial product having a high-grade feeling. For example, in the sanitary napkin 1 of the present embodiment, the surface sheet 2 is a cotton sheet, so that the sanitary napkin 1 can have a good tactile sensation. As described above, the sanitary napkin 1 can be improved in the sense of quality by using natural and safe materials or by improving the tactile sensation of the sanitary napkin 1.
In this case, the main metal patterns 51 and 52 are provided in the absorbent article package 40, so that the user can recognize that the sanitary napkin 1 containing the contents is a high-quality product. As a result, the user can use the sanitary napkin 1 with ease.
Further, by providing the main metal patterns 51, 52 on the absorbent article package 40, the absorbent article package 40 is easily conspicuous even in a dark place. Therefore, the absorbent article package 40 can be immediately taken out from the bag or pouch, or the absorbent article package 40 stored in the toilet can be immediately found out.
In addition, the main metal patterns 51, 52 of the present embodiment are printed with metal ink having metal particles. This can improve the glossiness of the main metal patterns 51, 52, and can make the main metal patterns 51, 52 glittering.
The metal ink is specifically an ink containing metal particles (aluminum particles, copper particles, etc.) having a particle diameter of about 1 to 150 μm. The printed surfaces of the main metal patterns 51 and 52 can be observed under an electron microscope with magnification, and the inclusion of metal particles can be confirmed.
The main metal patterns 51 and 52 of the present embodiment are provided on the outer surface of the packaging material 30. Therefore, the glossiness of the main metal patterns 51, 52 on the outer surface of the absorbent article package 40 can be improved as compared with the case where the main metal patterns 51, 52 are provided in other places (the inner surface of the packaging material 30, the back sheet 4 of the sanitary napkin 1, the release sheet between the packaging material 30 and the sanitary napkin 1, and the like) and the main metal patterns 51, 52 are visually confirmed through the packaging material 30.
In the present embodiment, the main metal patterns 51 and 52 (patterns) are cotton patterns as a material of the sanitary napkin 1, but the shape, size, color, and the like of the patterns are not particularly limited. Further, all the patterns of the packaging material 30 may be patterns with high glossiness (patterns formed by metallic ink), or some of the patterns of the packaging material 30 may be patterns with low glossiness.
As shown in fig. 2, the bond placement region a1 is a region surrounded by one end a1 and the other end a2 in the width direction of the front end in the longitudinal direction of the center bond 8 and one end a3 and the other end a4 in the width direction of the rear end in the longitudinal direction. In addition, when the napkin 1 has the flap portions 1w, the napkin 1 also has a bonded portion region a2 surrounded by the one end b1 and the other end b2 in the width direction of the front end in the longitudinal direction of the flap bonded portion 9 and the one end b3 and the other end b4 in the width direction of the rear end in the longitudinal direction.
The comparison (measurement) of the glossiness of the main metal patterns 51 and 52 and the adhesive portion arrangement regions a1 and a2 may be performed by a known method. For example, the specular gloss at a measurement angle of 60 ° can be measured using MN gloss meter (ITECH corporation) and compared. The gloss at other portions described below can be measured in the same manner.
Specifically, first, the glossmeter was calibrated using a calibration standard plate (black plate having a refractive index of 1.567).
Next, the sample was placed flat on the calibration standard plate in such a manner that no wrinkles were generated. The measurement of the main metal patterns 51, 52 is performed such that the outer side of the absorbent article package 40 faces upward. Further, it is preferable to measure in the form of the absorbent article package 40 as shown in fig. 5A and 5B (that is, in the state where the sanitary napkin 1 is wrapped in the wrapping material 30 and folded). The measurement of the pressure-sensitive adhesive section arrangement regions a1 and a2 is performed such that the non-skin side of the sanitary napkin 1 faces upward. Further, it is preferable to perform the measurement in a state where the sanitary napkin 1 is unfolded as shown in fig. 2.
Next, a gloss meter was placed over the sample, the sample was irradiated with a light source having an incident angle of 60 °, and the reflected light reflected from the sample was received with a photodetector at a light receiving angle of 60 °. The intensity of the reflected light at this time (measurement result of the gloss meter) was recorded as the gloss (Gs) of the sample. The measurement is performed a plurality of times (for example, N is 10) for the same measurement site, and the maximum value (or the average value or the minimum value) is defined as the glossiness of the measurement site.
In addition, the glossiness (measurement result) differs depending on the measurement site of the sample. In the case of the metal patterns 51 and 52, the larger the portion subjected to metal printing (portion coated with the metal ink), the higher the glossiness. Therefore, a site having a large area of metal printing (filled area) in the main metal patterns 51 and 52, for example, a position B1 in fig. 5A and a position B2 in fig. 5B, is selected as a measurement site, and a plurality of such measurement sites are selected. In addition, a site with a large area of metal printing is measured as a measurement center. Then, the maximum value among the respective glossiness levels of the selected plurality of measurement portions is set as "the highest glossiness level of the main metal pattern". However, if the main metal patterns 51 and 52 are small or the area of the metal print is small, when the ratio of the metal print is less than 60% in the angle of view of the gloss meter, the main metal patterns 51 and 52 are cut and pasted from the packaging material 30, and the metal print is concentrated. Then, the ratio of the metal-printed portion within the angle of view of the gloss meter was measured to be 60% or more.
Similarly, in the case of the adhesive portion arrangement regions a1 and a2, the larger the portion to which the adhesive is applied, the higher the glossiness. Therefore, a site having a large application interval of the adhesive in the adhesive section arrangement regions a1 and a2 is selected as a measurement site, and a plurality of such measurement sites are selected (in fig. 2, since the adhesive is applied at the same interval, a plurality of appropriate sites are selected). Then, the minimum value among the respective glossiness levels of the selected plurality of measurement portions is set as "the lowest glossiness level of the adhesive portion arrangement region". However, when the ratio of the applied portion of the adhesive is less than 60% in the angle of view of the gloss meter, the applied portion of the adhesive is cut from the sanitary napkin 1, and the applied portion of the adhesive is concentrated. Then, the ratio of the coated portion of the adhesive in the angle of view of the gloss meter was measured to be 60% or more.
Further, as shown in the table of fig. 8, absorbent article packages 40 of examples 1 to 3 and comparative examples 1 to 3 were prepared, and the pattern of the packaging material 30 and the glossiness of the top sheet 2 and the back sheet 4 of the sanitary napkin 1 were actually measured. In addition, the impression (high-class feeling and naturalness) of the sanitary napkin 1 was also evaluated.
As for the glossiness of the topsheet 2 of the sanitary napkin 1, as shown in fig. 1, the areas (areas surrounded by points c1, c2, c3, and c 4) where the topsheet 2 is exposed on the skin-side surface of the sanitary napkin 1 toward the skin-side surface are measured. The glossiness of the back sheet 4 of the sanitary napkin 1 was measured in the regions other than the adhesive portion disposition regions a1 and a2 on the non-skin side surface of the sanitary napkin 1.
The gloss measurement method is the same as the aforementioned method.
The maximum value (highest gloss) among the gloss values at the plurality of measurement portions is recorded in the table of fig. 8 for the pattern of the packaging material 30.
The surface sheet 2 was placed on the sanitary napkin 1 with the skin side facing upward, and the glossiness of a plurality of portions of the surface sheet 2 was measured. The minimum value (lowest glossiness) among the glossiness at the plurality of measurement portions is recorded in the table of fig. 8.
The sheet 4 was placed on the sanitary napkin 1 with the non-skin side facing upward, and the gloss of a plurality of portions of the sheet 4 (regions not coated with adhesive) was measured. The minimum value (lowest glossiness) among the glossiness at the plurality of measurement portions is recorded in the table of fig. 8.
In the evaluation method of the high-grade feeling, the examiner (30 women) actually observed and evaluated the patterns of the absorbent article packages 40 of examples 1 to 3 and comparative examples 1 to 3, and the patterns of the absorbent article packages 40 were evaluated as "○" when the sanitary napkin 1 having the content was an impression of a high-grade product and an impression of high quality, as "△" when it could not be said that there was no such impression, as "x" when the sanitary napkin 1 was not an impression of a high-grade product and an impression of high quality, and evaluated on the 3 grades, and the evaluation selected by 60% or more of the examiner was recorded in the table of fig. 8.
In the evaluation method of natural impression, the examinees (30 women) actually observed and evaluated the sanitary napkins 1 of examples 1 to 3 and comparative examples 1 to 3, and with respect to the sanitary napkin 1, the evaluation was made to "○" when an impression of not being scientific but being natural and having a clean feeling was generated, to "△" when no such impression was generated, to "x" when no impression of natural and having a clean feeling was generated, and the evaluation was made on the 3 ranks, and the evaluation selected by the examinees of 60% or more was recorded in the table of fig. 8.
The absorbent article package 40 of example 1 had a pattern printed with "yellow" metallic ink that could be visually confirmed from the outside. The surface sheet 2 of the sanitary napkin 1 of example 1 was a spunbond nonwoven fabric composed of sheath-core conjugate fibers having a fineness of 2.3dtex and PP (polypropylene)/PP.
The absorbent article package 40 of example 2 had a pattern printed with "pink" metallic ink that could be visually confirmed from the outside. The top sheet 2 of the sanitary napkin 1 of example 2 was a hot-air nonwoven fabric composed of sheath-core conjugate fibers having a fineness of 3.6dtex and PE (polyethylene)/PP.
The absorbent article package 40 of example 3 had a pattern printed with "silver" metallic ink that could be visually confirmed from the outside. The top sheet 2 of the sanitary napkin 1 of example 3 was a spunlace nonwoven fabric containing 100% cotton.
The absorbent article package 40 of comparative example 1 was a "yellow" pattern printed with ink containing no metal particles, which was visually confirmed from the outside. The top sheet 2 of the sanitary napkin 1 of comparative example 1 was a spunlace nonwoven fabric containing 100% cotton.
The absorbent article package 40 of comparative example 2 was a "pink" pattern printed with ink containing no metal particles, which was visually confirmed from the outside. The surface sheet 2 of the sanitary napkin 1 of comparative example 2 was a hot-air nonwoven fabric composed of sheath-core conjugate fibers having a fineness of 3.6dtex and PE/PP.
The absorbent article package 40 of comparative example 3 had a pattern printed with "yellow" metallic ink that could be visually confirmed from the outside. The surface sheet 2 of the sanitary napkin 1 of comparative example 3 was a hot-air nonwoven fabric composed of sheath-core conjugate fibers having a fineness of 1.8dtex and PE/PP.
The base sheet 4 of examples 1 to 3 and comparative examples 1 to 3 was a white PE (polyethylene) resin film and was a film having different gloss.
As is clear from the results in fig. 8, when the glossiness (highest glossiness) of the pattern of the absorbent article package 40 is "8" or more, the user is likely to have an impression that the sanitary napkin 1 is a high-quality product and has a high quality. Thus, the glossiness of the pattern of the absorbent article package 40 is preferably 8 or more.
In addition, although not shown in the table of fig. 8, the lowest glossiness of the bonding portion arrangement regions a1 and a2 was measured in the bonding portion arrangement regions a1 and a2 shown in fig. 2, and was "6". In this respect, it can be said that the sanitary napkin 1, which gives the user the impression of a high-quality product as the contents, can be provided by setting the glossiness of the pattern of the absorbent article package 40 to be equal to or higher than the glossiness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive portion arrangement regions a1 and a 2.
Further, as is clear from the results of fig. 8, in comparative example 3 in which the minimum glossiness of the top sheet 2 and the back sheet 4 is larger than 4, it is difficult to give a natural impression and an impression of clean feeling to the sanitary napkin 1. It was also found that even when the absorbent article package 40 had a pattern with a high glossiness as in examples 1 to 3, if the glossiness of the sanitary napkin 1 was low, the sanitary napkin 1 was likely to have a natural impression and a clean impression.
Therefore, it is preferable that at least one of the lowest glossiness of the region of the top sheet 2 exposed on the skin-side surface of the sanitary napkin 1 (the region surrounded by c1, c2, c3, and c4 in fig. 1) and the lowest glossiness of the region other than the adhesive portion placement regions a1 and a2 on the non-skin-side surface of the sanitary napkin 1 is 4 or less.
More preferably, the glossiness of the entire region of the top sheet 2 exposed on the skin-side surface of the sanitary napkin 1 (i.e., the highest glossiness) and the glossiness of the entire region of the non-skin-side surface of the sanitary napkin 1 excluding the adhesive portion arrangement regions a1 and a2 (i.e., the highest glossiness) are set to 4 or less.
By doing so, the brightness of the appearance of the sanitary napkin 1 can be suppressed, and the sanitary napkin 1 has a natural impression like a sanitary product or an impression having a clean feeling (cool feeling). In particular, by visually confirming the sanitary napkin 1 as compared with the main metal patterns 51 and 52, the user can more easily receive a natural impression and an impression of a clean feeling with respect to the sanitary napkin 1. This allows the user to use the sanitary napkin 1 with ease. In addition, the difference in glossiness between the main metal patterns 51 and 52 of the absorbent article package 40 and the sanitary napkin 1 becomes large. Therefore, the high-quality feeling due to the high glossiness of the main metal patterns 51, 52 and the clean feeling due to the low glossiness of the sanitary napkin 1 are both prominent. Thereby, the user is more easily aware of the high-quality feeling and the clean feeling of the sanitary napkin 1.
Further, as is clear from the results of fig. 8, when a sheet of cotton fibers was used for the surface sheet 2 as in example 3, the glossiness of the surface sheet 2 was lowered. Therefore, the top sheet 2 preferably contains 50 mass% or more of cotton fibers with respect to the entire mass of the top sheet 2.
By doing so, the glossiness of the top sheet 2 can be reduced, and the sanitary napkin 1 has a natural impression like a sanitary product and an impression of a clean feeling. This allows the user to use the sanitary napkin 1 with ease. As described above, by using cotton as the natural fiber for the top sheet 2, irritation to the skin of the wearer can be reduced, and the possibility of causing itching, redness, and the like of the skin of the wearer can be reduced.
The proportion of the cotton fibers in the top sheet 2 may be confirmed by a known method. For example, the measurement can be carried out by applying the fiber mixing ratio test of JIS L1032-2. For example, in the case of the surface sheet 2 composed of cotton fibers and synthetic fibers, the proportion of the cotton fibers can be confirmed by a dissolution method in which the cotton fibers are dissolved using sulfuric acid at a concentration of 70%. In addition, confirmation may be performed by microscopy.
Preferably, the area of the non-skin side surface of the sanitary napkin 1 is white in more than half its area, and the wrapper 30 is also white. By so doing, it is difficult to visually confirm the sanitary napkin 1 from the outside of the absorbent article package 40 through the wrapping material 30. Therefore, the main metal patterns 51 and 52 can be prevented from giving a poor impression that the appearance of the absorbent article package 40 is not so poor.
White is not limited to pure white (e.g., L of Lab color space is 100, a is 0, and b is 0), but includes whitish colors (e.g., L is 70 or more, a is 5 or less, and b is 5 or less). The color of each member can be obtained from a color measurement result (Lab value) using a color meter.
As shown in fig. 2, a pattern 55 printed in a color other than white may be provided on the non-skin side surface of the sanitary napkin 1. In this case, as a method of confirming the area ratio of the white region, for example, a method of confirming by visual observation or a method of calculating the arrangement area and the non-arrangement area of the pattern 55 using an area calculation program and confirming the same can be exemplified. However, the color of the non-skin side surface of the sanitary napkin 1 and the color of the wrapping material 30 may be other than white.
Further, it is preferable that the main metal patterns 51 and 52 (pattern 1 and pattern 2) having the highest glossiness equal to or higher than the lowest glossiness of the adhesive portion disposition regions a1 and a2 are provided on the opening surface 40A (surface 2) of the absorbent article package 40, that is, the surface of the packaging material 30 on which the opening end 30A and the fastening tape 31 are provided, and the side surface 40B (surface 1) opposite to the opening surface of the absorbent article package 40.
By doing so, the user can easily see the main metal designs 51, 52 twice. Therefore, the main metal designs 51, 52 are likely to remain in the impression of the user by the inscription effect. Thereby, the user can easily recognize the high-class feeling of the sanitary napkin 1 which is recalled by the main metal patterns 51, 52.
The areas of the two main metal patterns 51 and 52 are preferably larger than the area of the anchor belt 31. By doing so, the two main metal designs 51, 52 are conspicuous and easily noticeable by the user and easily remain in the user's impression. Thereby, the user can easily recognize the high-class feeling of the sanitary napkin 1 which is recalled by the main metal patterns 51, 52.
However, the present invention is not limited to the above, and the main metal patterns 51 and 52 may be provided only on one of the opening surface 40A and the opposite side surface 40B of the opening surface of the absorbent article package 40. Further, at least one of the main metal pattern 52 of the opening surface 40A and the main metal pattern 51 of the opening surface opposite side surface 40B may be smaller than the fixing tape 31.
As shown in fig. 6, the absorbent article package 40 preferably has an internal metal pattern 53 (internal pattern) that can be visually confirmed in a state where the opening end 30a is unfolded, and the highest glossiness of the internal metal pattern 53 is preferably equal to or higher than the lowest glossiness of the adhesive portion arrangement regions a1, a 2. That is, the internal metal pattern 53 is also preferably a pattern printed with a metal ink.
By doing so, the user can visually confirm the patterns 51 to 53 having high glossiness both before and after the expansion of the absorbent article package 40. Therefore, the main metal patterns 51, 52 and the inner metal patterns 53 are liable to remain in the impression of the user by the inscription effect. Thus, the user can easily recognize the high-quality feeling of the sanitary napkin 1 which is reminiscent of the main metal patterns 51, 52 and the inner metal pattern 53.
In particular, as shown in fig. 6, the inner metal pattern 53 is preferably provided at a position a3 of the wrapping material 30 to which the fixing tape 31 is fixed. In this case, the user visually confirms the internal metal pattern 53 when peeling off the fastening tape 31. Thus, the inner metal patterns 53 are easily noticed by the user and easily remain in the user's impression.
Further, it is preferable that the area of the main metal pattern 52 (fig. 5A) of the opening surface 40A of the absorbent article package 40 is smaller than the area of the main metal pattern 51 (fig. 5B) of the side surface 40B opposite to the opening surface, and the area of the inner metal pattern 53 (fig. 6) is smaller than the area of the main metal pattern 52 of the opening cover 40A.
The order of visually recognized patterns when the user opens the absorbent article package 40 is the main metal pattern 51 of the side surface 40B opposite to the opening surface, the main metal pattern 52 of the opening cover 40A, and the inner metal pattern 53. Therefore, by setting the area relationship as described above, the areas of the metal patterns 51 to 53 visually recognized by the user can be gradually reduced, and the consciousness of the user is easily shifted from the metal patterns 51 to 53 to the sanitary napkin 1. Therefore, the feeling of cleanliness reminiscent of the low glossiness of the sanitary napkin 1 is likely to remain in the impression of the user.
However, the present invention is not limited to the above, and the packaging material 30 may not have the internal metal pattern 53. The area relationship of the metal patterns 51 to 53 is not limited to the above.
The comparison of the areas of the metal patterns 51 to 53 and the anchor tape 31 may be performed by a known method. For example, the comparison may be performed by visual inspection. As shown in fig. 4, the areas of rectangular regions R1 to R3 surrounded by lines extending in the longitudinal direction passing through both ends in the width direction of the metal patterns 51 to 53 and lines extending in the width direction passing through both ends in the longitudinal direction of the metal patterns 51 to 53 may be calculated and compared. Further, the area along the contour of the metal patterns 51 to 53 may be calculated by an area calculation program and compared.
As shown in fig. 9, the width w1 of the main metal patterns 51 and 52 in the width direction is preferably equal to or less than the width w2 (w1 ≦ w2) of the sanitary napkin 1 in a state of being wrapped in the wrapping material 30 (i.e., in a folded state).
By doing so, the main metal patterns 51, 52 can be arranged on the flat portions of the sanitary napkin 1 inside the wrapper 30, and the visibility of the main metal patterns 51, 52 is improved. In addition, when the main color of the sanitary napkin 1 (back sheet 4) is white, the density of white becomes high in the portion of the absorbent article package 40 where the sanitary napkin 1 is disposed. Therefore, the recognizability of the main metal patterns 51, 52 is further improved. Thus, the main metal patterns 51, 52 are likely to be left in the impression of the user, and the user is likely to recognize the high-quality feeling of the sanitary napkin 1 which is reminiscent of the main metal patterns 51, 52.
As shown in fig. 4, the absorbent article package 40 (the wrapping material 30) may have background patterns 54a and 54b visually recognizable from the outside thereof. The background patterns 54a, 54b are patterns in which a plurality of relatively small patterns are regularly or irregularly arranged. Preferably, the highest glossiness of the background patterns 54a and 54b is also equal to or higher than the lowest glossiness of the adhesive portion arrangement regions a1 and a 2. That is, the background patterns 54a and 54b are also preferably metal patterns printed with metal ink.
By doing so, the user visually recognizes more metal patterns 51, 52, 54a, 54b from the outside of the absorbent article package 40. Therefore, the metal patterns 51, 52, 54a, and 54b are likely to remain in the impression of the user, and the user is likely to recognize the high-quality feeling of the sanitary napkin 1 which is thought by the metal patterns 51, 52, 54a, and 54 b.
Further, as shown in fig. 9, it is preferable that a background pattern 54a is disposed between the joint portion 41 of the absorbent article package 40 and the sanitary napkin 1 in the width direction. At least a part of the background patterns 54a, 54 may be arranged between the joint portion 41 and the sanitary napkin 1.
The sanitary napkin 1 in the folded state has a thickness. Therefore, in the absorbent article package 40, an inclined portion is formed between the joint portion 41 and the sanitary napkin 1. By providing the background patterns 54a and 54b on the inclined portion, the main metal patterns 51 and 52 produce a three-dimensional effect. This makes it easier for the user who visually recognizes the main metal patterns 51 and 52 to give the impression that the sanitary napkin 1 is a high-quality product.
However, the present invention is not limited to the above. For example, the width of the main metal patterns 51, 52 may be larger than the width of the sanitary napkin 1. The absorbent article package 40 may not have the background patterns 54a and 54 b.
The package 60 of the absorbent article package 40 is not limited to the specific one
Fig. 10A is a perspective view of the package 60 of the absorbent article package 40. Fig. 10B and 10C are explanatory views of the main metal patterns 51A, 51B of the absorbent article packages 40A, 40B included in the package 60.
The package 60 (bag member) contains a plurality of absorbent article packages 40. The package 60 shown in fig. 10A has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, and the absorbent article package 40 can be taken out from the package 60 by opening the lid member 60A of the package 60. The shape of the package 60 shown in fig. 10A is an example, and is not limited to this.
Further, it is preferable that the package 60 includes a plurality of absorbent article packages 40 having the aforementioned main metal patterns 51, 52, and a plurality of types of absorbent article packages 40 having different highest glossiness of the main metal patterns 51, 52 are included.
In order to make the main metallic patterns 51, 52 different in maximum glossiness, for example, even patterns of the same shape may be made different in color. For example, as shown in fig. 10B, the main metal pattern 51A of one absorbent article package 40A may be printed with yellow metal ink, and as shown in fig. 10C, the main metal pattern 51B of the other absorbent article package 40B may be printed with metal ink of a color different from yellow (for example, pink or silver). Even when printing is performed using metallic inks of the same color, the highest glossiness can be made different by changing the shape of the pattern (the filling area of the metallic ink).
As described above, by containing a plurality of types of absorbent article packages 40 in the package 60, the user is more likely to have an impression of a high-quality product than when the absorbent article packages in the package are all the same in design and color, for example. Further, the user can use the absorbent article package 40 without bothering, and the fun of selecting which absorbent article package 40 to use is increased. Therefore, the mood of depression in the physiological period can be reduced.
As shown in fig. 10A, a pattern 61 (for example, a pattern indicating a crown) or a character 62 (for example, "high-quality feeling") that allows the user to remember a high-quality feeling may be provided in the package 60.
By doing so, it is seen that the user of the package 60 is easily aware of the case where the sanitary napkins 1 in the package 60 are commodities having a high-grade feeling. In addition, the impression of the high-class feeling of the sanitary napkin 1 is given to the subconscious of the user who sees the pattern 61 and the letter 62 of the package 60. Therefore, when the absorbent article package 40 is used, the user who sees the main metal patterns 51, 52 is again aware of the impression of the high-quality feeling of the sanitary napkin 1 and is likely to remain in the impression of the user. Therefore, the user can use the sanitary napkin 1 with ease.
Further, it is preferable that the pattern 61 and the character 62 for giving a high-grade feeling are printed with metallic ink. By doing so, the user who sees the glittering design 61 and the letter 62 is more likely to recognize that the sanitary napkin 1 is a good product having a high-grade feeling.
While the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the above embodiments are provided to facilitate understanding of the present invention, and the present invention is not to be interpreted in a limiting manner. It goes without saying that the present invention can be modified and improved without departing from the gist thereof, and the present invention includes equivalents thereof.
