Claims (11)

  1. A sheet material used as the lid of a packaging box that houses multiple contents arranged in a box body, comprising a top wall panel that can be superimposed on the opening top surface of the box body of the packaging box, and a side wall panel that can be superimposed on the side surface of the box body, The top wall panel has a minimum unit compartment corresponding to each object housed in the box body. Each of the aforementioned minimum unit compartments is provided with a compartment through which the compartment to be accommodated can be inserted. It includes at least one of the minimum unit sections and comprises a cuttable area that can be cut out from the top wall panel, A sheet material characterized by having an information display section on the upper surface of the top wall panel in the cuttable area.
  2. The sheet material according to claim 1, wherein the top wall panel is provided with multiple cuttable areas.
  3. The sheet material according to claim 1, wherein each of the minimum unit sections in the top wall panel is formed as the cuttable area.
  4. The sheet material according to claim 1, wherein the above-mentioned cuttable area includes multiple of the above-mentioned minimum unit sections.
  5. The sheet material according to claim 1, wherein the portion of the side wall panel that becomes the bottom side of the packaging box when superimposed on the side of the box body has an adhesive portion that allows the side wall panel to be attached to the side of the box body.
  6. The portion of the side wall panel that becomes the bottom side of the packaging box when it is superimposed on the side of the box body has an adhesive portion that allows the side wall panel to be attached to the side of the box body. The sheet material according to claim 1, wherein a separation means is provided in the portion of the packaging box that is on the top side with respect to the adhesive portion, for separating the side wall panel into the bottom side of the packaging box and the top side of the packaging box.
  7. A packaging box characterized by containing multiple containers arranged in a box body with an open top, and comprising a sheet material according to any one of claims 1 to 6 attached to cover the open top surface, wherein the container insertion portion of the sheet material is positioned above the containers.
  8. The packaging box according to claim 7, wherein the adhesive portion of the side wall panel in the sheet material is adhered to the side surface of the box body.
  9. The packaging box according to claim 7, wherein a handle is provided on the side of the box body.
  10. The packaging box according to claim 9, wherein the side wall panel of the sheet material is provided with a notch for exposing a handle to the outside.
  11. The box body comprises a bottom wall plate, a front wall plate and a rear wall plate that are bent upward in a continuous manner with two opposing sides of the bottom wall plate, inner side wall flaps that are connected to two sides of the front wall plate and two sides of the rear wall plate and bent in a direction along the opposing direction of the front wall plate and the rear wall plate, and outer side wall flaps that are bent upward in a continuous manner with another pair of opposing sides of the bottom wall plate and are adhered to the inner side wall flaps of the front wall plate and the inner side wall flaps of the rear wall plate. The packaging box according to claim 8, wherein the end of the side wall panel of the sheet material on the bottom side of the box body is positioned to cover the upper end of the outer side wall flap of the box body, or to be aligned with the upper end of the outer side wall flap.

Description

This invention relates to a sheet material and a packaging box in which the sheet material is used as a lid to accommodate bottle-type products such as beverage containers, and to cover the opening at the top of the box body. Beverage containers transported from beverage manufacturers to retailers are placed in cardboard packaging boxes capable of holding multiple containers (e.g., 24 bottles). (Hereafter, bottle-type products that are placed in packaging boxes during transport, such as the beverage containers mentioned above, will also be referred to as "contained items.") Thus, from the time beverage manufacturers ship their products from their factories until they are displayed in retail stores, the bottled beverages are distributed and stored in their original packaging. In recent years, for products packaged in cardboard boxes, particularly those using PET bottles, there has been a growing trend towards label-less packaging, eliminating the outer label film (shrink film printed with product name, product information, and decorative information). The purpose of label-free product packaging is as follows: When conventional PET bottle products are emptied and disposed of, the outer label film and the bottle itself are separated. However, disposing of the label film as waste is more troublesome than disposing of the bottle itself, thus aligning with waste reduction efforts for environmental protection. Therefore, as mentioned above, bottle-type products using PET bottles are increasingly being distributed without the use of label film. The outer label film wrapped around the body of a typical bottle-type product contains various printed information, including product information, manufacturer information, and decorative elements such as logos and embellishments. By the way, for bottle-type products, the above information can also be displayed using a neck label. For example, as shown in Patent Documents 1, 2, and 3, a neck-hanging label can be used in which the display information is provided on a small label and a ring portion is provided for passing through the neck of a bottle-type product, or a neck-hanging label can be used in which a slit is made in a small label with the display information so that the neck of a bottle-type product can be passed through. Then, a neck label is attached to each individual bottle-type product before it leaves the factory. This allows for packaging and shipping, or, when products are removed from packaging at convenience stores and other retail outlets, store employees can attach the labels to each individual bottle, allowing for easy verification of the label information. Furthermore, as shown in Patent Document 4, sets of four or six items are bundled together with a paper strip (paper pack), and these bundled sets are then placed in a packaging box. In such cases, it is possible to include display information such as product information, producer information, logo, and decorative information on the paper band, allowing each individual container to be label-free.
