Pressure-sensitive adhesive tape package

Abstract

A pressure-sensitive adhesive tape package is described in which while easiness in applying the adhesive tape is pursued, an effect of saving in resources can be obtained. The pressure-sensitive adhesive tape package accommodates an adhesive tape having a support and an adhesive agent layer provided on one surface of the support, and includes a release sheet releasably attached to the adhesive agent layer. Moreover, in the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape package, the release sheet is bent along a predetermined bending line with the adhesive tape, and the adhesive tape is sealed inside of the bent release sheet.

         16 . A pressure-sensitive adhesive tape package accommodating an adhesive tape having a support and an adhesive agent layer provided on one surface of the support, the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape package comprising a release sheet releasably attached to the adhesive agent layer, wherein
 the release sheet is bent into a first portion and a second portion along a predetermined first bending line,   the adhesive tape is bent into a first portion and a second portion along a predetermined second bending line such that the adhesive agent layer faces outwardly,   the bent adhesive tape is sealed inside of the bent release sheet and   the bent adhesive tape is sealed inside of the bent release sheet in the state where the first bending line is adjacent to the second bending line.   
     
     
         17 . The pressure-sensitive adhesive tape package according to  claim 16 , wherein the first bending line is in contact with the second bending line. 
     
     
         18 . The pressure-sensitive adhesive tape package according to  claim 16 , wherein the first bending line is not in contact with the second bending line. 
     
     
         19 . The pressure-sensitive adhesive tape package according to  claim 16 , wherein
 the first portion of the release sheet is substantially in the same shape as that of the second portion of the release sheet,   the first portion and the second portion of the release sheet are superimposed, and   a portion surrounding the adhesive tape in which the first portion and the second portion of the release sheet are superimposed is sealed.   
     
     
         20 . The pressure-sensitive adhesive tape package according to  claim 19 , wherein at least one projecting point projecting outward is formed in an outer edge of a face-to-face joint portion joining the first portion of the release sheet to the second portion of the release sheet in a face-to-face relationship to seal therebetween. 
     
     
         21 . The pressure-sensitive adhesive tape package according to  claim 16 , wherein means for the reducing an adhesive force that reduces an adhesive force between the adhesive agent layer of the first portion of the adhesive tape and the release sheet is provided on at least a part of the release sheet. 
     
     
         22 . The pressure-sensitive adhesive tape package according to  claim 21 , wherein the means for reducing an adhesive force is a silicone-treated surface provided on at least a part of a portion of the release sheet that is attached to the adhesive agent layer of the first portion of the adhesive tape. 
     
     
         23 . The pressure-sensitive adhesive tape package according to  claim 21 , wherein the means for reducing an adhesive force is an embossed surface and/or sanded surface provided on at least a part of the portion of the release sheet that is attached to the adhesive agent layer of the first portion of the adhesive tape. 
     
     
         24 . The pressure-sensitive adhesive tape package according to  claim 16 , wherein the adhesive tape is used for a skin or a mucous membrane.
