PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a packaging material for a processed rice food, facilitating cutting an outer sheet in the packaging material including the outer sheet.SOLUTION: A packaging material 1 for a processed rice food, including a splittable outer sheet 3 in the other direction orthogonal to one direction is such that: the outer sheet 3 includes a linear notch part 3f formed in a recessed shape, and a separation piece 3j separated from the other region and when forming a processed rice food package 10, the notch part 3f is arranged on a position overlapping on a processed rice food. Furthermore, the packaging material 1 for a processed rice food is such that: a covering sheet 4 covering the notch part 3f from the outside of the processed rice food package 10 is provided the covering sheet 4 has a covering sheet body part 4a arranged in a position overlapping on the processed rice food and covering the notch part, and a covering sheet separation part 4c having a state of being separated from the outer sheet 3 in a position not overlapping on the processed rice food the covering sheet body part 4a is connected to the separation piece 3j and the covering sheet separation part 4c is positioned at the other end side in one direction from the notch part 3f in the outer sheet 3.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4COPYRIGHT: (C)2018,JPO&INPIT【課題】外シートを備える包装材で該外シートの切断を容易に行い得る米飯加工食品用包装材の提供。【解決手段】一方向に対して直交する他方向に分割可能な外シート3を備え、外シート3は、凹状に形成された線状の切込部3fと、他の領域から分離する分離片3jとを備え、米飯加工食品包装体10を形成する際に、米飯加工食品と重なる位置に切込部3fが配置される米飯加工食品用包装材1。米飯加工食品包装体10の外側から切込部3fを覆う被覆シート4を備え、被覆シート4は、米飯加工食品と重なる位置に配置されて切込部4を覆う被覆シート本体部4aと、米飯加工食品に重ならない位置で外シート3から離間した状態になる被覆シート離間部4cとを備え、被覆シート本体部4aは、分離片3jに連結され、被覆シート離間部4cは、外シート3における切込部3fより前記一方向の他端部側に位置する米飯加工食品用包装材1。【選択図】図4
