PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a packaging material for a processed rice food, in which a removing process of the packaging material for the processed rice food can be done with less force than conventionally.SOLUTION: A packaging material 1 for a processed rice food includes an outer sheet 3 divisible in another direction orthogonal to one direction and an inner sheet divisible in the same direction, in which, in a state where the outer sheet 3 and the inner sheet are overlapped sandwiching a sheet-like food product therebetween, the outer and inner sheets are sealed at a peripheral position of the sheet-like food product. The outer sheet 3 is provided with a slit part 3c, the slit part 3c including a first slitting line formed to be orthogonal to a virtual line extending in the one direction and a pair of second slitting lines 3f formed to be orthogonal the first slitting line and with an interval in the other direction. Both of end parts 3g of the first slitting line are formed to be positioned on one end part side of the outer sheet 3 in the one direction with respect to an area on a center side thereof and the pair of second slitting lines 3f is formed to extend to another end part side of the outer sheet 3 in the one direction from an intersection position with the first slitting line.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4COPYRIGHT: (C)2018,JPO&INPIT【課題】米飯加工食品から包装材を取り除く工程をより少ない力で行うことができる米飯加工食品用包装材の提供。【解決手段】一方向に直交する他方向に分割可能な外シート3と、同方向に分割可能な内シートとを備え、シート状食品を介して外シート3と内シートとが重ねた状態でシート状食品の周囲の位置で内外シートがシールされて形成された米飯加工食品用包装材1において、外シート3は、切込部3cを備えており、切込部3cは、一方向に延びる仮想線と交差するように形成された第一切込線と、第一切込線と交差すると共に他方向に間隔を空けて形成される一対の第二切込線3fとを備えており、第一切込線の両端部3gは、その中央側の領域よりも一方向における外シート3の一端部側に位置するように形成され、一対の第二切込線3fは、第一切込線との交差位置から一方向における外シート3の他端部側へ延びるように形成される米飯加工食品用包装材。【選択図】図4
