  In the case where a conventional rectangular label sheet is folded, when a large amount of information is written on a folded label on a limited sheet, the information is packed with small characters, which is difficult to read and tends to have no impact.

  On the other hand, in order to pack information without reducing the characters, the paper must be widened and the number of times of folding must be increased. Therefore, the label is deformed in the folded state, or the folds of the folded label swell thickly. As a result, there arises a problem that the folding label is easily lifted from the container to which the folding label is attached.

  On the other hand, the present invention provides a folding label that can display information in an easy-to-understand manner even when a large amount of information is written on the folding label and can reduce the floating of the label in the folded state. The purpose is to do.

  The present inventor consolidates the folded individual labels by assuming that the unfolded shape of the folded labels is such that labels with rounded corners are connected in multiple rows and multiple columns via folding lines and punched holes. It can stand out like separate panels, which makes it easier to understand the information, makes it easier for consumers to identify the information and understand the contents, and labels in a folded state It has been found that the lift of can be reduced.

  That is, the present invention relates to a folding label in which a plurality of layers of labels formed as a continuous body by folding and punching a single label sheet are removably bonded to the surface of a label mount having an adhesive layer on the back surface. The unfolded shape of the label continuum provides a folded label having a shape in which a label whose corners are rounded by a punched hole is connected in a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns via the punched hole and a broken line.

In addition, the present invention provides a method for producing the folded label, a step of folding a plurality of sheets in a direction that intersects one label paper in total,
A process of applying an adhesive to the surface of the label mount sheet having an adhesive layer on the back surface;
A step of laminating and bonding the label mount sheet coated with an adhesive and the folded label paper;
By performing a punching process on the laminate of the label mount sheet and the folded label paper, the label with rounded corners by the punched holes has a shape that is connected in multiple rows and multiple columns through the punched holes and the broken lines. Forming a label continuum,
A method comprising:

  According to the folding label of the present invention, the unfolded shape of the label continuum has a shape in which the rounded corners are formed in a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns via folding lines and punched holes. Recognized as an independent panel. Therefore, by describing a predetermined display item for each panel, it becomes easy to recognize each item, and the information conveyed by the entire folding label is easy to understand, and the consumer can easily understand the contents.

  In addition, according to the folding label of the present invention, since the corners of the labels stacked in a folded state are rounded by punching processing, the distortion caused by folding is less likely to accumulate on each label, and the flatness Is maintained, and even when attached to a container having a curved surface portion, lifting from the end portion can be suppressed.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In each figure, the same numerals indicate the same or equivalent components.

FIG. 1A is a plan view (a) and a sectional view (b) of a folding label 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The folding label 1 includes a plurality of layers of labels 3 formed as a continuous body by folding and punching a single sheet of label paper 2 _x (see FIG. 3A), and the label mount 20 (see FIG. 1B (b)). Removably bonded to the surface.

The label 3 has a shape with rounded corners such as a rectangle, a circle, and an ellipse with rounded corners by folding and punching holes in the label paper 2 _x described later. In the present invention, the labels 3 are continuous with each other through the folding line 4 and the punched holes 5 to form a continuous body of a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. A label continuum 2 having 4 rows and 4 columns is formed. For this reason, according to this folding label 1, the label continuous body 2 folded from the label mount 20 is removed and widened, so that the individual labels 3 can be separated not only by the folding lines 4 but also by the punched holes 5. Therefore, by describing predetermined information for each label 3, recognition for each item is facilitated, and information written on the entire folding label can be easily understood. In addition, the display contents can be expanded for each unit by using a single row of labels 3 in the vertical direction as a unit, and this also makes it easy to visually understand the display contents. For example, as shown in FIG. 1B (a), image information is described on the upper label 3a, the explanatory text is described on the lower label 3b, and a unit simulating a so-called snowman is used as one unit. By arranging multiple units in a line, the handling method of the product can be displayed in an easy-to-understand manner.
The continuous form of the label 3 includes two lines in the vertical direction in view of the number of times the label paper 2 _x is folded, the thickness of the label cross section in the folded state, and the operation of the consumer expanding the label when in use. It is preferable that the width is about 2 to 10 rows, particularly about 3 to 8 columns in the horizontal connecting direction.

Furthermore, the label according to the folded label 1, by punching the folded label paper 2 _x, since the individual labels 3 are stacked in the label mount 20 has a rounded corners shape, by folding A portion where the corners of 3 are gathered is a hole 5. For this reason, the individual labels 3 are easy to maintain flatness even though they are laminated by folding the label paper 2 _x , and even when the folded label is attached to the curved surface portion, the folded label continuous The body 2 is less likely to lift from the label mount 20 and the label mount 20 is less likely to lift from the container. Further, there is no distortion or deformation of the corners and edges that are likely to occur when the label is rectangular.

  In this folding label 1, a half-moon-shaped paste margin piece 7 is extended on one side of the uppermost label 3p via a cutting guide line 6 such as a perforation or a half cut, and the paste margin piece 7 is a label mount. 20 is strongly bonded with a strong adhesive layer 8. Here, the strong adhesion means that it is strongly adhered to such an extent that it does not peel off under normal use conditions. The adhesion area by the strong adhesive layer 8 is not the entire surface of the adhesive margin piece 7 but the opposite side of the cutting guide line 6 from the point of turning the label punching end or turning the label punching at the time of transporting the container. It is preferable to use the end region.

  In this folding label 1, the label that is continuous with the uppermost layer label 3 p on the side opposite to the adhesive strip 7 becomes the lowermost layer label 3 q, and the lowermost layer label 3 q is peeled off from the label backing 20 by the weak adhesive layer 9. It is weakly bonded. Here, weak adhesion means that the adhesive state is maintained when no external force is applied, but is adhered to such an extent that it can be easily peeled by a person picking it up with a finger. For the adhesive layer, general-purpose adhesives such as emulsion adhesives and hot melts can be used. In the case where the cutting guide wire 6 is not provided between the adhesive margin piece 7 and the uppermost label 3p as in the folding label 1B shown in FIG. 5, the adhesive portion between the adhesive margin piece 7 and the label mount 20 May be used as the weak adhesive layer 9.

  The remaining label is sandwiched between the uppermost layer label 3p and the lowermost layer label 3q connected by the fold line 4 as in the above-described folding labels 1 and 1B, and the uppermost layer label 3p is labeled via the adhesive margin piece 7. A laminate of labels 3 is bonded to the other end side of the label mount 20 by adhering the lowermost label 3q continuous to the uppermost label 3p on the side opposite to the adhesive margin piece 7 to the other end side of the label mount 20. The whole is held on the label mount 20.

Label paper 2 _x should be high-quality paper with a basis weight of 50 to 100 g / m ² , double-sided art paper, synthetic paper, etc., because the overlapping parts do not float when folded and are easy to make creases. Is preferred.

  On the other hand, the label mount 20 has an adhesive layer 21 on the back surface, and a release paper 22 is laminated on the adhesive layer 21. As the label mount 20, foamed PET, synthetic paper, paper, or the like can be used.

  The shape of the label mount 20 has projecting pieces 24 and 25 projecting from the central region 23 of the label mount 20 that is the laminated region of the label 3 on the side where the adhesive strip 7 is attached and on the opposite side. . These protruding pieces 24 and 25 can be symmetrical with each other, and the width L1 of the protruding direction side end (that is, the width in the direction perpendicular to the protruding direction) is the width of the base of the protruding pieces 24 and 25. Widely with respect to L2, an angle θ formed by the projecting pieces 24 and 25 and the central region 23 is an acute angle. As shown in FIG. 2 (a), the label mount of the folding label 1 is obtained by widening the width L1 of the end portion in the protruding direction and causing the protruding pieces 24 and 25 to protrude from the central area 23 of the label mount 20. Even when 20 is attached to the side surface of the cylindrical container 30, that is, a surface having a curvature, it is possible to effectively prevent the label continuous body 2 from peeling off due to repulsion. Further, by narrowing the width L2 of the base of the protruding piece 24 and matching the cutting guide line 6 of the label continuous body 2 therewith, the consumer can (i) as shown by the arrow a in FIG. The label continuous body 2 that is broken by breaking the cutting guide line 6 is removed from the label mount 20, or (ii) the edge opposite to the cutting guide line 6 of the uppermost label 3p is from the label mount 20. Since it protrudes, first, as shown by an arrow b in FIG. 2 (b), the label continuous body 2 folded from the edge opposite to the cutting guide line 6 of the uppermost label 3p is pulled up and cut. It can be easily recognized that the guide wire 6 is broken and the folded label continuum 2 is removed from the label mount 20.

The folding label 1 can be manufactured as follows, for example.
First, as shown in FIG. 3A, for printing predetermined information on the label sheet 2 _x. In addition, the broken line in a figure has shown the expansion | deployment shape of the label continuous body 2 formed by subsequent punching. Next, the label paper 2 _x is folded as indicated by an arrow along two fold lines in the longitudinal direction indicated by a one-dot chain line. Then, as shown in FIG. 3B, the broken line shown by a chain line in the direction perpendicular to the preceding fold lines, folding the label paper 2 _x, further Figure 3C, as shown in FIG. 3D, the label paper 2 _x by the dashed line Fold it in half as shown by the arrows along the fold line shown. In this way, the folding object 10 for two folding labels is obtained.
In addition, it is preferable to apply | coat the varnish for peeling to the formation position of the weak adhesive layer 9 of this foldable thing 10 for adjustment of adhesive force, for example.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3E, a long label mount 20 having an adhesive layer 21 and a release paper 22 on the back surface is prepared, and the strong adhesive layer 8 is formed at the position where the folded object 10 is to be arranged. For example, an adhesive for forming a strong adhesive layer such as an emulsion-based adhesive is applied in a band shape, and an adhesive for forming a weak adhesive layer such as a hot melt adhesive is formed at a position where the weak adhesive layer 9 is formed. Apply the agent in strips.

  Next, as illustrated in FIG. 3F, the above-described folded object 10 is stacked, and the folded object 10 and the label mount 20 are bonded. Then, a punching process is performed on this, and the folded area of the folded label on the label board 20 and the non-laminated area (that is, the area of only the label board 20) are punched simultaneously, as shown in FIG. 3G. A sheet in which the folding labels 1 are arranged in two rows at a predetermined interval on the paper 22 is obtained. By folding this in the longitudinal direction and winding it into a roll, the folded label roll 11 can be obtained as shown in FIG. The folding label 1 obtained in this way is peeled off the release paper 22 and attached to the surface of the container 30 or the like as shown in FIG.

  The above-described method for manufacturing a folded label is a method of punching two folded labels from one sheet of label paper, but the method for manufacturing a folded label is not limited to this in the present invention. For example, a single label is manufactured. The folding labels may be punched out one by one from the paper.

  The foldable label of the present invention is useful for sticking a paper surface on which information on commodities related to a container is written on the surface of a container such as a bottle, can or box.
