Description

The present invention relates to a labeled article in which a label is affixed to the article.

Conventionally, campaign labels for sales promotion and the like are known (Patent Document 1). Such a campaign label is distributed in the form of a labeled article attached to the article, and the consumer who purchased the labeled article peels off the campaign label and reattaches it to an application postcard, for example. used.
In addition, a POP label (also called an eye-catching label) for attracting the attention of consumers and enhancing the advertising effect is also known (Patent Document 2). Such a POP label is distributed in the form of a labeled article attached to the article in a state where the portion on which the advertisement is displayed is projected from the article. Since such a POP label is for advertising at the time of selling the article and is not necessary when the article is used, the consumer who purchased the labeled article with the POP label attached peels off the POP label and discards it. Often.

By the way, labels such as the campaign label and the POP label as described above are used by being attached to an arbitrary part of an article, but as shown in FIG. 3 of Patent Document 1, a product name, a product description, etc. are displayed. It may be used by attaching it to the surface of the label of the article to which the label is attached.
Hereinafter, in the present specification, a label normally attached to an article for displaying the source and function of the article such as a product name and a product description as described above is referred to as a "main label". Labels that can be attached as needed separately from the main label such as campaign labels and POP labels are called "secondary labels".
When the sub-label is attached to the surface of the main label, the sub-label may be attached and used across the surface of the main label and the surface of the article.

Of the sub-label A shown in FIG. 9, the plain portion is the non-attached portion 3. Further, in FIG. 10, in order to make it easy to understand the positions of the first sticking part 1 and the second sticking part 2, the sub-label A of the second aspect (a mode in which the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 42 is partially provided) is shown. (The same applies to FIG. 12).
In FIGS. 7 to 10, the labeled article C is attached across the article D, the main label B attached to the surface of the article D, the surface of the article D, and the surface of the main label B. It has an attached sub-label A and.
In the sub-label A, the first sticking part 1 is stuck on the surface of the article D and the second sticking part 2 is the main label B, while the non-sticking part 3 corresponds to the non-linear edge portion of the main label B. It is pasted on the surface of.
In such a labeled article C, the non-attached portion 3 of the sub-label A is aligned so as to correspond to the non-linear edge portion of the main label B, and the first attached portion 1 is attached to the surface of the article D. It can be obtained by attaching and attaching the second attachment site 2 to the surface of the main label B.

Specifically, the sub-label A is attached across both surfaces so as to overlap a part of the surface of the main label B and a part of the surface of the article D. However, the sub-label A does not overlap the entire surface of the main label B.
In relation to the main label B, the sub-label A overlaps a part of the edge 7 of the main label B and a region inside the edge 7. Hereinafter, among the edge portions 7 of the main label B, the edge portion 7 on which the sub-label A overlaps when the sub-label A is attached is referred to as an “overlapping edge portion”, and is an area inside the edge portion 7 of the main label B. Of these, the inner region where the sub-label A overlaps when the sub-label A is attached may be referred to as an "overlapping inner region".
The non-adhesive surface 4b of the intermediate non-sticking portion 31 of the sub-label A faces the overlapping edge portion of the main label B, and the adhesive surface 4a of the second sticking portion 2 of the sub-label A is in the overlapping inner region of the main label B. Face to face. Since the intermediate non-sticking portion 31 having the non-adhesive surface 4b is substantially impossible to adhere to the surface of the main label B, the intermediate non-sticking portion 31 of the sub-label A is the non-linear edge portion of the main label B. It overlaps without being substantially attached to the entire overlapping edge including. Since the second sticking part 2 having the adhesive surface 4a can be adhered to the surface of the main label B, the second sticking part 2 of the sub-label A can be peeled off over the entire overlapping inner region of the main label B. It's stuck.
As shown in the drawing, the overlapping edge portion of the main label B to which the non-attached portion 3 of the sub-label A corresponds is preferably the arc-shaped edge portion 71 having the arc-shaped edge 71a.

In relation to the article D, the sub-label A overlaps the surface of the article D outside the overlapping edge of the primary label B. Hereinafter, on the surface of the article D, the portion where the sub-label A overlaps when the sub-label A is attached may be referred to as an “overlapping surface portion”.
The adhesive surface 4a of the first attachment portion 1 of the sub-label A faces the overlapping surface portion. Since the first attachment portion 1 having the adhesive surface 4a can be adhered to the surface of the article D, the first attachment portion 1 of the sub-label A is detachably attached to the overlapping surface portion of the article D. .. It is difficult to accurately align and attach the sub-label A so that the intermediate non-attachment portion 31 of the sub-label A faces only the overlapping edge portion including the non-linear edge portion of the main label B. Therefore, as shown in the figure, the intermediate non-attached portion 31 of the sub-label A faces the overlapping edge portion of the main label B and the overlapping surface portion of the article D.
As described above, since a part of the surface of the main body 51 to which the main label B is attached is exposed around the edge 7a of the main label B, the first attachment portion 1 of the sub label A is the main body. It is attached to the flat surface 5a of the portion 51, and therefore, in a state where the sub-label A is attached, the first attachment portion 1 and the second attachment portion 2 are substantially parallel to each other.

Since the intermediate non-adhesive portion 31 located outside the first affixed portion 1 and having the non-adhesive surface 4b is substantially impossible to adhere to the surface of the article D, the remaining non-adhesive portion of the sub-label A is not attached. 32 does not stick to the article D and protrudes away from the article D.

A sub-label A is attached to the labeled article C of the present invention. Since the sub-label A can be used as a POP label as in the present embodiment, it is possible to provide a labeled article C having an excellent advertising effect. Further, since the sub-label A is attached across the article D and the main label B, it will not be inadvertently peeled off.
Since the sub-label A becomes unnecessary after purchase, the consumer who purchased the labeled article C usually peels off the sub-label A and discards it. At this time, the remaining non-attached portion 32 away from the article D is picked with a finger, and as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the sub-label A is peeled off by inverting the sub-label A. In the sub-label A of the illustrated example in which the non-remaining portion 32 is attached so as to protrude on the upper side, the sub-label A is peeled off by pulling out the non-remaining portion 32 downward.

In the labeled article C of the present invention, the sub-label A is attached straddling the article D and the main label B, but the non-attached portion 3 is an overlapping edge portion including the non-linear edge portion of the main label B. The sub-label A is not substantially adhered to the overlapping edge portion including the non-linear edge portion of the main label B (it is not completely adhered or is adhered extremely weakly). ). Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, when the sub-label A is peeled off, the edge portion 7 including the edge 7a of the main label B is not pulled by the sub-label A, and the main label B is attached to the sub-label A. It becomes difficult to follow the peeling. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the main label B from being peeled off when the sub-label A is peeled off. Further, even when the main label B has a surface layer made of a material that easily causes material destruction such as paper or non-woven fabric, it is possible to prevent the main label B from causing material destruction when the sub-label A is peeled off.

In particular, in a non-linear edge portion such as an arc-shaped edge portion 71 including an arc-shaped edge 71a, the main label B is liable to peel off or material breakage from the arc-shaped edge 71a as a starting point. Since the non-attached portion 3 of the sub-label A corresponds to the edge portion 7 (non-linear edge portion) including the arc-shaped edge 71a of the main label B, the main label B is peeled off or the main label B is peeled off when the sub-label A is peeled off. Material destruction can be reliably prevented.
Further, when the main label B is attached to the flat surface 5a, the main label B is easily peeled off when a turning force is applied to the edge 7 of the main label B. For example, even if the main label B is attached to the flat surface 5a of the article D, it is possible to prevent the main label B from peeling off or the material from being destroyed.
Generally, in the case where the main label B of a substantially isosceles triangle is attached to the plane view substantially trapezoidal surface of the article D as in the above example, with the apex angle corresponding to the upper base thereof (in other words, in other words). When the surface of the article D to which the main label B is attached and the size of the main label B both become smaller toward the lid 52), if the sub label is attached only to this main label, the sub label becomes The sticking area is reduced and the secondary label is easily removed. In this respect, in the labeled article C of the present invention, since the sub-label A is attached across the article D and the main label B, a sufficient attachment area for the sub-label A can be secured, but a non-attached portion. By providing 3, the peeling of the main label B or the material destruction due to the peeling of the sub-label A can be reliably prevented.

The labeled article of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned first embodiment, and can be variously modified within the scope intended by the present invention. Hereinafter, other embodiments of the present invention will be described, but configurations different from the embodiments shown above will be mainly described, and the description of similar configurations and the like may be omitted and terms and reference numerals may be used. ..
