Description

The present invention relates to a medium for making a label.

Patent Document 1 describes a label (bonded tag) that is peeled off from the mount of a tag continuum and used. The label includes a display portion and a mounting portion. Notation contents (bar code, etc.) are printed on the display unit. The attachment portion is used to attach the display portion to the adherend (commodity).

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2003-58062

In the above-mentioned prior art, the mounting portion is provided with a folding line extending in the longitudinal direction at the center portion in the width direction. When this fold line is folded and used, the adhesive provided on the back surface of the mounting part does not adhere to the adherend, so that the label can be rotatably attached around the cable-shaped adherend. Can be done. When used without folding the fold line, the adhesive on the back surface of the mounting portion is adhered to the adherend to form a fixed label that can be fixedly attached to the cable-shaped adherend.

However, in the above-mentioned prior art, when it is used as the above-mentioned fixed label, the winding portion around the adherend is formed by leaving the mounting portion as it is without folding it along the folding line. For this reason, there is a problem that the width direction dimension of the wound portion (in other words, the dimension along the axial direction of the adherend) becomes relatively large, and it is difficult to attach the wound portion to the bent portion of the adherend.

An object of the present invention is to provide a medium that can be used as both a rotating label and a fixed label, and can be easily attached to a bent portion of an adherend when used as a fixed label.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is configured by laminating at least a base material layer and a release material layer, and the base material layer has a plurality of regions along a first direction orthogonal to the laminating direction. In the plurality of regions, the portion in contact with the release material layer is an adhesive first region, and the portion in contact with the release material layer is non-adhesive, and the first in the first direction. The second region, which is connected to one region and whose length in the stacking direction and the second direction intersecting the first direction is smaller than that of the first region, and the portion in contact with the release material layer are adhesive. A third region, which is connected to the second region in the first direction and whose length in the second direction is smaller than that of the first region, is included, and the base material layer further comprises the second region. Has a hole or a cut or a row of holes or a row of cuts extending from one end to the other end in the second direction, or from one end to the other end in the second direction of the third region. It is characterized by that.

The medium of the present invention comprises a first region, a second region, and a third region in which the substrate layers are connected to each other along a first direction. Then, in the second region (or the third region), a hole or a cut extending from one end to the other end or a row of holes or a row of cuts (hereinafter, appropriately referred to simply as "cut or the like") is provided. When used by the user, depending on whether or not this cut is cut, it can be used as a rotating label that is rotatably attached around the cable-shaped adherend, or as a fixed label that is fixedly attached to the adherend. You can use it or use it properly.

That is, for example, when it is desired to use it as the rotation label, the user may cut the cut or the like. In this case, after cutting and removing the ends, at least a first region that is adhesive and at least a part of the second region that is non-adhesive will remain. In this state, the user circulates the non-adhesive second region (or a part of the second region and the subsequent third region) around the adherend, and the second region (or the second region after the circling). Alternatively, the tip of the third region) is attached to the adhesive first region. Thereby, it is possible to realize the above-mentioned rotation label which is rotatably attached to the outer peripheral portion of the adherend by the non-adhesive second region and which displays the desired display by the user by the first region.

On the other hand, for example, when it is desired to use it as the fixed label, the user may leave the cut or the like uncut. In this case, the entire adhesive first region, non-adhesive second region, and adhesive third region will be provided in the base material layer. In this state, the user winds and attaches the adhesive third region around the outer peripheral portion of the adherend. If necessary, the tip end portion of the third region after winding may be attached to the root portion (second region side portion) or the second region of the third region. As a result, it is possible to realize the fixed label that is fixedly attached to the outer peripheral portion of the adherend by the adhesive third region and that the user's desired display is performed by the first region.

At this time, the length of the third region wound around the outer peripheral portion of the adherend in the second direction is smaller than the length of the first region in the second direction. That is, the width direction dimension of the third region along the axial direction of the adherend can be made relatively small. As a result, as in the conventional structure in which the rotating label is realized by folding at the fold line and the fixed label is realized without folding at the fold line, the winding portion becomes thick and the bent portion of the adherend is formed. It does not become difficult to attach to.

According to the present invention, it is possible to obtain a medium that can be used as both a rotating label and a fixed label, and that can be easily attached to a bent portion of an adherend when used as a fixed label.

A tape cartridge 10 containing a tape roll 10A (which is originally spiral but is shown in concentric circles for simplification) is detachable from the cartridge holder 12. A tape to be printed To is wound around the tape roll 10A. At this time, the tape cartridge 10 is a so-called die-cut label type in which the printed tape To having the notch HC (see FIG. 2 described later) by half-cutting the printed tape To is wound around the tape roll A. There is a so-called indefinite length type in which the printed tape To without the notch HC is wound around the tape roll A. In the label making apparatus 1, either type of tape cartridge 10 can be used. Unless otherwise specified, the case where the die-cut label type tape cartridge 10 is used will be described below as an example.

The control circuit 2 includes a CPU and a ROM (not shown). The control circuit 2 executes various programs stored in advance in the ROM and controls the entire label making device 1 while utilizing the temporary storage function of the RAM 5.

The transfer roller 6 is provided so as to face the print head 7, and sandwiches the tape to be printed To unwound from the tape roll 10A with the print head 7. The transfer roller 6 conveys the tape to be printed To while feeding out from the tape roll 10A by rotating.

The print head 7 prints a desired print object such as characters and images intended by the user on each label portion (details will be described later) of the tape to be printed To conveyed by the transfer roller 6.

The cutter 9 is operated by the operation of the cut lever 8 by the user to cut the printed tape T (details will be described later) in which a plurality of print labels L are formed along the transport direction. The printed tapes To and T correspond to the media described in each claim.

<Printed tape>
The detailed configuration of the printed tape To is shown in FIG. 2 (a). In FIG. 2A, the left-right direction in the figure is the transport direction (in other words, the tape length direction), the up-down direction in the figure is the tape width direction, and the front-back direction in the figure is the tape thickness direction. The plan view of the tape to be printed To is shown. In FIG. 2A, the inner region of the tape to be printed To is formed through a substantially rectangular notch HC (notched in the base material layer 21 and the adhesive layer 22; see FIG. 3 described later). The label portion LA and the outer region are the non-label portion LB. The tape to which the non-labeled portion LB has been peeled off in advance may be used as the printing tape To. A plurality of label portions LA are provided along the tape length direction, and each label portion LA is directed toward one side (middle and upper side in FIG. 2A) in the tape width direction (first direction). , Region D1, region D2, and region D3 are included. These areas will be described later.

FIG. 2B shows a detailed configuration of the tape to be printed T after the print R is formed. The example of FIG. 2B shows a plan view of the tape to be printed T after the print R is printed in the area D1 of the areas D1 to D3. As shown in FIG. 2B, in this example, a plurality of text objects as the print objects, that is, print Rs of "AAA" ... Are sequentially formed on the plurality of label portions LA described above. The print label L of is generated.

<Print label>
Next, the structure of the print label L will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b). Note that FIG. 3A shows a plan view of the printed label L in a state where one label portion LA is separated from the non-label portion LB, and FIG. 3B shows IIIB-IIIB in FIG. 3A. A cross-sectional view of the cross section is shown.

In FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b), the print label L is in the thickness direction (in FIG. 3 (a), the depth direction toward the figure, in FIG. 3 (b), the left-right direction in the drawing, that is, each layer described later. From the left side to the right side (from the front side to the back side toward FIG. 3A) in FIG. 3B, the transparent base material layer 21 and the transparent adhesive layer 22 are laminated. The transparent non-adhesive layer 23 (see region D2 described later) and the release material layer 24 are laminated in this order. Since this laminated structure also applies to the printed tapes To and T as they are, the printed tapes To and T are orthogonal to the left and right directions in FIG. 2 (the first direction and the thickness direction, respectively). The base material layer 21, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22, the non-sticky agent layer 23, and the release material layer 24, which are long layers extending in the second direction), are provided. At this time, the non-adhesive layer 23 is partially provided between the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 and the release material layer 24.

As a result of the above, the printed label L (specifically, the base material layer 21; the same applies hereinafter) has a direction orthogonal to the thickness direction (vertical direction shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, which will be described later. The end of the print label L on the lower side of the drawing (hereinafter, appropriately referred to as "the other side of the first direction") in the first direction of the print label L along the circumferential direction of the body 302; hereinafter appropriately referred to as "first direction"). A region D1 (corresponding to the first region in this embodiment) and a region D2 (in this embodiment) provided by connecting the region D1 (corresponding to the first region in this embodiment) and the upper side of the drawing (hereinafter, appropriately referred to as "one side in the first direction"). It is provided with three regions (corresponding to the second region) and a region D3 (corresponding to the third region in this embodiment) provided in connection with the upper part of the drawing of the region D2.

<Details of each area>
In the region D1, the base material layer 21, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22, and the release material layer 24 are laminated in this order from one side in the thickness direction to the other side (from the left side to the right side in FIG. 3B). There is. As a result, the region D1 as a whole is a region in which the portion in contact with the release material layer 24 has adhesiveness due to the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 (corresponding to the adhesiveness in this example; the same applies hereinafter). The region D1 has a length L1 in the first direction.

Further, in this example, the texts “AAA” and “AAA” (AAA” and “AAA” (in this example, on the surface of the base material layer 21 of the region D1 on one side in the thickness direction (front side in the middle of FIG. 3A, left side in the middle of FIG. 3B). However, the print R (upside down) is formed by the print head 7. The print R is a one end portion (middle left end in FIG. 3 (a)) in the second direction (horizontal direction in FIG. 3 (a)) at the center portion of the first direction (vertical direction in FIG. 3) of the area D1. It is formed in a state of being vertically inverted (that is, line-symmetrical with respect to the fold line G1) via a fold line G1 extending from the other end portion (the right end portion in FIG. 3A). In this example, the fold line G1 is composed of so-called perforations (similar to the cutting line G2 described later). However, it may be formed as a simple printed line without being configured as such a weak portion in terms of strength.

In the region D2, the base material layer 21, the adhesive layer 22, the non-adhesive layer 23, and the release material are directed from one side to the other (from the left side to the right side in FIG. 3B) in the thickness direction. The layers 24 are laminated in this order. As a result, in the region D2 as a whole, the portion in contact with the release material layer 24 is non-adhesive (the adhesiveness of the adhesive layer 22 is blocked by the non-adhesive layer 23) (non-adhesiveness in this example). It is an area that corresponds to (the same applies hereinafter). The region D2 has a length L2 in the first direction.

In the region D3, the base material layer 21, the adhesive layer 22, and the release material layer 24 are laminated in this order from one side in the thickness direction to the other side (from the left side to the right side in FIG. 3B). There is. As a result, the region D3 as a whole is a region in which the portion in contact with the release material layer 24 has adhesiveness due to the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 (corresponding to the adhesiveness in this example; the same applies hereinafter). The region D3 has a length L3 in the first direction.

The region D3 in the base material layer 21 has a cutting line G2 extending from one end (left end in FIG. 3A) to the other end (right end in FIG. 3A) in the second direction. (So-called perforations, equivalent to rows of cuts) are provided.

Further, the lengths W2 and W3 of the region D2 and the region D3 in the second direction (in the left-right direction in FIG. 3A) are smaller than the length W1 of the region D1 in the second direction, respectively. (Especially in this example, W2 = W3).

Further, in the base material layer 21, this example is placed on the side of the release material layer 24 (specifically, the surface of the non-adhesive layer 23 on the other side in the second direction) of the portion of the region D2 on the side of the region D1. Is provided with a circular first marker M1. Further, one end side in the left-right direction (the second direction) on the side of the release material layer 24 (specifically, the surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 on the other side in the second direction) of the portion of the region D3 on the side of the area D2. A circular second mark M2 extending from the other end side is provided. In particular, at least a part of the first mark M1 (all in this example) and at least a part of the second mark M2 (all in this example) are closer to the region D1 than the cutting line G2 (in FIG. 3). It is provided on the lower side). Then, at least a part of the first mark M1 (all in this example) and at least a part of the second mark M2 (all in this example) are positioned so as to line up with each other in the first direction (vertical direction in FIG. 3). It is provided in.

<Characteristics of the embodiment>
The most distinctive feature of the print label L having the above configuration is that it can be used as a rotating label that is rotatably attached around the adherend according to the execution / non-execution of cutting on the cutting line G2, or for the adherend. It can be used as a fixed label to be fixedly attached. Hereinafter, the rotating label and the fixed label will be described step by step in each case.

<When using as a rotating label>
4 and 5 show examples of the procedure for attaching the printed label L to the adherend 302 when the printed label L is used as the rotating label.

First, the user breaks the cutting line G2 of the area D3 in the print label L having the above-mentioned structure (while leaving the second mark M2), and one of the areas D3 in the first direction from the cutting line G2. Remove the side (upper side in FIG. 4) (see FIG. 4). At this time, at any timing, the release material layer 24 is peeled off from the print label L to expose the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 and the non-adhesive layer 23. Note that FIG. 4B shows a state in which the release material layer 24 is not peeled off.

After that, of the printed labels L connected in the order of region D1 → region D2 → part of region D3 with the second mark M2, the side where the release material layer 24 is in contact with the region D2 and part of the region D3 is inside. Bend in a concave shape so that

Then, as shown in FIG. 5A, a cylindrical or cable-shaped adherend 302 is arranged inside the concave shape, and a part of the region D2 and the region D3 is surrounded by the adherend 302. After making a round so as to form a body, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 of the region D3 located on the tip side is attached to the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 of the region D2. At that time, as shown in FIG. 5B, the area D2 is provided with the first mark M1, and the area D3 is provided with the second mark M2. As described above, the base material layer 21, the adhesive layer 22, and the non-adhesive layer 23 are each transparent (or may be translucent), and the second mark M2 can be visually recognized from the base material layer 21 side, for example. It is possible to visually attach the two marks M1 and M2 so as to overlap each other.

Then, as shown in FIG. 5C, the region D1 is folded (so that the adhesive layer 22 side is on the inside) via the folding line G1 in the center of the region D1 so that the region D1 can be rotated to the adherend 302. Installation is completed. That is, by making a valley fold on the adhesive surface side of the folding line G1 of the area D1, it is possible to realize a rotating label in which the desired notation is made by printing R on the two non-adhesive surface sides of the front and back sides of the area D1 folded in half. Can be done. Further, at this time, after the above-mentioned lap, the tip portion of the above-mentioned region D3 can be sandwiched between the two surfaces of the region D1 to be folded by the above-mentioned folding line G1 to make the adhesive adhere.

<When used as a fixed label>
On the other hand, FIG. 6 shows an example of an attachment procedure to the adherend 302 when the print label L is used as a fixed label. In this case, the user may leave the cutting line G2 unbroken.

That is, in a state where the release material layer 24 is peeled off from the print label L having the structure shown in FIG. Wrap and paste on (see FIG. 6 (a)). Then, as shown in FIG. 6B, the region D1 is folded (so that the adhesive layer 22 side is on the inside) via the folding line G1 in the center of the region D1 to fix the region D1 to the adherend 302. Installation is completed.

<Effect of embodiment>
As described above, in the present embodiment, the base material layers 21 include regions D1, regions D2, and regions D3 that are connected to each other along the first direction. Then, a cutting line G2 is provided in the region D3 (or the region D2, which may be a modified example shown in FIG. 9 described later). Then, at the time of use by the user, as described above with reference to FIGS. 3 to 6, as a rotation label rotatably attached around the cable-shaped adherend 302 depending on whether or not the cutting line G2 is broken. It can be used properly or as a fixed label that is fixedly attached to the adherend 302.

At that time, the length W3 of the region D3 in the second direction is smaller than the length W1 of the region D1 in the second direction. As a result, when used as the fixed label, the width direction dimension of the region D3 (see FIG. 5) wound around the outer peripheral portion of the adherend 302 along the axial direction of the adherend 302 is relatively small. Can be done. As a result, the adherend 302 of the portion wound around the adherend 302 as in the conventional structure in which the rotating label is realized by folding at the fold line while the fixed label is realized without folding at the fold line. It does not become difficult to attach to the bent portion of the adherend 302 due to the large dimension in the axial direction of the adherend 302.

Further, in the present embodiment, in particular, in the region D3 of the base material layer 21, from one end (left end in FIG. 3A) to the other end (right end in FIG. 3A) in the second direction. An extending cutting line G2 (so-called perforation) is provided. As a result, when the user breaks the cutting line G2 as described above, after the cutting line G2 is broken and the end is removed, the adhesive region D1, the non-adhesive region D2, and the adhesive region D3 And part of it will remain. In this state, the user circulates the non-adhesive region D2 and a part of the region D3 that follows the non-adhesive region D2 around the adherend 302, and the tip of the region D3 after the circling is the adhesive region. By adhering to D1, it is possible to realize the above-mentioned rotation label which is rotatably attached to the outer peripheral portion of the adherend 302 by the non-adhesive region D2 and which displays the user's desired display by the region D1. can. Further, since the curvature at the time of the circuit can be reduced as compared with the case where the cutting line G2 is provided in the region D2, it is suitable for attachment to the adherend 302 having a relatively large diameter.

Further, in the present embodiment, in particular, the first mark M1 is provided on the side of the area D1 of the area D2 in the base material layer 21, and the second mark M2 is provided on the side of the area D2 of the area D3. As a result, when used as the rotation label, the first mark M1 and the second mark M2 are visually aligned and wound around the adherend 302 in a correct posture with less skew. Can be installed.

<Modification example, etc.>
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and technical idea. Hereinafter, such a modification will be described. The same parts as those in the above embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted or simplified as appropriate.

(1) When the mark M1 is provided in the area D1 In FIGS. 7 (a) and 7 (b), the print label L according to this modification is obtained in the same manner as in FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b) described above. , It is the figure which showed the figure after the break by the cutting line G2. As shown in FIG. 7, in the present modification, in the base material layer 21, the first mark M1 is provided on the region D1 side close to the boundary line between the region D2 and the region D1. Further, in particular, the distance x1 from the end of the region D1 on the region D2 side (upper side in FIG. 7) in the first direction to the folding line G1 is from the cutting line G2 provided in the region D3. It is larger than the distance x2 to the boundary between the region D3 and the region D2.

When the print label L having the above configuration is used as the rotation label, the user first breaks the cutting line G2 in the area D3 and then cuts the cutting line G2 in the area D3 in the first direction from the cutting line G2 in the area D3. Remove the side (see Figure 7). Further, the release material layer 24 is peeled off at an appropriate timing to expose the adhesive layer 22 and the non-adhesive layer 23. Note that FIG. 7B shows a state in which the release material layer 24 is not peeled off. After that, a part of the area D2 and the area D3 of the printed label L connected in the order of the area D1 with the first mark M1 → the area D2 → a part of the area D3 with the second mark M2 is removed from the release material layer 24. Bend in a concave shape so that the side that was in contact with is on the inside.

Then, as shown in FIG. 8A, the adherend 302 is arranged inside the concave shape, and a part of the region D2 and the region D3 is formed into a cylindrical body surrounding the adherend 302. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 of the region D3 located on the tip side is bonded to the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 of the region D2. At that time, as shown in FIG. 8B, the two markers M1 and M2 are overlapped by utilizing the fact that the region D1 is provided with the first marker M1 and the region D3 is provided with the second marker M2. It is possible to perform bonding while visually observing the alignment. Then, as shown in FIG. 8C, the region D1 is folded (so that the adhesive layer 22 side is on the inside) via the folding line G1 in the center of the region D1 so that the region D1 can be rotated to the adherend 302. Installation is completed.

As described above, in the present modification, as in the above embodiment, the two non-adhesive surface sides of the front and back sides of the region D1 folded in half by performing a valley fold on the adhesive surface side at the fold line G1 of the region D1. In the printing R, it is possible to realize a rotating label that makes a desired notation. Further, at this time, after the above-mentioned lap, the tip portion of the above-mentioned region D3 can be sandwiched between the two surfaces of the region D1 to be folded by the above-mentioned folding line G1 to make the adhesive adhere. At that time, in this modification, the distance x1 from the end on the side of the area D2 to the folding line G1 in the folded area D1 is from the cutting line G2 to the boundary between the area D3 and the area D2 in the area D3. By being larger than the distance x2, the tip portion to be sandwiched can be prevented from protruding from between the two surfaces.

Further, as in the above embodiment, by performing the orbit around the adherend 302 by visually aligning the first mark M1 and the second mark M2, it is possible to attach the correct posture with less skew. ..

(2) When the cutting line G2 is provided in the non-adhesive region D2 In FIG. 9, the printed label L according to this modification is printed on the cutting line G2 in the same manner as in FIGS. 4 (a) and 7 (a) described above. It is the figure which showed the figure after the break by. As shown in FIG. 9, in the present modification, in the base material layer 21, the cutting line G2 extends from one end (left end in the drawing) to the other end (right end in the drawing) of the region D2 in the second direction. ing. In this modification, the above-mentioned first mark M1 and second mark M2 are not provided and are omitted.

When the print label L having the above configuration is used as the rotation label, the user first breaks the cutting line G2 of the area D2 and is the third of the area D3 and the area D2 than the cutting line G2, as described above. Remove one side in one direction (see FIG. 9). Further, the release material layer 24 is peeled off at an appropriate timing to expose the adhesive layer 22 and the non-adhesive layer 23. After that, of the printed labels L connected in the order of region D1 → region D2, the region D2 is bent in a concave shape so that the side in contact with the release material layer 24 is on the inside.

Then, as shown in FIG. 10A, the adherend 302 is arranged inside the concave shape, and the region D2 is made to go around so as to form a cylindrical body surrounding the adherend 302. The non-adhesive layer 23 located on the tip side of the region D2 is attached to the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 in the region D1 (see FIG. 10B). Then, as shown in FIG. 10 (c), the region D1 is folded (so that the adhesive layer 22 side is on the inside) via the folding line G1 in the center of the region D1 so that the region D1 can be rotated to the adherend 302. Installation is completed.

In this modification, similarly to the above, by performing a valley fold on the adhesive surface side of the folding line G1 of the area D1, a desired notation is printed on the two non-adhesive surface sides of the front and back sides of the area D1 folded in half. It is possible to realize the rotation label to be performed. Further, at this time, after the above-mentioned lap, the non-adhesive layer 23 at the tip of the region D2 can be sandwiched between the two surfaces of the region D1 to be folded by the folding line G1 to make the adhesive adhere. Further, according to this modification in which the cutting line G2 is provided in the region D2, the curvature at the time of the circuit can be increased as compared with the case where the cutting line G2 is provided in the region D3. As shown in, it is suitable for attachment to an adherend 302 having a relatively small diameter.

(3) When Forming a Non-Adhesive Layer by Utilizing Cut Pieces of Adhesive Region The structure of the print label L in this modified example is shown in FIG. 11 (a) corresponding to FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b) above. And shown in FIG. 11 (b). As shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B, in this modification, the non-adhesive layer 23 is omitted, and the entire region is a transparent base material layer 21 and a transparent adhesive layer 22. And the release material layer 24 are laminated in this order. Then, a region composed of a region D22 (length L1 in the first direction) corresponding to the region D3 of the embodiment and a region D21 (length L2 in the first direction) corresponding to the region D2 of the embodiment. The second region in this modification is configured by D2'. Similar to the above embodiment, the region D1 constitutes the first region in this modification.

Similar to the cutting line G2 of the above embodiment, the base material layer 21 has one end (left end in FIG. 11A) to the other end (FIG. 11) of the upper region D22 of the region D2'in the second direction. A cutting line G2 extending to (the right end portion in 11 (a)) is provided.

Then, in this modification, instead of the first mark M1 and the second mark M2 of the above embodiment, the portion of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 on the release material layer 24 side and on the region D1 side of the cutting line G2. In this example, a broken line-shaped fourth mark M4 and a third mark M3 are provided. The third mark M3 is provided near the boundary line between the area D1 and the lower area D2, and the fourth mark M4 is provided near the boundary line between the upper area D22 and the lower area D21. At this time, the distance from the fourth mark M4 to the third mark M3 in the first direction (corresponding to the length L2 of the lower region D21 in the first direction) is the upper region cut and removed by the cutting line G2. It substantially matches the length of the tip side portion (details will be described later) of D22.

When the print label L having the above configuration is used, as shown in FIG. 12, the release material layer 24 is peeled off, and then the cutting line G2 is broken. Then, as shown in FIG. 13, a part of the upper region D22 which is the separated fragment (hereinafter, appropriately referred to as “D22a”) is turned upside down, and one side of the fragment D22a in the first direction (not shown). Adhesive from behind to the lower region D21 by the adhesive layer 22 while aligning the upper) end with the second marker M4 and aligning the other (shown side) end of the fragment D22a in the first direction with the first marker M3. Let me. As a result, as a whole, the lower region D21 has a portion in contact with the release material layer 24 (the adhesiveness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 originally provided in the lower region D1 is the base material layer of the fragment D22a. It becomes an area that becomes non-adhesive (blocked by 21). As a result, a structure equivalent to the configuration shown in FIG. 4 described above can be realized. Therefore, the same rotating label can be realized by attaching to the adherend 302 in the manner shown in FIG. 5 described above. Can be done.

In the above, as an example of adhesiveness, the case where the adhesive layer 22 is provided with adhesiveness (adhesiveness) by the adhesive has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. That is, for example, a pseudo-adhesive structure by pressure that is used for postcards and cannot be reattached once peeled off, or a structure that adheres to each other by static electricity such as a resin sheet used for wrapping or the like may be used. .. Further, as the adhesive used for the above-mentioned pseudo-adhesion, one having a property that it is in a wet and wet state before being attached and cannot be reattached after being dried and peeled off may be used.

Further, in the above, the cutting line G2 is configured by perforations, but the present invention is not limited to this. That is, it is sufficient that the cutting line G2 is subjected to some processing that enables cutting along a predetermined path extending in the cutting direction, and is composed of a row of holes having a desired shape instead of the row of cuts. You may. Alternatively, it may be composed of, for example, one slit (corresponding to a cut) cut from the end or one hole provided in a flat opening shape instead of a row.

Further, in the above description, when there is a description such as "same", "equal", "different", etc. in the external dimensions and sizes, the description is not a strict meaning. That is, those "same", "equal", and "different" mean that design and manufacturing tolerances and errors are allowed, and that they are "substantially the same", "substantially equal", and "substantially different". ..

In the above, the arrows shown in FIG. 1 indicate an example of signal flow, and do not limit the signal flow direction.

In addition to the above, the methods according to the above-described embodiment and each modification may be appropriately combined and used.

In addition, although not illustrated one by one, the present invention is carried out with various modifications within a range not deviating from the gist thereof.
