Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a postcard with a label that can transmit a larger amount of information in a concealed state than before by folding and detachably integrating a plurality of leaf pieces, and a method for manufacturing the same.

In recent years, postcards have been used which have the excellent function of being able to send a large amount of information to the recipient in a concealed manner at the cost of a postcard by folding and detachably integrating a plurality of leaf pieces. By the way, there are detailed restrictions on postcard size, weight, attached label pieces, etc. for ordinary postcards of the second class mail stipulated in domestic postal agreements. Therefore, ordinary postcards that are currently available are up to a tri-fold (Z-fold) configuration in which leaf pieces are attached to both sides of the main body, such as the tri-fold secret postcard described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 7-26160. is allowed.

Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 7-26160

In the tri-fold secret postcard of Patent Document 1, various information can be written on the front and back sides of the trifoliate except for the part where the address is written. By the way, as means for printing the address and name of the recipient on a postcard for direct mail, for example, the address and name of the recipient are directly printed on the surface of the postcard by a printer, or the address and name of the recipient are printed in a separate process on a mailing label. are pasted in a separate process.

Although the present invention is a tri-fold postcard in which the number of leaf pieces is currently three, it is possible to describe and transmit more information by combining an address label that is not counted in the leaf pieces, and the address label can be easily used. To provide a postcard with a label piece which can be separated and developed into a flat state in which the postcard after separation attracts the interest of a recipient.

In order to achieve the above object, the postcard with a label piece of the present invention has a total of 4 leaf pieces with a width length connected by a folding line in a relationship of 2nd leaf piece≈3rd leaf piece>1st leaf piece≧4th leaf piece. Postal mail with label strips folded and superimposed on the folding line in the order of the fourth leaf strip to be the label strip and the first, second and third leaf strips to be the postcard from the top. It is a postcard, and the opposing surfaces of each leaflet are adhered so as to be peelable via a pseudo-adhesive means, and three leaflets, the first leaflet, the second leaflet, and the third leaflet, which become the postcard after peeling, have a Z-shaped cross section to a flat surface . A fourth leaf piece that develops into a label piece and can be separated by a separable means that is formed along a folding line that connects the three leaf pieces and that is easy to fold and cut off, and is attached to the adhesive surface side of the fourth leaf piece. It is characterized by the fact that information is also described .

The information written on the surface of the label piece of the postcard with the label piece of the present invention, which is considered to be the label piece, is used for postal services such as indication of payment by the recipient, separate payment, post-payment, etc., postal code frame and address and name of the recipient. Limited to relevant mandatory indications. Among them, the essential display is the name and address of the recipient. That is, basically, the address and name of the recipient are displayed on a blank sheet of paper, and in some cases, displays related to postal services such as postal code frames are described.

As the base material for the leaf piece of the postcard with a label piece of the present invention, synthetic paper, non-woven fabric, resin film sheet, etc., as well as known printing paper (wooden paper, matte paper, coated paper, etc.) can be preferably used. can be done. Also, the basis weight, brand, etc. are arbitrarily selected.

Peelable adhesion of the label strip postcards of the present invention is accomplished by various pseudo-adhesive means, as follows. Sheets on which each of the following pseudo-adhesive means is formed are releasably adhered when folded and subjected to pressure or heat/pressure treatment.
1) The industry calls the pre-adhesion method, in which a quasi-adhesive adhesive whose main ingredient is natural or synthetic rubber is applied to the paper before printing, impregnated, and then printed from the surface.
2) The post-glue method in the industry, in which a pseudo-adhesive UV curable varnish is applied to the paper surface after printing to form a pseudo-adhesive film.
3) A method called the film method in the industry, in which the paper surface after printing is coated with a pseudo-adhesive film sheet. The film method consists of a sandwiching method in which a film sheet that has been quasi-adhered in advance is sandwiched between folded leaf pieces and then subjected to heat and pressure treatment to integrate them so that they can be peeled off. There is a full-surface pasting method in which the paper surface after printing is coated with it, and then the folded pseudo-adhesive layers are placed facing each other and then pressurized or heated and pressurized to integrate them so that they can be peeled off.

Folding machines or folding lines are preferably used as the folding means provided on the folding lines connecting the leaf pieces of the postcards with labels of the present invention. It can be folded into

Furthermore, folding and cutting means such as a perforation sewing machine or a micro-sewing machine are applied to the folding line connecting the uppermost leaf piece and the lower leaf piece of the postcard with the label piece of the present invention. In this way, the label strip can be separated after being peeled off from the leaf strips that make up the rest of the postcard body. There is no particular limitation on the ratio of cutting and uncutting of the micro-sewing machine or the tear-off sewing machine, and a ratio that allows easy tearing of both the postcard sheet and the covered film sheet is preferably employed.

According to the postcard with a label piece of the present invention, the conventional information writing surface is the 5th side of the 3-leaf piece and the remaining 1 side other than the address writing part, but the front and back 6 sides of the 3-leaf piece and the back side of the label piece. A total of 7 pages. Therefore, it becomes possible to transmit more information in a concealed state than before. In addition, despite the increase in the amount of information, the postage is extremely economical because the postage is that of a regular postcard.

In addition, the leaf on the uppermost surface is connected to the leaf on the lower side by a folding line, but since a separable means such as a cutting sewing machine or a micro sewing machine is applied to the folding line, it is broken and separated. can be easily done. Since the postcard side from which the uppermost leaf piece (label piece) has been peeled off can be unfolded in a flat state, the recipient can easily check the information inside, and the advertising effect can be further improved.

Furthermore, when manufacturing the postcards with label strips of the present invention, since it is possible to complete the process from one sheet of postcard paper to attaching the label strips in a consistent process, the personal information written on the postcard body and the label strips can be completed. Accidents due to discrepancies with recipients are eliminated, and deviations in sticking and detachment of labels are eliminated.

[Postcard with label H1]
The present invention will be explained below in an easy-to-understand manner with reference to the drawings.
In the following examples, a quasi-adhesive film sheet of a full-surface sticking method in the film method is used as the quasi-adhesive means.
As shown in FIGS. 1(A), (B) and FIGS. 2(A), (B) and (C), the postcard H1 with a label piece of Example 1 has a fourth leaf piece 4 and a first leaf piece 1 from the top. , the second leaf piece 2 and the third leaf piece 3 are folded in a rolled four-fold manner by repeating double-folding from the folding lines 7, 6 and 5. As shown in FIG. A pseudo-adhesive film sheet G is interposed between the opposing surfaces of the leaf pieces so that they can be peeled off.

As shown in FIG.
2nd leaf piece≈3rd leaf piece>2nd leaf piece>4th leaf piece, and the longitudinal width relationship is substantially the same. The left longitudinal edge of the second leaf 2 protrudes from the left longitudinal edge of the first leaf 1, and "POST CARD" or "postcard" is displayed on the exposed surface. In this case, the second leaflet 2 bearing the above indication is regarded as the body of the postcard . Further, the left longitudinal edge of the first leaf 1 protrudes from the left longitudinal edge of the fourth leaf 4, and an indication such as payment by the recipient, payment separately, payment afterward, etc. is written on the exposed surface.

A folding sewing machine is provided as a folding means provided on the folding lines (excluding the folding line 7) connecting the leaf pieces of the postcard H1 with the label piece. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. are formed on the postcard sheet S and the pseudo-adhesive film sheet G. However, it may be formed only on the postcard sheet S, or may be forcibly folded by a folding machine or the like without being formed at all. Further, folding lines may be used in place of the folding sewing machine.

The folding line 7 is formed with a tear-off perforation or a micro perforation that facilitates folding and separation. Although the ratio of cut and uncut of the micro sewing machine used in this embodiment is 1:0.5, it is not limited to this. In the case of a tear-off sewing machine, a ratio of about 2:1 is preferably adopted, but for either a micro-sewing machine or a tear-off sewing machine, any ratio may be used as long as folding is easy and separation is easy. .

The addressee of this postcard H1 with a label piece is a non-adhesive area where the quasi-adhesive film sheets G formed on the longitudinal edges of the facing surfaces of the leaf pieces are not adhered to each other, such as a step formed along the edge of the opening. can be picked up with fingers and rolled up as the beginning of peeling. Then, as shown in FIG. 2(B), the trifoliate piece on the side of the postcard folded in a Z-shaped cross section can be unfolded on a plane, and furthermore, as shown in FIG. A certain fourth leaf piece 4 can be separated from the connected third leaf piece 3 . The information written on the back surface of the fourth leaf piece 4 and various information written on the front and back surfaces of the other leaf pieces can be visually recognized through the transparent or translucent pseudo-adhesive film sheet G.

In addition to the postcards H1 with labels, the following forms can be preferably used.
For example, like the postcard H2 with a label piece shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the relationship of the width of each leaf piece is the second leaf piece≈the third leaf piece>the first leaf piece=the fourth leaf piece and the left side of the second leaf piece 2. Longitudinal edges may be exposed.

[Manufacturing method of label postcard H1]
3A and 3B, the first leaf piece 1, the second leaf piece 2, the third leaf piece 3, and the fourth leaf piece 4 are folded along the fold line 5. , 6 and 7 laterally joined together. The postcard sheet S may be printed on a long sheet used for business form printing or the like, or may be printed on a single sheet used for offset printing or the like.

When printing on a long sheet, for example, the unit postcard sheet S is printed continuously in the vertical direction so that the top and bottom sides are in contact, and marginal holes are provided on the outside of the first leaf piece 1 and the fourth leaf piece 4. parts are connected. In the case of printing on a single sheet, for example, a single or a plurality of unit postcard sheets are printed vertically arranged at intervals, and the four perimeters of each unit postcard sheet are surrounded by margins to be cut later.

Then, a pseudo-adhesive film sheet G is applied by a coating device such as a laminator to the pseudo-adhesive surfaces of the front and back surfaces of each leaf piece of the postcard sheet S printed as a long sheet or sheet, as shown in FIG. 4(A). Thus, the entire surfaces of the second leaf piece 2, the third leaf piece 3 and the fourth leaf piece 4, and about two-thirds of the first leaf piece are covered. Further, as shown in FIG. 1B, the entire back surface of the first leaf piece 1 and substantially the entire back surface of the second leaf piece 2 are also covered.

The postcard sheet S coated with the pseudo-adhesive film sheet G on its front and back surfaces is cut by a slitter or a die-cut roller in the case of a long sheet, or by a cutting machine or die-cutting machine in the case of a single sheet. After the sheet is cut and cut out, or after it is hung on a folding machine during cutting and finally folded into the state shown in FIG. Together with this, it is sent to an integrated device having a pair of pressure rollers at the outlet.

As for the order of folding, when the postcard sheet S is cut into individual pieces and then folded by a folding machine, the postcard sheet S can be folded in one stroke to the final folding mode of four-folding. Further, in the case of a long sheet or a sheet made into a long shape by continuous coating with a film sheet, as a first step, the surface of the first leaf piece 1 and the second leaf piece 2 from the folding line 6 is folded into the third leaf piece 3 and the fourth leaf piece. The leaf piece 4 is folded so as to face the surface. Then, in the second step, the back surface of the first leaf piece 1 is folded from the folding lines 5 and 7 (which overlap after being folded in the first step) so that the back surface of the second leaf piece 2 faces the back surface, as shown in FIG. 1(B). It is folded in a four-fold manner.

In the uniting device, the postcard sheet S passing in a folded state is subjected to pressure or heat/pressure treatment, and the quasi-adhesive film sheets G between the opposing leaf pieces are releasably adhered to form a postcard H1 with a label piece. It is completed.

Although the method of manufacturing the postcard with a label piece is described with the postcard with a label piece H1 as a model, it goes without saying that the postcard with a label piece H2 can also be manufactured in the same manner.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments.
For example, in the above-described embodiment, the film system of the full-surface pasting system is adopted as the pseudo-adhesive means constituting the postcard with a label piece. It doesn't matter if it is.
