Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an information recording card (hereinafter referred to as a card) used in banks, department stores, hospitals, etc., and particularly relates to a paper card whose base material is paper. The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a manufactured card.

[Prior art]

Various cards such as credit cards, quick cards, patient tickets, parking cards, etc. have been used in banks, department stores, hospitals, parking lots, etc., and in particular cards with striped magnetic layers for automatic reading. is being widely used.

Currently, the mainstream of this type of card is plastic cards, which have excellent durability, but these plastic cards have smooth surfaces and poor printability or writing characteristics.
When issuing a card, it was difficult to write the name and other necessary information on the card, and even if it was written, it would peel off within a short period of time.

Moreover, the unit price per card is high, and the card is not suitable for use as a disposable card even if used for a short period of time, so it has the disadvantage that its range of use is limited.

Therefore, recently, there has been an increasing demand for paper cards, which are easy to write on when issued and are inexpensive, in place of the above-mentioned plastic cards.

By the way, these cards comply with the JIS standard (JIS standard).
B9560), the thickness is specified as 167 ± 0.1 mm, so if this card is manufactured using paper, there are reasons why cardboard with a thickness of about 0.7 mm is not currently commercially available, and reasons for work suitability. From, 0.3~
It was necessary to manufacture it by pasting together two sheets of 0.4mm paper.

In addition, since the information content of these cards is read by a card reader, the formation of the striped magnetic layer requires high precision in its formation position. It was hot.

In view of these demands, conventional paper cards have been manufactured by the following method.

That is, as shown in FIG. 5, a plurality of images b for the front surface of the card are formed on one surface of the sheet-like mount a at appropriate intervals, and stripes are formed in register on the images b for the front surface of the card. magnetic tape c
are laminated together to produce the surface sheet d.

Incidentally, the order of forming the front image b and the magnetic tape c may be arbitrary.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG.
After forming a plurality of images f for the back side of the card at the same intervals as the images b for the front side on one side of the card and manufacturing a sheet g for the back side, as shown in FIG.
The above sheet d for the front side and the sheet g for the back side are laminated with their back sides facing inwards, and in register so that the image b for the front side and the image for the back side f overlap each other to produce a laminated sheet h. do.

Next, this laminated sheet h was accurately punched out from the surface sheet d in alignment with the formation position of the magnetic tape c to obtain a plurality of paper cards i as shown in FIG. .

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, in this conventional method, when pasting the front sheet d and the back sheet g, it is extremely difficult to accurately position the pasting without error, and the front image b and the back image f Since the bonding was performed with the position slightly shifted, the following drawbacks were encountered.

That is, in this conventional method, when punching the card i from the laminated sheet h, the punching position is aligned with the position of the magnetic tape c, so that the front sheet d and the back sheet g
There was a drawback in that errors in the bonding position appeared on the back side of the card i, resulting in uneven image formation positions on the back side of each card i.

Therefore, when issuing a card, when predetermined information such as names and numbers are printed on both the front and back sides of Card i using a computer printer, the printed surface on the back side of the card may be deviated from the predetermined position. In some cases, this has caused a significant deterioration in the quality and value of the card.

In addition, in a card in which magnetic tape c is formed on both the front and back sides of card i, the magnetic tape c on the back side is
This type of card has the drawback that this conventional method cannot be applied because errors may also occur in the forming position of the card, which may prevent the card reader from operating accurately.

Furthermore, in this conventional method, when a card i is punched out from the laminated sheet h, a slight burr j is generated around the back side of the card i, which protrudes in the punching direction. This was a cause of deterioration of the quality value of the product.

[Means and actions for solving problems]

The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned problems, and by forming an image for the front side of the card and an image for the back side of the card adjacent to each other on one side of the same sheet-like mount, the above-mentioned problem is solved. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for manufacturing a paper card in which there is no misalignment in the positional relationship between an image for the front side and an image for the back side.

That is, in the present invention, a front card base material on which a front image is formed and a back card base material on which a back image is formed are laminated together with the back side facing inside, and a striped magnetic layer is formed on at least one side of the card base material. In the method for manufacturing a paper card, the front image and the back image are formed adjacent to each other on one surface of a sheet-like mount, and a stripe is formed on at least one of the image surfaces. Next, a folded portion is formed between the above-mentioned two images, and both the above-mentioned images are punched out from the above-mentioned sheet-like mount to obtain a card base for both sides, and this card base for both front and back sides is formed. The material is bent from the above-mentioned bending part and pasted together with the back side facing inside, thereby eliminating the misalignment of the positional relationship between the above-mentioned image for the front side and the image for the back side of the paper card, and thereby making it possible to use the above-mentioned various methods. This eliminates the drawbacks of

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. A striped magnetic tape 4 is printed and aligned on the surface image 2 and pasted thereon.

As with the conventional method, the order in which the images 2 and 3 are printed and the magnetic tape 4 is pasted is arbitrary, and the magnetic tape 4 may also be pasted onto the image 3 for the back side.

Further, as the sheet-like mount 1, any paper such as plain paper or synthetic paper can be used. Examples include high-grade white paperboard with a thickness of 0.36 mm (product name: Suncard manufactured by Oji Paper Co., Ltd.) and paperboard with a thickness of 0.37 mm. Nisshinbo synthetic paper (trade name: Pichicoat, manufactured by Nisshinbo Co., Ltd.), etc.

Next, the sheet-like mount 1 is put through a punching machine, and the images 2 and 3 are punched out from the mount 1 in register with the formation position of the magnetic tape 4, and a half cut is made between each image 2 and 3. A folded portion 5 is formed to produce a double-sided card base material 6 as shown in FIG. 2A.

Next, as shown in FIG. 2B, after applying adhesive 7 to the back side of this double-sided card base material 6,
From the above-mentioned folded part 5, bend the back side inward (Fig. 2C), and press and bond from both sides,
A card 8 shown in FIG. 2D is obtained.

In this way, in the present invention, the sheet-like mount 1
This is because the image 2 for the front side and the image 3 for the back side are printed adjacent to each other in advance on one side, and the card 8 is made by folding from the folding part 5 provided between each image 2 and 3. Unlike the conventional method, there is no possibility that the positional relationship between the front side image 2 and the back side image 3 of the card 8 is shifted from each other.

Moreover, the burrs generated when punching out the images 2 and 3 from the sheet-like mount 1 are hidden on the adhesive surface side and do not appear on the outer surface of the card 8, so that the quality value of the card 8 can be significantly improved.

FIG. 3 shows an example of an apparatus for continuously carrying out part of the manufacturing process of the present invention, in which adhesive is applied to the back side of the front and back double-sided card base material 6 using a coating machine 9. The card 8 is then folded by a folding machine (not shown) while being conveyed by a conveyor belt 10, and inserted between pressure rolls 11, 11 to form a card 8.

FIGS. 4A and 4B show a modification of the front and back double-sided card base material 6 shown in FIG.
2, a pressure-sensitive adhesive 13 is formed on the back side thereof, and a release paper 14 is adhered thereon.

In addition, when using hot melt adhesive,
The release paper 14 is not necessary.

This double-sided card base material 6, which is a semi-finished card product, exhibits remarkable effects when used in the following manner.

That is, when the release paper 14 is peeled off and the card 8 is folded from the folding part 5, the facial photograph 15 is interposed in the adhesive part, so that the card can be easily printed at the card issuing counter as shown in FIG. 4C. It can be a card 8 with a photo.

Moreover, by printing the double-sided card base material 6 on a printer, necessary information to be formed on both sides of the card 8 can be simultaneously printed, so that the card issuing time can be significantly shortened.

Therefore, the utility value of this card base material 6 for both front and back sides can be increased, and it can be shipped to the market as a semi-finished card product.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, the present invention forms an image for the front side and an image for the back side adjacent to each other on one surface of a sheet-like mount, and forms a striped magnetic layer on at least one image surface. Next, a folded part is formed between the above-mentioned two images, and both images are punched out from the above-mentioned mount to obtain a card base material for both sides, and this base material is folded from the above-mentioned folded part and pasted together. This method of obtaining paper cards has various effects as shown below.

First, in the card obtained by the present invention, the images for the front side and the images for the back side are not formed with their positions shifted from each other, so unlike the conventional method, the image formation positions on the back side of the card are uneven. It never becomes.

For this reason, it is possible to easily manufacture cards with striped magnetic layers on both the front and back sides using paper as a base material, which was difficult to do with conventional methods, and burrs generated during punching can be easily produced on the adhesive surface. Since it is hidden to the side and does not appear on the outer surface of the card, combined with the above effects, the quality and value of the card can be significantly improved.

In addition, in the conventional method, when bonding the front sheet and the back sheet, there is a risk of erroneously attaching the top and bottom sheets, but with the present invention, this can be completely eliminated. ,and,
Since the image for the front side and the image for the back side are simultaneously formed on a single sheet of paper, the cost of plate making and printing plate can be reduced to half of the conventional cost, and both images are formed adjacent to each other. It is possible to reduce the number of cut portions of the mount that occur during punching, improve the material yield, and lower the unit manufacturing cost of the card.

In addition, in the conventional method, a front sheet and a back sheet are pasted together to form a laminated sheet, and then a card is punched out using a flat-pressure punching machine with a slow working speed, whereas in the present invention, Since the image for the front side and the image for the back side are simultaneously punched out from the sheet-like mount before pasting, the thickness of the paper at the time of punching can be reduced to half of the conventional thickness.

Therefore, the practical effects of the present invention are great, such as being able to use a high-speed rotary punching machine that is difficult to apply to cardboard, and significantly improving the working speed.
