Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a normal postcard material for producing a normal postcard in a second-class mail item defined in the Postal Law.

[Conventional technology]

Conventional postcards have a lower postage rate than first-class mail items such as envelopes, but on the other hand, the amount of information transmitted is small and the confidentiality of information is not considered at all.

In addition, a postal letter for first-class mail is a combination of an envelope and a letter paper, but the postage is cheaper than a normal letter but higher than a postcard, and the fee for exchanging an unwritten letter is high. Since the glue margin has a shape protruding from the peripheral edge and is independent for each leaf, it cannot be used at all as continuous printing paper for continuously printing the output of a computer. There was a problem.

On the other hand, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 49-33930 discloses a postcard in which a pair of paper pieces in the form of postcards are detachably bonded with an adhesive.

However, in the case of this postcard, since both paper pieces have the same size and the edges of both paper pieces are completely adhered on the entire circumference after adhering, the peeling workability of both paper pieces when opening is poor. In addition, since both paper pieces are not continuous paper sheets but are separated into two pieces, even if both paper pieces are both used as the communication surface of the outgoing credit, the continuous information is divided into two pieces and displayed. There were problems such as unavoidable circumstances.

Furthermore, in this postcard, the adhesiveness remains on the peeled surface after peeling the two paper pieces, which causes discomfort to the recipient and filing and other handling are inconvenient.

Further, in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 61-28679, printed information is printed on one of a pair of opposing surfaces of a polymerized paper piece, and a transparent release sheet is irremovably adhered to the printed surface, and the other of the opposing surfaces is attached. Disclosed is a piece of polymerized paper capable of concealing transmitted information, which is formed by peelably adhering the transparent release sheet with an adhesive.

However, in the case of this polymerized paper piece, the adhesiveness remains on the peeled surface after peeling due to the use of the adhesive, and the transmitted information is displayed only on one of the facing surfaces, and the other of the facing surfaces is for concealing the transmitted information. However, it cannot be used as an information display surface, and there is a problem that the amount of information transmitted is limited.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a normal postcard that allows the recipient to easily create a normal postcard that is easy to peel off, spread, and handle after expansion.

Another object of the present invention is that it can be used at a low postage rate, can display a larger amount of information on a continuous paper surface than a conventional normal postcard, and can also be used for continuous printing by computer output. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a normal postcard from which a possible normal postcard can be easily produced.

[Technical means for solving problems]

The normal postcard material according to the present invention is composed of two leaves whose back surface can be folded inward at the center folding line, and the back surface of each leaf is on the outer peripheral edge excluding the center folding line or within the surface thereof. The non-bonded area back surface of the small area and the bonded area back surface of the large area excluding it are symmetrically divided with the center fold line in between.
The back surface of the adhesive area of each leaf is used as an information display surface, and a sheet material having at least a postcard or characters equivalent thereto displayed on the front surface of one leaf and two films can be peeled through a pseudo adhesive layer, and After peeling, the films are closely attached so that they cannot be re-adhered, and when the sheets are folded, each film is composed of a transparent pseudo-adhesive laminate that intervenes so as to irremovably adhere to the adhesive area back surface of each leaf. After folding the sheet material through the body, it normally satisfies the postcard standard including the dimensional standard and the weight standard.

As described above, the pseudo-adhesive laminate is made by releasably adhering two films via the pseudo-adhesive layer, and the pseudo-adhesive layer is, for example, pseudo-adhesive between the two films. It is formed by sandwiching the raw material film, heating and pressing. As such a pseudo-adhesive laminate, it is possible to employ, for example, one to which the adhesive structure of two films in the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet for a label disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 62-9280 is applied.

[Action]

In the above structure, the transfer information is displayed on the back surface of the bonding area of each leaf of the sheet material, and the necessary information is written on the front surface according to the description procedure for a general normal postcard. The classification of the non-bonding area back surface and the bonding area back surface on the back surface of each leaf may be displayed as necessary so as to contribute to the display of the above information and the next bonding step.

Such a sheet material is folded inward from the center fold line through the pseudo-adhesive laminate at the time of delivery, in which case each film of the pseudo-adhesive laminate is peeled off to the back surface of the adhesive area of each leaf of the sheet material. Insufficiently adhered by, for example, a heat-sensitive method or a pressure-sensitive strong adhesion method, so that the leaves of the sheet material are adhered and integrated except for the back surface of the non-adhesive area, and usually a postcard that satisfies the postcard standard is obtained.

There is no particular limitation on the formation mode or formation time of the pseudo-adhesive laminate. For example, the respective films of the pseudo-adhesive laminate may be adhered and integrated by a pseudo-adhesive layer in advance before folding the sheet material, or may be adhered and integrated simultaneously with the folding of the sheet material. . Further, for example, when a large amount of normal postcards in which the same information is displayed, such as direct mail, are created, a pseudo-adhesive laminate or each film thereof is formed on a sheet material before cutting in which predetermined information is printed in advance. For example, in the latter case, a pseudo adhesive raw material film may be further formed on one of the respective films.

The delivered normal postcard, on the recipient side, peels the back surface of each leaf from between both films and unfolds both leaves, and the transmitted information on each back surface is disclosed so that it can be read through the film. .

In the above peeling and spreading, when the back surface of the non-adhesive area is at the outer peripheral edge excluding the center fold line on the back surface of each leaf, the back surface of the non-adhesive area at the outer peripheral edge is pseudo when peeling the back surface of each leaf. This facilitates the discrimination of the boundary portion between the two films of the adhesive laminate and also serves as the beginning of the peeling operation. On the other hand, when the back surface of the non-adhesive area of each leaf is in the plane of the back surface of each leaf, both leaves of the sheet material are cut so as to pass through the back surface of the non-adhesive area before the peeling, so that the cut end Since the back surface of the non-bonding area similar to the above is exposed at the edge, the back surface of the non-bonding area at the cut edge becomes the start of peeling in the same manner. Therefore, in this normal postcard, although the pseudo-adhesive laminate having excellent adhesiveness is used as described above, peeling is easily performed starting from the back surface of the non-adhesive region.

In addition, after peeling off both leaves in the sheet material, after spreading,
As a result of the pseudo-adhesive laminate being peeled from the part of the pseudo-adhesive layer, each transparent film remains adhered on the back surface of both leaves, but the transmission information written on the back surface of both leaves is Since each film is readable through the film and each film does not have adhesiveness on the surface, re-adhesion does not occur even when both leaves are superposed through each film.
