Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a label continuum and a manufacturing apparatus for the same, and in particular, a label having holes formed at predetermined positions,
For example, the present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for manufacturing a label continuous body that is temporarily and peelably attached at intervals in the longitudinal direction of a strip-shaped release mount.

(Prior Art) Recently, it has been desired to develop an efficient manufacturing method of a label continuum formed by temporarily attaching a perforated label having holes formed on the label onto a release mount.

On the other hand, as a method for manufacturing a label continuum formed by temporarily attaching such a perforated label onto a release liner, by punching out the hole portion of the label together with the release liner,
There has been proposed a method for producing a label continuum in which a perforated label is temporarily attached on a release liner.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the label continuum manufactured by such a method for manufacturing a label continuum, since the hole portions of the label are punched out together with the release mount, the label continuum can be used together with the label. Holes will be formed. In such a label continuum, it is difficult to wind it into a roll and hold it.

In addition, when this label continuum is used by being loaded into an automatic label sticking machine that peels labels one by one from a peeling mount and automatically attaches them to an adherend, tension is applied to the peeling mount and the label. When the label was applied, the label was not peeled normally, and the shape of the label collapsed due to wrinkles in the vicinity of the label hole, and the label could not be accurately attached to the adherend. Therefore, such a method for producing a label continuum is not suitable for mass production,
The cost was high.

Therefore, a main object of the present invention is a method for producing a label continuum, which can efficiently mass-produce a label continuum formed by temporarily attaching a perforated label with holes formed on a release mount, and a label continuum. It is to provide the manufacturing apparatus.

(Means for Solving the Problem) A first invention is a step of forming a laminate by temporarily attaching a label base paper with an adhesive layer on a release liner, and forming a hole of a predetermined shape in the label base paper of the laminate. In order to do so, the step of forming a cut corresponding to the contour of the hole on the label base paper by punching from one main surface to the other main surface, and the hole surrounded by the cut corresponding to the contour of the hole of the label base paper. In order to separate the dregs portion and the laminate at the boundary surface between the adhesive layer and the release mount, only the dregs portion of the hole advances in the direction different from the advancing direction of the label base paper portion excluding the hole dust part due to its rigidity, The label base paper portion excluding the perforated dust portion guides the laminated body in a transport direction different from that of the perforated dust so that the label base paper portion does not separate from the laminated body when traveling in a direction different from the traveling direction of the perforated dust portion. Process and label base paper In order to form a predetermined label shape, die cutting from one main surface to the other main surface, forming a cut corresponding to the contour of the label on the label base paper, and unnecessary parts other than the label on the label base paper. And a step of separating the label from the label.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, a carrier for sequentially transporting a laminate formed by temporarily attaching a label base paper with an adhesive layer on the back side to a release mount, and stamping out the label base paper sent together with the release mount. The adhesive layer is peeled off by a die-cutting means for a label hole for forming a cut corresponding to the contour of a hole of a predetermined shape, a hole scrap portion surrounded by a cut corresponding to the contour of the label base paper, and the laminate. In order to separate at the boundary surface with the mount, the separating means for advancing only the hole dust portion by its rigidity in the direction different from the traveling direction of the label raw paper portion excluding the hole dust portion, and the label raw paper portion excluding the hole dust portion, A guide means for guiding the laminate in a transport direction different from that of the hole dust and a label sent together with the peeling mount so that the laminate is not separated from the laminate when traveling in a direction different from the moving direction of the hole dust. A label continuous body including a label die-cutting means for die-cutting the base paper to form a cut corresponding to the contour of the label of a predetermined shape, and a scrap removing means for separating unnecessary portions other than the label in the label base paper from the label. It is a manufacturing device.

(Operation and Effect of the Invention) According to the present invention, after a cut corresponding to the contour of a hole is formed in a label base paper, only a hole scrap portion surrounded by the cut is formed from a laminate composed of a release mount and a label base paper. A hole is formed only in the label base paper by moving the laminated body in the transfer direction so that the laminated body is separated from the laminated body by a guide means so as not to be peeled off from portions other than the hole scraps. That is, it is possible to manufacture a label continuum in which holes are formed only in the label without forming holes in the release liner.

Therefore, for example, even when the manufactured label continuum is loaded into an automatic label applicator and used, when the peeling mount and the label are tensioned, wrinkles do not improve the shape of the label. , Trouble can be prevented.

The above-mentioned objects, other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description of the embodiments with reference to the drawings.
