Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a label manufacturing method and a label for displaying products, which are attached to a bottle.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a shrink film for packaging may be used as an equivalent of a "label" for displaying necessary product information such as a product name and a raw material name on a bottle. In this method, the product information is printed in advance, and the bottle is covered with a shrink film formed into a tubular shape, and is fixed in a shape along the outer shape of the bottle by applying heat.

[0003] However, the display of product information using a shrink film is not very preferable for foods because it is fixed to a bottle by heat processing. It is not suitable for displaying product information.

[0004] For this reason, labels as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, for example, have been used for displaying products of small and medium enterprises. The label 50 is often made of coated paper or the like from the viewpoint of ease of printing, price, and the possibility of producing a small lot.
Desired information required for product display, such as a raw material name 54, a product description 56, and a bar code 58, is printed. Further, a double-sided tape 60 is attached to one end of the front surface, and a surface in contact with the outside is covered with a peeling member (not shown) so that the double-sided tape 60 does not stick to other members. When such a label 50 is displayed on the bottle 62, the peeling member (not shown) of the double-sided tape 60 is peeled off and wound around the bottle 62, and the other end of the double-sided tape 60 is overlaid on the double-sided tape 60. Fixed to.

By the way, in the case of the conventional label 50, the both ends are wrapped around the bottle 62 and both ends are overlapped with the double-sided tape 60. Therefore, for example, it is effective for the bottle 62 whose body portion is thin and concave as shown in FIG. However, the fixing state is unstable for bottles described later, which have a body part formed with a similar thickness without dents, which is commonly used, and especially for bottles with a smooth surface. When using it, there was a concern that it would slip and slip down.

[0006] For this reason, for a bottle having a body portion of the same thickness without a depression, it is necessary to use a label in which glue is applied to the entire back surface and stick the entire label through the glue. Was fixed to the bottle.

However, the target bottle, ie,
A bottle 62 in which a hollow body portion is formed and a bottle in which a body portion is formed with a similar thickness without a hollow described later,
Depending on the type of the label, a label 50 using a double-sided tape 60 and a label coated on the back surface (not shown)
Since it was necessary to produce different types, there was a problem that not only inventory management was difficult, but also proper use at the time of work was difficult.

In addition, since the paper label is wound around the bottle, there is a problem that it is difficult to confirm the reduction of the contents from outside.

[0009]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and is directed to a type of bottle, that is, a bottle having a hollow body portion and a bottle having no hollow. It is an object of the present invention to provide a label manufacturing method which can be used for both types of bottles having a body part formed with a large thickness and which can confirm the degree of reduction of contents from outside. A further object of the present invention is to provide a label manufactured using such a manufacturing method.

[0010]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a method for producing a label according to the present invention comprises: laminating a transparent film substrate on which an adhesive layer is formed while conveying a transparent film mount in a conveying direction. Bonding step (a) and printing desired product information on the transparent film substrate (b)
And (c) providing a cutter blade which can be appropriately positioned in a direction intersecting the transport direction of the transparent film mount, slitting the transparent film mount in the transport direction with the cutter blade, and (D) cutting into a desired label size. Further, the label according to the present invention is a label for product display to be attached to a bottle, a transparent film mount, and a transparent film substrate temporarily attached to the transparent film mount via an adhesive layer, The transparent film mount is divided into a fixed-end mount located at one end and a container-attaching mount other than the fixed-end mount, and only the fixed-end mount is peeled off and wound around a bottle. It can be displayed on the bottle by being superimposed on the other end of the base material, and can be displayed by peeling off the fixed end mount and the container sticking mount and attaching to the bottle. Further, the fixed end mount and the container attaching mount can be separated from each other by slits.

According to the present invention, when affixed to a bottle having a hollow body portion, only the fixed end mount is peeled off, wound around the bottle, and superimposed on the other end of the transparent film substrate. Can display product information on the bottle,
In addition, since the product information can be displayed by peeling off both the fixed end mount and the container sticking mount and sticking it to the bottle, it is possible to display with one label irrespective of the shape of the body portion. Since both the mount and the transparent film substrate temporarily attached to the transparent film mount via the adhesive layer are made of a transparent film, the contents of the bottle can be easily checked.

[0012]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In addition, the same reference numerals are given to the same portions as those in the related art, and the detailed description is omitted.

FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a label according to an embodiment of the present invention. The label 2 has a product name 52, a raw material name 54, a product description 56, and a bar code 58 on the surface.
Desired product information necessary for product display is printed.

FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the label 2 shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, the label 2 includes a transparent film backing 4, a transparent film base 8 temporarily attached to the transparent film backing 4 via an adhesive layer 6, and And a printing layer 10 formed on the substrate.

The transparent film mount 4 is made of a transparent film, and has a slit 12 formed at one end thereof in a later-described transport direction (the direction of arrow F in FIG. 1). The slit 12 is formed between the upper transparent film substrate 8 and the adhesive layer 6.
The transparent film mount 4 is formed so as to cut only the transparent film mount 4, and the slit 12 allows the transparent film mount 4 to be fixed to the fixed end mount 4 a located at one end and the other container attaching mount 4 b. And can be separated into.

The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 6 is made of a highly transparent material.

The transparent film substrate 8 is desirably made of a material having high transparency, for example, transparent PET 16μ or the like is used.

The printing layer 10 is made of the above-mentioned product name 5
2, a layer on which product information such as a raw material name 54, a product description 56, and a bar code 58 is printed.

As described above, since all of the transparent film mount 4, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 6, and the transparent film substrate 8 are made of a highly transparent material, visibility through the label 2 is improved.

Next, a label manufacturing method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 3 shows an outline of a continuous body manufacturing machine used in the label manufacturing method according to the present embodiment.
The backing sheet supply unit 14 includes the continuous transparent film backing sheet 4.
Is wound. Further, a continuous body in which the transparent PET film 20 is temporarily attached to the mount 18 via the adhesive layer 6 is wound around the base material supply unit 16, and at the same time when the mount 4 is sent to the winding unit 22. , Transparent PET film 20
Is separated from the backing sheet 18 and supplied to the bonding portion 24.
In the bonding portion 24, the transparent PET film 20 is temporarily attached on the transparent film mount 4 via the adhesive layer 6. The mount 18 is wound around the mount winding unit 28 via the guide roller 26. In this manner, the continuous body 30 in which the three-layer structure of the transparent PET film 20, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 6, and the transparent film mount 4 is formed from the upper layer side in the winding portion 22.
Is wound up.

Further, in FIG. 4, the continuous body 30 wound in the previous step is mounted on the supply section 32, and is passed through the printing section 34, the slit forming section 36, and the cutting section 38 to form a stacker 40.
To supply. In the continuum 30, the desired product information is printed by the printing unit 34, and the slit forming unit 3
In FIG. 6, a slit 12 (see FIG. 1) is formed on the back side, that is, only on the transparent film mount 4 by a cutter blade (not shown). The cutter blade (not shown) can be appropriately set at an arbitrary position in the width direction W in FIG. 1 (in FIG. 4, the direction from the near side to the far side). That is, a cutter blade (not shown) for slitting the transparent film mount 4 is supported by a known arm or the like and can be moved and adjusted so that it can be positioned at a desired position in the width direction W. Then, the continuous body 30 having the slits 12 formed in the transport direction F of the transparent film mount 4 is transported at a predetermined pitch, cut into a desired label size set in advance by the cutting unit 38, and the single leaf label 2 (see FIG. 1) is stored in the stacker 40 one by one.

Next, an example of use of the label 2 will be described with reference to FIGS.

As shown in FIG. 6, when the label 2 is attached to a bottle 64 having a body portion having the same thickness without a depression, as shown in FIG. By peeling off both the backing material 4 of the backing material 4a and the backing paper 4b of the container,
The commodity information is displayed on the bottle 64 by exposing the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 6 and winding and attaching the adhesive layer 6 on the bottle 64. As described above, the entire back surface of the transparent film substrate 8, namely, the fixed end mount 4a and the container attaching mount 4
The entire label is attached to the bottle 64 via the adhesive layer 6 on the label base material 8 from which both the mounts 4 have been peeled off, and the fixed state is ensured. Moreover, since the label is attached to the bottle 64 via the transparent film substrate 8 and the transparent pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 6, the visibility of the bottle 64 is good even through the label, and it is confirmed that the contents of the bottle 64 are reduced. It becomes possible.

On the other hand, when the label 2 is used for a bottle 62 (see FIG. 8) having a hollow body, only the fixed end mount 4a is peeled off, and the adhesive layer 6 is partially exposed.
By wrapping around the bottle 62 and superimposing it on the other end, it is possible to display on the bottle 62. Therefore, it is possible to display like a conventional case where the label is wrapped around and superimposed on the other end, and wrinkles caused by pasting the entire surface are eliminated It is unlikely to happen. Moreover, the container-attaching mount 4b, which is not peeled off, is a mount made of a transparent film even when wound around the bottle 62, and the visibility of the bottle 62 through the transparent film substrate 8 and the transparent film mount 4 is impaired. Since there is no bottle, it is also possible to confirm how much the contents of the bottle 64 are reduced. Furthermore, the width of the fixed end mount 4a can be changed by the position of the slit 12, that is, the position of the slit 12 can be set arbitrarily in the width direction W of FIG. The width of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 6 that is peeled off and partially exposed can be adjusted, and thus the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 6 having an appropriate width can be adjusted regardless of a change in the width direction W of the label 2 itself. Can be exposed.

As described above, when the label 2 is used for the bottle 62 having a hollow body portion, or when the bottle 6 has a body portion having a similar thickness without a hollow portion.
When the label 2 is used as the label 4, there is no need to prepare two types of labels as in the related art, and only the fixed end mount 4a is peeled off, or both the fixed end mount 4a and the container attaching mount 4b are used. Can be dealt with by peeling off the backing sheet 4 of the first embodiment, so that the number of types of labels to be managed and stored can be reduced.

[0027]

As described above, according to the present invention,
It has a transparent film substrate temporarily attached to a transparent film mount via an adhesive layer, and the transparent film mount is divided into a fixed end mount and a container sticking mount, each of which can be peeled off. Can be displayed on the bottle by peeling off only the other end, and the fixed end mount and the container sticker mount can be peeled off and the whole can be affixed to the bottle. There is an effect that can be.
