Description

[0001]
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a thermal pressure-sensitive copying slip for delivery which can copy and record data required for delivery of a package by thermal recording by a thermal printer, and is capable of recording not only thermal recording but also pressure-sensitive recording. Regarding copy slips.
[0002]
[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a delivery slip used in a parcel delivery business or the like is composed of two or more slips, and information is pressure-sensitively copied and recorded by handwriting directly on the slip. In recent years, in order to make it convenient for large senders to ship large quantities of packages, delivery information such as the address of the sender and destination and the contents of the package are input in advance to a computer, and a copy can be printed on a slip using a printer etc. Vouchers have also been developed. In particular, a copy slip capable of thermal transfer is strongly demanded because the printing speed is high and the information recording operation can be speeded up.
[0003]
For example, Japanese Patent Application No. 11-37129 proposes a thermal copy slip composed of a set of two sheets, a sheet to be attached to a package and a courier copy for receipt confirmation which can be separated therefrom. The two slips on which the delivery information is thermally copied by a thermal printer are affixed to the package, and only the copy for the delivery person is separated after delivery. This pair of thermal copy slips can be omitted from (1) the sender's copy because the delivery information is stored in the computer; (2) the information required by the delivery company at the relay point or the like can be bar-coded. By printing on a tag, for example, there is no need for an additional slip dedicated to a delivery company or a delivery person; and (3) there is an advantage that a rapid and quiet thermal copying method can be adopted for printing a copy slip.
Further, Japanese Patent Application No. 2000-366981 describes a heat-sensitive pressure-sensitive copying slip for delivery composed of a three-piece structure of a heat-sensitive member, an image receiving member and a tack sheet. It is characterized in that the desired slip can be easily separated from the other slip without being damaged by previously releasably adhering to the other slip.
[0004]
However, conventionally known thermal pressure-sensitive copy slips for delivery including those described in the above-mentioned publications do not have a pressure-sensitive copy column, and therefore, the contents which could not be entered by computer because they did not correspond to the entry items were added. Had to fill out each slip with handwritten information. In addition, since the copy for the sender was omitted, it was not possible to respond to the copy request from the sender.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a thermosensitive pressure-sensitive copying slip for delivery capable of copying and recording delivery information by thermal recording using a thermal printer or the like. It is also possible to provide a heat-sensitive pressure-sensitive copy slip for delivery.

Become composed. The first thermosensitive member 10, the second thermosensitive member 20, the image receiving member 30, and the tack sheet 40 will be described in detail below.
In the present invention, the first thermosensitive member 10, the second thermosensitive member 20, the image receiving member 30, and the tack sheet 40 are respectively composed of base sheets (A), (B), (C) and (D) (11 in FIG. 1). , # 21, # 31 and 41). Each of the base sheets 11, # 21, # 31, and 41 may be arbitrarily selected from, for example, a polyester film, a polycarbonate film, and a paper sheet, and may be the same material or different materials.
In particular, the base sheets (A) and (B) 11 and 21 each have a thickness of 25 to 60 g / m2.²It is preferred to use materials in the range 25g / m thickness²If it is thinner, workability is extremely deteriorated in the coating process for forming each layer on the upper and / or lower surface of the base paper, and conversely, 60 g / m²If the thickness is larger than the above, thermal conductivity of the thermal head of the thermal printer becomes poor, and as a result, it becomes difficult to achieve a sufficient transfer coloring density in the image receiving member 30.
[0008]
First heat-sensitive member
The first thermosensitive member 10 disposed at the top is a thermosensitive coloring layer capable of recording the information by receiving a thermal action corresponding to the information on at least a part of the upper surface of the base sheet (A) 11. It has 12. The thermosensitive coloring layer 12 contains a coloring agent and a color developing agent, and can be formed by a method usually used for forming a thermosensitive paper.

The carbonless pressure-sensitive copying layer mainly includes microcapsules containing an electron-donating color former. This is because, when an appropriate pressure (for example, writing pressure by handwriting using a ball-point pen or the like) is applied, the microcapsules collapse, and the contained color former is released, which is contained in the developer layer of the image receiving member. Since the color is developed by contact with the developer, a copy image of a desired color other than black can be obtained.
As the electron-donating color forming agent, any of the leuco dyes commonly used in the field of heat-sensitive paper and pressure-sensitive paper, that is, those listed above for the heat-sensitive color forming layer can be used. , Micro-encapsulation using a known micro-encapsulation method such as an in-situ polymerization method.

In the present invention, the thermal transfer layer 14 and the pressure-sensitive copy layer 18 are formed on the lower surface of the base sheet (A) 11 before or after the formation of the thermosensitive coloring layer 12, particularly preferably after the formation (FIG. 2). Either the thermal transfer layer 14 or the pressure-sensitive copying layer 18 may be formed first. Here, the case where the thermal transfer layer 14 is formed first will be described.
[0037]
The thermal transfer layer 14 contains a colorless or pale color developing agent and a heat-fusible substance.
The coloring agent can be preferably selected from those listed for the thermosensitive coloring layer 12 described above, and if a thermosensitive recording of a desired color is to be obtained, it is the same as the coloring agent contained in the thermosensitive coloring layer 12. May also be different.

The thermal transfer layer 14 is prepared by mixing the heat fusible substance and the leuco dye fine powder as a color former, adding a plasticizer as needed, and heat-melting them to uniformly disperse them. The coating liquid for the layer is applied on the lower surface of the base sheet (A) 11 using a flexographic or gravure printing plate in an amount of 2 to 10 g / m 2.²It is formed by applying with. At this time, the thermal transfer layer 14 is formed on at least a part of the lower surface of the base sheet (A) 11 corresponding to the thermosensitive coloring layer 12, and corresponds to the pressure-sensitive copying layer 13 formed in a subsequent step. It is formed excluding parts.
[0040]
The melting point and viscosity of the coating liquid for forming a thermal transfer layer used for forming the thermal transfer layer 14 can be usually adjusted by the type of the heat-fusible substance and the amount used. In this coating solution, the mixing ratio of the color former and the heat-fusible substance is preferably 3 to 15 parts by weight of the color former per 100 parts by weight of the heat-fusible substance, but is not particularly limited to this range. .

The pressure-sensitive copying layer 13 is coated with a desired carbon-based or non-carbon-based pressure-sensitive copying ink using a flexographic or gravure printing plate at an application amount of 2 to 10 g / m²It is formed by applying with.
[0042]
If desired, an overcoat protective layer may be formed so as to cover the thermosensitive coloring layer 12, the thermal transfer layer 14, and the pressure-sensitive copying layer 18 (not shown). The overcoat protective layer is preferably formed so as to cover the entire surface of the thermosensitive coloring layer 12, the thermal transfer layer 14, and the pressure-sensitive copying layer 18, except for a portion where the adhesive layer 50 is formed in a subsequent step. Particularly preferably, the overcoat protective layer is formed except for the designated location of the receipt stamp and the designated designated portion of the revenue stamp in the information entry column 80.
[0043]
For the formation of the overcoat protective layer, a conventionally used UV-curable ink can be used, and particularly, an overcoat ink containing a UV-curable resin which is dried and cured by light energy is preferably used. Examples of such inks include UV-curable inks described in JP-A-11-123870. The UV-curable overcoat ink mainly contains a UV-curable resin; a photopolymerization initiator; a sensitizer; and, if necessary, an extender pigment. Such UV-curable overcoat inks may be used as they are or as auxiliaries such as vaseline, matting agents, slip agents or defoamers used in conventionally known printing inks; and acrylic monomers, It may be used after further adding various auxiliaries effective for the UV curing reaction mechanism such as a chain transfer agent such as a prepolymer.
The overcoat ink may further contain a silicone-based lubricant such as an acrylate ester group-containing polysiloxane, a mercapto group-containing polysiloxane, or the like.
In the overcoat ink, in the manufacturing process, a large shear stress is partially applied during kneading of the above components so that the entire system does not become high temperature, and as a result, a polymerization reaction partially occurs. Care must be taken that there is no printing ink, but otherwise it can be produced in a manner similar to the printing inks commonly used in the art. Each of the inks is kneaded with a three-roll mill, a sand mill, a KD mill, a ball mill, or the like, and dispersed to form an ink.
The prepared overcoat ink is applied by a lithographic, letterpress, screen, gravure, flexographic printing method at an application amount of 0.1 to 2.5 g / m.²Is applied on each of the thermosensitive coloring layer 12, the thermal transfer layer and the pressure-sensitive copying layer, and then cured by irradiating ultraviolet rays to form the overcoat protective layers 15 and 16. The amount of the overcoat ink applied is 0.1 g / m²If less than 2.5 g / m2, it is not possible to sufficiently prevent unnecessary color contamination of the print recording section during storage or transport.²Is exceeded, the copying by the applied energy of the printer becomes insufficient.
