Description

In particular, the present invention relates to a method for applying a label for blindfolding of a barcode and a blindfolding of a barcode that can reliably cancel the barcode of the price information before the price reduction that has been displayed at the time of price change, that is, price reduction execution. For labels.

    Traditionally in the retail distribution industry, “Rainy Day Service” and price reductions for products that are approaching their expiration date (also known as “Markdown”, “Closed Out”) have been performed. In spite of the announcement, the markdown is not carried out and the trust may be lost. As a means to prevent this, in addition to displaying the markdown, the price information before the price reduction is included. To prevent a bar code from being accidentally read at the cash register, you must blindfold at least part of the bar code and generate an error when you try to read the bar code. It is being made to realize that it must be done.

    In Patent Document 1, a product that is price-reduced with a bar code including price information before the price reduction is a portion that is brittle while attaching the blindfold of the price reduction barcode label on the barcode. A price-reduced price barcode label and a method of attaching the price-reduced price barcode label other than the blindfold are pasted on the product to be price-reduced.

  However, according to the invention of the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, since the barcode including the price information before the price reduction and the price-down price barcode label are respectively affixed to arbitrary positions on the product, the price barcode is registered at the cash register. When scanning, it is necessary to distinguish the barcode, and there is a drawback that the operation becomes complicated.

    In addition, since the price-reduced price barcode label part (blindfolded part) is cut and pasted to the barcode that includes the price information before the price cut, the blindfolded part is accidentally stuck to a part other than the barcode. If it does, it will be easy to tear as it is, and there also exists a problem that handling is difficult.

In addition, when a blindfold is pasted on a barcode that includes price information before the price cut, if the blindfold is small, part of the barcode's top and bottom width cannot be completely hidden, resulting in a continuous portion of the barcode. There was a problem that it could be removed.
JP 2000-344218 A

The present invention has been made paying attention to the above-mentioned problem, and in order to prevent forgetting discounts at the cash register for price-reduced products (off-line products), the barcode information that can reliably cancel the price information before the price reduction. The present invention intends to provide a method for applying a blindfold label and a label for blindfolding a barcode.

In order to solve the above problems, a method for applying a label for blindfolding a barcode according to the present invention includes a wide first blindfold portion having a rectangular shape, and a rectangular shape having a narrower width than the first blindfold portion. A first blindfold projecting from the first blindfold, or a second blindfold, wherein the third blindfold is formed by the first blindfold and the second blindfold. Select and paste the first through third blindfolds that match the width of the barcode so that the second or third blindfold is placed on the barcode containing the price information before the price reduction for the target product. The bar code of the price before the price reduction is made unreadable.
Further, the first blindfold and the second blindfold can be integrally formed in a shape that is substantially L-shaped.
Further, the first blindfold and the second blindfold are integrally formed in a straight line, and the linear long side can be used as the third blindfold.
Furthermore, the label for blindfolding of the barcode according to the present invention has a wide first blindfold portion having a rectangular shape and a second blindfold portion having a rectangular shape and narrower than the first blindfold portion. The label body formed and formed with the third blindfold portion by the first blindfold portion and the second blindfold portion, the protruding first blindfold portion, second blindfold portion, or third Select and paste the first to third blindfolds that match the width of the barcode so that the blindfold of the item is placed on the barcode containing the price information before the price reduction for the target product, It is used for the method which makes unreadable.

According to the present invention, the wide first blindfold and the narrow second blindfold are integrally formed, and the third blindfold is formed by the first blindfold and the second blindfold. Using the label body made, the first blindfold, or the second blindfold, or the third blindfold of the long side portion is applied to the barcode including the price information before the price reduction in the target product, Since the first to third blindfolds corresponding to the width of the barcode are selected and pasted, it is impossible to read the barcode including the price before the price reduction of several kinds of top and bottom widths with one label body Therefore, it is possible to prevent scanning (reading) a barcode including price information before the price reduction by mistake.

Also, if the first blindfold and the second blindfold are integrally formed in a substantially L-shaped shape, the first and second blindfolds protrude, so the price information before the price reduction When the person in charge of production, expiry date, raw material name, and PR information are written next to the included barcode, it is possible to eliminate the inconvenience that the label itself covers up the useful information, and to utilize the useful information Can be planned.

In addition, if the first blindfold and the second blindfold are integrally formed in a straight line and the long side of the straight line is the third blindfold, a barcode that includes price information before price reduction is included. As a result, it is possible to cover the wide area of the front end portion or the central portion of the bar code, making it impossible to read the barcode more reliably.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIGS. 1 to 5 are views showing an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is an explanatory view showing a state in which a plurality of label main bodies 1 serving as blindfold labels are temporarily attached to a mount 2.
The label body 1 is plain on the front side, and the back side is temporarily attached to the mount 2 via an adhesive (not shown). Further, the label main body 1 protrudes in the same manner as the first blindfold 3 that is wide and protrudes. It has a narrow second blindfold 4 and has a substantially L shape so that the rectangular first blindfold 3 and the rectangular second blindfold 4 protrude in the direction of 90 degrees. Are integrally formed. The width of the first blindfold portion 3 is L1, the width of the second blindfold portion 4 is L2, and the widths L1 and L2 are each of the “barcode width” in the vertical direction of “barcode” described later. It is formed slightly larger than the barcode width used. Further, one side (long side portion) of the L-shaped longitudinal direction is L3, and the other side (short side portion) of the L-shaped short side direction is L4, and the widths L1, L2 and side L3, The relationship between the lengths of L4 is L3>L4>L1> L2.
When the price is changed, that is, when the price is reduced (marked down), the label body 1 is peeled off from the mount 2 and pasted on the “barcode of the price before the price reduction” to cover a part of the barcode, It is intended to prevent scanning (reading).

Next, the use state of the blindfold label (label main body) 1 will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.
FIG. 2 is a schematic perspective explanatory view showing a state in which the food label 11 and the product price cut label 12 are attached to the surface of the food product as the target product 10 that is wrapped and wrapped on a tray (not shown).
The food label 11 includes a bar code including information such as a product name, a processing date, an expiration date, a price, a manufacturer and a seller, and price information before the price reduction (hereinafter simply referred to as “bar code before price reduction” as appropriate) 13) is displayed.
On the other hand, the product price reduction label 12 is a bar code including a price reduction range (in the example shown, “20% discount of display price”) and price reduction price information (hereinafter simply referred to as “price reduction price bar code” as appropriate). 14 is displayed and is pasted separately from the previous food label 11.
When the above-mentioned target product 10 is settled at the cash register, both the bar code 13 before the price reduction of the food label 11 and the price reduction barcode 14 of the product price reduction label 12 are mixed, so when reading with a scanner (reading device) If the clerk makes a mistake and scans (reads) the barcode 13 before the price reduction, the price reduction is not performed, so the barcode 13 before the price reduction is to be hidden.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory view showing a state in which the label main body 1 as a blindfold label is attached to the bar code 13 before price reduction of the food label 11. As shown in the figure, the first blindfold part 3 that is slightly wider than the barcode width in the vertical direction of the barcode 13 before the price reduction is selected in the label main body 1 and before the price reduction at the protruding width L1 portion. The bar code 13 is pasted so as to cover the tip. Thus, the barcode 13 before the price reduction is covered with the first blindfold 3 of the label main body 1 corresponding to the barcode width in the vertical direction of the barcode 13 before the price reduction, so that the barcode 13 cannot be read reliably. It becomes a state. For this reason, even if the merchandise price reduction label 12 is pasted, even if the clerk reads the food label 11 by mistake at the cash register, it cannot be read, so the existence of another label (product price cut label) 12 is known. Therefore, forgetting to lower the price at the cash register can be prevented.
Further, since the leading end portion of the bar code 13 before the price reduction is covered with the L-shaped protruding first blindfold 3, the expiry date displayed adjacent to the bar code 13 is determined by the JAS law. Necessary information is displayed without being hidden.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory view corresponding to FIG. 3 showing another example of use of the label main body 1 as a blindfold label. As shown in the figure, an example is shown in which the tip portion of the bar code 16 before the price reduction of the food label 15 is covered with the second blindfold portion 4 of the label main body 1. The food label 15 is made smaller than the previous food label 11. This is smaller when the size of a container such as a tray (not shown) on which the target product 10 is placed differs depending on the size, type, content, etc. of the target product 10 and the area for displaying the “label” is reduced. This is because the food label 15 needs to be downsized in accordance with the area. In other words, it is a measure to make it difficult to see the contents when the "label" displayed on the large tray (not shown) is displayed on the surface, even though the tray (not shown) is reduced and the display area is reduced. If the label is downsized, the ratio (size) of the bar code 16 before price reduction in the food label 15 also decreases.
In this usage example, the bar code 16 before the price reduction is pasted so as to cover the tip part of the bar code 16 before the price reduction at the width L2 portion of the protruding second blindfold 4 corresponding to the bar code width in the vertical direction. Therefore, the bar code 16 is reliably unreadable.
Further, since the protruding second blindfold 4 covers the leading end of the bar code 16 before price reduction, necessary information such as the name of the store handled and the like determined by the JAS method is displayed without being hidden.

    FIG. 5 is an explanatory view corresponding to FIG. 3 showing still another example of use. In this usage example, the bar code 13 is pasted so as to cover the central portion of the bar code 13 with an L-shaped short side L4 corresponding to the bar code width in the vertical direction of the bar code 13 before the price reduction of the food label 11. . Since the central part of the barcode 13 is covered with the short side portion L4 corresponding to the barcode width in the vertical direction of the barcode 13 before the price reduction, the “barcode” becomes discontinuous, and the barcode 13 is reliably unreadable.

Another embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7.
In the following description, the same parts as those in the previous embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.
FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing a state in which a plurality of label main bodies 21 serving as blindfold labels are temporarily attached to the mount 2. As shown in the figure, the label main body 21 has a substantially convex shape in which a rectangular and wide first blindfold 23 and a second narrow and narrow blindfold 24 project in the longitudinal direction. Are connected and integrally formed. The width of the first blindfold portion 23 is L1, the width of the second blindfold portion 24 is L2, and the length in the longitudinal direction (long side portion) is L3. The widths L1, L2, Each L3 is formed to be slightly larger than the commonly used barcode width among the “barcode width” in the vertical direction of the barcode 13 before the price reduction.
Next, a usage example of the label main body 21 will be mainly described with reference to FIG.
This shows an example in which the first blindfold portion 23 of the label body 21 covers and conceals the leading end portion of the bar code 13 before the price reduction of the food label 11. That is, it is pasted so as to cover the front end portion of the barcode 13 before price reduction at the width L1 portion of the protruding first blindfold 23 corresponding to the barcode width in the vertical direction of the barcode 13 before price reduction, The bar code 13 is reliably unreadable.
Further, the label main body 21 itself is connected in the longitudinal direction, and when the leading end portion of the barcode 13 before the price reduction is covered by the protruding first blindfold portion 23, the other second blindfold portion 24 is Since it protrudes toward the outside of the food label 11, the necessary information defined by the JAS law such as the expiration date is displayed without being hidden even in the above modification.
Furthermore, when the central portion of the barcode 13 before the price reduction is covered by the first blindfold 23, the area to be covered increases, so that the barcode 13 can be read more reliably.
About another structure, an effect | action, and an effect, since it is the same as that of previous embodiment, detailed description is abbreviate | omitted.

It should be noted that the configuration and operation of the above-described embodiment are examples, and it goes without saying that they can be changed as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
