Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mail form that can be used for secret postcards and the like, and particularly to a mail form that is peeled from the adhesive layer after the adhesive layer is formed on almost the entire planned adhesion surface of the base material. It's about forms. It can be used for confidential notifications from financial institutions, government agencies, public companies, etc.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, sealed letters have been used for confidential notices from financial institutions, government agencies, public companies, and the like. As for such envelopes, a tri-fold mail form in which the mail form itself is folded and the periphery is sealed to form an envelope is currently the mainstream. This tri-fold mail form prints confidential information such as deposit balance and loan amount, and leaves it in the form of an envelope as it is. Therefore, enclosing and sealing work is not necessary, and the recipient and the confidential information can be matched reliably. . Further, since the destination and the secret information can be printed on the same surface, it can be printed at once by a high-speed printer such as a non-impact printer (hereinafter referred to as NIP), and efficient processing can be performed. However, since the tri-fold mail form seals the peripheral portion with a pressure-sensitive adhesive, it is handled as an envelope by the postal method, and the postage is higher than postcards. On the other hand, notifications of payment of pensions and reminder letters of unpaid taxes are often notified by postcards, and there have been many complaints that privacy cannot be protected.

In order to solve this problem, a special pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is formed on almost the entire planned surface of the base material to form a mail form, which is folded in two or three in a Z shape to form a postcard. , It may be mailed as a postcard with confidential information hidden.

[0004]

In the postcard in which the secret information is hidden, a special pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is formed on almost the entire planned surface of the base material to form a mail form, and the mail form is folded or folded in two. In some cases, it is mailed as a postcard in which confidential information is concealed by folding it into three postcards. But,
Even in this postcard, after printing the data at the office center or the like and folding the postcard in two or three to conceal the confidential information, it was impossible to additionally write in other sections. If additional information is added to other sections, the additional information cannot be added because the additional information is visible from outside. Therefore, if the billing date and the handling date are different at each business office, it is not possible to print the data collectively at the office center or the like, which reduces the efficiency. In addition, the person in charge at each sales office could not confirm the hidden data of the customer, and there was a question about the matching of the destination and the confidential information.

[0005]

The above-mentioned problems can be solved by the present invention described below. (Claim 1) A base material is adhered by pressure to at least almost the entire surface to be adhered, and a printable adhesive layer is formed,
A mail form that folds back the base material and adheres the adhesive layers on opposite surfaces to each other by pressure, and then peels from the adhesive layer, and is a part of the base material that is folded back to conceal data. A through hole (14) is provided, and a write-once area (2) is formed on the base material surface (12) facing the base material (13) on the side where the through-hole (14) is provided, and the write-once area (2) is formed. By making the positions of the through hole (14) and the through hole (14) coincide with each other, the additional write area (2) is removed from the through hole (14).
It is a mail form that allows additional data to be added, which is characterized in that additional data can be added to. (Claim 2) Adhesive to at least substantially the entire surface of the substrate to be adhered by pressure and forming a printable adhesive layer,
A label (4) for concealing data, which is a mail form for adhering a label on which the adhesive layer is formed, adhering the adhesive layers to each other by pressure, and peeling the adhesive layer from the adhesive layer. A through-hole (14) is provided in a part of the substrate, and a write-once area (2) is formed on the surface (3) of the substrate facing the label (4) provided with the through-hole (14). ) And the position of the through hole (14) coincide with each other so that data can be additionally written from the through hole (14) to the additional write area (2). It is the mail form.

[0006]

In the case of creating a mail form having confidentiality, it is preferable in terms of work efficiency to collectively print the data at an office processing center or the like and fold it in half or fold it in half to conceal confidential information. However, there are cases where not all the necessary data are available at the stage of batch processing. For example, the billing date, the handling date, the billing amount, etc. may be determined at each business office later. The adhesive layer formed on the planned contact surface of the mail form of the present invention is capable of printing in addition to bonding by pressure. Therefore, even after concealing the mail form, data can be additionally written in the adhesive layer (additional write area) that appears through the through hole. Therefore, according to the present invention, for example, the billing date, the dealing date,
The billing amount or the like is not printed at the office processing center and is treated as an additional writing area, a through hole is provided, and data such as the billing date, the handling date, and the billing amount can be added later at a business office or the like.

[0007]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below in detail based on embodiments with reference to the drawings. 1 to 4 are views showing a mail form according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 1, the mail form 1 is made of a paper which is three times as large as a normal postcard (standard size postcard), and is used by folding the planned folding lines a and b indicated by the two-dot chain line in three.
The left column is a public information entry area 11 in which address information and the like are entered, and the middle column and the right column are secret information entry areas 12 and 13 in which confidential information and the like are entered. A special pressure-sensitive adhesive is applied to almost the entire surfaces of the base paper that are to be adhered. But,
It is not necessary to apply the pressure-sensitive adhesive to the front surface (11th surface) and the back surface (opposite surface of 13th surface) of the postcard which is not the adhesive surface. A through hole 14 is provided in a part of the confidential information entry area 13 of the mail form coated with the pressure sensitive adhesive so as not to interfere with the printer. Next, the confidential information is printed out in the confidential information entry areas 12 and 13 by a high-speed printer such as NIP. At this time, as shown in FIG. 1, data that needs to be additionally written at each business office, such as the power supply cutoff date, is not printed out in the additional write area 2. Bend from the lines a and b in FIG. 1 so that the 12th and 13th surfaces become the contact surfaces.
When the postcard is finished as shown in FIG. 2, the postscript area 2 and the through hole 14 are made to coincide with each other. . When the mail form is folded as shown in FIG. 2 and pressure-bonded to finish it in the form of a postcard, secret information is hidden. The above work is mainly processed centrally in the office center and sent to each business office.

At each sales office, as shown in FIG. 3, the person in charge adds the postscript area 2 (1) on the back of the postcard before mailing to the customer.
4) Write necessary data in (the additional recording area 2 and the through hole 14 are aligned due to the close contact between the 12th and 13th surfaces). Items to be filled in are mainly items to be set at the sales office, such as date and amount. This ensures the matching of the destination and the secret information. The data can be seen from the through hole until it is mailed to the customer, but the meaning of the data is unknown until it is opened, and privacy is protected. FIG. 4 is a diagram when the above mail form is opened, but the recipient can understand the meaning of the added numbers only after opening the mail. Also, it can be created in the same manner when folded in two.

Next, the second embodiment will be described. Figure 5,
FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a second embodiment. FIG. 5A shows the front side of a postcard, FIG. 5B shows the necessary data printed on the back side of the postcard, and FIG. 5C shows a label having through holes for additional writing. It is a figure. FIG. 6A is a diagram in which a label is pressure-sensitively adhered to hide secret information, and then a number is entered using a through hole of the label. FIG. 6B is a view of the rear surface of the postcard in which the label is peeled off to reveal the secret information. FIG. 6C shows the peeled label. First, a pressure sensitive adhesive is applied to the back surface of the postcard 3, and the confidential information is printed out on this with a high speed printer such as NIP. As in the first embodiment, as shown in FIG.
Will not be printed out when the power supply is cut off. Figure 5
As shown in (c), the label coated with the pressure-sensitive adhesive is provided with a through hole for additionally writing necessary data, and the label 4 is pressure-bonded to the postcard 3 so that the through hole coincides with the additional write area 2. The pressure sensitive adhesive layers are brought into close contact with each other to hide the secret information.
Similar to the first embodiment, the above-mentioned work is mainly centrally processed by the office center or the like and delivered to each business office or the like. Before mailing to the customer at each business office, the person in charge fills in the items such as the date, the amount of money, etc. that the business operator wants to set at the business office using the through holes on the label, and creates a postcard shown in FIG. 6 (a). Mail to customer. This label method is economically advantageous because it is possible to write public information and confidential information on a single postcard.
Moreover, since a label can be attached by a simple device, it can be used for a small lot.

[0010]

According to the present invention, until the postcard is sent to the mail, the billing date, the dealing date, the billing amount, and the like are left blank as postscript areas, and through-holes corresponding to the postscript areas are provided in the mail form. Even if not all the data are available, the work processing center can perform the batch processing as described above, which has the effect of improving the work efficiency. Distribute the batch-processed mail form to each sales office, etc., and at each sales office etc., the billing date, the handling date, the billing amount from the through hole formed in the mail form to the additional write area corresponding to the position of the through hole Since the predetermined information such as "additional information" can be added at any time, the treatment can be reserved. Further, since the person in charge at each business office or the like can check the billing date, handling date, billing amount, etc. of the customer, there is an effect that matching of the delivery destination and the confidential information can be surely achieved.
