Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a method for placarding and a system adapted to the method.
  • the placard layers accumulate on top of each other, which means that the placarding surface gradually comes to carry a considerable weight and therefore, in order not to overload the surface, the placarding surface has to regularly be cleaned by tearing off the layers of placards.
  • the accumulation of placard layers can also result in uneven and hence aesthetically unappealing surfaces, which can also make it more difficult to match up designs. Placarding with this method is difficult or even impossible in very cold or damp weather condidons.
  • Printing of the placarding sheets is made by block-printing or screen printing. It is not possible with such printing technique to quickly change printing pattern in order to print different patterns in a rapid succession in an inline process.
  • a layer acting as a moisture barrier is provided on the outside of the printed matter.
  • EP 1 094 433 discloses a poster comprising one or more sheets or strips of board.
  • the board has a flat layer printed on its exposed surface and a corrugated layer bonded to the upper surface of the flat layer.
  • Ink jet printing is the preferred printing technique used.
  • One main object of the present invention is to provide a method and a system for placarding providing a rationalised procedure all the way from printing the advertising message onto a placard, handling of the placard sheet to the placarding site and putting up the placard.
  • the method and system should be adapted to make it possible to quickly change printing pattern in order to print different patterns in a rapid succession in an inline process.
  • the method for placarding comprises the following
  • the printing technique used for printing said sheet of corrugated cardboard is selected from: inkjet printing, laser jet printing and toner jet printing.
  • the at least one score or groove is preferably made in the longitudinal direction of the fluting of the corrugated cardboard.
  • the Invention also refers to a system for placarding, which comprises:
  • the calendered liner is a Kraft liner having a basis weight between 30 and 50 g/m2.
  • Said intermediate layer in one embodiment of the invention is a coating or extrusion of a thermoplastic polymeric material.
  • a coating or extrusion of a thermoplastic polymeric material Preferably said coating has a basis weight between 10 and 30 g/m2.
  • a sheet 1 of laminated corrugated cardboard is fed through a printing unit 2, preferably an inkjet printer, printing an advertising image on said sheet 1.
  • the printing unit 2 is a digital print-on-demand unit having a printhead, which prints without exerting any mechanical pressure or direct physical contact between said sheet 1 and the printhead.
  • the printhead structure is generally movable across the entire width of the sheet 1 to perform line by line scan printing in consecutive transversal lines. During each print sequence, one or several transversal lines are printed as the printhead structure is caused to move across the sheet 1.
  • suitable digital printers, or print-on-demand printers are laser printers, toner jet printers and the like.
  • One or both sides of the sheet may be printed with an advertising image. In case both sides of the sheet are printed the advertising images printed thereon may be the same or different.
  • an inkjet printer suited for use in the present invention is a flat bed inkjet printer from Nur Macroprint Ltd. Such a printer has a capacity to print about 120 m 2 per hour.
  • the sheet 1 of corrugated cardboard constitutes an entire placarding surface and the matter printed by the printing unit 2 constitutes a complete advertising image.
  • a standard size of the sheet is 1.6x3.2 m, but may of course be varied within wide ranges.
  • the corrugated cardboard used in the sheet is preferably a laminated corrugated cardboard having an inner core of corrugated cardboard, i.e. a fluting 4 sandwiched between liners 5.
  • At least one of the outer layers 6 of the laminate is a bleached calendered liner, preferably Kraft liner, suited for printing.
  • the other outer layer can be of an optional suitable material, or is of the same bleached calendered liner material.
  • a moisture barrier in the form of a hydrophobic or liquid impervious intermediate layer 7.
  • Said moisture barrier preferably is a coating of a thermoplastic polymeric material. The moisture barrier preferably allows the sheet to be recycled without first having to remove said barrier.
  • the outer layers 6 are of white calandered Kraft liner from Fiskeby, each having a basis weight of 40 g/m 2 .
  • the moisture barrier is of white PE, basis weight 20 g/m 2 .
  • the PE material has been applied between the layers 5 and 6 by heat extrusion, and also acts as boding agent to laminate said layers together.
  • At least one score or groove 3 is made in the sheet of corrugated cardboard in the feeding direction thereof.
  • two scores or grooves 3 are made in the sheet. Any suitable means may be used for providing the desired scores or grooves. Thus knives, needles or any other sharp objects may be used.
  • the scores or grooves are preferably made in the longitudinal direction of the fluting 4 of the corrugated cardboard.
  • the printed sheet 1 is then folded about the grooves 3 to make an easily transportable unit thereof.
  • two grooves 3 are made and the sheet 1 is thus folded in three parts or panels, two outer 1', 1"' and one intermediate panel 1".
  • One of the outer panels 1' is preferably made with a somewhat greater width than the other panels, so that when the sheet is folded said panel 1' will project a certain distance outside of the other panels and form a gripping edge 10.
  • the folded sheet is then transported to a placarding site having a holder 8 for the sheet.
  • the sheet is unfolded and applied in the holder.
  • Any suitable holding means for receiving and holding the sheet 1 in the holder may be used, such as grooves 9 along the edges of the holder, clamping means etc.
  • the method and system according to the invention provides a rationalised procedure all the way from printing the advertising message onto a placard and putting up the placard at the placarding site.
  • the digital print-on-demand printing technique used further makes it possible to quickly change printing pattern in order to print different patterns in a rapid succession in an inline process.
