Definitions

  • the invention relates to a printed product and a method for its production.
  • the invention relates to a printed product which is formed from a single, continuous flat material and has a plurality of perforation lines.
  • the printed product has an envelope that can be opened along one of the perforation lines in order to access an inner receiving space of the envelope.
  • Printed products in which an information carrier is accommodated in an envelope are used in a variety of forms in order to convey information from a sender to a recipient. A direct inspection of the information on the transport route is prevented by storing the information in the envelope. In this way, individual, confidential and personal data can also be transmitted without it being possible to view this information directly during transport. Such a printed product makes a valuable impression, since a recipient can be sure that he has exclusive access to the information in the envelope. This type of information transmission is particularly appreciated in the area of personal customer letters, since the customer receives a high-quality printed product and appreciates the confidential and serious transmission of the information due to the information being sealed in an envelope.
  • the design of such printed products requires a certain amount of effort.
  • the insert i.e. the card or letter that will later be placed inside the envelope, is manufactured separately, with customer-specific information being printed on this insert if necessary. Additionally the envelope is made separately. If the cover is also designed individually, care must later be taken to ensure that matching pairs are formed from the customized cover and customized insert. In addition, a corresponding insertion process is required to place the insert in the envelope without damage, which is done by hand or by complex machines.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a printed product which can be produced inexpensively and exclusively by machine.
  • the printed product is formed from a continuous flat material, flat material being understood to mean any type of printable paper, as well as other printable and foldable flat materials.
  • Both the cover and the insert later in the cover are formed integrally from the same flat material (e.g. printed sheet) and remain connected to one another until the printed product is completed and the closed cover is received by the recipient. Only when the envelope is opened by the recipient is there a separation of the insert section and the envelope, which is coupled with the opening.
  • the sheet material is first stamped or cut into shape, forming an envelope portion and an insert portion.
  • the cover section merges into the insert section via a connecting section.
  • the connection section thus represents a transition between the cover section and the insert section, with all three sections remaining integrally connected.
  • a first line of perforations is formed in the sheet adjacent to the liner portion. Along this Perforation line separates the insert section and the envelope when the envelope is later opened by the recipient.
  • Both the envelope section and the insert section can have a variety of shapes and dimensions in terms of their external configuration, but in any case they are connected to one another by the connecting section.
  • the insert section is placed on (or under) the cover section by folding the flat material along the connection section.
  • the envelope section is then folded into an envelope and sealed.
  • folding the insert section it is to be folded along the connecting section in such a way that it comes to rest in an area of the envelope section later enclosed by the envelope.
  • the insert section is placed in the envelope's internal receiving space, with both sections still being coupled to one another via the connecting section.
  • a second line of perforations is formed in the envelope portion.
  • This second line of perforations demarcates a first area from a second area at the cover panel, with the connecting portion extending from the second area of the cover panel.
  • the second area of the envelope section forms a flap which can be separated along the second line of perforations. This flap is connected to the connection section and when the flap is torn off, the connection section is separated from the insert section along the first perforation line.
  • the flap along the second perforation line ensures that the mechanically weakened area is separated along the first perforation line when the envelope is opened, so that a multi-part print product is now made from the integral printed product printed matter.
  • the insert section then lies freely in the inner receiving space of the envelope. Both the opening of the envelope and the simultaneous separation of the insert section from the envelope, more precisely from the connecting section, are thus effected via the detachable flap.
  • the advantages of the printed product according to the invention are first of all that there is an integral connection between the insert section and the envelope until the printed product is received and the printed product is opened. Mixing up is impossible in this way, since the two parts are not separated, but are produced on the same sheet from the start and remain firmly connected. Furthermore, the insert is placed in the envelope by a simple folding operation, therefore inserting the insert into a finished envelope is not required. The insert is folded together with the cover and in this way always has a reproducible position in relation to the cover. Folding processes can be carried out by machine, so that a continuous mechanical production process is sufficient to produce a corresponding printed product, including cover and insert, without having to resort to manual work.
  • the design of the printed product is not associated with any complication for the recipient, since he immediately separates the connection between the insert section and the cover by opening the cover along the perforation provided, without having to do this consciously or purposefully. Instead, it appears to the recipient as if the insert was placed as a separate element in the envelope, as the separation process is completely transparent to them.
  • the first line of perforations serves to connect the insert section to the connecting section and the adjoining cover section until the insert section is placed in the envelope and the envelope has been closed.
  • this perforation along the first perforation line is usually inside the cover and can therefore be designed with great mechanical weakness for particularly easy separation with little force required.
  • the perforation along the second perforation line that is to say the perforation which delimits the tab which can be separated by the user, is on the outside of the finished printed product.
  • This perforation line should in particular be suitable for machines, that is to say it should be designed for sorting and transport machines on the postal route in such a way that it is only separated when a user deliberately opens it. As a rule, this perforation has to be separated with greater mechanical effort than the perforation along the first perforation line.
  • flat materials such as paper can be used for picture printing, which allow particularly appealing and needs-based designs and are proven in terms of print management, punching, perforations and folds.
  • the flap portion is folded into a flap with a crease C-fold, with the connecting portion extending along the flap portion between two adjacent folds.
  • Designing an envelope with a fold C-fold is a well-established technique, with the C-fold forming a sort of flattened tube.
  • the connecting portion is continuous with the turnup portion while extending between two adjacent folds so that the connecting portion is not folded even when the tumble fold is formed.
  • the insert section adjoining the connecting section can certainly be dimensioned in such a way that it is folded along with the cover section in the area of the breaks after it has been placed or laid on the cover section.
  • the cover section and insert section can therefore be connected to one another in a very limited area along their outer boundary, while the two sections widen beyond the connection section.
  • the connecting section does not extend completely from fold to fold of the letter fold, but rather that distances remain on both sides. In the printed product, this enables in particular that in the finished product, in those areas that are not occupied by the connecting section, contact areas between different surfaces of the cover section can be superimposed and glued to close the cover or form the detachable flap .
  • the second line of perforations on the envelope portion extends along a closed line once the envelope portion has been formed into a folded envelope.
  • the perforation extends, for example, from one edge of the cover section to the opposite edge, these opposite edges of the cover section being superimposed by the formation of a letter fold, thus closing the second line of perforations.
  • an adhesive connection is formed between the connecting section and the detachable tab. While the integral formation of the cover portion, the connection portion and the liner portion has already been explained above, the connection between the detachable flap and the connection portion can be further strengthened by adhesively bonding these two portions. As explained above, in the production process when producing the printed product according to the invention, the insert section is folded onto the cover section. According to the preferred embodiment, it can be provided that the connection section is folded together with the insert section in the envelope section so that it rests on an area of the envelope section which is a partial area of the detachable flap.
  • connection area can be glued to this area, so that it is ensured that a particularly durable connection is produced between the detachable flap and the connection section, so that when the flap is detached, the connection section can also be reliably separated from the insert along the first perforation line. separate section.
  • the adhesive connection is designed as a continuous adhesive strip along an edge of the cover section on which the connection section is formed, so that the adhesive connection glues both the connection section with the detachable flap and several sections of the Cover section glued together.
  • a unitary line of adhesive along one side of the envelope portion serves both to seal the envelope folding the flap section into the finished flap as well as securely connecting the connection section to the flap. Only one work step with uniform material handling is required to effect the desired adhesive connection and closure of the envelope.
  • the method according to the invention forms a printed product as described above.
  • a printed sheet which may be provided with individualized information, is separated into the raw form of the printed product. All conventional methods can be used to separate the printed sheet, e.g. punching or cutting.
  • punching or cutting can be used to separate the printed sheet.
  • the integral connection of the cover section, an adjoining connection section and an insert section adjoining the connection section is maintained at all times. If this composite is formed from the sections mentioned, a perforation along a perforation line between the connecting section and the insert section can be formed subsequently or together with the separating process.
  • a second line of perforations is also formed extending on the cover panel such that the second line of perforations delineates a first portion of the cover portion from a second portion of the cover portion, with the connecting portion being distinct from the second portion of the envelope section. It should be noted at this point that the severing and perforating operations can take place in any order or simultaneously using appropriate tools.
  • the liner section is then folded onto (or under) the cover section, with the fold occurring along the joint section.
  • the envelope section with the insert section on top is then folded to form an envelope.
  • the folding takes place in such a way that as a result of the folding process, an envelope is formed by the envelope section, in the inner receiving space of which Deposit section is included.
  • the insert section can also be folded together with the folding of the cover section, depending on the dimensions of the insert section and the cover section.
  • the insert section has itself been folded before it is folded onto the cover section, for example to enable better accommodation in the cover section.
  • an adhesive bond is provided to join the sections of the cover panel.
  • such an adhesive connection can also be applied and produced by machine, which favors full machine production.
  • connection section is a particularly preferred embodiment.
  • This connection can be made via the same glue line as is used to connect the sections of the envelope section for closing the envelope, as will be explained below with reference to the exemplary embodiment.
  • the cover is formed by folding the cover section in accordance with a letter fold, since this is a tried and tested machine folding method and that correspondingly robust folding mechanisms and machines are available.
  • FIG 1 a stamped printed sheet from a continuous flat material 1 is shown.
  • the flat material consists of an art print paper.
  • different grammages of paper can be used for the production; a grammage of 200 grams is proposed as an example.
  • the printed matter is in figure 1 in an unfolded and unglued design, it is cut out or punched out of a larger flat material along its outer contours and can in principle also be printed on the front and back as desired.
  • the print content is not relevant to the invention, it is not shown in this exemplary embodiment.
  • the section of the cut-out flat material that extends in area A forms the cover section 2.
  • the connection section 3 Integrally on the cover section 2, the connection section 3 is formed in section B.
  • the connection section 3 is followed by the insert section 4 in the area C.
  • the insert section 4, the connection section 3 and the cover section 2 are formed from the same printed sheet and merge into one another.
  • a perforation line 5 is formed between the connection section 3 and the insert section 4 .
  • the insert section 4 is later separated along this perforation line 5 when the finished printed product is opened.
  • a fold line 6 is provided between the connecting portion 3 and the cover portion 2, along which the insert portion 4 is folded into the cover portion 2, as described below.
  • a perforation 7 is formed on the cover section 2 and forms a circumferential perforation line when the cover section 2 is glued together.
  • the perforation 7 delimits a flap 10 in a middle section of the envelope section.
  • a material recess 11 is formed adjacent to the perforation 7 in order to enable a later recipient to reach behind the flap 10.
  • the material recess 11 can be a simple punched hole in the vicinity of the perforation 7 .
  • the perforation 7 on the cover section 4 delimits two areas from one another.
  • the first area to the left of the perforation 7 in the image is delimited by the second area to the right in the image.
  • the second, right-hand part forms, among other things, the tab 10 and has the continuous connection to the connection section 3 .
  • the intermediate product shown is provided in the envelope section 2, more precisely in an edge section D, with a cold glue.
  • the insert section 4 together with the connection section 3 is then folded onto the cover section 2 along the fold line 6, with the connection section 3 being glued to the cover section 2, more precisely in the area D of the flap 10, due to the previous application of adhesive , where a double layer of cover portion 2 and connection portion 3 is formed.
  • the insert section 4 is due of the intermediate connection section 3 so far that it does not come into contact with the adhesive applied in the area D.
  • Figure 2a shows the state with an insert section 4 folded onto the envelope section 2.
  • the envelope section 2 is now folded along the folds 2a and 2b, together with the inner insert section 4, according to a letter fold, with the applied adhesive in the area D, insofar as it is not covered by the connecting portion 3, provides the adhesive effect for closing the envelope.
  • connection section 3 does not extend completely to the breaks 2a and 2b on the cover section 2. This creates contact areas between different layers of the cover section 2 in the free areas up to the breaks, which allows an adhesive connection between these layers without an intermediate connecting section.
  • Figure 2b shows the state after the first fold along the rupture 2a in a partially transparent view
  • the subsequent step of folding the cover section 2 along the rupture 2b leads to the state in FIG figure 3 , which in turn is shown in a partially transparent view.
  • the insert portion 4 is received within the interior of the formed envelope.
  • the insert section 4 is fixed in the interior only by the connecting section 3, which in turn is glued to the cover section 2.
  • Figure 3b shows the opaque representation of the printed product from the back, as a recipient receives the envelope.
  • a viewing trough or finger trough 7a is punched into the perforation 7 on the back, which later enables access and inspection of the insert in the envelope.
  • FIG. 4a The product finished in this way in a front view is in Figure 4a shown.
  • a recipient receives the envelope and can access the flap 10 via the recess 11 and detach it along the line of perforations 7 .
  • the initial detachment process is in Figure 4b shown.
