[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 and 2, the entirety of a pressure-sensitive adhesive seal (hereinafter simply referred to as an adhesive seal) according to an embodiment of the present invention is indicated by 1. The adhesive seal 1 is a release film or release paper (hereinafter, both are collectively referred to as release paper) 10 used in a commercially available transfer sheet or the like.
The adhesive layer 2 formed thereon, the colorant support layer 3 formed on the adhesive layer 2, and the contour line 4 formed on the colorant support layer 3 and determining the design of the adhesive seal ( 41 to 44).

A method for manufacturing the above-mentioned pressure-sensitive adhesive seal will be described below with reference to FIG. First, release paper 10 is prepared.
The release paper 10 may be a paper based on a synthetic resin film or a known paper based paper. Next, as shown in FIG. 3A, a commercially available adhesive ink (for example, UV TAC ink of Teikoku Ink Mfg. Co., Ltd.) is used on the release paper 10, for example, by screen printing. The adhesive layer 2 is formed to a desired thickness by such a printing technique. In this case, the outer peripheral edge 20 of the adhesive layer 2 is formed along the outer contour line of the pattern constituting the adhesive seal. After the adhesive layer 2 is dried to some extent, a colorant support layer 3 is formed on the surface of the adhesive layer 2 by screen printing as shown in FIGS. 3B and 3C. In this embodiment, the colorant support layer 3 is colored by mixing a desired colorant in advance into the ink itself constituting the colorant support layer 3. For this reason, portions 31 and 3 having different colors according to the design of the adhesive seal 1 with the coloring material support layer 3.
2 and 33 are printed in different steps. That is, as shown in FIG. 3C, the portions 31 and 32 of the same color are printed first, and then the portion 33 of another color is printed. Therefore, if there are many portions of the colorant support layer having different colors, the number of times of printing of the colorant support layer increases accordingly. As the ink constituting the colorant support layer 3, it is preferable that the ink has a certain degree of flexibility in a dry state so that the pressure-sensitive adhesive seal 1 can be applied to the uneven product surface and applied to the surface. . As such an ink, for example, there is a UV-FIL ink manufactured by Teikoku Ink Manufacturing Co., Ltd. The outer peripheral edge 30 of the coloring material support layer 3 coincides with the outer peripheral edge 20 of the adhesive layer 2.

After the colorant support layer 3 has dried to a desired degree,
As shown in FIG. 3D, a contour 4 (41) having a desired width and a desired thickness is provided on the surface of the coloring material support layer 3.
To 44) are also formed of the desired ink by screen printing. The color of the ink forming the outline is not particularly limited as long as the outline can be clearly expressed. The height of the contour line 4 in the vertical direction in FIG. 2 is thicker than that of the adhesive layer or the coloring material support layer in order to emphasize the three-dimensional appearance of the seal. The ink constituting the outline preferably has flexibility and elasticity in a dry state for the same reason as the coloring material support layer. In the present embodiment, an ultraviolet-curing resin having flexibility and elasticity in a dry state, that is, in a hardened state (for example, UV-FIL ink or UV SP manufactured by Teikoku Ink Manufacturing Co., Ltd.)
A-314 ink). By using such an ultraviolet curable resin, a thick outline can be formed relatively easily and quickly. When forming an outline,
As shown in FIG. 3 [D], the outer edge 40 of a portion (the portion drawn the widest in FIG. 1) 41 defining the outer periphery of the pattern in the outline is formed by the outer edge 20 of the adhesive layer. And, it is formed so as to coincide with the outer peripheral edge 30 of the colorant support layer or to be slightly inside. In FIG. 1, the contour portions 41, 42, 43, and 44 are drawn with different line widths, but may be formed with the same width in practice. The adhesive layer 2 and the colorant support layer 3 and the colorant support layer 3 and the contour line 4 are adhered so as not to be separated from each other. The eye 45 of the fish pattern in FIG. 1 is not necessarily a contour, but can be formed from the surface of the coloring material support layer 3 as the contour by the same method using the same material as the contour.

The adhesive seal 1 thus completed
For example, when affixing to the surface of a wooden, glass, metal, or synthetic resin plate or the surface of an article such as a box, a container, or a figurine made of those materials, the adhesive layer 2, The coloring material support layer 3 and the outline 5 are peeled off integrally. Then, the peeled integral adhesive seal 1 is attached with the adhesive layer 2 with the surface side of the plate or the article. According to the adhesive seal 1 of the present invention, since the entire seal is reinforced by the contour line 4, even if the adhesive layer 2 and the coloring material support layer 3 are thinned, the shape of the adhesive seal is maintained, and It can be stuck on the surface without breaking its shape. In this embodiment, since the coloring material support layer itself is colored, the coloring material support layer itself can be used as it is by sticking it to the product. Materials can also be applied. The colorant for coloring the colorant support layer 3 itself may be a commercially available one.

In FIG. 4, an adhesive seal 1 of another embodiment is shown.
a is shown in cross section. The adhesive seal of this embodiment is
Only the coloring material support layer 3a is different from the above embodiment, and the other is the same. Therefore, description of the same part is omitted. In this embodiment, the entire coloring material support layer 3a is formed of white or colorless ink. When the adhesive seal of this embodiment is used, a coloring material such as a paint of a desired color is applied on the surface of the coloring material support layer 3a of each part partitioned by the contour line 4a in a state of being attached to release paper. Then, the adhesive layer 2a, the coloring material support layer 3a having a colored surface, and the adhesive seal 1a integrated with the contour line 4a are peeled off from the release paper 10, and the adhesive layer portion is adhered to the surface of the article at the adhesive layer portion. After attaching or peeling off the adhesive layer 2a, the uncolored colorant support layer 3a, and the adhesive seal 1a integrated with the contour line 4a from the release paper 10, and sticking it to the surface of the article at the part of the adhesive layer, A desired coloring material is applied and colored on the surface of the coloring material support layer 3a in each part defined by the contour line 4a.

FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of the adhesive seal of the present invention. Adhesive seal 1b of this embodiment
Uses an integrated sheet S in which the release paper 10, the adhesive layer 2b, and the white or colorless colorant support layer 3b are integrally formed in advance, and the aforementioned sheet is formed on the surface of the colorant support layer 3b of the integrated sheet. The outline 4b is printed by screen printing in the same manner as in the embodiment. Since the pressure-sensitive adhesive seal of this embodiment uses an integrated sheet, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 2b and the colorant support layer 3b
At this time, there is no outer peripheral edge along the portion 41b forming the outline outside the outline 4b. Therefore, after the printing of the contour line 4b is completed, the outer peripheral edge 4 of the portion 41b is
Cut along 0b (flush with or slightly spaced from its outer edge). This cutting may be performed in advance with a punch that can be cut along the outer peripheral edge of the symbol.

[0013]

According to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained. (A) According to the pressure-sensitive adhesive seal of the present invention, coloring can be easily performed before or after attaching to the surface of an article, and the adhesive can be attached to or detached from the surface of the article. Easy. (B) Since the outline of the design is raised above the colorant support layer, a three-dimensional effect of the design can be obtained. (C) Since the outline of the design is raised above the coloring material support layer, even if a coloring material such as a liquid paint is used, the ink does not bleed out in a section other than the section to be painted, and the coloring can be performed beautifully. (D) Since the adhesive seal is reinforced by the outline, even if the adhesive layer and the colorant support layer are thinned, the shape of the adhesive seal is not easily deformed. (E) By forming the adhesive layer, the coloring material support layer and the contour line by printing, a complicated pattern can be easily formed. (F) By using an ultraviolet curable resin as the ink for forming the contour, a relatively thick contour can be efficiently formed.
