DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a merchandise display container which can be displayed and sold in a state in which merchandise is stored.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Packaging containers which can display cosmetics and other products while they are packaged are transparent and glossy so that the products can be viewed as clean and high-grade as possible. There is known a structure formed of a transparent plastic sheet and transferring a metal vapor-deposited foil on the surface of the sheet, that is, the sheet surface serving as the outer surface of the container to form a decorative display portion such as a trademark or advertisement.

However, when a decorative display portion is formed on the outer surface of the container, even if the vapor-deposited metal layer is protected by a top coat or the like, the vapor-deposited metal layer is easily damaged by contact or the like, and slight scratches are conspicuous. Sometimes it dropped.

In recent years, containers for displaying goods provided with a decorative display portion made of vapor-deposited metal on the outer surface of the container have been frequently seen, and the appeal of the decorative display portion has been gradually diminished. It has been desired to develop a product display container that can be expected to have a new decorative effect.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a merchandise display container capable of providing a new decorative effect without easily deteriorating the design.

[0006]

For this purpose, the present invention provides a method for attaching a metal foil to a part of the inner surface of a product storage space surrounded by a transparent plastic sheet, thereby forming a part of the inner surface of the product storage space. The part is mirror-finished to form a product display container. With a product display container having such a configuration, the product can be clearly seen through a surface on which the metal foil is not adhered, and at the same time, the product can be mirror-mirrored, so that one product can be multifaceted. Can be shown. In addition, reflecting on the mirror surface can give the consumer a sense of quality. Furthermore, by providing a mirror surface in the product storage space, a small storage space can be made to look wide, and the impression different from the conventional product storage space can be strongly given to the consumer.

[0007] In the above-described configuration of the product display container, a color layer can be formed on the inner surface of the product storage space, and a metal foil can be adhered on the color layer. This allows the color of the color layer or the color of the metal foil to pass through the color layer to appear on the outer surface of the container where the metal foil is attached, further enhancing the design effect of the product display container. it can.

In addition, it is possible to form a window in which the metal foil is not adhered in the metal foil and expose the color layer in the window. In this case, a pattern is formed by the metal foil and the color layer. And a further design effect can be provided.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a product display container 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a rectangular parallelepiped product storage space 3 surrounded by a transparent plastic sheet 2. Back part 4 in 3, ie back part 4
The metal foil 5 is adhered to the entire inner surface 4a of the rear portion 4 and the inner surface 4a of the rear portion 4 is formed as a mirror surface.

Here, the transparent plastic sheet 2 is a sheet made of a transparent plastic material such as a polyester resin such as polypropylene, polystyrene and polyethylene terephthalate (PET), an ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer, polyvinyl chloride and polyvinylidene chloride. Can be used. However, in terms of strength, rigidity, transparency, bending workability, etc., amorphous ethylene terephthalate polyester resin (so-called A-PE
It is preferably formed from T). By using amorphous PET, high strength can be obtained in any direction, and better transparency compared to non-amorphous PET,
Heat deformation resistance and the like can be obtained.

The material of the metal foil 5 and the means for attaching the metal foil 5 are not particularly limited.
For example, gold, silver, platinum, palladium, copper, nickel, aluminum, tin, lead, and alloys of two or more of these can be used. As a means for attaching the metal foil 5, for example, a metal foil may be transferred using a metal foil transfer film in which a release agent, a metal foil and a transfer adhesive are sequentially laminated on a base film. It can be deposited by a vacuum deposition method, a sputtering method, an ion plating method, or a hot stamping method.

In the case of the commodity display container 1 having such a configuration, when the commodity is stored in the commodity storage space 3 and displayed, the commodity is clearly seen through the front surface, both side surfaces and the upper and lower surfaces of the commodity storage space 3. At the same time, the product can be shown on the rear surface 4, that is, on the mirror surface, so that the product can be seen from a different angle, and the product can be seen from a different angle. Can be given. In addition, it can be expected that by showing the rear surface of the product on a mirror surface, consumers can be given a sense of security. Furthermore, by providing a mirror surface in the product storage space 3, a small storage space can be made to look wide, and it can be expected that an impression different from the conventional product storage space is strongly given to the consumer. Also,
By attaching the metal foil 5 to the inner surface 4a of the product storage section 3, the mirror gloss of the metal foil 5 appears directly on the inner surface, so that the metal foil 5 attached to the outer surface appears through the transparent plastic sheet 2. The effect that the design effect inside is more excellent than that can be enjoyed.

FIG. 3 shows a merchandise display container 10 as a modification of the merchandise display container 1.

As shown in FIG. 4, a color layer 11 is first laminated on a transparent plastic sheet 2 on the rear portion 4 in the product storage space 3, and the color layer 11 is formed on the color layer 11. The metal foil 5 is adhered, and the metal foil 5 is not allowed to adhere to the window 12 (in the figure, the back 4
In the product storage space 3, the inner side surface 4a of the back portion 4 is formed as shown in FIG.
Is made a mirror surface, and at the same time, the color layer 11 is exposed in a window portion 12 provided in the mirror surface.

Here, the color layer 11 can be formed as a shielding layer that does not transmit light, or can be formed as a translucent colored layer. To form the shielding layer, for example, a resin binder such as an acrylic resin or a polyester resin containing a coloring agent having a shielding property is formed by a printing method such as gravure printing, screen printing, or a coating method such as a roll coating. can do. Also,
To form a light-transmitting colored layer, for example, dye in a resin binder such as acrylic resin, polyester resin,
A material containing a transparent coloring material such as a transparent pigment can be formed by a printing method such as gravure printing or screen printing, or a coating method such as roll coating. If formed as a translucent colored layer, the color of the metal foil 5 can be exposed on the outer surface of the container through the color layer 11.

The window 12 formed in the metal foil 5 can be formed by cutting the metal foil 5 by a method such as laser etching after attaching the metal foil 5, or by transferring the metal foil. In the method of transferring a metal foil by heat-pressing a film for transfer with a transfer stamp, it is also possible to form a recess on the pressing surface of the transfer stamp and use the portion pressed by the recess as a window.

With the product display container 10 having such a configuration, in addition to the effect of the product display container 1, a new pattern can be formed by the metal foil 5 and the color layer 11, so that a more interesting design effect is imparted. be able to. When the rear part 4 of the product display container 1 is viewed from the outside, the color of the color layer 11 through the transparent plastic sheet 2 or the color of the metal foil 5 through the color layer 11 appears. In this respect, the design effect of the product display container 1 can be enhanced.

The product display containers 1 and 10 are formed by attaching a metal foil 5 to a back surface 4 in a rectangular parallelepiped product storage space and making only the back surface 4 a mirror surface. In the merchandise display container of the present invention, the merchandise storage space can be formed in an arbitrary shape, and the place where the metal foil is attached in the merchandise storage space is also arbitrary. For example, as shown in FIG. 5 (A), a metal foil may be attached to the back and bottom of the rectangular parallelepiped product storage space, or as shown in FIG. 5 (B), a rectangular parallelepiped product It is also possible to attach metal foil to all surfaces except the front surface of the storage space. Further, as shown in (C), a metal foil may be adhered to the back surface in the product storage space as if the columnar shape was cut in half vertically, or as shown in (D), The metal foil may be formed so as to adhere to the bottom surface in the product storage space.
