DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a horticultural label in which the type of a plant is written and inserted into a flowerpot or the like, and in particular, an acrylic resin, a polyester resin, Silk-screen printing with UV-curable ink (UV ink) such as urethane resin or solvent-based ink provides excellent weather resistance, easy printing on copiers and personal computers, and easy colorization. The present invention relates to a horticultural label that can be used.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional horticultural label is formed of a synthetic resin plate such as a vinyl chloride resin, and when used, it is necessary to write characters individually on the label surface with a pencil or a pen. there were.

When a color label is produced, a large amount of a pigment or the like is mixed into a synthetic resin material such as a vinyl chloride resin when a synthetic resin plate is produced.

[0004]

Conventional horticultural labels use a synthetic resin plate such as vinyl chloride resin as it is, and its surface is smooth, so it is difficult to write characters with a pencil or pen. However, there is an inconvenience that characters do not settle and characters easily disappear when rubbed with a finger.

Further, a personal computer (hereinafter, referred to as a personal computer)
If you use a printer or copier to write multiple characters on a horticultural label, the ink or toner will not settle on the surface of the horticultural label.
The realization was not easy.

[0006] Further, when producing a horticultural label in color, when a synthetic resin plate such as a vinyl chloride resin is prepared in advance, a large amount of pigment must be mixed in the plate, so that the produced color label has to be produced. The horticultural labels have problems that the cost is high, the weather resistance is deteriorated due to the pigment, the strength of the material is reduced, and the label is deteriorated at an early stage.

According to the present invention, the above-mentioned problems can be solved, characters can be easily written with a pencil or a pen, etc., and a plurality of printers or copiers of a personal computer can be printed together, and colorization can be easily performed. The purpose of the present invention is to realize a horticultural label which is excellent in weather resistance even if it is colored.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides an acrylic resin on one or both sides of a horticultural label of a conventional synthetic resin substrate such as a vinyl chloride resin.
Silk printing with UV-curable ink (UV ink) such as polyester-based resin or urethane-based resin or solvent-based ink to create fine irregularities on one or both sides of horticultural labels, such as pencils and pens It is a horticultural label on which characters such as ink and toner are easily fixed, such as printers and copiers of personal computers.

Further, by preparing a sheet-like label in which a plurality of the horticultural labels are collected in a half-punched state, it is possible to easily print a large quantity by using a printer or a copier of a personal computer. It is characterized by doing so.

[0010] In such a horticultural label in color,
Instead of mixing pigments directly into synthetic resin materials such as vinyl chloride resin as in the past, instead of UV-curable inks (UV inks) such as acrylic resins, polyester resins, and urethane resins, solvent-based inks, etc. By performing silk printing using a pre-colored ink, color printing can be easily performed, and a horticultural label excellent in weather resistance that does not fade even when the color printing is performed can be formed.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a horticultural label of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1A, the horticultural label 1 is inserted into a pot when the plant is cultivated in a pot or the like. FIG.
(B) shows the shape of the horticultural label. Gardening label 1
Is usually made of a synthetic resin plate such as vinyl chloride resin. In the present invention, on one or both sides of a synthetic resin plate such as a vinyl chloride resin, an ultraviolet curable ink (UV ink) such as an acrylic resin, a polyester resin, or a urethane resin, a solvent ink, or the like is used. Silk printing is performed so that fine irregularities are formed.

FIG. 1C is a sectional view taken along the line AA of the horticultural label 1 of the present invention in FIG. 1B.
The horticultural label 1 is provided on one or both sides of a synthetic resin plate 2 such as a vinyl chloride resin with an ultraviolet curable ink (UV ink) such as an acrylic resin, a polyester resin, a urethane resin, a solvent ink, or the like. The ink layer 3 is formed.
By the silk printing, the ink layer 3 forms extremely fine irregularities. Due to the irregularities, characters such as pencils and pens
It becomes easy to settle on the gardening label 1. The degree of this unevenness is
When rubbing the surface with a finger, friction is slightly felt compared to the case without silk printing.

When the horticultural label 1 is to be colored, at the time of silk printing, an ultraviolet curable ink (UV ink) such as an acrylic resin, a polyester resin, a urethane resin, etc., which is colored in advance, or a solvent type ink is used. By performing silk printing using ink or the like, the gardening label 1 can be easily colored. In this case, since it is not necessary to mix a pigment or the like into the synthetic resin plate 2 such as a vinyl chloride resin, a color gardening label having excellent weather resistance can be obtained without increasing the amount of impurities in the synthetic resin plate 2 such as a vinyl chloride resin. Can be created. Silk printing itself is also known as a printing method having excellent weather resistance.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a production example of a horticultural label sheet. A horticultural label including a plurality of half-cut horticultural labels 1 by half-cutting a silk-printed synthetic resin substrate 4 such as a vinyl chloride resin described in FIG. 1 in the form of a label. Sheet 5 is created.

FIG. 3 shows an example of a horticultural label sheet.
A plurality of horticultural labels 1 are half-cut on one horticultural label sheet 5. Here, the horticultural label sheet 5 is silk-screened on one or both sides.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a printing example of a horticultural label sheet using a copying machine. Gardening Label Sheet 5
Prepare a sheet (not shown) of the same size as above and on which characters to be written on the gardening label are printed. Gardening Label Sheet 5
By copying a sheet on which characters are printed by a commonly used ordinary copying machine with the characters being copied, a horticultural label sheet 6 on which the characters are copied and filled is created.

Using a word processor (word processor) software of a personal computer in advance, a character string to be written on a label is input to a paper image of the same size as the horticultural label sheet 5, and the character string is input by a printer connected to the personal computer. By directly printing on the horticultural label sheet 5, the horticultural label sheet 6 in which characters are written can be created.

As described above, the horticultural label sheet 5 is
It can be easily printed by a copier or a printer of a personal computer. Therefore, the conventional horticultural label was commercialized and sold in a punched state, whereas the horticultural label of the present invention was designed so that the user could use an arbitrary character string using a copier or a printer of a personal computer. Is printed in a state of a horticultural label sheet 5 obtained by half blanking.

FIG. 5 shows an example of a printed horticultural label sheet. Since the printed horticultural label sheet 6 is silk-screened on one or both sides, the toner (or ink, etc.) of a copier (or a printer of a personal computer) can be easily fixed on the surface. Can be done. At the time of use, the individual horticultural labels can be easily extracted from the horticultural label sheet 6 by hand.

[0021]

As described above, by applying silk printing to one or both sides of a horticultural label, characters can be easily written with a pencil or a pen, and the characters are easily erased. No more. In addition, colorization can be easily performed at low cost, and deterioration of weather resistance such as fading can be prevented. In addition, silk printing is applied to the horticultural label surface, and multiple horticultural labels are collectively made into a sheet, so that characters with toner or ink can be easily fixed on a copier or a personal computer printer. A large amount of printing can be easily performed at one time.
