The present invention (2) is a tag in which a sheet having a data storage element and a base material are integrated via a hot melt adhesive. It is preferable because the sheet having the data storage element and the base material can be firmly laminated. Further, it is preferable that the display sheet and the sheet having the data storage element are similarly integrated with each other through the hot melt adhesive. When both layers are laminated via a hot melt adhesive, a tag that is more firmly integrated is obtained, which is preferable.

For example, as shown in FIG. 7, a display sheet and a sheet having a data storage element are bonded with a hot melt adhesive, and as shown in FIG. 8, a sheet in which the display sheet and the data storage element are integrated. A sheet-like hot melt adhesive may be sandwiched between the base material and the base material and thermocompression bonded. The order of integration may be either first. Of course,
At the same time, they can be integrated via a hot melt adhesive.

The present invention (3) is a tag in which a sheet having a data storage element and a base material are integrated by melt-extruding a thermoplastic resin. This method is preferable because a large number of continuous tags can be efficiently manufactured. In addition, it is preferable to stack the display sheet and the sheet having the data storage element by melt-extruding the thermoplastic resin, because a more continuous and large number of tags can be efficiently manufactured.

For example, as shown in FIG. 9, a display sheet and a sheet having a data storage element are integrated with a thermoplastic resin, and as shown in FIG. 10, a thermoplastic resin is provided between the integrated sheet and the base material. It is good to integrate by melt extrusion. The order of integration may be either first.

The present invention (4) is a tag characterized in that a sheet having a data storage element and a base material are pseudo-bonded to each other. The term "pseudo-adhesion" as used in the present invention means that in a normal state, the sheet having the data storage element and the base material are adhered to each other, and when a person tries to peel them off by hand, they can be easily peeled off. Say.

The laminating method is not particularly limited as long as the data storage element and the base material are laminated and the data storage element and the base material are manually peeled off.
(I). A method of pressure-bonding a sheet having a data storage element and a base material with an adhesive, (ii). A method in which a sheet having a data storage element and a base material are pressure-bonded via a weak adhesive, (iii). A method in which a molten thermoplastic resin is sandwiched between a sheet having a data storage element and a base material and pressure-bonded, (iv). Examples include a method in which sheets having data storage elements are laminated and thermocompression-bonded without interposing an adhesive, a pressure-sensitive adhesive, a thermoplastic resin, or the like.

(I). As a method of using an adhesive, a known adhesive can be used, and in particular, a rubber-based adhesive or an acrylic-based adhesive used in tri-fold postcards or the like is mixed with a pigment such as starch or silica as an adhesion control agent. Pseudo-adhesion using an adhesive is preferable because adhesion and stable manual peeling are possible.

(Ii). As a method of using an adhesive,
A pseudo adhesive can be formed by using a known adhesive such as acrylic, rubber, vinyl ether or urethane. An adhesive layer may be formed on the back surface of the display sheet in advance, and the display sheet may be attached to the data storage element. As the adhesive, it is preferable to use an adhesive having an adhesive strength such that the display sheet and the data storage element can be manually peeled off. For example, an adhesive microsphere may be used, or a removable adhesive may be used. When the data storage and / or arithmetic unit (so-called IC chip) of the data storage element contacts the adhesive, it is preferable to use a solvent-type or hot-melt type adhesive as the adhesive. Since the emulsion type adhesive contains water in the adhesive, it may adversely affect the data storage and / or the arithmetic unit.

(Iii). As a method of using the melted thermoplastic resin, a pseudo adhesive may be formed by extrusion-laminating a display sheet and a sheet having a data storage element using the thermoplastic resin in a molten state. For example, when the data storage element or the display sheet is formed of a polyester resin (for example, PET), if polyethylene is used as the thermoplastic resin and laminated, the polarities of the two become different, and therefore, peeling from the interface becomes possible. Also,
Even when the thermoplastic resin having a polarity close to that of the data storage element and the display sheet is used for bonding, the melting temperature is 20 to 4 than the temperature used in the usual melt extrusion laminating method.
If melt extrusion is performed at a temperature as low as 0 ° C., peeling is possible. Also, a release agent layer can be formed on the surface of the display sheet or the data storage element to be joined. In this case, in order to improve the adhesion between the base material and the thermoplastic resin, and the sheet having the data storage element and the thermoplastic resin, a pre-laminate layer ( It is also possible to form a layer laminated with a thermoplastic resin in advance), an easy-adhesion layer, an anchor coat layer, a corona treatment and the like, which are also preferable.

(Iv). As a method of thermocompression bonding without interposing an adhesive, a pressure-sensitive adhesive, a thermoplastic resin, for example, a non-crystalline polyester (for example, PET-G) is used as a sheet having a data storage element, and weak thermocompression bonding is used. There is a method in which the non-crystalline polyester is melted to be laminated on the display sheet and can be peeled off.

Explaining with reference to the drawings, as a method of laminating the base material, (i). The tag adopting the method of Fig. 1 is (i
i). The tag adopting the method of Fig. 2 is (iii). The tag adopting the method of FIG. 3 is (iv). The tag adopting the above method has the layer structure shown in FIG.

In the present invention (5), the sheet having the data storage element and the base material are laminated by melt-extruding a thermoplastic resin, and the sheet having the data storage element and the base material can be peeled off (4 ) It is a described tag. As a method of pseudo-bonding the display sheet and the data storage element, it is possible to laminate by melting and extruding a thermoplastic resin,
It is preferable because the laminated state is good and stable peeling is possible. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, a thermoplastic resin may be melt extruded between a sheet having a data storage element and a base material. When the sheet having the data storage element is a sheet that is weak against heat such as a modified polyester resin, the sheet may be laminated so as to be in contact with the cooling roll. Further, in order to perform the peeling stably, it is preferable to previously apply a layer (pre-lamination layer) in which a thermoplastic resin is laminated on the surface of the base material which is in contact with the thermoplastic resin.

In the present invention (6), the recording of the visible article information on the display sheet is performed by a printer (1) to
(5) The tag described. Recording with a printer such as a thermal recording system, a thermal transfer recording system, an inkjet recording system, or an electrophotographic recording system is preferable because it is suitable for small-scale production of tags. Also, common items can be printed by each tag and variable information can be recorded by a printer.

The present invention (7) is the tag according to any one of (1) to (6), in which article information is displayed on a display sheet in a state where a plurality of tags are connected, and the tags are cut into individual tags. The connected state is, for example, a rolled-up state or a Z-shaped folded state. For example, the connected state is stored in the printer, and after recording, the tag is cut and used. Compared to independent tags, continuous tags are preferable because they are less likely to cause paper jams in the printer and are less likely to exert extra pressure on the tags.

The present invention (8) has a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and a peeling sheet on the base material surface of the tag described in any one of (1) to (7), and the peeling sheet is formed from the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. It is a tag that can be peeled off. For example, in FIG.
2, the adhesive layer 1 is formed on the substrate surface 10 of the tag 1 as described above.
6 is a stickable tag 16 which is characterized in that it has 6 and a peeling sheet 17, and the peeling sheet 17 can be peeled from the adhesive layer 16.

The adhesive layer is formed by applying an adhesive.
As the pressure-sensitive adhesive, known pressure-sensitive adhesives such as acrylic type, rubber type, vinyl ether type and urethane type can be used. It is advisable to form an adhesive layer on the back surface of the base material in advance and attach it to the tag. As the adhesive, the integrated tag and adhesive layer,
It is advisable to use a pressure-sensitive adhesive that has an adhesive strength such that it does not peel off. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is usually 5 to 50 μm, preferably 7 to 3
It is formed with a thickness of 0 μm. If necessary, the pressure-sensitive adhesive may contain auxiliary agents such as a tackifier, a cross-linking agent, a pigment and an ultraviolet absorber. Further, the base material is not particularly limited to paper, film, synthetic paper or the like, but it is sufficient if it can be peeled off from the adhesive.

The present invention (9) is a tag in which the tag with an adhesive layer of the above (8) is attached to an adherend. By sticking to an adherend such as an article or a package, the adherend can hold information.

It is preferable that both the display sheet and the base material are water-impermeable supports. It is possible to prevent the influence of water permeation on the data storage element. It is preferable to extrude the thermoplastic resin into the data storage and / or calculation unit of the data storage element, since contact with water can be prevented. At least one of the display sheet and the base material is preferably a cushioning support having voids.
The data storage element can be protected from external impact. The tag of the present invention may be provided with a magnetic recording layer, a bar code or the like.
