Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of advertising that employs a medicine bag to be offered by a pharmacy. SOLUTION: A conventional medicine bag, after being fabricated, has an overlapped part on the back face thereof, rendering it impossible to print thereon, due to the effect of protrusion and recess on the overlapped portion. In advertising by distributing to general consumers by printing on packaging bags or handouts, the consumers are liable, when they are not interested in the advertisement from the first, to throw them away hardly taking a look at the advertisement, or to scarcely read the advertisement, even if they are kept on hand for a few days, by taking them out again, thus resulting in such advertisement being unable to be termed a highly efficient advertising method. In consideration of this, the present invention provides a bag for medicine without an overlapped portion in the center of the back face, allowing advertisement to be printed thereon in advance, thereby enabling the advertisement to be kept in a patient's sight every time he or she takes a dose of medication. In addition, a printable area is provided, on the front face of the bag for medicine, wherein specific information, such as a patient's name and information regarding the medicine concerned, can be printed, thereby making it possible to print the specific information by using a printer.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a drug bag containing a drug to be provided to a patient at a dispensing pharmacy or the like, and an advertising method using the drug bag.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Referring to FIG. 4, reference numeral 100 denotes a conventional medicine bag, which is a left wing portion 101 corresponding to about left quarter of a horizontally long paper.
Similarly, the right wing portion 102 corresponding to about right ¼ is bent inwardly, and is glued to each other at the overlapping portion 103 where the two overlap at the central portion of the back surface. Then, it is manufactured by bending the return portion 104 extending from the lower edge of the front surface to the back surface side and adhering it to the back surface.

Although the surface of the conventional medicine bag 100 is not shown, a column in which the name of the patient who receives the medicine bag 100 is written, a column in which the usage of the drug provided to the patient is described, a hospital name or a dispensing pharmacy name. Required characters such as are printed. These characters are printed in advance on the position which will be the surface of the medicine bag before the above-mentioned gluing process is performed.

Printing is performed by placing ink on a plate and pressing it against paper.
Alternatively, the ink is once offset to the metal roller and is pressed against the paper while rotating the metal roller. Therefore, when printing is performed on the front surface of the medicine bag after the above-described pasting process, the influence of the unevenness due to the overlapping portion 103 on the back surface is exerted on the front surface, and particularly the portions corresponding to the left and right portions of the overlapping portion 103 are not printed well.

[0005]

Problems to be Solved by the Invention After being glued as described above and forming a medicine bag, the surface cannot be printed well. Furthermore, since the overlapping portion 103 itself exists on the back surface, printing cannot be performed. The left wing 101 and the right wing 1
It is possible to print in advance before the gluing process as long as it is a size that can be accommodated in either one of 02, but printing in a large range that extends over the left wing part 101 and the right wing part 102 is not possible. could not.

[0006] By the way, there is an advertisement in which advertisement data is printed on a leaflet or a packaging bag and distributed to general consumers.
However, if a consumer who receives such a leaflet or a packaging bag is not interested in the content of the advertisement data from the beginning, he / she discards the content of the advertisement data without seeing it and the advertisement effect is not improved. . Even if these leaflets and packaging bags are not thrown away immediately and stored for several days, it is rare that the advertisement data is read out by taking out the leaflets and packaging bags again in those few days.

In view of the above problems, it is an object of the present invention to provide a medicine bag capable of printing in a wide range including the central portion of the back surface and an advertising method with high advertising efficiency.

[0008]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a medicine bag according to the present invention is a medicine bag having no overlapping portion on at least the central portion of the back surface, and advertising data is printed in advance on at least the central portion of the back surface. It is characterized by

Further, the advertising method using the medicine bag according to the present invention is characterized in that the advertising bag is preliminarily printed at least on the center portion of the back surface of the medicine bag using the medicine bag having no overlapping portion on at least the central portion of the back surface. To do.

As in the conventional case, a medicine bag having an overlapping portion in the central portion of the back surface cannot print over a wide range on the back surface. However, if the medicine bag has no overlapping portion on at least the central portion of the back surface, it is possible to print the advertisement in advance before the paste. Since the medicine bag contains the medicine that the patient must take for several consecutive days, the medicine bag is not discarded for several days until all the medicines are taken. In addition, the patient does not leave it for a few days, but periodically holds it every time the drug should be taken. Then, every time the medicine bag is picked up, the advertisement data printed on the medicine bag is viewed.

Information about the work of filling in the name of the patient on the medicine bag and the usage of the medicine is handwritten. Also,
Information such as the name and efficacy of the drug is stored in a database, printed out on a separate sheet, and given to the patient along with the medicine bag.The name of the patient who receives the medicine bag and the medicine bag are placed on at least the surface of the medicine bag. If a print area is provided in which the printer can print individual information such as data about the medicine to be supplied, the individual information is printed on the medicine bag by feeding the medicine bag to the printer. As a result, the problem that the separate sheet on which the drug information is printed is lost and the drug information cannot be understood is resolved.

[0012]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring to FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 is a rectangular base paper. Then, the base paper 1 is folded along the center line 11 as illustrated. If the adhesive 4 is applied along at least one of the two adjacent sides of the center line 11 between the left and right sides, the medicine bag is completed by bending it as shown in FIG.

In this way, the medicine bag produced by bending the rectangular base paper 1 has the front surface 2 and the back surface 3. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the advertisement data 31 shown in FIG. 2 is printed in advance on the part which will be the back surface 3 on the base paper 1 before folding. Therefore, when the medicine bag is bent by bending along the center line 11, the advertisement data 31 over a wide range on the back surface 3 can be printed as shown in FIG.

On the other hand, on the surface to be the surface 2, the names of a dispensing pharmacy or a doctor's office which supplies a drug to a patient using this medicine bag are printed at the same time as the advertisement data 31. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the surface 2 is provided with a print area 21 on which individual information such as the name of the patient who receives the medicine bag and the data about the medicine to be put in the medicine bag is printed.

These pieces of individual information are accumulated in a database of a personal computer installed in each dispensing pharmacy at the time when the drug is provided to the patient. Therefore, when the medicines to be provided to the patient are collected, the medicine bag 10 may be fed to the printer connected to the personal computer, and may be printed on the printing area provided on the surface of the medicine bag 10. In addition, since the medicine bag 10 is formed by folding the rectangular base paper 1 in two and gluing them on each other, there is no unevenness or change in thickness as a whole, and it is possible to print neatly without any problem even when fed to a printer.

By the way, this medicine bag 10 is manufactured in large quantities by an advertising agency recruiting advertisers, printing the advertising data of the advertisers. Then, the advertising agency distributes it to each dispensing pharmacy etc. free of charge or for a fee. It should be noted that the advertisement data also includes advertisement data that limits the time limit related to the season.
Medicine bag 10 with such limited time advertisement data printed
When the deadline expires, the advertising agency goes around the dispensing pharmacy or the like to collect the unused medicine bag 10 and instead distributes the medicine bag on which new advertisement data is printed.

By the way, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the base paper 1 is folded into two parts to the left and right to form the medicine bag 10, but it is also possible to fold it into two parts up and down and glue the left and right parts to form the medicine bag. Alternatively, instead of the base paper 1, a resin film may be used to weld the front surface side and the back surface side to each other to form a resin film medicine bag.

[0018]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, since the advertisement data is printed on the medicine bag, the medicine bag is not thrown away until all the medicines in the medicine bag are taken, and an advertisement is made for each medicine taken during that time. Advertising is extremely effective because the data is visible to the patient.

If a print area for printing the individual information is also provided, it is not necessary to handwrite the individual information, and there is a problem that the printed separate sheet is lost as in the case of printing the individual information on a separate sheet. Does not happen.
