Description

[0001]
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a display tag continuum in which display tags are continuously arranged, and more particularly, to a display tag continuum in which tint block printing or solid printing is performed using a rotary printing press or an intermittent rotary printing press.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, clothing called a display tag on which a product name, a price, a size, a rod number and the like are printed is attached to clothing. In particular, display tags attached to brand products (hereinafter referred to as brand tags) not only have variable information such as product name, price and size printed thereon, but also have a design and Fixed pattern printing and solid printing, which are fixed information such as company name and brand, are applied and emphasized.
[0003]
Display tags with background pattern printing or solid printing on the background are installed at product manufacturing sites or product sales sites, etc., using continuous paper with fixed pattern background printing or solid printing as a continuous display tag. After the printer is loaded with the printer and variable information such as a product name, price, and size is printed by the printer, the printer is cut by a cutter mechanism of the printer.
[0004]
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a configuration of a conventional display tag continuum.
For tint block printing and solid printing on long paper, rotary printing machines and intermittent rotary printing machines are used because tint block printing and solid printing can be performed at high speed.However, in rotary printing machines and intermittent rotary printing machines, plate cylinders are used. Since a plate-shaped plate material is wound around and formed into a cylindrical shape, a seam (gap) is formed, and when printing is performed using this, the conventional display tag continuum 4 has a structure as shown in FIG. Then, streak-like joint marks A are generated in the pattern. When such a conventional display tag continuum 4 is loaded into a printer and printing and cutting of variable information are performed, the seam marks A remain above and below the display tag even when the seam marks A are cut. As a result, the manufactured display tag has a poor appearance. In addition, as a plate without a seam in a rotary printing press, there is an endless plate by a method of manufacturing a plate on a drum, but it takes a long time to manufacture and is expensive.
[0005]
Therefore, the present applicant aims to provide a method of manufacturing a perforated display tag capable of efficiently producing a display tag on which a high-quality copy-forgery-inhibited pattern printing or solid printing is performed. It has been proposed that a perforation is formed by making them coincide with each other to make the joint trace A inconspicuous (for example, see Patent Document 1).

[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the prior art, although it is an effective method for a perforated display tag, in a display tag having no perforation, a seam mark A generated in tint block printing or solid printing still deteriorates the appearance of the display tag. However, there was a problem that a fundamental solution had not been reached.
[0008]
The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a printing press (for example, a rotary printing press, an intermittent rotary printing press) using a printing plate in which a joint mark A is generated in tint block printing or solid printing. (Printing machine, lithographic printing machine, etc.), even if the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern printing or solid printing is performed by the printer, when the variable information is cut after printing and the display tag is separated, the joint trace A of the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern printing or solid printing is An object of the present invention is to provide a display tag continuum capable of obtaining a high-quality display tag that does not exist.
[0009]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention has the following configurations in order to solve the above problems.
The gist of the invention according to claim 1 is a display tag continuum in which tint block printing or solid printing in which a joint trace of a printing plate is performed is performed, and one display tag is separated by one cut by a cutting mechanism, The pre-cut cut into the shape of the display tag while leaving only one side cut by the cutting mechanism is continuous so that the joint trace of the tint block printing or solid printing is located between the consecutive display tags. The display tag continuum is characterized in that the display tag continuity is formed.
The gist of the invention according to claim 2 is that the uncut portion of the precut is wound in a roll shape so as to be located on the front side in the unwinding direction. Exist in the body.
[0010]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
[0011]
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of an embodiment of a display tag continuum according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of a printing apparatus that manufactures a display tag continuum according to the present invention.
[0012]
Referring to FIG. 1, the display tag continuum 1 according to the present embodiment has a fixed pattern printing or solid printing, which is fixed information such as a design, a company name, and a brand, and has a shape corresponding to the shape of the display tag. The display tag on which the character-shaped precuts 2 are formed is continuous paper, and the variable information is printed by a printer (not shown) that prints variable information such as a product name, a price, and a size, and the variable information is printed. Thereafter, the display tag is cut off by cutting a cut position indicated by a dotted line in FIG. 1 by a cut mechanism (not shown) of the printer.
[0013]
Referring to FIG. 1, the precut 2 includes a pair of horizontal cuts and a vertical cut on one side, and is cut into a display tag shape except for one side cut by a cutting mechanism of the printer. The pair of horizontal cuts are cut to a length equal to or greater than the horizontal width of the display tag, and the vertical cut of one side is cut to the same length as the vertical width of the display tag. Therefore, one display tag is separated by one cut by the cut mechanism of the printer.
[0014]
The copy-forgery-inhibited pattern printing and the solid printing are performed by a printing apparatus (for example, a rotary printing press, an intermittent rotary printing press, a planographic printing press, etc.) using a printing plate having a seam, and a seam mark A is generated. However, as shown in FIG. 1, the precut 2 is formed so that the joint trace A is arranged between the consecutive display tags. Therefore, by cutting the cut position indicated by the dotted line in FIG. 1 by the cut mechanism (not shown) of the printer, the display tag can be cut off without including the joint trace A.
[0015]
Each display tag of the display tag continuum 1 has a threading hole 3 formed therein. In a printer in which the display tag continuum 1 is loaded, the threading hole 3 is provided with a position detection mark (timing mark). The print position and the cut position can be determined by detecting with a photoelectric sensor. Note that, instead of the threading hole 3, a timing mark made of black ink or the like may be printed on the back surface of the display tag continuum 1 or the like.
[0016]
Although FIG. 1 illustrates an example of a rectangular display tag, the shape of the display tag is not limited to a rectangle, and is applicable to display tags having various shapes. That is, since it is sufficient that the precut 2 is formed while leaving only one side cut by the printer in which the display tag continuum 1 is loaded, display tags of various shapes can be supported by changing the shape of the precut 2. can do.
[0017]
Since the display tag portion of the display tag continuum 1 is a long paper on which a tint block printing or a solid printing of a continuous pattern having no joint trace A is performed, the roll material around which the display tag continuation 1 is wound The roll-shaped display tag continuum 1 can be loaded and used in a printer having a cutter mechanism. When the display tag continuum 1 is a roll, if the pre-cut 2 is wound so that the uncut portion of the pre-cut 2 is located in the unwinding direction, that is, the front side in the transport direction by the printer, the printing unit such as a thermal head in the printer can be used. This is preferable because it can be transported so as not to be caught.
[0018]
FIG. 2 shows a printing apparatus 10 for manufacturing the display tag continuum 1 of the present embodiment. The printing apparatus 10 includes a paper feed roll 12 to which a roll paper 11 is attached, a printing unit 13 for performing tint block printing or solid printing on the roll paper 11, and a die cut for forming a precut 2 on the roll paper 11 according to the shape of a display tag. And a take-up roll 15 for winding the roll paper 11 on which the precuts 2 are continuously formed as the display tag continuum 1. The roll paper 11 has a width wider than the vertical width of the display tag.
[0019]
The roll paper 11 unwound from the paper feed roll 12 is first subjected to tint block printing or solid printing by the printing unit 13. The printing unit 13 uses a printing press (for example, a rotary printing press, an intermittent rotary printing press, or a lithographic printing press) that uses a printing plate in which a seam is present in the printing plate and a seam mark A is generated when performing tint block printing or solid printing. In such a printing press, an inexpensive printing plate can be used, so that the manufacturing cost of the display tag continuum 1 can be reduced.
[0020]
Next, after the precut 2 is continuously formed by the die cut unit 14, the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern printing or the solid printing is performed, and the roll paper 11 on which the precut 2 is continuously formed is wound on the take-up roll 15 as the display tag continuous body 1. It is wound up.
[0021]
When manufacturing the display tag continuum 1 by the printing apparatus 10, when the roll paper 11 having a mark (timing mark) for detecting the position of the threading hole 3 or the like is used in advance, the mark for position detection is used. May be detected by the photoelectric sensor to determine the printing position of the tint block printing or the solid printing by the printing unit 13 and the forming position of the precut 2 by the die cutting unit 14. When using the roll paper 11 which does not exist, a mark for position detection corresponding to the printing position of the tint block printing or the solid printing by the printing unit 13 is formed on the roll paper 11 by some means (a printing means provided separately). Printing may be performed, and the position detection mark may be detected by a photoelectric sensor to determine the position where the die cut unit 14 forms the precut 2.
[0022]
As described above, according to the present embodiment, only one side cut by the printer is left uncut so that the joint trace A of tint block printing or solid printing is arranged between consecutive display tags. A printing press (for example, a rotary printing press, an intermittent rotary printing press, a lithographic printing press) using a printing plate in which a seam mark A is formed in tint block printing or solid printing by continuously forming the precuts 2 cut in the shape of Etc.), even if the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern printing or solid printing has been performed, when the variable tag is cut after printing the variable information and the display tag is separated, a high-quality display with no joint trace A in the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern printing or solid printing This has the effect that a tag can be obtained.
[0023]
It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and it is clear that each embodiment can be appropriately modified within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention. Further, the number, position, shape, and the like of the constituent members are not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be set to numbers, positions, shapes, and the like suitable for carrying out the present invention. In the drawings, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals.
[0024]
【The invention's effect】
The display tag continuum of the present invention is cut into the shape of a display tag by leaving only one side cut by a printer so that seams of tint block printing or solid printing are arranged between successive display tags. By continuously forming the precuts 2, a tint block printing or a solid printing is performed by a printing machine (for example, a rotary printing machine, an intermittent rotary printing machine, a lithographic printing machine, etc.) using a printing plate in which seams are generated in the tint block printing or the solid printing. Even if printing is performed, when the printer cuts the variable information after printing and separates the display tag, it is possible to obtain a high-quality display tag having no joint trace A in the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern printing or solid printing. It works.
