Description

  The present invention relates to a label continuum including a label piece that can be attached to a luggage or the like by a label attaching device.

  The delivery company uses so-called delivery slips with machine-readable identification codes (for example, barcodes, two-dimensional codes, alphanumeric characters for OMR (Optical Mark Reader), etc.) attached to manage the deliverables. ing. Delivery slips include requester copy slips, delivery vendor copy slips (sales slips), dealer copy slips, stickers attached to deliverables, delivery slips that also serve as proof of delivery to recipients A plurality of slips having roles are integrated, and a common unique identification code is attached to each slip. The identification code attached to the delivery slip is associated with customer information and delivery operation information electronically managed on a computer.

  In general, the delivery slip is used for a delivery item having different contents. That is, the delivery slip assumes a general case in which items such as size, weight, and delivery item type are entered in the slip for each delivery item.

  On the other hand, the contents of articles delivered at the same time are the same for weekly magazines and advertising pamphlets, even if they are delivered to different destinations. For delivery items under such specific conditions, the delivery status can be confirmed by pasting the barcode label on the delivery item without using the general delivery slip as described above. Yes. Delivery items under such specific conditions are being widely used because the delivery cost is low by using delivery means using barcode labels represented by a label continuum as shown in FIG. 4A, for example. .

  Fig.4 (a) has shown the top view of the conventional label continuous body. In the figure, 1 is a unit label piece constituting a label continuum, 3 is a release paper for sticking and supporting the unit label piece 1 through an adhesive layer applied to the back surface of the unit label piece 1, 41 It is an identification code given to the unit label piece. The label continuum shown in FIG. 4A has the simplest configuration and is called a so-called bar code label. The barcode label will be described with reference to FIG. On the surface of the unit label piece 1, fixed information such as the name of the delivery company, telephone number, and logo is fixedly printed in advance by an offset printing method or the like, and the column for printing the identification code (for example, barcode) is blank. ing. A bar code based on identification information associated with delivery information managed on a computer is prepared in a column in which a large number of such unit label pieces are arranged on a long release sheet. Is printed on the printer.

The bar code label shown in FIG. 4A has a rounded rectangular shape and is formed in an island shape on the release paper 3. In order to obtain such an island shape, a rounded rectangular slit (cut) is applied to the label substrate, and unnecessary portions other than the portion to be the unit label piece 1 are peeled off and removed (raised). (For example, see Patent Document 1)
The rounded rectangular barcode label obtained as described above is peeled off from the release paper and attached to the delivery. In some cases, the unit label piece 1 is attached to the luggage 50 by using a label attaching apparatus as shown in FIG.

Here, a label sticking apparatus is demonstrated using FIG. There are various types of label applicators, from small and simple handler labelers, to large-scale, automatic labeling devices equipped with a printing mechanism that can handle high-speed processing. The sticking principle is all common. First, a roll-shaped label roll (label continuous body) in which a large number of unit label pieces 1 are arranged on a long release paper 3 is set on the label roll unit 30. The release paper 3 (label continuous body) in which a large number of unit label pieces 1 are arranged in the flow direction from the label roll section 30 is changed in the flow direction by the folding section 31 in the direction of arrow K in FIG. At this time, by making the rigidity of the label base material of the unit label piece 1 stronger than that of the release paper, the unit label piece 1 is peeled off from the release paper 3 together with the adhesive layer, and along the arrow L in FIG. Is pasted.
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-18243 relates to a label continuum. In this document, in order to solve the problem of printing on a label with a thermal head, a band is cut at both ends of the label on the peeling mount. The point which was provided without being described.

  However, even for a specific delivery item as described above, the delivery system uses the same delivery system as a general delivery item using the delivery slip, and the barcode system is the same. Therefore, copy paper corresponding to the barcode label (unit label piece 1) is separately prepared and managed on the delivery company side. There is a problem peculiar to the delivery field that a transcription error occurs in order to transcribe the information on the label attached to the delivery to the copy sheet.

  Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 4B and 4C, in addition to the unit label piece 1 (main label) serving as a bar code label, a delivery company copy label 20 and a request copy copy 21 are provided. It is conceivable that an identification code is printed on the recording label pieces 20 and 21 simultaneously with printing on the unit label piece 1 (main label). FIG. 4B shows an example in which copy label pieces 20 and 21 are provided so as to be connected to one side of the unit label piece 1 (main label). FIG. 4C shows an example in which copy label pieces 20 and 21 connected to the left and right of the unit label piece 1 (main label) are provided. In the barcode labels as shown in FIGS. 4B and 4C, there is a problem that the label pieces 20 and 21 for recording are also stuck on the luggage by the label sticking device.

  A label sticking device can be devised and a separate label sticker 20 or 21 can be selectively attached to copy paper prepared separately. However, since a general label sticking device cannot be used, a special mechanism with a special mechanism is provided. There will be a problem that the label sticking apparatus of the specification will be prepared, and the label sticking apparatus will be expensive.

  Therefore, the present invention can leave a label member that can be used as a record in addition to a normal label piece (main label) to be affixed to a package, and can be used as it is by a general-purpose label sticking apparatus. The purpose is to provide a continuum.

  The present invention solves the above problems by means described in the following claims.

  (Claim 1) In the label continuum in which a large number of unit label pieces (1) (main labels) are arranged on the release surface of the release paper (3) so as to be peelable through the adhesive layer (2), A strip-shaped label portion (10 or 11) is provided along the arrangement of the unit label pieces (1) (main label), and the strip-shaped label portion (10 or 11) includes the unit label piece (1) (main label) and It is divided at the same period, and each division of the strip-shaped label portion (10 or 11) is given an identification code associated with the corresponding unit label piece (1) (main label). Label continuum.

  (Claim 2) The label continuous body according to claim 1, wherein a fold line or a cut line is provided at a boundary of each section of the belt-like label portion (10 or 11).

  (Claim 3) The boundary of each section of the strip-shaped label portion (10 or 11) and the release paper (3) are provided with a common fold line or a cut line. Label continuum.

  (Claim 4) The unit label piece (1) (main label) is provided so as to overlap at least a part of a fold line or a cut line provided on the release paper (3). Item 4. A continuous label according to item 3.
