Description

  The present invention relates to a reciprocal postcard, and more particularly, to a reciprocal postcard in which a forward mail section and a reply section constituting the reciprocal postcard are folded and pasted so that a reply can be made.

In the conventional round-trip postcard used in the past, the outgoing credit postcard and the reply postcard are connected to one sheet, and a separation line is attached to the boundary between both postcards. In use, the person who sends the round-trip postcard (outgoing party) first fills in the name of the person who will receive the round-trip postcard (responder) in the address field of the post-postcard postcard, the entry of the matters to be communicated, etc. If necessary, enter the name of the reply address in the reply post address field and post it. The person who has received the above-mentioned return postcard (responder) fills in the reply postcard, fills in the address and name of the reply destination, etc., and further uses the bag etc. to send the forward postcard and reply postcard along the planned separation line. Cut and separate, and post the separated reply postcard. The reply postcard separated from the return postcard has the same size and weight as the normal postcard, and can be mailed at the normal postcard fee. If you post it without separating it, it is twice the size of a normal postcard and cannot be mailed with a normal postcard fee.
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-118269 describes that a forward postcard and a reply postcard are pasted together via an adhesive layer so that a reply can be made with the aim of improving the confidentiality of information described in the reply postcard. ing. Note that the outgoing postcard of the same document has a structure in which a transparent or translucent release paper is provided on the surface via a pseudo adhesive layer. Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-159592 discloses a postcard sheet in which a concealment sheet that conceals confidentiality information of a postcard is superimposed on a postcard, and a part of the information is represented by providing a through hole in the concealment sheet. The point to make it come out is described.

  According to the conventionally used round-trip postcard, when replying, it is necessary to separate the outgoing postcard and the reply postcard with a scissors or the like, which is inconvenient to handle. There is a problem in that if you reply without cutting and separating at the time of reply, you cannot mail with the normal postcard fee. There is also a problem that privacy is not maintained because the information described in the reply postcard is exposed to the human eye even if it is not cut and separated when replying.

  On the other hand, in recent years, personal information is managed by a computer, and printing on various forms is performed by a printer device connected to the computer. The address of the round-trip postcard to the sending / receiving part and the replying part and other information (reference number, member number, member name, address, transaction information, etc.) are also printed by a printer device connected to the computer.

  When the reply postcard surface is provided with a re-peelable and re-adhesive pressure-sensitive adhesive layer so that the reply postcard and the reply postcard are bonded via the adhesive layer at the time of reply, The tack strength is lower than that of adhesives that do not require peeling and re-sticking (adhesives that are difficult to peel off), so the release paper on which information is printed may fall off from the reciprocating postcard during the printing process by the computer. In such a case, there is also a problem that it is difficult to correctly specify the release paper dropped out from a large number of reciprocating postcards.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an outgoing postcard suitable for computer printing while taking privacy into consideration.

  This invention solves said subject by the means as described in each following aspect.

  The first aspect of the present invention comprises a reciprocal postcard transmission part (2) and a reciprocal postcard reply part (3) connected to the forward communication part in the reciprocal postcard. An adhesive layer (8) that can be applied is provided, a release paper (5) having concealing properties is provided on the adhesive layer (8), and at least an address display column and a certificate column on the surface of the release paper (5) (20) is provided, an entry field is provided in the reply section (3), and the reply section (2) is provided via the adhesive layer (8) that appears when the release paper (5) is peeled off when replying. ) And the surface provided with the entry field of the reply section (3) can be folded and pasted.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, a postcard type (10) indicating that the postcard is a reciprocating postcard body (1) is printed on the outgoing mail section (2) according to the first aspect, and The release paper (5) is provided with a postcard type expression section (6) for expressing the postcard type (10).

  The third aspect of the present invention is characterized in that the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer (8) is not provided on the surface of the outgoing communication part in the region corresponding to the postcard type expression part (6) described in the second aspect. A return postcard.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the postcard type expression part (6) according to any one of the second or third aspects is a hole penetrating the release paper (5) and passing through the hole. This is characterized in that the postcard type (10) printed on the outgoing mail section (2) is displayed.

  According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the reciprocating postcard according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, information printed on the surface of the release paper (5) and an entry field of the reply unit (3) are provided. A part of the information printed on the surface is made common.

  A sixth aspect of the present invention is characterized in that the release paper (5) according to any one of the first to fifth aspects is a paper substrate.

  (1) According to the first aspect of the present invention, the reply section and the reply section can be pasted and sent back via the adhesive layer that can be re-removed and pasted on the surface of the send section. There is an effect that the privacy of the information entered in is maintained. Furthermore, since the release paper having the concealing property is used, there is an effect that arbitrary information can be displayed on the surface of the transmission part covered with the release paper.

  (2) According to the second aspect of the present invention, in addition to the effect of the first aspect, the postcard type printed on the outgoing mail part is displayed via the postcard type expression part provided on the release paper. Therefore, there is an effect that a reciprocal postcard that satisfies at least the requirements as a reciprocal postcard defined in the Postal Code at the time of filing of the present application can be obtained.

  (3) According to the third aspect of the present invention, in addition to the effect of the second aspect, there is no adhesive in the postcard type expression part, so the influence of the adhesive layer on the release paper surface side of the reciprocating postcard (sticky) There is an effect that a feeling does not occur.

  (4) According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, in addition to the effect of the second aspect, the postcard type expression part provided on the release paper is constituted by a hole penetrating the release paper. The effect of stickiness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer provided on the surface of the release paper is less likely to occur on the release paper surface.

  (5) According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, in addition to the effects of any one of the first to fourth aspects, even if the release paper is dropped from the reciprocating postcard, the release paper that has dropped off is identified immediately by common information. There is an effect that can be done.

  (6) According to the sixth aspect of the present invention, in addition to the effects of any one of the first to fifth aspects, the release paper 5 is a paper base, and the reciprocating postcard is also usually a paper base. There is an effect that the printing on the release paper surface (D surface) and the printing on the return surface (B surface) can be performed under the same printing conditions using the same printer.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
1 is a schematic diagram showing an embodiment of a reciprocating postcard according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view of the reciprocating postcard according to the present invention, FIG. 3A is a sectional view taken along the line XX ′ of FIG. ) Is a cross-sectional view showing a modification of FIG. In the figure, 1 is a reciprocating postcard body, 2 is a forward mail section, 3 is a reply section, 4 is a folding line, 5 is a release paper, 6 is a postcard type expression section, and 8 is a releasable and re-adhesive adhesive layer ( 10 is a postcard type, 11 is an ink layer printed or printed on a reciprocating postcard, and 20 is a certificate column.
The reciprocating postcard body 1 is composed of an outgoing part 2 and a reply part 3, and there is a folding line 4 at the boundary between both parts.
A postcard type 10 indicated by the postcard type is printed on the outgoing communication unit 2 and the reply unit 3.

The reason why the postcard type 10 is provided in the outgoing communication unit 2 and the reply unit 3 is as follows.
In other words, at least at the time of filing this application, the “Japan Post Covenant” (hereinafter simply referred to as the Postal Law) established by the Japan Post, the “postal return postcard” character (“ "Postcard type") is displayed ".

  Therefore, in the current postal code, if the “postcard type” indicating that the paper is a reciprocating postcard is printed on the release paper 5, the release paper 5 itself is the reciprocating postcard body. However, since there is no reply portion in the release paper 5 itself, such a configuration is not a mail postcard that can be handled by mail in the current postal law.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described by taking as an example one that can be handled as a reciprocating postcard on the current postal method. (In FIGS. 1, 2, 4, and 5, “postcard” is schematically shown as an example of postcard type 10.)
In addition to the postcard type 10 described above, information desired to be communicated can be arbitrarily printed and displayed on the outgoing message section 2. A pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 8 that can be re-removed and re-applied is provided on substantially the entire printed surface (side A) of the postcard type 10 of the transmission section 2, and the release paper 5 is provided on the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 8.

  The release paper 5 is subjected to a release treatment on the surface in contact with the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 8. The release paper 5 is provided with a postcard type expression unit 6 for displaying the postcard type 10. The postcard type expression unit 6 displays the postcard type 10 printed on the outgoing communication unit 2 through a hole penetrating the release paper 5.

  In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3 (a) and 3 (b), the postcard type expression unit 6 shows an example in which a plurality of circular holes are arranged. As shown in FIG. 2, the postcard type expression unit 6 is aligned with the character “reciprocal postcard” indicating the postcard type 10 printed on the front surface (A surface) of the outgoing message unit 2, and the postcard type expression unit 6 is transparent. The postcard type 10 can be seen from the surface (D surface) of the release paper 5.

  The embodiment shown in FIG. 3A is an example in the case where the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 8 is uniformly formed on the entire surface of the transmission part 2. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3A, since the postcard type expression portion 6 has a plurality of circular holes arranged, the influence (stickiness) of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 8 hardly occurs on the surface of the release paper.

  The embodiment shown in FIG. 3B is an example in which an adhesive is formed in a pattern so that the adhesive layer 8 is not provided on the surface of the outgoing communication part in the region corresponding to the postcard expression part 6. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3B, the influence (stickiness) of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 8 does not occur at all on the release paper surface side.

  An address display field and a certificate paper field are provided on the surface (D surface) of the release paper 5. In the certificate column, a postage stamp is attached, or information about the certificate printed with “postpaid postage” is added. In addition, it is possible to print or print using margins as long as the advertisement and explanation of how to use the return postcard are within the scope of the Postal Code.

  On the surface (B surface) of the reply unit 3 on the same side as the surface (A surface) on which the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 2 is formed, an entry field is provided for the responder to fill in necessary information when replying. For example, if the round-trip postcard is an account transfer guide, the name and address of the member and a reference number as necessary are attached to the surface of the release paper 5 of the outgoing mail section 2. Variable information such as a member's name, address, and reference number is printed by a printer, and other fixed information is fixedly printed in advance using, for example, an offset type printing apparatus.

  On the other hand, the reply postcard entry field is provided with a member number, a member's name, and a field for filling in the member's deposit account (financial institution name, deposit type, deposit account number, credit number, etc.). Variable information such as the member's name and member number is printed by a printer, and other fixed information is printed in advance. The side opposite to the side (B side) in which the entry column of the reply postcard is formed, that is, the side (C side) on which the address of the reply destination at the time of reply is formed is usually only fixed information, and is fixedly printed in advance. .

  Next, print information when printing information on a computer with a printer device will be described. The reciprocating postcard of the present invention performs printer printing in a state where the release paper 5 (D side) and the reply unit 3 (B side) on the outgoing communication unit 2 are opened. Therefore, the information printed on the surface (D surface) of the release paper 5 on the outgoing communication unit 2 and the information printed on the reply unit 3 (B surface) are completely matched. Therefore, by setting a part of the information printed on the front surface (D surface) of the release paper 5 on the outgoing communication unit 2 and the information printed on the reply unit 3 (B surface) as unique information, Even if the release paper 5 is dropped from the reciprocating postcard body 1, it is possible to immediately identify both.

  As an example, if the return postcard is an account transfer guide, a member number (for example, XYZ-12345) is printed on the reply unit 3 (B-side), and a reference number partially shared with the member number (for example, No. ABC- XYZ-12345) is printed on the margin of the surface (D surface) of the release paper 5 of the outgoing communication unit 2. By doing so, the common information (XYZ-12345) common to the release paper 5 and the reply unit 3 is given, so if you search the personal information database on the computer using this information as a clue, The resulting personal information can be identified, and it is possible to immediately reissue an account transfer guide addressed to the individual.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining a usage form of a reciprocating postcard according to the present invention. When a predetermined item is entered in the reply unit 3 and returned, the release paper 5 is first peeled off as indicated by the arrow P in FIG. Next, the adhesive layer 8 forming surface (A surface) of the transmission section 2 that appears by peeling off the release paper 5 and the entry column forming surface (B surface) of the reply section 3 are folded as indicated by an arrow Q in FIG. Then stick it. Since the reply address and the certificate column 21 are pre-printed on the opposite side (C side) of the entry field forming side (B side) of the reply unit 3, the returner can simply post it after folding it.

(Example)
A specific example of the reciprocating postcard of the present invention will be described in more detail.
A high-quality paper having a basis weight of 127.9 grams / square meter (110 kilograms / sixty-six) was used as the paper stock used for the reciprocating postcard body 1 (outbound section 2 and reply section 3) of the present invention.
Fixed information such as character designs required as back and forth postcards were printed on the front and back of the original paper. As a result, a region to be the outgoing communication unit 2 and the return unit 3 is formed.

  Next, an adhesive layer 8 is formed by pattern-applying an adhesive that can be re-removed and re-applied on the surface (A surface) of the region to be the outgoing message part 2 among the regions to be the outgoing message part 2 and the reply part 3. As the adhesive, an acrylic microsphere adhesive mainly composed of 2E-HA (2-ethylhexyl acrylate) was used.

  Next, a sprocket hole and a cut perforation were formed on the processed paper original and processed into a continuous form.

  Next, the separately prepared release paper 5 is collated on the surface (surface A) on which the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 8 of the paper processed into the continuous form is formed. The release paper 5 is obtained by applying a release ink (ultraviolet curable offset ink in which silicone is mixed) to a high-quality paper having a basis weight of 64.0 grams / square meter (55 kilograms / sixty-four) by an offset printing method. used.

  A continuous form obtained through the above-described steps was set in a printer device, predetermined variable information was printed, and finally the reciprocal postcard of the present invention was obtained by cutting in a reciprocal postcard unit.

(Modification)
The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, and various modifications are possible, and these are also within the equivalent scope of the present invention.

  For example, an example of a plurality of circular holes is shown as a specific example of the postcard type expression unit 6, but the length of one side of the release paper 5 is made shorter than the outgoing communication unit 2 as shown in FIG. The postcard type 10 may be displayed. Moreover, you may provide a notch in a part of release paper 5 like FIG.5 (b). Moreover, an elliptical opening may be used as shown in FIG.
