  If mail can be sent in the form of a concealed postcard both at the time of sending and receiving a reply, it is very effective because the postage for the round trip can be considerably reduced as compared with the case of mailing with a sealed letter. However, the form of the concealment postcard has various features as described above, and it is necessary to evaluate other items in addition to the concealment property of the concealment information.

  For example, since the sending side is usually a company, it is necessary for the sending side to conceal a large amount of concealment postcards using existing equipment or inexpensive equipment at the time of outgoing communication. In addition, personal information is often printed on the address side, outbound side concealment side, and return side concealment side provided on the concealment postcard, so from the viewpoint of data matching and security, it is possible to print on both sides simultaneously. It is desirable to be.

  On the other hand, since the reply side is usually an individual, the structure of the concealment postcard is not so complicated when replying, and it is also important that the reply side is easy to use so that the use method can be easily understood. It is an evaluation item.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is a concealed reciprocal postcard having a concealment function at the time of outgoing and replying, and concentrates in a short time on the outgoing side at the time of outgoing communication. Thus, it is an object of the present invention to provide a concealed reciprocating postcard which can be printed and concealed in a large amount and which is easy to understand on the recipient's side when using a reply.

  In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention is a concealed reciprocating postcard comprising postcard-sized first paper pieces, second paper pieces, and third paper pieces connected in a row, wherein the first paper pieces Has a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer coated on the surface, and the second paper piece has a peel-off paper with the destination displayed on the re-peelable adhesive layer coated on the surface and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer on the back surface. The third paper piece is coated, and an information entry column is provided on the front surface, and a reply destination is displayed on the back surface. The first paper piece and the second paper piece are separated, and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layers are overlapped. At the time of reply by giving a concealing function at the time of outgoing communication by crimping together, peeling off the release paper of the second paper piece and folding back the third paper piece, overlapping the re-peeling adhesive layer and the information entry column It is characterized by having a concealing function.

  In this case, the pressure-sensitive adhesive is only required to be applied to at least the above-described region, and may be applied to the entire surface of the postcard paper as long as other functions are not affected.

  Here, as the postcard paper, for example, various kinds of paper materials such as high-quality paper, light-weight coated paper, coated paper, and art paper can be used, and it is sufficient that at least one sheet satisfies the prescribed continuous amount of the postcard. .

  Crimping glue is a glue that has no stickiness even when touched during normal handling, and has adhesive strength by overlapping the crimping glue and applying strong pressure using a post-processing machine (dry sealer). . The joint surfaces bonded with the pressure-bonding adhesives can be peeled off and cannot be attached again after being peeled off. Examples of usable pressure-sensitive adhesives include natural rubber latex adhesives.

  The re-peeling paste is usually glue that is sticky and coated with release paper and can be attached by peeling the release paper. The pasting surface pasted with this re-peeling glue can be peeled off, and sticking and peeling can be repeated. Examples of re-peeling paste that can be used include acrylic adhesives.

  The release paper is a base paper coated with a silicone release agent. As the base paper, kraft paper or transparent film can be used.

  In the concealed reciprocating postcard of the present invention, since three paper pieces are composed of one postcard paper connected in a line, it becomes possible to simultaneously print predetermined items displayed on each paper piece. In addition, it is possible to add a concealing function to the outgoing postcard by simply overlaying the first piece of paper and the second piece of paper and then crimping with an existing post-processing machine (dry sealer). The reply postcard can be easily concealed by simply folding the three pieces of paper.

  In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in the concealed reciprocating postcard having the above-described configuration, it is desirable to continuously form a plurality of concealed reciprocal postcards composed of the first, second, and third paper pieces using continuous paper. Employing such a configuration has an advantage that a large amount of printing and concealment processing can be performed intensively in a short time, particularly in the processing at the time of outgoing communication.

  Furthermore, as another embodiment of the present invention, in the concealed reciprocating postcard having the above-described configuration, a configuration in which the postcard paper is formed in a single piece form or a configuration in which a copy paper is pasted on a part of the postcard paper is adopted. Is also possible.

  The concealed reciprocating postcard of the present invention has the following special effects for both the outgoing side and the return side.

[Effect of outgoing side]
Both postal mail and reply can be sent in postcard form instead of sealed letters, which leads to a significant cost reduction for the forwarder who pays the full postage for a large amount of mail during the round trip. In addition, because three postcard-sized pieces of paper are composed of a single postcard paper, you can print the specified items on each piece of paper at the same time. The printed information can be reliably matched. Furthermore, since the second paper piece is simply stacked and crimped on the first paper piece cut on the post-processing machine, it is possible to provide a concealing function for outgoing messages using the existing post-processing machine. There is also an effect that the postcard creation time can be shortened and the cost can be reduced.

[Reply-side effect]
When replying to a received return postcard, the personal information entered can be concealed by a simple operation of removing the folding paper and folding it, so that the reply postcard creation procedure is not complicated and can be easily understood.

  The above is the configuration of the concealed reciprocating postcard of the present embodiment. Hereinafter, the method of using the postcard will be described separately when sending and returning.

  FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing a method of use during outgoing communication.

  First, on the outgoing side, as shown in FIG. 3a, the following items are printed on predetermined positions of the first paper piece P1, the second paper piece P2, and the third paper piece P3 of the concealed reciprocating postcard P, respectively.

  In the first piece of paper P1, concealment information that needs to be concealed during outgoing communication is printed in the concealment information description column 13 on the front side. In the information description column 14 (see FIG. 1b) on the back side, information that does not need to be concealed at the time of outgoing communication, here, an example of entry of an account transfer request form and a procedure for creating a reply postcard are printed.

  On the second paper piece P2, a letter “postal mail postcard (outbound mail)” is printed in red on the mail display section 26 on the front side, and the destination at the time of the outbound mail is printed on the outbound mail destination display section 27 of the release paper 25. In the concealment information description column 23 (see FIG. 1b) on the back side, concealment information that needs to be concealed at the time of outgoing communication is printed.

  On the third piece of paper P3, in the concealment information description column 32 on the front side, concealment information that needs to be concealed when replying, here, an entry frame for an account transfer request form is printed.

  Here, the concealed reciprocating postcard P is composed of a single postcard paper 1 in which three paper pieces are connected in a horizontal row, and items to be displayed on the respective paper pieces can be simultaneously printed by a printer. For this reason, matching mistakes can be prevented and printing efficiency is improved.

  Next, the first paper piece P1 is separated from the concealed reciprocating postcard P as shown in FIG. 3b. A cutting line 2 is formed at the boundary between the first paper piece P1 and the second paper piece P2. On the outgoing side, the cutting line 2 is slit by a slitter of a post-processing machine (dry sealer).

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 3c, the second paper piece P2 is superimposed on the cut first paper piece P1, and the two paper pieces are bonded together. Here, from the front and back of both paper pieces, the post-processing machine aligns the positions of both paper pieces with the feed holes 11 at the left end of the first paper piece P1 and the feed holes 21 at the left end of the second paper piece P2. Apply a predetermined pressure. Thus, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 12 on the front side of the first paper piece P1 and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 on the back side of the second paper piece P2 are pseudo-bonded so as to be peelable. As a result, both the first paper piece P1 and the second paper piece P2 can be aligned and bonded so as to be in the same position without being misaligned, and a concealing function can be provided when sending and receiving the reciprocating postcard.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3d, the feed hole portions at the left and right ends of the concealed reciprocating postcard P are cut off. This can be done by slitting both the cutting line 5 (4) inside the feed hole 21 (11) at the left end and the cutting line 6 inside the feed hole 31 at the right end with a slitter of a post-processing machine.

  Finally, the outgoing mail side mails the concealed return postcard P as shown in FIG. 3e. At the time of outgoing communication, in the concealed reciprocating postcard P, the connected second paper piece P2 and third paper piece P3 correspond to the postcard body, and the first paper piece P1 and release paper 25 correspond to the attachment.

  In other words, the postcard body satisfies a specified reaming amount of 2 g or more, the postcard paper 1 serving as the main body has the letters of the postal display section 26 and the outgoing mail destination display section 27 on the release paper 25, and is further attached to the second paper piece P2. The attached release paper 25 and the first paper piece P1 pseudo-adhered to the second paper piece P2 are attachments that can be attached up to one front and back of the postcard body. For this reason, the concealed reciprocating postcard P at the time of outgoing communication can satisfy all postcard standards in the postal law.

  The two surfaces of the concealment information description column 13 on the front side of the first paper piece P1 and the concealment information description column 23 on the back side of the second paper piece P2 are securely concealed by bonding the pressure-sensitive adhesive layers 12 and 22 together. Can be mailed at.

  FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing a method of use when replying.

  First, as shown in FIG. 4a, the return side peels off the first paper piece P1 of the concealed reciprocating postcard P. The first paper piece P1 and the second paper piece P2 are peeled between the pressure-sensitive adhesive layers 12 and 22, and are thereby described in the concealment information description column 13 of the first paper piece P1 and the concealment information description column 23 of the second paper piece P2. Information can be confirmed.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 4b, personal information is entered in the account transfer request form in the concealment information description column 32 of the third paper piece P3. Here, the first piece of paper P1 that was peeled off contains an example of an account transfer request form and the procedure for creating a reply postcard, so make sure to write and create a reply postcard against this. Can do.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 4C, the release paper 25 attached to the second paper piece P2 is peeled off. The second paper piece P2 and the release paper 25 are peeled between the re-peeling adhesive layer 24 and the release agent layer 25b, whereby the re-peeling adhesive layer 24 is exposed on the surface of the second paper piece P2.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4d, the fold line 3 is valley-folded to fold the third paper piece P3. Here, the third paper piece P3 superposed on the second paper piece P2 is in a state of being pseudo-bonded so as to be peelable by the re-peeling adhesive layer 24. As a result, a concealment function can be provided when a return postcard is returned.

  Finally, the return side mails the concealed return postcard P as shown in FIG. 4e. At the time of reply, in this concealed reciprocating postcard P, the third paper piece P3 corresponds to the postcard body, and the second paper piece P2 corresponds to the attachment.

  That is, the postcard body satisfies a prescribed continuous amount of 2 g or more, the postcard display portion 33 has the characters of the postal display portion 33 and the reply destination display portion 34 on the postcard paper 1 serving as the main body, and is pseudo-bonded to the third paper piece P3. A piece of paper P2 is an attachment that can be attached up to one front and back of the postcard body. For this reason, the concealed reciprocating postcard P at the time of reply can satisfy all postcard standards in the postal law.

  Further, one surface of the concealment information description column 32 on the third paper piece P3 can be mailed in a reliable concealed state by bonding the second paper piece P2 with the re-peeling adhesive layer 24. Upon receiving the returned concealed reciprocating postcard P, the sender side peels off the re-peeling adhesive layer 24 to confirm the personal information entered in the concealment information description column 32 of the third paper piece P3, and the paperwork is performed.

  In the above-described embodiment, the following various modifications can be considered. For example, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layers 12 and 22 are applied only on the front surface of the first paper piece P1 and the back surface of the second paper piece P2, but instead, they are applied on the entire front and back surfaces of the postcard paper 1. It doesn't matter.

  In addition, as a configuration in which the postcard paper 1 is formed in a single piece form or a configuration in which a copy paper is attached to a part of the postcard paper 1, for example, a copy of the concealment information description column 32 (here, the account transfer request form) to be filled in by the reply side is provided. A configuration can also be adopted. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to add a copy function to a round-trip postcard having a concealment function at the time of outgoing and reply, and the business range in which the concealed round-trip postcard P can be used is greatly expanded. There are advantages.
