Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a non-mounting label continuum that does not use a mount (release paper) for protecting an adhesive, and more particularly to a non-mounting label continuum that is obtained by cutting from a perforation to obtain a single-sheet non-mounting label piece. It is.

Conventionally, it has a strip-shaped label base material, and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is provided on the back side of the label base material, a printing layer is provided on the surface of the label base material, and a release agent layer such as silicon oil is provided on the upper layer of the printing layer. A continuous labelless body wound in a roll is used. Such a baseless label continuous body can be cut at this portion by providing a perforation, and can be a single-sheet baseless label piece.

For the perforation of such a continuous label without a mount, the non-cut portion of the perforation is formed short to facilitate cutting and to clean the cut surface, and the adhesive is less likely to enter the cut portion of the perforation. In order to do so, the perforation cuts are formed short. That is, the length of the perforated cut portion and the non-cut portion is short and substantially equal.

However, since the perforations of the continuous labelless body as described above are very short and fine, it is difficult to find the perforated label continuous body. In other words, there is a problem in that it has to be pulled out too much and must be returned, or the efficiency of the work of cutting the perforation into a label piece is poor.
In addition, there is a problem that it is difficult to identify the perforations that should be originally separated, such as when a single perforated label piece is further provided with a perforation and later separated from the perforation provided on the label piece.

In addition, it is easy to cut, and the cut surface can be cleaned, and the adhesive does not easily penetrate, and as a strip-shaped display tag without a mount, a perforation composed of a cut portion and a non-cut portion is formed on the display tag base material, There is the following publication which is a strip-shaped display card without a base sheet that can be cut at the perforation portion, and the cut portion and the non-cut portion have substantially the same size.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-340050.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and can easily recognize the position of the perforation formed on the continuous labelless body with a simple structure and cut the perforation into a label piece. It is an object of the present invention to provide a mountless label continuum that is efficient in the work to be performed.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention has the following configuration.
The gist of the invention of claim 1 includes a strip-shaped label base material, a printing layer and a release agent layer formed on the surface of the label base material, and an adhesive layer formed on the back surface of the label base material. And a label-less continuous substrate body that is capable of forming a single-sheet non-mounting label piece by cutting a perforation having a cut portion and a non-cut portion on the label base material, and cutting the perforation. The present invention relates to a labelless continuous body having a mount, which is provided with a mark for displaying the position of the eye.
The gist of the invention of claim 2 is that the perforations are perforations in which cut portions and non-cut portions are alternately formed, and the length of the cut portions and the non-cut portions is 0.2 to 0.5 mm. And the length of the cut portion and the non-cut portion are substantially equal.
According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a labelless continuous body of mounts according to any one of the first and second aspects, wherein the mark is attached to the drawer side from the perforation.
According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided the continuous label-less continuous body according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the mark is attached so as to overlap the perforation.
The gist of the invention described in claim 5 relates to a continuous label-free body according to claims 1 to 4, wherein the mark is attached to the surface side of the label base material.
According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, there is provided the continuous labelless body according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, wherein the mark is attached to the back side of the label base material.

The present invention has a strip-shaped label base material, a printing layer and a release agent layer formed on the surface of the label base material, and an adhesive layer formed on the back surface of the label base material, and the label base material A non-mounting label continuous body in which a single-sheet non-mounting label piece can be formed by providing a perforation composed of a cut portion and a non-cut portion and cutting from the perforation, and the position of the perforation is displayed. Since the label-less continuous body with a mark is attached, the position of the perforation formed in the continuous label-less continuous body can be easily recognized with a simple structure, and the single-sheet non-backing label piece from the perforation. Thus, it is possible to obtain a label continuous body with no mount, which is efficient in cutting the sheet.

Next, the label-less continuous body according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. First, a first embodiment of a continuous labelless body according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram for explaining a continuous label without a mount. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view taken along line AA shown in FIG. FIG. 3 is a continuum diagram of a label without a mount according to the first embodiment.

A continuous label-less body 20 shown in FIG. 1 includes a strip-shaped label substrate 1 shown in FIG. 2, a printed layer 2 and a release agent layer 3 formed on the surface of the label substrate 1, and the label substrate 1. A backing sheet that has a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 formed on the back surface, is provided with a perforation 5 having a cut portion and a non-cut portion on the label base material 1, and is wound from the perforation 5 to form a roll. The single-sheet non-mounting label piece 10 can be formed from the continuous label continuous body 20.

In many cases, the non-mounting label continuous body 20 is printed as shown in FIG. FIG. 1 shows an example in which four characters “1, 2, 3, 4” are printed in succession using a single-sheet non-mounting label piece 10 as one unit. In this way, when a small number of different characters are printed using the non-mounting label piece 10 as one unit, the position of the perforation 5 for dividing into the non-mounting label piece 10 can be easily sensed, but the same character Depending on the print design, such as when a large number of prints are printed or when a complicated pattern is printed, it is difficult to recognize the position of the perforation 5 using the design as a guide.

Further, in the case of a substantially square label piece as the shape of the single-sheet non-mounting label piece 10 as shown in FIG. 1, it is easy to sensuously grasp the position of the perforation 5 for dividing into the non-mounting label piece 10. In the case where the pulling direction (length direction) of the continuous label body 20 without the mount is a long label piece, it is difficult to recognize the position of the perforation 5 with the label shape as a register.

Each configuration will be described below. As the label substrate 1, for example, paper, a synthetic resin film, a laminate or a composite material thereof can be used. Moreover, you may use the thermal paper which made paper and the synthetic resin film a base | substrate. By using thermal paper and a label printer, variable information such as letters, numbers, and barcodes can be printed.

The printing layer 2 is printed with predetermined information such as characters, patterns, and the like, and is formed with various printing methods, drying formats, and inks according to applications.

The release agent layer 3 is appropriately selected from silicone-type, long-chain alkyl-type, fluorine-type release agents, etc., in order to be able to be peeled off from the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 that comes into contact after the backing sheet-less continuous label body 20 is rolled. It is formed by adjusting the peeling ability of the above type to the adhesive and applying and curing. Moreover, the release agent layer 3 has a high level of smoothness with few irregularities on the surface of the layer because of its function of having peelability. Thus, the fact that there are few irregularities on the surface of the layer means that there is little diffuse reflection (irregular reflection, scattering) of light and the glossiness is high. That is, by providing the release agent layer 3, the glossiness is increased, and the perforation 5 becomes more difficult to recognize.

The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 can be an emulsion-based, solvent-based, or hot-melt-based pressure-sensitive adhesive. The material can be any material such as acrylic or rubber, and can be formed using a suitable combination of pressure-sensitive adhesives.

The perforation 5 is formed across both ends in the width direction at a predetermined size position in the length direction of the strip-shaped non-mounting label continuous body 20, that is, for each position divided into the single-sheet non-mounting label pieces 10. The As described above, the perforation 5 has a short perforation and a non-cutting portion in order to facilitate cutting, to clean the cut surface, and to prevent the adhesive from entering the perforation. Forming. The lengths of the cut portion and the non-cut portion are 0.2 to 0.5 mm, and these lengths can be substantially equal. If the length of the cut portion and the non-cut portion is less than 0.2 mm, it becomes easy to cut with respect to the pulling in the length direction of the label piece 10, and if it exceeds 0.5 mm, the resistance feeling associated with the separation operation becomes large and the cut. It becomes easy for the adhesive to enter the part.

The label-less continuous substrate 20 according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a strip-shaped label substrate 1, a printed layer 2 and a release agent layer 3 formed on the surface of the label substrate 1, and the label base. And a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 formed on the back surface of the material 1, and the label base material 1 is provided with a perforation 5 having a cut portion and a non-cut portion. A label-less continuous body 20 that can form the label piece 10 and has a mark for indicating the position of the perforation 5.

The label continuous body 20 without the mount shown in FIG. 3 is obtained by omitting a portion of the roll of the label continuous body 20 without the roll shown in FIG. Indicates direction.

The label-less continuous body 20 shown in FIG. 3 a is provided with a mark 6 for displaying the position of the perforation 5. Specifically, a mark 6 is printed with the triangular pointed portion facing inward from both ends of the perforation 5. The mark 6 having a shape having a pointed portion such as a triangular shape, a rhombus shape, or an arrow shape is preferably used. This is because the positions of the perforations 5 are easy to understand if they are attached so that the tips of the marks 6 are in contact with the perforations 5. Further, it is sufficient that at least one mark 6 corresponding to the perforation 5 is provided.

In the continuous labelless body 20 shown in FIG. 3 b, a mark 6 for displaying the position of the perforation 5 is attached to the pulling side from the perforation 5. Specifically, the mark 6 is printed with a triangular pointed portion facing the roll side (not shown) with the pull-out direction of the continuous labelless body 20 as the base. As described above, when the mark 6 is attached to the drawer side, it is possible to predict that the perforation 5 will appear next with the mark 6 as a guide when the continuous labelless body 20 is removed. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the label continuous body 20 without the mount from being excessively pulled out. The shape and number of the marks 6 can be arbitrarily set as described above.

The continuous labelless body 20 shown in FIG. 3 c is provided with a mark 6 for displaying the position of the perforation 5 so as to overlap the perforation 5. Specifically, a mark 6 is printed over the perforation 5. The mark 6 can be widened by being overlapped with the perforation 5. As the width of the mark 6, a width of 1 to 5 mm is preferably used, and the perforation 5 is provided at the center of the width. If the width of the mark 6 is less than 1 mm, the mark 6 is difficult to recognize, and if the width of the mark 6 exceeds 5 mm, the position of the perforation 5 provided overlapping the mark 6 is difficult to predict. By overlapping the mark 6 on the perforation 5 in this manner and widening the width, it is possible to predict the appearance of the next perforation 5 using the mark 6 as a guide, and to confirm the perforation 5. Can do.

In the continuous labelless body 20 shown in FIG. 3d, the periphery of the perforation 5 is not a white background but is printed. Specifically, the character portion “1, 2, 3, 4” is set as a non-printing region, and the portion other than the character portion is set as a printing region, which is called solid white printing.

In the case of solid white printing, for example, the mark 6 can be set as a non-printing region so as to overlap the perforation 5 as in the continuous paperless label 20 shown in FIG. 3E. The shape, number, and position of the mark 6 in such solid white printing can be the same as those shown in FIGS. 3a, 3b, and 3c, and the mark 6 can be provided as a non-printing area. Further, the mark 6 can be attached by printing in a color different from the solid printing.

As described above, the mark 6 is attached to the front surface side of the label base 1 so that the position of the perforation 5 formed in the continuous label-free body 20 can be easily recognized, and the perforation 5 From this, it is possible to obtain a continuous paperless label continuous body 20 that is efficient in cutting the single-leaf paperless label pieces 10.

Next, a second embodiment of a continuous labelless body according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 4 is a back view of the continuous labelless body shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. 5 is a continuous label diagram without a mount according to the second embodiment. 6 is a schematic cross-sectional view taken along line CC shown in FIG.

As described above, the mark 6 is printed on the surface side of the label substrate 1 by printing with a color different from that of printing or non-printing or solid printing, so that the perforation 5 formed on the label continuous body 20 without mount is formed. However, in any attachment method, the mark 6 remains on the surface side of the label substrate 1, that is, on the information display surface of the label.

In the continuous paperless label continuous body 20 according to the second embodiment of the present invention, the mark 6 for displaying the position of the perforation 5 is provided on the back surface side of the label base material 1 (the reverse surface side of the continuous paper labelless body 20). ).

4 is a rear view in which the portion of the continuous paperless label continuous body 20 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 that is wound in a roll shape is omitted, and an arrow B indicates a continuous continuous label without the paperboard. The drawing direction of the body 20 is shown. As described above, the back surface of the non-mounting label continuous body 20 is a surface on which the adhesive is exposed without being printed in most cases.

The label-less continuous body 20 shown in FIG. 5 to FIG. 6 is the back side of the label base material 1 (the label-less continuous body without the base sheet) so that the mark 6 indicating the position of the perforation 5 overlaps the perforation 5. 20 on the back side). Specifically, as in the case of the mark 6 shown in FIG. 3c described above, the mark 6 is printed so as to overlap the perforation 5, and the only difference is that the mark 6 is attached to the back side of the non-mounting label continuous body 20. is there. In this way, the shape, number, position, and the like of the mark 6 attached to the back side of the continuous labelless body 20 are the same as those in the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 3a, 3b, and 3c. be able to.

In addition, solid printing can be performed with an arbitrary color on the back side of the label continuous body 20 without the mount, and the shape, number, and position of the mark 6 when solid printing is performed in this way are also described above with reference to FIGS. 3b and FIG. 3c, and the mark 6 can be attached as a non-printing area. Further, the mark 6 can be attached by printing in a color different from the solid printing.

As described above, the label 6 is attached to the back surface side of the label base material 1 so that the label continuous body without a mount is left without leaving the mark 6 on the front surface side of the label base material 1, that is, the information display surface of the label. In addition to easily recognizing the position of the perforation 5 formed in 20, it is possible to obtain the non-mounting label continuous body 20 that is efficient in cutting the perforated label piece 10 from the perforation 5 into the single-sheet mountingless label piece 10. .
