  However, the envelope set described in Patent Document 1 is one in which the message entry sheet is completely enclosed in the envelope, and does not appear to partially protrude when opened. It has become.

[Object of invention]
An object of the present invention is to provide an envelope set that can be seen as if a part of an object stored in an envelope is exposed and popped out even when opened, even if it is planar.

In order to achieve the above object, an envelope set according to the present invention includes a bag-shaped main body having a front side sheet and a back side sheet and having an opening at the top, and opens and closes the opening connected to the main body. An envelope provided with a lid sheet to be formed, and a sheet-like object to be stored in and out of the main body,
The envelope is provided so that the upper region of the back side sheet is positioned above the opening forming edge of the front side sheet and is visually recognized as a box-like body in a state of maintaining a planar shape,
The stored object is configured to be partially exposed from the opening forming edge while being stored in the main body, and to be concealed while the lid sheet is closing the opening.

  In the present invention, the container includes a message entry surface and a character display surface connected to the message entry surface, and is provided so that at least a part of the character display surface is exposed from the opening forming edge. Yes.

  Further, the lid sheet may be provided so as to be exposed as a top wall of the box-like body when the opening is closed while being continuous with the back sheet.

  Furthermore, it is preferable to provide a folding piece that can be folded inward between the side edge of the lid sheet and the main body.

  The envelope is provided in a substantially hexagonal shape in plan view with the lid sheet closing the opening, and the front and back surfaces of the main body and the lid sheet are colored, and the density of the colored printing is different. By providing the region, the region is provided so as to be visually recognized as the box-shaped body.

  Further, the envelopes are provided in a plurality of large and small shapes whose outer shapes are substantially similar, and the sheet member is provided in accordance with the size of each envelope, and the small envelopes are provided so that they can be sequentially stored in the large envelopes. It is good to adopt a configuration that

  According to the present invention, the envelope is viewed as a box-like body, and can be concealed with the lid sheet in a state in which a part of the object to be stored is exposed from the opening forming edge of the front side sheet. In addition, it is possible to give an impression similar to a surprise box even if a part of the exposed object to be stored appears to protrude and is flat.

  In addition, when the lid sheet is opened, the character display surface of the object to be stored appears to be popped out. Therefore, by adopting various characters, the impression at the time of opening can be varied. Moreover, since the upper part of the object to be stored is exposed above the edge forming edge, the object to be stored can be extracted very easily.

  Furthermore, according to the structure which provided the folding piece part between the said cover sheet | seat and the main-body part, the possibility that the accommodated target object, ie, a to-be-contained body, will inadvertently escape can be prevented effectively. be able to.

  In addition, when coloring the front and back surfaces of the main body and the lid sheet, it is visualized as a box-like body by providing areas with different densities, so that a three-dimensional shape can be recognized through color contrast. By changing the way of printing in various ways, it becomes possible to change the appearance of the box-shaped body.

  Furthermore, the envelopes are made into a plurality of large and small shapes that are substantially similar to each other, and small envelopes can be sequentially stored in large envelopes, so all smaller envelopes are stored in the largest envelope. Thus, the packing area can be minimized.

  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows a schematic front view of an envelope set according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 2 shows a front view of a container. In these drawings, the envelope set 10 is composed of an envelope 11 and a storage object 12 stored in the envelope 11. The envelope 11 includes a bag-like main body 15 having an opening 14 (see FIG. 3) provided at the top thereof, and a lid sheet 16 that opens and closes the opening 14 connected to the main body 15. When 16 is set to the closed position, that is, when it is set to the position shown in FIG. 1, it represents a substantially hexagonal shape in plan view.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the main body portion 15 includes a front side sheet 20 and a back side sheet 21, and the upper end edge of the front side sheet 20 has a corner portion P that is slightly lower to the right than the center portion. It has a substantially L-shaped opening forming edge 20A, and a lower end edge is provided so as to constitute a bottom forming edge 20B substantially corresponding to the opening forming edge 20A. In the front side sheet 20, the left side region S <b> 1 from the corner portion P is printed with a chromatic color (for example, red, yellow, etc.) different from the background color (white in the present embodiment) of the envelope 11, while from the corner portion P. The right area S2 is the same color and is printed with a color darker than the left area S1 (see FIG. 4). In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, the inner surface of the front side sheet 20 is a ground color that is not colored and printed, except for a region of about several millimeters along the left and right side edges and a region of about several millimeters along the bottom forming edge 20B. It remains.

  The back sheet 21 has a size such that the upper part is positioned above the opening forming edge 20A in the front sheet 20, and is provided in a substantially hexagonal shape corresponding to the outer shape of the envelope 11 when the lid is closed. That is, the upper part of the back side sheet 21 is formed by the areas below the first fold line 25 and the second fold line 26 that are positioned substantially parallel to each edge forming the opening forming edge 20A. The inner surface region S3 on the left side from the position of the intersection point P1 between the first fold line 25 and the second fold line 26 has a density that is about the middle of the respective densities of the left region S1 and the right region S2 of the front sheet 20, and the intersection point. The right inner area S4 from P1 is colored and printed at the same density as the right area S2 of the front sheet 20. At this time, the colored printing of the left inner surface area S3 is provided so as to protrude about several millimeters from the area of the adhesive margin forming piece 35 described later. In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, the outer surface of the back sheet 21 is colored and printed in three stages so that the back sheet 21 itself looks like a cube. This colored printing is also provided so as to protrude about several millimeters in the area of the adhesive margin forming piece 35 described later.

  The lid sheet 16 is connected to the upper end portion of the back sheet 21 via a second fold line 26. The lid sheet 16 is provided in an outer edge shape that can cover the opening forming edge 20A along the opening forming edge 20A when the second fold line 26 is valley-folded. The inner surface and the outer surface of the lid sheet 16 are colored and printed in the same manner as the left side region S1 of the front sheet 20, but on the outer surface side, about several millimeters protruding from the first fold line 25 and the upper fold line 31 described later. The same colored printing is applied to the area.

  Between the lid sheet 16 and the back sheet 21, a folded piece 30 having a substantially triangular shape in plan view is provided. The boundary between the folded piece 30 and the lid sheet 16 is an upper fold line 31, and a fold line for folding the folded piece 30 inward between the upper fold line 31 and the first fold line 25. 32 is formed. When the cover sheet 16 is set to the closed position, the folding piece 30 projects or comes out of a part of the container 12 from between the position corresponding to the first folding line 25 and the position corresponding to the upper folding line 31. It is to keep it from happening. In addition, the folding piece part 30 is a ground color on both the inner and outer surfaces and is not colored and printed.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the container 12 includes a message entry surface 12A having a substantially rectangular shape in plan view and a character display surface 12B connected to the upper end of the message entry surface 12A. The message entry surface 12A is an area where a desired message can be entered, and remains the ground color of the paper except for the decorated area on the outer edge side without performing color printing. The size of the message entry surface 12A is such that the character display surface 12B is located above the opening forming edge 20A when the object 12 is stored in the main body 11, and is within the upper region of the back sheet 21. Thus, even if the lid sheet 16 is set to the closed position, the character display surface 12B is kept from being bent. In the present embodiment, a bear is treated as the character display surface 12B, but various characters are selected. Further, the planar shape of the message entry surface 12A is not particularly limited as long as the character display surface 12B can be kept at the above-described position.

  When the envelope 11 is configured, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the adhesive margin forming piece 35 connected to the side edge and the bottom edge of the back sheet 21 is folded inward to form the adhesive margin forming piece. By sticking the outer inner surface of the front sheet 20, it can be formed into a flat bag shape with the upper portion serving as the opening 14.

  In the above configuration, when the envelope set 10 is used, a desired message may be entered on the message entry surface 12A and stored in the envelope 11. The receiving object 12 can be stored up to a position where the lower two corners of the message entry surface 12A are in contact with the bottom side of the envelope 11, and at this time, the character display surface 12B is maintained at an upper position exposed from the opening forming edge 20A. It will sag and fit within the upper region of the back sheet 21.

  Next, the opening 14 may be closed with the lid sheet 16 while the folding piece 30 is folded inward, and the sealing label L (see FIG. 1) may be attached.

  Therefore, when the envelope recipient peels off the sealing label L and opens the lid sheet 16, the envelope recipient sees the character display surface 12A exposed from the opening forming edge 20A, and the bag jumps out of the box-shaped body. You can get an impression.

Although the best configuration, method and the like for carrying out the present invention have been disclosed in the above description, the present invention is not limited to this.
That is, the invention has been illustrated and described with particular reference to particular embodiments, but it should be understood that the above-described embodiments are not deviated from the technical idea and scope of the invention. On the other hand, those skilled in the art can add various modifications in shape, position, color, and other detailed configurations.
Therefore, the description limited to the shape, position, color and the like disclosed above is an example for easy understanding of the present invention, and does not limit the present invention. The description by the name of the member which remove | excluded the limitation of one part or all of such is included in this invention.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 6, a medium-sized envelope set 10-1 and a small-sized envelope set 10-2 that are similar in shape to the envelope 11 in the envelope set 10 are provided, and a medium-sized envelope set 10-1 is provided. The medium size 10-1 may be stored in the envelope set 10 in a state where the small size envelope set 10-2 is stored in the envelope set 10 to form three envelope sets. As a result, the largest unit of the envelope set 10 is sufficient for the packaging unit when selling the envelope set. Note that the objects to be stored corresponding to these sizes are also stored in the medium-sized and small-sized envelopes.

  When using the above three sets of envelopes, they may be used individually or of course in a manner similar to matryoshka. In this case, if a message having continuity is written in each message entry field, it can be used as an envelope set having a novelty that has not existed before.

  In addition, the shape of the box-shaped body in the said embodiment is not limited to the illustration structural example, What is necessary is just what can be shown in three dimensions. Therefore, it is also possible to employ an envelope that can express a solid body such as a sphere.

  Further, although colored printing with varying density is employed as a means for making the image appear three-dimensional, a contour line for expressing the three-dimensional shape and a shadow line may be applied to each surface surrounded by the contour line. However, in consideration of the case where the address is displayed, it is preferable that the three-dimensional image is displayed by colored printing as shown in the above embodiment.
