Description

  The present invention relates to a concealment information transmission medium suitable for concealing and protecting personal information such as notification information such as invoices and direct mail application forms.

Recently, there is a tendency to enclose direct mail together with notification work such as invoices. Usually, most of the cost of sending direct mail is postage (postage), so if it can be enclosed in an invoice or the like, sales can be promoted simply by adding a direct mail medium creation fee.
In addition, since bills must be read by customers, the rate of visibility of enclosed direct mail is improved, making it an effective medium as well as cost-effective.
In recent years, in addition to postal mail, Internet applications and applications using communication means such as FAX are also conceivable, but Internet applications are limited to younger generations, and FAX tends to be limited to the generations above. After all, there is a reality that postal mail has become the most usable medium.

  Direct mail enclosed with invoices is increasing from the viewpoint of cost effectiveness described above, and it is essential to maintain and reduce costs by reducing the weight of mail. The current postage is ¥ 80 up to 25g and ¥ 90 up to 50g for sealed letters, and the next fee is ¥ 120 if it exceeds that weight. There is no room for adding a postage fee, even though it can be reduced in weight. In addition, postcards are cheaper and cost effective compared to sealed letters, so they are usually the most desired form, but there are restrictions on shape, weight, etc. (main body is 2g or more, overall is 6g or less, concealment) There are labels on the entire surface, up to one on each front and back, and dimensions up to 107mm x 154mm), so it is required to design while satisfying these and without compromising the appearance of the invoice. Yes.

  Direct mail generally requires some form of application, regardless of the type of service or sale of goods. Until now, it was good to enclose postcards for application in these applications. With enforcement, there is an increasing demand for concealment of the secret information entry fields such as name, address, account number, and seal of the application form, and the concealment function is now essential.

  Conventional concealment means includes a concealment paper having a re-peeling adhesive layer covered with a release paper, and a postcard connected to the concealment paper. A method of concealing has been used by peeling the release paper at the time of return and pasting the concealment paper in the secret information entry field (for example, Patent Document 1).

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a conventional example of a concealment information transmission medium as a concealment postcard.
The concealment postcard 100 includes a postcard sheet 101 and a concealment sheet 102 connected thereto.
The postcard sheet 101 has a secret information column for an entry column 106 and a stamp column 107 on one side.
The concealment paper 102 includes a re-peeling adhesive 104 and a release paper 105 covering the same on the same surface as the entry field 106 of the postcard paper 101.
When applying, necessary items are entered and stamped in the entry field 106 and the marking field 107. Subsequently, the release paper 105 is peeled off from the concealment paper 102 and the surface of the re-peeling adhesive 104 of the concealment paper 102 is pasted on the surface of the entry field 106 and the stamping field 107 of the postcard paper 101 to conceal the confidential information. To do.

However, the conventional concealment method described above requires release paper, which has hindered weight reduction of information transmission media such as postcards.
In addition, the information transmission medium that encloses direct mail in notification information such as invoices will post a larger amount of information, information at the time of shipping (invoices, etc.) and information at the time of return (direct mail application form) Is needed to hide.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-214947

As a result of diligent investigation, the present inventors have used concealment paper by using an adhesive that can change the existing adhesive properties as necessary, instead of concealment methods that require concealment paper for concealment information transmission media. This led to the development of a concealment method that does not.
As described above, the concealment information transmission medium of the present invention requires concealment of notification information such as an invoice at the time of shipment and concealment of a concealment information entry column of a direct mail application form upon return. In particular, the customer who received the notification information such as an invoice at the time of return must fill in the necessary information in the confidential information entry column of the application form and conceal itself. It is necessary to set the characteristic so that it can be bonded by the pressure of a human hand that is not required.

FIG. 5A is a diagram showing a concealment information transmission medium using the above-described adhesive as a concealment postcard.
The concealing postcard 50 includes a sheet-like base material 51 and an adhesive layer 52 having self-adhesiveness on one side thereof.
The sheet-like base material 51 includes a first base material portion 53 and a second base material portion 54 with a polygonal line 55 as a boundary.
The adhesive layer 52 is an adhesive having a removable self-adhesive property as described above, and has a characteristic that it can be adhered even at a low pressure such as the pressure of a human hand.
The first base material portion 53 has a secret information entry column 56 for an application form on the same surface as the adhesive layer 52.
How to use the concealment postcard 50 will be described below.
FIG. 5B is a diagram showing a form of delivery from the information sender of the concealment postcard 50 to the customer. The sheet-like base material 51 is bent at a folding line 55 so that the adhesive layer 52 is on the outside, and a concealed postcard 50-1 in a shipping form is configured and shipped to the customer.
FIG. 5C is a diagram showing a return form from the customer of the concealment postcard 50 to the information sender. After filling in the necessary information in the secret information entry field 56 of the first base material portion 53, the first base material portion 53 and the second base material portion 54 are bent by 55 parts so that the adhesive layer 52 is inside. Is folded and bonded between the adhesive layers 52 to constitute a return postcard 50-2, which is returned to the information sender.

  However, since the concealing postcard 50-1 in FIG. 5 (B) has the adhesive layer 52 on the outside, as shown in FIG. 5 (D), when concealing postcards of the same form are stacked. In addition, a blocking phenomenon occurs in which the adhesive layers 52 overlap and adhere to each other, which makes it very difficult to use in the general market.
