Description

  The present invention relates to a personal information protection label provided with a peelable and removable layer as a layer for printing personal information.

  Conventionally, when discarding postal items with personal information such as address and address, to prevent leakage of personal information from the waste, the portion containing the personal information or the entire postal item must be broken by hand. Or had to be cut with scissors or a shredder. In particular, finely fragmenting by hand (by hand or scissors) to such an extent that personal information cannot be specified is extremely laborious.

  In addition, some mail items have a destination label (a label on which a delivery address and a recipient's name are written) affixed to a bag made of a resin film containing printed matter. In the case of such postal matter, the destination label must be peeled off from the resin film because the destination label cannot be torn into pieces by hand or cut with scissors or a shredder due to separation problems. However, dropping off the destination label can cause a postal accident, so the destination label is generally firmly attached to the resin film. For this reason, it is not easy to peel off the destination label from the bag made of resin film.

As a prior art aimed at solving such a problem, there is a “label displaying personal information” disclosed in Patent Document 1. The invention disclosed in Patent Document 1 is formed with a slit for dividing a display area of personal information into a plurality of parts.
JP 2001-175175 A

In the invention disclosed in Patent Document 1, in order to make personal information unreadable, the base material must be peeled off from the member to be adhered. In addition to the possibility that the portion will remain on the adherend member side, the label may be damaged during transportation, which may cause a mail accident.
Further, since the information printed on the label remains in the fragments, the personal information can be restored to a legible state by connecting the fragments.

  The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and has an object to provide a personal information protection label that has strength that does not inadvertently be damaged and that cannot be restored once personal information that has been made unreadable. And

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides, as a first aspect, a base material made of a paper material having a basis weight of 30 g / m ² or more, and a release layer formed on at least a part of one surface of the base material. The personal information protection label has an image receiving layer laminated on a release layer and an adhesive layer formed on the other surface of the substrate.

  In the first aspect of the present invention, it is preferable that a personal information display unit showing information related to a specific individual by printing is formed on the image receiving layer.

In order to achieve the above object, as a second aspect, the present invention provides a base material made of a paper material having a basis weight of 30 g / m ² or more and a release formed on at least a part of one surface of the base material. It provides a personal information protection label characterized by having a layer and an adhesive layer formed on the other surface of the substrate.

  In the 2nd aspect of this invention, it is preferable that the personal information display part which shows the information relevant to a specific individual by printing is formed on a peeling layer.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, while providing the intensity | strength which is not damaged carelessly, the personal information table | surface protection label which cannot restore | restore the personal information once made unreadable can be provided.

First, the outline of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
In the personal information protection label of the present invention, a surface-inactive energy ray-curable resin layer as the release layer 20 and a resin layer with low cohesion as the image receiving layer 30 are sequentially formed on one surface of the base material 10 serving as a label mount. The adhesive layer 50 is formed on the other surface by stacking. The image receiving layer 30 has low adhesion to the release layer 20, and is peeled off from the interface with the release layer 20 when a force substantially parallel to the surface of the substrate 10 is locally applied (rubbed with a coin or a nail). Address, name, and telephone number that become personal information by the information display unit 40 formed on the surface of the image receiving layer 30 by a known printing method (formation by a printer with ink, toner, or by handwriting with printing or pencil). In the personal information protection label displaying such as, the personal information displayed on the surface of the image receiving layer 30 can be peeled off together by rubbing the image receiving layer 30 with coins, nails or the like. Thereby, leakage of personal information from the discarded personal information protection label can be prevented.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1B, only the surface-inactive energy ray curable resin layer may be formed as the release layer 20 on one surface of the substrate 10. In this case, the personal information (information display unit 40) formed on the release layer 20 can be released by rubbing the release layer 20 with coins or nails.

In the following embodiments, a configuration including the image receiving layer 30 is taken as an example, but the same effect can be obtained even in a configuration without the image receiving layer 30.
Moreover, although the case where personal information is printed on the image receiving layer 30 as the information display unit 40 is taken as an example, the information display unit 40 may be in an unformed state. In this case, needless to say, the user can print arbitrary information on the print information protection label as the information display unit 40 by a known printing method.

Embodiment
Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a view showing a cross section of the personal information protection label according to the present embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 1, the personal information protection label is composed of a base material 10 serving as a label mount, a release layer 20 and an image receiving layer 30, and the release layer 20 and the image receiving layer 30 are formed on one surface of the base material 10. They are stacked in order. On the image receiving layer 30, personal information is displayed by the information display unit 40. On the base material 10, the peeling layer 20 and the image receiving layer 30 are laminated by a technique such as offset printing, screen printing, gravure printing, flexographic printing, etc., but if these layers do not need to be formed to be particularly thick, the cost is reduced. From the side, offset printing and flexographic printing are preferable.

[Base material]
The substrate 10 is a paper material (quality paper, coated paper, craft paper, etc.) having a basis weight of 30 g / m ² or more.

[Peeling layer]
The release layer 20 uses an ultraviolet curable resin such as urethane acrylate or epoxy acrylate, or an electron beam curable resin. Other materials include solvent-type thermoplastic resins (vinyl chloride / vinyl acetate copolymer resins, acrylate / styrene copolymer resins, nitrocellulose, maleic acid resins, etc.), water-soluble resins (polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl acetate, etc.). Pyropidone etc.), various acrylic copolymer resins, polyurethanes, etc. can be used alone, or a release agent such as silicon resin can be added to these.

  The release layer 20 is formed by curing a mixture comprising a monomer, a synthetic resin, a reaction initiator, and a release agent. The monomer serves as a reactive diluent and serves to adjust the viscosity of the mixture. The synthetic resin is a main component of the resin component constituting the release layer 20. The initiator promotes the curing (drying) reaction of the mixture. The release agent gives the release layer 20 release properties.

[Image receiving layer]
The image receiving layer 30 uses an ultraviolet curable resin or the like. The image receiving layer 30 is formed by curing a mixture of a pigment, a synthetic resin, a reaction initiator, and a release agent. Note that the image receiving layer 30 may or may not contain a pigment. If not, the content of other composition materials increases.
The pigment has properties as an extender pigment and a color pigment. The property as an extender is to give the binder material thixotropy (characteristic that the viscosity decreases when stress is applied), and the property as a colored pigment is to color the binder material. An example of the color pigment is titanium white. The monomer is used as a reactive diluent and serves to adjust the viscosity. Synthetic resins are the main component of the resin component constituting the image receiving layer. The reaction initiator is for accelerating the curing (drying) reaction of the mixture, and the release agent is for imparting release characteristics to the image receiving layer 30.

  The personal information protection label according to this embodiment can be printed regardless of the thickness of the image receiving layer 30. Further, the image receiving layer 30 cannot be peeled from the release layer 20 unless the image receiving layer 30 has a certain thickness. A thicker image receiving layer 30 (1 μm or more) has better friction resistance, but even when the image receiving layer 30 is thin (0.5 μm or less), the friction resistance is improved due to the influence of the substrate 10.

  In addition, the personal information protection label may be subjected to unnecessary friction at the time of use (such as when mailed), but the image receiving layer 30 and the information display unit 40 are subject to such friction. In addition, friction resistance is required so as not to inadvertently peel off the release layer 20.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the image receiving layer 30 is scraped off from the release layer 20.
As shown in FIG. 3, the image receiving layer 30 is scraped with coins, nails or the like (in other words, the image receiving layer 30 is rubbed while applying a pressure equal to or higher than a predetermined value), and is printed on the image receiving layer 30. The information display unit 40 is also peeled off and removed from the peeling layer 20 at the same time. The adhesion between the image receiving layer 30 and the release layer 20 can be adjusted by the composition of the mixture that forms the respective bases of the release layer 20 and the image receiving layer 30.

When the strength of the base material 10 is low, the base material 10 itself may be damaged when the image receiving layer 30 is rubbed with a coin or a nail. When the base material 10 is damaged, the information display unit 40 remains in the fragment as it is, so that the personal information can be restored by connecting the fragments. In particular, when the personal information protection label is affixed to a mail piece or the like as an address label, the personal information cannot be read by the information display unit 40 if the base material 10 itself is damaged due to contact between the mail pieces. It becomes the cause of the mail accident.
Since the personal information protection label according to the present embodiment uses paper having a basis weight of 30 g / m ² or more as the base material 10, there is no possibility that the above problems occur.

  Usually, as shown in FIG. 4A, personal information such as an address and name is often printed only on a part of the personal information protection label. The part where the layer 30 is scraped is only the address and name as shown in FIG. Unlike conventional so-called “scratch cards”, it is not necessary to scrape off all of the image receiving layer 30, so that shavings can be minimized.

  Note that the personal information protection protective label according to the present embodiment makes it difficult for the user to recognize that the image receiving layer 30 can be peeled from the peeling layer 20 only by the appearance, and as shown in FIG. Is preferably displayed at an arbitrary position of the personal information protection label as a warning display unit 70 in order to inform the user that it can be peeled off from the peeling layer 20. However, if the display position is on the release layer 20, the portion may be peeled off. Therefore, the fact that the image receiving layer 30 can be peeled from the release layer 20 means that the release layer 20 is not formed. It is preferable to display in the area. If the release layer 20 or the image receiving layer 30 is formed by printing colored ink, it is possible to reduce the man-hour that the image receiving layer 30 can be peeled from the release layer 20 if they are simultaneously formed by printing when forming them. Can be displayed without increasing. The display format of the alert display unit 70 is not limited as long as it allows the user to recognize that the image receiving layer 30 can be peeled off, such as a character or a picture (for example, an image diagram cut with a coin).

  In the personal information protection label according to the present embodiment formed as described above, even if the image receiving layer 30 is rubbed with a small surface pressure (for example, rubbed with a finger belly or an eraser), the rubbed portion is not peeled off. Is not peeled off, but when rubbed with a large surface pressure (for example, rubbed with a coin or a nail), the rubbed portion peels off from the release layer 20. At this time, there is no fear that the substrate 10 is broken.

  Even when an adhesive tape is attached to the image receiving layer 30, the force does not concentrate locally on the image receiving layer 30 when the adhesive tape is peeled off, so the image receiving layer 30 does not peel off. Furthermore, there is no fear that the base material 10 is broken. The conventional so-called “scratch card” takes into account that the concealing layer (silver layer) is peeled off when the adhesive tape is applied to the surface and peeled off, the image receiving layer 30 and the peeling layer 20 in the personal information protection label according to this embodiment. Can be said to be higher than the concealing layer of the conventional scratch card.

  Therefore, even when the personal information protection label according to the present embodiment is applied to a postal matter or the like, the image receiving layer 30 is rubbed during transportation, and the personal information is not readable and a postal accident does not occur.

In the personal information protection label according to the present embodiment, the image receiving layer 30 is peeled and removed from the peeling layer 20 by rubbing the image receiving layer 30 while applying a pressure of a predetermined value or more. If personal information is displayed by, it is peeled off and removed at the same time. Therefore, when the personal information protection label on which the personal information is printed is discarded, the personal information can be made unreadable by a simple operation, and leakage of the personal information from the waste can be prevented.
In addition, since it is impossible to restore personal information from the image receiving layer 30 scraped from the release layer 20, there is no risk of personal information leaking.
Furthermore, since it is not necessary to peel off the entire label when making personal information unreadable, it can be attached to the member to be attached with sufficient adhesive strength. Further, since the base material 10 is not broken when the personal information is made unreadable, the label (or a part thereof) that has not made the personal information unreadable is dropped, and the personal information will be lost. There is no risk of leakage.

In addition, the said embodiment is an example of suitable implementation of this invention, and this invention is not limited to this. For example, in the above embodiment, the personal information protection label in which personal information is displayed on the image receiving layer 30 by the information display unit 40 is taken as an example, but the information displayed by the information display unit 40 is limited to personal information. It may represent any character, sentence, or design. In the case of a configuration including an image receiving layer, the release layer and the image receiving layer are not necessarily formed with the same size (area). That is, the image receiving layer may be laminated only on a part of the peeling layer, or a part of the image receiving layer may protrude from a region where the peeling layer is not formed.
As described above, the present invention can be variously modified.

It is the figure which showed the structure of the personal information protection label concerning suitable embodiment of this invention. It is the figure which showed a mode that the image receiving layer was peeled and removed. (A) is the figure which showed the personal information protection label on which personal information was printed. (B) is the figure which showed the state which peeled and removed personal information. It is a figure which shows the state which provided the display which shows that an image receiving layer is peelable on the personal information protection label.
