Description

  The present invention relates to a strip-shaped label sheet suitable for use in, for example, a portable printer.

  In a delivery system for postal parcels, parcels, or large parcels, a delivery label that includes delivery information such as the name of the sender or recipient is attached to the delivery item. Based on this, the delivery is delivered.

  In addition to the delivery label that contains these delivery information, the delivery item is used to track and confirm the current collection center of the delivery item for management by the delivery company. A tracking label printed with numbers and barcodes is attached.

  As such a label, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is provided on the back surface of the belt-shaped label sheet main body, a belt-shaped release paper is provided on the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer to form a label base sheet, and the belt-shaped sheet forming the label base sheet For the label sheet main body and the strip-shaped release paper, it is known to use a strip-shaped label sheet provided with a perforation for cutting to form a single label sheet at a predetermined interval in the longitudinal direction and in parallel with the width direction. Yes.

  When using this strip-shaped label sheet, set it in a roll-wrapped state, print it while feeding it sequentially, cut the label sheet from the perforation, peel the release paper from the label sheet, and remove the label. It is stuck on the delivery.

  The label is issued, for example, when a delivery person goes to a store such as a convenience store or a private house, or when he / she takes a package on the road, the necessary information is rolled up by a portable printer on the spot. A label sheet is printed and issued, and is attached to a delivery item.

  In the rolled belt-like label sheet set in the portable printer, since the portable printer is generally small, the roll diameter of the rolled belt-like label sheet is also reduced correspondingly. In order to secure a predetermined length (number of labels) on the sheet, each label sheet is formed small, and the strip-shaped label sheet needs to be formed of a very thin strip-shaped label sheet main body and a very thin strip-shaped release paper.

For this reason, compared with the case where it has a certain size and thickness, peeling of the release paper from the label single sheet becomes a very difficult operation. As a means for facilitating the peeling of the release paper from the label single sheet, the strip release paper having a width wider than the width of the belt-like label sheet main body is such that the tab margin protrudes from the edge in the width direction of the belt-like label sheet main body. It is known to provide. Patent Document 1 proposes a release paper provided with slits that reach the upper and lower sides in order to facilitate peeling.
Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 61-126276

  However, even if the strip-shaped release paper is a strip-shaped label sheet provided so that the tab margin protrudes from the edge in the width direction of the strip-shaped label sheet body, the strip-shaped label sheet is thin because the strip-shaped label sheet body and the strip-shaped release paper are thin. The improvement of the peelability of the release paper from the paper is not so effective, and even if the picking margin protrudes from the widthwise edge of the strip label sheet body, the delivery person wears a finger sack or wears gloves For example, there is a problem that it is very difficult to remove the release paper from the label sheet.

  When the release paper is peeled off, the label paper described in Patent Document 1 folds the label paper at the slit, and lifts the slit edge of the release paper from the back of the label to make a release clue. However, when the strip-like release paper has a thickness (elasticity), it can be peeled off. However, when the strip-like release paper is a thin paper, the slit edge of the release paper is not lifted and is difficult to peel off. In addition, if such a slit is applied to a roll-shaped strip-shaped label sheet, the slit will be provided over the entire lengthwise direction of the strip-shaped release paper. There is a risk of the adhesive sticking out, the sticking adhesive sticks to the belt-like label sheet body of the rolled belt-like label sheet, and troubles may occur during feeding during printing, for example, the belt-like label sheet body may be heat sensitive. When printing with a portable printer made of recording paper and equipped with a thermal head, there is a problem that the adhesive adheres to the thermal head and causes desensitization of the thermal recording layer.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a strip-shaped label sheet that can be easily peeled off even if the label sheet is formed small and the strip-shaped label sheet main body and the strip-shaped release paper are thinly formed. .

  In order to achieve the above object, the strip-shaped label sheet according to claim 1 is provided with an adhesive layer on the back surface of the strip-shaped label sheet main body, and the adhesive layer has a width wider than the width of the strip-shaped label sheet main body. The strip-shaped release paper is provided so that the tab margin protrudes from the edge in the width direction of the strip-shaped label sheet main body to form a label base sheet, and the strip-shaped label sheet main body forming the label base sheet and the strip-shaped The release paper is provided with perforations for forming a label sheet at a predetermined interval in the longitudinal direction and in parallel with the width direction. Further, the strip-like release paper between the perforations is provided with the strip-shaped label. In the region overlapping with the sheet body, the band-shaped release sheet in the band-shaped label sheet body is located in the vicinity of the edge in the width direction on the protruding side, and does not reach the perforations adjacent in the longitudinal direction. length Slits, characterized in that it is provided in the longitudinal direction.

  The strip-shaped label sheet according to claim 2, wherein the strip-shaped release paper according to claim 1 is provided such that a tab allowance projects from both edges in the width direction of the strip-shaped label sheet main body, The slits provided in the strip-shaped release paper between the perforations are provided so as to form a pair in the vicinity of both edges in the width direction of the strip-shaped label sheet main body.

  The strip-shaped label sheet according to claim 3 is a bar in a label sheet formed by perforations provided in the strip-shaped label sheet main body. It is provided outside the code printing area.

A label base sheet is formed so that a tab allowance protrudes from an edge in the width direction of the belt-like label sheet main body, and the belt-like label sheet main body and the belt-like release paper forming the label base sheet are arranged in the longitudinal direction. A perforation for forming a label cut is provided at a predetermined interval in the direction and parallel to the width direction, and the strip-like release paper between the perforations overlaps the strip-shaped label sheet main body. In the strip-shaped label sheet main body, the slit is located in the vicinity of the edge in the width direction on the side where the stripping margin of the strip-shaped release paper protrudes, and the slit has a length that does not reach each perforation adjacent in the longitudinal direction. In Therefore, when peeling the release paper from the label sheet cut at the perforation, the thumb of the label sheet from the label sheet cut side is the thumb of the label paper sheet protruding from the edge in the width direction. Apply the index finger to the slit of the release paper, pick it up, twist the index finger and push it up, the slit will open, and the force that pushes up the index finger will push the slit and the edge of the label sheet The adhesive part in the area between the two is easily peeled off, and by using this peeled part, the release paper can be easily peeled off from the single label sheet. For this reason, even when wearing a finger sack or wearing a glove in a cold region, the release paper can be easily peeled from the label.

  In addition, since the slit provided in the strip-like release paper is provided in the longitudinal direction with a length that does not reach each perforation adjacent in the longitudinal direction, there is no possibility that the adhesive protrudes from the slit, and the strip-like label sheet Even if the roll is wound, a situation in which the adhesive adheres to the belt-like label sheet main body does not occur.

  According to the strip-shaped label sheet according to claim 2, the strip-shaped release paper is provided so that a pinch margin protrudes from both edges in the width direction of the strip-shaped label sheet main body, and between the perforations. Since the slits provided in the belt-like release paper are provided so as to be paired and located near both edges in the width direction of the belt-like label sheet main body, from the label cut sheet perforated When peeling the release paper, the peeling operation can be performed from any side in the width direction of the label single sheet, which is convenient.

  According to the belt-like label sheet according to claim 3, the slit provided in the belt-like release sheet is provided outside the barcode printing area in the label single sheet formed by the perforation provided in the belt-like label sheet main body. Therefore, even when printing complicated information such as two-dimensional barcodes, the slits do not become an obstacle when printing on a belt-like label sheet, and the barcode is not rubbed when the release paper is peeled off. can do.

  Hereinafter, an example of an embodiment for implementing a strip-shaped label sheet according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5. Here, FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the belt-like label sheet of this example in a rolled state, FIG. 2 is a rear view showing a part in the longitudinal direction of the belt-like label sheet of this example, and FIG. 3 shows the belt-like label sheet of this example. FIG. 4 is a side view showing a state in which the release paper is peeled from the label sheet by the operation of FIG. 3, and FIG. 5 is an operation of FIG. FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the state where the release paper is peeled from the single label sheet as seen from the peel side of FIG. 4.

  The strip-shaped label sheet 1 of this example is provided with a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3 on the back surface of the strip-shaped label sheet main body 2, and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3 has a strip-shaped release paper 4 wider than the width of the strip-shaped label sheet main body 2. A label base sheet 6 is formed so that a tab allowance 5 protrudes from an edge in the width direction of the strip-shaped label sheet main body 2. As the belt-like label sheet main body 2, a thermal recording paper is used in this example, but is not limited thereto. Thermal recording paper is a paper that has a thermal recording layer that contains a basic leuco dye and a developer on a support such as paper. Compared to other systems, the system is preferable because there is no noise at the time of recording and the apparatus is relatively inexpensive and downsized so that it is convenient to carry.

  Further, in the picking allowance 5 of the strip-shaped release paper 4 protruding from the edge in the width direction of the strip-shaped label sheet main body 2, it may protrude from one edge in the width direction of the strip-shaped label sheet main body 2. Moreover, you may protrude from both the edge parts of the width direction of the strip | belt-shaped label sheet | seat main body 2. FIG. In this example, the tab allowance 5 of the strip-shaped release paper 4 protrudes from both edges in the width direction of the strip-shaped label sheet main body 2 and protrudes with the same dimension.

  The strip-shaped label sheet main body 2 and the strip-shaped release paper 4 that form the label base sheet 6 have cutting perforations 8 that form a label sheet 7 at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction and parallel to the width direction. Is provided. In addition, the longitudinal direction as used in the field of this invention means the sending-out direction at the time of printing the said strip | belt-shaped label sheet 1. FIG. Further, the band-like release paper 4 between the perforations 8 protrudes from the band-like release sheet 4 in the belt-like label sheet main body 2 in a region overlapping with the belt-like label sheet main body 2. A slit 9 is provided in the longitudinal direction so as not to reach the perforations 8 adjacent to each other in the longitudinal direction.

  In this example, the slits 9 provided in the strip-shaped release paper 4 between the perforations 8 are positioned near both edges in the width direction of the strip-shaped label sheet main body 2 so as to form a pair. It is provided in a straight line. In this example, the slit 9 provided in the strip-shaped release paper 4 is provided outside the barcode printing area 10 in the label sheet 7 formed by the perforation 8 provided in the strip-shaped label sheet body 2. . Further, in this example, if the slit 9 is positioned too much in the width direction of the strip-shaped label sheet main body 2, it is difficult to perform a peeling operation. Therefore, the slit 9 is formed in both width directions of the strip-shaped label sheet main body 2. It is preferable to provide within 1 mm from the edge.

  The strip-shaped label sheet 1 configured in this manner is rolled around the outer periphery of the core 11, and the rolled strip-shaped label sheet 1 is used, for example, in a portable printer. When used as a delivery label, necessary information including a barcode is printed on a label single sheet 7 formed between adjacent perforations 8 at the front end of a strip-shaped label sheet 1 rolled by a portable printer. Then, it cut | disconnects in the perforation 8 of the back | inner side (winding core 11 side), and the label sheet 12 shown in FIG. 3 thru | or FIG. 5 is obtained. The label sheet 12 includes a label 7A (hereinafter, simply referred to as a label 7A) composed of a single label sheet 7 and a release paper 4A. Then, the release paper 4A is peeled off, and the label 7A is attached to the delivery.

  When peeling the release paper 4A from the label 7A, the tab 5 of the release paper 4A in a state of protruding from the edge in the width direction of the label 7A is applied to the thumb from the label 7A side, and the slit 9 of the release paper 4A is placed. Put your index finger at the point (see Fig. 3) and pick it up. In this way, the slit 9 portion of the release paper 4A is opened, and the adhesive portion in the region between the slit 9 and the edge of the label 7A is easily peeled off by the force of pushing up the index finger to be easily picked. Become. The release paper 4A can be easily peeled from the label 7A by picking and separating the peeled portion. Therefore, even if the label sheet 12 composed of the label 7A and the release paper 4A is thin and small, the release paper 4A can be easily peeled from the label 7A as described above. Further, even when a finger sack is worn or a glove is worn in a cold region, the release paper 4A can be easily peeled from the label 7A.

  The term “thin and small” as used in the present invention means that, for example, the thickness measured in accordance with JIS-P8118 is 100 to 130 μm, and the length of the longitudinal direction in the label sheet 12 is 30 mm or less. A design in which the length in the width direction is 55 mm or less and the length in the width direction of the release paper 4A is 60 mm or less can be given. Of course, the belt-like label sheet of the present invention is not limited to this, and can be appropriately designed according to a desired application and printer. Further, in this example, the strip-shaped release paper 4 is provided such that the tab allowance 5 protrudes from both edges in the width direction of the strip-shaped label sheet main body 2, and is provided on the strip-shaped release paper 4. Since the slits 9 are provided in the vicinity of both edges in the width direction of the strip-shaped label sheet main body 2 so as to form a pair, when the release paper 4A is peeled off from the label 7A, The peeling operation can be performed from either side, which is convenient.

  Further, in this example, the slit 9 provided in the strip-like release paper 4 is provided outside the barcode printing area 10 in the label single sheet 7 formed by the perforation 8 provided in the strip-like label sheet body 2. Therefore, the slit 9 does not become an obstacle when printing on the belt-like label sheet 1, and it is possible to avoid rubbing the barcode when peeling the release paper 4A from the label 7A. The bar code printing area referred to in the present invention means an area printed in a format that requires higher accuracy in reading than characters, etc., and is currently a linear bar code or geometric pattern. A typical two-dimensional barcode is used.

  Furthermore, since the slits 9 provided in the strip-shaped release paper 4 are provided in the longitudinal direction so as not to reach the perforations 8 adjacent in the longitudinal direction, there is a possibility that the adhesive may protrude from the slits 9. However, even if the belt-like label sheet 1 is rolled, a situation in which the pressure-sensitive adhesive of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3 adheres to the belt-like label sheet main body 2 does not occur.

  FIG. 6 shows another example of the strip-shaped label sheet 1 according to the present invention. The parts corresponding to those in FIG. 2 are given the same reference numerals. In the strip-shaped label sheet 1 of this example, the slit 9 provided in the strip-shaped release paper 4 has an arc shape, and the slit 9 has an arc-shaped protruding side facing the center side in the width direction of the strip-shaped label sheet 1. Is provided. Other configurations are the same as those in FIGS. 1 to 5 described above.

  When the slit 9 provided in the strip-shaped release paper 4 is arcuate in this way, by applying an index finger to the inner part of the arcuate slit 9, peeling is performed in an arcuate shape with the force of peeling. The release paper 4A can be easily peeled from the label 7A.
