Description

  The present invention relates to a label that is attached to an object with a management number and the like.

Conventionally, for various management, information such as a management number has been printed on a label by using any combination of letters, numbers, symbols and figures (hereinafter referred to as letters, etc.) and pasted on an object. However, when this label is used for a long period of time, the problem is that the printed content disappears and the written contents cannot be read. In particular, a house survey certificate for property tax management, a label with the faucet number of each water supply, or a label with a production number affixed to a sash, etc. has been available since the construction of the new house. Since it remains affixed for about 50 to 50 years, and the place where it is affixed is often outdoors, weather resistance is insufficient when printed by a general printing method. In order to improve the weather resistance of labels used outdoors in this way, in Document 1, a label for a vehicle body using a special material such as a ceramic or an ultraviolet absorber is proposed.
JP 2002-311874 A

  However, since the invention of Document 1 is used for a vehicle body, it is not premised on the use for several decades, and the use of special materials such as ceramics and ultraviolet absorbers increases the cost. There's a problem.

On the other hand, since the technology of copying machines and the like has recently advanced, forgery of such management labels has also become a problem. Also, in some areas, efforts are made to prevent shoplifting by sticking a label that certifies the sale at the time of selling a book, and prohibiting the purchase of books without labels at used bookstores. Again, forgery of labels becomes a problem. As a countermeasure against such forgery of labels, for example, a forgery prevention medium such as Patent Document 2 has been proposed.
JP 2005-43736 A

  However, the invention of Document 2 has a problem that the cost increases because a special manufacturing process by laser irradiation is required.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and provides a weatherproof anti-counterfeit label that is made of a general material, can be read after several decades indoors and outdoors, and is not easily counterfeited. For the purpose.

  The invention of claim 1 of the present invention is a label for describing information for managing an object by characters or the like, and has a sheet-like base material layer on which characters or the like are described on the upper surface, The character or the like is formed by superimposing a character or the like formed by cutting and the same character or the like formed by ink or paint (hereinafter referred to as ink or the like).

  The invention according to claim 2 is characterized in that a part or all of the ink or the like has entered the cut.

  Further, the invention of claim 3 is characterized in that ink or the like is attached to a blade for making a cut, and at the same time a character or the like is formed with the ink or the like.

  According to the invention of the first aspect of the present invention, since the characters and the like are formed by cutting, the contents of the description can be read even after the printed ink has faded or peeled off over a long period of time. . In addition, since the cut cannot be copied by a copying machine or the like, forgery becomes difficult. Therefore, it is suitable as a management label used when an object must be managed over a long period of time.

  According to the invention of the second aspect of the present invention, in addition to the effect of the invention of the first aspect, the ink or the like that has entered into the cut is protected from sunlight or friction, and the ink or the like is compared with the case of printing on a flat surface. Can be prevented from fading and peeling, and can extend the period when it can be read clearly.

  According to the third aspect of the present invention, the cutting process and the printing of ink or the like are simultaneously performed, so that the manufacturing process can be reduced and labor and cost can be reduced.

  A specific configuration of the label of the present invention will be described based on each drawing.

  FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the label of the present invention, where (a) is an overall view of the label and an enlarged view of a C portion such as letters, and (b) is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of the enlarged portion. is there. In the first embodiment, the present invention is applied to a faucet number display label 10, and letters C and the like are formed on the upper surface of the base material layer 1 by notches 2, and ink 3 is printed from above by printing. It has been applied. The notches 2 are straight and have a plurality of parallel lines and do not penetrate the base material layer 1. In FIG. 1, only the character C is printed, but the character C may be further printed after the background color is printed on the entire surface. In addition to ink, paint may be used for printing.

  Thus, when the ink 3 is applied by printing from the top of the cut 2, a part of the ink 3 enters the cut 2 (immersion ink 3a). Since the immersion ink 3a is protected from sunlight and friction, fading and peeling can be suppressed as compared with the case of printing on a flat surface. In addition, even if the penetrating ink 3a is discolored or peeled off, the notch 2 will not disappear, so that the character C can be read indefinitely. Furthermore, since the cut 2 cannot be copied even if the label is copied by a copying machine, it also has an effect of preventing forgery of the label. Moreover, since the notch 2 does not penetrate the base material layer 1, the strength of the label is not impaired by the notch 2. Furthermore, since rainwater or the like does not penetrate from the front surface side to the back surface side, it is also suitable for outdoor use.

  The material of the base material layer 1 may be any material as long as it is generally used for labels, but when used outdoors, a plastic film such as PET or PVC or a metal such as aluminum is suitable. It is. In addition, when pasting on a product such as a book, paper is preferable from the viewpoints of price, workability, disposal and recycling. The label formed in this way is used by applying an adhesive to the lower surface of the base material layer 1 and sticking it on the object, or by opening a hole and tying the object with a string.

  FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment of the label of the present invention, and is an enlarged view of a C portion such as a character formed by the notches 2. In the second embodiment, a character C or the like is formed by a plurality of circular cuts 2. The shape of the notch 2 may be a triangle or a quadrangle other than a circle, or a more complicated shape such as a star. If the cut 2 is made into a complicated shape, forgery becomes more difficult.

  Further, FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a third embodiment of the label of the present invention. In the third embodiment, the order of printing and cutting is reversed compared to the first embodiment. The ink 3 is applied to the upper surface of the base material layer 1 by printing to draw letters C and the like. Make cut 2 from above.

  FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of a fourth embodiment of the label of the present invention. In the fourth embodiment, the character C or the like is formed by the notches 2 on the upper surface of the base material layer 1, the ink 3 is applied from the top by printing, and a transparent plastic film is further laminated thereon, whereby the surface layer 4 is provided. The surface layer 4 prevents the base material layer 1 on which characters C and the like are written from coming into direct contact with the outside air, so that the weather resistance is further improved.

  Any kind of plastic film may be used for the surface layer 4, but when the substrate layer 1 is also a plastic film, if the substrate layer 1 and the surface layer 4 are made of different materials, the shrinkage rate Because the label is warped due to the difference, it is desirable to use the same material.

  FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of a fifth embodiment of the label of the present invention. In the fifth embodiment, ink 3 is applied to the upper surface of the base material layer 1 by printing to draw letters C and the like, cuts 2 from the top of the ink 3, and laminates a transparent plastic film on the surface. The layer 4 is provided, and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 5 is further provided on the lower surface of the base material layer 1 and is protected by the release paper 6. When the label is configured in this way, it can be easily attached to the object simply by removing the release paper 6.

  The pressure-sensitive adhesive for the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 5 can be freely selected from commonly used materials such as acrylic and rubber-based ones. Furthermore, as the release paper 6, a general paper with a silicone process applied to the surface of the paper is used. If the adhesive layer 5 is protected before use and can be easily peeled off during use, It may be made of other materials such as a release film.

  FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the sixth embodiment of the label of the present invention. In the sixth embodiment, a letter C or the like is formed on the upper surface of the base material layer 1 by the notches 2, and the ink 3 is applied by printing from the top, and the adhesive layer 5 is further provided on the lower surface of the base material layer 1. Although it protects with the paper 6, the notch 2 penetrates the base material layer 1 and the adhesive layer 5. FIG. If the cut 2 is formed in this way, the letter C etc. can be read indefinitely, and even if it is pasted and then peeled off, it will be broken at the cut 2 portion. Therefore, since it is possible to confirm the presence or absence of the fact that the label has been peeled off, it can be used for proof of sales of products such as books, or can be affixed to doors, lids of housings of various devices, lids of manholes, etc. It is possible to confirm the presence or absence of opening and closing.

  FIG. 7 shows a seventh embodiment of the label of the present invention, which is an example of the above sales certification label 20. (A) is the whole figure of a label, (b) is an AA sectional view. In the center of the label, a letter C or the like (character of “proof”) is formed by a linear notch 2, and ink 3 is printed in accordance with the notch 2. The base material layer 1 is made of thin-tack paper such as pure white roll paper or imitation paper, and is provided with an adhesive material layer 5 on the lower surface and protected by the release paper 6. In this embodiment, the notch 2 penetrates through the base material layer 1 and the adhesive material layer 5, and the ink 3 penetrates to the lower end of the notch 2 because the base material layer 1 is thin. The sales proof label 20 formed in this way is difficult to forge by the notch 2, and once applied, it will not be removed cleanly because it will be cut by the notch 2 even if it is peeled off. Therefore, when a book or the like is sold, it can be proved that the product is properly purchased by sticking it to the book.

  In addition, the said embodiment is an example and the processing order of printing and cutting, the presence or absence of a surface layer, the presence or absence of an adhesive layer and a release paper may be combined in any way. Further, any character or the like may be formed by cutting. Further, when the present invention is used for the purpose of preventing forgery, the effect can be further enhanced by using it together with existing forgery preventing means such as a hologram.

  The label of the present invention includes various management labels such as faucet number display labels and house survey certificates, labels that display production numbers of various products, doors, housing lids for various devices, manhole covers, etc. It is used as a label for sealing. In addition, by sticking this label to a product when selling a book or the like, it can be used for the purpose of proving that the product has been properly purchased and preventing shoplifting.

  Below, the manufacturing process of the weatherproof forgery prevention label of this invention is demonstrated. FIG. 8 is a conceptual diagram of a first manufacturing process example. An example of the first manufacturing process is a case where the base paper 22 is composed only of the base material layer, and the base paper 22 is sent out from the base paper roll 21 around which the base paper 22 is wound, and various processes are performed. The first manufacturing process example consists of four processes of character insertion, printing, drying, and cutting.

  The first step is letter placement. The base paper 22 is sent out from the base paper roll 21 and sent to the male mold 11a and the female mold 11b for character insertion. The base paper 22 is sandwiched between the male mold 11a and the female mold 11b, and characters and the like are formed by cutting.

  The second step is printing. The base paper 22 is sent to the flat pressure type printing machine 12, and the same character or the like is printed on the character or the like formed by cutting.

  The third step is drying. The base paper 22 is sent to the ultraviolet irradiator 13 and irradiated with ultraviolet rays, so that the printed ink is instantly dried.

  The fourth step is cutting. The base paper 22 is sent to the cutter 14 and cut at a predetermined location, whereby the product label 23 is completed.

  FIG. 9 is a conceptual diagram of a second manufacturing process example. An example of the second manufacturing process is a case where the base paper 22 includes a base material layer, an adhesive layer, and a release paper. The second manufacturing process example includes six processes of printing, drying, lettering, laminating, punching, and cutting.

  The first step is printing. The base paper 22 is sent to the rotary printing machine 15 where characters and the like are printed.

  The second step is drying. As in the case of the first manufacturing process example, the base paper 22 is sent to the ultraviolet irradiator 13 and irradiated with ultraviolet rays, whereby the printed ink is instantly dried.

  The third step is letter placement. The base paper 22 is sent to the press 16 and a cut is formed on the printed character or the like by a blade provided in the press.

  The fourth step is lamination. A laminate film 32 is sent out from the laminate roll 31 and laminated on the surface of the base paper 22.

  The fifth step is punching. The base paper 22 is sent to the punching machine 17, and the base material layer and the adhesive layer are punched into a predetermined shape. The punched piece 34 that is the peripheral portion of the punched label is collected by the collecting roll 33.

  The sixth step is cutting. The base paper 22 is sent to the cutter 14 and the release paper is cut at a predetermined location to complete the product label 23.

  Furthermore, the above character insertion and printing steps can be performed at once. That is, by providing a blade for making a cut on the printing plate surface of the printing press and attaching ink to the blade, the ink enters the cut as well as making a cut on the label. At this time, any blade may be used, but a corroded blade is desirable because it can reproduce fine figures and the like.

  In addition, the said manufacturing process is an example and the apparatus and method used at each process are not limited to said thing. For example, the printing press may be of any type other than a flat pressure type or a rotary type, and the printing method may be any of general methods such as letterpress printing, flexographic printing, offset printing, and gravure printing. Therefore, it is possible to freely select an appropriate material in accordance with the material of the base material layer, the characters to be printed, and the like. As for the cutting process, any method other than a method of sandwiching between a male die and a female die or a blade provided in a press machine may be used, and the type of blade used may be a corroded blade or a Thomson blade. You can choose freely.

  Moreover, the order of each process may differ from the above. For example, if the cut is made after the printed ink has been dried, the ink will not penetrate into the cut, but if the cut is made before drying after printing, the ink will penetrate into the cut and the effect of the penetrated ink will be can get.

  Further, each step may be omitted or added as necessary. For example, in the punching of the second manufacturing process example, the base material layer, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and the release paper may be punched and used as a product label. In addition, another process such as embossing or metal foil pressing may be added depending on the application of the label.
