Description

  The present invention relates to a neck label for attaching to a neck portion of a bottle such as a plastic bottle to display information.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is a neck label that is attached by being hung on the neck of a plastic bottle or a glass bottle. The neck label is composed of an information display portion and a hole that passes through the neck of the bottle. The label hole passes through the neck of the bottle and the label itself is held by the shoulder of the bottle, thereby displaying various information described on the label (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).

  The manufacturing method of the necking label of Patent Document 1 is as follows. First, the neck label requires a hole that passes through the neck of the bottle, and this hole is made of a heat-shrinkable film (shrink film layer). And at the time of manufacture, the said hole part of the label for necks is passed through the neck part of a bottle, and heat is applied. Then, when the hole portion is thermally contracted, the necking label is attached to the bottle.

  The necking label of Patent Document 2 is as follows. A hole for passing through the neck of the bottle is formed in the middle of one sheet made of a bendable material such as paper. Then, an appropriate cut is made around the hole. When the label is attached to the bottle, the hole is passed through the neck of the bottle and bent within the allowable range of the cut, thereby expanding the size of the hole and attaching the necking label to the bottle.

  However, in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, a bottle to be attached is required to make the necking label attachable. As described above, when a bottle is required at the time of manufacturing the necking label, a device for transporting the bottle is required in addition to the device for manufacturing the necking label, which may increase the size of the device. Moreover, since it is necessary to convey a bottle suitably, it takes an effort.

  It is an object of the present invention to provide a neck label that can be easily manufactured.

  The configuration of the present invention for achieving the above object is as follows.

(1)
A neck hanging label having a hole for passing through the neck of the bottle and attached to the shoulder of the bottle, a printed layer on which printing is performed, and a shrink film disposed on the back surface of the printed layer and contracted by heat And a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer to which a pressure-sensitive adhesive is applied except for the non-sticky portion between the printed layer and the shrink film layer, and abuts on the non-sticky portion when heat is applied. A neck label, wherein the shrink film is heat-shrinked to be attached to the shoulder of the bottle.

  When the print layer and the shrink film layer are laminated as in the configuration of (1), and a part of the adhesive layer between the layers is a non-adhesive part, the non-adhesive part of the shrink film layer is provided by applying heat. Only the shrink film that abuts the adhesive part heat shrinks. As a result, the neck hanging label is deformed to be attached to the shoulder of the bottle. Therefore, the neck label can be manufactured even if there is no bottle to which the neck label is attached at the time of manufacture. Further, it is not necessary to transport the bottle, and a device for transporting the bottle is not necessary. In addition, there is no need to carry the bottle.

  As a result, a necking label that can be easily manufactured can be provided.

  An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view and a cross-sectional view of the necking label 10 before heat application. FIG. 2 is a plan view and a side view of the necking label 10 before and after heat application. FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the neckline label 10 when used.

(Configuration of label 10 for neck)
As shown in FIG. 1, the neckline label 10 has at least a printed layer 11, an adhesive layer 12, a shrink film layer 13, and a pseudo adhesive layer 14 from the surface, and these are pseudo-adhered on a mount 20. . A transparent protective layer or the like may be laminated on the surface of the printing layer 11. Next, each layer will be specifically described.

  The printed layer 11 is a layer that becomes the surface of the neckline label 10. Information related to the product is displayed by describing information such as the content of the product and the campaign.

  The adhesive layer 12 is made of an adhesive, and integrally adheres and fixes the printing layer 11 and the shrink film layer 13 together. Since the shrink film fixed integrally with the printing layer 11 hardly shrinks even when heat is applied by its adhesive force, the shrinkage of the shrink film layer 13 can be controlled by the presence of the adhesive layer 12.

  In addition, the adhesive layer 12 is not entirely provided with an adhesive between the print layer 11 and the shrink film layer 13, and a non-adhesive portion 12a without an adhesive is formed. That is, the adhesive layer 12 is provided with an adhesive except for the non-adhesive portion 12a. In the present embodiment, a non-adhesive portion 12a having a predetermined width is formed on a straight line in the vicinity of the hole 10c (described later). The non-adhesive portion 12a is not formed only by not providing an adhesive, but can be realized by other methods. For example, a release agent may be disposed between the adhesive and the printing layer 11. In this way, the non-adhesive portion 12a may be formed so that the printing layer 11 and the shrink film layer 13 are not integrated.

  The shrink film layer 13 is a layer formed of a shrink film that is thermally contracted by applying heat. The shrink film has a property of shrinking in a certain direction by applying heat. In the present embodiment, the one that contracts only in the horizontal direction of FIG. 1 and does not contract in the vertical direction is used. In this way, shrink film has the property of shrinking in a certain direction depending on the type, so using this property, the deformation direction of the label when heat is applied by changing the shrinking direction of the shrink film Can be changed.

  The pseudo adhesive layer 14 is formed on the back surface of the shrink film layer 13 and pseudo-bonds the shrink film layer 13 to the mount 20. A pseudo-adhesive is preferable because no adhesive force remains on the back surface of the shrink film layer 13 after being peeled off from the mount 20. However, the pseudo adhesive layer 14 does not necessarily need to be formed of a pseudo adhesive and may be a normal adhesive.

  As described above, the neckline label 10 is composed of a portion that undergoes heat shrinkage and a portion that does not easily undergo heat shrinkage, and therefore can be divided according to the presence or absence of heat shrinkage. That is, it can be divided into a non-shrinkable portion 10a that does not shrink when heat is applied, a shrinkable portion 10b that heat-shrinks when heat is applied, and a hole 10c that passes through the neck of the bottle.

(Manufacture of necklace label 10)
Next, a method for manufacturing the neckline label 10 will be described. First, the neckline label 10 is peeled off from the mount 20. In this state, the necking label 10 has a planar shape as shown in FIG.

  When heat is applied here, the shrink film that is in the shrinking portion 10b and contacts the non-adhesive portion 12a in the shrink film layer 13 is separated from the printing layer 11 and shrinks in a certain direction. In the present embodiment, a shrink film that shrinks only in the lateral direction of FIG. 2 is used. For this reason, although the horizontal length of the contraction part 10b has shrunk from L1 to L2, the vertical length does not change from W. As a result, the shrink film in the contraction portion 10b attracts the non-contraction portions 10a on the left and right of the contraction portion 10b. Then, as shown in FIG. 2B, the necking label 10 is deformed and bent into an inverted V-shaped chevron shape.

  Thus, a chevron-shaped neck hanging label 10 as shown in FIG. 3A is formed. When the neck label 10 is used, the hole 10c of the neck label 10 is passed through the neck N of the bottle B and the neck label 10 is held in the shoulder S as shown in FIG. To do.

  In the present embodiment, the non-adhesive portion 12a of the adhesive layer 12 is positioned on a straight line adjacent to the hole portion 10c to form the contraction portion 10b. However, the present invention is not limited to this. In other words, the non-adhesive portion 12a may be in another position as long as the non-adhesive portion 12a is positioned in the vicinity of the hole portion 10c so that the neck hanging label 10 is attached to the neck portion N of the bottle B.

  Further, in this embodiment, the shrinkage rate of the shrink film of the shrink film layer 13 is about one half in the lateral direction, and the length of L1 is about twice as long as L2, but this is not limitative. is not. In order to obtain a desired shape, the shrinkage ratio of the shrink film can be changed as appropriate.

  The present invention can be used not only for bottles such as glass bottles and PET bottles, but also for those that can display information through holes.
