Description

  The present invention relates to a resin seedling pot used for growing seedlings of plants such as vegetables and flowers.

  Conventionally, seedling pots made of soft synthetic resins such as polyethylene and polypropylene have been used to grow seedlings such as flowers and vegetables. The seedlings to be raised in this seedling pot are transported for each seedling pot and displayed and sold at the store. At the time of display and sale at a store, a label displaying information on seedlings such as the name of the seedling and the cultivation method is attached to the seedling pot for the consumer. Since they are sold as seedlings, they are labeled with photos to help consumers know when the seedlings have grown, bloomed, or have fruits and vegetables. Printing has also been done.

  In order to attach such information to a seedling pot, the label is composed of a display unit for displaying information about the seedling and a leg portion extending from the display unit. In many cases, the label leg portion is placed in the seedling pot. It is inserted directly into the soil that is stored.

  However, in the method of inserting the label directly into the cultivation soil, the label can be easily pulled out from the seedling pot, so for example, if the label is pulled out due to impact during transportation or mischief of the consumer, In particular, when the seedling is a young seedling, there is a problem that the label cannot be correctly returned to the original seedling pot.

  Therefore, in order to solve the above-described problems, Patent Literature 1 discloses a seedling pot provided with a heel portion provided at the upper edge portion of the seedling pot and a hole for inserting a label into the heel portion. ing. According to this seedling pot, the label is inserted into a hole provided in the buttock and attached to the seedling pot in a state of being engaged with the hole. Therefore, it is possible to make it difficult for the label to be pulled out from the seedling pot and to simplify the label attaching operation.

  Moreover, in patent document 2, the present inventors can insert / remove a hard thin plate-shaped label into the upper-end opening edge of a seedling pot along the outer surface of a side wall part from upper direction, and this label is inserted only predetermined length. And a slit formed to be locked and held on the label.

In addition, hook-type labels are often hung as labels on large plants such as rose seedlings and vegetable seedlings. And the curved surface printing is performed on the outer surface of the seedling pot and information on the seedling such as the name of the seedling and the cultivation method is printed, or a label on which the information is printed is attached.

  However, even if the conventional detachable label is designed so that it cannot be pulled out easily, it may be detached from the seedling pot due to its structure, and may be lost in some cases. It was. In addition, if the seedling is printed on the outer surface of the seedling pot as described above or has a label attached, the label can be removed from the seedling pot when the seedling is removed from the seedling pot and transferred to another location. There was a problem that the label could not be used because it was not possible.

  In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a seedling pot capable of cutting off a label printed with information on seedlings such as the name of the seedling and the cultivation method from the seedling pot as necessary. Objective.

The seedling pot of the present invention is a flexible resin seedling pot having a bottomed upper end opening having a bottom part and a side wall part, and information on seedlings stored in the seedling pot is described in a part of the side wall part. A label is printed so that the label can be separated.

  In order to facilitate separation, it is preferable to provide a perforation around the portion where the information is printed.

  The seedling pot of the present invention is a flexible resin seedling pot having a bottomed upper end opening having a bottom part and a side wall part, and information on seedlings stored in the seedling pot is described in a part of the side wall part. By printing the label and making it possible to detach the label, when using a seedling pot, the label will not come off, and the label can be detached as necessary, so the label is lost. In addition, since no extra items are attached to the seedling pot, stacking and the like are facilitated.

Then, by providing a perforation around the portion where the information is printed, the label can be easily removed without using a tool.

Embodiments of a seedling pot according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a seedling pot 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The seedling pot 1 is a flexible resin seedling pot with a bottomed top and an open bottom having a bottom part 2 and a side wall part 3, and information on seedlings stored in the seedling pot 1 on the side wall part 3, for example, seedling raising A label 4 on which information about seedlings such as the name of the seedling and the cultivation method is printed on the pot.

The seedling pot 1 is made of a soft synthetic resin such as polyethylene PE or polypropylene PP, and is obtained by vacuum molding or blow molding a thin resin material having a thickness of about 0.4 mm mixed with a predetermined amount of polyethylene (PE), for example. Can do.

On the label 4, as shown in FIG. 1, a contour line 5 is printed around the information so that the label 4 can be separated along the contour line 5. The label 4 can be printed not only on the outside of the side wall 3 but also on the inside. When printing on the inner side, printing is performed at the same position as the outer side, and when the label 4 is cut off, information is printed on both sides of the label 4.

As described above, when the label 4 is printed on the inner side, the manufacturing method by vacuum molding and blow molding as described above is not suitable. For example, on a soft synthetic resin plate such as PP, as shown in FIG. A method is used in which the front and back sides of the label 4 are printed by offset printing, and then bent to form the seedling pot 1 and then bonded by heat bonding.

The contents to be printed on the label 4 above include the name of the seedling, a picture of the seedling growing, the appearance of blooming flowers, and the appearance of fruits of vegetables and fruits. It can be printed (see FIG. 2), and on the back side, contents that can be used as a reference after the seedling is transferred, for example, characteristics of the seedling, how to grow the seedling, etc. can be printed (see FIG. 3). In particular, the contents are not limited, and various information can be printed. However, since the back side is hardly visible until the label 4 is separated from the seedling pot 1, information necessary for selling seedlings is preferably printed on a table.

In the present embodiment, the label 4 is separated using a tool such as scissors. For this purpose, the outline 5 of the label 4 is used as a cut line. In this case, it can be clearly indicated that the line is a cut line.

The side wall 3 is printed not only with the label 4 but also with other information, for example, a state where the seedling is growing, a photo of the fruit growing, or various designs. You can also In this way, it is possible to make a seedling pot that has been a plain impression of black or the like gorgeously. Further, the number of the labels 4 is not limited to one as shown in the figure, and a plurality of labels 4 can be printed and different information can be described.

In this way, by forming the label 4 integrally with the seedling pot 1, there is no possibility that the label 4 is detached and lost as in the past, and the label 4 can be separated as necessary. Furthermore, the surface of the seedling pot 1 can be realized with better design than before.

Next, a seedling pot 1 'according to the second embodiment shown in FIG. 4 will be described in detail.

The seedling pot 1 ′ of the second embodiment is a flexible resin seedling pot 1 ′ having a bottomed upper end and a bottom part 2 and a side wall part 3, as in the first embodiment. A label 4 on which information on seedlings stored in the seedling pot 1 ′, for example, information on seedlings such as the name of the seedling and the cultivation method is printed on the seedling pot is printed.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, a perforation 6 is provided around the label 4 instead of the contour line, and the label 4 can be easily separated by hand without using a tool such as scissors. It has a structure that can be done.

Thus, since the label 4 can be easily removed by providing the perforation 6, the label 4 is separated by hand after transferring the seedling stored in the seedling pot 1 ′. Can be easily inserted.

The feature of the seedling pot of the present invention is that the separable label 4 is provided on the side wall portion 2 of the seedling pots 1 and 1 ′, and the shapes of the seedling pots 1 and 1 ′ and the label 4 are not particularly limited. In addition, the content to be printed on the portion other than the label 4 is not particularly limited.
