Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an opening means for an information communication medium using pressure bonding paper which is releasably combined therewith by pressure, prevented from opening by itself during transport and from being opened by a third party, thereby enabling a complete confidential information medium for the recipient to open safely and securely. <P>SOLUTION: A strip-like ink layer O is formed on the opening edges of the facing sheets 1, 2 for sealing the adhesiveness of the bonding paper. Then a cut-off perforation M is formed on the inner side of the strip-like ink layer. The information communication medium structured in this manner has no step on its opening end face, enabling good sealing condition, and thus it does not open by itself during transport. As the third party is unable to open it, the recipient can safely and securely cut off the opening end face at the cut-off perforation M, thereby can easily open from the fracture surface exposed. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to an unsealing means for an information communication body that is used for DM, postcards, reciprocating postcards, sealed letters, and the like, in which a plurality of leaf pieces are detachably stacked.

In recent years, an information communication body in which a plurality of leaf pieces on which information is written is folded or separated and then overlapped and mailed is widely used as postal items such as postcards.
As the pseudo-adhesive means of the information communication body, for example, a paper (which is referred to as a pressure-sensitive paper in the industry) that normally has no adhesiveness or tackiness and is detachably bonded when pressed is used. For example, if the information communication body using the pressure-bonded paper is folded in two and pressed, it can be easily pseudo-bonded, so it is only necessary to prepare a pressure roller, and other pseudo-bonding that requires heating and pressure processing. The system is simpler than the means. Further, since printing can be performed directly on the surface of the pressure-bonded paper with a printer or the like, it is more convenient than other means that use a film, UV varnish or the like for pseudo adhesion (cannot print on the surface).

However, the information communication body using the pressure-bonded paper needs to be devised for the opening because of its good adhesion. That is, in order to facilitate opening, it is necessary to shift the two leaf pieces facing each other when they are folded so that they do not coincide with each other or to form a step intentionally by applying a corner cut. However, ironically, the stepped portion for the purpose of facilitating the opening causes an accident such as a natural opening due to interference with other postal items during mailing. Therefore, there is a need for an opening means that is easy to open and does not open naturally during mailing.
The present invention solves the contradictory problems in an information communication body, and provides an unsealing means in a completely confidential information communication body that cannot be opened by a third party other than the recipient.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the information communication body opening means according to the present invention includes information obtained by folding or stacking sheets in which a plurality of leaf pieces are connected via a folding line, and pseudo-adhering the opposing leaf pieces in a peelable manner. In the communication body, an ink layer is formed in a band shape along an opening edge on the inner surface side of each opposing leaf piece, and a perforation for opening is provided in a range where the band-like ink layer of the leaf piece is provided. It is a feature.

  The information communication body according to the present invention does not form a step at the opening edge, and the opposed leaf pieces substantially coincide with each other at the opening edge. Therefore, it is impossible to intentionally open an information communication body in which the opening opening along the outer opening edge of the belt-shaped ink layer is sufficiently intimate, since there is no portion that will be caught by a finger. It is also a factor that prevents accidents such as natural opening.

  The band-shaped ink layer formed along the opening edge of the present invention is for sealing the adhesive force on the surface of the pressure-bonded paper, and the pressure-sensitive paper surface covered with the ink layer loses the adhesive force. There are no particular restrictions on the type or color of the ink, and ordinary offset inks and UV inks can be suitably used. In addition, as for the printing state of the belt-like portion, solid printing or halftone printing is performed. In the experiments by the present inventors, it has been found that the adhesiveness of the pressure-bonded paper can be sealed if it is 50% or more shaded in a cold color system (black, dark blue, brown, etc.).

  The printing of the band-shaped part is not necessarily continuous, and may be divided into a plurality of parts. Also, it is not necessary for the strips of the opposing leaf pieces to coincide and overlap, for example, one may be wide and the other narrow, and in a state where they do not overlap and overlap each other. It does not matter if they overlap.

  As described above, the information communication body of the present invention is a completely confidential information communication body that is not intentionally or mistakenly opened by a third party other than the recipient, and there is no step that becomes a clue for opening. Therefore, there is no accident that opens naturally during mailing. The recipient can confirm the information by opening the perforation formed at the opening end portion safely and safely.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIGS. 1A, 1B, and 1C are a front view, a back view, and a cross-sectional view taken along line XX of a folded paper sheet. FIGS. 2A and 2B are cross-sectional views of the folded folded postcard sheet of FIG. 1 and the unsealed edge cut off. 3A and 3B are cross-sectional views showing different states of the folded state and the unsealed state. 4A and 4B are a front view and a back view of a tri-fold postcard paper. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of a tri-fold postcard.

  As shown in FIG. 1A, the first and second leaf pieces 1 and 2 of the two-folded postcard sheet S1 are connected via a fold line 3. On the surface of the first leaf piece 1, for example, a postage stamp field 4, a postal code field 5, and a recipient's address name 6 are described. On the surface of the second leaf piece 2, normal information such as advertisements is described. Both leaf pieces are cut off at the outer end along the long side to form a sewing machine M.

As shown in FIG. 1 (B), a pressure-sensitive adhesive N is applied to the back side so that it can be peeled off when pressed with a strong pressure over almost the entire area. A strip-shaped ink layer O is formed along the long side of both leaves, and a cut-off sewing machine M is formed around the center. This ink layer O covers the surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive N as shown in FIG.
It should be noted that printing may be performed on the back side within a range that does not impair the adhesiveness by, for example, halftone dots, characters or ruled lines.

  As shown in FIG. 2A, the two-folded postcard paper S1 is folded from the fold line 3 and applied with a strong pressure so as to be integrated in a peelable manner. In this case, the unsealed edges of the two leaf pieces folded and overlapped coincide with each other without forming a step and can be opened with a finger because they are well adhered to each other by the pressure-sensitive adhesive N. Of course, there will be no natural opening during mailing.

The recipient of this postcard, for example, follows the instructions written on the surface of the postcard and manually cuts off the cut-off sewing machine M as shown in FIG. Since the cut-off sewing machine M is designed to coincide with the folding machine, the breaking operation can be easily completed.
And after breaking, it can be peeled and developed on a flat surface by turning the non-adhesive part of the ink layer O (this part has impaired adhesiveness) formed along the fracture surface, and then the internal information is confirmed It can be done.

  In the above example, the sewing machine M was formed by cutting off both leaf pieces. However, as shown in FIG. 3, it may be formed only on the first leaf piece 1, for example. In this case, when the sewing machine M is cut by hand and folded into a mountain, it is broken and can be easily opened as shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 4A, on the surface of the tri-fold (Z-fold) postcard paper S2, the first leaf edge 11, the second leaf edge 12, and the third leaf edge 13 are arranged in the horizontal direction via the folding lines 14, 15. It is connected. On the surface of the first leaf piece 11, for example, a postage stamp column 16, a postal code column 17, a recipient's address name 18 and the like are described. The surface of the second leaf piece 12 and the third leaf piece 13 is coated with a pressure-sensitive adhesive N that adheres in a peelable manner when pressed with a strong pressure over almost the entire area. A strip-shaped ink layer O is formed along the outer long side of the third leaf piece 13, and a cut-off sewing machine M is formed around the center thereof.

As shown in FIG. 4B, the back surface of the tri-fold (Z-fold) postcard paper S2 has a pressure-sensitive adhesive P that adheres completely when it is pressed over almost the entire area of the second leaf piece 12 and the first leaf piece 11 with high pressure. It has been applied. A cut-off sewing machine M is formed along the outer long side of the third leaf piece 13.
In addition, normal information, such as an advertisement, may be described on the back surface of the third leaf piece 13, for example.
Further, the surface of the second leaf piece 12 and the surface of the third leaf piece 13 are coated with a pressure-sensitive adhesive N that adheres in a peelable manner when pressed with a strong pressure over almost the entire area, but the pressure-sensitive adhesive N is applied. The printed area may be printed within a range that does not impair the adhesiveness by, for example, halftone dots, characters, ruled lines, or the like.

  The three-fold postcard sheet S2 is integrated by being folded from folding lines 14 and 15 as shown in FIG. At that time, the edges of the folded leaf pieces coincide with each other without forming a step, and the surfaces of the second leaf piece 12 and the third leaf piece 13 are completely adhered to each other by the pressure-sensitive adhesive N so that they can be opened with fingers. It is difficult. Of course, there will be no natural opening during mailing. The recipient of this postcard, like the first embodiment, can be cut off by hand and broken when the sewing machine M is folded in a mountain, and can be easily opened to check the internal information.
