Description

  The present invention relates to a paper bag that converts predetermined information into code data and displays an information code such as a two-dimensional code indicating the code data.

  Conventionally, information on products, manufacturers, etc. is converted into a two-dimensional code, and the code is displayed on the product packaging material. For example, at the retail store front, the packaging material is used to wrap the purchased product. It is well known to have a reader such as a mobile phone having a reading function read the two-dimensional code to advertise information on products, manufacturers, etc. to consumers.

  However, there are not many people who actively look at the above-mentioned two-dimensional code and try to obtain information on products, manufacturers, etc. From this, the prize information is included in the two-dimensional code, It may improve the willingness to purchase products as well as advertising effects.

  This two-dimensional code is printed on a paper material when a manufacturer-designated illustration or character is printed on the paper material of the packaging material, and is formed on a packaging material such as a desired packaging paper or paper bag.

  As described above, the two-dimensional code including the prize information is printed together with the manufacturer-designated illustrations and characters on the packaging material, so the illustrations and characters etc. can be changed while changing the code pattern arbitrarily. In addition, it is impossible to print on packaging materials, and conventional two-dimensional codes including sweepstakes are not directly a lottery, but they can be accessed by accessing the email address or homepage address in the two-dimensional code. I try to participate in the sweepstakes according to the instructions on the site.

  For this reason, since the person who purchased the product can participate in the sweepstakes only after accessing the e-mail address or homepage address in the two-dimensional code, it takes time to participate in the sweepstakes.

  Also, even if you participate in a sweepstakes, you will not always win, so you can improve the consumer's willingness to purchase at the beginning of displaying a two-dimensional code that includes sweepstakes information. Had to access the e-mail address and homepage address in the two-dimensional code, so there was a drawback that consumers' willingness to purchase gradually decreased over time.

Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2005-298018 (pages 1-8, FIGS. 1-5)

  In the present invention, an information code such as an individual two-dimensional code is displayed on a paper bag as a packaging material, and the information code displayed on each paper bag can be used as various data, for example, displayed on each paper bag. When the code data indicated by the information code is made to function as a lottery number such as a prize, the purchaser can quickly know the result of the prize by reading the code with a reading device such as a mobile phone. It is possible to provide a paper bag displaying an information code that can reduce the time and effort of the participants and improve the consumer's willingness to purchase products and extend the product purchase period.

The figure which showed the state which read the same information code with the mobile telephone which has a reader function while showing an information code. The figure which showed the state which converted and displayed the information code read with the mobile telephone.

  In describing a paper bag according to the present invention, a paper bag used for packaging a product at a retail store, which converts predetermined information including prize information into a two-dimensional code as an information code and displays it Will be described as an example.

  As the two-dimensional code, for example, a QR code (registered trademark) of a matrix type that represents a display area with a grid pattern or a stack type of a reduced one-dimensional code arranged in tandem is used.

  There are various standards for two-dimensional codes, and there are cases where color display is used in addition to monochrome display.

  Hereinafter, the two-dimensional code shown in the drawings in the embodiments is described by taking a QR code as an example.

Hereinafter, a paper bag displaying an information code of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
In FIG. 1, a QR code 4 that is a two-dimensional code including prize information is displayed on the bottom 2 outside the hand-held square bottom bag 1 that is a paper bag made of a flexible paper material.

  In addition, what is shown in FIG. 2 displays a QR code 4 including prize information in the town part 3 outside the square bottom bag 1.

  The bottom portion 2 and the town portion 3 of the square-bottom bag 1 described above are portions that do not easily cause wrinkles even when carrying a bag containing products, and are also portions that hardly affect the appearance design of the bag. The portion is suitable for displaying the QR code 4.

  However, depending on the product to be stored and how the paper bag is used, it may be displayed at a position such as the lower corners of the front and rear body portions other than the bottom portion 2 and the town portion 3 described above.

  The QR code 4 is preferably printed using an inkjet printer having a configuration that can be independently installed on the production line.

  By using an ink jet printer that can be installed alone in this production line, as shown in FIG. 3, the QR code 4 is used in the bag making process, which is the next process of the printing process for printing illustrations / characters on a paper material as a packaging material. The QR code 4 can be printed on almost any desired portion of the packaging material.

Although not shown in the figure, printing of the QR code 4 in the bag making process may be performed, for example, in a flat state in which a roll base paper set in a bag making machine is fed out by a roller. In some cases, printing is performed on the raised portion while the paper material is raised with a spatula in the machine and formed into a bag.
That is, the QR code 4 is printed while the roll-shaped base paper is formed in, for example, a handbag in the bag making process.

  However, when the QR code 4 is printed on the gusset portion 3, the gusset portion 3 enters the inside of the paper material into which the gusset portion 3 is folded. Therefore, the QR code 4 is not performed in the bag making process shown in FIG. As shown in (a) of the inside, the two-dimensional code printing step provided before the bag making step is performed.

  In addition, when the QR code 4 is displayed other than the portion that enters the inside of the paper material by bag making as in the case of the town portion 3, it is not printed in the bag making process described above, but (b) in FIG. ) As shown in the figure, the two-dimensional code printing step provided after the bag making step may be performed.

  And, when entering lottery information such as “lot” / “out” in the prize information, a person manually operates a personal computer connected to an inkjet printer for printing the QR code 4, Alternatively, the lottery information is appropriately changed by a personal computer and automatically entered.

  FIG. 5 shows a state in which the QR code 4 is photographed by a camera (not shown) of the mobile phone 6 having a reading function and displayed on the display 7 of the mobile phone 6. By reading the code content by the reading function of the mobile phone 6, a message 8 (winning prize etc.) can be displayed on the display 7 of the mobile phone 6 as shown in FIG.

  The QR code 4 may be read by any device having a function of reading the QR code 4, and in addition to a mobile phone, for example, a digital camera or a dedicated reader installed in a store may be used. .

  The paper bag displaying the information code according to the present invention displays individual information for each packaging material when the predetermined information is converted into a two-dimensional code and displayed on the packaging material. Besides, it can be used for product management such as products purchased by consumers, preferences, time zones, etc. by associating with purchase information such as POS information, and can be used for a wide range of applications depending on the idea.

  In addition, when encoding information, if the amount of information to be encoded is very small, the information may be converted into a one-dimensional code such as a barcode and displayed. In the case of displaying only “hits” / “miss”, there is a case where a one-dimensional code is displayed and the one-dimensional code is read by a one-dimensional code reader installed in the store.

  In addition, the code | symbol 5 in FIG.1, 2 has shown the handle for utilizing the square bottom bag 1 as a handbag.
