FIG. 1 shows a commemorative ticket 1 as an example of a printed material manufactured by the method for manufacturing a multi-variety small lot printed material on which variable information according to an embodiment of the present invention is displayed.
As shown in FIG. 1 (a), this commemorative ticket 1 has a shape reminiscent of a carp streamer for the user, and on its surface, a display pattern or print printed in common on all commemorative tickets 1 sold. It has a common printing unit 2 on which characters and the like are given, and a variable information display unit 3 on which a station name for each station selling the commemorative ticket 1 is displayed.
In other words, the common printing unit 2 displays the mouth of the frog, the eyeballs, and the scales as the pattern, and further displays the character “Karibori Commemorative Kip” as the character.
The variable information display unit 3 displays station name information “Shinjuku Station” as an example.
In addition, as shown in FIG. 1B, the memorial ticket 1 has substantially the same thickness as a normal ticket, but since it is the memorial ticket 1, the thickness of the paper may be arbitrarily set.

The illustrated memorial ticket 1 is an example for explaining the printed material used in the manufacturing method of the multi-variety small-lot printed material on which variable information is displayed in an easy-to-understand manner, and is limited to the commemorative ticket 1 of the “carp streamer memorial ticket”. It is not something.
That is, the printed material manufactured by the method for manufacturing a multi-variety small-lot printed material on which variable information according to the embodiment of the present invention is displayed is a printed material that is die-cut from a multi-faced printing paper, and the printed material includes: Manufactures printed matter having a common printing unit 2 with a display pattern or characters printed in common, and a variable information display unit 3 for displaying different information, that is, variable information for each predetermined lot. It is the target of purpose.
