Description

  The present invention relates to a method for producing a reciprocal postcard. In detail, even though the appearance is a normal reciprocal postcard, a plurality of leaf pieces are folded or stacked and bonded in a peelable manner so that a large amount of information can be transmitted. It relates to a manufacturing method.

  Recently, it is called a crimped postcard, and it is often used as a single postcard at first glance, in which a plurality of leaf pieces are folded or cut so as to be peelable (hereinafter referred to as pseudo-adhesion). The above-mentioned crimped postcard is designed in such a range that the size, the amount of paper used, etc. conforms to the Postal Service Act, and it is an excellent one that can send a large amount of information in a concealed state while having the same postcard fee. .

  In the above-mentioned crimped postcard, there is a round-trip postcard that is adopted as a means for sending more information with contents that conform to the Postal Service Law at a lower postage. Normally, the range of weight for postcards in the postal law is 2 to 6 g, while the round-trip postcard is much larger, 4 to 12 g. Therefore, the selection range of the paper type and the amount of paper is widened, and various applications can be provided in terms of design.

When designing a reciprocal postcard in the form of a crimped postcard that conforms to the Postal Service Act, assuming that it is possible to transmit the largest amount of information, each leaflet is crimped on both sides of the outgoing postcard connected to the reply postcard. It becomes a form. However, this form of manufacture is not possible by conventional means.
In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing a reciprocating postcard that conforms to the Postal Service and can transmit the largest amount of information.

  In order to solve the above problem, the method for producing a reciprocating postcard according to the present invention includes a unit sheet in which a first leaf piece, a second leaf piece, a third leaf piece, and a fourth leaf piece are connected in a horizontal direction via a folding line. In the long sheet connected to each other, a marginal portion provided with a marginal hole on the outside of the first leaf piece and the fourth leaf piece is connected, and between the first leaf piece and the second leaf piece and between the third leaf piece and the fourth leaf piece. A reciprocating postcard with a long sheet provided with two rows of marginal portions between the surface of the second leaf piece and the first leaf piece, the second leaf piece, which are the pseudo-adhesive surfaces of the long sheet, Forming a pseudo-adhesive medium on the back surface of the fourth leaf piece; After folding the first leaf piece and the second leaf piece of the long sheet on which the pseudo-adhesive medium is formed, and the third leaf piece and the fourth leaf piece facing each other, the second leaf piece surface and the fourth leaf piece back surface are folded. The process of folding with facing each other. A step of cutting a marginal portion between the first leaf piece and the second leaf piece and between the third leaf piece and the fourth leaf piece of the folded long sheet and cutting each unit sheet. It is characterized by comprising the step of pseudo-adhering the pseudo-adhesive media of the pseudo-adhesive planned surfaces facing each other by folding the unit sheet by pressurization or heating / pressurization.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, a method for producing a different reciprocating postcard according to the present invention includes a unit sheet in which a first leaf piece, a second leaf piece, a third leaf piece, and a fourth leaf piece are connected in a lateral direction via a folding line. In the long sheet connected in the vertical direction, a marginal part having a marginal hole provided outside the first leaf piece and the fourth leaf piece is connected, and two rows of marginal parts are provided between the third leaf piece and the fourth leaf piece. A method for producing a reciprocating postcard with a long sheet provided with pseudo-adhesion to the surface of the second leaf piece and the back surface of the first leaf piece, the second leaf piece, and the fourth leaf piece, which are the pseudo-adhesion planned surfaces of the long sheet. Forming a medium; After folding the first leaf piece and the second leaf piece of the long sheet on which the pseudo-adhesive medium is formed, and the third leaf piece and the fourth leaf piece facing each other, the second leaf piece surface and the fourth leaf piece back surface are folded. The process of folding with facing each other. The process of cutting the marginal part between the 3rd leaf piece and the 4th leaf piece of the folded long sheet | seat, and cutting for every unit sheet | seat. It is characterized by comprising the step of pseudo-adhering the pseudo-adhesive media of the pseudo-adhesive planned surfaces facing each other by folding the unit sheet by pressurization or heating / pressurization.

  In the above steps, the order of cutting the marginal part, the step of cutting for each unit sheet, and the step of pseudo-bonding may be switched, and the cutting of the marginal part is performed between other steps or pseudo-bonding It is also possible to disperse and dispose in a plurality of stages, such as later, and cut off in stages.

  The marginal portion is an auxiliary portion used for conveying the long sheet, and is cut out stepwise by a slitter or the like in the processing step. Further, the marginal holes of the two rows of marginal portions provided between the adjacent leaf pieces coincide with each other when folded from the folding line. The matched marginal hole is hung on a pin such as a pin tractor and used for conveying a long sheet.

The three leaf pieces arranged on the side of the outgoing postcard are integrated so as to be peelable by various pseudo-adhesive means and finished into one outgoing postcard. The following three types of pseudo-adhesive means are roughly classified in the industry, and any means may be adopted.
1) Paper that is called pressure-sensitive paper in the industry and coated with a pressure-sensitive adhesive mainly composed of natural rubber or synthetic rubber, which is pseudo-bonded when the adhesive-coated surfaces are opposed to each other and a strong pressure is applied.
2) This is called a varnishing method in the industry, and a pseudo-adhesive film is formed by applying a UV varnish type pseudo-adhesive made of a pseudo-adhesive resin to a surface to be pseudo-bonded. As in the case of the pressure-bonded paper, the pseudo-adhesive films are made to face each other and a strong pressure is applied, or pseudo-adhesion is performed by heating and pressurizing.
3) It is called a film system in the industry, and a pseudo-adhesive film sheet mainly composed of a thermoplastic resin is coated on a planned pseudo-adhesive surface, and the pseudo-adhesive film sheets are opposed to each other in the same manner as described above. Pseudo-adhesion by applying strong pressure or heating / pressurizing.

  In the pseudo-adhesive means, since the pressure-sensitive paper is processed in advance on the paper itself, the step of forming the pseudo-adhesive medium can be omitted. In the varnishing method and the film method, it is necessary to form a pseudo-adhesive medium before folding. The varnishing method can be easily formed by using a UV varnish coater and the film method using a laminate roll or the like.

The long sheet is sequentially conveyed to each step such as formation of a pseudo-adhesive medium on a planned pseudo-adhesion surface, folding, pressurization, or pseudo-adhesion means such as heating / pressurization by a combination of a pin tractor and a marginal. Finally, the marginal part is excised and a single round-trip postcard is completed.
That is, by using each of the long sheets, it becomes possible to continuously produce a large number of reciprocating postcards holding the largest amount of information without difficulty.

  As shown in FIG. 1 (A), the long sheet S1 used in the reciprocating postcard of the present invention has a first leaf piece 1, a second leaf piece 2, a third leaf piece 3 and a fourth leaf piece 4 with fold lines 5, 6, and 7. The unit sheets t1 connected in the horizontal direction via (not necessarily displayed but may be perforated or the like) are vertically connected via the cut line 8 (not necessarily displayed but may be perforated or the like). Articulated in the direction. A marginal portion 10 provided with a marginal hole 9 is connected to the outside of the first leaf piece and the fourth leaf piece 4. Between the first leaf piece 1 and the second leaf side 2 and between the third leaf piece 3 and the fourth leaf piece 4, two rows of marginal portions 10 are provided in parallel with the folding lines 5 and 7 interposed therebetween. Note that the marginal part cut line 11 provided alongside the marginal part 10 does not necessarily need to be displayed in the same manner as the folding lines 5, 6, 7 and the cut line 8, and may be perforated.

  General information 13 such as advertisement is described on the surface of the first leaf piece 1 and the third leaf piece 3. And on the second leaf piece 2 surface, for example, personal information 12 including personal contents regarding privacy is described, but it is not always necessary to include personal information, and it may be general information such as advertisements, Personal information and general information may be mixed. Note that “POST CARD” is displayed on the belt-like portion that appears after the surface of the second leaf piece 2 is folded. Further, the surface of the fourth leaf piece 4 is the address face of the forward mail postcard, on which a postage stamp column, a postal code column, the address name of the recipient, etc. are written.

  As shown in FIG. 1B, personal information 12 is written on the back of the fourth leaf piece 4, the second leaf piece 2, and the first leaf piece 1, but it is not always necessary to include personal information in the same way as described above. General information such as advertisements may be used, and personal information and general information may be mixed. The back side of the third leaf piece 3 is an address surface of a reply postcard, and a postage stamp field, a postal code field, an address name of a reply destination, and the like are described.

  For example, the long sheet S1 is folded in a bellows shape along a vertical cut line 8 (or may be wound in a roll shape), and is arranged at the left end in the figure as shown in FIG. Then, after being pulled up vertically from that position and turned almost horizontally by the upper support roller 21, the pins of the downstream first pin tractor 22 and the marginal holes 9 at both ends of the long sheet S <b> 1 are aligned to shift the position. It is transported downstream without causing any problems.

  A pair of heat rollers 23 is disposed downstream, and a pseudo adhesive film sheet G fed out from a roll disposed above or below is drawn. A heat-sensitive adhesive layer is formed on the surface of the pseudo-adhesive film sheet G that is in contact with the surface of the long sheet S <b> 1, and exhibits adhesiveness by the heating action of the heat roller 23. In this state, the sheet is aligned with the pre-pseudo-bonding surface of the long sheet S1, and the two are completely bonded together by the pressure action of the heat roller 23 so as not to be peeled off.

  In the long sheet S1 in which the pseudo-adhesive planned surface is covered with the pseudo-adhesive film sheet G, the marginal portions 10 on both outer sides are cut by the slitter 24 until the downstream nip roller 25 is reached. Then, a slack is formed between the support roller 26 arranged further downstream and conveyed to the folding device X further downstream.

  In the folding apparatus X, as shown to FIG. 3 (A), it folds so that the back surfaces of the 1st leaf piece 1 and the 2nd leaf piece 2, and the surface of the 3rd leaf piece 3 and the 4th leaf piece 4 may oppose. Further, the front surface of the second leaf piece 2 and the back surface of the fourth leaf piece 4 are folded from the fold line 6 so as to be opposed to the state shown in FIG. In this state, the four marginal portions 10 are overlapped and coincide with each other as indicated by a chain line in the figure.

  The folded long sheet S1 is turned substantially horizontally by the support roller 27, and is conveyed to a further downstream process while matching the pin of the second pin tractor 28 arranged downstream and the marginal hole 9. . A slitter 29 is disposed downstream of the pin tractor 28, and four marginal portions 10 that coincide and overlap by folding along a two-dot chain line (corresponding to the cut line 11) in FIG. The top and bottom direction is cut by the die cut roller 30 arranged further downstream to form a reciprocal postcard of an individual unit.

  The reciprocating postcard paper cut into individual units is further conveyed to the downstream pseudo-adhesion process. In the pseudo-adhesion process, for example, a system in which a plurality of pairs of transport rollers 31 and a pair of heater panels 32 are alternately arranged can be suitably employed. The reciprocating postcard paper passing between the heater panels 32 is heated by the transport roller 31 and subjected to pressure treatment by the pressure roller 33 provided at the discharge port, so that the opposing pseudo-adhesive media can be separated from each other. Monkey. Then, it is discharged to a stacker 34 composed of a belt conveyor or the like and sequentially stacked. As the heating / pressurizing means, a heat roller may be used, or other known means may be used.

As shown in FIG. 5, when the completed round-trip postcard is mailed, it is reversed from the folding line 6 so that the front side of the first leaf piece 1 and the back side of the third leaf piece 3 face each other, Just post it in the form of a postcard.

  The recipient of the round-trip postcard finished in this way peels off the first leaf piece 1 and the fourth leaf piece 4 that are pseudo-adhered to both sides of the second leaf piece 2 that hits the body of the forward receipt postcard in the center of the outgoing postcard. The written personal information 12 can be visually recognized. If it is an original round-trip postcard, each postcard of the forward postcard and the reply postcard is connected, but according to the present invention, the reply postcard is only one leaf piece and there is no change from the conventional round-trip postcard, Since it is composed of three leaf pieces, the amount of information increases dramatically.

Next, a modification of the method for producing a reciprocating postcard according to the present invention will be described.
As shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the long sheet S2 of the modified example has no marginal portion between the first leaf piece 1 and the second leaf piece 2 and is directly connected by a fold line 5 as described above. Different from the embodiment. The other parts are completely the same and will not be described.

  The manufacturing method using the long sheet S2 is almost the same, but the cross-section after being folded by the folding device X is different as shown in FIGS. In the first embodiment, the marginal portions 10 between the first leaf piece 1 and the second leaf piece 2 and between the third leaf piece 3 and the fourth leaf piece 4 coincide and overlap, but in this embodiment, the third leaf piece 3 and the fourth leaf piece overlap. Only four marginal portions 10 overlap in a protruding manner. By cutting the marginal portion 10 in this state, the third leaf piece 3 of the reply post body and the second leaf piece 2 which becomes the body of the forward postcard are connected by the fold line 6, and on the front and back surfaces of the second leaf piece 2. Each of the first leaf piece 1 and the fourth leaf piece 4 is finished into a reciprocating postcard in which it is pseudo-bonded.

  The difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that the separable first leaf piece 1 and the fourth leaf piece 4 are pseudo-bonded to the second leaf piece 2 corresponding to the outgoing postcard body, or the first leaf piece 1 is the second leaf piece 2. And the fourth leaf piece 4 is pseudo-bonded so as to be separable. Such a structural difference is useful in selecting a structure that exhibits a design effect and the like more effectively in consideration of the purpose of using the reciprocal postcard of the present invention.
