It is a top view of the envelope for demonstrating another embodiment of the envelope which concerns on this invention.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail. FIG. 1 shows a reciprocating envelope 10 with a label according to the present invention. FIG. 1A is a plan view of the surface 12 of the envelope 11 and a plan view of a label 21 to be attached to the surface 12 of the envelope 11. FIG. 1B is a plan view showing the back surface 13 of the envelope 11. The envelope 11 is used in combination with a label 21 for sending and receiving documents and parent documents.

  The envelope 11 has a rectangular shape with one side open, and a flap 14 continuous with the surface 12 side is provided at the opening. The flap 14 is configured to be folded back to the back surface 13 side at the fold line 15 of the opening and close the envelope 11. Reply destination information 17 is printed on the front surface 12 near the flap 14. Also, a notation 18 of a reply fee payment method is printed between the folding line 15 and the reply destination information 17. For example, it is a display such as a payee payment. On the back surface 13, outgoing transmission source information 19 is described.

  The label 21 used in combination with the envelope 11 is a connected label in which an outgoing credit destination label piece 22, an outgoing payment method notation label piece 23, and a sealing label piece 24 are connected in this order. A separation perforation 27 is formed at the boundary between the destination label piece 22 and the payment method notation label piece 23, and the folding and separation are also used between the payment method notation label piece 23 and the sealing label piece 24. The perforation 28 is formed. The short side of the label 21 (approximately equivalent to the length of the perforations 27 and 28) is set to be equal to or smaller than the width of the opening 15 of the envelope 11.

  The destination label piece 22 has outgoing destination information 31 described therein. The payment method notation label piece 23 is a column indicating that a fee has been paid. For example, in the case of mail, in addition to printing a stamp, printing a postage-paid postal stamp, a space for pressing a postage-paid postal stamp, or sticking a sticker, the postage stamping column 25 is provided. The sealing label piece 24 is folded back to the back surface 13 side along with the flap 14 at the fold line 15, and the flap 14 is attached to the back surface 13 for sealing. More specifically, the portion of the adhesive that protrudes from the flap 14 of the sealing label piece 24 is attached to the back surface 13 of the envelope 11. When the label 21 is pasted on the envelope 11, the perforation 28 is aligned with the fold line 15.

  The total area of the destination label piece 22 and the payment method notation label piece 23 is larger than the range of the return address information 17 on the surface of the envelope 11 and the charge payment method notation 18, and when pasted on the envelope 11 They can be completely covered and concealed. The sealing label piece 24 is larger than the flap 14, and has a size that protrudes in the direction of the tip when the label piece 24 is stacked on the flap 14. The sealing label piece 24 is attached so as to cover almost the entire surface of the flap 14, is folded back along the folding line 15 together with the flap 14, and is attached to the back surface 13 of the envelope 11 for use.

  The pressure-sensitive adhesive applied to the label 21 is a re-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive that can repeat affixing and peeling a plurality of times. Each of the label pieces 22, 23, and 24 is a re-peeling label.

  Next, the usage method of the reciprocating envelope with a label of this invention is demonstrated using FIGS. FIG. 2 is a plan view showing a state in which the label 21 is attached to the front surface 12 of the envelope 11. FIG. 2 (a) shows the front surface 12 and FIG. 2 (b) shows the back surface 13.

  A separation perforation 28 between the label 21 for payment method notation of the label 21 and the label piece 24 for sealing is attached to the envelope 11 in accordance with the fold line 15 of the flap 14. Then, the reply destination information 17 and the fee payment method notation 18 (see FIG. 1) on the surface of the envelope 11 are concealed by attaching the address label piece 22 and the payment method notation label piece 23, and the surface of the envelope 11 is covered. 12, the destination information 31 is displayed. The surface of the label 23 for the payment method notation becomes a payment schedule column such as a stamp for sticking a stamp or a stamp for a separate payment stamp.

  As shown in FIG. 2B, the sealing label piece 24 is larger than the flap 14, and thus protrudes from the tip of the flap 14. After putting a document or the like into the envelope 11, the sealing label piece 24 and the flap 14 are folded at the perforation 28, that is, the fold line 15, and the adhesive surface of the sealing label piece 24 is attached to the back surface 13 of the envelope 11. As a result, the flap 14 is fixed to the envelope 11. The envelope 11 is sealed by a sealing label piece 24 as shown in FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b). When shipping by mail, a stamp 26 of a predetermined amount is pasted on a pasting schedule column 25 such as a stamp on the label piece 23 for payment method notation. The envelope 11 is mailed out as an outgoing mail in this state. At this time, since it is not necessary to enclose a return envelope, consumption of pulp, which is a raw material of the envelope, and forest resources is reduced. In terms of cost, the cost of the return envelope is not required, and the weight of the return envelope is not added to the weight of the outgoing mail, thereby reducing the fare. .

  As shown in FIG. 4B, the sealing label piece 24 is peeled off from the envelope 11 delivered to the destination. Then, the flap 14 integrated with the sealing label piece 24 is opened, and the envelope 11 is opened. Here, since the flap 14 itself is not bonded to the back surface 13 of the envelope 11, the flap 14 and the envelope 11 are not torn and damaged. The undamaged envelope 11 remains reusable.

  When used as a reply envelope, the destination label piece 22 is peeled off while being cut off by the cutting perforation 27 as shown in FIG. The payment method notation label piece 23 to which the stamp 26 is attached is also peeled off from the envelope 11 while being separated by the separation perforation 28. Then, on the surface 12 of the envelope 11, as shown in FIG. 5A, reply address information 17 in which the address and company name of the reply address are described, and the payee payment which is the notation 18 of the reply fee payment method. Appears. Here, the state where the destination label piece 22 and the payment method notation label piece 23 are peeled separately has been described, but they may be separated into two pieces after being peeled together.

  The peeled destination label piece 22 is pasted on the back surface 13 of the envelope 11 as shown in FIG. 5B, and is reused as a label on which the return sender information is described. The pasting position is overlaid on the outgoing message source information 19 and is hidden. This saves you the trouble of writing the sender information for your reply. At this time, since the name is given a title as a remark when it is used as the destination label piece 22, it is erased with a double line. The peeled-out payment method notation label piece 23 is discarded because it cannot be reused, for example, the stamp 26 on the front surface is postmarked.

  After putting the documents to be returned, the flap 14 and the sealing label piece 24 are folded back as shown in FIG. 6, and the sealing label piece 24 is attached to the back surface 13 of the envelope 11. The envelope 11 is sealed again, and this time it is mailed as a reply envelope and is effectively reused.

  Thus, according to the reciprocating envelope with a label and the method of using the same according to the present invention, a single envelope can be used for sending and receiving. Therefore, the cost of the reply envelope is not required, and an increase in the shipping cost due to the increase in the weight of the entire envelope accompanying the return envelope is avoided. When used for return, it is convenient to peel off the destination label piece 22 of the outgoing message and paste it on the back surface 13 so that it can be reused as sender information of the reply. Further, since the return envelope is not necessary, the paper constituting the envelope becomes unnecessary, so that the consumption of pulp and wood, which are raw materials for paper, can be suppressed, contributing to the protection of forest resources. Furthermore, the amount of waste is reduced by one envelope, which contributes to the reduction of waste.

  FIG. 7 shows another embodiment of the method of using the labeled reciprocating envelope of the present invention. 7A and 7B show an example in which the sealing label piece 24 is also peeled off. At the time of reply, the sealing label piece 24 is not used, but it is glued and folded on the flap 14 and attached to the back surface of the envelope 11. Whether or not to use the sealing label piece 24 at the time of reply is arbitrary.

  It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and it is obvious that each embodiment can be appropriately changed within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention. In addition, the number, position, shape, arrangement, and the like of the above-described constituent members are not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be set to a suitable number, position, shape, and the like for carrying out the present invention.

  The type and material of the label 21 are not particularly limited, such as paper or synthetic resin film, and those generally used as adhesive paper can be used. For example, a paper substrate such as fine paper, coated paper, art paper, synthetic resin film made of PET (polyethylene terephthalate), PE (polyethylene), PP (polypropylene), PS (polystyrene), or the above synthetic resin A composite sheet obtained by combining a plurality of types and a synthetic resin film and paper can also be used. Thermal paper may be used.

  The pressure-sensitive adhesive used for the pressure-sensitive adhesive used for the label 21 is, for example, an emulsion system (a pressure-sensitive adhesive dispersed in water), a solvent system (a pressure-sensitive adhesive dissolved in a solvent), or a hot melt system (using thermoplasticity). Etc.). Examples of the material include adhesives such as synthetic rubber, natural rubber, acrylic resin, polyvinyl ether resin, urethane resin, and silicone resin. The adhesive strength is desirably a re-peeling type that can repeat the pasting and peeling a plurality of times, or a weak viscosity.

  The type and material of the envelope 11 are not particularly limited, such as paper or a synthetic resin film, and those generally used as general-purpose envelopes can be used. For example, paper substrates such as high-quality paper, coated paper, art paper, craft paper, and durability are emphasized, and PET (polyethylene terephthalate), PE (polyethylene), PP (polypropylene), and PS (polystyrene) are used as materials. A synthetic resin film, a sheet obtained by combining a plurality of the above-mentioned synthetic resins, and a composite sheet obtained by combining a synthetic resin film and paper can also be used.

  Regarding the shape of the envelope, in the above-described embodiment, the long and square, and the intermediately bonded envelope are taken as an example, but the shape of the envelope may be a western shape in addition to the long and square shape. The method of sticking the envelope is arbitrary, for example, middle sticking, left side sticking, right side reverse sticking, inner barracuda sticking, outer barracuda sticking, diamond sticking.
