Description

  The present invention relates to a long cylindrical body that is provided with an arbitrary display such as a whale on the inner surface side and is fitted into and mounted on a container body.

  Conventionally, as a container for soft drinks such as tea and juice, a cylindrical shape in which the name of the product, design, explanation about the contents, etc. are printed on the container body made of glass or plastic that is filled with soft drinks that are the contents The one in which the label is inserted and mounted is known.

  By the way, in beverage products as described above, for the purpose of promoting sales, premium campaigns such as various prizes are frequently conducted by the purchase of beverage products, and such campaigns are performed. In some cases, the application sticker is affixed to the label surface, or a special display for the campaign (for example, “winning”, “losing” or the number of application points “1”, “5”, etc.) is printed on the label. It is applied inside.

  However, the means for sticking the application sticker or the like to the label may cause the application sticker to be peeled off by mischief at the store or the like.

  In addition, when printing an application display on a label, it was performed as follows. In other words, for example, the hit label and the loss label are currently printed in separate steps by a known printing machine such as gravure printing. As a result, printing parts such as dedicated plate rolls are required. The number of winning labels is smaller than the number of labels for losing. In particular, when the prize is expensive, the ratio of the winning label to the lost label is very small (the number of winning labels may be small). When each label is printed, there is a problem that the manufacturing cost of hitting labels increases. Also, in order to mix “winning” and “losing” in the product, very laborious work is required. Met.

  In addition, when the application method is different for each campaign, an application display different from the previous one is necessary, and it is necessary to manufacture a dedicated plate roll or the like.

  Although it is possible to provide a “win” display and a “lost” display on a single plate roll, there are limits to the number of plate sections provided on a single plate roll, so a “win” display and “lost” display are possible. There was a limit to the display ratio. The same applies to the case where different displays such as “1 point”, “3 points”, “5 points”, etc. are provided on the plate roll.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to make it possible to use a cylindrical label as a lottery or an application ticket, to prevent mischief at a store, etc., and the purchaser can easily confirm any display such as winning or losing In addition, an arbitrary display can be quickly printed on a label with a simple configuration, so that the taste of a campaign for the purpose of a lottery or an application can be improved.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention provides a long cylindrical body for forming a plurality of cylindrical labels by dividing a long and cylindrical film at a predetermined interval. The inner surface of the film and the portion corresponding to each label are each provided with a non-impact printer so that arbitrary information such as whale information is not visible from the outer surface side of the film. To do.

  In addition, specific printing means the display of the product display common to each label, the description regarding a content, an advertisement, etc. Arbitrary display means two or more different types of display, such as a lottery display such as “win” or “losing”, or a point display such as “1 point” or “5 points”. This refers to a prize display such as an application display such as an ID number indicating eligibility for application by telephone or the Internet.

  By feeding out such a long cylindrical body, a cylindrical label in which two or more kinds of displays are mixed can be easily and continuously supplied and attached to the container body.

  And since any indication is given on the inner surface of the tubular film, it is possible to prevent tampering at the store etc., unlike the case where application stickers (separate tack labels etc.) are affixed, and the purchaser Later, the cylindrical label is removed from the container, and the indication of winning or losing can be easily confirmed.

  In the present invention, an ink jet printer may be used as the non-impact printer.

  According to such a configuration, a non-impact printer capable of variable printing, such as an ink jet printer, is used to give an arbitrary display. By controlling the printer, a plurality of different displays can be easily and quickly labeled. Can be printed.

  In the present invention, the arbitrary display may be applied to each label such that a plurality of different displays are mixed.

  In the present invention, the arbitrary display may be applied to each label so that the display is different for each label.

  The cylindrical label is provided with an arbitrary display such as whale information by a non-impact printer capable of variable printing on the inner surface of the cylindrical film on which specific printing has been performed. It may be configured to be invisible from the side.

  Further, a method for producing a long cylindrical body is a method for producing a long cylindrical body for producing a continuous cylindrical label by forming a long film into a cylindrical shape. On the one side of each part of the label, an arbitrary display such as whale information is given by a non-impact printer so as not to be visible from the other side, and thereafter, the display is on the inner side so that the display is on the inner side. You may join a both ends and form a film in a cylinder shape.

  Further, the container with a cylindrical label may be filled with a content in which the cylindrical label is attached to a transparent container main body and the arbitrary display cannot be seen through.

  As described above, the present invention can prevent mischief at a storefront or the like, unlike a conventional one in which an application sticker made of a tack label or the like is pasted. Can be easily confirmed, and is ideal as it has lottery and application tickets.

  In addition, in order to give an arbitrary display by a non-impact printer such as an ink jet printer, the printing contents can be changed easily and quickly while continuously printing when the film is fed out in the process of forming the film into a cylindrical shape, Even in the case where different displays sufficiently follow the film feed, it is possible to print at a predetermined position. Therefore, it is not necessary to manufacture each plate roll as in the prior art, the cost of the label can be reduced, and any different display can be easily and quickly printed on the label. Moreover, since arbitrary display is performed by the non-impact printer, it is possible to easily change the arbitrary display by changing the program for controlling the printer to cope with a plurality of campaigns having a short cycle.

  In addition to the arbitrary display of the whale information, etc., if the inner surface of the tubular film is provided with an identification display with invisible ink, whether or not the tubular label has been illegally created is indicated. There is an advantage that it can be confirmed and forgery of the label can be prevented.

1 shows an embodiment of the present invention, (A) is a perspective view of a cylindrical label, (B) is a cross-sectional view of the label. The whole perspective view of the container with which the cylindrical label was mounted | worn. The perspective view which shows the manufacturing process of the same elongate cylindrical body. The other embodiment of this invention is shown, (A) is a perspective view of a cylindrical label, (B) is a front view of a label.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a cylindrical label 1 according to the present invention. The cylindrical label 1 is provided with a label main body 5 formed in a cylindrical shape by adhering both ends of the film 3, and the cylindrical label 1 is mounted on a container main body 10 as shown in FIG.

  The film 3 has, for example, transparency, and a label printing layer as specific printing for displaying, for example, a product name, a design, an explanation of contents, a barcode, etc. on one surface 3a (inner surface side of the cylindrical label). 6 is provided. As the label 1, in order to make it easy to recycle the container body 10, a heat-shrinkable shrink label, an elastic stretchable stretch label, or the like is used so that the container body 10 can be easily removed from the container body 10 by cutting. A non-adhesive label (attached to the container body without using an adhesive) is generally employed.

  As the film 3 for shrink labels, a heat-shrinkable film having a thickness of 20 μm to 80 μm made of polyester resin, polystyrene resin, polypropylene resin, polyvinyl chloride or the like is used.

  Moreover, as the film 3 for stretch labels, the film which consists of a polyethylene-type resin etc. which has elastic elasticity is used.

  A concealing printing layer 7 is provided on a part or all of the surface of the label printing layer 6. The concealment print layer 7 is composed of, for example, a silver print layer and a white print layer applied to the surface of the silver print layer, and an arbitrary display 9 is provided on the surface of the white print layer. Arbitrary display 9 cannot be seen from the 3b side (other surface side). The concealing print layer 7 may be only the white print layer or only the silver print, and may be omitted if the display 9 is not substantially visible from the outer surface 3b side of the label.

  The display 9 is printed with letters, numbers, symbols, symbols, etc. (for example, a predetermined lottery or application display) by a known non-impact printer (for example, a printer such as an ink jet system, a laser beam system, or an electrostatic recording system). It has been done. In particular, an ink jet printer is preferable, and the display color is not particularly limited, and can be one color such as black, red, blue, green, or multiple colors in which each color is arbitrarily combined. The ink jet printer is, for example, a printer that employs a non-contact type printing method in which ink flies in the air, and is preferably capable of high-speed printing.

  Further, an identification display 9a for preventing forgery (authentication identification) of the label is written on the inner surface of the label other than the concealing printing layer 7 or the concealing printing layer 7 with invisible ink. The invisible ink is, for example, an ink that is normally substantially invisible, but can be visually observed by irradiating special light such as ultraviolet irradiation. The identification display 9a is preferably printed by the same ink jet printer as described above.

  Next, the manufacturing method of the said cylindrical label is demonstrated. First, a wide transparent film is fed out from a long roll, and specific printing consisting of product display such as beverage is continuously printed by a known printing machine such as letterpress printing or screen printing, gravure printing, and the printed transparent Rewind the film. In such a printing process, the product display such as beverages is subjected to the same printing for all the products (for example, each label portion is subjected to the same printing such as the product display regardless of winning or losing). ). In this printing process, it is preferable to perform the concealment printing as necessary.

  Further, the wide transparent film is cut into a predetermined width (a wide transparent film is cut into a plurality of strips so as to correspond to a predetermined length in the circumferential direction of the container body). The transparent film is rewound and slit by a slitter, and then wound into a roll.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 3, the film 3 is fed out from the long body 15 of a roll-shaped transparent film slit to a predetermined width, and each label (cutting) is applied to the concealment printing layer 7 on the printing layer 6 side by the ink jet printer 17. Arbitrary display 9 is given for each portion divided by the line L). For example, printing is performed at a rate of one hit display per 50 lost displays. Since the ink jet printer 17 is controlled in advance by a program setting, the loss display or the hit display is appropriately printed at high speed and surely continuously at each label position. It is also possible to change the occurrence rate (frequency) of the hit display or to mix several types of hit displays. Furthermore, it is possible to print an ID number (a different number for each label) for applying through the telephone or the Internet. When the identification display 9a is written together, another ink jet printer (not shown) separate from the above is provided. The identification display 9a is preferably printed by an ink jet printer. However, when the same display is made on each label, it can be printed in advance by gravure printing or the like.

  An adhesive nozzle 20 is provided at a downstream position of the ink jet printer 17, and the adhesive nozzle 20 applies an adhesive to the one end edge 12 a of the transparent film 3 to be fed, and both end edges 12 a. , 12b are laminated and bonded (joined), and again rolled into a long cylindrical body (roll product) 15a. And the cylindrical label 1 in which the different displays 9 are mixed can be supplied to the mounting process on the container body 10 with one roll product 15a.

  In the process of attaching the label to the container body, when the cylindrical label is a shrink label, the roll product 15a is set on the shrink labeler, the roll product 15a is fed out in a flat state, and the position of the cutting line L is cut with a cutter. A single cylindrical label 1 is formed by (dividing). Each label 1 is opened and inserted into a container main body 10 filled with empty or contents, and then the label 1 inserted into the container main body 10 is contracted by a heating means such as hot air or a steam heater and attached. Thus, a labeled container is manufactured. Further, when the cylindrical label 1 is a stretch label, the heating step is not necessary because the label is expanded in the radial direction, expanded, inserted into the container body, and attached by elastic contraction force.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the label 1 attached to the container body 10 is positioned on the back side, which is the inner surface of the label, as shown in FIG. Since the printing is performed, the printing cannot be visually observed (viewed through the film and the concealing printing layer) from the outer surface side of the label. Further, when the container body 10 is a transparent bottle, the bottle body 10 is filled with a solution in a dark color or a solution of a color approximate to the printing color of the display 9 (for example, orange juice for yellow printing). It is impossible to visually observe an arbitrary display 9 inside the label through the transparent part of the bottle or label from the front side. In addition, when printing can be visually observed through the transparent bottle and the contents, the printed portion may be covered with a peelable tack label.

  Then, after purchasing the product, the purchaser removes the label 1 from the container body after consuming the internal solution or by separating or pulling off the cylindrical label 1 to remove the label 1 from the container body. The displayed arbitrary display 9 can be visually observed. For this reason, the purchaser can easily confirm a display such as “win” or “lost”. In addition, when a plurality of labels are applied together so that the display 9 has a predetermined score such as “1” to “5”, the respective display can be easily confirmed. It is possible to apply based on each rule.

  Further, when the label 1 collected at the time of exchanging with the prize is irradiated with special light such as ultraviolet rays, the label 1 is printed with an identification display 9a by invisible ink. As a result, an arbitrary display 9 and the authenticity of the label 1 can be confirmed, and illegal prize exchange and application can be prevented.

  In the embodiment described above, the case where the container main body is a round bottle has been described, but the container main body may have any shape such as a square bottle. The material of the container body is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a PET bottle (PET bottle), a glass bottle, a metal can, a plastic cup, and a paper cup.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the tubular label 1 can be provided with a perforation 23 for breaking along the entire length of the label.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, a transparent window portion 25 may be provided at a portion facing the display 9 of the cylindrical label 1 so that the display 9 can be seen. Since the label printing layer 6 is provided in a portion other than the window portion 25, it is impossible to visually check the display 9 through this portion. In addition, by filling the transparent container body 10 with a liquid such as a dark beverage, the display 9 cannot be viewed from the window 25 with the liquid. However, when the internal volume of the liquid decreases to be equal to or lower than the height of the window portion 25, the display 9 located on the opposite side of the container 10 can be confirmed through the window portion 25 and the transparent container 10.
