Description

  The present invention relates to a label without a release mount, that is, a label without a mount, and particularly relates to a label roll formed as a coreless roll paper without a core, a method for manufacturing the label roll, and a method for using the label roll.

  In recent years, non-mounting labels without mounts have been used for the purpose of saving resources and reducing garbage. A label without a mount is a laminated label made of a long base material having a release agent layer on one side and an adhesive layer on the other side. It is a label that does not provide a mount (referred to as a separator or liner) at the portion where the release agent layer and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer overlap when rolled up to form a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. The label without a mount has an advantage that the mount does not occur as dust after the label is used.

  The label without mount is printed on a long base material in advance and the surface on which the release agent layer is formed is used for display. Thermal paper (thermal color paper) is used as the long base material. There are ones that can be used for thermal printing with a thermal printer, and ones that enable thermal transfer printing on the surface of the release agent layer using a dedicated thermal transfer ribbon. Since these non-mounting labels are all continuous in a series of long strips, when used, they are separated by perforations (cut lines) formed in advance on the laminated label, or one unit with a cutter or the like provided in the printer. Separate and use every time.

  Then, in order to wind up the conventional label without a mount in the form of a roll at the time of manufacture, the adhesive layer on the back surface of the start of the laminated label is directly attached to the outer surface of a cylindrical core made of paper or synthetic resin, and the core Is rotated to wind up the laminated label. However, after using a non-mounting label with a core, the core becomes garbage.

  Further, Patent Document 1 provides a coreless mountless label in which a release mount is temporarily attached to an adhesive layer over at least the first turn on the inner winding start side of a rolled mountless label. The coreless mountless label proposed in Patent Document 1 has a release mount instead of a core, but it is necessary to prepare an appropriate release mount for each desired width of the label without a mount. In addition, inventory management of such peeling mounts must be maintained. Further, after using the label without coreless mount, the release mount corresponding to the inner peripheral length remains as dust.

  Patent Document 2 discloses a coreless mountless label in which a folded portion having a length of at least one inner circumference is provided at the inner winding start end portion of the wound label without a mount, and wound around the folded portion as a start. I will provide a. The label without a mount can be printed by the printer even on the folded portion located on the innermost periphery, but the folded portion on which the printing has been performed cannot be used as a label because adhesives are bonded together. In addition, since the thickness of the folded portion at the winding start end of the label without a mount is at least twice that of a normal label without a mount, when printing on such a label without a mount with a printer, Driving may be difficult. In addition, the adhesive may stick out to the label printing surface without the mount when forming the folded portion, and the sticking adhesive sticks to the thermal head when printing with the printer, and the print quality on the printer may deteriorate. .

  Therefore, the present inventor tried to produce a coreless mountless label without the temporarily mounted release mount proposed in Patent Document 1 and without the folded portion of the winding start end portion proposed in Patent Document 2. The coreless mountless label has been found to have problems. Before the laminated label is wound, it is necessary to prepare the laminated label by cutting the laminated label material into an appropriate length. At this time, the adhesive of the adhesive layer adheres to the cut surface of the laminated label. Sometimes. When the laminated label in such a state is wound without using a core, the adhesive on the cut surface may stick to the adhesive layer. That is, the innermost peripheral portion of the laminated label may be in a state where a ring is formed. If the wound laminated label in this state is installed in the printer and is unwound to the innermost part, the innermost part that forms a ring is pinched by the printer thermal head and the platen roller. Can be folded in half with the agent layer inside. If it does so, since it becomes the same shape as the folding | turning part of the label without a mount which has a folding | turning part in the winding start end part demonstrated by the patent document 2 demonstrated previously, the problem concerned in the label without a mount of patent document 2 is not solved. .

  In addition, since the innermost inner circumference of the coreless mountless label is always exposed to the outside air, foreign matter such as dust is likely to adhere to the adhesive layer, and the label quality is guaranteed by reducing the adhesive strength. There is a problem that you can not.

  An embodiment of the present invention will be described. The first embodiment is a label roll in which a label continuous body having a release agent layer on one surface of a long base material and an adhesive layer on the other surface is wound in a roll shape, The inner peripheral part defines a space at the winding center of the label roll, and when the label continuous body is transported and pulled out from the label roll, the printing stop is stopped before the innermost peripheral part is transported. The mark is overlapped with the innermost peripheral end of the label continuous body, and the winding innermost peripheral portion of the label continuous body is finished and the position at the outermost peripheral end of the label continuous body is closer to the start of the second winding. It is a label roll characterized by being provided. That is, a label roll formed by winding a continuous label body having a release agent layer, an adhesive layer, and a long base material disposed between the release agent layer and the adhesive layer. And a printing stop mark is provided on the label continuous body located on the side of the winding end portion of the label continuous body from the position at which the winding first round ends from the winding start end of the label continuous body. It is said label roll.

  The label continuum is a laminate mainly having a three-layer structure having a release agent layer on one surface of the elongated substrate and an adhesive layer on the other surface. The base material used here is usually a material that can withstand applications such as product labels and price tags, and is preferably a material that has strength, printing suitability by a printer, and transport suitability. When the thermal coloring method is adopted as the printing method for the label continuum, general-purpose thermal paper (thermal paper) based on paper can be used as the base material. As a base material, synthetic thermal paper based on synthetic paper mainly composed of polypropylene (hereinafter referred to as “PP”) or PET thermal based on polyethylene terephthalate (hereinafter referred to as “PET”) film. Paper can also be used. In addition to the thermal coloring method, a thermal transfer method can also be adopted as a printing method. In this case, for example, a paper base such as high-quality paper, coated paper, art paper, PET, polyethylene (hereinafter referred to as “PE”), PP, polystyrene (hereinafter referred to as “PS”) or the like is used as a material. 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 with paper can be used as a base material. In addition, inkjet paper can also be used as a substrate. The base material has a long shape, and the size can be appropriately selected according to the use as a label.

  The release agent layer provided on one surface of the long substrate is provided so as not to stick to the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer that comes into contact when the label continuous body is wound. The release agent layer is obtained by applying a release agent on one surface of the elongated substrate to form a layer. As the release agent, a general resin release agent can be used. An example of such a release agent is a silicone release agent. In addition, olefin polymers or copolymer resins such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and polybutylene, polystyrene, polyvinyl butyral, polyvinyl acetate, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, acrylic resins, thermoplastic resins such as cellulose resin, and These mixtures can be appropriately selected from the group consisting of thermosetting resins such as polyurethane.

It is desirable to work.

  The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer provided on the other surface of the long substrate is subjected to printing necessary for the label roll of the embodiment, and a piece of a label cut to a required size is to be adhered, such as a product label. Is provided for pasting. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is obtained by applying a pressure-sensitive adhesive on the other surface of the elongated base material to form a layer. As the pressure-sensitive adhesive, a general resin pressure-sensitive adhesive can be used. As the pressure-sensitive adhesive, any material can be used as long as it can adhere paper or films to an object to be bonded. Examples of the material of the adhesive include synthetic rubber-based, natural rubber-based, acrylic resin-based, polyvinyl ether resin-based, urethane resin-based, and silicone resin-based adhesives. An emulsion type in which these pressure-sensitive adhesives are dispersed in water, a solvent type in which the pressure-sensitive adhesive is dissolved in a solvent, or a hot-melt type pressure-sensitive adhesive can be applied. The adhesive strength of the adhesive is arbitrary, but it is preferable to use a permanent adhesive type adhesive called so-called strong adhesion. Although the application amount and application thickness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive are not particularly limited, it is generally desirable to apply the adhesive so as to have a thickness of 5 to 50 μm, preferably 10 to 40 μm, and more preferably 15 to 25 μm.

  The label roll of the embodiment preferably has a shape in which the long continuous label is wound with the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer on the inside and the release agent layer on the outside. When winding the label continuous body, the core is not used, and the mount is not used on the innermost periphery.

  The label roll according to the embodiment will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the label roll 10 according to the embodiment has a continuous label body 11 having a release agent layer 13 on one surface of a long substrate 12 and an adhesive layer 14 on the other surface. Has a roll shape wound so as to form a space in the winding center portion (inside the ring forming the innermost circumference). In FIG. 1, the label continuous body 11 is wound with the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 14 side inward and the label continuous body 11 side with the release agent layer 13 side outward.

  In the label roll of the embodiment, a print stop mark is placed on the label continuous body located on the winding end portion side of the label continuous body from the position at which the first round of winding ends from the winding start end portion of the label continuous body. It is characterized by having. The print stop mark is not shown in FIG. See FIGS. 3-5 for a detailed description of the print stop mark 15. Here, the print stop mark is a mark necessary for the label sensor provided in the printer for printing on the label roll of the embodiment to detect the position where printing on the label continuous body should be stopped.

  FIG. 2 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of an inner peripheral portion of the label roll according to the embodiment. In FIG. 2, the outer side of the label roll 10 is a release agent layer 13, and the inner side is an adhesive layer 14. Here, the elongated base material 12 constituting the label continuous body 11 is omitted. The label continuous body 11 is wound from the winding start end E of the label continuous body, the winding first round label continuous body r1, the winding second round label continuous body r2, the winding third round label continuous body r3, winding The label continuum 11 is wound in such a manner that the fourth continuous week label continuous body r4 and the wound fifth lap label continuous body r5. The label roll according to the embodiment is placed on the label continuum located on the winding end portion side of the label continuum from the position where the winding first circumference ends from the winding start end E of the label continuum 11. It has a print stop mark (the print stop mark is not shown in FIG. 2).

  FIG. 3 is an external view of a label continuum obtained by developing the label roll of the embodiment as seen from the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer side. The label continuous body 11 includes a wound first circumference label continuous body r1 having a length L1 in the longitudinal direction, a wound second circumference label continuous body r2 having a length L2, and a wound third circumference label having a length L3. A continuous body r3, a wound fourth-round label continuous body r4 of length L4, a wound fifth-round label continuous body r5 of length L5,... A wound n-th round label continuous body of length Ln It is composed of rn and these are connected continuously. The length L1 is equal to the circumferential length of the innermost circumference of the label roll 10 (see FIG. 1). For example, L1 of a label roll having an inner diameter of 1 centimeter is slightly more than about 3 centimeters, and the label has an inner diameter of 2 centimeters. The L1 of the roll is about 6.3 centimeters. L2 is longer than L1, L3 is longer than L2, L4 is longer than L3, L5 is longer than L4,... Ln is longer than L (n−1). The print stop mark 15 is counted from the winding start end E of the label continuum 11 and the label positioned on the winding end portion side of the label continuum from the position where the winding first circumference label continuum r1 ends. It is provided on the continuum. For example, the winding second round label continuum r2, the winding third round label continuum r3, the winding fourth round label continuum r4, or the winding fifth round label continuum r5. It is preferable that it is provided on the label continuous body 11 located in any of the above. In FIG. 3, the print stop mark 15 is provided on the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of the wound second circumferential label continuous body r2. If the printing stop mark 15 is provided in the adhesive layer of the winding second-round label continuous body r2, the printer label sensor detects the portion and printing by the printer is stopped. The label continuum r1 (that is, the innermost circumference) is not used. In order to minimize the length of the label continuum that is not used, it is very preferable to provide the print stop mark 15 in the portion of the wound second round label continuum. If a print stop mark is detected during normal printing, a program is installed in the printer to perform reprinting based on data that could not be printed due to printing stop on the label continuum of the newly replaced label roll. Has been.

  The print stop mark can be provided by transfer onto the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. The print stop mark can also be affixed on the adhesive layer. The print stop mark may be any mark as long as the label sensor of the printer can detect a trigger to stop printing by the printer. If the label sensor of the printer is of a type that emits infrared rays and measures the reflected light from the surface of the label continuum, the print stop mark can be formed of carbon. The print stop mark can be formed by a hole. At this time, one hole is sufficient, but a plurality of holes can be arranged in a predetermined shape to form a print stop mark. It is preferable that the print stop mark has a shape that is long in the longitudinal direction of the label continuous body.

  FIG. 4 is a schematic drawing of a cross-sectional view taken along line I-II in FIG. In FIG. 4, the label continuous body 11 includes a long base material 12 sandwiched between a release agent layer 13 and an adhesive layer 14. On the surface of the long base 12 on the side where the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 14 is provided, print starting marks 16 are printed at predetermined distances in the longitudinal direction of the long base 12. A release agent layer 13 is provided on the surface of the long substrate 12 on which the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 14 is not provided, and constitutes a continuous label body 11. As described in FIG. 3, the label continuous body 11 includes the wound first round label continuous body r1 having a length L1, the wound second round label continuous body r2 having a length L2, and the winding first having a length L3. 3rd round label continuous body r3, winding 4th round label continuous body r4 of length L4, winding 5th round label continuous body r5 of length L5,... Nth winding of length Ln It is composed of an eye label continuum rn. The length L1 is equal to the circumferential length of the innermost circumference of the label roll 10 (see FIG. 1). The print stop mark 15 is counted from the winding start end E of the label continuous body 11, and the label continuous body located on the winding end portion side of the label continuous body from the position where the winding first circumference r1 ends. It is provided above. For example, the winding second round label continuum r2, the winding third round label continuum r3, the winding fourth round label continuum r4, or the winding fifth round label continuum r5. It is preferable that it is provided on the label continuous body 11 located in any of the above. In FIG. 4, the print stop mark 15 is provided on the adhesive layer of the wound second circumferential label continuous body r2.

  Here, the print origin mark may be any mark as long as the label sensor of the printer can detect the trigger for starting printing by the printer. When the label sensor of the printer is of a type that emits infrared rays and measures the reflected light from the surface of the label continuum, the print origin mark can be formed of carbon or ink. The length of one print starting mark (length in the longitudinal direction of the label continuous body) is shorter than the length of the print stop mark provided on the adhesive layer. Since the printing start mark is provided at predetermined distances in the longitudinal direction of the continuous strip of long strips, the distance between one printing starting mark and one printing starting mark is the length of one label piece. This is almost equivalent to this. Therefore, the distance between the print start marks can be appropriately determined according to the desired label size. The printing origin mark can be provided by a method such as printing or transfer on the surface of the long base material on the side where the adhesive layer is provided, but depending on the type of printer to be used, the release base layer of the long base material is provided. It may be on the surface provided. A printing origin mark can be directly printed on a long substrate, and an adhesive layer or a release agent layer can be further provided thereon. Note that the shape of the print start mark is preferably different from that of the print stop mark.

  Next, a procedure for winding the label continuous body to produce the label roll of the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 5 (a) to 5 (c) show a label continuous body 11 obtained by subdividing a label continuous raw material (one larger in size than a long continuous label body) into a desired size by using a small winding machine or the like. It shows a series of steps of winding using. In FIGS. 5A to 5C, the print start mark 16 is omitted. FIG. 5A shows a label continuum 11 obtained by subdividing, and is drawn so that the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 14 is located on the front side and the release agent layer 13 is located on the back side. As shown in FIG. 5B, the label continuous body 11 is first wound once. For example, when producing a label roll having an inner diameter of 1 cm, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer side is attached to a winding shaft (not shown) having a diameter of 1 cm and wound once. Thereafter, a print stop mark 15 is provided on the label continuum r2 located on the second turn of the winding (FIG. 5C). After the printing stop mark 15 is provided on the label continuum r2 located on the second winding, the label continuum 11 is further wound a predetermined number of times to produce the label roll of the embodiment. In addition, after printing the printing starting mark 16, the label continuous raw material can apply the release agent layer 13 to one side of the long base material and the adhesive layer 14 to the other side.

  FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of a developed label roll in which a continuous label body having a folded portion at the winding start end is wound. In FIG. 6, the label continuous body 11 is folded with the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 14 inside so that the folding length of the winding start end portion is L1. At this time, L1 corresponds to the length of the label continuous body r1 located in the first winding of the label roll, that is, the innermost circumference of the label roll. A printing stop mark 15 is provided on the label continuum r2 located on the second turn of the winding. The print stop mark 15 can be formed on the release agent layer 13 side of the label continuous body 11. Preferably, after the printing stop mark 15 is formed on the long substrate 12, the release agent layer 13 is applied.

  FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of a printer that can be used for printing on the label roll of the embodiment. The printer 101 mainly includes a main body case 102, an opening / closing cover 103, and a front cover 104. The label roll 10 can be accommodated in the label roll accommodating portion 105 by opening the opening / closing cover 103. While the label continuous body 11 passes between the platen roller 107 and the thermal head 108, printing is performed on the release layer 13. A label sensor 106 is built in the front end of the opening / closing cover 103. When the label continuum 11 passes through the label sensor 106, if the print start mark is detected, printing by the thermal head 108 is started at a predetermined timing, and if the print stop mark is detected, printing by the thermal head 108 is stopped. . The printer 101 is battery-driven and includes a battery housing portion 111. Further, a control board unit 112 for controlling the operation of the printer 101 such as the operation of the label sensor 106 and the printing start / stop of the thermal head 108 is provided.

  Printing can be performed on the release agent layer of the label roll 10 of the embodiment using the printer 101. The label roll 10 is installed in the label roll storage unit 105 in the printer 101. The label continuous body 11 passes under the label sensor 106 provided in the vicinity of the label continuous body outlet. The label sensor 106 emits infrared rays and detects the reflected light. When the print start mark 16 portion provided on the label continuum 11 passes under the label sensor 106, the intensity of the infrared reflected light changes, and it is detected that this point is the print start point. Then, printing on the release agent layer 13 of the continuous label 11 between the platen roller 107 and the thermal head 108 is started. After the predetermined printing necessary for the label is completed, the label continuous body 11 having a necessary length is cut to form a single printed label. A piece of printed label is affixed to the desired article. As described above, when the printing start, printing, printing end, label continuous body cutting, and pasting steps are repeated, the remaining number of turns of the label roll 10 decreases. Thus, when the number of windings of the label roll 10 becomes only one turn (that is, only the innermost peripheral part), the print stop mark 15 part provided at the part passes under the label sensor 106. The print stop mark 15 is larger in size than the print start mark 16, and the time during which the intensity of the reflected infrared light emitted from the label sensor 106 changes is longer. The mark 15 is recognized. Thus, the operation of the printer is stopped and printing on the label continuous body 11 is stopped. Since printing stops at the position of the print stop mark 15, the innermost peripheral portion of the label roll 10 remains inside the printer 101. Even if the innermost peripheral portion of the label roll 10 forms a ring or is bent, it does not enter between the platen roller 107 and the thermal head 108. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the platen roller 107 and the thermal head 108 from being contaminated by the adhesive that may adhere to the bent label continuous body 11. When the label sensor 106 senses the print stop mark 15 and the printer stops operating normally, dust or the like may adhere to the innermost periphery of the label continuum 11 where the adhesive strength may be reduced. Since printing is not performed, it is not necessary to produce a low-quality label. Since no printing error is recorded and the innermost peripheral portion of the label continuous body 11 remaining in the printer is replaced with a new label roll, the next printing can be started immediately.

  The label roll of this embodiment has a structure in which a label continuous body is wound, and has a print stop mark at the winding start end. For this reason, it is possible to normally stop printing by the printer without using the innermost peripheral portion of the label roll. As a result, it is possible to prevent the innermost peripheral portion of the label roll that may be contaminated with an adhesive or dust from reaching the platen roller, so that the platen roller can be prevented from being contaminated. A printer that has stopped printing normally upon detection of a printing stop mark can immediately resume printing by replenishing a new label roll.
