Description

  The present invention relates to a label attached to a product or the like. More specifically, the present invention relates to a label having a patterned metal deposition layer.

  A label material comprising a transparent plastic film substrate, a diffraction grating pattern, a metal vapor deposition layer, and an adhesive layer, and a forgery prevention label material having a printing pattern in which the metal vapor deposition layer is melted has been proposed. The anti-counterfeit label material is manufactured by a method in which a metal vapor-deposited layer is melted in a non-contact manner by irradiation with laser light from the transparent film substrate side (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  Further, a seal composed of a transparent resin film, a metal film, an adhesive, and release paper, in which a part of the metal film is removed and a predetermined pattern is formed, has been proposed. The seal is manufactured by a method in which the metal film is partially removed from the transparent resin film surface side by irradiation with laser light to form a pattern (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

  Furthermore, it is a read label for an information recording medium comprising a protective film layer, a metal film layer, and an adhesive layer, wherein the metal film layer is provided with a transpiration removing portion from which a part of the metal film layer is removed by transpiration. Has been proposed. The read label is manufactured by a method in which a part of the metal film layer is removed by evaporation from the protective film layer side by laser light irradiation (see, for example, Patent Document 3).

  The above-described label material has a use as a security label indicating information such as authenticity and management of the label itself and an object to be pasted. However, since the above-mentioned label material is a transparent substrate, the pattern of the metal film layer is exposed on the surface. Since the label material has a diffraction grating pattern forming layer in contact with the metal film layer, and the hologram presented by the label is used as a means for preventing forgery, the metal film pattern is inevitably manifested. In Patent Document 2, it has been proposed to add a colored resin film to the back side of the metal film pattern in order to obtain a color appearance in the appearance of the seal, but the colored resin film does not conceal the metal film pattern. . Further, in the read label, the presence or absence of a metal film layer is provided for the purpose of improving the contrast when reading the label information, and the metal film pattern is apparent.

  These labels on which the metal film pattern is manifested facilitate unauthorized duplication and lack aesthetic appearance.

  Moreover, these label materials etc. remove a metal film by locally heating the metal film which exists in the closed space where the upper surface and the lower surface were surrounded by the layer formation. The metal evaporation gas generated by heating and the gas generated from the layers above and below cause the label material to swell, and the label material remains uneven even after the metal film pattern processing is completed. In addition, since the heating is in a closed space, and the heat rise around the minute points intended to be heated is unavoidable, the edge of the metal film pattern becomes dull. For this reason, in the patterning of a metal film, it is not possible to create fine characters and figures.

  The decorative vapor deposition label according to the present invention has a decoration layer positioned on the upper surface of the pattern vapor deposition layer together with other configurations, so that the reflected light from the label surface is superior to the transmitted light from the back surface. If the pattern of the vapor deposition layer is hidden and the transmitted light from the back surface of the label is more dominant than the reflected light from the front surface, the pattern of the vapor deposition layer becomes apparent. For this reason, if it uses for a security label, the forgery prevention effect will increase.

  The display method of the cosmetic container according to the present invention is a display method that enhances the three-dimensional feeling of the label and enhances its attractiveness.

FIG. 1 is an explanatory view of a decorative vapor deposition label, in which (a) is a cross-sectional view and (b) is a plan view. FIG. 2 is an explanatory view of an intermediate product or the like for illustrating a method for producing a decorative vapor deposition label. FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of a label pasting additional decoration device. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the transfer material. FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram of the first cosmetic container display method. FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram of the second cosmetic container display method.

  Hereinafter, with reference to drawings, the decoration vapor deposition label concerning the Example of this invention, its manufacturing method, the label sticking decoration apparatus, and the display method of the cosmetic container which stuck the decoration vapor deposition label are further demonstrated. In the drawings referred to in this specification, in order to facilitate the understanding of the present invention, some of the components are schematically illustrated in an exaggerated manner. For this reason, the dimension, ratio, etc. between components may differ from a real thing. Further, the dimensions, materials, shapes, relative positions, etc. of the members and parts described in the embodiments of the present invention are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention to those unless otherwise specified. It is merely an illustrative example.

  With reference to FIG. 1, in the decorative vapor deposition label 1, a pattern vapor deposition layer 14 and a decorative layer 16 are sequentially laminated on one surface of a paper substrate 11.

  In the decorative vapor deposition label 1, the upper and lower sides of the laminated state and the upper and lower sides of the cross section have the decorative layer 16 side up and the paper base material 11 side down. In FIG. 1A, the upper side is indicated by an arrow 71, and the lower side is indicated by an arrow 72.

  The paper base 11 usually has a base smoothing layer 12 on the upper surface. This is because the surface of the paper substrate 11 is smoothed to facilitate the formation of the vapor deposition layer 14 that is a metal film. The pattern vapor deposition layer 14 has a protective layer 15 on its upper surface. The protective layer 15 prevents the vapor deposition layer 14 from being altered, scratched or dropped off.

  The pattern vapor deposition layer 14 includes a vapor deposition layer surface 22 and a paper base material exposed portion 19. The paper base material exposed portion 19 is the surface of the paper base material 11 in the defective portion 18 where the vapor deposition layer is defective.

  The decorative layer 16 is on the pattern vapor deposition layer 14 and covers the vapor deposition layer surface 22 and the paper substrate exposed portion 19. When the pattern vapor deposition layer 14 has the protective layer 15, the decorative layer 16 covers the vapor deposition layer surface 22 with the protective layer 15 interposed therebetween.

  The pattern vapor deposition layer 14 forms a pattern composed of the vapor deposition layer surface 22 and the defect portion 18.

  The pattern of the pattern vapor deposition layer 14 is various patterns without particular limitation. Examples of patterns include characters, figures, one-dimensional barcodes, two-dimensional barcodes, other figures created according to certain display rules, RFID antenna patterns, and the like.

  There is no limitation on the pattern formation method. An example of the pattern forming method is a method of partially removing the vapor deposition layer of the solid vapor deposition paper. The vapor deposition layer may be removed by local heating using electromagnetic radiation, a physical method, or the like. The electromagnetic radiation is preferably laser light.

  A preferable method for forming the pattern is to partially remove the vapor deposition layer of the solid vapor deposition paper by irradiation with laser light. This is because a fine pattern can be formed in a short time.

  The pattern of the pattern deposition layer 14 can be displayed and read using visible light. Moreover, the pattern of the pattern vapor deposition layer 14 can also be read using other electromagnetic waves.

  In the plan view of the decorative vapor deposition label 1 shown in FIG. 1B, the missing portion 18 is indicated by a broken line. The pattern vapor deposition layer 14 of the decorative vapor deposition label 1 has three rectangular patterns.

  The decorative layer 16 is a layer that has been decorated. The decorative layer 16 is a layer having colorless and transparent, colored and transparent, white opaque, colored opaque, and a pattern. Among these, a layer that absorbs or reflects visible light is preferable. This is because the pattern of the pattern deposition layer 14 is concealed or the appearance of the pattern is changed.

  Examples of the layer that absorbs visible light include a black layer, a gray layer, a colored transparent layer, a colored opaque layer, and a layer having a pattern. Examples of the layer that reflects visible light include a white layer, a metal film layer (including a metal vapor deposition layer), and a metallic layer.

  A white decorative layer is even more preferable. This is because white plays a particularly important role when characters and figures are displayed on the decorative layer positioned above the pattern deposition layer. First, white is placed at these positions (whitening), and a character or the like is placed on the white to make the character clear. This is because the white layer plays an important role.

  Here, the pattern means a diagram, color coding or blurring. An example of a diagram is a character or a figure.

  In the top view of the decorative vapor deposition label 1 shown in FIG.1 (b), the figure 20 and the character 21 which are given to the decoration layer are shown with the continuous line. The figure 20 is an illustration of the sun, and the letters 21 are 4 letters and 1 number.

  The paper base 11 is paper manufactured using pulp that is commonly used in the paper manufacturing industry, such as chemical pulp, mechanical pulp, and used paper pulp. The paper base 11 retains the shape of the metal vapor deposition layer, and thus retains the shape of the decorative vapor deposition label. Moreover, when observing a decorative vapor deposition label from the back surface, the paper base material 11 conceals the pattern of a pattern vapor deposition layer.

The thickness of the paper substrate is 10 μm (micrometer) or more and 400 μm (micrometer) or less. The basis weight of the paper substrate is not particularly limited, and is, for example, paper of 30 g / m ² or more and 250 g / m ² or less. As the paper substrate, coated paper, fine paper, medium quality paper, bleached kraft paper, unbleached kraft paper, single gloss unbleached kraft paper, liner paper, glassine paper, and the like can be used.

  The base smooth layer is formed by coating a resin coating material. As a coating method, a gravure coater, a gravure offset coater, a blade coater, a knife coater, a die coater or the like is used. As the resin, a polyester, acrylic, urethane, epoxy, vinyl, chlorinated rubber, nitrified cotton, olefin resin binder, etc., mixed with additives such as silica if necessary It is done. There may be a clay coating layer in front of the resin coating layer.

  Examples of the metal of the vapor deposition layer include aluminum, nickel, tin, bismuth, indium, cadmium, and lead. Among these, aluminum is preferable because it can form a cheap and bright and clear layer. The vapor deposition layer can be formed by a vacuum vapor deposition method, a sputtering method, or the like. The thickness of the vapor deposition layer is 20 nm (nanometer) or more and 100 nm (nanometer) or less. If the thickness is within this range, a sufficient contrast can be obtained between the vapor deposition layer surface 22 and the exposed paper base 19 with respect to light reflection and transmission. In addition, if the thickness is within this range, the economy is good, and furthermore, the generation of voids in the decorative layer 16 due to the defective portion 18 is prevented.

  The protective layer is formed by coating a resin coating material. As a coating method, a gravure coater, a gravure offset coater, a blade coater, a knife coater, a die coater or the like is used. As the resin, a polyester, acrylic, urethane, epoxy, vinyl, chlorinated rubber, nitrified cotton, olefin resin binder, etc., mixed with additives such as silica if necessary It is done. There may be a clay coating layer in front of the resin coating layer.

  The decorative layer 16 is made of polyester resin, acrylic resin, vinyl resin, nitrified cotton resin, urethane resin, chlorinated rubber resin, and other resin binders containing a small amount of colorants such as ordinary pigments and dyes. However, there is no particular limitation. Further, it may be made of a metal film such as a metal such as aluminum, nickel, gold, platinum, chromium, iron, copper, tin, indium, silver, titanium, lead, zinc, or silicon oxide, or an alloy or compound thereof. The metal film includes a deposited metal film.

  In order to make the decorative layer 16, printing may be performed on the pattern vapor deposition layer 14, and a transfer material may be transferred. For printing, inkjet, gravure, screen, flexo, offset, toner printing and the like can be used.

  The decorative vapor deposition label 1 is affixed to a container, a box, a packaging, or the like with the lower surface of the paper substrate 11 facing the surface of an object to be pasted. The sticking means is a pressure-sensitive adhesive, an adhesive, a wet glue, or the like. Moreover, you may attach the decorative vapor deposition label 1 to goods etc. as a tag. Examples of the attaching means include a thread, a string, a wire, and a resin tape. The decorative vapor deposition label in the present invention includes a tag.

  When information is embedded as a pattern shape in the pattern vapor deposition layer 14 of the decorative vapor deposition label 1, the light transmission pattern may be read, or the reflection pattern may be read to decode the information. A translucent pattern irradiates light from the back surface of the decorative vapor deposition label 1, and reads transmitted light from the surface. In this case, the pattern vapor deposition layer 14 becomes a light shielding layer.

  The reflection pattern irradiates light from the surface of the decorative vapor deposition label 1 and reads the reflected light from the surface. In this case, the pattern vapor deposition layer 14 becomes a reflective layer.

  The manufacturing method of the heat vapor deposition label concerning this invention is demonstrated. FIG. 2 illustrates a label after each step of the manufacturing method is performed, (a-1) is a cross-sectional view of the solid vapor-deposited paper 41, (a-2) is a plan view of the solid vapor-deposited paper 41, (B-1) is a sectional view of the pattern deposition paper 42, (b-2) is a plan view of the pattern deposition paper 42, (c-1) is a sectional view of the decorative deposition label 1, and (c-2) is 1 is a plan view of a decorative vapor deposition label 1. FIG.

  First, the process of manufacturing the solid deposition paper 41 is performed. On one side of the paper substrate 11, a solid vapor deposition layer 13 in which a metal vapor deposition layer is positioned on one solid surface is formed. In this way, the solid deposition paper 41 is manufactured. The base smoothing layer 12 is usually present on the surface of the paper substrate 11 on the solid vapor deposition layer forming side (the upper surface in FIG. 2A-1). A protective layer 15 is usually formed on the upper surface of the solid vapor deposition layer 13. The material, forming method, preferred dimensions, and the like of each constituent element (paper base material 11, base smoothing layer 12, protective layer 15) of the solid vapor deposition paper 41 are the respective configurations of the decorative vapor deposition label 1 described with reference to FIG. Same as element characteristics. Various characteristics of the solid vapor deposition layer 13 are the same as those of the pattern vapor deposition layer 14.

  Subsequently, the patterned vapor deposition paper 42 is manufactured by irradiating the solid vapor deposition paper 41 with the laser beam 17. The laser beam 17 is irradiated from the solid vapor deposition layer adhering surface side of the solid vapor deposition paper. The minute area of the vapor deposition layer is heated by irradiating with a laser beam, and the deposit in the minute area is evaporated. Since the laser beam is directly applied to the vapor deposition layer, the energy of the laser beam is transmitted to the vapor deposition layer. Since the solid deposition layer is exposed to the surrounding space, the heat generated by the laser beam is used only for evaporation of the deposit in a minute region, and the surrounding deposit is kept unchanged. Therefore, the edge of the pattern becomes sharp.

  Further, since the solid deposition layer is exposed to the surrounding space, the vaporized metal gas or the like is released to the surrounding space and is not left on the pattern deposition paper. Accordingly, there is no unevenness such as the pattern deposition paper, and hence the decorative deposition label, swells.

  The solid deposition layer is located on the paper base material and is held on the paper base material to maintain its shape. For this reason, pattern processing by a laser beam can be performed from the observation side (upper side of the label cross section) of the decorative vapor deposition label. Since the pattern can be processed into the same planar shape as the observation pattern, there is a feature that the pattern recognition at the time of processing is easy.

As the laser beam 17, a CO ₂ laser, a fiber laser, a YVO 4 laser, a YAG laser, or the like can be used. Among these, a CO ₂ laser and a fiber laser are preferable. The wavelength of each laser is as follows.
CO2 laser: wavelength 10.6 μm, 10.2 μm, 9.3 μm
YVO4 laser: wavelength 1064nm
YAG laser: wavelength 1064nm
Fiber laser: wavelength 1090nm, 1060nm
SHG laser: wavelength 532 nm

  When processing is performed with the laser beam 17, the defective portion 18 is formed in the solid vapor deposition layer 13, thereby forming the pattern vapor deposition layer 14, and the pattern vapor deposition paper 42 is manufactured. In the defect portion 18, the deposited material disappears, and the protective layer 15 in the region disappears. In the defect portion 18, the deposited material and the protective layer disappear, the paper base material is exposed, and the paper base material exposure portion 19 is formed.

  Next, the decorative vapor deposition label 1 is manufactured by positioning the decorative layer 16 on the pattern vapor deposition paper 42 from above. The decorative layer 16 covers the vapor deposition layer surface 22 and the paper substrate exposed portion 19 in the pattern vapor deposition layer 14. In other words, the decorative layer 16 covers the entire surface of the pattern deposition layer 14.

  The decorative layer 16 is a layer having colorless and transparent, colored and transparent, white opaque, colored opaque, and a pattern. Among these, a layer that absorbs or reflects laser light is preferable. This is because a decorative vapor deposition label having these decorative layers cannot be manufactured by a conventional method for manufacturing a vapor deposition layer using laser light with a transparent resin layer interposed, which is a conventional label material manufacturing method.

  Examples of the layer that absorbs laser light include a black layer, a gray layer, a colored transparent layer, a colored opaque layer, and a layer having a pattern. Examples of the layer that reflects the laser light include a white layer, a metal film layer (including a metal vapor deposition layer), and a metallic layer.

  A white decorative layer is even more preferable. This is because white plays a particularly important role when characters and figures are displayed on the decorative layer positioned above the pattern deposition layer. First, white is placed at these positions (whitening), and a character or the like is placed on the white to make the character clear. This is because the white layer plays an important role.

  Other characteristics of the decorative layer are the same as those of the decorative vapor deposition label described with reference to FIG.

  With reference to FIG. 3, the label pasting addition decoration apparatus 6 is demonstrated.

  The label pasting device 6 includes a label pasting device 23, a laser device 27, a decorating device 31, and a transport device 30, and the transport device 30 sequentially transfers the container 36 to the label pasting device 23, the laser device 27, and the decorating device 30. It is transported and delivered.

  The conveyance device 30 may be constituted by, for example, a belt conveyor and a robot arm, or may be constituted only by a robot arm.

  The label sticking device 23 sticks the solid vapor deposition label 37 to the surface of the container 36. The solid vapor deposition label 37 is a label made of solid vapor deposition paper in which a metal vapor deposition layer is placed on one side of a paper base material. The solid deposition label 37 is affixed with the surface of the paper substrate facing the surface of the container 36. That is, the solid vapor deposition label 37 exposes the vapor deposition layer in a state of being attached to the container 36.

The container to which the label is attached is moved by the transport device 30 and positioned at the laser irradiation position of the laser device 27. The laser device 27 is, for example, a CO ₂ laser device. The laser device 27 irradiates the solid vapor deposition layer of the solid vapor deposition label on the container with the laser beam 17.

  The laser beam irradiation is performed by scanning the laser beam, and the solid deposition layer is turned into a pattern deposition layer. Since the scanning of the laser beam may be performed by changing the relative position of the container and the laser beam, either the container or the laser beam may be moved, or both the container and the laser beam may be moved. Good.

  The container to which the label having the pattern vapor deposition layer is attached is moved by the conveying device 30 and is positioned on the container rotating jig 25 of the decorating device 31. In the illustrated embodiment, the decoration device 31 is a transfer device. The transfer device 31, which is a decorating device, unwinds the transfer material 51 from the unwinding roll 32 and collects it on the winding roll 33 via the outer periphery of the pressure heating roll 34.

  The transfer material 51 is a transfer material generally used in the field of article decoration and printing.

  Referring to FIG. 4, transfer material 51 is obtained by sequentially positioning transfer film 53 and adhesive layer 54 on one surface of base sheet 52.

  The transfer material 51 positioned with the adhesive layer 54 facing the label side between the label having the pattern vapor deposition layer and the pressure heat roll receives the pressure and heat from the pressure heat roll, and transfers the transfer film 53 to the pattern vapor deposition layer of the label. Transcript onto. The said transfer is performed in the aspect which coat | covers the vapor deposition layer surface and paper base-material exposed part in a pattern vapor deposition layer with a transfer film (namely, decoration layer). The transfer material debris that has passed through the outer periphery of the pressure heating roll 34 and becomes only the base sheet is taken up by the take-up roll 33.

  The label attached to the container in this way becomes a decorative vapor deposition label.

  The transfer material is not limited to the transfer film, but may be a transfer member in which the base sheet and the transfer film are transferred to the label side.

  The decoration layer which the decoration device 31 attaches to the label is the same as the decoration layer 16 in the decoration vapor deposition label 1 described with reference to FIG. The decorative layer is preferably a layer that absorbs or reflects visible light, and the white decorative layer is more preferable. The material and other properties are the same.

  A container 61 (hereinafter referred to as a decorative container) to which a decorative vapor deposition label is attached is taken out from the container rotating jig 25 by the transport device 30.

  The label pasting additional decoration device 6 may have a data processing device 29. The data processing device 29 generates and / or receives data from other devices, generates a specific pattern corresponding to the data, and sends the specific pattern to the laser device. The laser device scans the irradiation laser in accordance with the specific pattern, and the solid deposition layer is used as the pattern deposition layer of the specific pattern.

  For example, the data processing device 29 receives data of individual container contents and converts the data into a bar code figure. Then, the bar code graphic data is sent to the laser device 27, and the bar code graphic is written in the pattern deposition layer by scanning with the laser beam 17.

  The decoration device 31 may be an ink jet printing device or other printing device. Among the printing apparatuses, an inkjet printing apparatus is preferable. This is because a printing plate is not required and it is suitable for variable printing.

  The labeling additional decoration device 6 is incorporated into a container packing line for beverages, cosmetics, and medicines, for example.

  The decorative vapor deposition label 1 is a unique design having a three-dimensional effect by overlapping the design of the decorative layer and the extraction pattern derived from the pattern vapor deposition layer when there is illumination from the front side and illumination from the back side. Presents. The design also has unexpectedness.

  FIG. 5 is an explanatory view of one display method of the cosmetic container 61. The decorative container 61 is obtained by attaching the decorative vapor deposition label 1 to a transparent or translucent container 62. The transparency or translucency of the container 62 is a property including the contents in the container.

  The illumination light 64 is positioned on the side of the container. The side surface is a portion where the surface of the container is exposed. In other words, the side surface is a side surface that is not covered with the decorative vapor deposition label 1 or other deposits.

  The illumination light 64 may be a light source disposed on the side surface of the container, and the light source is located at a distance from the light source and enters the side surface of the container via an optical path. Also good. The optical path may be constituted by, for example, a reflecting mirror or a lens, or may be an optical fiber.

  The illumination light 64 goes straight and scatters and refracts to illuminate the back surface of the decorative vapor deposition label 1.

  The side surface position where the illumination light 64 is positioned may be a position directly facing the back surface of the decorative vapor deposition label 1 or a position having an angle with the back surface (referred to as an offset position). The illumination light 64 that has entered the offset position reaches the back surface of the decorative vapor deposition label 1 by being scattered or refracted.

  The cosmetic container 61 is illuminated not only by the illumination light 64 but also by environmental illumination such as sunlight or light from an electric lamp attached to the ceiling of the room.

  The decorative vapor deposition label 1 presents the design of the decorative layer by environmental illumination, and in addition, the extraction pattern by the pattern vapor deposition layer derived from the illumination light 64 is overlapped and observed.

  FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram of another display method for the cosmetic container 61. The decorative container 61 is obtained by attaching the decorative vapor deposition label 1 to a transparent or translucent container 63. The transparency or translucency of the container 63 is a property including the contents in the container.

  The illumination light 64 is positioned on the bottom of the container. The bottom surface is a portion where the surface of the container is exposed. In other words, the bottom surface is a bottom surface that is not covered with deposits.

  The illumination light 65 enters from the bottom surface of the container, changes its direction, and reaches the back surface of the decorative vapor deposition label 1. The direction of the illumination light 65 is changed by, for example, reflection / scattering refraction on the container wall surface. If the surface of the container 63 is uneven, for example, if there is cloudy glass processing, the scattered light increases and the light reaching the back surface of the decorative vapor deposition label 1 increases.

  The illumination light 65 may be one in which a light source is arranged on the bottom surface of the container, and the light source is at a remote position and enters the bottom surface of the container via an optical path from the light source to the bottom surface of the container. Also good. The optical path may be constituted by, for example, a reflecting mirror or a lens, or may be an optical fiber.

  The cosmetic container 61 is illuminated not only by the illumination light 65 but also by environmental illumination.

  The decorative vapor deposition label 1 exhibits the design of the decorative layer by environmental illumination, and in addition, the extraction pattern by the pattern vapor deposition layer derived from the illumination light 65 overlaps and is observed.
