DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a label to be attached to an article and to perform classification and management of the article.
The present invention relates to a label sheet on which a plurality of unused labels are attached and a method for manufacturing the same, in order to improve productivity and simplify distribution and sales.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A so-called label having information written on the front surface and an adhesive applied on the entire back surface is used for classification and management by sticking it on an industrial product, a book, a foodstuff, or the like. Recently, there is a label that employs a barcode as information written on the surface, and is widely used in various fields. For example, in collection management of a library, a label describing a predetermined classification item is attached to the spine of a book. In the manufacture and sale of such labels, they are often used in large quantities at one time, so they are rarely manufactured and traded on their own, and labels with multiple unused labels affixed to a band-shaped backing sheet It is distributed as paper. FIG. 5 shows a conventional label sheet.

[0003] A label sheet 100 is a sheet in which a plurality of unused labels 102 are adhered to a belt-shaped mount 101 via an adhesive. Since the mount 101 is also a release paper for the label 102, its surface is subjected to silicon processing or the like, and is processed so that the label 102 can be peeled off relatively easily. Labels 10 are provided on both sides of the mount 101.
A so-called sprocket hole 104 for efficiently performing printing on two surfaces by a printer or the like is provided. The label 102 has desired characters and graphics printed on the front surface according to the purpose of use, and the entire back surface is coated with an adhesive. FIG. 6 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of a place where the label 102 is attached in FIG. 5, and shows an aspect in which the label 102 is attached to the mount 101 via the adhesive 103. When using the label paper 100, the user slightly bends the mount 101 as needed, picks up and separates the individual labels 102, affixes them to an article, and uses them.

Next, the conventional label paper 100 is generally manufactured through the steps shown in FIG. The label paper 100 is manufactured from a raw material 105 including a base paper 101 and a label base paper 102a entirely adhered thereto via an adhesive (FIG. 7A). In this case, the mount 101 is the same as that described above, but the label base paper 102a is a single sheet on which no individual label 102 is formed.

Next, a cut 106 is made only in the label base paper 102a along a desired label shape.
(B)). The cuts 106 are generally formed by die roll, flat punching, flat punching, half cutting, or the like. After that, cut 1 with the label 102 left.
06, unnecessary label base paper 1 on the outer periphery of the label 102
07 is peeled off from the mount 101 (FIG. 7C), and the label paper 100 is completed (FIG. 7D). Note that the label 10
Necessary printing on the two surfaces can be performed before or after any process, but is generally performed at the time of the process of FIG.

[0006]

Since a label attached to an article is often used for a long period of time, in order to improve the durability of the label, the adhesive strength of an adhesive applied to the back surface of the label is enhanced. It is necessary to plan. However, since the adhesive on the back surface of the label is provided over the entire surface, if the adhesive force is strengthened, it becomes difficult for the label to be peeled off from the backing paper, and the peeling operation is extremely complicated for a user using the adhesive. Also, if the label is forcibly peeled off and scratched from the periphery of the label, the label may be damaged. In order to solve this, a non-sticking part without applying an adhesive is provided at one corner of the back of the label, and a label paper which facilitates peeling of the label from the backing sheet has been proposed. When attached to a later product, the label is easily peeled off from the non-adhered part, which not only does not endure long-term use, but also the provision of the non-adhered part complicates the label paper manufacturing process. Let
At the same time, there was a problem that the cost was high.

[0007] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a label provided with a strong adhesive for enabling long-term use,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a label sheet and a method for manufacturing the label sheet, which can easily be peeled off from the mount and individual labels and can be manufactured at low cost.

[0008]

According to the present invention, there is provided a label sheet comprising a backing sheet and labels respectively attached to the backing sheet via an adhesive applied to the entire backing sheet. A thin film attached to the mount so that the adhesive is applied and individually covering the labels, and a position excluding a sticking position of the label, and traversing at least one edge of each of the thin films. And a notch provided on the backing sheet to provide a label sheet.

[0009] Since the mount functions not only as a base for attaching a plurality of labels but also as a release paper, its surface is subjected to silicon processing or the like. Sprocket holes may be provided at both ends of the backing sheet, so that the label to be stuck can be efficiently printed by a printer or the like. The label is the same as an existing label made of paper, a resin film, or the like, and has a desired shape, surface printing, or the like according to the purpose of use. The thin film is a transparent or translucent film that allows characters and graphics printed on the label to be clearly recognized when the label is coated, and for example, a polypropylene film, a polyester film, or the like can be applied. When concealing information on the label surface using a bar code or the like, an opaque film that transmits only infrared light may be used.

[0010] The thin film is individually adhered to each of the labels, and has a size such that it completely covers the label and at least a part thereof is directly adhered to the mount. is there. In addition, the thin film is attached to the label integrally by an adhesive applied to the back surface thereof,
The thin film is used after being peeled off from the backing paper, and also protects the label surface from water, dirt and the like when the article is attached.

As the adhesive, an acrylic adhesive or the like can be used, and the same adhesive may be used for both the label and the thin film, but the adhesive applied when the thin film is transparent or opaque. Is required to be transparent or translucent. Further, according to the label paper of the present invention, since the laminate of the mount, the label and the thin film can be easily peeled off, it is possible to use a label having a particularly strong adhesive force.

[0012] To cross the inside of the edge means that the cut provided in the backing sheet should be made over or around the periphery of the thin film over the region where the thin film is adhered. It can also be located above or across the periphery. The edge does not mean, in a narrow sense, a peripheral edge of the thin film, but means a region of the thin film that includes at least the peripheral edge but is larger than a fingertip.

In the label paper of the present invention, when peeling off the attached label from the backing paper, the user rolls up the backing paper at the place where the cut is provided with a fingertip or the like, thereby turning up the cut paper. The edge portion of the thin film located at the applied position is peeled off from the backing paper. At this point,
Since the peeling from the mount is only at the edge of the thin film, even when the thin film is stuck to the mount with a strong adhesive, the edge can be easily peeled. The user picks up the peeled edge, and peels the entire thin film from the backing. At this time, since the label is attached to the thin film, the label is peeled off from the backing sheet integrally with the thin film.

Further, according to the present invention, there is provided a method for producing label paper from a backing sheet and a label base paper adhered to the backing sheet via an adhesive, comprising: a) a cut for forming a label having a predetermined shape; And b) before or after step a) printing characters and graphics on the surface of the label; c) eliminating the need for the label along the cuts in the label base paper. (D) a step of peeling off a portion; (d) a step of attaching a thin film base paper having an adhesive applied to the entire back surface to the mount; (e) making a cut in the thin film base paper so as to cover each of the labels; And f) between the step c) and the step d), excluding the place where the label is stuck, and cutting at least one inner edge of each of the thin films. On the mount Method of manufacturing a label sheet comprising a step is provided.

As a method for making the cut, a well-known method using a die roll or the like can be applied, and the cut can be easily made without a special device.

[0016]

[Examples]
Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a label sheet A according to the present invention. The label paper A includes a mount 1, a plurality of unused labels 2 attached to the mount 1 via an adhesive 6a, and a transparent film 3 attached to the mount 1 and the label 2 via an adhesive 6b. And a cut 4. FIG. 2 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the sticking portion of the label 2 in FIG.

The backing paper 1 has a surface on which silicon processing for reducing the adhesive force of the adhesives 6a and 6b is applied, and sprocket holes 5 are provided at both ends thereof, and the surface of the label 2 is printed by a printer or the like. This is for convenience. The label 2 is a substantially rectangular piece of paper having a printed figure 2a on its front surface, and the entire back surface thereof has an adhesive 6 as shown in FIG.
a. The label 2 is attached to the mount 1 with the adhesive 6a, and after peeling off from the mount 1, the adhesive 6
a can be attached to the article.

The transparent film 3 is a substantially rectangular film that is slightly larger than the label 2 and has an entire back surface as shown in FIG.
As shown in the figure, a transparent adhesive 6b is applied. With the adhesive 6b, the transparent film 3 is adhered to the label 2, and the mount 1
In use, it is also attached to an article. Therefore, the label 2 and the transparent film 3 are always integrated laminates. The notch 4 provided only in the mount 1 passes inside the both edges 3 a of the transparent film 3 from one peripheral edge of the transparent film 3 in a curved manner to the other peripheral edge, and passes through the outside of the bonding area of the transparent film 3. It was made to go through.
In this embodiment, the notch 4 is a complete notch, but it is not always necessary, and a perforation or the like may be used if it can be cut easily.

In order to peel off the integrated label 2 and the transparent film 3 from the label paper A, as shown by the center label 2 and the like in FIG. This is done by pushing up with a fingertip. When the mount 1a is pushed up, only the edge 3a of the transparent film 3 is adhered to the mount 1. The edge 3a has only an area that can be pinched with a finger, and the adhesive force of the adhesive 6b is insignificant. Therefore, when the mount 1a is pushed up and this portion is separated from the mount 1a, There is nothing to resist.

After the mount 1a is pushed up and the edge 3a is peeled off from the mount 1, the user can pick up the edge 3a with a finger and peel off the integrated label 2 and the whole transparent film 3 from the mount 1. . Therefore, even if the adhesives 6a and 6b having strong adhesive force are adopted, the label 2
And it can peel easily without damaging the transparent film 3.

The label paper A can be manufactured through the following steps shown in FIG.

The steps for forming the individual labels 2 on the backing paper 1 are the same as those shown in FIGS.

FIGS. 1 and 3 show the state shown in FIG.
Are arranged at predetermined locations around each label 2 (FIG. 4E). The notch 4 can be easily formed by a so-called die roll having a blade attached to the surface of the roll. By the time the cuts 4 are provided, characters / graphics are printed on the surface of the label 2 as necessary. Next, the base paper 3b of the transparent film 3 is attached to the entire surface of the mount 1 (FIG. 4 (f)). Thereafter, in the same manner as the method shown in FIG.
(FIG. 4 (g)). The cut 7 can be easily formed by the die roll described above. Thereafter, the unnecessary thin film base paper 3c is peeled from the backing sheet 1 while leaving the transparent film 3 (FIG. 4 (h)), and the label paper A is completed (FIG. 4).
(I)).

[0024]

As described above, according to the label paper of the present invention, even a label using a strong adhesive can be easily peeled off from the backing paper. The peeling is to peel up only the edge of the thin film from the mount by pushing up the mount at the location where the cut is made, and then to pinch the edge with a finger to completely peel off, so that the label may be damaged. Nothing to do. Further, in manufacturing the label paper of the present invention, the cut is made immediately before the thin film is attached to the mount, and it is possible to manufacture the label paper at a low cost without requiring any special device or the like. .
