DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mail form such as a three-fold crimped postcard or an NIP seal envelope form, and more particularly to a mail form that can reliably prevent blocking during storage.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art NIP seal envelope forms and pressure-bonded postcards are frequently used as conventional mail forms.

[0003] The above NIP seal envelope form is a three-fold envelope which is formed by folding an e-mail sheet to reduce the surrounding area and send it as an envelope. Since the secret information can be printed and processed directly into an envelope form, Since printing can be performed by a high-speed printer such as NIP, efficient processing can be performed.

[0004] In the case of a pressure-bonded postcard, the mail sheet is folded in two or three, and the size of the postcard is reduced.
Print and print confidential information on the inside, press it with heat,
By forming a postcard, the recipient can know the confidential information by peeling off the pressure-bonded postcard and opening it.

[0005] The configuration of a conventional pressure-bonded postcard will be described with reference to FIG. 5. A mail sheet 1 made of continuous paper is composed of a horizontal perforation 2 and a vertical perforation 3, each of which has a postcard size 4. This is a three-fold postcard, and the address and the destination information are printed and printed on the left partition piece 4a in the figure, and the secret information is printed and printed on the center and right partition pieces 4b and 4c. The pieces 4a, 4b, 4c
It is folded back alternately and adhesively polymerized.

Therefore, a pressure-sensitive adhesive 5 is applied to the periphery of the folded portion, and this adhesive 5 does not cause blocking when the mail sheet 1 is folded and stored in the state shown in FIG. Thus, the adhesive 5 is applied in a pattern that avoids contact between the adhesives 5.

[0007]

However, even if the adhesive 5 is applied in a pattern that avoids contact between the adhesives 5 in order to prevent blocking, when used as a pressure-bonded postcard, the partition 4b , 4c, it is pointed out that a blocking phenomenon occurs due to the weight of the form when the form for mail is folded and stored due to the application of a weak adhesive paste to the entire surface.

Similarly, in the case of a three-fold envelope, the adhesive is applied in a predetermined pattern so as to avoid contact between the adhesives. Since a system adhesive is often used, even when the adhesive is in contact with the paper surface, blocking easily occurs.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and relates to a mail form such as a three-fold envelope or a pressure-bonded postcard, and provides a mail form in which blocking during paper storage is reliably prevented. It is intended to be.

[0010]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a mail sheet having a partition piece that can be folded back through a perforation, and the partition pieces are polymerized and bonded. In a mail form in which a pressure-sensitive adhesive is applied to the periphery of the partition piece and the adhesive layer is formed in a pattern that avoids polymerization of the adhesive layers during storage of the form in a folded state, When folded and stored, cover the surface of the opposing surface that polymerizes with the adhesive layer.
It is characterized in that a non-adhesive printing layer is formed.

[0011]

As is apparent from the above configuration, the mail form according to the present invention has a non-coated surface on the surface opposite to the adhesive layer applied in a predetermined pattern to the periphery of the section of the mail sheet. Since the printing layer that functions as the adhesive layer is coated, even when the weak adhesive is applied to the entire surface of the partition piece, as in the usage form as a pressure postcard, blocking can be reliably prevented. .

[0012]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a mail form according to the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a mail form used as a postcard, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a main part of the mail form, and FIG. 3 is an explanatory view showing a storage state of the mail form shown in FIG. FIG. 4 is a plan view showing another embodiment of the mail form according to the present invention.

In FIG. 1, a mail form 10 has feed holes 21 formed at predetermined pitch intervals on both sides of a mail sheet 20. In order to form a postcard in the form of a final product, horizontal perforations 22, By the vertical perforation 23,
A partition piece 30 of a postcard size is formed.

More specifically, each of the partition pieces 30 is divided into three sections from the left side in the figure, such as an address, a destination information writing area 31, and secret information writing areas 32 and 33, and the secret information writing areas 32 and 33 are The inner surfaces are folded back and joined.

An adhesive layer 40 to which a pressure-sensitive adhesive is applied is formed on the periphery of the secret information writing areas 32 and 33, and the secret information writing area 3 is formed.
A weak adhesive layer 50 is formed over the entire inner surfaces of the two and 33 so as to be peelable.

By the way, when the mail form 10 is folded and stored in a book shape, the address, destination information writing area 31, and secret information writing area 32 constituting the cut sheet piece 30 are formed by the weight of the mail form 10 by its own weight. , And 33, the adhesive layers 40 are coated so as to be alternately arranged as shown in the figure in order to prevent the single-sheet forms from adhering to each other and blocking. Blocking is inevitable due to contact between the adhesive layers 40 and 50.

Therefore, in the present invention, it is possible to avoid the blocking by coating the colored or colorless printing layer 60 so as to cover the surface of the opposing surface that overlaps with the adhesive layer 40 during folding storage. It is a feature.

Therefore, since the non-adhesive print layer 60 is coated on the surface of the opposite surface that is polymerized with the adhesive layer 40, the weak adhesive layer 50 is formed on the surface of the mail paper 20.
Is applied, the surface of the opposing surface that polymerizes with the adhesive layer 40 is covered with the non-adhesive printing layer 60, so that there is no blocking even when they are stacked.

Next, a brief description will be given of the operation of manufacturing a pressure-bonded postcard from the mail form 10. First, the address and address information are printed and printed in the address and address information recording area 31 of the mail form 10, and the center and the address are printed. After printing and printing the confidential information in the confidential information entry areas 32 and 33 on the right side, the confidential information is cut on a per-sheet basis based on the horizontal perforations 22 and then folded back on the vertical perforations 23.
A pressure-bonded postcard is manufactured by folding back and bonding to a postcard size via an adhesive 40 applied to the peripheral edges of the secret information writing areas 32 and 33.

FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the mail form 10 according to the present invention. In this embodiment, non-adhesive printing is performed only on the surface of the opposing portion of the adhesive layer 40 which is adhered by pressure. Since the layer 60 is coated, the present embodiment has an advantage that the paint of the print layer 60 can be saved.

In the above-described embodiment, the present invention is applied to a crimped postcard as a secret postcard. However, the present invention can also be applied to a trifold envelope, and the adhesive used for the trifold envelope is usually synthetic rubber. Although a system adhesive is used, the adhesive is easily adhered to the paper surface. Therefore, if the adhesive is coated with a printing layer, blocking can be effectively prevented even when applied to a three-fold envelope.

[0023]

As described above, according to the mail form according to the present invention, since the surface of the weak adhesive layer is covered with the non-adhesive printing layer, the weak adhesive is used. Prevents the blocking phenomenon as much as possible when stacked, regardless of the specifications of the postcards applied to the entire surface of the paper or the specifications of three-fold envelopes that use a synthetic rubber-based adhesive that easily causes blocking. It has the effect of being able to.

Further, since the printing layer covering the surface of the weak adhesive layer can be easily coated along the paper feeding direction, it can be easily implemented and has an effect of being highly practical.
