DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for producing labels and stickers capable of clearly expressing the effect of embossing.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventionally known label or sticker manufacturing technique is to print a pattern on one side of a transparent film, vacuum-deposit a metal on the transparent film, and leave the metal deposited layer on the transparent film. (For example, the printed part of the design)
Is provided with a coating layer of an alkali-resistant substance such as medium, and then, by washing the metal deposition layer with an alkaline solution, the metal deposition layer of the other portions is removed except for the above-mentioned coating layer portion, and then the adhesive is removed. There is a method of coating.

[0003]

In a conventional manufacturing method in which a metal deposition layer is left only in a necessary portion, a label or a sticker manufactured has a flat design and the like. However, there is a problem in that the glossiness is poor even with the provision of the gloss, and the luxury is inferior.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a seemingly luxurious label or sticker capable of clearly expressing the effect of embossing.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, a method of manufacturing a label / sticker according to the present invention is characterized in that a metal is vapor-deposited on one side of a transparent substrate film on which a pattern is printed, and the metal is vapor-deposited. In the layer, a coating layer made of an alkali-resistant substance is provided on a portion where the metal deposition layer is desired to remain, and then the metal deposition layer is removed from the other portions except for the coating layer portion by washing the metal deposition layer side with an alkali solution. To remove
Next, after the above-mentioned coating layer side is subjected to micro-etching, an adhesive is coated on the micro-etched surface, and a separator is applied on the adhesive coating layer.

In the labels and stickers manufactured as described above, the fine dents formed by the micro-etching process are filled with an adhesive, and the processed surface is flat, while only the portion where the metal deposition layer remains remains. Emboss effect can be clearly expressed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The manufacturing method of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. As shown in FIG. 2, a design printing layer 2 is provided on one side (inner surface) of a transparent base film 1, and the base film 1 includes the design printing layer 2 on one side thereof, such as aluminum. A metal is vacuum-deposited, and a coating layer 4 made of an alkali-resistant substance such as medium is provided on a portion of the metal-deposited layer 3 where the metal-deposited layer is desired to be left (in the illustrated case, the printed layer 2 includes a pattern). .

After that, the metal deposition layer 3 is treated with an alkaline solution.
By washing the side, the metal deposition layer other than the portion of the coating layer 4 was removed, and then the coating layer 4 side was micro-etched 5 (see FIG. 3).
As shown in the figure, an adhesive is coated on the side of the micro-etching process 5, and a separator 7 such as a release paper is applied on the adhesive coating layer 6 to carry out the present invention. In the drawing, reference numeral 3a denotes a remaining portion of the metal deposition portion, and reference numeral 8 denotes a cut for peeling (semi-cutting processing) provided up to a position immediately before the separator 7.

In the label or the sticker manufactured as described above, the micro-etched portion 5 on one surface of the base film is filled with an adhesive so that the emboss disappears. For example, the metal deposition layer remains on the transparent film. Only the part (including the printed part of the design) is embossed, and is excellent in color and can further enhance the commercial value.

The film, printing ink, alkali-resistant substance, pressure-sensitive adhesive, separator and the like used in the present production method can be made of the same materials as ordinary labels and stickers, and therefore detailed description thereof will be omitted. Further, if a transparent adhesive is used for forming the adhesive coating layer 6, a portion other than the remaining portion 3a of the metal deposition layer becomes transparent, so that a label or a sticker that can see through the ground on the side of the adherend can be provided. In the illustrated manufacturing example, the design printing layer 2 is formed on the inner surface side of the base film 1, but may be provided on the outer surface side of the base film 1.

[0011]

The present invention is as described above, and has the advantage that only a pattern with excellent glossiness can be displayed on the adherend side.
It is possible to produce labels and stickers that can express a clear embossing effect only on the metal-deposited surface of the fantastic etching.
