DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a printed printed matter which can be sent without enclosing an envelope of a printed matter such as a catalog or a pamphlet folded at least in a booklet or by machine folding.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, from the viewpoint of reducing the labor of enclosing in an envelope when sending a catalog or the like and saving resources, a printed matter which can be directly sealed and sent as it is has been proposed. ing. Examples of such printed materials include, for example, JP-A-48-37266,
Nos. 24317 and 62-126974 are known.

In these publications, one of the front covers of the printed matter is integrally formed to be wider in the lateral direction than the other, and a folded part is provided, and the small part of the printed matter is sealed by the folded part. In addition, destination information such as the address of the destination as the recipient, and sending type information consisting of characters such as "post-payment mail" and "send catalog by home delivery" are directly described on the cover.

However, if the cover and the like are formed integrally in a wide width in the horizontal direction, the size of the cover becomes a special order product outside the standard dimensions such as the A plate, the B plate or the chrysanthemum plate, and the work such as printing and cutting becomes expensive. Although it has been proposed for a long time, it has not been put to practical use yet. In particular, just blocking the edge of the printed matter
A leaflet or the like cannot be inserted inside the printed matter. In this case, if folds are provided on the upper and lower sides of the printed matter to prevent the leaflets from falling off, the dimensions also become non-standard, resulting in high costs. On the other hand, in the case of fixed-size mail, it is necessary that the top and bottom of the printed matter as well as the small one are closed.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of such a conventional situation, it is an object of the present invention to provide an inexpensive manufacturing method using ordinary standard printed matter and to send the same without using an envelope or the like.
An object of the present invention is to provide a printed matter which can be easily opened even when the upper and lower sides of the printed matter are closed as well as the small one.

[0006]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a first feature of a printed matter sent according to the present invention is that a printed matter body folded at least in two and a sealing piece for sealing a small edge of the printed matter body are provided. The sealing piece has a band-shaped tape main body straddling the front and back of the cover of the printed matter main body along the fore edge, and an adhesive material for releasably bonding the tape main body to the cover. And opposing portions projecting further from an upper end and a lower end of the printed matter main body on the upper and lower sides of the sealing piece, respectively, are joined to each other.

According to the first feature, since the upper and lower portions of the sealing piece such as the sealing tape are closed, the leaflets and the like sandwiched between the printed matter main body fall out not only in the fore-edge direction but also in the vertical direction of the printed matter main body. Absent. In addition, the pasting process can be performed very easily with a reasonable structure, and the removal is very easy.

[0008] A second feature of the sent printed matter according to the present invention is that the opposing portions on the upper and lower sides of the sealing piece also have the adhesive, and the opposing portions are joined to each other by the adhesive. .

[0009]

[0010] A third feature of the sent printed matter according to the present invention is that the opposing portions are welded to each other by a heat sealer.

[0011]

Further, a fourth feature of the printed printed matter according to the present invention resides in that a transmission type information section is provided on the sealing piece.

[0013]

As described above, according to the above features of the sent printed matter according to the present invention, since a separate sealing piece is used, it is particularly necessary to provide the cover with a wrap or the like for sealing or preventing the flyer from falling off. And can be manufactured inexpensively using ordinary standard printed matter. At the time of opening, it is possible to remove the sealing piece of the printed matter body which hinders the recovery of the used paper. You can now meet your requirements. After peeling, the aesthetic appearance of the printed matter is not impaired. As a result, the sending of printed materials without the use of envelopes can be promoted for the first time as a real problem in the existing facilities of the printing and paper industry, and can greatly contribute to environmental protection by promoting the recycling of waste paper and saving paper resources.

In addition, since the sending type information section is provided on a sealing piece separate from the printed matter such as the catalog body, the sending means and the like are determined separately from the printing plan of the printed matter body even though the envelope is not used. Now you can. As a result, it is possible to secure a time margin for ordering / ordering the printed matter main body, and it is also possible to send out the common printed matter main body by various different sending means such as mailing and home delivery.

Finally, the possibility of another embodiment of the present invention will be enumerated. Of course, it is possible to carry out the above embodiments and the following other embodiments in combination with each other.

In the first embodiment, the upper and lower portions of the sealing tape 10 are joined by heat sealing. The present invention is not limited to this. By forming the width Wc of the first adhesive portion 10c of the first sealing tape 10 wider than the width Wd of the second adhesive portion 10d, the second sealing portion is formed shorter than the first sealing portion, The upper and lower ends 7b and 7b of the catalog main body 2 are positioned above and below the sealing tape 10.
Each overhang may be further extended, and these overhangs may be bent toward the back cover 3b. In this case, since the first sealing portion 11 is wider than the second sealing portion 12 and can be attached to the back cover 3b by the first adhesive portion 10c, the upper end 7a and the lower end 7b can also be sealed.

In each of the above embodiments, the means for sealing the catalog main body 2 stapled by the stapler has been described. However, the catalog main body 2 may be a flat stitch or a perfect stapled one. In addition, the printed matter of the present invention includes leaflets, roll-folded, double-folded catalogs, pamphlets, and the like that are folded in two, four, or eight. The edge in the case of these four folds and the like corresponds to the part corresponding to the fold at the time of the last folding, and corresponds to the back 6.
Is defined as a portion corresponding to the fore edge 5 at the end opposite to the portion opposite to.

In the embodiment other than the second embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the destination information 8b is provided directly or indirectly on the first sealing tape 10, but the destination information 8b is May be provided directly on the front cover. However, in the case where the sealed piece is configured to be removable as described above, if the destination information 8b is provided on the sealed piece, there is an advantage that the destination information 8b can be removed with the removal of the sealed piece.

Unlike the above embodiments, the sealing pieces 10, 3
It is also possible to make the adhesive part between the 0 and the like and the cover 3 inseparable. However, in this case, since the sealing piece is partially left on the cover 3 as the sealing piece is opened and the appearance is easily impaired, the cover 3 can be removed so that the sealing piece can be removed as in the above embodiments.
It is desirable to adhere to.

In the above embodiments, when the sealing tape 10 is adhered to the cover 3, a so-called weakly-adhesive adhesive material having low adhesiveness is used, but the contact portions of the sealing tape 10 and the cover 3 are made of resin. The contact portions may be detachably bonded by thermocompression bonding. In this case, the adhesive may have lost its tackiness before and after the sealing tape 10 is peeled off. However, re-adhesion after peeling, prevention of adhesion of dust and the like to the portion of the sealing tape 10 facing the fore-edge, adhesion to the fore-edge The function and effect of preventing contamination by transfer of the material and facilitating the attachment are not exhibited. Further, these bondings may be performed in a planar shape as described above, or may be performed in a scattered point shape.

Although the present invention has been described as a sent print,
The present invention can also be implemented for sealing printed materials other than sending. In particular, it is also suitable for applications such as preventing browsing of books and attaching a folding appendix.
