Description

[0001]
[Industrial application fields]
The present invention relates to an information laminated body for communication (hereinafter referred to as an information communication body) in place of a conventional postcard, a reciprocating postcard, a sealed letter, and the like. Specifically, the present invention has a plurality of information display surfaces inside to make it possible to gather more information and to display displayed information, although it is apparently a single-leaf postcard or a reciprocating postcard. It relates to an information communication body that can be concealed and mailed.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In general, an "information communication body" divides a single mount into a predetermined number of information display surfaces and folds them, or makes separate mounts face each other, and bond the combined information display surfaces so that they can be peeled off (hereinafter referred to as "the information communication body"). , Which is called pseudo-adhesion), so that the displayed information can be concealed and mailed. The information includes information that does not require secrecy (for example, advertising phrases and explanations addressed to an unspecified number, other ruled lines, frames, patterns, figures, etc.) and information that is individual and secrecy.
[0003]
As a method of pseudo-adhesion of the backing sheet, a pseudo-adhesive laminate in which films are peelably laminated is sandwiched between opposing display surfaces of the backing sheet , or a film layer is formed after forming a film layer on the opposing display surface of the backing sheet. A method of facing each other and heating and pressurizing and pseudo-bonding is conceivable.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, according to the method of sandwiching the pseudo-adhesive laminate as in the former, since different types of films with different physical properties are laminated in a plurality of layers, they can be reliably peeled off from the interface between the films, and extremely good pseudo-adhesion can be obtained. However, the cost of raw materials and processes is high, and complicated operations such as alignment with the mount surface are required at the time of manufacture. Moreover, in the method of forming the film layer as in the latter, the disadvantages caused by the raw material, work process, alignment, etc. of the former method are eliminated, but the opposite mount surface becomes a homogeneous film layer. When the adhesive is formed, a part that is always melted and integrated is generated, and a problem of poor opening due to blocking occurs.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above problem , an information communication body according to the present invention is formed by applying a resin layer that solidifies under certain conditions as a first layer on a mount, and the softening and melting temperature is the first layer on the first layer. A lower resin layer is formed as a second layer by coating , the second layers of the mount on which the first layer and the second layer are formed are overlapped with each other, and the first layer and the second layer are not assimilated The interface between the two layers is maintained and the second layers are melted and assimilated so that the boundary surfaces between the two layers disappear and are integrated by heating and pressurizing, and the first layer and the melted and assimilated second layer upon opening It is characterized by being separated and developed by peeling from the boundary surface and / or dividing from the middle of the melt assimilated second layer.
[0006]
As the form of the mount to be finally integrated, one sheet of the same mount may be folded and overlapped, and the resulting opposing surfaces may be pseudo-bonded, or a plurality of separate mounts may be stacked. It is also possible to pseudo-bond the opposing surfaces that are overlapped and generated. Furthermore, a free mount can be added to the information communication body integrated by pseudo-adhesion, and for example, it can be used as an information communication body such as a reciprocal postcard. At that time, a plurality of reply postcards are further laminated by pseudo-adhesion. It may be an information communication body.
[0007]
A resin layer that is solidified under certain conditions is selected as the first layer. For example, a thermosetting, ultraviolet curable, or hot melt type overprint varnish or ink can be used. Any resin other than varnish and ink can be used as the first resin layer as long as it has a fast drying and solidifying rate, and is not limited. The faster the resin is dried and solidified, the better the work efficiency, and thus the cost can be reduced.
[0008]
As the second layer, polyethylene (PE), ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), ethylene-ethyl acrylate copolymer (EEA), ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer (EAA), polyamide-based resin, polypropylene-based A resin or a resin based on a polyester resin or a mixture thereof can be selected, and a resin having a softening and melting temperature lower than that of the resin of the first layer can be used.
[0009]
When the surfaces on the resin layer side of the mount on which the first layer and the second layer are formed as described above, the second layer resin of the same quality is brought into close contact. When heated and pressurized with a heat roller, heat panel, or the like in this state, the resins of the second layer are melted and the boundary surface disappears and is assimilated. However, even in the heated and pressurized state, the first layer has a softening and melting temperature higher than that of the second layer, and both layers have different physical properties. Therefore, the boundary layer is continuously formed, and assimilation does not occur. Eventually, the second layers of the resin layers facing each other in the configuration of mount / first layer / second layer / second layer / first layer / mount are melted and assimilated, and the mount / first layer / second layer / First layer / mounting board.
[0010]
When an attempt is made to peel open the backing on both outer sides of the information communication body formed in this way, it is peeled off from the boundary surface between the first layer and the second layer having a low peel strength, or between the melted assimilated second layer. Or separated and developed in a mixed form. However, in any of the above-described peeling modes, since the thickness of the second layer is extremely thin, it can be perceived only by the naked eye as a smooth film surface, and the same applies to the tactile sensation.
[0011]
[Action]
When integrating the resin surfaces of the mount with each other by heating and pressurizing, the first layers formed on the mount do not directly face each other but always face each other through the second layers having different physical properties. The layers are melted assimilated and integrated, but the first layers are not melted assimilated and integrated. Therefore, when the mount is to be peeled and opened, it is peeled off from the interface between the first layer and the second layer as described above, or divided from the middle of the melted assimilated second layer, or a mixture of both Can be securely peeled.
[0012]
【Example】
[Preparation of mount]
FIG. 1A is a plan view of a sheet (S) as a unit subjected to printing in offset printing or the like before forming a resin layer, and FIG. 1B is printed in form printing or the like. It is the top view before the resin layer formation of the paper (S) of the continuous long sheet.
A sheet (S) shown in FIG. 1 (A) shows a case where four mounts 1, that is, four information communication body materials (X) are manufactured. However, a desired number (for example, 16 sheets) of mounts 1 can be taken according to the size of the sheet (S). The information is printed on the paper (S). The mount 1 is cut from the sheet (S) by various methods such as cutting or punching with a Thomson blade. Since the cut mount 1 has not yet reached the form of an information communication body, it is referred to as an information communication body material (X) for convenience. The information communication body material (X) is finished into a predetermined information communication body as described later.
[0013]
In addition to the paper (S) by cut format printing such as offset printing, it is possible to use continuous long sheet paper (S) such as form printing as shown in FIG. In this embodiment, an example in which the paper (S) by the former printing method is used will be described. However, even in the latter printing method, only the form of the paper (S) is different. The configuration is basically the same as in the former case.
[0014]
[Outline of resin layer formation]
A transparent resin layer is formed as the first layer on the printed paper (S). As a method for forming the resin layer, a known method can be employed. For example, various types of roll coaters, air doctor coaters, blade coaters, rod coaters, knife coaters, squeeze coaters, slot orifice coaters, extrusion coating, cast coating, etc. can be adopted, and in each method, solvent, non-solvent, Solution coating methods such as hot melt and emulsion can be employed.
[0015]
When the first layer is applied to the mount 1, the process proceeds to the drying step. As a drying method, if the first layer is made of an ultraviolet curable resin, each drying step can be carried out in a very short time by passing through an EB irradiation apparatus if it is made of an ultraviolet ray curable resin or if it is made of an electron beam curable resin. Can be completed. Further, when the first layer is made of a hot-melt type resin, a separate drying device is not required, and when the first layer becomes a softening and melting temperature or lower, it solidifies naturally, but a cooling device can be added. Moreover, what is necessary is just to form a 2nd layer by the same method after 1st layer formation.
[0016]
[Outline of manufacturing process]
There is no particular limitation on the process of finishing each information communication material (X) from the paper (S) into a single information communication body. For example, the first layer and the second layer are formed on the paper (S). After passing through cutting and punching processes, the individual information communication material (X) may be heated and pressurized with a heat roller or the like, and the opposing second layers may be melted and assimilated to form a unitary finish. The paper (S) on which the first layer and the second layer are formed is folded and heated and pressurized with a heat roller or the like, and the second layers facing each other are melted and assimilated to integrate a plurality of information communication material (X). A single product may be finished through a cutting and punching process later.

[Example 1]
Example 1 is a case where the same mount 1 is folded by a folding line 2 and overlapped and variously processed. 2A is an enlarged cross-sectional view of a state in which a resin layer is laminated on the surface of the mount in Example 1, and FIG. 2B is a diagram in which the resin layer is laminated as shown in FIG. It is an expanded sectional view of the state which folded and integrated the mount.
In FIG. 2 (A), the first layer 3 and the second layer 4 of the resin layer are formed on the surface of the mount 1 via the pseudo-adhesive portions 5 on the boundary surface between them.
[0018]
The information carrier material (X) is cut from the sheet (S) on which the first layer 3 and the second layer 4 are formed by cutting or punching as described above, and the single mount 1 is taken along the folding line 2 as shown in FIG. (A) While bending in the arrow direction in (A), the second layers 4 are overlapped, and heated and pressurized by a heat roller. As a result, the second layers 4 are fused and integrated as shown in FIG. The heating and pressing may be performed by a heater panel instead of a heat roller. Usually, the heating may be performed at a temperature of 80 to 140 ° C., and the pressurization may be performed at a pressure of about 4 to 15 kg. However, the heating temperature and the pressurization pressure are the properties of the first layer and the resin of the second layer and the coating amount. It is determined by external conditions such as room temperature.
[0019]
[Example 2]
The second embodiment is a case where the same mount 1 is folded by a plurality of folding lines 2 and processed. 3A is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing a state in which a resin layer is laminated on the front and back surfaces of the trifold mount in Example 2, and FIG. 3B is a resin as shown in FIG. It is an expanded sectional view of the state which folded and integrated the mount in which the layer was laminated into Z folds.
In FIG. 3 (A), a three-fold (Z-fold) mount 1 is typically used as the mount, and the concealed surface on the left side of the front surface of the mount 1 and the concealed surface on the back side of the back surface (mainly 2/3) (mainly After the first layer 3 and the second layer 4 are formed on the information display surface that requires secrecy, Z is formed in the direction of the arrow in FIG. It is folded in a folded shape and integrated as shown in FIG. 3B by the same method as in the first embodiment.
[0020]
In the present embodiment, the Z-folding of the three-fold mount 1 is described. However, as other folding forms, the folding form of the mount 1 having a plurality of folding lines such as three-fold winding, four-fold double folding, A combination of the above-described winding and loose folding is conceivable, and all are integrated by forming the first layer 3 and the second layer 4 on the opposing surfaces in the same manner as in the second embodiment. Further, it is not necessary that all the opposing surfaces can be peeled off by pseudo-adhesion. For example, the first layer 3 and the second layer 4 are formed on only one of the front and back surfaces of the mount 1 shown in FIG. Then, the opposing surface may be pseudo-bonded so as to be peelable, while the other may be bonded in a non-peelable manner by forming a heat-sensitive adhesive or a double-sided adhesive film. In short, the number of the folding lines 2 of the mount 1 and the peeled / non-peeled surface may be appropriately determined according to the use and purpose of the information communication body.
[0021]

In this case as well, as in the case of Example 3, the first layer 3 and the second layer 4 are formed on the opposing surfaces of the mounts 1c, 1d, and 1e to be folded, and the combined second layers 4 are integrated by fusion assimilation. For example, a postcard with a multi-layered information display surface is formed, and if the first layer 3 and the second layer 4 are not formed but simply folded, a three-layer reciprocating postcard is obtained.
[0025]
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. For example, in the fourth embodiment, the case of using three mounts is shown as a typical example, but instead, a desired number of mounts of four or more mounts can be stacked to form an information communication body that is multilayered by the above method.

【The invention's effect】
In the present invention, the second layers of the information display surface of the mount are opposed to each other and heated and pressed to melt and assimilate the second layers to obtain an information laminate. When the recipient of the information laminate applies a force to peel off the concealed surface, the first layer and the second layer have a low peel strength between the pseudo-adhesive portion or the middle of the melted assimilated second layer. It is peeled and deployed. Therefore, in the information laminate, the first layers cannot block each other and cannot be peeled off.
In the present invention, as described above, the second layers may be integrated by melting and assimilating by heating and pressurizing, and special care is taken in adjusting the temperature and pressure during the heating and pressurizing treatment. It is also suitable for mass processing using inexperienced people.
Furthermore, in the present invention, if a continuous long sheet is used as the paper (S) and printing is performed by form printing, rotary printing, etc., then the continuous long sheet is fed out and the first layer and the second layer are formed. Since each process of integration by drying and pseudo-adhesion can be performed continuously, the working efficiency is further improved and the cost can be reduced.
