In the case of two folds, one valley fold T is provided (FIG. 2A), and in the case of three folds, one valley fold T and one mountain fold Y are provided (FIG. 3A). And it supplies to the said varnish printing machine 1, and a varnish is apply | coated to the area | region of the both sides which pinched the valley fold T (FIG.2 (b), FIG.3 (b)). Here, the varnished area is hatched. Then, they are dried through the UV dryer 2. In the case of tri-folding, since it is necessary to apply varnish to both sides of the paper A, the varnish is temporarily laminated on the second stacker unit 10, and it is turned upside down and supplied to the varnish printing machine 1 again. Varnish is applied to the regions on both sides sandwiching the valley fold T on the back side (FIG. 3C). The paper A after applying varnish to a predetermined portion and drying is supplied to the paper folding machine 5 through the first transport unit 3 and the second transport unit 4, and in the case of folding in half, it is V-shaped. In the case of tri-folding, a crease is attached in a Z-shape (FIG. 3 (d)), and the cutting allowance 11 is immediately cut off by the cutting part 6 (FIG. 2). (D)), FIG. 3 (e)). And it is sent to the crimping machine 8 by the said 3rd conveyance part 7, and is crimped | bonded (FIG.2 (e), FIG.3 (f)). The postcard B manufactured in this way is stacked on the first stacker unit 9.

  In the case of a three-fold crimped postcard, varnish is applied to predetermined portions on both the front and back surfaces, but the application pattern is exactly the same as shown in FIGS. Accordingly, the same plate cylinder 19 can be used as long as the direction of the paper A supplied to the varnish printing machine 1 is not mistaken. In the present invention, the supply direction of the paper A is unified on the side where the tailing allowance 11 is provided, so there is no problem at all.
