Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a display tag continuum in which display tags are continuously connected, and more particularly to a display tag continuum on which copy-forgery-inhibited pattern printing or solid printing is performed using a rotary printing press or an intermittent rotary printing press.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, what is called a display tag on which a product name, price, size, rod number, and the like are printed is attached to clothing. In particular, display tags (hereinafter referred to as brand tags) attached to brand-name products are not only printed with variable information such as product name, price, size, etc. Emphasis is given to the background information and solid printing, which are fixed information such as company name and brand.
[0003]
Display tags with background pattern printing or solid printing on the background are installed at product manufacturing sites, product sales sites, etc., using continuous paper with the background pattern printing or solid printing, which is fixed information, as a continuous display tag. The printer is loaded and printed with variable information such as product name, price, size, etc., and then cut by the cutter mechanism of the printer.
[0004]
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a configuration of a conventional display tag continuum.
Background pattern printing and solid printing on long paper are used for rotary printing machines and intermittent rotary printing machines because they can print ground pattern printing and solid printing at high speeds. However, rotary printing machines and intermittent rotary printing machines use plate cylinders. Since a flat plate material is wound around a cylindrical shape, a seam (gap) is formed, and when printed using this, the conventional display tag continuum 4 has a structure as shown in FIG. A streak-like seam A is generated in the pattern. When such a conventional display tag continuum 4 is loaded into a printer and variable information is printed and cut, the joint A remains above and below the display tag even when the joint A is cut. In other words, the manufactured display tag has a poor appearance. In addition, as a seamless plate on a rotary printing press, there is an endless plate by a method of producing a plate on a drum, but it takes a long time to produce and is expensive.
[0005]
Accordingly, the present applicant aims to provide a method for manufacturing a perforated display tag that can efficiently produce a display tag subjected to high-quality copy-forgery-inhibited pattern printing or solid printing. It is proposed that the perforations are formed by matching them so that the joint A is not noticeable (for example, see Patent Document 1).

[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the conventional technique is an effective method for a perforated display tag. However, in a display tag that does not have a perforation, the joint mark A generated in the background pattern printing or solid printing still deteriorates the appearance of the display tag. There was a problem that the fundamental solution was not reached.
[0008]
The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a printing machine (for example, a rotary printing machine, an intermittent rotary printing machine) that uses a printing plate in which a seam A is generated in tint block printing or solid printing. Even if the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern printing or solid printing is performed by a printing machine, a lithographic printing machine, etc., when variable information is printed by the printer and then cut after the display tag is cut off, The object is to provide a display tag continuum that can provide a high-quality display tag that does not exist.
[0009]
In order to solve the above problems, the present invention has the following configurations.
The gist of the invention described in claim 1 is a display tag continuum in which a copy-forgery-inhibited pattern printing or a solid printing on which a joint of a printing plate is generated is performed, and one display tag is separated by one cut by a printer cutting mechanism. In addition, the pre-cut which is cut into the shape of the display tag leaving only one side cut in the width direction by the cutting mechanism of the printer is a joint trace of the tint block printing or solid printing between the continuous display tags. The display tag continuum is characterized by being continuously formed so as to be positioned.
According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a continuous display tag according to claim 1, wherein the uncut portion of the pre-cut is wound in a roll shape so as to be positioned on the front side in the unwinding direction. Exists in the body.
[0010]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
[0011]
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of an embodiment of a display tag continuum according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a configuration of a printing apparatus for manufacturing the display tag continuum according to the present invention.
[0012]
Referring to FIG. 1, the display tag continuum 1 according to the present embodiment is subjected to a copy-forgery-inhibited pattern printing or solid printing, which is fixed information such as a design, a company name, and a brand. The display tag on which the character-shaped pre-cut 2 is formed is a continuous long paper, and variable information is printed by a printer (not shown) that prints variable information such as product name, price, size, etc., and variable information is printed. Thereafter, the display tag is separated by cutting a cutting position indicated by a dotted line in FIG. 1 by a cutting mechanism (not shown) of the printer.
[0013]
Referring to FIG. 1, the pre-cut 2 includes a pair of horizontal cuts and a vertical cut on one side, and is cut into the shape of a display tag, leaving only one side cut by the cutting mechanism of the printer. The pair of horizontal cuts are cut to a length equal to or greater than the horizontal width of the display tag, and the vertical cut on one side is cut to the same length as the vertical width of the display tag. Therefore, one display tag is separated by one cut by the printer cutting mechanism.
[0014]
The copy-forgery-inhibited pattern printing or the solid printing is performed by a printing apparatus (for example, a rotary printing machine, an intermittent rotary printing machine, a lithographic printing machine, or the like) using a printing plate having a seam, and a seam mark A is generated. However, as shown in FIG. 1, the pre-cut 2 is formed so that the joint mark A is arranged between the continuous display tags. Therefore, the cut position indicated by the dotted line in FIG. 1 is cut by a cutting mechanism (not shown) of the printer, so that the display tag can be separated without including the joint mark A.
[0015]
Further, a threading hole 3 is formed in each display tag of the display tag continuum 1, and in a printer loaded with the display tag continuum 1, a position detection mark (timing mark) is provided in the threading hole 3. As described above, the print position and the cut position can be determined by detecting with a photoelectric sensor. Instead of the threading hole 3, a timing mark made of black ink or the like may be printed on the back surface of the display tag continuous body 1 or the like.
[0016]
In addition, although the example of the rectangular display tag was shown in FIG. 1, the shape of a display tag is not restricted to a rectangle, It is applied to the display tag of various shapes. That is, since it is sufficient that the precut 2 is formed by leaving only one side to be cut by the printer loaded with the display tag continuous body 1, the shape of the precut 2 can be changed to cope with display tags of various shapes. can do.
[0017]
Since the display tag portion of the display tag continuum 1 is a long sheet of paper with a continuous pattern and solid printing on which the joint A does not exist, the roll of the display tag continuum 1 is wound. The roll-shaped display tag continuous body 1 can be loaded and used in a printer equipped with a cutter mechanism. In the case where the display tag continuous body 1 is a roll, when the uncut portion of the pre-cut 2 is wound in the unwinding direction, that is, the front side in the conveying direction by the printer, the printing unit such as a thermal head in the printer. This is preferable because it can be conveyed so as not to be caught on the surface.
[0018]
FIG. 2 shows a printing apparatus 10 that manufactures the display tag continuum 1 of the present embodiment. The printing apparatus 10 includes a paper feed roll 12 to which the roll paper 11 is attached, a printing unit 13 that performs copy-forgery-inhibited pattern printing and solid printing on the roll paper 11, and a die cut that forms the precut 2 on the roll paper 11 according to the shape of the display tag. And a winding roll 15 that winds the roll paper 11 on which the pre-cut 2 is continuously formed as the display tag continuous body 1. The roll paper 11 has a width wider than the vertical width of the display tag.
[0019]
The roll paper 11 unwound from the paper feed roll 12 is first subjected to tint block printing or solid printing by the printing unit 13. Note that the printing unit 13 includes a printing machine (for example, a rotary printing machine, an intermittent rotary printing machine, a lithographic printing machine) that uses a printing plate in which a joint exists in the plate and a joint mark A is generated when a tint block printing or a solid printing is performed. In such a printing machine, since an inexpensive plate can be used, the manufacturing cost of the display tag continuous body 1 can be reduced.
[0020]
Next, after the pre-cut 2 is continuously formed by the die-cut part 14, the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern printing or solid printing is performed, and the roll paper 11 on which the pre-cut 2 is continuously formed is applied to the take-up roll 15 as the display tag continuous body 1. It is wound up.
[0021]
In addition, when manufacturing the display tag continuous body 1 by the printing apparatus 10, when using the roll paper 11 having a position detection mark (timing mark) such as the threading hole 3 in advance, the position detection mark is used. Is detected by the photoelectric sensor, and the printing position of the tint block printing or solid printing by the printing unit 13 and the formation position of the pre-cut 2 by the die cutting unit 14 may be determined. When roll paper 11 that does not exist is used, a mark for position detection corresponding to the printing position of the background pattern printing or solid printing by the printing unit 13 is applied to the roll paper 11 by some means (printing means provided elsewhere). Printing may be performed, and the position detection mark may be detected by a photoelectric sensor to determine the formation position of the pre-cut 2 by the die-cut portion 14.
[0022]
As described above, according to the present embodiment, the display tag is left by cutting out only one side to be cut by the printer so that the joint pattern A of the tint block printing or the solid printing is arranged between the continuous display tags. A printing press using a printing plate (for example, a rotary printing press, an intermittent rotary printing press, a lithographic printing press, etc.) in which a joint mark A is generated in the tint block printing or solid printing by continuously forming the precut 2 cut into the shape of Etc.), even if the background pattern printing or solid printing is applied, when the variable tag is cut after printing by the printer and the display tag is separated, the high quality display in which the seam mark A does not exist in the background pattern printing or the solid printing. The effect is that the tag can be obtained.
[0023]
Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and it is obvious that the embodiments can be appropriately changed within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention. In addition, the number, position, shape, and the like of the constituent members are not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be set to a suitable number, position, shape, and the like in practicing the present invention.
