Description

  The present invention relates to a pair of laminated label sheets on which information can be entered on a label, and then a laminate layer can be formed on the information entry surface of the label. The present invention also relates to a label sheet used for such a purpose. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a label laminating method.

  Label paper and laminate paper so that users can write letters on the surface of label paper or card paper (hereinafter referred to as labels, etc.) and then stick an adhesive film on the surface of labels etc. to form a laminate layer Sheets such as laminate labels are known.

  For example, a conventional laminated label paper is made up of a fixed shape label paper and a fixed shape laminated paper in which a film is stuck on a release paper via an adhesive layer. The label paper and the laminated paper have the same overlapping shape without excess or deficiency. After writing characters or the like on a sheet such as a label, the adhesive-attached film is peeled off from the laminated sheet, and this is pressure-bonded to a printing surface such as a label to obtain a laminated label or the like.

There is also a label paper in which a film, release paper, and label paper are laminated in this order. In this method, after writing characters or the like on a label sheet in use, a label is first attached to an object. Next, the adhesive film remaining on the label paper is removed, and an adhesive laminate layer is formed on the label. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).
Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 6-23066

  Usually, the film for laminating and its adhesive are transparent, and visual observation of the adhesive film is not easy. When laminating using a pair of conventional laminated label sheets, it is difficult to accurately position the adhesive film in accordance with the surface of the label, and the label and the adhesive film may be misaligned.

  In the second conventional example, an adhesive film needs to be further adhered after the label is adhered to the object. Labels can be attached to curved surfaces such as the back cover of books, vertical surfaces such as cabinet doors, and slopes. After sticking a label on such a surface, it is difficult to further stick an adhesive film thereon, and positional deviation between the label paper and the adhesive film also occurs. In addition, lamination failure such as wrinkling of the adhesive film may occur.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to obtain a laminate label sheet that can be easily positioned during the operation of attaching a laminate film to a label. Moreover, this invention makes it a subject to obtain the laminate label paper which can perform lamination film sticking in a suitable work place.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for laminating a label that can be easily positioned at the time of affixing a laminate film to a label and that can be performed at an appropriate work location.
Other problems of the present invention will become apparent from the following description of the present invention.

  A laminate label sheet according to an aspect of the present invention is a laminate label sheet composed of a label sheet and an adhesive film, wherein the label sheet forms a first adhesive layer on a first release sheet, The label paper is formed by sticking a label paper on the adhesive layer, and the label paper is cut into a fixed label area by a first cutting line, and at least one of the outer peripheral lines of the label area is cut by a frame outline cutting line. The adhesive film is formed by forming a second adhesive layer on one surface of the film, and the adhesive film is a laminated area partitioned. And the laminate area has a planar shape that coincides with a plane formed by the entire surface of the label area and a part of the frame area, or the entire surface of the label area and the entire area of the frame area. A laminate label paper is a planar shape that matches the Ranaru plane.

  The usage of the laminate label paper according to the present invention is as follows. First, information is entered in the label area of the label sheet. Next, the label paper is removed from the frame area surrounding the label area in a frame shape. A laminate film is attached to the label area using the first release paper remaining in the label area and the frame area as a guide. At this time, the laminate film portion that protrudes outside the label area is attached to the first release paper. Next, the laminated film and the label area are removed from the first release paper while maintaining the adhered state, and a laminated label is obtained.

According to the present invention, it is possible to obtain a pair of laminated label sheets that can easily position the laminated film and can perform the laminating work at an arbitrary work place. Furthermore, since a certain portion of the laminate area that protrudes from the label area during the lamination operation is affixed to the first release paper, the re-peeling operation is easily performed.
It is not always necessary to enter information in the label area. For example, when a label is pasted only for the purpose of a mark, the label may be pasted after being laminated on a blank label.

In a preferred embodiment of the laminated label paper according to one aspect of the present invention, the label paper is cut into a frame region that surrounds the entire outer peripheral line of the label region in a frame shape by the frame outline cutting line. The laminate area has a planar shape that coincides with a plane composed of the entire surface of the label area and a part of the frame area, or coincides with a plane composed of the entire surface of the label area and the entire area of the frame area. It may be a planar shape.
According to this preferred embodiment, since the laminate film is stretched outward beyond the outer peripheral line of the label region on the entire outer periphery of the label region, there is an effect that the label region is more reliably protected by the lamination.

In another preferred embodiment of the laminate label paper according to one aspect of the present invention, the adhesive film is included in a laminate paper constituted by adhering a second release paper to a second adhesive layer. The film of the laminate paper may be cut into a plurality of the laminate regions by a second cutting line.
In this preferred embodiment, it becomes easy to enclose and enclose the label paper and the pressure-sensitive adhesive film as a pair, so that there is an effect that transportation, sales, storage and the like are facilitated.

The label laminating method according to one aspect of the present invention is a label laminating method using label paper and an adhesive film, wherein the label paper forms a first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer on a first release paper, A label paper is adhered on the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, and the label paper is cut into a fixed-shaped label area by a first cutting line, and further, the outer peripheral line of the label area is cut by a frame outline cutting line. The adhesive film was cut into a frame region surrounding at least a part of the outer peripheral line in a frame shape, and the adhesive film was obtained by forming a second adhesive layer on one surface of the film, and the adhesive film was partitioned A laminate region, and the laminate region has a planar shape that coincides with a plane composed of the entire surface of the label region and a part of the frame region, or the entire surface of the label region and the frame region. A planar shape that matches the plane formed from the surface, a laminate method of labels consisting of the following steps.
(1) Step of removing the label paper in the frame area from the label paper (2) Next, the second adhesive of the laminate area is covered so as to cover the entire surface of the label area and part or all of the frame area. Step (3) of sticking the surface to the label area Next, the label area protrudes from the label area, and a part of the laminate area stuck to the first release paper and the label area are maintained in these sticking states, A step of peeling off from the first release paper.

  The present invention, preferred embodiments of the present invention, and components included in the preferred embodiments described above can be implemented in combination as much as possible.

According to the present invention, it is possible to obtain a pair of laminate label sheets that can be easily positioned during the operation of attaching a laminate film to a label. Moreover, according to this invention, a pair of laminate label paper which can perform lamination film sticking in a suitable work place can be obtained .

  In addition, according to the present invention, there is provided a method for laminating a label that can be easily positioned at the time of affixing a laminate film to a label and can be performed at an appropriate work place.

The label paper is partitioned and cut into label areas. The cutting line may be a punching line provided on the label paper, and a part of the cutting line may coincide with the outline of the label paper.
The frame outline cutting line provided on the label paper may coincide with the contour line of the label paper, or may be a blanking line provided on the label paper, and a part thereof coincides with the contour line. The remainder may be a blanking line.

  The frame region is preferably provided over the entire circumference of the outer periphery of the label region. This is because the laminating effect of the label area becomes more complete. However, it is also possible to provide a frame area only at a part of the outer periphery of the label area. Also in this case, the laminate area can be attached to the label area using the partial frame area as a mark.

  The width of the frame region (the distance between the outer peripheral line of the label region and the frame outline cutting line) can be arbitrarily determined. Preferably, they are 2 mm-20 mm, More preferably, they are 3 mm-15 mm, More preferably, they are 3 mm-12 mm. Within this range, positioning of the laminate area becomes easier even when the laminate area covers all of the label area and part of the frame area. Further, the amount of label paper and release paper corresponding to the frame area is reduced, and the discarded portion of the label paper is reduced.

  The laminated paper may include a single laminated region in a single laminated paper, or a single laminated paper cut into a plurality of laminated region sections. When a single laminated paper includes a single laminated area, the laminated area may coincide with the label paper, or the single laminated paper may be sectioned and cut to include a single laminated area. . The outer peripheral line of the laminate area when it is cut into a plurality of laminate areas may be a blanking line, or a part of the outer peripheral line may coincide with the contour line of the laminate paper.

  The punching process is a process in which only the label paper (or film) is cut and the region surrounded by the cutting line can be peeled off. Although the label paper (or film) is cut by the punching process, the label paper (or film) is supported by the release paper via the adhesive layer and maintains the shape of the label paper.

  One or a plurality of anchor portions may or may not be provided on the cutting line of the label sheet punching process. The anchor portion is a portion where a very short line is connected without being cut on the cutting line, and has a role of assisting in maintaining the shape of the label sheet. An example of the distance between the anchor portions is 0.2 mm. In order to print on label paper with a printer, it is preferable to provide an anchor portion on the punching line.

  For the adhesive film, a single sheet having a single laminate region can be used. A single adhesive film may include a plurality of laminate regions. The form including a plurality of laminate regions includes a planar shape, a laminated shape, or a roll shape, and any of them may be used. In the case of a planar form, the second release paper is attached to the second adhesive layer of the film and supplied. In the case of a laminated or roll form, it is usually supplied with the one surface of the film and the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer adhered.

The adhesive film is preferably partitioned and cut for each single laminate region, but may be supplied as a continuous body and cut with a scissors or the like when used.
The planar shape of the label area can be any shape such as a square, a circle, an ellipse, or a polygon. Among these, labels of squares, squares with curved corners, circles, and ellipses are preferable, and squares and squares with curved corners are more preferable. This is because these shapes are frequently used as labels, and the positioning of the laminate is easy.

As the label paper used in the present invention, coated paper, fine paper, craft paper, finely coated paper, thermal paper, and other papers can be used. A synthetic resin film subjected to ink receiving processing can also be used.
When printing with an ink jet printer, it is preferable to use paper dedicated to the ink jet printer. Since a normal ink jet printer uses water-soluble ink, it is desirable to laminate the printing surface in order to protect the printing surface, which is a preferred field of use of the present invention.

  The label paper can be white, colored paper, transparent sheet, or the like. In addition, vertical, horizontal and grid-like ruled lines may be printed in advance. Further, preliminary printing such as underline, company name, library name, and trademark may be made.

  The first adhesive constituting the label paper and the second adhesive constituting the adhesive film are pressure-sensitive adhesives. As such an adhesive, a known adhesive (for example, acrylic, rubber, urethane, etc.) can be used. An acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive is preferred.

  The release paper is usually obtained by subjecting the paper surface to a release treatment. As the release treatment, a silicon resin coating, a fluororesin coating, or an amine-based release agent coating can be used. Further, a surface embossing process, a bluffing process, or a processing method of adding fine particles to a coating agent can be used.

  The film is a transparent protective film. Therefore, transparent, translucent, colored films, patterned films, etc. can be used. The material is usually an olefin resin or an ester resin. A biodegradable resin can also be used. Examples of the olefin resin include polyethylene, polypropylene (PP), polystyrene, and polyvinyl chloride. Examples of the ester-based resin include polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polybutylene terephthalate. PP and PET are preferred.

  The release paper constituting the laminate paper may be provided with a cutting line that becomes a finger hook when the laminate area is peeled off.

  The laminated label paper according to the present invention and the method for laminating the label paper and the label will be further described below with reference to examples. The dimensions, materials, shapes, relative positions, etc. of the members and parts described in the embodiments of the present invention are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention to those unless otherwise specified. It is merely an illustrative example.

  1A and 1B are explanatory views of the label paper 2, wherein FIG. 1A is a plane explanatory view and FIG. 1B is a cross-sectional explanatory view. Referring to (b), the label paper 2 has a first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 formed on the surface of the first release paper 21 on which the release agent layer 28 is applied, and a label paper 23 is adhered thereon. It is configured. The first release paper 21 is a high-quality paper, and a release resin layer 28 is formed by applying a fluororesin thereto. The first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 is formed by applying an emulsion type acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive. The label paper 23 is ink jet printer paper.

  Referring to (a), the label sheet 2 has six label areas 3. An outer peripheral line of the label region 3 is a first cutting line 24. An outer peripheral line of the frame region 25 is a frame outline cutting line 26. The first cutting line 24 and the frame outline cutting line 26 are lines obtained by punching only the label paper 23 of the label paper 2 having a laminated structure. By this punching process, only the frame area 25 can be peeled off from the label paper 2 and only the label area 3 can be peeled off from the label paper 2. The frame outline cutting line 26 surrounds the entire outer peripheral line of the label region 3.

  2A and 2B are explanatory views of the laminate paper 4, wherein FIG. 2A is a plane explanatory view and FIG. 2B is a cross-sectional explanatory view. Referring to (b), the laminate paper 4 is configured by forming a second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 42 on the surface of the second release paper 41 on which the release agent layer 48 is applied, and then sticking a film 43 thereon. Has been. When the second release paper 41 is removed from the laminate paper 4, an adhesive film is obtained. The second release paper 41 is a high-quality paper, and a release resin layer 48 is formed by applying a fluororesin thereto. The second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 42 is formed by applying a solvent-type acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive. The film 43 is a polypropylene (PP) film.

  With reference to (a), the film 43 is cut by a second cutting line 44. The second cutting line 44 is a blanking line. The laminate paper 4 has six laminate regions 5 surrounded by the second cutting line 44 and the outline 47 of the laminate paper.

Next, a method of using a laminate label sheet composed of the label sheet 2 and the laminate sheet 4 including an adhesive label will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 3, a part of the label paper 2 is shown enlarged.
First, information is printed on the surface of the label area 3 of the label paper 2 by an ink jet printer (characters and images may be handwritten). Next, the label paper in the frame region 25 surrounded by the frame outline cutting line 26 and the first cutting line 24 is removed. As shown in (a), the remaining frame region 25 is surrounded by steps because only the first release paper remains. In general, the surface of the release paper and the label paper are different in color and texture, so that the remaining frame area 25 is easily distinguished from other areas by visual inspection.

  Next, the single laminate area is peeled off from the laminate paper 4, and the exposed second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer surface is attached to the label area 3. The pasted state is shown in (b). In (b), the laminated region 5 is given a group of parallel lines descending to the right. At this time, the above-described frame region that is easily divided by visual observation serves as a guide for positioning.

Subsequently, while maintaining the state where the label area and the laminate area are adhered, they are peeled off from the first release paper 21 to obtain a laminated label. The label area is affixed to the first release paper 21, and a part of the laminate area newly affixed to the frame area by the laminating operation is also on the first release paper 21. The peeling work can be easily performed.
Finally, the laminated label is applied to the label application location.

  In the present embodiment, the outline of the frame area 25 and the outline of the laminate area 5 overlap each other without excess or deficiency. In other words, the planar shape of the laminate region is coincident with the plane formed by the entire label region and the entire frame region.

Subsequently, a laminating operation in another embodiment will be described.
As in the embodiment described with reference to FIG. 3, information is first printed on the surface of the label area 3 of the label paper 2. Next, the label paper in the frame region 25 surrounded by the frame outline cutting line 26 and the first cutting line 24 is removed. Next, the single laminate area is peeled off from the laminate paper 4, and the exposed second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer surface is attached to the label area 3. The pasted state is shown in FIG. The same members and portions as those in FIG. 3 are denoted by the same reference numerals. In the drawing, a parallel line group that falls to the right is attached to the laminate region 5a.

  In the present embodiment, the size of the laminate region 5a is slightly larger than the outer periphery of the label region 3 (that is, the first cutting line 24), and one size larger than the outer periphery of the frame region 25 (that is, the second cutting line 26). Small around. In other words, the planar shape of the laminate area coincides with the plane formed by the entire label area and a part of the frame area. Even when a laminating operation is performed using a laminating area of this size, the above-described frame area that is easily divided by visual observation serves as a guide for positioning.

The overlapping positional relationship between the label area and the laminate area can be arbitrarily determined.
For example, one side of the laminate area may be laminated with one side of the label area, and one corner of the laminate area may be laminated with one corner of the label area. Good. In this way, it is possible to obtain a label that is more suitable for the laminated label application position. From the viewpoint of protecting written information by laminating, it is preferable that the laminating area is overlapped over the entire outer periphery of the label area.

FIG. 5 is an explanatory view showing another embodiment of the label sheet.
A label sheet 2a shown in FIG. 6A has six label areas (3a, 3b, 3c, etc.). The first cutting line 24 and the frame outline cutting line 26 are partially shared (for example, 24a and 26a). Further, a part of the outline 27 of the label sheet and the frame outline cutting line 26 are common (for example, 27b and 26b).

  In the case of this example, it is intended that the laminating operation proceeds sequentially for each single label area. That is, when the frame region 25a is removed, the first release paper surrounding the label region 3a is exposed, so the laminating operation is performed with the laminate region attached. Next, the label area 3a and the laminated area adhered thereto are peeled off.

Next, the frame area 25b is removed, and the work for the label area 3b is performed. Alternatively, the frame area 25c is removed, and the work for the label area 3c is performed.
Thereafter, similar operations are sequentially performed.

  In the case of this example, the remaining frame area 25 from which the label paper is removed exposes the release paper, and the surface of the release paper and the label paper are different in color and texture, so the remaining frame area 25 is another area. And can be easily distinguished by visual inspection. For this reason, positioning of a lamination area | region is performed easily.

  However, there is no step formed around the remaining frame area, which is realized in the embodiment described with reference to FIG. In this respect, it is preferable that the first cutting line, the frame outline cutting line, and the contour line of the label paper are not common to each other and are independent as in the label paper used in the above embodiment.

  The label sheet 2b shown in (b) has two label areas (3d, 3e). The first cutting line 24 and the frame outline cutting line 26 are partially shared (for example, 24d and 26d). The outline 27 of the label sheet and the frame outline cutting line 26 are partially shared (for example, 27d and 26d).

  The label paper 2c shown in (c) has a single label region 3f. The outline 27f of the label sheet and the frame outline 26f are all in common.

  The laminate label paper according to the present invention can be used as an adhesive label for office supplies, stationery, and the like.

It is explanatory drawing of label paper. It is explanatory drawing of a laminate paper. It is explanatory drawing which shows the usage method of a laminate label paper. It is explanatory drawing which shows the usage method of a laminate label paper (modified example). It is explanatory drawing of a label paper (modification example).
