Description

  The present invention relates to a label form suitable as a delivery slip used particularly in a mail order industry, a department store industry, or a transportation industry.

  For example, when a product ordered by mail order is shipped, the sender manages the flow of the product by attaching a delivery slip to the outside of the case in which the product is packed. In other words, when the delivery company requested by the shipper finishes delivering the goods, he / she gets the recipient's seal or signature in the receipt stamp field of the delivery slip, separates the delivery slip from the delivery slip, and brings it back as a delivery record. Yes. Since the separated delivery slips are managed repeatedly, it must be structured so that there is no sticky feeling on the back. Therefore, conventionally, when manufacturing such a delivery slip, for example, a method disclosed in the following patent document has been adopted.

JP 2004-226547 A

  In the manufacturing method disclosed in the above-mentioned patent document, first, the label paper and the release paper are temporarily peeled off from the original label, and then the ink is partially applied on the release agent layer of the mount, and finally the label is applied. In this method, the paper and the release paper are bonded again. According to this method, since the ink layer applied on the release agent layer is transferred to the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of the label paper, the adhesive force of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is sealed in a part of the label paper, and the portion is separated. It is possible to prevent a sticky feeling from remaining on the back surface.

  However, when the delivery slip is manufactured by the above method, there are the following problems. That is, when a manufactured product is handled, peeling occurs at the boundary surface between the release paper and the ink layer even if a light impact that can be folded is applied, so that a phenomenon occurs in which air enters the peeled gap. In particular, if a perforation for folding or cutting is provided in the product, this phenomenon is remarkable around the perforation, and the label paper may be completely lifted from the release paper. This is a phenomenon that occurs because the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is covered with the ink layer at the separation portion of the label paper, and the interfacial adhesive force between the release paper and the ink layer is very weak.

  As described above, when the label sheet floats in the delivery slip, it causes a printing trouble when the label sheet is printed by the non-impact printer. In particular, when the perforations that are fold-folded or valley-folded are provided in parallel to the printing direction of the printer, the floating around the perforations becomes intense, so printing defects such as fading or missing prints. Appears prominently.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and the object of the present invention is to eliminate the floating of the label paper that causes printing troubles in a label form suitable as a delivery slip, and to achieve non-impact. It is to provide a label form with improved printability by a printer.

  In order to achieve the above object, the first invention of the present application is capable of peeling a label paper having an adhesive layer applied to the back surface of a label base material on a release paper having a release agent layer applied to the surface of the mount. In the label form bonded to the cover sheet, a separation piece that can be separated from the label paper through a cut perforation is provided, and a coating layer in which ink is transferred onto the adhesive layer in a corresponding area of the separation piece The coating layer is characterized in that the print region along the cut perforation is formed with a thinner layer than the corresponding region of the separation piece.

  Further, in the second invention of the present application, the label paper having the adhesive layer applied to the back surface of the label base material is detachably bonded onto the release paper having the release agent layer applied to the surface of the mount. In the label form, the label paper is provided with a separation piece that can be separated through a cut perforation, and a corresponding layer of the separation piece is provided with a coating layer in which ink is transferred onto the adhesive layer. The covering layer is formed with halftone dots only in the print area along the cut perforation.

  In the first or second aspect of the invention, the coating layer is preferably composed of an ultraviolet curable ink containing a silicone component.

  According to the label form according to the present invention, the adhesive layer is not completely shielded particularly in the peripheral portion of the cut perforation that is likely to cause the label paper to float, and a minute amount of the adhesive oozes out and the release agent. Comes in contact with the layer. This increases the adhesion between the label paper and the release paper in the print area and eliminates the lifting of the label paper, thus reliably preventing print defects such as fading and missing prints when printing with a non-impact printer. The printability of the printer can be improved.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment in which a label form according to the present invention is applied to a delivery slip will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a label form 1 according to this embodiment is a delivery slip that is attached to a case in which products are packed and managed by a mail order dealer or a department store dealer. The label form 1 is roughly composed of a label sheet 2 and a release sheet 3.

  As shown in FIG. 1C, the label paper 2 is obtained by applying an adhesive layer 22 to the entire back surface of the label substrate 21. A separation piece 24 is defined on the label sheet 2 via a cut perforation (shown by a dotted line in the figure) 23, and the separation piece 24 becomes a delivery slip that can be separated from the delivery slip. A printing area (indicated by a one-dot chain line in the drawing) 25 by a non-impact printer is set along the cut perforation 23 at a position above the separation piece 24, and in a print direction A parallel to the cut perforation 23. The letters “delivery slip and receipt” are printed. On the other hand, the release paper 3 is obtained by applying the release agent layer 32 to the entire surface of the mount 31.

  The label paper 2 and the release paper 3 are bonded to each other through a boundary surface between the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 and the release agent layer 32 so as to be peelable. That is, the label paper 2 from which the release paper 3 has been peeled off can be attached to the adherend by the adhesive force of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 on the back surface, and after being attached, the cut perforation 23 is cut and the separation piece 24 is cut. Can be cut off.

  Further, the label form 1 of the present embodiment ensures that the printability of the printer in the print area 25 is reliably maintained, and does not leave a sticky feeling on the back surface of the separation piece 24 separated from the label paper 2. It has such a characteristic configuration.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 1B, the coating layer 4 to which the printing ink is transferred is provided on the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 of the label paper 2 limited to the corresponding region of the separation piece 24. As shown in FIG. 3C, the coating layer 4 has a single-layer structure of only the first printing layer 41 in the printing area 25, whereas the first printing is performed in the other area corresponding to the separation piece 24. The layered structure is such that the second print layer 42 is applied on the layer 41 so that the print region 25 is thinner than the corresponding region of the separation piece 24.

  The covering layer 4 is set in a range slightly larger than the area surrounded by the cut perforations 23 so that the adhesive layer 22 does not protrude inside the separating piece 24.

  The above is the configuration of the label form 1 of the present embodiment. Next, a specific manufacturing method will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the label form 1 can be manufactured using a general-purpose label raw material in which a label paper 2 and a release paper 3 are detachably bonded. The label raw material that can be used has an adhesive force of 100 to 4000 g · f / 25 mm (measured by 180 ° peeling method according to JIS Z0237). In this embodiment, “OK Tuck TWF55 / P22 / G7B” (manufactured by Oji Tack Co., Ltd., adhesive strength: 1000 g · f / 25 mm) was used as a commercially available label original.

  As shown in FIG. 2A, first, the label paper 2 is temporarily peeled off through the boundary surface P between the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 and the release agent layer 32 for the original label.

  Next, in the release paper 3 from which the label paper 2 has been peeled off, the coating layer 4 is formed on the release agent layer 32. The covering layer 4 is a so-called paste-killing process composed of printing ink that seals the adhesive strength of the adhesive layer 22.

  As such a printing ink, an ultraviolet curable ink containing a silicone component as an auxiliary agent can be used except for the pigment. Examples of commercially available printing inks include UV curable varnish “NVR varnish UP-2” and “NVR L carton medium” (both manufactured by T & K TOKA Corporation). In the present embodiment, a printing ink in which the “NVR varnish UP-2” and “NVR L carton medium” are blended at a mixing ratio of 1: 1 is used.

As shown in FIG. 2B, the first printing layer 41 is applied and formed on the release agent layer 32 over the corresponding region of the separation piece 24 and the entire printing region 25 using this printing ink. As an indication of the coating amount, it is desirable to set it to an extent that the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 is not completely covered, specifically, less than 1 g / m ^{2, which} is smaller than the usual paste-killing process. The printing method is not particularly limited, and various printing methods such as letterpress printing, flat plate (intaglio printing), or screen printing can be used.

And after irradiating ultraviolet rays with respect to the 1st printing layer 41 and fixing ultraviolet curable ink, as shown in FIG.2 (c), ultraviolet curing similar to the above on the 1st printing layer 41 is carried out. The second printing layer 42 made of mold ink is applied and formed. Here, the 2nd printing layer 42 is limited to the range except the printing area | region 25 among the area | regions in which the 1st printing layer 41 was apply | coated and formed. As a standard of the coating amount, it is set to at least 1 g / m ² or more at the same level as a normal paste-killing process, and the adhesive layer 22 is formed by applying the first printed layer 41 and the second printed layer 42 in an overlapping manner. It shall be completely shielded.

  Subsequently, after irradiating the second printing layer 42 with ultraviolet rays to fix the ultraviolet curable ink, as shown in FIG. 2D, the label paper 2 is pasted again on the release paper 3. .

  Finally, as shown in FIG. 2 (e), a perforation 23 is formed by cutting the outline of the separation piece 24. The cut perforations 23 can be formed by leaving the release paper 3 on the label paper 2 and performing a half-cut process.

  Thus, after the coating layer 4 is applied and formed on the release agent layer 32, when the label paper 2 and the release paper 3 are bonded together, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 of the label paper 2 comes into contact with the coating layer 4. At this time, since the adhesive force between the coating layer 4 and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 is much stronger than the adhesive force between the coating layer 4 and the release agent layer 32, the release agent is removed when the label paper 2 is peeled off from the release paper 3. The coating layer 4 fixed on the layer 32 is transferred to the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 side.

  In this embodiment, as a method for forming the coating layer 4, a transfer method is adopted in which an ultraviolet curable ink is applied onto the release agent layer 32 of the release paper 3 and the ink is transferred to the adhesive layer 22 of the label paper 2. However, it is also conceivable to use a direct method in which an ultraviolet curable ink is directly applied onto the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 of the label paper 2. However, when the direct method is used, the adhesive force between the coating layer 4 and the release agent layer 33 becomes extremely weak and the label paper 2 may be lifted. Therefore, the transfer method is more suitable than the direct method. Is preferred.

  As is clear from the above configuration, according to the label form 1 of the present embodiment, the label sheet 2 can be attached to the adherend, and the separation piece 2 separated through the cut perforation 23 is adhesive. Since the agent layer 22 is completely covered by the coating layer 4, the adhesiveness on the back surface can be removed.

  On the other hand, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 is not completely shielded by forming the coating layer 4 thinly in a single-layer structure particularly in the portion where the label paper 2 is liable to float, that is, in the peripheral portion of the cut perforation 23. A small amount of the pressure-sensitive adhesive oozes out from the thin first printing layer 41 and comes into contact with the release agent layer 32. Therefore, at least for the print region 25 along the cut perforation 23, the adhesive property between the label paper 2 and the release paper 3 is increased compared to the corresponding region of the separation piece 24 that completely shields the adhesive layer 22, so that the label The floating of the paper 2 is eliminated. Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent printing troubles such as fading or missing of printing when printing is performed on the printing area 25 in the printing direction A by the non-impact printer.

  By the way, as a configuration for increasing the adhesive force between the label paper 2 and the release paper 3 only for the print region 25, a configuration as shown in FIG. 3 can be adopted instead of the single-layer structure described above. The configuration shown in the figure is different from the above-described embodiment in the configuration of the coating layer 4. That is, in the corresponding region of the separation piece 24, the ultraviolet curable ink is applied in an application amount similar to that of a normal paste-killing process to form a solid print layer 43 that completely covers the adhesive layer 22, and printing. About the area | region 25, the dot printing layer 44 is formed by carrying out the application | coating of the same ink. For the manufacturing method, the transfer method described in FIG. 2 may be applied.

  According to such a configuration, in the print region 25, a portion where the ink is not applied is formed in the halftone print layer 44, and the adhesive of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 comes off from this uncoated portion and contacts the release agent layer 32. . Therefore, at least in the print area 25, as in the above-described embodiment, the adhesiveness between the label paper 2 and the release paper 3 is increased, the floating of the label paper 2 is eliminated, and the printability by the non-impact printer can be improved. it can. Moreover, according to this structure, since the coating layer 4 can be made into a single layer and the halftone dot printing layer 44 is used, the amount of ink applied can be reduced, and there is an advantage that it can be manufactured at a lower cost. .

  Various modified examples in which the layered structure by overprinting shown in FIG. 1 and the structure by halftone dot printing shown in FIG. 3 are combined are also conceivable. That is, as shown in FIG. 4A, a structure in which the first layer is formed of the solid print layer 43 and the dot print layer 44 and the second layer is formed of only the solid print layer 43, or FIG. ) Or a structure in which the first layer is formed of only the solid printing layer 43 and the second layer is formed of the solid printing layer 43 and the dot printing layer 44, or as shown in FIG. In addition, by adopting a structure in which both the first layer and the second layer are formed by the solid print layer 43 and the halftone dot print layer 44, the floating of the label paper 2 in the print region 25 is eliminated and the printability is improved. Can be improved.
