  FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 are explanatory diagrams for manufacturing a continuous label from a conventional label continuum. 5 (A) and 5 (B) show the basic part of FIG. 1 of the above-mentioned patent document. The label continuum 101 has a label base 102 provided with a release paper 104 via an adhesive 103, and FIG. On the label base 102, cutting lines 105 that become the label portions 106 are formed at predetermined intervals. The cutting line 105 is ideally formed by cutting only the label base 102 and the adhesive 103.

  Then, the label continuous body 101 is conveyed, and, as shown in FIG. 5B, only the label base 102 is separated at the portion of the residue raising roller 111 with the adhesive 103 attached thereto, thereby the label portion 106. Is the continuous label 107 left on the release paper 104 as the label 106A. The separated label substrate 102 is wound as a label residue by a winding unit (not shown).

  However, when forming the cut line 105 on the label substrate 102 (adhesive 103), as shown in FIG. 6A, the cut line is not formed in the entire layer of the adhesive 103, but only the middle of the layer is formed. If not, or as shown in FIG. 6 (B), even if a cut is formed in the entire layer of the pressure-sensitive adhesive 103, the pressure-sensitive adhesive 103 protrudes toward the cutting line 105 (cut) and the pressure-sensitive adhesives are separated from each other. It causes a situation of bonding. When the residue is raised in such a state, as shown in FIG. 5B, the label portion 106 that becomes the label 106A is peeled off from the release paper 104 and remains on the label residue, thereby reducing the yield. There is a problem that the manufacturing efficiency is lowered. Even if the scrap raising roller 111 is disposed obliquely with respect to the conveyance direction of the label continuous body 101, there remains a problem that the label portion 106 cannot be reliably left on the release paper 104 from the label scrap side.

  Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and provides a label continuous body, a continuous label manufacturing apparatus, and a continuous label manufacturing method that reliably cause labels to remain on release paper to avoid a decrease in yield and a decrease in manufacturing efficiency.
