Description

  The present invention relates to a label sheet that can be used in a handy terminal printer.

  Conventionally, a label sheet 1 as shown in FIG. 8 is known as a label that can be printed by a handy terminal printer. As shown in FIG. 1 (a), a conventional label sheet 1 is formed by laminating a long label 2 and a long release paper 3, and the slits 4 and unloads are formed at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction of the label 2. A cut line made of the cut 5 is provided, and a plurality of single-piece labels 6, 6,... Are connected through the cut line so as to be separable. And after printing a predetermined matter on the label 2 with a handy terminal printer, the uncut 5 is cut, and the single-piece label 6 is peeled off from the release paper 3 for use.

  As a usage form of such a label sheet 1, in addition to a form in which the single label 6 is separated and used one by one, a form in which a plurality of single label 6, 6 are connected and used as a continuous label 7 can be considered. . For example, when a label 2 on which a delivery destination or a product list is printed is affixed to a case in which products are packaged, a single single label 6 is sufficient if the number of products is small, but a plurality of single labels 6 are required if the number of products is large. , 6 must be printed. However, the conventional label sheet 1 has the following problems.

  (1) Although it is easy to use in the form of the single label 6 separated one by one, it is difficult to handle the label 2 after being peeled from the release paper 3 in the state as a continuous label 7 in which a plurality of sheets are connected. That is, in the case of the continuous label 7, since the adhesive on the back side of the label is exposed over a wide range, the single label 6 that is attached or connected to an unrelated place when the continuous label 7 is pinched with a finger. , 6 are likely to cause troubles such as sticking together.

  (2) When the label 2 is peeled off from the adherend, it cannot be peeled off successfully. For example, as shown in FIG. 8B, when the personal information A and B is written on the continuous label 7 attached to the adherend 8 such as a cardboard box, the continuous label 7 is peeled off when discarded. It is necessary to prevent leakage of personal information A and B. However, if the continuous label 7 is to be peeled off from the cardboard box, the adhesive force of the adhesive is so strong that the end of the single-piece label 6 is easily broken and cannot be easily peeled off. If the adhesive strength of the pressure-sensitive adhesive is weakened, it can be peeled off successfully. However, if it is attempted to ensure the adherability to many adherends, it becomes a contradictory requirement. In addition, it is possible to deal with partial labeling printing on the back side of the label. In this case, however, it is necessary to print on almost the entire area of the label sheet 1, which is a great disadvantage in terms of production.

  As a technique for protecting personal information printed on a label, there is a personal information protection sheet disclosed in Patent Document 1 below. In this protective sheet, a release layer and an image receiving layer are laminated on the surface of the substrate, and the image receiving layer is removed from the release layer by rubbing under pressure so that leakage of personal information can be prevented when the protective sheet is discarded. It has become. However, according to this protective sheet, information is removed while rubbing the image receiving layer, which is troublesome. Further, at the time of production, a peeling layer and an image receiving layer must be laminated on the base material, which requires many man-hours and increases material costs, resulting in high production costs.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example in which the label sheet of the present invention is applied to a roll paper for a handy terminal printer.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the label sheet 10 is configured by laminating a long label 20 and a long release paper 30 in a peelable manner. In the longitudinal direction of the label 20, a plurality of cut lines (hereinafter referred to as “label cut lines”) 24, 24,... Are set at predetermined intervals, whereby a plurality of labels 20 are provided via the label cut lines 24. The single-piece labels 26, 26,... Are connected in a detachable manner.

  In the present embodiment, the label sheet 10 is wound in a roll shape with the label 20 on the front side so that the label 20 can be printed with a handy terminal printer. In addition, a timing mark 33 is printed at the leading position of each single-piece label 26 on the release paper 30, and the handy terminal printer detects the timing mark 33 and controls the paper feed amount of the label sheet 10 for printing. Positioning is performed. In addition, the form of the label sheet 10 is not limited to a roll shape, and may be a form in which mountain folding and valley folding are alternately repeated and folded in a zigzag manner.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a cross-sectional structure of the label sheet.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the label sheet 10 is a laminate of a label and a release paper 30, and the label 20 includes a label substrate 21, a thermal layer 22, and an adhesive layer 23. The surface of the label substrate 21 is provided with a thermal layer 22 in which a colorless leuco dye and an acidic substance are dispersed as solid fine particles in a resin binder. When heated with a thermal handy terminal printer, the thermal layer 22 develops color. Can be printed. An adhesive layer 23 coated with an adhesive is provided on the back surface of the label substrate 21. The type of the adhesive is not particularly limited, but in order to ensure that a part of the label remains on the adherend when peeled off, strong adhesion (peel strength: about 500 gf / 25 mm, 180 ° peel method of JIS Z0237) type Are preferred.

  On the other hand, the release paper 30 includes a base material 31 and a release layer 32. A release layer 32 coated with a silicone-based release agent is provided on the surface of the base material 31. By overlapping the release layer 32 with the adhesive layer 23 facing each other, the label 20 and the release paper are formed at the boundary surface between them. 30 is attached so that peeling is possible.

  FIG. 3 is a partially enlarged view of the label sheet as seen from the label side.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the label 20 is subjected to a residue raising process in which both ends in the width direction are cut along the longitudinal direction, and only the release paper 30 is left at both ends in the width direction of the release paper 30. The single-piece label 26 can be easily peeled off. The width W1 of the label 20 may be set in accordance with the printing width of the handy terminal printer. In this embodiment, the width W2 of the release paper 30 is set to about 55 to 66 mm, and the left and right sides of the label 20 are processed to be increased by about 2 mm. The width W1 is about 51 to 56 mm.

  A label cut line 24 is provided at the boundary between the single-piece labels 26, 26. The label cut line 24 is uncut from the slits 24a and uncut by a half cut having a depth reaching the surface of the release paper 30 from the surface of the label 20. The cuts 24b are alternately arranged. In addition, round corners 25 are formed at the four corners of the single-piece label 26 by R-cut processing at the tip of the outermost slit 24a, thereby making it possible to make a knob when the individual single-piece label 26 is peeled off and easy to remove. It has been improved.

  FIG. 4 is a partially enlarged view of the label sheet as viewed from the release paper side. In the figure, the area corresponding to the label on the back side is indicated by a dotted line, and the timing marks shown in FIG. 1 are not shown.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the release paper 30 has a cut line (hereinafter referred to as “first”) formed on the release sheet 30 along the width direction on the leading end side (lower side in the drawing) of the label cut line 24 for each single label 26. 1 and a cut line formed along the width direction on the rear end side (upper side in the drawing) of the label cut line 24 (hereinafter referred to as “second width direction cut line”). .) 35 is set. In the present embodiment, the first width direction cut line 34 and the second width direction cut line 35 are both uncut across the width direction by performing a half cut with a depth reaching the back surface of the label 20 from the back surface of the release paper 30. Consists of continuous slits without cuts.

  As described above, the release paper 30 is connected to the connecting piece 36 disposed in the region corresponding to the boundary portion between the single piece labels 26 and 26 via the first width direction cut line 34 and the second width direction cut line 35. The separation pieces 37 arranged in the region corresponding to the central portion of each single piece label 26 are connected in a detachable manner. The connecting piece 36 serves to keep the single-piece labels 26, 26 until they are used, and when peeled off during use, the adhesive layer 23 of the label 20 is exposed, and the exposed adhesive layer 23 is attached to the adherend. Functions as an adhesive part for pasting. On the other hand, the separation piece 37 is a part that is peeled off together with the information column of the label 20 when the label 20 attached to the adherend is discarded.

  Here, the length L1 from the label cut line 24 to the first width direction cut line 34 and the length L2 from the label cut line 24 to the second width direction cut line 35 are both set to about 2 to 10 mm. Is preferred. This is because if the length is shorter than 2 mm, the area occupied by the connecting piece 36 becomes narrow, and the adhesive force of the adhesive layer 23 after the connecting piece 36 is peeled off is too weak, causing a drop-off at the time of label sticking. On the contrary, if it is longer than 10 mm, the area occupied by the connecting piece 36 becomes wide and the adhesive force at the time of label application increases, but the label portion corresponding to the connecting piece 36 is a portion that cannot be peeled off after being attached to the adherend. In addition, the personal information printed at the label boundary corresponding to this portion remains unremoved, which is not preferable.

  The above is the configuration of the label sheet of the present invention. Next, a method of using this label sheet will be described.

  FIG. 5 is an explanatory view showing a method of use as a single piece label.

  According to the label sheet 10 configured as described above, the label 20 can be used as a single-piece label 26 separated one by one.

  When used as the single-piece label 26, first, as shown in FIG. 5A, the printed label sheet 10 is pulled out from the printer by a predetermined amount, and the connecting piece 36 is peeled off from the release paper 30 on the back surface. Here, since the connecting piece 36 at the leading end of the label sheet is connected to the separating piece 37 by the second width direction cut line 35 formed of a slit without uncut, the connecting piece 36 is separated from the separating piece 37 according to this slit. Can be peeled off.

  Next, the single-piece label 26 is affixed to the adherend 40 as shown in FIG. Since the round corner 25 is formed in the boundary part between the single-piece labels 26 and 26, the label cut line 24 is cut | disconnected by pinching this round corner 25 with a finger | toe, and only the single piece label 26 from the label sheet 10 is cut | disconnected. Separate.

  Then, the separated single-piece label 26 can be attached to the adherend 40 with the adhesive layer 23 exposed at both the upper and lower ends while leaving the separation piece 37 on the back surface. Further, when the single-piece label 26 is attached to the adherend 40, the part of the separation piece 37 left on the back surface of the label can be grasped and handled. For this reason, the trouble that the adhesive layer 23 sticks to the hand does not occur, and it is easy to handle.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 5C, by partially peeling off the single-piece label 26 and discarding it, it is possible to prevent leakage of personal information A printed in the information column 28 on the label surface. Yes. That is, the separation piece 37 protruding outside the single piece label 26 may be pinched with a finger and peeled off along the width direction as shown in the figure.

  As a result, the upper and lower ends of the single-piece label 26 remain adhered to the adherend 40 by the adhesive layer 23 on the back surface, but the information column 28 in the center of the single-piece label 26 is broken, and the separated piece on the back surface. 37 is peeled off from the adherend 40 together with 37. Moreover, since the center part of the single piece label 26 is not stuck to the adherend 40, it can be peeled off from the adherend 40 with a light force. Therefore, the disposal process of the personal information A printed in the information column 28 of the single piece label 26 can be performed with a simple operation.

  FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing a usage method as a continuous label.

  According to the label sheet 10 configured as described above, the label 20 can be used as a continuous label 27 by connecting a plurality of single-piece labels 26.

  When used as the continuous label 27, first, as shown in FIG. 6A, the printed label sheet 10 is pulled out from the printer by a predetermined amount, and the slit of the first width direction cut line 34 is cut while cutting the label cut line 24. Then, the continuous label 27 is separated from the label sheet 10. Further, with respect to the separated continuous label 27, the two connecting pieces 36 and 36 are peeled off according to the slits of the first width direction cut line 34 and the second width direction cut line 35.

  Next, the continuous label 27 is affixed to the adherend 40 as shown in FIG. The continuous label 27 from which the connecting pieces 36 and 36 have been peeled off as described above is covered by the adhesive layer 23 exposed at the center and both upper and lower ends while leaving two separation pieces 37 and 37 on the back surface. It can be affixed to the body 40. In addition, when sticking the continuous label 27 on the adherend 40, the part of the separation piece 37 left on the back surface of the label can be grasped and handled. For this reason, troubles such as the adhesive layer 23 sticking to the hand or the single-piece labels 26 and 26 connected to each other do not occur and are easy to handle.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 5C, by partially peeling off and discarding the continuous label 27, it is possible to prevent leakage of personal information A and B printed in the information column 28 on the label surface. ing. That is, the separation pieces 37 that protrude outward from the single-piece labels 26 may be pinched with fingers and peeled off along the width direction as shown in the figure.

  As a result, the upper and lower end portions and the central portion of the continuous label 27 remain adhered to the adherend 40 by the adhesive layer 23 on the back surface, but the information column 28 in the central portion of each single-piece label 26 is broken. Then, it is peeled off from the adherend 40 together with the separation piece 37 on the back surface. In addition, since the center part of each single-piece label 26 is not sticking to the adherend 40, it can be peeled off from the adherend 40 with a light force. Therefore, the disposal processing of personal information A and B printed in the information column 28 of each single label 26 can be performed with a simple operation.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing another configuration example of the label sheet of the present invention.

  For the present invention, the following configuration may be employed. First, the label sheet 10a shown in FIG. 7 (a) is provided with a portion composed only of the release paper 30 at both ends in the width direction of the release paper 30 by performing a scraping process on both ends in the width direction of the label 20. Uncuts 34b and 35b are formed only on the portion made only of the release paper 30 for both the first width direction cut line 34 and the second width direction cut line 35. Other configurations are the same as those of the label sheet 10 described above.

  According to the label sheet 10a configured in this way, both ends in the width direction of the release paper 30 are connected by the uncuts 34b and 35b and are not easily bent. Therefore, when printing on the label 20 using a printer, There is an effect that smooth running performance can be maintained. The uncuts 34b and 35b may be formed only on one of the first width direction cut line 34 and the second width direction cut line 35.

  Further, one or both of the first width direction cut line 34 and the second width direction cut line 35 may be constituted by perforations in which cuts and uncuts are alternately arranged. When both the first width direction cut line 34 and the second width direction cut line 35 are formed of slits, it may be considered that the cut line which is not relevant when the single-piece label 26 is peeled off is mistakenly cut. Therefore, the label sheet 10b shown in FIG. 7B is provided with the first width direction cut line 34 on condition that the single piece label 26 is peeled off from the corner closer to the first width direction cut line 34. The second width direction cut line 35 is composed of perforations in which cuts 35a and uncuts 35b are alternately arranged to make it difficult to cut.

  According to the label sheet 10b configured as described above, the second width direction cut line 35 on the rear end side in the transport direction is connected by the uncut 35b. The connecting piece 36 can be reliably left at the end on the label sheet side without cutting off the width direction cut line 35.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7C, not only the second width direction cut line 35 but also the first width direction cut line 34 may be formed by perforations in which cuts 34a and uncuts 34b are alternately arranged. Good.

  According to the label sheet 10c configured in this way, all the cut lines on the release paper 30 are connected at the uncut portions 34b and 35b, so that the release paper 30 is printed when printing on the label 20 using a printer. This is advantageous in that it does not turn up and can ensure smoother running performance. When the cut line is perforated, it is difficult to remove the single-piece label 26 if the uncut width is too wide. Therefore, the uncut width W3 is preferably set to 0.5 mm or less.

  As described above, according to the present invention, the information printed on the label surface is prevented from leaking by partially peeling off the single-piece label 26 and the continuous label 27 attached to the adherend 40 and discarding them. However, when it is not necessary to discard the single-piece label 26 or the continuous label 27 attached to the adherend 40, not only the connecting piece 36 but also the separation piece 37 are peeled off together to remove the entire surface. It is also possible to use it by pasting.
