Description

The present invention relates to a method of connecting a no separator type label continuum, in particular, those concerning the method of connecting no separator type label strip for connecting the separated label strip in fragile part by failure or the like during manufacture .

  Conventionally, there is no need for a release paper that has a release layer on one surface and an adhesive layer on the other surface, and where weak portions for separating the label continuous body into label pieces are spaced apart in the longitudinal direction. Separator-type label continuous bodies are widely used (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  And this label continuous body is wound by roll shape, and is set and used for a label sticking machine (what has a printing function as needed).

By the way, such a label continuum may print a printing part such as a predetermined frame or pattern, an identifier such as a barcode, a product name, etc. on the surface on which the release layer of the label is formed. There may be a defect or misalignment of the weak part formed to separate the printed part and the label continuous body into the label pieces.
In addition, the label continuous body may be separated at the weakened part formed in the label continuous body during the manufacture of the label continuous body, or the end of the material may come.
In such a case (in this specification, it is collectively referred to as “defect etc.”), a label continuum of a predetermined length cannot be obtained, so it cannot be handled as a product and discarded, resulting in a high yield. Unfortunately, there was a problem of wasting material.

The no-separator type label continuous body 1 is formed with a peeling layer 1C on one surface of a substrate 1A and an adhesive layer 1B on the other surface, and the weakened portions 11 for separating the label pieces 10 are spaced apart in the longitudinal direction. Although it will not specifically limit if it is open and formed, In the present Example, it is made to provide the printing part 12 in the surface which forms 1C of peeling layers.
Further, a thermosensitive coloring layer and a release layer can be laminated on one surface of the substrate 1A, and an adhesive layer can be provided on the other surface of the substrate 1A.

By the way, during manufacture of the no-separator-type label continuous body 1, the malfunction of the printing part 12 may arise, or the weak part 11 may isolate | separate.
When a defect occurs in the printing unit 12, the label piece 10 cannot be used. Therefore, the weak parts 11 and 11 sandwiching the label piece 10 in which the defect occurs in the printing unit 12 are separated, and the label piece 10 is separated. It is necessary to remove.
In any case, the no-separator type label continuous body 1 used in a continuous state is separated into a plurality of label continuous bodies 1 ′ and 1 ′.

  First, a plurality of (two in this embodiment) label continuums 1 ′ and 1 ′ are separated, and the edges 13 and 13 of the respective label continuums 1 ′ and 1 ′ are opposed to each other. The surface of the release layer 1C is placed on the desktop D side (lower side) and the surface of the adhesive layer 1B is placed on the upper side (see FIGS. 2 (a1) and 2 (a2)).

  Then, the end seals 13 and 13 are butted together, and the adhesive layer 2B of the connection seal piece 2 is the adhesive layer 1B of the label continuous body 1 ′ so as to straddle the label continuous bodies 1 ′ and 1 ′ that are abutted. 2a, and the base material 2A is attached to the adhesive layer 1B of the label continuum 1 ′ so that the substrate 2A faces the adhesive layer 1B of the label continuum 1 ′ (FIG. 2 (b1), FIG. 2). (Refer to (b2)).

If this connection seal piece 2 is stuck across the label continuum 1 ′, 1 ′ where the edge 13 is abutted so as to connect the separated label continuum 1 ′, 1 ′, There is no particular limitation, and as the base material 2A, a synthetic resin film such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, or a thin paper can be used. In this embodiment, a base made of a colorless and transparent synthetic resin film is used. The adhesive layer 2B is provided on at least one surface of the material 2A, and the width dimension W ′ is equal to or less than the width dimension W of the label piece 10 (W = W ′ is preferable, and in this embodiment, W = W ′. The length dimension L ′ is less than twice the length dimension L of the label piece 10 (in this embodiment, L ′ = L), and the thickness thereof is the base material. The thickness t1 of the 2A portion is 6 to 50 μm, The Mashiku 20 to 30 [mu] m, more preferably 25μm or so, the thickness t2 of the portion of the adhesive layer 2B is, 10 to 40 [mu] m, preferably 15 to 25 [mu] m, so that more preferably used of about 20 [mu] m.
Even if the thickness t of the base material 1A, the adhesive layer 1B, and the release layer 1C is adhered to the no-separator type label continuous body 1 having a thickness of about 100 μm, for example, by making the connection seal piece 2 to have the above thickness. When a labeling machine having a printing function performs printing on the release layer 1C, there are only a few steps on the printing surface, and there is no problem with printing.
Further, when sticking, the connection seal pieces 2 are stuck together so that they do not protrude from the label continuum 1 ′.

Next, the fragile portion 11A is formed at a position C of the connection seal piece 2 (a position where the end edges 13 and 13 of the label continuous bodies 1 ′ and 1 ′ are abutted).
The fragile portion 11A is formed so as to be separated at the positions of the end edges 13 and 13 that are abutted in use, and the fragile portion 11A is sandwiched between the upstream side and the downstream side in the longitudinal direction. There is no particular limitation as long as it is configured such that when a tensile stress that is paired is applied, the rupture is started before other portions, and in the thickness direction of the connection seal piece 2 In addition, it can be configured by a predetermined ratio of cuts (for example, cuts of 20 to 30 μm with respect to a thickness of 45 μm) or perforations (FIGS. 2C1 and 2C2). reference).

The continuous label 1 separated in the weakened portion 11 by the above method ', 1' to each other are connected, node on a separator-type continuous label 1 is configured with a new fragile portion 11A.

  According to this no-separator-type label continuous body 1, even if it is a no-separator-type label continuous body in which a defect or the like has occurred during manufacturing, a label continuous body 1 having a predetermined length without any defect can be obtained.

  The connection method of this no-separator type label continuous body has the peeling layer 1C on one surface and the adhesive layer 1B on the other surface, and the weakened portions 11 for separating the label pieces 10 are spaced apart in the longitudinal direction. The label continuums 1 ′ and 1 ′ separated at the fragile portion 11 are formed on the at least one surface and have an adhesive layer 2 </ b> B, and the label continuum 1 is separated into label pieces 10. A label continuum 1 ′ that is connected by a connection seal piece 2 that forms a fragile portion 11B and that abuts the edge 13 of the label continuum 1 ′ separated at the fragile portion 11 and abuts the edges 13 and 13. 1 ′, the adhesive layer 2B of the connection seal piece 2 faces the opposite side of the adhesive layer 1B of the label continuous body 1 ′ and the edge 13 of the label continuous body 1 ′ is pushed so as to straddle 1 ′ Together The label continuums 1 ′ and 1 ′ are attached to each other by sticking them through the adhesive layer 1B of the label continuum 1 ′ so that the weakened portion 11B formed on the connection seal piece 2 comes to the position C. I try to connect.

Connection seal segments 2 for use in the method of connecting no separator type label continuum, as in the above example, the label continuum 1 are separated ', 1' to connect were butted edges 13, 13 It is not particularly limited as long as it is pasted over the label continuums 1 'and 1', and a synthetic resin film such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, or thin paper is used as the base 2A. However, in this reference example, the adhesive layer 2B is provided on at least one surface of the base material 2A made of a colorless and transparent synthetic resin film, and the width dimension W ′ is equal to or less than the width dimension W of the label piece 10 (W = W ′ is preferable, and in this reference example, W = W ′ is set.), The length dimension L ′ is less than twice the length dimension L of the label piece 10 (in this reference example, So that L ′ = L The thickness t1 of the base material 2A is 6 to 50 μm, preferably 20 to 30 μm, more preferably about 25 μm, and the thickness t2 of the adhesive layer 2B is 10 to 40 μm. The thickness is preferably 15 to 25 μm, more preferably about 20 μm.
Even if the thickness t of the base material 1A, the adhesive layer 1B, and the release layer 1C is adhered to the no-separator type label continuous body 1 having a thickness of about 100 μm, for example, by making the connection seal piece 2 to have the above thickness. When a labeling machine having a printing function performs printing on the release layer 1C, there are only a few steps on the printing surface, and there is no problem with printing.
Further, when sticking, the connection seal pieces 2 are stuck together so that they do not protrude from the label continuum 1 ′.

Further, the connecting seal piece 2 is previously formed with a fragile portion 11B for separating the no-separator-type label continuous body 1 into the label pieces 10.
The fragile portion 11B starts to break before other portions when a pair of tensile stresses are applied to the upstream and downstream sides in the longitudinal direction across the fragile portion 11B. If it is formed in the width direction of the connection seal piece 2, it will not specifically limit, The notch part of the predetermined ratio with respect to the thickness of the connection seal piece 2 in the thickness direction of the connection seal piece 2 ( For example, it can be constituted by a notch of 20 to 30 μm with respect to a thickness of 45 μm) or a perforation M (see FIG. 3C1).

Further, the fragile portion 11B is configured by perforating a large number of small holes H in a band shape in the width direction and the length direction of the connection seal piece 2 (see FIG. 3 (c2)), or similar to the entire surface of the connection seal piece 2. Or a uniaxially stretched film as the material of the connection seal piece 2 so that the edge 13 of the label continuous body abutted against the stretching direction is parallel to the material. it can.
Furthermore, by forming the edge in the width direction of the connection seal piece 2 in a sawtooth shape (not shown), the breakage can be easily started.
Accordingly, it is not necessary to accurately align the position C where the weakened portion 11B of the connection seal piece 2 and the edge 13 of the label continuous body 1 ′ are abutted (in this case as well, the end of the weakest label continuous body 1 ′). It can be made to break at the fragile portion 11B at the position C where the edge 13 is abutted), and the workability can be improved.

Next, a specific connection method will be described with reference to FIG.
First, as in the above embodiment, it is separated a plurality (two in the present embodiment) continuous label 1 ', 1' becomes, each of the continuous label 1 ', 1' edge 13 of 13 is placed with the surface of the release layer 1C facing the desktop D side (lower side) and the surface of the adhesive layer 1B facing upward (see FIGS. 3 (a1) and 3 (a2)).

The end seals 13 and 13 are butted together, and the connection seal piece 2 in which the weakened portion 11B is formed so as to straddle the label continuous bodies 1 ′ and 1 ′, the adhesive layer 2B of the connection seal piece 2 is a label continuous body. It sticks through the adhesive layer 1B of the label continuum 1 ′ so that the opposite side of the 1 ′ adhesive layer 1B faces and the base material 2A faces the adhesive layer 1B of the label continuum 1 ′ (FIG. 3). (B1), see FIG. 3 (b2)).
At this time, the fragile portion 11B of the connection seal piece 2 is adhered to the position C where the end edge 13 of the label continuous body 1 ′ is abutted. As described above, the fragile portion 11B is perforated in the width direction. When using a uniaxially stretched film as the material of the connection seal piece 2 and making the edge of the continuous label body 13 abutted against the stretched direction to be parallel, There is no need for alignment.

The continuous label 1 separated in the weakened portion 11 by the above method ', 1' to each other are connected, node on a separator-type continuous label 1 is configured with a new fragile portion 11B.
