In the packaging box which assembled the expansion | deployment figure of FIG. 1, it is a figure which shows an external appearance when it is set as the state which opened the cut and can see the information regarding the individual of an inner surface from the outside. It is a figure which shows an example of the expanded view used as the origin of the packaging box of embodiment. It is a figure which shows the external appearance of the packaging box formed by assembling the expanded view cut out from the sheet | seat of FIG. It is a figure which shows the sheet | seat on which the expanded view of the modification which made the protrusion piece smaller than the example of FIG. 3 was printed. It is a figure which shows the example of the system and process from preparation of the packaging box of embodiment to dispatch of the goods packaged using it.

  FIG. 1 shows an example of a developed view of a conventional packaging box having information on an individual printed on the inner surface. This packaging box is a closed box consisting of six rectangular walls. FIG. 1 is a developed view of the inner side of the packaging box.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the packaging box includes a bottom plate 12, an upper plate 14, a front plate 16, a rear plate 18, an upper flap 20a and a lower flap 20b that constitute the left side, an upper flap 22a that constitutes the right side, and It consists of a lower flap 22b. Three outer peripheries of the bottom plate 12 are connected to the rear plate 18 and the lower flaps 20b and 22b, respectively, and an adhesive margin piece 24 for bonding to the front plate 16 is connected to the remaining one outer periphery. ing. Further, the outer periphery of the top plate 14 is connected to the front plate 16, the rear plate 18, and the upper flaps 20a and 22a, respectively. Further, adhesive margin pieces 26 a and 26 b are connected to the left and right sides of the front plate 16, respectively, and adhesive margin pieces 28 a and 28 b are connected to the left and right sides of the rear plate 18, respectively.

  The developed view of FIG. 1 is printed on one sheet. The developed view is cut out along the outer peripheral line, whereby the developed view sheet shown in FIG. 1 is formed.

  1 is folded at right angles along the folds at the boundary with other face plates or flaps, and the adhesive margin piece 24 is joined with the front plate 16. Bonding, pasting margin pieces 26a and 28a to lower flap 20b and upper flap 20a, pasting margin pieces 26b and 28b to lower flap 22b and upper flap 22a, a closed hexahedral packaging box is formed. The

  As shown in FIG. 1, the upper surface plate 14 and the front surface plate 16 are formed with a U-shaped perforation 30 which becomes a cut for separation. The perforation 30 is formed by making holes in the sheet intermittently along the line. In the area inside the perforation 30 of the top plate 14, information 32 related to the individual is printed. In the example of FIG. 1, the information 32 related to the individual is a message addressed to the individual who is the destination of the item packaged by the packaging box, but this is only an example. For example, the information may be information other than the message related to the destination individual, such as a name, an address, and a barcode indicating a link to a web page specially created for the individual. This development is assembled so that the information 32 about this individual is on the inside of the packaging box.

  After assembling the developed view of FIG. 1 into a closed box, as shown in FIG. 2, the front plate 16 and the upper plate 14 are cut along the perforation 30, and the cut portions are cut along the crease line 34. When folded back to the outside of the packaging box 10, information 32 related to the individual on the inner surface can be read from the outside.

  An organization such as a company that creates such a packaging box 10 (ie, closes the box with goods packed therein) or delivers the packaging box 10 to an individual corresponding to the information 32 on the inner surface. Must be shipped correctly. However, after the packaging box 10 is assembled and closed, the information 32 on the inner surface cannot be read until the destination individual cuts the perforation, so that information 32 cannot be referred to. Printing information that identifies the individual of the destination on the outer surface of the packaging box 10 is useful for handling the finished packaging box 10 for shipping and other purposes, but such printing on the outer surface only impairs the appearance of the packaging box 10. Instead, in producing the development sheet, it is necessary to print both sides of the development sheet for information 32 on the inner surface side and information for identifying an individual on the outer surface side. For double-sided printing, it is necessary to use an apparatus for double-sided printing or to print one side at a time, which requires capital investment or labor.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, a box structure is employed in which information 32 related to an individual displayed on the inner surface of the packaging box 10 and information specifying an individual used in handling such as shipping work can be printed by single-sided printing. To do.

  An example of a developed view of the packaging box of this embodiment is shown in FIG. 3, the same components as those shown in FIG. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.

  In the developed view shown in FIG. 3, an overhanging piece 40 extends from a side 44 on the side of the outer periphery of the front plate 16 that is bonded to the adhesive margin piece 24 of the bottom plate 12. The other outer peripheries of the front plate 16 are connected to members for performing the box function of the top plate 14 and the left and right adhesive margin pieces 26a and 26b, respectively, so that they are vacant (the connected face plates and adhesive margin pieces). The projecting piece 40 is formed so as to be connected to the side 44. From another point of view, this side 44 is a side exposed to the outside of the packaging box 10 after assembly if there is no overhanging piece 40. The projecting piece 40 connected to the side 44 projects to the outside of the assembled packaging box 10.

  The overhanging piece 40 is printed with information 42 for identifying an individual who is the destination of the information 32 printed on the top plate 14. The surface on which the information 32 is printed on the upper surface plate 14 and the surface on which the information 42 is printed on the overhanging piece 40 are on the same surface in the development view sheet. Therefore, the information 32 and the information 42 can be printed by one-sided printing.

  In the example of FIG. 3, an address and a name for identifying an individual are printed on the projecting piece 40 as the information 42, but the information 42 to be printed is not limited to this. For example, instead of or in addition to such information, other types of information regarding the person (for example, an identification number or an image code such as a bar code representing the identification number) may be printed. In addition, in addition to such information 42 related to the individual, the overhanging piece 40 includes information on instructions regarding handling / post-processing on the development sheet and the packaging box in the post-printing process (for example, up to the shipping operation). Alternatively, information relating to work in the post process such as a check list for process check in the post process may be printed. In addition, an image code indicating identification information of the packaging box itself may be printed, and at the time of completion check of each process after printing, the image code may be read by a reading device and registered in the system so that process management can be performed. .

  3 is assembled, the packaging box 10 illustrated in FIG. 4 is obtained. This packaging box 10 is in a state where the perforation 30 is not cut open, and the information 32 related to the individual printed on the inner surface side of the upper surface plate 14 is the bottom surface plate 12, the upper surface plate 14, the front surface plate 16, the rear surface plate. 18 and the upper and lower flaps 20a, 20b, 22a, 22b are located inside the closed box constituted by the left and right side surfaces and are invisible. However, in the packaging box 10 of this embodiment, the overhanging piece 40 extended from the front plate 16 protrudes outside the closed box, and the overhanging piece 40 is connected to the individual who is the destination object of the internal information 32. Information 42 relating to the same individual is printed. Therefore, an operator who handles the packaging box 10 after assembling the packaging box 10 confirms the individual who is the object of the packaging box 10 by referring to the information 42 of the projecting piece 40. For example, work corresponding to the individual is executed.

  The overhanging piece 40 is used for confirmation in each process up to the shipping operation, and is not necessary for the person who is the destination of the packaging box 10, and it is better not to be used for the purpose of the packaging box 10. For this purpose, after the final confirmation at the time of shipment, the overhanging piece 40 may be cut out and the packaging box 10 without the overhanging piece 40 may be shipped out. In the packaging box 10 illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4, a perforation line is formed on the side 44 of the boundary between the front plate 16 and the overhanging piece 40 as a cut line in order to assist the separation work of the overhanging piece 40. May be.

  Further, the overhanging piece 40 is formed on the same sheet as the other face plate, glue margin piece, etc. of the developed view. However, a sticker that can be peeled off and reattached to the printing surface side of the overhanging piece 40 like a tack seal. May be pasted, and information 42 specifying the individual of the destination may be printed on this sticker. In this case, for example, when the packaging box 10 is shipped, the packaging box 10 is wrapped with, for example, a delivery outer box or wrapping paper, and the seal is pasted on the surface of the protective box or wrapping paper, as destination information for delivery. It can also be used.

  In the example of FIGS. 3 and 4, the projecting piece 40 has the same lateral width as the front plate 16, but the dimension of the projecting piece 40 is not particularly limited. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 5, a projecting piece 40 a having a narrower width than the front plate 16 may be used.

  The overhanging piece 40 may be provided on a surface other than the front plate 16. If there is a face plate having an outer periphery that is not connected to another face plate or glue piece necessary for assembling the closed packaging box 10, the projecting piece 40 may be provided so as to extend from the outer periphery of the face plate. it can. However, even if it is such an outer periphery, if the overhanging piece 40 is extended from the outside that is not exposed to the outside of the packaging box 10 closed after assembly, the overhanging piece 40 enters the inside of the packaging box 10 during assembly. It is inappropriate. Therefore, the overhanging piece 40 is provided for the outer periphery exposed to the outside after assembly. For example, in the example of the developed view of FIG. 3, the side 50 of the lower flap 20b is covered with the upper flap 20a when assembled (see FIG. 4), and thus the projecting piece 40 is not provided on the side 50. . On the other hand, the sides 52 and 54 of the upper flap 20a are not connected to other face plates or paste pieces, and are exposed to the outside of the packaging box 10 after assembly, so that the protruding pieces 40 are connected to these sides. May be.

  With reference to FIG. 6, the example of the system and process from preparation of the packaging box 10 of embodiment to shipment of the goods packaged using it is demonstrated.

  In this system, information related to orders from customers is registered in the database 60. The information on each order includes customer identification information, information for specifying an order item, name and address of a destination, information on a message to be printed on the inner surface of the packaging box, and the like. The printing device 62 has a contour line and a crease line in a developed view as illustrated in FIG. 3 or FIG. 5 with respect to one surface (surface which becomes the inner surface side of the box) of a sheet such as cardboard which is a material of the packaging box. To print. At this time, the printing device 62 reads the destination address and message information about the order from the database 60, and prints the destination information at the position of the overhanging piece 40 and the message at the position of the top plate 16, respectively. The print result inspection device 64 inspects the printed sheet for printing errors. For example, the print result inspection device 64 reads the information 32 printed on the top plate 16 and the information 42 printed on the overhanging piece 40 to recognize characters, and the recognized character string information is registered in the database 60. By matching with the information, it is confirmed whether there are any errors in the print results of the information 32 and 42 and whether the information 32 and 42 correspond to the same order. If an error is found in this confirmation, the sheet is not passed on to subsequent processes. The print result may be inspected visually. In both the inspection by the apparatus and the visual inspection, the information 32 and 42 to be inspected are printed on the same side of the sheet, so that only one side of the sheet needs to be inspected.

  The sheet whose printing result is determined to be correct by the printing result inspection apparatus 64 is delivered to the post-processing system 66. The post-processing system 66 includes, for example, a cutting machine, a perforation cutter, a box making machine, and the like. The post-processing system 66 cuts the sheet along the contour line of the development view, cuts the perforation 30 and the perforation along the side 44 for cutting out the overhanging piece 40, and folds the cut development view. Glue and assemble into a box shape. At this time, at least one mouth (for example, the left or right side) is opened without gluing in order to put the item. The semi-finished product of the packaging box 10 created in this way is sent to the packaging process 68.

  In the packaging step 68, the ordered item is put into the packaging box 10 and the packaging box 10 is completely closed. At this time, by referring to the information 42 on the destination individual printed on the overhanging piece 40 of the packaging box 10 or by reading it with a barcode reader or the like, the packaging box 10 and the item put in it match. Check if it is. The packaging box 10 in which the goods are put and closed is sent to the shipping process 70.

  In the shipping process 70, the projecting piece 40 is cut out from the packaging box 10, and the cut packaging box 10 is wrapped with a shipping outer box or wrapping paper, and a destination seal is attached to the outer box or wrapping paper. Is done. At this time, whether or not the destination sticker is correct may be confirmed by abutting the cut-out protruding piece 40 with the destination seal. Further, as described above, the destination information 42 may be printed as a seal on the overhanging piece 40 itself, and the seal may be peeled off and attached to an outer box or the like.

  In the above example, the case where the destination of the packaging box 10 is an individual has been described as a typical example, but the destination of the packaging box 10 may of course be an organization or organization such as a company.
