JP5718762B2 - Circular display tag and method of using the same - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to a display tag and a method for using the same, and more particularly to a strip-shaped display tag and an effective method for using the same.

  Various ideas have been made for various products to add product descriptions and price information. A label is mentioned as a typical display method. The label is neatly designed and printed with a description of the product. Further, for example, a label printed with a product price by an electronic printer functions as a display of product price information.

Personal items are not always easy to label. Items that are not suitable for sticking adhesives such as clothing, items that have many irregularities on the surface and that do not stick labels, items that have a cubic curved surface and labels that do not fit, items that cannot secure a place to stick labels like sticks, etc. There is. For these products, information is displayed by a method other than the label used with an adhesive.
For example, in the case of clothing, thick paper with a waist is used for displaying brand names, logos, prices, and materials. Many of these are rectangular cardboards called brand tags (product tags) and tag tags, and are attached using threaded buttonholes or the like through threaded holes in the center near the edges. This type of tag is also applied to an object that is thin and long, such as a branch of a plant, and to which an adhesive label is difficult to stick.

  However, when a product tag for clothing using cardboard and thread is attached to the product, only the front or back side can be seen. To read both-sided characters, it is necessary to turn it over by hand, and it cannot be said that the effect of appealing to consumers who are shopping is sufficient. As a label for plants, there is a method to wrap the end of a strip-shaped sheet around a branch and fasten it in a ring shape with a stapler or double-sided tape, etc. Although the characters written in (2) look good, the information on the other side is hidden behind tags and stick-shaped articles and cannot be seen well, so only one side can be used as the information display area.

  The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-described problem, and allows the front and back surfaces of the display tag to be visually recognized together, and is easily noticeable and has a high appealing effect, and a method of using the same The purpose is to provide.

Ring-shaped indication tag of the present invention has been made in order to achieve the above object, at least one of the front and back sides becomes the variable information from the printable strip-shaped sheet in the electronic printer, near one end of the indication tag back surface The adhesive part which consists of an adhesive layer is provided in this, The adhesive part was affixed on the other end part of the back surface of a display tag, and the Moebius loop was formed.
Using the ring-like indication tag of the present invention will become information to at least one of the front and back sides from the recorded strip-shaped sheet, indication tag the adhesive portion of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer in the vicinity of one end portion of the rear surface is formed How to use. The display tag is circulated around the rod-shaped attached body, and the adhesive part on the back of the display tag is attached to the other end of the back of the display tag in a state of being rotated, and a Mobius loop-shaped annular display tag is created. It is characterized by being attached to a rod-shaped attached body and displaying information.

  According to the annular display tag and the method of using the same of the present invention, both the front and back surfaces of the display tag can be viewed together from the same viewpoint. By adopting the Mobius loop shape, it looks three-dimensional and is easily noticeable, and a high appealing effect can be obtained. In addition, since the Mobius loop is one line, even if there is a front and back on the display tag before forming the loop, after forming the loop, the front and back surfaces will be lost, and information on either side will be fair The effect of being seen is obtained. When a stick-shaped attached object is outdoors, such as a tree branch, the looped shape of the annular display tag hung on the branch changes due to the wind, and the part visible on the outer surface and the part visible on the inner surface are sometimes switched. , It is possible to show all the information. Moreover, the installation work is also easy. The protruding rod-shaped member only needs to be hung after being formed into an annular shape. When the rod-shaped member is long and cannot be hung from the end, it may be formed in an annular shape after it is circulated in the middle of the rod-shaped member. To form the ring, it is simple to pick one end of the strip-shaped display tag, twist it half turn, and bond it to the other end.

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

  FIG. 1 shows a continuous body of a display tag 2 which is a base of the annular display tag 1 of the present invention, and FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the annular display tag 1 of the present invention. 1A is a plan view of the continuous body of the display tag 2 as viewed from the front surface, which is the printing surface, FIG. 1B is a plan view of the continuous body of the display tag 2 as viewed from the back surface, and FIG. It is the cc sectional view taken on the line of Fig.1 (a).

  The display tag 2 is a thermal film in which a thermal layer that develops color by heating is provided on one side of a PET film. The thermal layer side is a front surface 10 and the opposite side is a back surface 20. A surface 10 of the display tag 2 is a printing surface on which variable information 11 such as characters, images, and barcodes is to be printed by an electronic printer described later. The display tag 2 continuum is provided with a perforation 9 for separation at a predetermined interval, and a unit between the perforation 9 and the perforation 9 is a display tag 2.

  An adhesive portion 8 is formed on the end portion 3 on the rear surface of the display tag 2 of one unit. The adhesive portion 8 is affixed with a double-sided adhesive tape 7 composed of an adhesive 5 and a mount 6 that covers the adhesive 5. The other end 4 is provided with a timing mark 12 indicating the interval of the display tag. That is, the adhesive portion 8 and the timing mark 12 are in a positional relationship with the perforation 9 interposed therebetween. The space between the adhesive portion 8 and the timing mark 12 on the back surface 20 of the display tag 2 is an area where the information 21 can be preprinted. Information 21 in FIG. 1 is an example in which a description of a product and a cautionary note are printed.

  When the display tag 2 of one unit is cut off and the adhesive 5 is pasted on the end 4 of the back surface 20 with the end 3 of the back surface 20 twisted half a turn, a Mobius loop shape is formed, and the annular display of the present invention shown in FIG. Bill 1 is completed.

  When different pieces of information 11 are written on the continuum of the display tag 2, the continuum is wound to create a roll of the display tag continuum, which is set on the electronic printer 50 shown in FIG. . Hereinafter, an operation of printing variable information by the electronic printer and an operation of forming the annular display tag 1 will be described.

  FIG. 3 shows a schematic side view of the electronic printer 50. The electronic printer 50 includes a supply unit 51 for supplying the display tag 2 and a printing unit 61 in a housing 52. A continuous roll 2 a of the display tag 2 is rotatably supported on the shaft 55 of the supply unit 51. A guide bar 56, a paper sensor 57 for detecting the presence or absence of a continuous body of the display tag 10, and a pitch sensor 58 for detecting the label interval are attached along the travel route of the display tag 10. The downstream printing unit 61 includes a platen roller 62, a thermal head 63 that presses and holds the continuous body of the display tag 10 together with the platen roller 62, and a cutter unit 64 downstream thereof. The housing 52 is provided with an issue port 65 adjacent to the cutter unit 64.

  When the platen roller 62 rotates, the display tag 2 unwound from the continuous roll 2a reaches the printing unit 61 through the guide bar 56, the paper sensor 57, and the pitch sensor 58, and the heat generated by the thermal head 63 is generated on each display tag 2. Images such as characters and barcodes are printed by scanning. The display tag 2 on which the information 11 has been printed is discharged from the issuing port 65 to the outside while continuing. When the perforation 9 is used for separation, one unit of the display tag 2 is obtained. If there is no perforation 9 on the display tag 2, it may be discharged after being cut by a cutter unit 64 attached to the printer 50.

The printed label 2 is used as follows.
The separator 6 of the adhesive part 8 is peeled off to expose the adhesive layer 5. The end 3 of the back surface 20 where the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 5 is exposed is grasped and attached to the end 4 of the same back surface 20 while being rotated halfway. Then, the Mobius loop-shaped annular display tag 1 shown in FIG. 2 is completed. The completed circular display tag 1 is used by being hung on a branch 71 of a tree 70 as shown in FIG.

  The Mobius loop is a solid with one surface and one line, and the front and back surfaces are continuous. The annular display tag 1 hung on the branch 71 has a continuous surface called the front surface 10 or the rear surface 20 before forming the ring, and information 11 printed by the electronic printer 50 and information 21 printed beforehand by the printing machine. And both are exposed. For this reason, since the information 11 and the information 21 can be seen simultaneously from any angle around the annular display tag 1, the information can be easily noticed and an appealing effect with a high display content can be obtained.

  Further, when attached to the branch 71 of the tree 70 displayed outdoors like a seedling of a gardening store, the annular display tag 1 is blown by the wind and the visible part is shifted naturally. In this case, various parts of the annular display tag 1 can be seen without manpower.

  Moreover, the branch 71 of the tree 70 may be long and may not reach the tip. In such a case, the strip-shaped display tag 2 is made to circulate around the branch 71, and the adhesive portion 8 of the display tag 2 is attached to the other end portion in the circulated state so that the Mobius loop-shaped annular display tag 1 is attached. What is necessary is just to form.

  FIG. 5 shows another method of use. The figure shows an example in which annular display tags 1 finished in a Mobius loop shape are arranged on an exhibition stand 72, and the annular display tag 1 is used as a substitute for a flyer or a leaflet. Compared with a leaflet made of flat paper, the ring-shaped display tag 1 rich in three-dimensionality is easily noticeable and conspicuous. Therefore, the rate of being brought home is high, and a high advertising effect can be obtained.

  It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and it is obvious that each embodiment can be appropriately changed within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention. In addition, the number, position, shape, arrangement, and the like of the above-described constituent members are not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be set to a suitable number, position, shape, and the like for carrying out the present invention.

  In this embodiment, when processing the display tag 2, the timing mark 12 and information 21 (notes, etc.) are printed in the same color on the back surface 20 by using a printing machine, and the front surface 10 is printed by the electronic printer 50. Although printing was performed on the thermal layer, the contents and the number of colors of the information 11 to be printed by the printing machine are arbitrary. Further, the perforation 9 for separation is provided for each unit of the display tag 2, but the perforation 9 may be omitted. In this case, the cutter unit 64 attached to the electronic printer 50 may be used for separation.

  In the previous embodiment, PET thermal paper based on a PET film was used as a sheet constituting the annular label 1, but it was not limited to the type or material, but based on synthetic paper based on PP. Synthetic paper thermal or general thermal paper based on paper may be used. In addition to the thermal coloring method, a thermal transfer method can also be used. In this case, what is generally used as a display tag can be used. For example, a paper substrate such as fine paper, coated paper, art paper, synthetic resin film made of PET (polyethylene terephthalate), PE (polyethylene), PP (polypropylene), PS (polystyrene), or the above synthetic resin A composite sheet obtained by combining a plurality of types and a synthetic resin film and paper can also be used. Furthermore, a ribbon-like cloth, a woven cloth, and a non-woven cloth can also be used.

  The pressure-sensitive adhesive of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 6 of the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 7 is, for example, an emulsion system (in which the pressure-sensitive adhesive is dispersed in water), a solvent system (in which the pressure-sensitive adhesive is dissolved in a solvent), or a hot melt system (using thermoplasticity). Etc.). Examples of the material include adhesives such as synthetic rubber, natural rubber, acrylic resin, polyvinyl ether resin, urethane resin, and silicone resin. The adhesive strength of the adhesive is arbitrary, but it is desirable to use a permanent adhesive type adhesive called so-called strong adhesion.
