Description

  The present invention relates to a labeled container.

  Some merchandise containers are provided with a shrink label with a display such as advertising / product identification (for example, merchandise name, design, ingredient display, manufacturer name, etc.) attached to the container body. Furthermore, for example, in order to prevent unintentional opening of the container, there is a case in which a shrink label is attached across the container body and the cap. In this case, when the user identifies and purchases the product by displaying the shrink label advertisement / product identification, etc., and opens the container, the user responds to the cap with a cutting aid line such as a perforation provided on the shrink label. Remove the shrink label, remove the cap and use the product.

  In addition to displaying the shrink label, in addition to displaying the shrink label, a tuck label (display label) with a promotion / advertising such as a product information or a prize guide is provided to enhance the advertising function of the product or increase the user's willingness to purchase the product. It may be attached to the container separately. An example of such a display label is a POP label (or eye catch label). The POP label is attached in a state where the POP label is floated from the container, for example, by projecting a part thereof from the end of the container (for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).

The drawings referred to in the embodiments are schematically described, and the dimensional ratios of the components drawn in the drawings may be different from the actual products. Specific dimensional ratios and the like should be determined in consideration of the following description.

  Below, the containers 11 and 51 which are eye drop containers filled with eye drops are illustrated as containers to which labels that are examples of embodiments of the present invention are attached. However, due to the configuration of the present invention, the container is not limited to the eye drop container, and containers having various contents, shapes, and sizes can be used. Particularly suitable uses of the label according to the present invention include uses in which warning indications exist, such as pharmaceuticals / quasi drugs, cleaning agents, chemicals, and the like.

  In the following description, “substantially **” is intended to include “substantially the same” as an example, including “substantially the same” and “substantially the same”. In the labeled container, the direction in which the container main body and the cap are arranged is “up-down direction”, and the cap side is “up”. A surface substantially along the vertical direction of the container is referred to as a “side surface”.

  First, the structure of the labeled container 10 which is an example of embodiment of this invention is explained in full detail, referring FIGS. 1 to 3 show a labeled container 10. 4 to 6 show a label 12 constituting the labeled container 10 and a state before being attached to the container 11. In FIG. 5, dots are given to the portions where the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 is exposed and has adhesiveness. In FIG. 6, the sealing label 20 and the display label 30 are shown separately for the sake of clarity of the drawing. Before the label 12 is attached to the container 11, the display label 30 is indicated by a one-dot chain line of the sealing label 20. It is stuck in the range shown.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the labeled container 10 includes a container 11 and a label 12 attached to the container 11. The container 11 is an eye drop container as described above, and includes a container main body 13 filled with contents and a cap 14 attached to the container main body 13. The label 12 includes a sealing label 20 attached to cover the side surface of the container 11, and a display label 30 attached on the sealing label 20. That is, the label 12 is a sealed label with a display label.

  The container 11 has a substantially cylindrical shape as a whole. That is, the side surface of the container 11 has a substantially arc shape. The container main body 13 is a nozzle portion (not shown) in which a portion filled with contents (hereinafter referred to as “filling portion”) has a substantially cylindrical shape, and a screw groove is formed in a portion hidden by the cap 14. Have The cap 14 is a so-called screw cap, and is screwed into the nozzle portion to close an opening formed at the tip of the nozzle portion. In the present embodiment, the diameter (peripheral length) of the filling portion of the container body 13 is slightly larger than the diameter of the cap 14. In addition, a shoulder portion 15 having a diameter (perimeter) that decreases as it approaches the cap 14 is formed at the upper portion of the filling portion, and the circumference changes due to the shoulder portion 15 on the side surface of the container 11. There is a step. Further, the cap 14 has a shape that is slightly reduced in diameter as it approaches the upper end. The container 11 may be in a form that does not have the shoulder 15. For example, the diameter of the container body 13 may be the same along the vertical direction, the diameter of the cap 14 may be smaller than the container body 13, and a step on the side surface may exist at the boundary between the container body 13 and the cap 14.

  The label 12 includes the sealing label 20 and the display label 30 as described above. The sealing label 20 is a label that prevents unintentional opening of the container 11 and guarantees an unopened state, and is mounted across the container body 13 and the cap 14. The display label 30 is displayed by the printed layer 33 (characters “CAUTION” are shown in FIG. 1), and a part of the label is lifted from the container 11 so as to easily attract the user's attention. It is stuck on.

  In the label 12, the sealing label 20 follows the shape of the container 11 and is mounted so as to cover the entire container side surface which is a curved surface. That is, the sealing label 20 is wound around the container 11 to form a cylinder, and covers the boundary portion between the container main body 13 (filling part) and the cap 14 over the entire length. Further, the sealing label 20 is mounted from the peripheral edge of the upper surface of the cap 14 to the peripheral edge of the lower surface of the container main body 13, thereby preventing the label from being detached or displaced. The display label 30 covers at least a part of the cutting auxiliary lines (horizontal perforation lines (transverse cutting auxiliary lines) 24a, vertical perforation lines 24b, 24c) formed on the sealing label 20, and is attached to the sealing label 20. Has been. That is, in the labeled container 10, by peeling the display label 30, the cutting auxiliary line concealed by the display label 30 appears, and the container 11 can be opened (see FIG. 3).

  Hereinafter, the configurations of the sealing label 20 and the display label 30 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6 (the label 12 before being attached to the container 11). Here, the “lateral direction” of the label corresponds to the “circumferential direction” when it is wound around the container 11 to form a cylinder.

[Sealing label 20]
As shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the heat-shrinkable sealing label 20 includes a heat-shrinkable label substrate 21. In this embodiment, the adhesive layer 22 formed on the label base material 21 and the glue suppressing layer 23 formed on the adhesive layer 22 are further provided. That is, the sealing label 20 is a so-called shrink tack label. The glue suppressing layer 23 is preferably formed on a portion of the sealing label 20 to be attached to the cap 14 of the container 11 (hereinafter referred to as “cap covering portion 20 m”). 14 to prevent adhesion. Since the cap 14 is reduced in diameter toward the upper side, a good wearing form following the shape of the cap 14 can be obtained by thermally shrinking the cap covering portion 20m without bonding, and when the user uses it. The cap covering portion 20m can be easily removed from the cap 14 by the cutting auxiliary line.

  The sealing label 20 does not have the adhesive suppressing layer 23 in a portion (hereinafter referred to as “main body covering portion 20n”) attached to the container main body 13, and the adhesive layer 22 is exposed in the main body covering portion 20n. Thereby, the adhesion area | region 22a (refer FIG. 5) is formed in the back surface of the sealing label 20, and the sealing label 20 can be stuck on the container main body 13. FIG. In addition, it is suitable to form adhesive regions 22b and 22c (see FIG. 5) where the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 is exposed in a part of the cap covering portion 20m. The adhesion region 22b is provided in a part of one end portion in the lateral direction of the cap covering portion 20m, and the adhesion region 22c is provided in the other end portion in the lateral direction of the cap covering portion 20m along the vertical direction. The adhesive region 22b is used to temporarily fix the cap covering portion 20m to the cap 14, and the adhesive region 22c is the other end in the lateral direction of the cap covering portion 20m when the sealing label 20 is wound around the container 11 to form a cylinder. Is attached to one end in the horizontal direction.

  The sealing label 20 preferably has a printing layer (not shown) for providing a display such as advertisement / product identification (hereinafter referred to as “sealing label printing layer” to distinguish it from the printing layer 33). The sealing label printing layer may be formed on the surface of the label substrate 21 (the surface facing the side opposite to the container 11), or the back surface (the surface facing the container 11 side) from the viewpoint of preventing scratches, for example, a label It may be formed between the base material 21 and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22. In addition, when forming a sealing label printing layer on the surface of the label base material 21, it is preferable to provide a surface protective layer. The sealed label printing layer is formed by applying a printing ink containing a desired pigment or dye on the label substrate 21 according to a target display formation pattern, and then solidifying the ink component by drying or UV irradiation. Formed with. The printing method is not particularly limited, and examples include gravure printing, flexographic printing, letterpress printing, and the like.

  A conventionally known resin film can be applied to the label substrate 21. Resin films include thermoplastic resins such as polyester resins (polyethylene terephthalate, polylactic acid, etc.), polyolefin resins (polyethylene, polypropylene, etc.), polystyrene resins (styrene-butadiene copolymers, etc.), and polyvinyl chloride resins. A single layer or a laminated film composed of one kind selected from the above or a mixture of two or more kinds can be exemplified. The thickness of the label substrate 21 is not particularly limited, but is preferably 10 μm to 100 μm, more preferably 15 μm to 80 μm, and particularly preferably 20 μm to 60 μm.

  The label substrate 21 is stretched mainly in one direction (uniaxial stretching), and has heat shrinkability mainly in the one direction (main stretching direction). For example, the draw ratio is preferably about 2 to 6 times in the main drawing direction. The label base material 21 can be stretched (biaxially stretched) in a direction orthogonal to the main stretching direction at a magnification of about 1.0 to 2 times to suppress shrinkage and expansion in the direction. The thermal contraction rate of the label substrate 21 (heat treatment condition: immersed in warm water of 90 ° C. for 10 seconds) is preferably 20 to 80%, particularly 30 to 80% with respect to the main stretching direction. preferable. The thermal contraction rate of the label substrate 21 is preferably 15% or less, more preferably 10% or less, and particularly preferably 5% or less with respect to the direction orthogonal to the main stretching direction.

  The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 is formed, for example, over substantially the entire back surface of the label base material 21. In the present embodiment, the adhesive suppressing layer 23 is formed on the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 to provide a desired adhesion region. However, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 may be provided only in a necessary region on the back surface of the label substrate 21. Good. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 is formed by applying an adhesive (pressure-sensitive adhesive) on the label substrate 21. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 can be formed using a conventionally known method such as a hot melt coater or a comma coater, and can also be formed by the same method (gravure printing method or the like) as the sealing label printing layer.

  Although it does not specifically limit as an adhesive agent which comprises the adhesive layer 22, Preferably it is a pressure sensitive adhesive which has adhesiveness at normal temperature. For example, adhesives such as synthetic rubber such as styrene-isoprene-styrene block copolymer and styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer, acrylic resin, olefin resin, urethane resin, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer Can be used.

  The glue suppressing layer 23 is formed on the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 while leaving the adhesive regions 22a to 22c. For example, the paste suppressing layer 23 is a printing ink containing no colorant such as a pigment, or a printing ink added with a silicone resin excellent in releasability, various waxes, etc., in the same manner as in the case of the sealed label printing layer. It can be formed by coating (eg gravure printing).

  In addition, you may provide layers other than the above on the label base material 21 in the range which does not affect a shrink characteristic etc. For example, a transparent overcoat layer may be provided on the outermost surface of the label substrate 21 for the purpose of imparting slipperiness or preventing scratches.

  The sealing label 20 is formed with a horizontal perforation line 24a, which is a horizontal cutting auxiliary line used when the container 11 is opened. Since the sealing label 20 is mounted across the container main body 13 and the cap 14, for example, the label is cut along the boundary line between the container main body 13 (filling portion) and the cap 14 to peel off the cap covering portion 20 m. Otherwise, it is difficult to remove the cap 14. That is, in order to facilitate the cutting of the sealing label 20, a horizontal perforation line 24a and the like are provided.

  In this embodiment, the horizontal perforation line 24a and the vertical perforation lines 24b and 24c are provided as cutting auxiliary lines. Each perforation line is formed, for example, with a plurality of recesses, through holes, or slits arranged in a line. Further, a knob portion 25 that is a substantially semicircular protrusion is formed on the upper end of the sealing label 20. This knob 25 is an opening starting point when the label is cut along each perforation line. In addition, as will be described later, the opening starting point portion is not limited to the projecting knob portion, and various forms can be mentioned. In the labeled container 10, the knob 25 is located on the periphery of the upper surface of the cap 14, and is slightly lifted from the upper surface, for example.

  The horizontal perforation line 24 a is formed along the boundary between the container body 13 and the cap 14 or in the vicinity thereof, that is, along the lateral direction of the sealing label 20. In the present embodiment, the horizontal perforation line 24 a is located on the shoulder 15 on the lower side than the boundary between the container body 13 and the cap 14. In addition, although the horizontal perforation line 24a is formed over substantially the entire length in the horizontal direction (circumferential direction) of the sealing label 20 in a range that does not cover the adhesive region 22a (that is, a range in which the adhesive suppression layer 23 is provided). , It may be formed in a range related to the adhesion region 22a.

  The vertical perforation line 24 b is the upper end of the sealing label 20 and is formed from one end side in the horizontal direction of the knob 25. The vertical perforation line 24b is formed along the vertical direction on the upper side, and is bent near the center of the cap covering portion 20m to be connected to the horizontal perforation line 24a. The vertical perforation line 24c is formed along the vertical direction from the other lateral end of the knob 25 and is interrupted near the center of the cap covering portion 20m. In addition, cuts may be formed at the start points of the vertical perforation lines 24b and 24c (both ends of the knob 25). The incision is formed, for example, by cutting the end of the sealing label 20 into a V shape or a straight line.

  When opening the container 11 to which the label 12 (sealing label 20) is attached, first the display label 30 is removed by peeling or the like, and then the knob 25 is pulled downward along the vertical perforation lines 24b and 24c to seal the container. The label 20 is cut. When the sealing label 20 is cut to the horizontal perforation line 24a, next, a force is applied in the circumferential direction of the label to cut the label along the horizontal perforation line 24a. Thereby, the cap coating | coated part 20m can be excised and the removal of the cap 14 is attained.

  In addition, as a cutting auxiliary line, a half cut line may be applied instead of the perforation line, or a perforation line and a half cut line may be combined. The half-cut line is formed by cutting a half of the thickness of the label without cutting the label completely.

[Display label 30]
The display label 30 includes a label base material 31, an adhesive layer 32, and a print layer 33 for providing a display unit, and typically includes a tack label. The display label 30 is affixed to at least a main body covering portion 20n that is mounted following the container main body 13, and includes a base portion 30n along the container main body 13 and a protruding portion 30m that floats from the container main body 13 and protrudes toward the cap 14 side. And have. Such a mounting form makes it easy to attract the user's attention.

  In the present embodiment, the substantially lower half of the display label 30 is the base portion 30n, and the substantially upper half is the protruding portion 30m. The base 30n is curved to correspond to the substantially arc-shaped side surface of the container main body 13 by being affixed to the main body covering portion 20n, and the protrusion 30m is similarly curved with the curvature of the base 30n. Yes. In addition, the base part 30n does not need to be adhered to the main body covering part 20n as a whole, and the adhesive layer 32 may be provided in part, and only part of it may be adhered. It is preferable that the protruding portion 30m does not have the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 32 or is provided with a glue suppressing layer on the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 32 to prevent adhesion with the cap covering portion 20m. Specifically, the protruding portion 30 m is a portion that protrudes above the shoulder portion 15 formed in the filling portion of the container body 13 and floats from the side surface of the container 11. That is, the protruding portion 30m stands up and down with a gap between the main body covering portion 20n attached to the shoulder portion 15 and the cap covering portion 20m attached to the cap 14, and the cap covering portion 20m. And so on.

  The label substrate 31 is preferably composed of a non-heat-shrinkable (substantially heat-shrinkable) resin film. For example, an unstretched resin film made of the polyester resin or the polyolefin resin can be applied to the label substrate 31. The thickness of the label base material 31 is, for example, thinner than the label base material 21, preferably 50 μm to 500 μm, more preferably 60 μm to 300 μm, and particularly preferably 70 μm to 200 μm.

  The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 32 can be formed by a printing method similar to that for the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22 using the same pressure-sensitive adhesive as that for the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 22. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 32 is exposed only in the lower region of the label base material 31, and it is preferable that the lower region is positioned below the horizontal perforation line 24a of the sealing label 20 and bonded (FIG. 6). reference). Thereby, the display label 30 is stuck only on the main body covering portion 20 n of the sealing label 20. As in the case of the sealing label 20, the adhesive region may be patterned by forming a paste suppressing layer on the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 32.

  The printing layer 33 can be formed by the same printing method as the sealing label printing layer using the same printing ink as that of the sealing label printing layer. The print layer 33 is formed on the surface side of the label base material 31. The print layer 33 preferably has an opaque background print layer such as a surface protective layer or a white solid print layer in addition to the print layer for providing a display. The print layer 33 may be formed on the back side of the label base material 31. The print layer 33 is preferably provided on the protruding portion 30m that projects upward from the shoulder 15 of the container body 13. By doing in this way, a user can be made to recognize warning display more reliably. Furthermore, when the display label 30 is a transparent base material, the base 30n of the display label 30 attached to the sealing label 20 Is preferably not provided with the print layer 33. By doing in this way, a warning display can be given, without inhibiting a sealing label printing layer.

  As described above, the display provided by the print layer 33 is important information (warning display) that should be transmitted to the user before the container 11 is opened or used, for example. Warning indications are precautions for use and storage such as dosage, age restriction, content risk, cold storage, etc. Specific examples include “Unable to take under 2 years old”, “Mix Display of “dangerous danger”.

  The display label 30 is attached to the sealing label 20 (on the main body covering portion 20n) so as to cover at least a part of the horizontal perforation line 24a. That is, the display label 30 hides at least a part of the horizontal perforation line 24a. Thereby, when opening the container 11 at least, the display of the display label 30 is easy to see, and the display content is recognized more reliably. In the present embodiment, the horizontal perforation line 24 a is concealed by the protrusion 30 m of the display label 30.

  The warning indication is provided by the printing layer 33 on the protruding portion 30m protruding above the shoulder portion 15 of the display label 30. Furthermore, the protrusion 30m covers the vertical perforation lines 24b and 24c and conceals them. Since a gap is formed between the protrusion 30m and the cap covering part 20m due to the difference in the circumferential length of the container side surface, the protrusion 30m is disposed opposite the vertical perforation lines 24b and 24c with the gap therebetween. Has been.

  In addition, by using an opaque base material (for example, a colored film, a foamed film, etc.) as the label base material 31 of the display label 30, or by providing an opaque background print layer on the print layer 33, each perforation line is concealed. Can increase the sex. That is, it is possible to make it difficult to find each perforation line. Thereby, it is expected that the user carefully observes the appearance of the labeled container 10, and the display content of the display label 30 is more reliably recognized.

  The display label 30 is preferably attached on the sealing label 20 so as to cover at least half of the entire length of the horizontal perforation line 24 a formed along the circumferential direction of the sealing label 20. Preferably, the display label 30 is attached so as to cover 80% or more of the entire length of the horizontal perforation line 24a, more preferably so as to cover the entire length. In other words, the display label 30 is attached so as to cover more than half of the circumference of the container body 13.

  Further, the display label 30 is preferably attached so as to cover substantially the entire length of the perforation lines 24b and 24c. Since there is a gap between the display label 30 and the cap covering portion 20m of the sealing label 20, the upper portions of the vertical perforations 24b and 24c can be confirmed by looking into the labeled container 10 from above. However, it is difficult to confirm the lower part of the vertical perforation lines 24b and 24c. For example, the intersection of the horizontal perforation line 24a and the vertical perforation line 24b is completely hidden by the display label 30. Thus, by enlarging the covering area of each perforation line, the user is expected to observe the appearance of the labeled container 10 more carefully, and the display contents of the display label 30 are easily recognized.

  In the present embodiment, the sealing label 20 extends upward from the display label 30, and the knob 25 (opening start point) formed at the upper end of the sealing label 20 is not concealed by the display label 30. As will be described later, the label 12 is thermally contracted by winding the sealing label 20 with the display label 30 attached in advance around the container 11. For this reason, when the display label 30 covers the sealing label 20 greatly, for example, the cap covering portion 20m is not sufficiently heated, the heat shrinkability is deteriorated, and the sealing function of the sealing label 20 may be impaired. The present configuration takes into consideration poor mounting properties due to such problems. On the other hand, the portion of the sealing label 20 between the knob 25 and the horizontal perforation line 24a is covered with the display label 30 as described above. For this reason, although the knob | pick part 25 is exposed from the display label 30, when picking the knob | pick part 25, the display label 30 will be recognized. Therefore, when the container 11 is opened, the user is expected to observe the appearance of the labeled container 10 more carefully, and the possibility that the display content of the display label 30 is recognized is increased.

Here, with reference to FIG. 7, an example of the manufacturing method of the label 12 is explained in detail.
In FIG. 7, the process of manufacturing the label 12 using the sealing label long body 20z temporarily attached to the long release paper 100 and the display label long body 30z is shown.

  In the example shown in FIG. 7, a long sealed label body 20 z that is mainly stretched in the longitudinal direction (hereinafter referred to as “MD direction”) is used. The direction indicated by the arrow is the flow direction in which the long sealed label body 20z or the like is conveyed, and coincides with the longitudinal direction of the long sealed label body 20z or the like. The long sealed label body 20z is stretched, for example, at a stretch ratio of about 2 to 6 times in the MD direction. Further, the long sealed label body 20 may be stretched at a stretch ratio of about 1.0 to 2 times with respect to the width direction (hereinafter referred to as “TD direction”) orthogonal to the longitudinal direction. The stretching treatment can be performed, for example, at a temperature of 70 ° C. to 100 ° C. using a roll method, a tenter method, a tube method, or the like.

  The perforated label long body 20z is formed with a horizontal perforation line 24a along the MD direction which is the main stretching direction. And the vertical perforation line 24b, 24c is formed at predetermined intervals in MD direction. In addition, when making the TD direction of the sealing label elongate body 20z into a main extending | stretching direction, each perforation line is formed at predetermined intervals in MD direction.

  A long display label 30z is laminated on the long sealed label 20z on which the perforation lines 24a to 24c are formed. The long sealed label body 20z and the long display label body 30z are joined by the adhesive layer 32 formed therebetween. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 32 is preferably partially formed on the surface of the long sealed label body 20z, but may be formed on the back surface of the long display label body 30z. When the long display label 30z is stacked, the long display label 30z is punched so that the perforation line 24 is covered with the display label 30. Then, by removing the cutting residue 101, a long body in which the display label 30 is formed on the sealed label long body 20z is obtained.

  Finally, the long sealed label body 20z is punched into individual label sizes, and the cutting residue 102 is removed. Thereby, the some label 12 can be manufactured continuously. The labels 12 are obtained in a state where a plurality of labels 12 are arranged in the MD direction on the long release paper 100 (hereinafter, a label in which a plurality of labels 12 are arranged on the release paper 100 is referred to as a “long label body”). In FIG. 7, the labels 12 are arranged in a row in the MD direction, but the labels 12 may be arranged in two or more rows in the MD direction of the long label body.

  The labeled container 10 is manufactured by supplying the label long body and the container 11 to a labeler, winding the label 12 around the side surface of the container 11, and then thermally shrinking the sealing label 20 of the label 12. The label 12 is wound so that the main extending direction of the sealing label 20 is the circumferential direction of the container 11. At this time, the adhesion region 22 a is adhered to the container body 13, and the adhesion region 22 b is adhered to the cap 14. And the horizontal direction edge parts of the sealing label 20 are bonded together by the adhesion | attachment area | region 22c. In this state, the label substrate 21 is heated to a temperature at which it heat shrinks. The heat treatment is performed, for example, by passing the container 11 wrapped with the label 12 through a shrink tunnel. As a result, the sealed label 10 follows the shape of the container 11 to obtain the labeled container 10 attached from the periphery of the upper surface of the cap 14 to the periphery of the lower surface of the container body 13. On the other hand, since the display label 30 attached on the sealing label 20 is partially adhered by the adhesive layer 32, the protruding portion of the display label 30 also when the sealing label 20 follows the shape of the container 11. 30 m (non-adhesive part) does not follow the container 11, but creates a gap with the cap covering part 20 m of the sealing label 20 and rises in the vertical direction.

  According to the labeled container 10 having the above-described configuration, since the perforation lines 24a to 24c, which are cutting auxiliary lines for opening the container 11, are covered with the display label 30, at least the container 11 is displayed. The display of the label 30 is recognized more reliably. That is, according to the container 10 with a label, it is possible to make a user etc. fully recognize the display content of the display label 30.

Here, FIG. 8 (a diagram corresponding to FIG. 4) shows a modified example of the label 12.
In the following, the same components as those shown in FIG. 4 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.

  In the example shown in FIG. 8A, the display label 30 x extends upward from the upper end of the sealing label 20 and covers the knob 25 formed at the upper end of the sealing label 20. Since the knob portion 25 is a portion that is left when the container 11 is opened, the user can observe the appearance of the labeled container 10 more carefully when opening the container 11 by concealing this. There is expected. Thereby, possibility that the display content of the display label 30 will be recognized further increases. In this case, in consideration of the mounting property of the sealing label 20, for example, the display label 30x may be attached after the sealing label 20 is mounted by being thermally contracted. In this case, a cylindrical shrink label is preferably used as the sealing label 20.

  In the example shown in FIG. 8B, the display label horizontal cutting auxiliary line 34 (hereinafter referred to as “horizontal perforation line 34”) is formed over the entire horizontal length of the display label 30x. In the example shown in FIG. 8B, the horizontal perforation line is used as the display label horizontal cutting auxiliary line, but a half cut line or the like may be applied instead of the horizontal perforation line 34. In this case, the upper part of the display label 30x can be excised using the horizontal perforation line 34, and the opening operation can be performed without peeling off the display label 30x. Thereby, for example, the adhesive force of the display label 30x to the sealing label 20 can be strengthened, and the display label 30x can be highly prevented from being peeled off during the distribution process or the like. The horizontal perforation line 34 of the display label 30x is preferably in the vicinity of the horizontal perforation line 24a of the sealing label 20 and at a position below the horizontal perforation line 24a. By setting in such a position, before cutting off the display label 30x, it becomes more difficult to recognize the cutting auxiliary line of the sealing label, and the cutting auxiliary line is exposed by cutting out the display label 30x. Can be made.

  In the example shown in FIG. 8C, perforated lines 24bx and 24cx formed in a straight line are provided from both ends of the knob 25 instead of the perforated lines 24b and 24c. In the sealing label 20x, the perforation lines 24bx and 24cx have the same shape, and both are connected to the horizontal perforation line 24a. Further, the perforation lines 24bx and 24cx are formed so that the interval between the perforation lines 24bx and 24cx becomes narrower as the horizontal perforation line 24a approaches. Also in this case, after the display label 30 is peeled off, the knob 25 is picked to cut the label in the vertical direction along the perforation lines 24b and 24c, and then the label is cut in the circumferential direction along the horizontal perforation line 24a. be able to.

  In the example shown in FIG. 8D, the protruding knob 25 protruding at the upper end of the sealing label is not formed, and the perforation line connected to the horizontal perforation line 24a is not formed. Instead of these, two cuts 26a and 26b are formed at the upper end of the sealing label 20y at intervals from each other to be the opening start point. In this case, each of the cuts 26a and 26b becomes an opening start point. The opening operation is the same as that shown in FIG. 8C, but the label may be difficult to cut because the perforation lines 24bx and 24cx are not formed.

  Further, the display label 30 y shown in FIG. 8D has a shorter vertical length than the display label 30. Although the upper end portion of the sealing label 20y in which the cuts 26a and 26b are formed is not covered with the display label 30y, the display label 30y is placed above the upper end of the sealing label 20 as shown in FIG. It may be extended.

  In the example shown in FIG. 8E, there is a knob portion 27 (opening starting point portion) which is a protrusion formed at one end portion in the lateral direction of the sealing label 20z. A horizontal perforation line 24a is formed from the end of the knob 27 along the circumferential direction of the sealing label 20z. For this reason, a label can be cut | disconnected along the horizontal perforation line 24a by pulling the knob | pick part 27 in the circumferential direction of a label.

  9 and 10 (a diagram corresponding to FIGS. 1 and 3) show a modified example of the labeled container 10.

  9 and 10 is a basic container in which the container 51 is an eye drop container having a container body 53 and a cap 54, and the label 52 is composed of a sealing label 60 and a display label 70. Common. On the other hand, the container 51 is different from the container main body 13 of the container 11 in that the container main body 53 has a substantially quadrangular prism shape and the circumferential length gradually decreases upward. In this case, it is preferable that the sealing label 60 is a shrink label having no pressure-sensitive adhesive layer in order to obtain a good mounting form following the shape of the container body 53. That is, the sealing label 60 is attached by being fitted into the container 51 and thermally contracted in a state of being formed into a cylindrical shape. In this case, the display label 70 is pasted on the sealing label 60 after the sealing label 60 formed in a cylindrical shape is heat-shrink mounted on the container 51.

  Similar to the sealing label 20, the sealing label 60 is formed with a horizontal perforation line 64a along the circumferential direction of the label. On the other hand, the sealing label 60 is formed with a semicircular cut 64b connected to the horizontal perforation line 64a. And the perforation line 64c is formed toward the upper end of the sealing label 60 from the upper end of the notch 64b. In this case, the notch 64b forms a knob portion 65 as an opening start portion between the perforation lines 64a and 64c.

  In the labeled container 50, the knob 65 is covered and concealed by the display label 70. As described above, the knob portion 65 is a portion that is left as it is when the container 51 is opened. Therefore, it is expected that the user can observe the appearance of the labeled container 10 more carefully by concealing the knob. The probability that the display content of the display label 70 is recognized is increased.

  The sealing label and its perforation shape exemplified above, the display label and its perforation shape, etc. are used in appropriate combination according to the container shape and application.
