Description

  The present invention relates to a card product, which is a printed material using a plastic sheet or cardboard as a base material, and a card and a support portion that is stood up and supported by the card are integrated via a connecting portion and displayed and sold at a store.

  Examples of the card include a scratch card, a gift card, a prepaid card, and the like.

In recent years, a large number of printed materials have been sold to stand against a printed plastic sheet or cardboard card support in a form with a card attached thereto.
Cards that are sold are not easily noticeable by a single card, so the card is affixed to a printed plastic sheet or cardboard card support, and it is sold at a store. It is common.

On the surface of the card and the surface of the card support portion, there are written descriptions of the contents of the card and how to use the card, and printing that can be noticed by people when displayed at a store.
On the back of the card, a bar code for reading the amount when printed at a store is printed, and the card support can be read without removing the card from the card support with a register. An opening is formed in a portion corresponding to the bar code, and the card and the card support portion are bonded together so that the bar code of the card enters the opening.
In addition, the individual identification number necessary for using the card is printed, and when it is displayed at the store, the individual identification number is not visible. After purchase, the person who purchased the card confirms the individual identification number Scratch processing is made so that it can be used.

When manufacturing a conventional product in the form of affixing a card to the printed plastic sheet or cardboard substrate described above, there are points to be noted later.
First, cards with scratches on the back are affixed to a plastic sheet or cardboard substrate with glue or double-sided tape. Care must be taken when working so as not to damage the scratched part by touching the part.

  Second, since it is necessary to read the individual barcode on the back of the card with a register when selling the card, the card support is formed with an opening for receiving the barcode printed on the card. It is necessary to align and affix the barcode to the opening of the card support part.

  Thirdly, an operation (matching operation) for confirming that the card is attached to the card support body and that the card is correctly attached to a position where the barcode can be read is also required.

  The work of attaching the card to the card support section has the work load described above, and the barcode reading is caused by the scratch of the scratch section due to an operation mistake or the misalignment between the opening of the card support section and the barcode of the card. An error may occur. There is a need to improve such defects, reduce workload, and reduce processes.

  Patent Document 1 relates to a card sending mount having a card support part that detachably supports a card, and the card is supported by an adhesive structure in which a corner of the card can be inserted into or removed from the card support part. It is what is attached to. (See paragraph (0004))

Japanese Patent No. 3343165

Conventionally, a card and a card support part are created separately, and the card is attached to the card support part with glue or double-sided tape in a later process, so is the card attached to the card support part? Confirmation work (matching work) was necessary.
The present invention reduces the number of manufacturing steps by integrally manufacturing the card support and the card using the same base material.
In addition, cards with a card support unit manufactured integrally with the same base material are displayed at the store, and when handling the card, it is difficult for the card to be separated from the card support unit, or when the card is separated from the card support unit. It is required that the connecting portion can be easily separated.
Patent Document 1 is different from the present invention in that the card and the card support part are not the same base material, there is a possibility that the card may drop off from the card support part, and the work of confirming whether the card is on the card support part is performed. There is a problem that it is necessary and continuous pattern printing cannot be performed.

  The present invention is intended to solve the above-described problems.

It is a figure of the comparative example of a connection part. It is a top view of the support part integrated card | curd which provided the extraction part. It is the figure which showed the evaluation method of the base material in which the connection part of various shapes was formed.

  Hereinafter, the configuration of the support unit integrated card 20 will be described with reference to FIG. 1A.

  The support unit integrated card 20 is difficult to drop off the card support unit 2 from the card support unit 2 at the time of handling such as display or sales work at a store, while the card unit 1 is used when the card is used after purchase. The shape of the card connecting portion 11 is designed so that it can be easily and cleanly removed from the card support portion 2.

  The card part 1 and the card support part 2 made of the same base material are surrounded by the card support part 2 at four sides, and the card part 1 and the card support part 2 are connected to the card connecting part. 11 and the card connecting portion 11 are separated. The card support portion 2 is formed with a hook portion 3 for hooking and displaying the card support portion 2 when it is displayed at a store.

  Further, the card connecting part 11 is not formed in the area of the four corners of the card part 1 and is separated from the card support part 2 in a rounded round shape. The corner portion is a portion that is difficult to separate, and by separating in advance, poor separation can be reliably prevented.

Next, the overall arrangement of the card connecting part 11 that connects the card part 1 and the card support part 2 will be described.
