Description

The present invention relates to a labeled container to which the label is attached to the container.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a container with a label in which a POP label is attached to an upper part of a bottle-type container has been known in order to attract consumers' attention and enhance an advertising effect (Patent Document 1). The POP label is a label that attracts the consumer's attention by sticking a display piece showing an advertisement or the like from a bottle-shaped container and sticking it, and is also commonly called an eye catch label.
Further, as in Patent Document 2, a POP label including a two-layered base material in which a front base material is detachably adhered to a back base material is also known.
With respect to a product (labeled container) in which a POP label composed of such a two-layer base material is adhered to a container, the outer edges of the POP label come into contact with each other when the adjacent products rotate and rub during transportation, There is a problem that the front substrate peels off from the back substrate.
In view of such a problem, in Patent Literature 2, the front base material is formed in a substantially trapezoidal shape as a whole, and the front base material has the opposite side that matches the opposite side of the back base material, and the maximum width of the back base material and the bottom side are different. There has been proposed a POP label having a lower corner part which partially coincides with a lower corner part of the backing substrate toward a bottom side located therebetween.

  However, in Patent Document 2, there is a problem that the front base material and the back base material have to have the characteristic shape described above, and the outer shape of the label is limited.

JP-A-2002-351333 Japanese Patent No. 5437294

An object of the present invention is not dependent on the outer shape is that the front base material to provide a labeled container hardly carelessly peeled label is adhered from the back substrate.

The labeled container of the present invention has a container having a curved surface around an axis, and a label partially or wholly affixed to the curved surface of the container and curved in the same direction as the curved surface, wherein the label is , A back base material, and a front base material attached to the front side of the back base material, and having a portion swelled on the first axial side of the container in the surface of the front base material. An end non-linear cutting line is formed , an adhesive layer is provided on the entire back surface of the front substrate, and a release layer is formed on the surface of the back substrate corresponding to the region surrounded by the cutting line.

[First Embodiment]
1 to 5, the label 1 has a back substrate 2 and a front substrate 3, and the front substrate 3 has a back surface such that a part thereof can be peeled off from the back substrate 2. It is laminated on the surface side of the substrate 2. Ended non-linear cutting lines 4 are formed in the surface of the front base material 3, and a region 5 surrounded by the cutting lines 4 is peelable from the back base material 2.

  Specifically, the front substrate 3 and the back substrate 2 are formed, for example, in a substantially rectangular shape in plan view. The rectangular shape includes a rectangular shape and a square shape. However, the shapes of the front base material 3 and the back base material 2 in a plan view are not limited thereto, and are each independently substantially, for example, a substantially circular shape, a substantially elliptical shape, a substantially triangular shape, a substantially hexagonal shape, or the like in plan view. It may be formed in a polygonal shape or the like. The “substantially” in the plan view shape means a shape allowed in the technical field to which the present invention belongs. The `` substantially '' of the substantially rectangular shape in a plan view, the substantially triangular shape and the substantially polygonal shape include, for example, a shape in which a corner is chamfered, a shape in which a part of a side is slightly bulged or depressed, and a side is slightly curved Shape, etc. are included. Further, the “substantially” of the substantially circular shape and the substantially elliptical shape in plan view includes, for example, a shape in which a part of the circumference is slightly expanded or depressed, a shape in which a part of the circumference is slightly straight or oblique, and the like. It is.

The front substrate 3 and the back substrate 2 are preferably formed in the same shape in plan view as shown in the figure, but may be formed in different shapes. Further, as shown in the drawing, the front base material 3 and the back base material 2 are preferably formed to have the same size in plan view, but one of them may be formed to be larger than the other. In this case, the back substrate 2 is preferably larger than the front substrate 3.
The size of the front base material 3 and the back base material 2 is not particularly limited, and can be appropriately set according to the size of the container to be attached. For example, when the front base material 3 and the back base material 2 are formed in a substantially rectangular shape in a plan view, the size of both base materials is independently about 15 mm to 50 mm × 15 mm to 50 mm in length × width. .

  The front base material 3 and the back base material 2 are each formed of a sheet material (what is generally called a film is also the same). Examples of the sheet material include a synthetic resin sheet including one resin layer or two or more resin layers, paper, synthetic paper, a metal-deposited sheet, and a foamed resin sheet. The sheet material may be a laminate of the various sheets. The material such as the synthetic resin sheet is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include polyolefins such as polyethylene, polypropylene, cyclic olefins, copolymers including polyethylene, polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate, polyamides, and polystyrenes.

The front base material 3 and the back base material 2 may use sheet materials of the same material, or may use sheet materials of different materials. Further, the front base material 3 and the back base material 2 may use sheet materials having the same thickness, or may use sheet materials having different thicknesses.
Further, the front base material 3 and the back base material 2 may each independently use either a transparent sheet material or an opaque sheet material. In order to make a part of the label 1 transparent so that the design of the container can be seen through, it is preferable that both the front base material 3 and the back base material 2 use a transparent sheet material, and in particular, a transparent synthetic resin sheet. It is more preferable to use The total light transmittance of the transparent sheet material is, for example, 70% or more, preferably 80% or more, and more preferably 90% or more. The total light transmittance refers to a value measured by a measuring method based on JIS K 7361 (test method for total light transmittance of plastic-transparent material).
The thickness of each of the front substrate 3 and the back substrate 2 is preferably about 30 μm to 150 μm.

An adhesive portion for adhering the label 1 to the container is provided on the back surface of the back substrate 2. The adhesive portion may be provided on the entire back surface of the back substrate 2. However, since the label 1 of the present embodiment is used as a POP label, the adhesive portion is provided on a part of the back substrate 2. Have been.
Specifically, an adhesive layer 61 is provided on the entire back surface of the back substrate 2. Hereinafter, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer provided on the back surface of the back substrate 2 is referred to as “first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 61”. A masking layer 67 is provided on the back surface of the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 61 except for a region to be an adhesive portion. The masking layer 67 is a layer that substantially conceals the adhesive strength of the first adhesive layer 61. Therefore, the area where the masking layer 67 is provided cannot be adhered to the container, and the area where the masking layer 67 is not provided (adhesive portion) exposes the back surface of the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 61, And can be bonded.

As the pressure-sensitive adhesive constituting the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 61, a pressure-sensitive pressure-sensitive adhesive is preferable, but a heat-sensitive pressure-sensitive adhesive can also be used. The pressure-sensitive adhesive is an adhesive having an adhesive strength at room temperature and having a long-lasting adhesive strength, and is widely used in conventionally known tack labels. The heat-sensitive adhesive is an adhesive which does not exhibit adhesiveness at room temperature, exhibits an adhesive strength when heated, and has a long-lasting adhesive strength.
The thickness of the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 61 is not particularly limited, but is, for example, 15 μm to 30 μm.
Examples of the masking agent constituting the masking layer 67 include an ultraviolet curable ink. The masking layer 67 can be formed by applying a masking agent to a predetermined area on the back surface of the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 61.
The thickness of the masking layer 67 is not particularly limited, but is, for example, 3 μm to 20 μm. By forming the masking layer 67 relatively thick, the adhesive force of the adhesive can be reliably concealed.

  Preferably, the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 61 and the masking layer 67 are both transparent. Here, in this specification, the “transparent” total light transmittance of a layer other than the sheet material is, for example, 70% or more, preferably 80% or more, and more preferably 90% or more. The total light transmittance of the layers other than the sheet material is determined by measuring the total light transmittance of a sheet made of a synthetic resin sheet having a total light transmittance of 90% or more as a test piece according to JIS K7361 (total light transmittance of plastic-transparent material) Rate test method).

The bonding portion is disposed in a band-shaped region of the back substrate 2 including one edge of the back substrate 2. In a relationship with a cutting line 4 described later, the bonding portion is arranged corresponding to a region where the cutting line 4 is not provided.
The method of forming the bonding portion is not limited to the method of covering a part of the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 61 with the masking layer 67 as described above, and the method of forming the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 61 only in the range where the bonding portion is to be formed. A method may be used (in the case of this method, formation of a masking layer becomes unnecessary).

As described above, the label 1 of the present embodiment in which the adhesive portion is provided on a part of the back substrate 2 is attached to the container at the adhesive portion, and is attached to the container at the remaining portion (the portion other than the adhesive portion). Instead, it is separated from the container.
Hereinafter, the part of the label 1 that is attached to the container may be referred to as “sticking part A”, and the part separated from the container (the remaining part of the label) may be referred to as “separation part B”.

A printing layer 71 is provided on the surface of the backing substrate 2. Hereinafter, the printing layer provided on the back substrate 2 is referred to as a “first printing layer 71”. The first print layer 71 includes at least one of a design layer representing various designs (including advertisements such as a product name and a prize guide) and a background layer of a solid color.
The first printing layer 71 may be provided on the entire surface of the backing substrate 2, but in order to make the sticking portion A of the label 1 transparent, the first printing layer 71 Is provided on the surface of the backing substrate 2 corresponding to. In other words, the first print layer 71 is provided on the surface of the back substrate 2 excluding the bonding portion.
Note that the first printing layer 71 is not limited to being provided on the surface of the back substrate 2 and may be provided on the back surface of the back substrate 2 or provided on both the front surface and the back surface of the back substrate 2. You may.

Further, a release layer 77 is provided on the front side of the back substrate 2. In the case where the first print layer 71 is provided on the surface of the back substrate 2 as in the illustrated example, the release layer 77 is formed on the surface of the first print layer 71 provided on the surface of the back substrate 2. Is provided.
The release layer 77 is not provided on the entire front surface side of the back substrate 2, but is provided on the front surface side of the back substrate 2 corresponding to a region 5 surrounded by a cut line 4 described later.
Examples of the release agent forming the release layer 77 include a coating agent containing silicone. The release layer 77 can be formed by applying a release agent to a predetermined area on the front side of the back substrate 2. The thickness of the release layer 77 is not particularly limited, but is, for example, 1 μm to 5 μm. By appropriately setting the thickness of the release layer 77, it is possible to adjust the adhesive strength of a region 5 surrounded by a cutting line 4 described later. Note that the release layer 77 is transparent so that the first print layer 71 provided on the back surface side can be viewed.

On the back surface of the front substrate 3, an adhesive layer for bonding the front substrate 3 to the back substrate 2 is provided. In the present embodiment, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 62 is used as the adhesive layer. Hereinafter, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer provided on the back surface of the front substrate 3 is referred to as “second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 62”. The second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 62 is provided on the entire back surface of the front substrate 3.
As the pressure-sensitive adhesive constituting the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 62, similarly to the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 61, a pressure-sensitive pressure-sensitive adhesive is preferable, but a heat-sensitive pressure-sensitive adhesive can also be used.
The thickness of the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 62 is not particularly limited, but is, for example, 15 μm to 30 μm.
Preferably, the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 62 is also transparent.

Further, a printing layer 72 is provided on the surface of the front substrate 3. Hereinafter, the printing layer provided on the front substrate 3 is referred to as a “second printing layer 72”. The second print layer 72 includes at least one of a design layer representing various designs (including advertisements such as a product name and a prize announcement) and a background layer of a solid color.
The second print layer 72 may be provided on the entire surface of the front substrate 3. However, in order to make the sticking portion A of the label 1 transparent, the second print layer 72 Is provided on the surface of the front base material 3 corresponding to.
The second print layer 72 is not limited to being provided on the front surface of the front substrate 3 and may be provided on the back surface of the front substrate 3 or provided on both the front surface and the back surface of the front substrate 3. You may.
When the second print layer 72 is a print layer including a design, the design may be printed so that the design can be viewed from the front side of the front substrate 3 or can be viewed only from the back side of the front substrate 3. May be printed as follows. As in the latter case, the second print layer 72 whose design can be visually recognized only from the back side of the front base material 3 is composed of a design layer and a background layer, and the background layer having a color that makes the design of the design layer invisible is the design layer. It is provided on the front side.

A cutting line 4 is formed in the surface of the front substrate 3. Preferably, the cutting line 4 is formed in the range of the separation part B. In addition, the cutting line 4 is provided only on the front base material 3 or only on the front base material 3 and the layers provided on the front base material 3 (such as the second print layer 72 and the second adhesive layer 62). I have. The cutting line 4 is a line that penetrates the front and back surfaces of the front substrate 3 and divides the front substrate 3 into two.
The cutting line 4 is formed in an end non-linear shape in plan view. The end non-linear shape refers to a shape having two ends 41, 41, and a shape connecting the ends 41, 41 is not a straight line.
The end non-linear cutting line 4 has a bulged portion on one side. The one side means one side of both sides in the vertical direction of the label 1, and the vertical direction of the label 1 corresponds to the axial direction of the container when the label 1 is attached to the container. Therefore, the one side corresponds to the first side in the axial direction of the container when the label 1 is attached to the container. The other side of the label 1 refers to the opposite side in the vertical direction from the one side. In the present embodiment, one side of the label 1 is the separation part B side of the label 1, and the other side of the label 1 is the sticking part A side of the label 1.

  Specifically, the cutting line 4 has both end portions 41, 41, and a non-linear portion 42 bulging to one side from both end portions 41, 41. In the illustrated example, an inverted non-linear portion 43 bulging to the other side is provided between the both end portions 41, 41 and the non-linear portion 42, respectively. The reverse non-linear portion 43 is a so-called barbed line portion, and is a line for preventing the region 5 surrounded by the cut line 4 from being separated from the front base material 3 when the region 5 is separated. Department. In the present embodiment, the region 5 surrounded by the cut line 4 is a region surrounded by the non-linear portion 42 and a straight line connecting the tips of the two inverted non-linear portions 43 bulging to the other side. . When the inverted non-linear portion 43 is not formed, the region 5 surrounded by the cut line 4 is composed of the non-linear portion 42 and a straight line connecting both ends 41 of the cut line 4. It is an enclosed area.

The inverted non-linear portion 43 is usually smaller than the non-linear portion 42, and is formed in, for example, a substantially U-shape or a substantially U-shape in plan view. The inverse non-linear portion 43 is formed as needed for the above function.
Examples of the shape of the non-linear portion 42 in a plan view include a substantially U-shape, a substantially U-shape, and a substantially V-shape. In the present embodiment, the non-linear portion 42 includes an intermediate portion 421 and a pair of left and right inclined portions 422 and 422 that are respectively provided between both ends of the intermediate portion 421 and the inverted non-linear portion 43. . The intermediate portion 421 extends in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the label 1 (a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction is referred to as a “lateral direction”). The intermediate portion 421 may be curved as shown, provided that it extends in the horizontal direction as a whole, and may be straight, zigzag, or the like (not shown). The pair of left and right inclined portions 422 and 422 are inclined at an acute angle with respect to the vertical direction, and are inclined so as to approach one side (intermediate portion 421).

A region 5 of the front substrate 3 surrounded by the cut line 4 is releasably adhered to the back substrate 2, and a region other than the region of the front substrate 3 is attached to the back substrate 2. It is bonded so that it cannot be peeled off. Hereinafter, the region 5 surrounded by the cut line 4 in the front substrate 3 is referred to as a peeled region 5, and the other region is referred to as a non-peeled region. The area surrounded by the non-linear portion 42 of the cutting line 4 is at least the peeling area 5.
The term "separably bonded" means that the peeled area 5 is bonded to the backing substrate 2 to such an extent that the peeled area 5 can be easily peeled off by human power. The non-peelable adhesive means that the non-peelable area is adhered to the back substrate 2 to such an extent that the non-peelable area is difficult to be peeled off by human power, or that the front substrate 3 Alternatively, it means that the backing substrate 2 is adhered to such an extent that the material is destroyed.

The adhesive strength of the peeling region 5 to the backing substrate 2 is, for example, 0.02 N / 25 mm to 3 N / 25 mm, and preferably 0.05 N / 25 mm to 2 N / 25 mm. If the adhesive strength of the peeling area 5 is too small, the peeling area 5 may be inadvertently peeled off during storage and transport of the labeled container. If the adhesive strength is too high, the peeling area 5 may be removed when necessary. 2 may not be able to be peeled off.
The adhesive strength of the non-peeling area to the backing substrate 2 is 4 N / 25 mm or more, and preferably 5 N / 25 mm or more to 20.0 N / 25 mm.
The adhesive strength is measured when a test piece having a width of 25 mm and a length of 100 mm is peeled off at a peeling angle of 180 °, a peeling speed of 300 mm / min, and a temperature of 23 ° C. in accordance with JIS Z 0237. Value.

As a method of peelably bonding the peeling area 5 to the back substrate 2, (1) the adhesive strength of the second adhesive layer 62 is weakened on the back surface of the second adhesive layer 62 corresponding to the peeling area 5. Or forming a masking layer for concealment, or (2) forming a release layer between the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 62 corresponding to the release region 5 and the backing substrate 2. In the illustrated example, as described above, the release layer 77 is provided on the surface side of the back substrate 2, and the release region 5 is formed by the second adhesive layer 62 of the front substrate 3 contacting the surface of the release layer 77. Is formed.
The release layer 77 is provided in a range corresponding to the release region 5 on the front surface side of the backing substrate 2. Specifically, the release layer 77 is provided in a range corresponding at least to a region surrounded by the non-linear portion 42 bulging to one side of the cutting line 4. Note that the release layer 77 may be provided so that the outer edge of the release layer 77 is strictly along the cutting line 4, but such a precise alignment is difficult in practice. The release layer 77 is provided so that the outer edge of the cutout 4 slightly protrudes outside the non-linear portion 42 of the cutting line 4.
With the release layer 77 interposed, the release region 5 can be separated from the backing substrate 2. Further, in the non-peeling region having no peeling layer 77, the back surface of the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 62 is directly adhered to the front surface side of the back substrate 2, so that the peeling becomes impossible. The periphery of the peeling area 5 of the front substrate 3 of the label 1 of the present invention is surrounded by a non-peeling area.

  In the range corresponding to the peeling region 5, a portion corresponding to the vicinity of the inside of the non-linear portion 42 of the cutting line 4 is a perforated portion 79 having no peeling layer in a spot manner. Preferably, the perforated portions 79 are provided at portions corresponding to the vicinity of the inside of the left and right inclined portions 422, 422, respectively. For example, two perforated portions 79 are formed at portions corresponding to the vicinity of the inside of the left and right inclined portions 422 and 422, respectively. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the perforated portion 79 is formed in a substantially circular shape in plan view, and has a diameter of about 1 mm to 3 mm. By providing such a spot-like perforated portion 79 in the surface of the release layer 77, as shown in FIG. 4, the second adhesive layer 62 is exposed at the perforated portion 79 without interposing the release layer. It comes to adhere directly to the surface of the substrate 3. By providing such a perforated portion 79, it is possible to reliably prevent the peeling area 5 from being inadvertently peeled during storage and transport of the labeled container.

The label 1 is used, for example, by sticking it to a container 8 as shown in FIG.
The container 8 has a body portion 81, a shoulder portion 82 formed above the body portion 81, and a cap portion 83 detachably attached above the shoulder portion 82.
The body 81 has a curved surface around the axis. Specifically, the three-dimensional shape of the body portion 81 is a straight body shape having a curved surface. The straight body shape refers to a shape in which the size of the outer shape cut along a plane perpendicular to the axial direction does not change in the axial direction. For example, the body 81 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape having a lower surface as shown in the figure. The body portion 81 may have other shapes, provided that it has a curved outer shape, and examples thereof include a substantially elliptical cylindrical shape, a substantially semi-cylindrical shape, and a substantially semi-elliptical cylindrical shape.

The shoulder portion 82 is formed in a reduced diameter shape in which the circumferential length gradually decreases as going upward. The outer shape of the shoulder 82 cut by a plane orthogonal to the axial direction is, for example, a substantially polygonal shape such as a substantially rectangular shape, a substantially elliptical shape, a substantially semicircular shape, or a substantially semielliptical shape in addition to a substantially circular shape. And so on.
The cap portion 83 is attached to the upper portion of the shoulder portion 82 by screwing or uneven fitting. The circumference of the cap 83 may be the same as or larger than the circumference of the body 81, but is preferably smaller than the circumference of the body 81 as shown. In the container 8 of the illustrated example in which the circumference of the cap portion 83 is smaller than the body portion 81, the outer shape of the body portion 81 forms the maximum diameter portion of the container 8, and the portion other than the body portion 81 is the body portion 81. It is smaller than the diameter. For example, the peripheral length of the cap portion 83 is from the peripheral length of the trunk portion 81 × 0.7 times to the peripheral length of the trunk portion 81 × 0.95 times. The three-dimensional shape of the cap portion 83 is a straight body having a curved surface. For example, the cap portion 83 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape having an upper surface as illustrated. The cap portion 83 may have another shape, for example, a substantially elliptical cylindrical shape, a substantially semi-cylindrical shape, a substantially semi-elliptical cylindrical shape, or the like.

The material of the container 8 is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a synthetic resin, metal, glass, and pottery. Further, the container 8 may be formed using two or more kinds of materials, such as forming the cap portion 83 from a synthetic resin and forming the body portion 81 and the shoulder portion 82 from a metal.
Further, various designs may be applied to the body 81 and the like of the container 8. The design may be directly applied to the body 81 or the like of the container 8 or a label with a design such as a shrink label, a stretch label, an adhesive label, a thermal label, an in-mold label, or a glue label may be provided on the body 81 of the container 8. It may be provided by mounting on a device (not shown).

By attaching the sticking portion A of the label 1 to the curved surface of the container 8, a container 10 with a label of the present invention as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 is obtained.
In the labeled container 10, the label is formed on the curved surface of the body portion 81 of the container 8 such that the non-linear portion 42 of the cutting line 4 is on the first axial side of the container 8 (the upper side in the axial direction in the illustrated example). A sticking portion A of the label 1 is stuck, and a separation portion B of the label 1 (remaining portion of the label 1) is separated from the shoulder 82 and the cap 83 of the container 8 and protrudes upward. Further, the label 1 attached to the curved surface is curved in an arc shape in the same direction as the curved surface.
Since the sticking portion A of the label 1 is transparent, it is possible to prevent the design applied to the body 81 of the container 8 from being hidden by the label 1.

In the labeled container 10, since the cut line 4 is formed in the surface of the front substrate 3 (since the peeling region 5 is formed in the surface of the front substrate 3), the front substrate 3 is placed on the back. Inadvertent peeling from the substrate 2 can be prevented.
Specifically, in the label 1, a peeling area 5 is formed in the surface of the front substrate 3, and a non-peeling area is formed around the peeling area 5. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the front base material 3 from being turned from the outer edge of the label 1. Generally, when the labeled container 10 is transported, the outer edge of the label 1 is likely to come into contact with foreign matter, and the outer substrate 3 is easily turned from the outer edge. However, according to the labeled container 10 of the present invention, such turning can be prevented. . For example, as shown in FIG. 9, when a plurality of the labeled containers 10 of the present invention are transported on a transport line or the like, the adjacent labels 1 rotate around the axis, and the outer edges thereof come into contact with each other. Even in such a case, careless winding of the front substrate 3 can be prevented. In particular, as in the present embodiment, in the case of the labeled container 10 affixed to the container 8 in the form of a POP label, the outer edge of the separating portion B of the label 1 easily comes into contact with foreign matter. Inadvertent peeling of the front substrate 3 can be prevented even when the front substrate 3 is attached in the form of a POP label.

Further, since the cutting line 4 formed in the plane of the front base material 3 has a shape bulging toward the first side in the axial direction of the container 8, for example, during transportation as shown in FIG. Even if the attached container 10 rotates around the axis, the non-linear portion 42 of the cutting line 4 expands in the axial direction, so that the peeling region 5 can be prevented from being carelessly turned. Further, since the non-linear portion 42 includes a pair of left and right inclined portions 422, it is possible to reliably prevent the label 1 attached to the curved surface of the container 8 from being inadvertently turned from the non-linear portion 42.
In such a labeled container 10 of the present invention, since the curling prevention effect does not depend on the outer shape of the label, the label 1 having various shapes in plan view can be used.

  When the container 10 with the label is used, as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 8, the non-linear portion 42 of the cutting line 4 is caused by a toe or the separated portion B of the label 1 is bent and the non-linear portion of the cutting line 4 is bent. By causing 42 and peeling the peeling region 5, the design of the back surface side of the peeling region 5 and / or the design of the front surface side of the back substrate 2 corresponding to the peeling region 5 becomes visible. For example, by displaying lottery information and prize application information as a design of the back side of the peeling area 5 and / or the back substrate 2 corresponding to the peeling area 5, the labeled container 10 for a campaign can be configured.

  The label and the labeled container of the present invention are not limited to the first embodiment, and can be variously modified within the scope of the present invention. Hereinafter, other embodiments of the present invention will be described. However, a configuration different from the above-described embodiment will be mainly described, and a description of a similar configuration or the like will be omitted, and terms and reference numerals may be used. .

[Second embodiment]
In the first embodiment, the label 1 has the sticking part A and the separating part B. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the back surface of the first adhesive layer 61 is exposed on the entire back surface of the back substrate 2. May be. In this case, an adhesive portion is formed on the entire back surface of the back substrate 2. By attaching such a label 1 to the curved surface of the body 81 of the container 8 as shown in FIG. 11, for example, a labeled container 10 in which the entire label 1 is attached to the curved surface of the container 8 is obtained. Can be

[Third embodiment]
Further, in the label 1 and the labeled container 10 of the first and second embodiments, the non-linear portion 42 of the cutting line 4 swells upward, but, for example, as shown in FIG. The cutting line 4 may be formed so as to expand toward the lower side. Such a label 1 and a labeled container 10 are embodiments in which the first axial side of the container is the lower side.
Further, in the first and second embodiments, the inclined portions 422 of the non-linear portion 42 of the cutting line 4 are inclined so as to approach each other toward the intermediate portion 421, but conversely, as they approach the intermediate portion. They may be inclined away from each other (not shown).

In the first and second embodiments, the non-linear portion 42 of the cutting line 4 has the inclined portion 422, but may not have the inclined portion (not shown). In this case, a line portion corresponding to the inclined portion 422 is formed substantially parallel to the vertical direction (the axial direction of the container).
Further, the non-linear portion 42 may have a portion bulging on one side in the vertical direction (first side in the axial direction of the container), for example, partially on the other side in the vertical direction (first side in the axial direction of the container). (A side opposite to the opposite side) may be provided (not shown).
