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

− First Embodiment −
FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram showing a production process of the assorted packaged product shown in FIG. The assorted packaged product 1 according to the present invention includes a packaging material 2 and a plurality of products 3 packed in the packaging material 2.

As the packaging material 2, a packaging box is adopted in the present embodiment. On the exterior of the packaging material 2, a plurality of patterns (12 types in the present embodiment) different from each other are drawn, for example, by printing. These symbols A to L are, for example, portraits of star players such as professional baseball players and soccer players, portraits of members of popular idol groups, and animation characters, which are expected to have an appealing effect on consumers. There is.

In the present embodiment, the product 3 is a bottled beverage. A label 4 on which each of the designs A to L of the packaging material 2 is individually printed is attached to each product 3.

The packaging of the product 3 in this manner in the packaging material 2 is as follows. That is, if the product 3 ... With the label 4 of the design, which is two less than the number of the designs A to L drawn on the exterior of the packaging material 2, is attached to the packaging material 2, the combination is different for each packaging material 2. I'm packing it. As a result, the assorted packaged product 1 shown in the uppermost row of FIG. 1 is packed with the products 3 ... To which the labels 4 of the symbols A to J are affixed, and the assorted packaged product 1 shown in the middle row of FIG. Products 3 ... With labels 4 of symbols K, L, A to H different from those of the assorted packaged product 1 in the upper row are packed, and the assorted packaged product 1 shown in the lower row of FIG. 1 is packed. , Products 3 ... With labels 4 of symbols I to L, A to F, which have different combinations of symbols from the assorted packaged products 1 and 1 in the upper and middle stages, are packed.

In the present embodiment, the number (type) of the symbols drawn on the exterior of the packaging material 2 is 12, and the number of the products 3 is 10, so that the products with labels having different symbols mathematically attached to each other. The number of combinations of 3 is 66. However, since it is actually difficult to produce 66 combinations on an existing production line, it is desirable to adopt, for example, the method shown in FIG.

In the example shown in FIG. 2, the symbols A to L are printed on the label 4 in this order (label printing process), and a plurality of sets 5 are arranged in order (repetition of A to L, A to L) with this as one set. Products that flow in a row on a line (not shown) via a negative pressure suction type intake drum 7, an adhesive application drum 8, and a negative pressure suction type sticking drum 9 after being loaded into the supply cassette 6. (Bottle) 3 is affixed in order (feeding process and label affixing process). As a result, the label 4 on which the symbol A is printed is affixed to the first product 3, the label 4 on which the symbol B is printed is affixed to the next product 3, and thereafter, the label 4 is attached to the product 3 in this order. The label 4 of the symbol A is affixed to the next product 3 following the product 3 to which the last symbol L is affixed, and this series of steps is repeated thereafter.

In this way, the products 3 to which the labels 4 of the symbols A to L are affixed and flow on the line one after another are taken out from the beginning by a conventional boxing device, and each of them is packed in the packaging material 2. Go (packing process). As a result, as shown in FIG. 1, an assorted packaged product 1 in which the combination of the product 3 is different for each packaging material 2 can be obtained.

− Second embodiment −
FIG. 3 is a conceptual diagram showing the present embodiment, and FIG. 4 is a conceptual diagram showing a production process of the assorted packaged product shown in FIG. The label 4 is attached only in a different order from the above-described embodiment, and the same components as those in the above-described embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and duplicate description will be omitted.

That is, as in the above embodiment, the product 3 ... With the label 4 of the design, which is two less than the number of the designs A to L drawn on the exterior of the packaging material 2, is packaged in the packaging material 2. Each material 2 is packed in a different combination. In the present embodiment, the assorted packaged product 1 shown at the top of FIG. 3 is packed with products 3 ... With 10 labels 4 excluding the symbols L and F, and is shown in the middle of FIG. In the assorted packaged product 1, the product 3 ... With 10 labels 4 affixed except for the symbols E and K, which have different combinations of symbols from the assorted packaged product 1 in the upper row, is packed, and in the lower row of FIG. In the assorted packaged product 1 shown, the product 3 ... With 10 labels 4 excluding the symbols D and J, which have different combinations of symbols from the assorted packaged products 1 and 1 in the upper and middle stages, is packed.

In the production method of the assorted packaged product 1 described above, as shown in FIG. 4, the symbols A to L are printed on the label 4 in this order (printing process), and the symbols A to F and the symbols G to L are printed. Each of the two sets is divided into two sets, and a plurality of sets 10 and 11 are arranged in order with each set as one set, and loaded into the supply cassettes 12 and 13 dedicated to each set (label sorting step). Then, the labels 4 are alternately fed from the supply cassettes 12 and 13 (feeding process), via the negative pressure suction type intake drums 14 and 15, the adhesive application drum 16, and the negative pressure suction type sticking drum 17. , The products (bottles) 3 flowing in a row on a line (not shown) are affixed in order (label affixing process). As a result, the label 4 on which the symbol A is printed is affixed to the first product 3, the label 4 on which the symbol G is printed is affixed to the next product 3, and the symbol B is printed on the next product 3. Label 4 is affixed, and so on, label 4 is affixed to product 3 in the order of A → G → B → H → C → I → D → J → E → K → F → L, and the last The label 4 of the symbol A is affixed to the product 3 following the product 3 to which the symbol L is affixed, and this series of steps is repeated thereafter. In any of the above embodiments, for attaching the label 4 to the product 3, for example, a single-wafer label supply device as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-272112 can be used.

In this way, 10 products 3 to which the labels 4 of the symbols A to L are attached and flowing on the line one after another are taken out from the beginning and packed in the packaging material 2 (packing process). As a result, an assorted packaged product 1 in which the combination of the product 3 is different for each packaging material 2 can be obtained.

-Other embodiments-
In each of the above embodiments, the design is printed on the label 4 and the label 4 is attached to the product 3, but the label 4 may be abolished and the design may be printed directly on the product 3. In that case, although not shown in particular, n types of symbols (here, n ≧ 4) are printed in order on the products flowing in a row without overlapping each other (printing process), and then printing is performed. The products flowing into one row from the process may be packed (packing process) in the packaging material 2 in the order of nm pieces (here, 2 ≦ m <n) from the beginning of the row. A conventionally well-known device can be used for printing the pattern on the product 3.

By the way, in both the first embodiment and the second embodiment, when the work of taking out 10 pieces of the product 3 from the line and packing them in the packaging material 2 is repeated 6 times, the next 7th time again becomes the first 10 pieces. Product 3 of the same combination will be packed, and this will be repeated thereafter. That is, six types of assorted packaged products 1 having different combinations of the products 3 are produced. This seems to be a small number of combinations, but even if a consumer purchases three or four and a plurality of assorted packages 1 at the store, the probability that the combination of the products 3 will obtain the same assorted package 1. Is low, and the intended purpose is achieved without problems.

The example in which 12 kinds of symbols are drawn on the packaging material 2 and 10 products 3 which are two less than the number of symbols are packed in the packaging material 2 has been described above, but the present invention is not limited thereto. However, for example, when there are 12 types of symbols, the number of products 3 to be packed may be 11 or less than 10. Further, the number of types of patterns drawn on the packaging material 2 may be eight, and the number of products to be packed in the packaging material 2 may be less than that, for example, six. Alternatively, when a female idol group consisting of dozens of people is selected as a design, the design of all the members of the group is printed on the packaging material 2, and the number of products to be packed in the packaging material 2 is reduced to, for example, 10 or less. If it is set, the types of assorted packaged products having different combinations of products will increase, so that the appealing effect of the products can be further enhanced.

Further, in the above embodiment, the packaging box is shown as the packaging material 2, but the present invention is not limited to this, and may be a bag-like one such as a drawstring bag or a paper bag that can be sealed. Further, the product 3 is not limited to bottled beverages, and all kinds of products such as foods, daily necessities, stationery, and dry batteries can be adopted.

Further, in the above embodiment, the label 4 on which the design is printed is attached to the product 3, but the label 4 may be a shrink film on which the design is printed.
