Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable much information to be contained by a method wherein information such as a transmission sentence or the like is scaled down to be transferred. CONSTITUTION:A copy preliminarily prepared by recording descriptive items such as a transmission sentence or the like is scaled down in conformity with a size of a postcard body 1 of which on a surface side an address column are displayed, and said scaled down descriptive items such as the transmission sentence or the like are transferred to a back face side of the postcard body 1 to manufacture the postcard. Thereby, a recording amount, an information amount, etc., such as the transmission sentence or the like of the postcard can be increased.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial application field) The present invention relates to a postcard and a method for manufacturing the same.

(Prior art and problems to be solved by the invention) In general, the size of postcards is determined by the Postal Act, etc.
The amount of characters, etc. in the matters to be written in communications, etc. is inevitably subject to limitations.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to increase the amount of written messages, information, etc. on postcards.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention allows more information to be written on a postcard by reducing and transferring information such as a message onto a postcard of a specified size. On the back side of the postcard body 1 on which the addressee and additional address information are displayed, information such as a message, etc., which has been reduced from a previously prepared manuscript to fit the size of the postcard body 1, is transferred. The feature of this method is that a manuscript created in advance with information such as a message written in it is reduced to fit the size of the postcard body 1 with the addressee and address fields displayed on the front side, and the reduced message is sent. The main purpose of the postcard is to transfer written matters such as sentences to the back side of the postcard body 1 and manufacture the postcard.

(Function) Therefore, in the postcard with the above structure, since the information such as the message is reduced and densified by a transcription machine etc. and transferred to the postcard, a larger amount of information etc. can be written on the postcard. becomes possible.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of a postcard of the present invention will be described.

In Figures 1 (a) and (b), 1 is a postcard body consisting of two foldable sheet pieces fat lb, and the address and address fields are printed on the front side of one of the sheet pieces 1a,
Information such as a message is reduced to the size of a postcard and transferred printed on the back side of the sheet piece 1a, and printed on the back side of the one sheet piece 1a on the other sheet piece 1b. The information is colored so that it is hidden during mailing.

3 is a folding part where the postcard body 1 is folded to form sheet pieces 1a,
It is formed at the center of the postcard body 1 so that the lbs face each other.

Reference numeral 2 denotes an adhesive portion formed using a hot melt adhesive, and is formed to have a constant width around the back sides of the sheet pieces 1a and lb.

The present embodiment has the above-mentioned configuration, and its operation will be explained next.The address and address fields are printed on the front side of the postcard body 1, and the message etc. is printed on the back side sheet piece 1a by a transfer machine. Since the written information is printed after being reduced to the size of a postcard, it is possible to write a large amount of messages, etc. on the postcard.

Furthermore, when mailing a postcard, the postcard body 1 is folded as shown in FIG. The information is concealed and kept confidential. In this case, since the back side of the sheet piece 1b is colored, the written contents are kept secret even if the postcard body 1 is formed thin.

In the above embodiments, the adhesive part 2 is formed to have a constant width, but this is not a condition, and it may be formed over the entire surface of both sides of the sheet pieces la and lb, so that the outer edge of the postcard does not peel off when mailed. It is good if it is glued so that it does not.

Also, the reason why the sheet piece 1b is colored is to hide the contents written on the sheet piece 1a so as not to leak to the outside, and as a means for this concealment, instead of the above-mentioned coloring, for example, as shown in FIG. The postcard body 1 may be folded through the opaque sheet 4. In this case, there is no need to color the sheet pieces 1b, and the sheet pieces 1a,
Concealment is possible by laminating the film 9 on the lb, and coloring is not necessary in this case as well.

Further, in the above embodiment, even if the sheet piece 1b itself is made of an opaque material, it is possible to hide it without applying coloring.

In the above embodiment, the postcard was formed so that it could be folded over time, but it is not a condition that it can be folded over time, and it may be a postcard that is normally used.

In short, as long as the information such as the message is transcribed onto the postcard in a reduced size using a transcription machine or the like, there are no other restrictions on the configuration.

Next, an embodiment of the postcard manufacturing method of the present invention will be described.

In FIG. 5, the roll paper 5 has the postcard body 1 at the tear line 7.
Each continuous postcard body 1 is a continuous long body that can be divided by
An adhesive portion 2 made of a hot melt adhesive is formed with a constant width on the peripheral surface of the back side of the sheet pieces 1a and lb of the postcard body 1.

Next, such a roll paper 5 is pulled out and fed into the transfer machine 6, and the original document 8 created in advance is placed on the back side of the sheet piece 1a.
is reduced to match the size of the sheet piece 1a and transferred.

Next, the roll paper 5 is folded from the folding part 3 as shown in FIG. 6, and the folded roll paper 5 is thermocompressed via the adhesive part 2 as shown in FIG. 7 to form each postcard body 1.

In this embodiment, since the method described above is used, the content of the manuscript containing the message etc. is reduced and transcribed to match the size of the postcard, making it possible to write a large amount of information etc. on the sheet piece 1a. be.

It should be noted that in the above embodiment, manufacturing postcards using the roll paper 5 is only one example of the manufacturing method of the present invention, and it is by no means a condition and may be applied to various other transfer machines 6 depending on the situation. Any supply method can be considered and there is no particular limitation. For example, a postcard body already formed to a predetermined size may be supplied to the transfer machine 8.

Further, the transfer means is not limited to the continuous type transfer machine as in the embodiment, but may also perform reduction transfer by copying, facsimile, or other methods.

Furthermore, although the adhesive part 2 is formed to have a constant width around the back side of the sheet pieces 1a+lb, this is by no means a condition, and it may be formed over the entire surface of both sides of the sheet pieces 1a and lb. It is fine as long as the outer edges are glued so that they do not peel off.

There are many other possibilities, such as changes in the manufacturing method, structure, order, etc., but there are no special restrictions (in short, if the message or other information on the postcard has been reduced and transcribed using a transcription machine etc. The configuration is not limited in any way.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, the present invention reduces and prints conventional postcards whose dimensions are specified and therefore limits information such as messages. This has the special advantage of making it possible to record a large amount of information such as messages that were not previously available.

Furthermore, when creating a postcard, it is possible to send more information such as a message than before, which has the excellent effect of reducing the cost of mailing based on the amount of information such as the message.

In addition, the manuscript to be printed on a reduced size on a postcard can be easily and quickly created by reducing and printing the original created in advance using a transfer machine, making it suitable for mass production, making it possible to create a postcard at a lower cost. This makes it possible to create
