[Industrial applications]

 INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention relates to a communication body such as a postcard, more specifically, a postcard used for concealing information such as a correspondence message, and in particular, a character is printed or ink is printed by a heat fixing method using an automatic printer such as a laser printer. It is related to communication such as postcards that are established.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, as a postcard to be heat-bonded as described above, there is, for example, one disclosed in JP-A-64-16692. That is, in this postcard, a film is provided on the inner surface side of the two sheet pieces forming the postcard body, and the films can be peeled off via a pseudo adhesive layer.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, since the postcard as described above has a film provided on the inner surface side of the sheet piece, it is difficult to print the information directly on the film or display the information by printing. , Printing, and displaying information by printing had to be performed directly on the paper sheet before attaching the film to the sheet.

In the printing before sticking such a film, when information is displayed by printing, such as a postcard for direct mail, a paper manufacturer prints the paper sheet as it is, and then the film is printed. The manufacturing process of the product, such as when the processor attaches the film, is easy to be familiar with the general distribution process of the product processing, and the manufacturing work can be rationalized.

However, when character information is printed by a printer such as a computer, from the viewpoint of confidentiality of information, generally, a bank, a securities company, or another company that uses this type of postcard prints it by itself. In this case, after printing, it is required to maintain a system that can be quickly mailed through processes such as bending and bonding. Therefore, in such a case, it is impossible for the financial institutions, companies, etc. described above to attach the film after printing, and the manufacturing process does not match the general product distribution process, and the work process is inevitable. Unreasonableness will occur.

For these reasons, the conventional postcards as described above have been used only for direct mail and the like, but have not been used for character printing by a printer or the like at present. ..

The present invention was made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and can directly display information such as characters, and therefore, it can be produced by a character display of a printer of a financial institution, a company or the like. It is an object of the present invention to provide a communication body such as a postcard that is suitable for use and does not cause transfer of characters even after opening.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention has been made as a solution to such a problem, and a means for solving the problem is that at least two sheet pieces 1a and 1b that allow the communication body 1 to be superposed on each other. In a communication body such as a postcard in which the sheet pieces 1a and 1b that are overlapped with each other are releasably adhered to each other via the adhesive agent 4, the adhesive agent 4 is provided on the inner surface side of the sheet pieces 1a and 1b. This means that they are scattered in a dotted pattern.

[0009]

[Action]

 When the communication body having such a configuration is used, first, information such as necessary characters is displayed on the inner surface of the sheet piece by printing or the like.

Next, after displaying the necessary information as described above, the communication body 1 is bent to polymerize between the sheet pieces, and the polymerized sheet pieces are bonded.

By thus polymerizing and adhering the sheet pieces, a communication body is formed and can be mailed.

Next, the recipient who has received the communication body as described above can read the information displayed on the inner surface side of the sheet piece by separating the sheet pieces of the communication body. In this case, since the adhesive 4 is provided on the inner surface side of the sheet pieces 1a and 1b in a dotted manner, the sheet pieces 1a and 1b can be easily separated from each other, and the sheet piece 1a can be easily peeled off. , 1b, even after being peeled off, characters or the like displayed on the adhesive 4 by printing or the like do not transfer to one side of the facing sheet.
