The surface of the third paper portion 3c is the address information writing surface at the time of outgoing communication.

[0004]

[PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED BY THE INVENTION]
As described above, only one double-page spread was recognized as the concealed surface, and the other surfaces were completely bonded. Further, in the case of a reciprocal postcard, the reply postcard must be on the right side of the postcard, and the reply postcard must not contain the contents of the postcard.

Therefore, in the case of a reciprocal postcard, the address information and the secret information at the time of outgoing communication are arranged at the front and back positions, and it is impossible to print on one side. 2 on each side
If it is printed once, it will take time and there is a possibility that both information will mismatch. It is conceivable to use a double-sided printing printer, but it has not been widely used, and it is necessary to change the conventional mail issuing system. In addition, there was a request to increase the number of pages to be included in the correspondence.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and to provide a mail form which can be issued by using a conventional mail sealer or a single-sided printer and has more information writing surface than a conventional secret reciprocal postcard. is there.

[0007]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the mail form according to the present invention comprises a first paper section and a second paper section.
A three-fold mail form in which a paper portion and a third paper portion are continuously provided in this order, and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer that can be peeled off by pressure is formed on substantially the entire surface of the base material to be adhered. , The lower side of the first sheet portion and the lower side of the second sheet portion are the secret information writing surface, the upper side of the second sheet portion is the address information writing surface for outgoing communication, and the information writing surface of each sheet portion One-sided printing is performed, the upper side of the first sheet section is cut off, and the lower side of the first sheet section and the lower side of the second sheet section are pressed and brought into close contact with each other.

In this case, the third sheet portion can be used as an individual information writing surface unique to the replyer who does not need a secret when replying.

[0009]

According to the present invention, the lower side of the first sheet section and the lower side of the second sheet section serve as the secret information writing surface, and the upper side of the second sheet section serves as the address information writing surface for outgoing communication. Therefore, it is possible to perform single-sided printing on the information writing surface of each paper portion. Further, since the upper side of the first sheet portion is cut off, the upper side of the second sheet portion (the address information writing surface at the time of outgoing communication) can be seen. Further, since the lower side of the first sheet section and the lower side of the second sheet section are pressed and brought into close contact with each other, secret information can be hidden.

[0010]

The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and the like. 1 to 6 are views showing an embodiment of a mail form according to the present invention, FIG. 1 is a plan view, FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line AA of FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a bottom view, and FIGS.
FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram of the usage method.

First, the planar form will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the mail form 1 of this embodiment is in the form of continuous paper, and marginal parts p are provided on the left and right. A punch hole q for feeding with a pin tractor of the printer is formed in the marginal portion p, and the marginal portion p can be cut off by the vertical perforation r after printing. Further, the mail form 1 is formed with horizontal perforations s that are cut into unit forms at predetermined intervals.

The mail form 1 includes a first paper portion 1a, a second paper portion 1b, and a second paper portion 1b in order from the left side of the front surface shown in FIG.
The third sheet unit 1c is continuously provided, and each sheet unit 1a to 1c
The space between the two can be bent by a fold line t shown by a broken line. The planned cut line u indicates a position to be cut later by a slitter or the like.

Regarding the front side of the mail form 1,
The first sheet portion 1a has a two-dot chain line (see FIG.
It is cut from the planned cutting line u indicated by (see), the upper side is cut off, and the lower side becomes the secret information writing surface W1. The upper side of the second sheet portion 1b from the substantially central portion of the front side is the address information writing surface X2 at the time of outgoing communication, and the lower side is the secret information writing surface W2. The confidential information writing surface W2 of the second paper portion 1b and the confidential information writing surface W1 of the first paper portion 1a are brought into close contact with each other during outgoing communication, and the contents thereof are hidden. The third sheet portion 1c becomes the individual information writing surface Y3 on which the information unique to the reply person is printed.

The front surface of the mail form 1 is the confidential information writing surface W1, W2 or the address information writing surface X2 at the time of outgoing communication.
Since it is the individual information description surface Y3 and the description content is usually different for each destination, it is preferable to print with a printer such as NIP. It should be noted that it is acceptable to print other general matters in advance, and when it is not particularly necessary, instead of making it the individual information writing surface Y3, the public information writing surface Z3
It is also possible to

As for the back surface of the mail form 1, as shown in FIG. 3, the back surface (lower half) of the first paper portion 1a and the back surface of the second paper portion 1b contain information that does not require confidentiality during an outgoing communication. It becomes the public information writing surface Z1 and Z2 to be written. The back surface of the third sheet portion 1c becomes the address information description surface X3 at the time of reply.

The back side of the mail form 1 is a public information writing surface Z1 or Z2 such as an advertisement or general notice, or a specific 1
Since it is the address information description surface X3 at the time of replying to a place, it can be printed in advance.

Next, the layer structure will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, the mail form 1 has an adhesive layer 12 formed on one side of a base material 11 indicated by hatching. The base material 11 is usually white fine paper, but if the surface is roughened by corona treatment or matte treatment, use synthetic resin films such as PET, PE, PP and vinyl chloride. You can also

The adhesive layer 12 is a layer coated with an adhesive having a property of being adhered by pressure and capable of being peeled off again. For example, SBR (styrene-butadiene-rubber) as a resin component, water as a volatile component, and a pigment. As the component, a pressure-sensitive adhesive containing microsilica as a main component can be used. It should be noted that a small amount of NR (natural rubber), PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate), or the like may be added to improve the adhesion between the pressure-sensitive adhesives. Further, it is possible to prevent deterioration due to ultraviolet rays by adding an alkaline component such as ammonia, which absorbs ultraviolet rays better than the resin component. Further, a small amount of vinyl acetate may be added. As the additives for improving the printability, various dispersions, non-metal powders, etc. may be used in addition to microsilica.

In this example, the above components were mixed and used in the following proportions. SBR 20 to 25 parts Water 65 to 70 parts Micro silica 10 parts NR Fine amount PMMA Fine amount

Next, a method of using the mail form 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. First, on the front surface of the mail form 1, using a printer such as NIP, each information is printed on the confidential information writing surfaces W1 and W2, the address information writing surface X2 at the time of outgoing communication, and the individual information writing surface Y3. Since each information can be printed on one side, printing is fast and there is no mismatch of information. In addition, necessary information is printed in advance on the back surface of each of the sheet units 1a to 1c.

Then, as shown in FIG. 4, after the upper side of the first sheet portion 1a is removed by using a die roll and the vertical perforation r is cut by using a slitter, and the horizontal perforation s is cut by using a burster. , Fold it in three and fold it (Z
Fold) Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, the upper side of the first sheet unit 1a is cut off and removed.

In this state, each sheet unit 1 is
When the a to 1c are pressed and brought into close contact with each other, the confidential information writing surfaces W1 and W2 of the first sheet portion 1a and the second sheet portion 1b are hidden in close contact with each other, so that the confidential information cannot be read from the outside. Absent. In addition, postage will be treated as a standard postcard.

As shown in FIG. 6, when the recipient separates the first sheet portion 1a and the second sheet portion 1b in the direction of the arrow, it does not damage the information written on the confidential information writing surfaces W1 and W2. You can open it and read its information.
Furthermore, it is possible to reply by separating from the fold line t between the second sheet portion 1b and the third sheet portion 1c.

At this time, the third sheet portion 1c serves as a postcard for reply, but since the information is already printed on the address information description surface X3 at the time of reply, it is possible to save the trouble of entering and to write the individual information. Since it is possible to print an individual selection field or the like on the surface Y3 so that it can be easily filled in at the time of reply, it is possible to increase the collection rate of confirmation of changes in the roster or the like and answer to the questionnaire.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, and various modifications can be made. For example, since the fold line t only makes a crease, it may be provided by pressing a line or perforating. Further, the upper side of the first sheet portion 1a may be cut off in advance, a cut line may be cut in advance in the planned cut line u, or a window may be opened so that only the address portion can be seen. Good.

[0026]

As described above in detail, according to the present invention, it is possible to issue a tri-fold secret reciprocal postcard by using the conventional sealer or single-sided printer as it is. In addition, the entire description surface can be increased.
