2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a mail post with a reply postcard has been used for various direct mails to customers. These are used for various credits, solicitation of membership cards, etc., guidance for new products and events, etc., but the customer who sent them fills in the application and answer contents on the postcard embedded in the mail form and immediately Its convenience is appreciated because it can be sent back. FIG. 4 shows an example of such a postcard mail form 30. The sheet pieces 11 to 15 are one cut sheet (sheet) connected to the folding lines 16 to 18 through the perforations m7. FIG. 4A shows the front surface of the personalized postcard mail form 30, and FIG. 4B shows the back surface. The front surface and the back surface of the postcard-attached mail form 30 are surfaces 11a to 15 that are divided by folding lines 16 to 18 and perforations m7.
a, 11a 'to 15a'. The largest width of the paper pieces 11 to 15 is 11, 12, 13 ...
・ It is becoming narrower.

In FIG. 4 (a), 11a, 13a, 1
Each side of 4a is a general printed page such as product information, contract contents, application guidelines, 12a is a personal name personal printing part for direct mail, 15a is a sender address of a postcard for reply, name, application, answer entry etc. Page. Therefore 12a and 15
The address and name column of a can be printed at the same time. Figure 4
In (b), 11a 'to 14a' are descriptions or posted pages of product information, application procedures, company advertisements, and the like, 15
Since a'is for the destination of the reply postcard, the entire back surface including the destination can be printed in advance. At the upper and lower ends of the postcard mail form 30, there are adhesive areas indicated by diagonal lines, and the perforations m10 and m11 are inside thereof.
Further, a tear piece 21 by perforations 8 and 9 is provided near the side edge of the sheet piece 11.

A postcard mail form 30 in which general printing, cutting perforation processing, printing of individual information such as an address, and partial coating of an adhesive are completed, has a piece of paper 15 inside.
As shown in FIG. 4 (c), it is folded and adhered,
As shown in (d), it becomes a sheet-like sealed letter and is mailed as an individual mail.

As shown in FIG. 5, the recipient cuts the upper and lower ends of the postcard-attached mail form 30 into perforations m10, m.
The postal mail form 30 can be opened by cutting off at 11, and tearing the tearing piece 20 provided on the paper piece 11 to view both the front surface and the back surface. The recipient may enter the application and answer contents in the entry field 22 of 15a, cut off the reply postcard H at the perforation m7, and post it.

In recent years, the amount of information to be transmitted to individuals has been increasing. In addition, the amount of information may differ for each individual, and in that case, the amount of information also varies. In this way, when the amount of information to be sent changes, the conventional postcard mail form has the following problems. The traditional postcard mail form is
Since the process is a folding process, the width of each page in the longitudinal direction is not constant (equal spacing), and the width of the page wound outward is wider. Therefore, in order to make a good-looking sealed letter without slack when folded, it is necessary to carefully set the width of each page while considering the thickness of the paper, and this setting itself is not easy. Absent. Therefore, when increasing or decreasing the number of pages as the amount of information increases or decreases, the width of each page must be set each time, and this work is very complicated. In addition, since it is a roll-folding process, when the number of pages is too large when making a sheet-shaped letter for the last time, the central part of the rolled-up paper piece swells, making it difficult to create a flat letter. Is. In extreme cases, it will be rolled. what if,
When creating a flat envelope, there is also a problem that the size of the envelope itself becomes large. Further, since the conventional mail form with postcard is printed on a printer in the state of one cut sheet, there is a problem that the efficiency of the printing work is reduced as compared with the normal continuous form. Further, the opening operation is also troublesome because a few pieces are torn and opened, and there is also a problem that the opening causes dust. The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and can conceal and send any amount of information from a small amount to a large amount, and the manufacturing process as a mail form is easy and the cost is low, By sending and printing the sender of the reply postcard, the applicant's address, name, etc. in the application field at one time, the applicant can post immediately by filling in the minimum necessary items, and it is easy to open An object of the present invention is to provide a postcard-enclosed folding form in which no printing dust is generated and printing information can be viewed in a state similar to a sheet when opened.

[0006]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a solution for a postcard-enclosed folding type foam according to the present invention is provided, in which a plurality of form pieces are connected through folding perforations and the folding is performed. In a mail form that is alternately folded back at the perforations and is adhered and sealed so that it can be pressed and peeled, it is folded back at the perforations and is folded on each of two facing predetermined form pieces. A postcard-sized cutout portion is provided at a position that is symmetrical with respect to the perforations, and both opposite surfaces of the cutout portion are non-peelably adhered.

[0007]

According to the present invention, any amount of information can be dealt with by freely setting the length of the mail form addressed to an individual, that is, the number of forms. A postcard that is connected to a mail medium and a postcard can be obtained by a simple process such as folding and crimping a continuous form paper that is about half the thickness of a postcard. The destination address of the concatenated reply postcard, the name of the sender of the reply postcard, the address, etc. can be printed or printed in advance, and the recipient need only fill in the necessary reply contents. It can be opened easily without cutting the three sides and without generating dust, and both sides of the mail form can be viewed.

It can be used as a page such as R. The method of recording information on each form is not limited to printing with a printing machine or printing with a printer, but fixed information such as explanatory text is printed in advance, and variable information such as address and name is printed with a printer. do it. Then, the postcard-enclosed folding form 10 in which the adhesive was partially coated at a predetermined position and all necessary information was printed or printed, was cut and connected to the postcard-sealed folding form 20 for individuals. The form pieces are alternately folded back as shown in FIG. Here, when the back surfaces of the form pieces 1 and 2 are pressure-bonded to each other, as shown in FIG.
As shown in (b), in the double-page spread formed by the back sides of the opposite form strips 1 and 2, the adhesive portion 1b ′ is formed in a U shape along the outer edge of the double-page spread on the back side of the form strip 1. It is provided and both sides are weakly adhered so as to be peelable. Also,
As shown in FIG. 1 (a), a U-shaped adhesive portion 2 b is provided on the surface of the form piece 2 in the same manner.
The surfaces of are adhered to each other in a peelable manner. The shape of the adhesive portion described above is not necessarily U-shaped as long as it is at the outer edge of the double-page spread. Further, the adhesive portion may be provided not only on the outer edge portion but on the entire surface. Further, as shown in FIG. 1 (b), adhesive portions 3b 'and 4b' are provided on the entire back surfaces of the form pieces 3 and 4, and the back sides of the form pieces 3 and 4 are pressure-bonded and strongly adhered to each other without peeling. It Further, the form pieces 3 and 4 are provided with a postcard portion H for the folding perforation m4, and a cutout perforation m6 is provided around the postcard portion H. Therefore, by cutting the cut perforation m6 of the form pieces 3 and 4 in a state in which the form pieces 3 and 4 are irremovably pressure-bonded by the adhesive portions 3b ′ and 4b ′ on the back surface, one reply postcard H is formed. can get. The postcard-enclosed folding form 20 for personal use consisting of at least four form pieces as described above is shown in FIG.
It is folded and crimped as shown in (d), processed into a sheet-shaped envelope, and mailed. FIG. 2B is a perspective view showing a state in which the recipient opens the postcard-enclosed folding form 20 addressed to an individual according to the present invention. The front and back sides of the opened postcard-enclosed folding form 20 addressed to an individual are opened in a sheet shape except for the back surfaces 3a ′ and 4a ′ of the form pieces 3 and 4 which are non-peelable and strongly adhered. Can be listed.
Next, as shown in FIG. 2C, the recipient is perforated m6.
The postcard portion H for reply is cut out from the above, and the necessary information may be entered in the entry field on the 4a side, and the postcard may be posted. In addition, the form piece 3,
4 is the layout of the postcard part H in FIG.
As shown in (a) and (b), two postcards H1 and H2 may be cut off as needed, or may be used as a reciprocating postcard.

The form paper used in the present invention is generally high-quality paper, and two form papers are press-bonded with an adhesive layer sandwiched therebetween to form a postcard paper. In addition, since the postcard usually determines that a postcard weighs 2 to 6 g and has a maximum size of 15.4 x 10.7 cm and a minimum of 14 x 9 cm, the basis weight of the form paper should fall within this range.
Consider the layout.

A flexographic printing method using a rubber relief printing plate can be preferably used to partially coat a high-quality paper with an adhesive to provide the adhesive portion as described above. May use any of the coating methods already known.

The pressure-sensitive adhesive used in the present invention will be described in detail below. The pressure-sensitive adhesive used in the postcard-enclosed folding form according to the present invention exhibits strong adhesiveness that cannot be peeled off when the pressure-sensitive adhesive layers contact each other, and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer peels off the form paper surface. Adhesive base agents, adhesive strength regulators, additives and the like are mixed and adjusted in the following proportions so that the adhesive strength is weak. Adhesive main agent 100 parts by weight Adhesion control agent In the case of needle-shaped substances 10-100 (preferably 10-50) parts by weight In the case of fine-grained substances 0-50 (preferably 5)
30) parts by weight When the above two substances are mixed 10 to 100 parts by weight Additive wax 0.01 to 20 parts by weight UV absorbers trace amount defoaming agent trace amount defoaming aid trace amount emulsifying component water 100 to 500 (preferably 200)
To 300) parts by weight emulsifier 0.5 to 2 parts by weight resin 1 to 50 parts by weight

[Adhesive Main Agent] The adhesive main agent is a natural rubber (N
R), esterified natural rubber, styrene butadiene rubber (SBR), chloroprene rubber, polyvinyl acetate, polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) and the like, or a mixture thereof. In mixing these adhesive main agents, by appropriately adjusting the mixing ratio, the adhesiveness to the base material can be made higher than the adhesiveness while maintaining the self-adhesiveness between the pressure-sensitive adhesives. Preferably, a natural rubber having a high property of exhibiting self-adhesiveness between pressure-sensitive adhesives under pressure is added with polymethylmethacrylate or styrene-butadiene rubber for the purpose of enhancing the adhesiveness with a base material, that is, the anchor effect. Is mentioned. Polymethylmethacrylate is preferably used as a mixture with another adhesive main agent rather than used alone. As such an adhesive main agent, fine particles having a particle size of about 0.1 μm to 3 μm are usually used.

[Adhesive Strength Adjusting Agent] The adhesive strength adjusting agent is mixed in order to adjust the adhesive strength of the main adhesive agent, and a needle-like substance or a fine particulate substance or a mixture thereof is used. Needle-like substance As the needle-like substance, any of an inorganic substance and an organic substance may be used, as long as the shape thereof is substantially needle-like, flat, spiral,
Although it is arbitrarily selected from those having various forms such as scales, a needle-shaped substance is particularly preferable. The needle-shaped substance has an average length of 10 μm to 20 μm and an average diameter of 0.2.
It is preferably about μm to 0.5 μm. Needle-like substances
It is preferable that the pressure-sensitive adhesive be an emulsion and have an apparent specific gravity of 0.05 to 0.6 in order to reduce the sedimentation property when it is used as a coating agent. Further, in consideration of printing processing and NIP suitability, a needle-shaped substance Has an elastic modulus of 10000 kg / mm ²
It is preferably about 40,000 kg / mm ² . Examples of such needle-like substances include glass fiber, carbon fiber, P
AN-based fibers, metal crystals, metal compound crystals, and the like,
The adhesive main agent may be one that has no affinity (compatibility). A preferable acicular substance is a crystal of potassium 6-titanate (K ₂ O.6TiO ₂ ), which has no compatibility with water but an affinity and an apparent specific gravity of 0.2.
(True specific gravity = 3.3), elastic modulus 28,000 kg / mm ²
And is suitable as a pressure-sensitive adhesive component.

Finely divided substances Finely divided substances include microsilica, synthetic zeolite, activated alumina gel, calcium carbonate, zinc oxide, titanium oxide, talc, clay, kaolin, activated clay, acrylic beads, starch, cellulose, shirasu balloon and the like. The particles having a particle size of 10 mμm to 30 μm, preferably 0.5 μm to 10 μm are suitable.
Further, by adding together with the needle-shaped substance, it is possible to reduce the addition amount of the fine-grained substance and prevent the fine-grained substance from falling off.

[Additives] As additives, waxes such as polyethylene wax and carnauba wax for improving handleability, slipping property such as NIP transport performance, or blocking resistance, and ammonia for preventing deterioration are added. UV absorbers such as ethanolamine may be added. Further, as an antifoaming agent, a nonionic surfactant,
An anionic surfactant (mineral oil type) may be added, or silica or the like may be added as a defoaming aid.

[Emulsifying Component] The above-mentioned adhesive main agent, adhesive force adjusting agent, and additives are dispersed in a medium such as water and applied to a substrate in an emulsion state. When emulsifying, an emulsifier is added if necessary. As the emulsifier, oleic acid soap, potassium castor oil soap, casein, glue, gelatin and the like can be used. Further, in order to prevent secondary aggregation of the adhesive main agent when emulsified, a resin having no affinity with the adhesive main agent can be added. As this resin, a water-dispersible polymer polyester,
Thermoplastic elastomer, low molecular weight polyethylene such as low density polyethylene, ionomer, vinyl acetate-olefin copolymer and the like can be preferably used.

The coating amount of such a pressure-sensitive adhesive is 0.1 g / m ^{2 to} 10 g / m ² , preferably 1.0 g after drying.
/ M ^{2 to} 3.0 g / m ² is preferable. Within this range, it is possible to print on the pressure sensitive adhesive. In this case, the ink can penetrate through the pressure-sensitive adhesive and reach the base material, and transfer of the printing layer when peeled off can be prevented. If the print area and the adhesive area are separated at the form design stage, the adhesive area will not be printed, but in order to increase the adhesive force between the facing sheet pieces and strengthen the peeling force, the adhesive area should be It is necessary to widen it, and there is a possibility that it will overlap with the printing area, but as long as the pressure-sensitive adhesive is used, there will be no trouble due to this overlap. Further, without being limited to the above-mentioned pressure-sensitive adhesive, any adhesive or pressure-sensitive adhesive may be used as long as the pressure-sensitive adhesive can be non-separable between the pressure-sensitive adhesive layers and can be peeled between the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and the form paper. Is also good.

Although one embodiment of the postcard-enclosed folding type foam according to the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and various modifications are possible without departing from the gist of the present invention. Can be modified. Further, the postcard-enclosed folded form according to the present invention is specifically used in the following cases. For life insurance-related, new insurance information and design application, for mail-order related, product information provided by product brochure and desired product application, and for retail-related information such as shopping in XX month, bargains, special sales floors, events, etc. Application for product provision, product reservation, participation, etc.
For various schools, we provide detailed guide information for each course, application guidelines, and request to send admission applications. Further, instead of the postcard, an admission ticket, a discount ticket, or the like may be connected.
