Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a multi-purpose label structure in which several kinds of labels are formed and attached on a release paper, and various kinds of information can be easily printed, and a method for producing the same.

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In many cases, it is desirable to have a label structure that is versatile and versatile. For example, 1
One such label structure utilized in two well known markets is the £ 50 Electronic Data Processing Paper (50EDP).
A permanent pressure sensitive adhesive, and 50 EDP removable pressure sensitive adhesive, and four functions, namely a shipping paper label,
It is also used as a nameplate label certified by a government agency or association, an energy guide label for a rated electric device such as a water heater, and a warning label. This makes it possible to simultaneously manufacture all the labels associated with a specific electric device on the market, to correctly label the device, and to efficiently perform shipping and the like.

[0003]

However, while such a label structure is very practical in concept, there are various complications associated with the ultimate use of the label. That is, there is a problem in that the transparent polyester tape needs to be laminated and attached on the certification nameplate label (including the serial number and the model number) in order to obtain the approval of the government agency or the association for the durability of the label. This is relatively labor-intensive and expensive and, in an effort to eliminate such processes, polyester labels with release paper were used to cover the web containing the rest of the label. Attempts have been made to stick it on. However, this construction has the problem that it is of non-uniform thickness, and that the polyester is too thick to pass through some impact printers unless tied down.

According to the present invention, various kinds of information can be printed on each label at the same time without causing a jam in printing.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a multipurpose label that can be used for multiple purposes and a manufacturing method that can easily manufacture the label.

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems As a result of repeated studies to solve the above problems and achieve the above objects, the present inventors have found that
The present invention has been completed by finding that the purpose can be achieved by disposing a label of a material according to the purpose of use on a release paper using an adhesive suitable for the purpose of use. That is, according to the present invention, a release paper that is divided into a first and a second surface by a vertical center line, a pressure-sensitive adhesive is applied, and information about an adherend is printed on the release paper and arranged on the first surface. The first label and the second information about the adherend to which the pressure-sensitive adhesive is applied are printed on the first label and are placed on the second surface, and the temperature is substantially higher than that of the material of the cellulose paper. A multi-purpose label structure composed of at least a second synthetic sheath label made of a highly durable material, and information about an adherend is placed at a predetermined position on the first label base paper protected by a release sheet. A first step of printing, a second step of punching a label mold on the label base paper, and a third step of removing the remaining matrix member from the punched label base paper,
A fourth step of printing second information about the adherend at a predetermined position of the second labeling material coated with the pressure-sensitive adhesive,
It is a method for producing a multipurpose label, which comprises a fifth step of attaching the label obtained in the fourth step to a predetermined position on the exposed surface of the release sheet formed in the third step.

The release paper base material used in the present invention is, for example, 50 lb electronic data processing paper (50E).
DP).

The material for the first label is, for example,
Examples include 60 pound OCR paper.

The second label paper is, for example,
Examples include plastic and polyester.

As the adhesive, depending on the purpose of use,
Peelable pressure sensitive adhesives, such as those sold by Moore Business Foam Company of Illinois Lake Forest under the trade name Clean Tack, or commercially available Moore Note Sticks, and permanent pressure sensitive adhesives. It uses different agents.

As a label, the third as a delivery label
It is preferable that the above label can be provided on the side of the second label and the fourth label as a caution label can be additionally provided on the side of the first label.

In the manufacturing method, after the fifth step, a step of printing indefinite data on each label at the same time is added, and in addition, one of the two separate webs is basically made of plastic. Put a label on the other,
In principle, a step of forming a web of release paper on which the cellulose paper label stock is placed may be included.

The machines used for manufacturing are the Webtron 1600 brand name or similar machines, and the Trans brand name brand sold by the Quadrel Labeling System Company of Eastlake, Ohio to apply the second label. A Form 1800 labeling device or the like is used.

[0013]

The present invention can solve the problems of the prior art. That is, since the structure according to the present invention has a substantially uniform thickness and can be passed through almost all types of impact printers on which variable data is printed, and since a polyester label is used, a government agency or association can use it. It can be directly adhered to a water heater or other electrical equipment without the need for a transparent polyester tape coating. Further, it is advantageous to replace the 60 EDP OCR paper with removable adhesive for 50EDP for energy guide labels, including caution labels.

The pressure sensitive adhesive of the first label is a peelable adhesive and the pressure sensitive adhesive of the second label is a permanent adhesive. This is because the printing of the first label is information on matters related to the applied equipment, such as information related to the equipment, annual cost, minimum and maximum energy cost etc. , So that it can be peeled off later. This is also because the second label needs to be attached to the attachment device for many years. Further, since the third label is used as a shipping label by printing, for example, the shipping place, it is coated with a permanent adhesive, if possible, 50 ED.
It is preferable to use P paper. The fourth label is a peelable or permanent adhesive that is used as a warning label.

The device for placing the second label on the release paper is capable of applying about 1000 labels per minute. In other words, processing can be performed at a speed of about 76.2 m per minute.
