[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a label (herein, there is a requirement that can be used to convey a prescribed matter by the visual observation of another person or by a reader of a machine such as a computer). All the types of cards described are to be generically expressed)) together with other requirements to form a continuous label on the paper so that only the label part can be cut off. In particular, the present invention relates to a label continuum capable of continuously producing labels on a sheet as individualized labels.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, at regular meetings, trips, public celebrations, recruitment of new members, and other events held by various organizations, a participation certificate, a certificate, etc. worn on the day to participate in those applications, etc. Need to be sent together with the permission or approval notice for
Often, it is necessary to issue a label such as a passport, identification card, credit / credit card, or a label for displaying various insurances. With the issuance of these labels, a welcome message, an explanation of the meeting, and documents that convey personality are being sent.

Conventionally, in such a case, a document in which sentences such as messages and explanations are described and a label are
They were prepared and sent separately.

[0004]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Therefore, in preparation of these, of course, at the time of issuance, the necessary items corresponding to each individual should be filled in to prepare the necessary labels and documents as at least two types. However, there is a problem that it is necessary to combine them into an envelope, which is troublesome and troublesome, and that the combination of the label and the document is mistaken for that of another person.

According to the present invention, a label and a document for each individual are integrated, and separate ones are continuously formed on a sheet so that the label part can be separated from other document parts and used as a label. Further, it is an object of the present invention to provide a continuous label body in which a label and a document are integrally formed and cut into individual pieces and enclosed in an envelope.

[0006]

Means for Solving the Problems The present inventor has made repeated studies to solve the above problems and achieve the above object, and forms a label unit and a document unit into an integrated form, and The present invention has been completed by finding that the form can be described as separate contents for each individual and the purpose can be achieved by separating and using it for each individual. That is, the present invention provides a printing area which is provided at a predetermined position on at least one surface of each form base material of a plurality of continuous form base materials, in which a series of required items of the form base material is printed, and these print areas. Among them, a transparent film that is readable and laminated on a specific print area in which matters relating to an individual corresponding to the form base material are printed and forms a label part, and the label part can be separated from the form base material. A label continuum having a perforation line is used as a gist.

In the present invention, at least one of the required items (hereinafter referred to as information) printed by the printer is printed on at least one side of the form material, but when a high performance printer is used for printing, the information printed is information. Can be changed from a section in which is printed to form a form (hereinafter referred to as a section) to a section. In the next step, at least a portion of the printed area on at least one side of each section is laminated with a transparent film so that at least a portion of the laminated area is partially separable. Thereby,
The person who sent this form can cut this part and use it as a label. When the base material is supplied in the form of a continuous web, in the process following the previous process, the transparent film is laminated and the label part and the document part, which are designed to be separated, can be bent as a form that is integrally formed. Disconnect. Further, in the present invention, the above-mentioned form is enclosed by forming an envelope so that it can be shipped.

[0008]

According to the present invention, a series of required information of notification items to be notified is printed in the print area provided on at least one surface of the form base material, and personal information of the recipient is printed in the specific print area. A transparent film is laminated on the specific print area to form a label portion. In this way, the form base material on which the required information is printed and the label portion is formed is mailed to each recipient as a mail document. The recipient who receives this postal document reads a series of required information of the notification items notified by the form base material from the print area after opening. Then, the recipient cuts the label portion covered with the transparent film along the perforation line from the form base material to obtain the label portion on which the personal information of the recipient is printed.

In the printing step, at least one required item is printed on at least one side of the form substrate on which the predetermined item has been printed in the previous step, and a programmable controller and a high speed printer are provided. It is preferable to use known ones, such as periodically mailing to the subscriber or using a computer to mail advertisements and / or petitions to potential customers or donors. It is used by mass mailing organizations, etc., the controller can be programmed in a state-of-the-art by destination, and in the form of a controlled code, a small drop of ink can be applied to an inkjet printer such as a label material. It is adapted to trace the characters of each address onto a web or a continuous body such as an envelope, and a print head is also provided, for example, in US Pat. It is capable of also be used of the type described in US 3,911,818. This printing process is roll-feeding or web-feeding printing. This known printing is to print information peculiar to each individual (hereinafter referred to as personalization) or a document portion on both sides of the web at the same time. The printed form can be accurately personalized, and the label part where the transparent film is laminated in the next step is
Some of the information in the non-stacked document parts is also matched, printed and personalized. Such a thing is sequentially and successively performed. In this printing step, at least one piece of information is sequentially printed on at least one part of each of the plurality of sections of the form substrate supplied in the previous step, and at least one of the contents of the information is a plurality of pieces. It is possible to print differently in at least two sections of the section, which allows the form to be personalized.
At least part of the information that is printed differently between the two sections is to be printed in the vicinity of each label part and in the part that is divided after the subsequent cutting process. Some of the contents of the printed information can be changed and printed in each classification, and personal information such as surname, first name, address, member number, contract number, etc. is printed. .

In the next transparent film laminating step, a transparent film is laminated on one side or both sides of a form base material such as paper with an adhesive and pressure so as to cover the printed part so that the printed portion can be seen through. It is a process to do. Therefore, it may be a known material, material, etc. used here, for example, the outer surface of the printed cover material of the thin cover wood, or
Loose-leaf notebooks are laminated on one or both sides of the oak tag material for perforation and tabs on the edges of the split pages, for example polyethylene terephthalate, polyvinyl acetate, etc. It can be used for laminating such a transparent protective film or a transparent film band to which an adhesive has already been applied, a transparent film on which necessary items are printed, or a device for laminating these. This step is a step of protecting at least a part of each of the forms printed in the previous step, while making it possible to see the printed part through the same. This is done by bonding at least a part of each form so that its longitudinal axis extends along the length of the form. Since the width of the form base material is considerably wider than that of the transparent film, a portion not covered with the transparent film may be present on at least one surface of each of the sections obtained in the above step. The portions (28 and 30 in FIGS. 2 and 3) where the transparent films are laminated have a printing section (in FIGS. 2 and 3) that includes at least a specific section (labeled portion 46 in FIGS. 2 and 3). It is preferably at least a part of 18, 20).

The next step of forming a discontinuous boundary cut line is to surround at least enough of the compartment so that the compartment on which the at least one requirement is printed and the transparent film is laminated can be separated from the rest as a label. In the process of making a discontinuous boundary cutting line, a so-called perforation, when the label portion extends in the longitudinal direction of the form, the perforation is formed in one line extending in the longitudinal direction, and the label portion is left or right of the form. If the label part is separated from the left and right edges of the form, it is also formed into a linear shape that extends in the longitudinal direction even if it is adjacent to the lateral edge of If the label portion is separated from any of the chopsticks of the form, the label portion is formed into a linear shape extending all around the label portion.
The equipment used in this process is the well-known punch and die cutter, and typical such equipment is a latent postcard or one-sided, two-sided, three-sided or coupon By tearing along a pre-cut discontinuity such as a small hole line or broken line that surrounds all four sides,
Used in printers for advertising and booking materials with potentially pre-addressed prepaid office round-trip postcards or coupons that can be torn from a sheet of advertising / promotional printed material, and is currently available each Sunday edition of the Washington Post. Has been issued with some of such potential cards and coupons, and devices similar to those used to cut perforations or cuts in these cases may be used to practice the invention as well.

The above steps are common to the present invention, and the following steps are subsequent steps.

The cutting step is performed so that each of the labels is bounded by at least one fold line and placed in a section when it is necessary to fold the form obtained through the above steps. It is bent, and is bent in a lateral direction into a U-shaped, V-shaped, Z-shaped, W-shaped, etc., by an ordinary plow-shaped bending device, between the edge of the form and the bending line, or two At least one section of each form between the fold lines should be labeled. Then, each bent form having a label in the lateral direction is cut by a normal cutting device.

In the next step of enclosing in the envelope, each of the forms bent in the previous step is enclosed in the envelope in order. In the envelope, the material to be the envelope is supplied in a vertically opposed manner following the previous step, and the adhesive is periodically supplied to the opposing surfaces to the left and right edges of the longitudinal edge and to the lateral direction. Envelopes are formed on the envelopes, and addresses are printed on each envelope using a print head connected to a high-performance printer controlled by a corresponding time delay and a controller, or the form is folded. It can also be printed on the front of the envelope so that it can be seen through a window in the correct position on the front of the envelope. Known items used by mass mailers such as direct mail and merchants can be used. After enclosing the form in the envelope thus formed, the envelope is cut into individual pieces and mailed.

The form continuum having the label continuum is cut into individual pieces after making perforations, but the cutting may be performed before or after bending the form.

Since the present invention is constructed in this way, the recipient of the envelope made and mailed as described above can unpack the envelope and take out the enclosed form. This form has a label section that serves as a membership card, and it was sent from the sponsoring organization.If it is bent, fold it back.For example, an officer of the organization listed on the form can use the recipient as a member. You can welcome and read the documents such as the benefits and responsibilities of the member or the usage of the card, and you can separate the label part that becomes the membership card from the document part by perforation. Next, put it in a wallet or a folded-type card holder as a membership identification card, or if the backside film is pressure-sensitive and adhesive-peelable, peel it off and the label part It can be held as an identification label in the jacket wallet of the garment or inserted into the container and presented as needed. In addition, if there is an industrial chemical that is not personalized in this way and is newly discovered to have dangerous properties, the supplier of the industrial chemical may be assigned to each of a plurality of customers. On the other hand, when sending with a new warning label to be attached to a chemical container with the same content as "same as the customer", it can also be applied to give instructions to attach the label and a warning to see the warning etc. As described above, the recipient separates the label portion from the document portion and attaches it to the container or the like.

Other embodiments from the above description are possible within the scope of the invention, in which more than one label section on each form of the web is, for example, a couple's library card in one form. Side by side, or two pages,
Some of the three or more forms that have a label on only one of the forms, ie some of the above exceptions in that the cut form can be folded and placed in an envelope. Some are obtained by merging those that come out of the web supply printing line. This device is a multi-line web-fed print multi-line, at least one, but not all, of which has the exceptional characteristics mentioned with respect to the preceding description, with several lines coming out as usual. It is collated, folded and / or enveloped.
