Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an invitation ticket to an event issued by using a mail form.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when mailing an invitation ticket in which individual attribute data can be machine-read so that it is easy to manage invited guests, a postcard in which a machine-readable code is printed at the same time as the address is printed on the address printing surface. In many cases, it is sent as an invitation ticket (a postcard itself becomes an invitation ticket), or an invitation ticket with a machine-readable code printed is sent in an envelope, or an invitation letter and other documents are enclosed together.
In some cases, the label is not printed or printed directly on the invitation ticket but is first printed or printed on the label, and the label is attached to a postcard or invitation ticket base material and mailed. Furthermore, there is also used a method in which a laminated card is printed on a laminated card of strongly adhered card form and then mailed in an envelope, and an upper layer card peeled from the intermediate layer is used as an invitation ticket. A window opening envelope is generally used for the above-mentioned sending envelope. OCR (Optical Caracter Rcognition), a magnetic method, and a bar code are generally used as machine-readable codes for individual attribute data.

[0003]

When mailing using the envelope described above, at least 62 yen is required.
There is a problem that the shipping cost is too high. On the other hand, postcards only require a postage of 41 yen, but there is a problem that the amount of information to be posted is small and the machine reading part is easily soiled because it is exposed. Further, the lack of security is a big problem, and there is a risk that a third party may come to the booth with a counterfeit ticket copied by a copying machine during the mailing. Furthermore, if you insert the postcard into the reading machine at the reception desk and collect it as it is, nothing will remain on the customer side. As described above, when a card is formed by sticking a label, there are problems that a step is formed and that the sticking position accuracy cannot be sufficiently obtained. The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and there is no concern that the machine-readable code printed on the invitation ticket will be contaminated, there is little concern about security such as copying, and mailing at low cost. The purpose is to provide an invitation ticket that can

[0004]

According to the present invention made to solve the above-mentioned problems, an invitation ticket is connected to a short side of a standard postcard lateral position size form piece through a cut line, and the invitation piece is connected to the short side of the form. At the same time that the address is printed, at least the attribute data that can identify the invitee individual is printed on the invitation voucher by a bar code, and then the printed surface is folded along the cutting line with respect to the form piece so that it can be removed again. The gist is a concealed postcard with an invitation ticket, which is sent to each customer after pressure and adhesion.

[0005]

According to the present invention, by using the concealed postcard, there is no concern that the machine-readable code printed on the invitation ticket surface will be contaminated, and there will be less concern about security such as copying during shipping, and the invitation ticket. Can be mailed to selected customers at economic cost. In addition, the amount of printed information is larger than when using a postcard, and a part of it can be concealed and mailed as confidential information in the same manner as an invitation ticket.

[0006]

The present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram of a first embodiment of a concealed postcard with an invitation ticket according to the present invention. FIG. 1A is a development view of the mail form. From the left, the form piece 1 in the horizontal position of the standard postcard 1
2 is connected via a folding perforation 6, and a half-size form piece 1 is connected to the right side thereof via a cut perforation 7. There are perforations (not shown) at the top and bottom of each form piece, and the form pieces are connected one after another. Each form pitch is set to 4 inches, and the left and right marginal punches 8 send the form in a fixed direction. The front surface of the mail foam is coated with a weak removable adhesive and the back surface 9 is coated with a strong adhesive. The print information is printed on the front surface of all the form pieces. The form piece 3 on the left side is the personal address information recording area, the left half surface of the form piece 2 is the public information recording area, and the right half surface is the individual address. It is the confidential information recording area of, and the half-size form piece 1 at the right end is an invitation ticket 1 for individual
Has become. The bar code 4 on the invitation ticket 1 is compatible with the destination so that necessary personal attribute data can be mechanically read from the individual name, member number, gender, age, invitation ticket type, invitation date, etc. Is printed. A magnetic reading method or OCR may be adopted instead of the bar code, but in the magnetic reading method, since the magnetic recording layer is formed on the invitation ticket, the data writing amount is large, but the cost is too high. On the other hand, although the OCR has a merit that a person can confirm the OCR character, it is inferior in reliability to the bar code, and the cost of the apparatus is much higher than that of the bar code apparatus at the same reading speed. The other part of the invitation ticket 1 and the public information recording area may be printed in advance. That is, there is no problem in using both printing and printing.

After outputting each information to each recording area, after printing, the portion of the marginal punch 8 is cut off and the folding perforations 6, 7 are formed.
Then, as shown in FIG. 1 (b), it is folded in three in a Z-shape, and the individual-addressed form is cut at perforations to obtain a concealed postcard 10 with an invitation ticket for each individual. The concealed concealed postcard with an invitation ticket 10 is pressed and pressure-bonded to form a fixed-size postcard shown in FIG. Therefore, the bar code 4 of the invitation voucher 1 is completely hidden, and there is no need to worry that the bar code 4 of the invitation voucher 1 becomes dirty during the mailing process or is copied and forged by a third party. Since a pressure-sensitive adhesive to be described later is used so that it will not stick again if someone peels it off intentionally, the history of opening can be immediately known, and the opposing treatment can be performed. The recipient of the concealed postcard 10 with the invitation ticket is shown in FIG.
As shown in (d), the invitation ticket can be easily peeled off from the back of the postcard and brought to the information hall.

FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of the second embodiment. Figure 2
(A) is a development view of the mail form, in which the invitation ticket 1 and the form piece 3 in the horizontal position of the standard postcard are cut from the left and the perforation 6
, And the form piece 2 in the lateral position of the standard postcard is connected via the folding perforations 6 on the right side thereof. Up to this point, there is a difference only by reversing the mail form in FIG. 1, but in FIG. 2 (a), the address information area for individuals is reduced to half that in FIG. 1, and the printing area is expanded accordingly. ing. Similar to FIG. 1, the front surface of the mail form is coated with a removable pressure-sensitive weak adhesive and the back surface 9 is coated with a strong pressure-sensitive adhesive. The recipient can easily peel off the invitation ticket as in the case of FIG.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory view of a third embodiment of a concealed postcard with an invitation ticket according to the present invention. In this case, it is a concealed postcard that is folded in half, and one of the form pieces in the horizontal position of the standard postcard is omitted, and is composed of one form piece 3 in the horizontal position of the standard postcard and the half-size invitation ticket 1. There is. Further, only the surface is coated with a pressure-sensitive weak pressure-sensitive adhesive that can be re-peeled. Therefore, the function of hiding and transmitting the surface of the bar code 4 of the invitation ticket 1 remains unchanged. In the present embodiment, the printing space is only half of the horizontal position of the standard postcard, but it can be preferably used when the amount of information to be printed is small, and the manufacturing cost of the concealed postcard is low. ,

By using the invitation ticket with the bar code, the organizer of the event or the like can process information as shown in FIG.
It will have a utilization function. The invited guest who brought the invitation ticket to the reception desk in the first step mechanically reads the barcode of the invitation ticket that he / she brought, and the date and time of entry (input from the keyboard of the reader.) Attribute data is automatically entered. From these data, it is verified that the guest is the invited guest, and admission is permitted. In this case, if the ticket type can also be discriminated, for example, if it is a pass ticket, it can be used at the next venue or the next day if it is returned to the guest without collecting it. For the above bar code reader, a device in which a reading unit and a recording unit are integrally configured at the same time is used, and further, a CPU (central processing unit), a ROM (read only memory), a RAM (main memory), a hard disk, etc. The operation of the reader as a whole is controlled by a program written in the ROM. The data once input in the second step is, for example, the number of visitors for each time period,
The number of visitors at each venue, age distribution of invited guests, etc. can be calculated and aggregated, and the information processing data can be output by a non-impact laser printer or the like in the third step.
In the fourth step, the output data can be analyzed to determine the composition of the next invited guest and a strategy such as superior venue management.

Fine paper can be used for the mail form used for the concealed postcard with an invitation ticket of the present invention. A flexographic printing method using a rubber relief plate can be suitably used to provide an adhesive layer on the whole surface or a part thereof. The pressure-sensitive adhesive used in the present invention will be described in detail below. The removable pressure-sensitive adhesive used in the mail form of the present invention does not adhere even when the adhesive layer comes into contact with the high-quality paper of the base material, and does not adhere until pressure contact between the adhesive layers occurs, and it is removable again. The adhesive main agent, the adhesive strength adjusting agent, the additives and the like are mixed in the following proportions. 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 has an affinity and has 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 or print from the pressure sensitive adhesive in the information recording areas Y and Z. 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. The strong adhesive layer 14 that cannot be peeled off can be obtained by controlling the above-mentioned adhesive force adjusting agent. In the present embodiment, adhesive layers are respectively provided on the facing form surfaces, and the adhesive layers adhere to each other to exhibit weak adhesive properties with removability or strong adhesive properties with non-removable properties. The same effect may be obtained between the base material and the adhesive layer, and the type of adhesive is not limited to the above.

The concealed postcard with an invitation ticket according to the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention. For example, the form design is not limited to the layouts shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, and may be reversed, and the size of the invitation ticket is not limited to the half size of the standard postcard.

According to the present invention, by using the concealed postcard, there is no fear of contaminating the bar code printed on the invitation ticket at the same time, and there is no concern about security such as copying during delivery. In addition, you can select a two-fold or three-fold personal form that is most suitable for the required print information, and you can conceal some confidential information at the postcard fee and mail it. In addition, since the bar code records the individual attribute data of each invited guest, read this when entering the
By processing information, various data useful for customer management and event management can be obtained.
