Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a form with a card, and more specifically, a form having a light-diffraction structure provided for imparting a high-class feeling and security to a form which is detachably attached, The present invention relates to a card-equipped form in which card-specific information corresponding to a card user or information corresponding to the card-specific information is printed on both the card and the form, respectively.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, bank cards, credit cards,
As a method of sending cards such as membership cards and union members cards to users, a card mounting column with a notch is provided in the margin of the form on which the address, name, etc. are printed.
A method of inserting the corner of the card into the cut and fixing the card and sending it, and applying adhesive in a pattern to the card mounting column provided in the margin of the form with the address printed, and using this adhesive There is known a method of bonding and sending the products.

However, the former method uses a non-impact printer capable of printing kanji data and bar code at high speed because the printing quality is high after the card is attached to the form because the state of attachment of the card to the form is weak. It is difficult to print on the card surface by using the card, and when it is necessary to print the card-specific information unique to the card user on the card surface, this information is printed on the card surface before mounting the card on the form. I had to keep it.

In the latter method, the card can be securely fixed to the form, but since the adhesive is partially applied, a printer having a strong printing pressure like an impact type printer when trying to print from the upper surface of the card. However, there is a drawback that the non-impact type printer cannot be used like the former. Further, if an adhesive is applied to the entire surface of the card mounting section in order to solve such a problem, the adhesive may stick out of the periphery of the card and contaminate a printer or the like during printing.

Thus, conventionally, the process of printing the card-specific information peculiar to the card user on the card surface and the process of printing the information corresponding to the card-specific information on the form are performed in separate processes, and therefore the form is formed. There is a risk that the wrong card will be stuck on the card, and in order to prevent this kind of problem from occurring, the card-specific information printed on the card and the information printed on the form must be reliably associated with each other. There was a problem that the complicated work of attaching the to the form was required.

[0006] To solve such problems,
In JP-A-5-24382, the thickness is 100 to 300 μm.
Create a card using a slightly thin card base material and attach it to a form via a peeling film layer, a pseudo adhesive layer, an adhesive layer, etc. so that it can be peeled off. Printers such as non-impact printers and dot impact printers,
A printing method for printing on both a card and a form and a form with a card printed by this printing method have been proposed.

[0007]

By adopting the form with a card and the method of printing on the form with a card as described above, the card-specific information printed on the card and the information printed on the form can be surely obtained. The complicated work of attaching the card to the form while supporting it was eliminated, and the problem that the wrong card was stuck on the form was solved. However, such a card is not as thick as an ordinary plastic card and lacks a high-grade feeling, and at the same time, there is no security measure against forgery and there is a problem in security.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and solves the problems of the above-mentioned conventional techniques, and a card-attached form in which a card having a high-class feeling and security is removably attached to the form. , And to provide a form with a card in which information is correctly printed on both the card and the form.

[0009]

The above-mentioned problems can be solved by the present invention described below. That is, in the invention described in claim 1, the back surface side of the card material having the pseudo adhesive layer on the back surface side of the card base material is attached to the surface of the form base material via the adhesive layer to form the pseudo adhesive layer surface. A card is attached so that it can be peeled off via the card, and the card user's unique information printing area is provided on the surface of the card. In a form with a card provided with an information printing area for printing information corresponding to, the form with a card is characterized in that the card is provided with an optical diffraction structure.

The invention according to claim 2 is the same as claim 1.
Check that the card user's card-specific information is printed in the card-specific information printing area on the card surface of the form with card, and the information corresponding to the card-specific information is printed in the card information printing area. It consists of a form with a printed card. The invention according to claim 3 is the voucher with a card according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the light diffraction structure has brittleness. The invention according to claim 4 is the voucher with a card according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the light diffraction structure is provided in a unique information printing area of a card. Incidentally, in the present invention, the light diffraction structure refers to one having a structure for diffracting light, such as a hologram or a diffraction grating.

[0011]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, embodiments of the material and structure of a form with a card of the present invention will be described in detail. First, as the card base material constituting the card, paper,
A plastic sheet, a synthetic paper, or a laminated body of these can be used. The thickness of this card substrate is usually 100 to 300.
It is preferably about μm. When the thickness of the card base material is less than 100 μm, when the user peels it from the form and uses it as a card, the rigidity is insufficient and it is easily bent, which is not preferable. If the thickness exceeds 300 μm, when printing on both the card and the form while the card is attached to the form, the thickness of the part where the card is attached and the part where it is not attached This is not preferable because the difference becomes large, and the rigidity of the portion where the card is adhered becomes too strong, impairing the suitability for the printer.

If necessary, a concealed printing layer, a pattern or other printing layer, a magnetic layer, etc. are provided on the card base material.
The present invention is characterized by further providing a light diffraction structure. The surface on which the light diffraction structure is provided may be on the front surface side or the back surface side of the card substrate. Then, a print area for finally printing the card-specific information is provided on the front surface side of the card base material, and a mat processing for improving the printability can be applied to this area. Further, on the back side of the card base material, a laminated material portion having a pseudo adhesive layer for cleanly peeling the card is provided to form a card material, and the back side of the card material is
A form with a card is constructed by sticking it to the surface of a form base material via an adhesive layer. With this configuration, when the card is peeled off, it can be easily peeled off at the interface between the pseudo adhesive layer surface of the laminate portion and the layer above it.

In the present invention, the light diffractive structure provided on the card substrate is intended to enhance the design of the card and give it a high-class appearance, and at the same time prevent forgery and alteration and provide security. Typical examples of the light diffractive structure that can be used for such a purpose include a planar or volume hologram or a diffraction grating. In the hologram, a relief-type hologram in which a hologram image is recorded as minute irregularities in a flat hologram is a thermal transfer method or a thermal transfer sheet used for a label or a sticking method, which is a means for providing it on a card substrate. It is easy to process into a seal, and the work of thermal transfer and label (seal) application is easy, and it can be used suitably.

When the hologram is divided functionally and designally, a relief hologram with a total reflection layer having a light-reflective metal thin film layer or a partially reflective layer in which a layer corresponding to the light-reflective metal thin film layer is transparent Relief holograms with can be used. Particularly in the latter case, the hologram itself is transparent, and the entire material can be made transparent by using a transparent material for the adhesive layer attached to the hologram.
When such a hologram is provided on a card base material, even if characters or a pattern are provided on the base material side in advance by printing, etc., it is possible to see the underlying character or pattern through the hologram, so that the design and forgery, It can be used to further improve both sides of prevention of alteration.

Besides, it is possible to use a rainbow hologram or a Lippmann hologram which are excellent in design, and it is also possible to use an optically produced diffraction grating or a direct drawing type diffraction grating by an EB drawing method or the like. In particular, the direct drawing type is suitable for the purpose of preventing forgery since it is possible to form an arbitrary pattern and it is almost impossible to make the same thing by inferring it from the reproduction light. Also in the case of the diffraction grating, as in the case of the hologram, it can be laminated on the card substrate surface by using a thermal transfer sheet or a label (sticker) processed.

Any of the above light diffraction structures can be manufactured by a known technique. However, its manufacturing requires special and highly accurate technology, and therefore cannot be easily imitated and manufactured. Therefore, the provision of this on the card base material is a countermeasure against forgery and alteration, but when it is necessary to further enhance the effect of preventing forgery and alteration, the brittleness of the light-diffraction structure is improved by known means. It can also be given. When brittleness is imparted to the light diffractive structure, the light diffractive structure is destroyed and cannot be reused even if the card is forged or altered by reattaching it.

Usually, when a light diffractive structure is provided on a card, for example, a thermal transfer sheet having a light diffractive structure is prepared in advance and the light diffractive structure is formed on the card base material or the like, as described above. Or a label (seal) having a light diffraction structure is prepared in advance, and the label is adhered to a card substrate via a heat-sensitive adhesive or a pressure-sensitive adhesive to be laminated. The method is adopted. In any of the above methods, the light diffractive structure itself has a multilayer structure, and for example, a transparent protective layer [or, in the case of a label (seal), a transparent film layer] /
The light diffraction pattern forming layer / the reflective thin film layer (the light reflective metal thin film layer or the light transmissive material layer having a refractive index larger than that of the light diffraction pattern forming layer by 0.3 or more) / adhesive layer is laminated in this order. It is common.

And, in the light diffraction structure having such a structure,
Examples of methods for effectively imparting brittleness include the following methods. (1) A method in which a brittle layer is added and laminated between the reflective thin film layer and the adhesive layer. This brittle layer is formed of a resin layer which is embrittled by dispersing an inorganic and / or organic fine powder having no adhesiveness with the resin component in the resin,
Between the reflective thin film layer and the adhesive layer, the two layers are adhered with sufficient adhesive strength, and when the light diffractive structure is to be peeled from the card substrate, the layers of the brittle layer are peeled off. It serves as a starting point and triggers the destruction of the light diffraction structure.

(2) A method in which the adhesive layer itself contains an inorganic and / or organic fine powder as a filler in the same manner as described above to form the adhesive layer as a brittle adhesive layer. When this method is used, when the light diffractive structure is peeled from the card substrate, the brittle adhesive layer causes delamination, which triggers the destruction of the light diffractive structure,
The surface of the brittle adhesive layer remaining on the reflective thin film layer becomes uneven due to the uneven adhesive force, which hinders reuse. Further, in the case of this method, an intermediate layer (anchor coat layer) for strengthening the adhesiveness between the reflective thin film layer and the brittle adhesive layer may be provided, whereby an optical diffraction structure is provided. If you try to peel off the
The brittle adhesive layer surely adheres to the reflective thin film layer, and the optical diffraction structure is reliably destroyed by the delamination of the brittle adhesive layer, and the reuse prevention effect is further ensured.

(3) A method of additionally laminating a patterned release layer or an entire release layer between the transparent protective layer (or transparent film layer) and the light diffraction pattern forming layer. When using this method, when the peeling layer is a patterned peeling layer such as a stripe, when attempting to peel the light diffractive structure from the card substrate, in the portion where the patterned peeling layer exists,
Usually, the transparent protective layer (or the transparent film layer) is peeled off at the interface between the patterned peeling layer or the patterned peeling layer and the light diffraction pattern forming layer, and the transparent protective layer ( Or, since the transparent film layer) and the light diffraction pattern forming layer are firmly adhered to each other, peeling is performed between any one of the light diffraction pattern forming layer, the reflective thin film layer and the adhesive layer, or with these layers. It occurs at the weakest part, such as the layer interface. Therefore, at least the light-diffraction pattern forming layer is fractured and the light-diffraction structure is destroyed. When the release layer is the entire release layer,
When the light diffraction structure is peeled off, peeling usually occurs at the interface between the transparent protective layer (or transparent film layer) and the entire release layer, and in some cases, at the interface between the entire release layer and the light diffraction pattern forming layer. And transparent protective layer (or transparent film layer)
Or the entire transparent protective layer (or transparent film layer) and the entire release layer are removed. Therefore,
Any of the layers below the entire release layer or the layers below the optical diffraction pattern forming layer remaining on the card substrate side, that is, the entire release layer, the optical diffraction pattern forming layer, the reflective thin film layer, the adhesive layer, etc. Is a relatively thin layer formed by coating, vacuum deposition, sputtering, or the like, and even if it is attempted to peel off all of these layers again, the strength is weak and the layer is cut or deformed on the way and cannot be reused.

Next, the structure of the laminated body portion having the pseudo adhesive layer provided on the back side of the card base material will be described.
The structure of the laminated body portion having the pseudo adhesive layer is not limited to one kind, and various structures can be applied. As a specific example of the constitution of the above-mentioned laminate, a film made of two kinds of materials having low mutual adhesiveness, for example, a polyethylene terephthalate film (hereinafter PET film)
And polyethylene film (hereinafter PE film) or polypropylene film (hereinafter PP film), polybutylene terephthalate film (hereinafter PBT film) and PE film or PP film, etc., such as a combination of polyester resin film and polyolefin resin film, etc. Both films can be formed by melt-extruding a resin made of the same material as one film, for example, polyethylene or polypropylene as a pseudo adhesive layer, and laminating both films.

That is, when the two films are a combination of a PET film and a PE film, polyethylene is melt-extruded as a pseudo-adhesive layer and the two are laminated to form the PE film and the melt-extruded polyethylene layer. Although it adheres strongly, the adhesive strength between the PET film and the melt-extruded polyethylene layer (pseudo-adhesive layer) is weak, and only a pseudo-adhesive state is formed. The PET film can be easily peeled off from the adhesive layer surface).

Therefore, using the above-mentioned laminated body, the PET film surface of the laminated body is adhered to the back side of the card substrate by using an adhesive or an adhesive for dry laminating, and the laminated body is further laminated. By bonding the surface of the body on the PE film side and the surface of the form base material with an adhesive, it is possible to create a form with a card in which the card can be peeled off on the pseudo adhesive layer side. The structure of the laminated body is composed of two films having low adhesiveness to each other as described above, and a pseudo adhesive layer having strong adhesiveness on one surface and weak adhesiveness on the other side is interposed between them. It may be used as a layer and laminated, but in this case,
It is also possible to omit the film on the side having a strong adhesiveness to the pseudo adhesive layer.

That is, as the film of the laminate, for example, P
By using ET film alone and extrusion-coating a polyolefin-based resin such as polyethylene or polypropylene capable of forming a pseudo-adhesive state on this surface as a pseudo-adhesion layer, the PET film surface and the extrusion-coated polyolefin-based resin layer Since a pseudo adhesive surface can be formed between them, this may be used as it is as a laminate.

Further, as another method for producing a laminated body having a pseudo adhesive layer, for example, a resin having relatively poor adhesiveness is dissolved in a solvent with respect to the PET film to prepare a coating solution, which is used as a coating solution. It is also possible to form a pseudo adhesive layer by coating and drying by means such as coating or printing, and use this as a laminate. In the above laminated body example,
In each of the cases, a PET film is used, and a resin layer having relatively weak adhesiveness is laminated as a pseudo adhesive layer on the PET film surface. In these cases, the laminate is the PE
The T film surface is adhered to the back surface side of the card base material via the adhesive layer or the adhesive layer, and the pseudo adhesive layer side is adhered to the surface of the form base material via the adhesive layer.

When the card base material is peeled off from the form base material, the pseudo adhesive layer surface and the PET film are peeled off, so that the PET film itself is laminated as the outermost layer on the back surface of the card. It will be included in the layer structure. In this respect, the PET film is excellent in scratch resistance, chemical resistance, stain resistance, and the like, and is not only effective for forming a pseudo adhesive surface as a film of a laminated body but also good as a back surface layer of a card. Has performance. As a film that can be used for such a laminate, in addition to a PET film, a PB film can be obtained by appropriately selecting a resin for the pseudo adhesive layer.
T film, PP film, polyvinyl chloride film,
Various films such as a polystyrene resin film can be used.

As a further different method of forming a laminate, a film is not used at all, and a solution of a resin having low adhesiveness is directly applied to the back surface of the card base material by a means such as coating or printing to make a pseudo. You may form an adhesive layer,
A laminate having a pseudo adhesive layer can also be obtained by sequentially applying a solution of two kinds of resins having low adhesiveness to the back surface of the card base material. As such a combination of resins, for example, a combination of various resins such as a nitrified cotton-polyamide resin and a chlorinated rubber resin can be used. In this case, since the resin first applied to the back surface of the card base material is the outermost layer on the back surface of the card, it is preferable to select a resin having performance required for the outermost layer of the card such as scratch resistance. Further, when this resin has weak adhesion to the back surface of the card substrate, a pretreatment such as primer coating may be performed.
