Basis weight (0.10 to 0.13)
It is formed of a paper material or a synthetic paper having a thickness of about mm. The form base material 11 may be a cut sheet, or may be a leaf of a continuous form. On the surface of the form base material 11,
Columns for entering various information are provided, and at least a part of the information to be entered is to be read by a character reading device.

The silicon layer 12 is provided in a predetermined region on the back surface of the form base material 11 and is a layer having a peeling property that is not completely adhered to the adhesive. The sheet member 13 is a paper material,
It is made of synthetic paper, resin film, or the like, and is attached to the back surface of the form base material 11 so as to cover the silicon layer 12. The sheet member 13 is thinner than the form base material 11,
For example, a basis weight of about 40 to 50 kg / 46 (0.06 to
It has a thickness of about 0.07 mm). An adhesive layer 14 is provided on one surface of the sheet member 13, and the sheet layer 1 is formed by the adhesive layer 14.
3 and the form base material 11 are adhered to each other.

The form base material 11 has a cutout portion 11 in which an outer edge of a region narrower than a predetermined region of the silicon layer 12 is cut out.
a is formed. That is, the region surrounded by the cutout portion 11a is included in the region where the silicon layer 12 is provided in the thickness direction. Further, since the silicon layer 12 is provided on the lower surface of the area surrounded by the cutout portion 11a of the form base material 11, this portion is formed on the lower surface of the form base material 11.
Is separable from The cutout portion 11 a is formed by cutting out only the form base material 11, and the sheet member 1
3 is not cut out.

Next, a method of manufacturing the form 10 will be described. First, the silicon layer 12 is formed in a predetermined region on the back surface of the form base material 11. The silicon layer 12 is formed by applying silicon by printing. next,
