DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a postcard having the same confidentiality as a sealed letter and capable of notifying predetermined information.
The present invention relates to a postcard that can be notified in a state in which notification information is covered and concealed by adhering two adhesive sheets releasably to the information description surfaces on the front and back sides of the postcard body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, postcards that can be notified in a confidential manner so that others cannot visually recognize the notification information include a configuration in which a concealing label is peelably adhered to the notification information display surface of the postcard main body, and a folding perforation. The two or three postcards connected through the fold are folded or tri-folded, or two or three separate postcards are superimposed, and the superimposed surface is used as the confidential notification information display surface. There is known a configuration in which a superimposed surface is peelably adhered. Then, in order to secure a large amount of confidential notification information that cannot be visually recognized, a postcard in which three pieces of postcards that can secure four confidential notification information display surfaces are preferable.

Under the current postal code regulations, postcards such as "postcards" are required on the postcard itself, and the weight of the postcard itself is specified to be 2 g or more.
The weight of the entire postcard is set at 6 g or less. For this reason, in a postcard consisting of three postcard pieces, one for the postcard body is used.
The sheets must have a weight of at least 2 g and the remaining two sheets have a weight of at most 2 g.

In a simple calculation, all three postcards are 2
g satisfies this condition, but in practice,
In order to reduce the total postcard weight to 6 g or less, the weight of at least one piece of postcard other than for the postcard body is less than 2 g because the weight of the adhesive applied to the overlapping surface and the ink for printing or printing various information is added. Must be. For this reason, conventionally, for weight adjustment and exposure of the postcard display,
One of the exposed postcard pieces is cut out, a window is formed, and the width is formed short.

[0005]

However, according to such a conventional example, a step is formed over a wide range due to a notch, a window portion, or the width of the window. When a pressure-sensitive adhesive is used, uniform pressure cannot be applied during pressure bonding, resulting in an unbonded portion. In addition, when mailing a postcard, the stepped portion is caught and the overlapping surface is inadvertently peeled off. In addition, there is an inconvenience that the appearance is poor due to the steps.

The present invention solves these inconveniences, conforms to the provisions of the current postal law, ensures a sufficient amount of notification information, particularly a confidential notification information amount, and improves the printability at the postcard creation stage. It is an object of the present invention to provide a postcard that is excellent, ensures reliable adhesion even in the case of pressure bonding, does not inadvertently peel off the superimposed bonding surface, and has a good appearance.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, a postcard according to the present invention is provided in a predetermined portion on one side of a first sheet with a size smaller than the first sheet. And a postcard body sheet formed by adhering a second sheet on which a postcard is displayed on the exposed surface so as to be difficult to peel off; And two adhesive sheets for covering and concealing the information provided on the information writing surface, wherein the adhesive sheet on the same side as the second sheet is attached to the second sheet. And an address display section is provided on one of the exposed surface of the second sheet and the exposed surface of one of the adhesive sheets.

The postcard according to the second aspect of the present invention is the postcard according to the first aspect of the present invention, wherein the folded break portion is broken when it is mountain-folded, and is attached to the connected second sheet. It is formed of perforations that can separate the landing sheet, preferably so-called micro perforations.

Further, the postcard according to the third aspect of the present invention is the postcard according to the first or the second aspect, wherein the postcard has a bent portion at a bonding portion between the first sheet and the second sheet. Along the portion, the portion can be peeled over a predetermined width.
