It is. An adhesive 15 is applied to the surface of the release sheet 11 side of the film or paper 12. When using such a pressure-sensitive type flocking seal 10, after releasing the release sheet 11, the surface of the film or paper 12 on which the adhesive 15 is applied is placed on the adherend and the flocking 14 When pressure is applied from above, the flocking seal 10 is adhered to the adherend. Heat-sensitive type flocking seal 1
When 0 is used, the film or paper 1 shown in FIG.
Nylon, EVA, urethane film, and other hot-melt resins are used as 2. In the heat-sensitive type flocking seal 10, the release sheet 11 and the adhesive 15 are omitted. After peeling off the release sheet 11 in the same manner as described above, a film or paper or the like 12 is placed on the adherend, and a pressure is applied while heating with an iron or the like from above the flocking 14. Alternatively, the paper 12 or the like is melted by heat, and the flocked seal 10 is attached to the adherend.

With the above configuration, a scented seal can be sold, so that the taste of the seal purchaser can be satisfied and the commercial value of the seal can be increased.
