[0004] This makes it possible to efficiently process data relating to visitors by reading the barcode printed on the card. However, when the card is used as a name tag, the data must be removed from the form. It is inconvenient to set the card in a holder, put the holder in a pocket, or secure the card to clothes with a safety pin or the like. In addition, the form and the card must be separately created and then integrated, resulting in a complicated configuration and high cost.

[0005] As another configuration, there is an invitation formed of a form with a peelable adhesive label. This is because an adhesive label made of woven or non-woven fabric is laminated on a part of the surface of the form via a release paper layer, address information and barcode are printed on the other part of the form, and personal information is printed on the adhesive label. Is what is being done. This allows for efficient processing of data about visitors and allows the adhesive label to be used as it is as a name tag by peeling it off and attaching it to clothing, but the adhesive label may damage clothing. Yes, and cannot be reused. In addition, adhesive processing and label processing are required, the configuration is complicated, and the cost increases.

The barcode 6 is printed as needed. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of a detailed configuration of the card 4. The solid line in the figure represents a cut (cut portion). The card 4 is formed by cutting a part of the base material of the form 1 together with the film 7. The number and length of the uncut portions (unextracted portions) 4 ′ are the thickness and strength of the form 1, the card 4
The card 4 is formed so that the card 4 can be easily separated, and does not fall off depending on the load applied during the manufacturing process or during transportation.

The mail form with a card as described above is simultaneously printed in the address printing column 3 and the recording area 5 in the form of a continuous form, and then each form is cut off to form an envelope whose address portion can be seen through. Since it is put in as it is and mailed to invited guests such as exhibitions, issuance work does not take time. The inviting customer who has received the mail form can use the card 4 by separating it from the form 1 along the cut section. Then, the guest 4 is invited to bring the card 4 to the venue, and the barcode is read at the reception to obtain the total information.
Further, the card 4 can be used as a name tag by fixing the card 4 to a breast pocket or the like of clothes using the cut as described later. On the other hand, the back of the form 1 after the card 4 is separated can also be used for a questionnaire, in which case, the visitor can save the trouble of entering a name and the like.

Although the structure of the card 4 and its use as a name tag are variously conceivable, for example, as shown in FIG. 3A, a cut 8 is provided near the outer edge of one side of the card 4. In this configuration, the outer edge of the one side is inserted into the pocket 9 as shown in FIG.
There is a method in which the pocket 9 is sandwiched between the notches 8 and fixed at the closed end 8 ′ of the cut 8.

Further, as shown in FIG.
