[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as labels to be affixed to containers, letters for product display or product promotion are printed on the surface of a sheet of a desired shape, and an adhesive is applied to the entire back surface of the sheet. Such a label 3 'is generally called a tack label, and is used by being attached to the outer surface of a container 7' as shown in FIG. In addition, as a film to be externally fitted to a container, a tubular heat-shrinkable film on which characters for product display or product advertisement are printed on the inner surface is known. After shrinking, it is used by being attached to a container by heat shrinkage. Further, a labeled heat-shrinkable film in which the tack label 3 'is attached to the heat-shrinkable film may be used for the purpose of enhancing the advertising effect or the like.

[0003]

However, when the conventional tack label 3 'is adhered to the container 7', the entire surface is tightly adhered along the outer surface of the container 7 '.
Even if there is only a flat display or the like, even if the container 7 'on which the tack label 3' is stuck is displayed at a store or the like, it is inconspicuous in general, and the advertising effect is limited. Also, in the conventional heat-shrinkable film with a label, since the entire surface of the label 3 ′ is in close contact with the outer surface of the heat-shrinkable film, a container equipped with the heat-shrinkable film with a label may be used in stores. Etc., the advertising effect of the label 3 'was limited.

[0004] In view of the above problems, it is an object of the present invention to provide a label and a labeled tubular film capable of exhibiting an excellent advertising effect when attached to an object such as a container.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and a label according to the present invention is a label having an adhesive layer 9 provided on a back surface thereof. Are formed, and the back surface of the protruding portion surrounded by the cut line is non-adhesive.

[0006] Since the label of the present invention has the above structure, when it is attached to a curved surface, the protruding portion can be floated from the curved surface.

The labeled tubular film according to the present invention is a labeled tubular film which can be externally fitted to a container and has a label 3 adhered to the outer surface thereof. A line is formed, and the back surface of the protruding portion of the label 3 surrounded by the cut line is non-adhesive.

[0008] Since the labeled tubular film of the present invention has the above-mentioned structure, the projection of the label 3 can be lifted from the curved surface of the labeled tubular film when mounted on a container. Further, the tubular film can be easily detached from the container by cutting or the like.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

<First Embodiment> First, the label 3 of the present invention will be described as a first embodiment. The label 3 of the present embodiment is, as shown in FIGS. An adhesive layer 9 is provided on the back surface of the material 4, and cut lines 1 a and 1 b are formed, and the protrusion 2 surrounded by the cut lines 1 a and 1 b is formed.
The back surfaces of a and 2b are formed to be non-adhesive.

More specifically, a printed layer 5 such as an advertisement is provided on the surface of a flexible base material 4 such as a synthetic resin film, and the entire back surface of the base material 4 is coated with an adhesive. An adhesive layer 9 to be formed is provided.

A pair of cut lines 1a and 1b are provided in a curved shape having an end (substantially C-shaped and substantially inverted C-shaped).
The tongue-shaped portions surrounded by the respective cut lines 1a and 1b are formed on protrusions 2a and 2b that float from the sticking surface when the label 3 is stuck on the curved surface.
The portion other than 2b is formed on the attachment portion 13 attached to the attachment surface.

The back surfaces of the protrusions 2a and 2b are formed to be non-adhesive by applying a non-adhesive coating film 6 on the surface of the adhesive layer 9, and the back surfaces of the attachment portions 13 are formed. In the figure, the adhesive layer 9 is exposed.

A method of manufacturing the label 3 having the above configuration will be described. The label 3 is formed by applying an adhesive to the entire back surface and printing an advertisement or the like on the surface of the base material 4 on which the adhesive layer 9 is formed. After the application, the non-adhesive coating film 6 is formed on the surface of the adhesive layer 9 corresponding to the back surfaces of the protrusions 2a and 2b. The printing is performed by a known printing method such as screen printing or letterpress rotary printing. Thereafter, the cutting lines 1a and 1b are formed by punching with a punching blade.

Next, in the case where the label 3 having such a configuration is used, for example, as shown in FIGS. A case of mounting on a container having a cylindrical body 7a and a cylindrical neck 7b having a smaller diameter than the body 7a will be described.

The label 3 is placed on the outer surface (two-dimensional curved surface) of the neck 7b of the glass bottle 7 with the pair of protrusions 2a, 2a.
Adhere so that b is located in the left-right direction. At this time, the attachment portion 13 comes into close contact with the glass bottle 7 via the adhesive layer 9, but the back surfaces of the protruding portions 2a and 2b are non-adhesive, and thus float from the outer surface of the glass bottle 7, resulting in FIGS. As shown in FIG. 3, the appearance is as if a bow ribbon having a pair of protrusions 2a and 2b as wings of a butterfly was attached.

The label 3 of the present embodiment is a
When affixed to a curved surface such as the neck 7b, the projections 2a, 2b
Since the surface is raised from the curved surface and protrudes to both sides, it is novel and eye-catching to a consumer, thereby exhibiting an excellent advertising effect. At this time, since the attachment portion 13 is bonded to the glass bottle 7, there is little possibility that the attachment portion 13 will be lifted by being pulled by the protrusions 2a and 2b,
The appearance is not impaired, and the protruding portions 2a and 2b are surely conspicuous.

The adhesive layer 9 is formed by applying a pressure-sensitive adhesive to the entire back surface of the base material 4 and the non-adhesive coating film 6 is printed on the surface of the adhesive layer 9 to form the protrusion 2a. , 2b can be formed to be non-adhesive, so that the manufacturing cost is not required, and the non-adhesive coating film 6 can be formed on the rear surface of the protrusion having any shape.

The label 3 of the present embodiment can exert its function and effect by being attached to a curved surface such as the outer surface of the glass bottle 7, but the curved surface has a two-dimensional shape such as the neck 7b. In addition to the curved surface, the outer surface of a substantially prismatic container in which a flat surface and a curved surface are mixed, and a three-dimensional curved surface curved also in the height direction are included.

<Second Embodiment> Next, the labeled tubular film 14 of the present invention will be described as a second embodiment. As shown in FIG. On the outer surface of the heat-shrinkable film 8
The label 3 of the first embodiment is adhered such that the protrusions 2a and 2b are located in the circumferential direction of the heat-shrinkable film 8.

The heat-shrinkable film 8 is made of a styrene-butadiene copolymer, polyester, or the like, and has a printed layer on the inner surface.

The method of manufacturing the labeled tubular film 14 having the above structure will be described. First, a rectangular sheet-like heat-shrinkable film made of polyester or the like is printed by a known printing method such as gravure printing. The sheet-like film is formed into a tubular shape such that the print layer is on the inside, and the overlapping both ends are bonded to form a long tubular film. Then, after a plurality of the labels 3 are attached in parallel at regular intervals in the longitudinal direction of the long cylindrical film, the long cylindrical film is removed to a desired length (the cylindrical film 14 with a label). To produce a plurality of labeled tubular films 14. The label 3 is manufactured by the same method as in the first embodiment.

Next, the case of using the labeled tubular film 14 having such a configuration will be described.
First, as shown in FIG.
4 is spread out and covered from above the glass bottle 7, and then the heat-shrinkable film 8 of the labeled tubular film 14 is thermally contracted to be mounted on the glass bottle 7 as shown in FIG.

At this time, since the rear surfaces of the protruding portions 2a and 2b of the label 3 are not adhered, they float from the outer surface of the heat-shrinkable film 8.

The labeled tubular film 14 of the present embodiment
Are mounted on the glass bottle 7 when the label protruding portions 2a,
Since 2b floats from the outer surface of the heat-shrinkable film 8, it is novel and eye-catching to the consumer, thereby exhibiting an excellent advertising effect. At this time, since the attached portion 13 of the label 3 is adhered to the heat-shrinkable film 8, there is little possibility that the sticking portion 13 will be lifted by being pulled by the projecting portions 2a and 2b. 2b certainly stands out.

Since the label 3 is not directly adhered to the container such as the glass bottle 7, the tubular film 14 with the label can be easily detached from the container by cutting the tubular heat-shrinkable film 8 or the like. As a result, it is convenient when the container is reused. Furthermore, when the container is a polyester bottle and the polyester resin is recycled,
This is preferable because no foreign matter is attached to the container.

In the second embodiment, the heat-shrinkable film 8 is used as the tubular film, but a stretch film having elasticity may be used.

Further, in the second embodiment, the example in which the tubular film 14 with the label formed in a tubular shape in advance is attached to the glass bottle 7 has been described, but the sheet-like film to which the label 3 is adhered is placed in the container. A cylindrical shape formed by winding around the outer periphery is also within the intended range of the present invention.

Further, the shape of the container to be mounted is not particularly limited. As shown in FIG. 8, even if the container is mounted on a substantially prismatic container 15 having an outer surface having a mixture of a flat surface and a curved surface, an excellent advertisement effect can be obtained. I can play.

If a cut is made in the heat-shrinkable film 8 and a label 3 is adhered thereon, the heat-shrinkable film 8 can be broken by the cut portion when the label 3 is peeled off. In addition, the labeled cylindrical film 14 can be more easily detached from the container.

<Other Embodiments> In the first and second embodiments, the shapes of the cut lines 1a and 1b (the protrusions 2
The shapes of a and 2b) are not particularly limited, and may be U-shaped, U-shaped, or arc-shaped. It is not an essential requirement to provide a pair of cut lines symmetrically, and the cut line may be asymmetric or only one cut line may be provided. In short, the cut line is provided as a curved line having an end, and when the label 3 or the labeled tubular film 14 is mounted on a curved surface, the protruding portion separates from the attachment portion 13 along the cut line. It is sufficient if the device is configured to float from the curved surface.

Further, the fact that the adhesive layer 9 of the label 3 is formed of a pressure-sensitive adhesive is not an essential requirement in the present invention, and may be formed of a heat-sensitive adhesive.

In the first and second embodiments, the non-adhesive coating film 6 is formed on the back surfaces of the protruding portions 2a and 2b of the label 3. However, as shown in FIGS. A non-adhesive coating film 6 may be formed on both sides of the label 3. Further, in the first and second embodiments, the label 3 has the adhesive layer 9 formed on the entire back surface of the base material 4, and a part thereof is made non-adhesive by applying the non-adhesive coating film 6. It was attached part 1
3 may have a configuration in which the adhesive layer 9 is formed only on the back surface or the back surface on both sides. In short, the label 3 is attached to the adhesive layer 9
It is only necessary to be able to adhere to the curved surface such as the outer surface of the glass bottle 7 or the heat-shrinkable film 8 via the through hole, and that the back surface of the protruding portion is formed non-adhesively.

The material of the substrate 4 is not particularly limited, and may be synthetic paper, metal foil, or the like. Further, the shape of the substrate 4 is not particularly limited, and a square, a circle, an ellipse, or the like can be adopted.

[0035]

As described above, the label of the present invention is more novel than the conventional tack label which is entirely adhered because the non-adhesive projections float from the curved surface when affixed to the curved surface. And it becomes a prominent label, and when it is attached to, for example, a container or the like displayed in a store as a product, it exhibits an excellent advertising effect.

In addition, the label-like tubular film of the present invention is a novel and conspicuous label-like tubular film because the protruding portion of the label floats from the outer surface of the label-like tubular film when mounted on a container. Thus, when the container is displayed at a store, an excellent advertising effect is exhibited.
