Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a label, and more particularly to a method for manufacturing a label in which predetermined information can be arbitrarily recorded by hand or the like on the label and then the recorded portion can be covered with a transparent film.

Temporarily attach a release paper to the back of the transparent film that covers the label, open the transparent film using the release paper, write the specified information on the label, such as the name of the product, the name of the product, the date, etc., and then remove the release paper from the transparent film. However, there are already in practical use labels whose written parts can be covered with a film by pressing a transparent film onto the label.

However, a method for manufacturing such labels in large quantities and at low cost has not yet been proposed.

Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a method by which such labels can be manufactured efficiently.

Simply put, the present invention is to form label portions by printing, for example, on label paper to be supplied and transported, and then cover each label portion in its entirety by covering at least a portion of each label portion with a release paper. Covered with transparent film,
In this method of manufacturing a label, the label portion is then cut out along the outline.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view showing an embodiment of the present invention.

A release agent such as silicone is applied to the surface of the support mount 1, and an adhesive layer is formed on the back surface of the label paper 2. The label paper 2 is temporarily attached to the surface of the support mount 1 by this adhesive layer, and is wound around the supply roll 3. The band-shaped label paper 2 is pulled out from the supply roll 3 together with the supporting paper 1 and fed and transported in the longitudinal direction thereof.

On the supply path of the label paper 2, there is a printing device 4. Crimping roll5. A punching device 6 and a separate roll 7 are arranged in sequence, and the label paper 2 (supporting paper 1) is finally wound up by an unnecessary portion take-up roll 8 and stored in a pan 9 as a finished product. Note that another winding roll may be used instead of the pan 9.

The printing device 4 includes, for example, an offset printing machine, and prints necessary patterns such as characters 1 and figures on the surface of the label paper 2 that is continuously fed, and prints the label portions 21 so that the patterns are spaced apart from each other.゜21- are sequentially formed.

The label paper 2 on which each label portion 21 has been formed is brought to the pressure roll 5 together with the supporting paper 1 . The pressure roll 5 consists of a pair of upper and lower rolls 51 and 52, the lower roll 51 is given a driving force, and the upper roll 52 is displaced so that its vertical position can be changed appropriately according to the overall thickness. It is considered possible.

A roll 11 for supplying the transparent film 10 and a roll 13 for supplying the release paper 12 are provided behind and above the pressure roll 5 . The transparent film 10 is made of a synthetic resin such as polypropylene, and a material with excellent moisture and water repellency is used. An adhesive layer such as a pressure-sensitive adhesive is formed on the back surface of the transparent film 10, and the transparent film 10 is pulled out from the film supply roll 11 and brought to the tension roll 14. On the other hand, the release paper 12 is pulled out from the release paper supply roll 13 and brought to the tension roll 14 . This release paper 12 has its surface coated with a release agent such as silicone.
In this embodiment, its width is smaller than the width of the label portion 21 formed on the label paper 2.

The release paper 12 pulled out from the roll 13 is temporarily attached to the back surface of the transparent film 10 on the tension roll 14. Therefore, the pressure roll 5 has the previous label paper 2.
Separately, a transparent film 10 with a release paper 12 temporarily attached to its back side is supplied.

On the pressure roll 5, the label portions 21.21. A transparent film 10 is pressure-bonded onto the label paper 2 on which "-" is formed.At this time, a release paper 1 is attached to the back side of the transparent film;
2 is temporarily attached, the release paper 12 covers a portion of each label portion 21, as shown in FIG. That is, the release paper 12 covers a part of the label paper 2 in the width direction, and the transparent film 10 covers this release paper 1.
2 and the exposed remaining portion of the label paper 2.

Thereafter, the supporting paper 1 is further transported and brought to the punching device 6 in the state shown in FIG. - This punching device 6 consists of a lower roll 61 and a die roll 62, and the printing device 4
3, so that each printed label portion 21 can be punched out along its respective contour 22, as shown in FIG. That is, the punching device 6 cuts the uppermost transparent film 10 . along the contour 22 of the label portion 21 . When making a cut in the release paper 12 interposed between the label paper 2 and the transparent film 10 and the label paper 2, the cut 23 is not made at approximately the center of the width of the label portion 21, so that the label is not cut into the liner. It is completed in a state where it is temporarily attached continuously on 1. The unnecessary parts of the transparent film 10 etc. punched out in this way and the finished product parts (necessary parts) supported by the support mount 1 are separated by a separation roll 7, and the unnecessary parts are wound up on a take-up roll 8. The necessary portions are accumulated in the pan 9 in a layered manner.

In this example, the finished product was arranged to be continuous on the support mount 1, but it is also possible to punch out each label part separately, including the support mount 1, in the punching process. good.

FIGS. 4 and 5 are diagrams for explaining how the label manufactured in this way is used.

In a part of the label portion 21 formed on the label paper 2, a release paper 12 is interposed between the transparent film 10 and the label paper 2. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, the transparent film 10 is opened using the release paper 12, and arbitrary information such as a name, product name, or date can be handwritten, printed, or stamped on a part of the label portion 21. The label paper 2 can then be peeled off from the support mount 1 and applied as a label to the article 15 as shown in FIG. At this time, the part on which arbitrary information has been previously written can be covered with the transparent film 10 in the same way as other label parts (parts originally covered with the transparent film 10 at the manufacturing stage). That is, after recording the desired information on a part of the label part 21, the release paper 12 is removed from the transparent film 10 and the transparent film 10 is pressed against the part, thereby covering this part with the transparent film 10.

FIG. 6 is an illustrative view showing another embodiment of the invention. In this embodiment, the printing device 4 and punching device 6 are changed from the embodiment shown in FIG. That is, the printing device 4 is a lithographic printing machine that includes a stamp stand 41 disposed below the label paper 2 (support mount 1) and a printing plate 42 provided above the label paper 2 in correspondence with the stamp stand 41. configured. The printing plate 42 prints a predetermined pattern at regular intervals on the label paper 2 that is intermittently transported, and prints a predetermined pattern on the label portion 21 (the first
form). Further, the punching device 6 provided in front of the pressure roll 5 corresponds to a punching table 61a arranged below the label paper 2 (supporting paper 1) and a punching table 61a arranged above the label paper 2. The mold 62a is provided with a mold 62a.

The punching die 62a punches out the transparent film 10 or the like along the contours 22 (FIG. 2) of the label portions 21 formed at intervals on the label paper 2 that is intermittently transferred, leaving the support mount 1 intact.

This embodiment is characterized in that a photosensor 16 is provided between the printing device 4 and the pressure roll 5.

The photosensor 16 includes a light emitting element and a light receiving element, and light from the light emitting element is irradiated onto the label paper 2, and reflected light therefrom is sensed by the light receiving element.

The signal from the photosensor 16 (light-receiving element) is, for example, at a high level when detecting a portion of the label paper 2 as it is, and is at a low level when a label portion printed by the printing device 4 is detected. Go down.

The timing adjusting means 17 that receives such a signal includes, for example, a differentiating circuit, and this differentiating circuit is connected to the photosensor 1.
6 outputs one pulse when it detects the trailing edge of the label portion. In response to this pulse output, the timing adjustment means 17
acts on the drive circuit of the roll 51 to stop the transport of the label paper 2 (supporting paper 1). On the other hand, the trailing edge of the label portion is detected and the printing plate 42 and punching die 62 are driven synchronously based on the aforementioned pulse signal. Note that in order to perform such control, the printing device 4 and the punching device 6 must be arranged at a predetermined interval in the transport direction of the label paper 2. In this embodiment, whereas the embodiment in FIG. 1 is capable of continuous processing, intermittent processing is performed.

In this embodiment, the finished label is wound onto a roll 18 along with the backing paper to facilitate the subsequent application process.
