In general, for celebrations such as weddings, seventh birthday parties, first birthdays, and opening ceremonies, as well as for investigations such as funerals, a wreath company is asked to send an ornamental wreath decorated with various flowers to express congratulations or condolences.

In the conventional wreath, flower arrangements are made in a circular shape in the middle of the wreath table using fresh flowers or artificial flowers, and the rear end is decorated with wild flowers or broad-leaved leaves of harmony to form a wreath.

After the garland is formed, a phrase of congratulation or condolence (hereinafter referred to as'corresponding phrase') is printed on the one hand to those who have been inclined or investigated. A) printed label strip is attached, and a wreath ribbon with a ribbon in the middle is attached.

The garland ribbon has a large ribbon in the center, and a label strip made of a wide nylon (satin material) has both bottoms down around the ribbon, and the label strip is formed by writing the corresponding phrase and the identity phrase.

A technique related to such a conventional wreath for congratulations and condolences is disclosed in Utility Model Publication No. 9455211 registered by the Korean Intellectual Property Office.

A thermal printer for printing by applying heat to conventional thermal paper has been developed and disclosed. A pressure spring is disposed between the rear surface of the thermal head and the lock arm supporting the platen roller disposed opposite to the printing surface side of the thermal head, It is a technology in which the platen roller and the thermal head are brought into close contact with a predetermined pressing force by the pressing force of the pressing spring.

A platen roller facing the surface is mounted.

Conventional thermal printers are generally manufactured and sold up to 2 to 8 inches depending on the length of the thermal head on the market, which is the same as the width of thermal paper.

Thermal printers with a thermal head length of 2 to 4 inches are most often manufactured and are supplied at a low price. However, a thermal head with a length of 6 to 8 inches is expensive and difficult to manufacture.

In addition, conventional wreaths, wreath ribbons, and thermal printers have the following problems.

First, conventionally, a wreath made once is collected and recycled, and only a wreath ribbon is printed and attached to form a wreath. However, there is a cumbersome problem that the delivery person must collect the wreath ribbon and bring it to the office to print the stationery. .

Second, the label length of the wreath ribbon used for one wreath is at least 1.5 to 4m, but there is also a problem that the price of the fabric formed of nylon is expensive.

Thirdly, since the thermal head of the thermal printer is manufactured the same size as the width of the thermal paper, it is not necessary to print a certain width on both sides of the label strip of the garland ribbon, but the price of the thermal printer is very high because a large thermal head must be installed. There is also a rising problem.

Fourth, since the thermal head of the thermal printer is heated in full width, there is a problem in that the color of the pre-printed portion on both sides of the thermal paper is deteriorated.

Fifth, the width of the label strip of the wreath ribbon needs to be about 4 inches, but since the width of the pattern printed on both sides occupies 1 inch each, the thermal printer must use 6 inches, so the price of the thermal printer increases significantly. have.
