Description

Precious Metal Card {CARD USING PRECIOUS METALS}

The present invention manufactures business cards, cards, commemorative plaques, plaques, ornaments, frames, wall hangings, etc. using precious metals such as pure gold, sterling silver and platinum, and relates to precious and luxurious precious metal cards with printed parts printed therein. .

Generally, synthetic cards, precious metal cards, and pure gold foil cards are manufactured by coating precious metals such as pure gold and pure silver, which are recognized as expensive in terms of gloss and texture, after processing in a thin film (thin plate) state.

Despite the high cost of the raw materials themselves, the noble metal thin film manufactured in this way is economically available for mass production, and is highly applicable to industrial use. It can diverge.

The precious metal card according to the prior art is disclosed in 1999 Utility Model Publication No. 7797 and shown in Figure 1, a precious metal thin plate (1) having a plurality of fine uneven surface, and the upper surface of the metal thin plate (1) and Upper and lower transparent vinyl (2, 3) adhesively fixed to the lower surface, OHP film (4) laminated on the upper transparent vinyl (2), and laminated on the OHP film (4) and the lower transparent vinyl (3) It is characterized by consisting of coated vinyl (5).

Here, the thin metal plate 1 should be thin enough not to be several micrometers (μm) to be economical manufacturing and industrial use while using expensive precious metals.

However, in consideration of economics alone, direct printing is impossible due to the thin metal sheet 1, and even if the direct printing is performed, the surface of the metal sheet 1 is damaged by printing ink, resulting in blurred or dirty printing. There is a disadvantage that the metal particles are non-uniform in the metal thin plate (1).

Therefore, the precious metal card according to the prior art used a double to multiple coating scheme to minimize the amount of precious metal used while printing and to protect the printed portion from being erased by external force.

In the noble metal card of the prior art, a hologram, transparent auxiliary vinyl, etc. are laminated between the OHP film 4, the upper transparent vinyl 2, and the like in a multi-coating manner.

However, the precious metal card of the prior art basically includes a metal thin plate, and a pair of (upper and lower) coated vinyls (5), a pair of (upper and lower) transparent vinyls (2 and 3) and an OHP film (4). Since it has a laminated structure of 6 layers in total.

The precious metal card of the prior art has a relatively high amount of coating member such as coated vinyl, OHP film, transparent vinyl, etc., which is a major cause of cost increase, and also requires a complicated manufacturing process through multiple coatings. The disadvantage is that it is impossible to produce very thin and inexpensive products.

For example, even if the hologram or the OHP film is removed from the laminated structure, the structure has a total of five structures, which is complicated and uneconomical.

In particular, the precious metal card of the prior art has a double to multi-coating method, so that after using for a predetermined time rather than a long time, as can be experienced by ordinary manufacturing personnel or consumers using the precious metal card, Peeling easily occurs between the transparent vinyl and the OHP film, between the transparent vinyl and the transparent auxiliary vinyl, or between the transparent vinyl and the coated vinyl due to human hand or friction with an external object, and the like. As one vinyl member positioned is approached to be spaced apart in turn, the printed portion printed on the inside of the vinyl member is erased.

This drawback is not only found in precious metal cards, but is also easily found on the surface of any product which is multi-laminated or multi-coated in a double coated or multi coated manner.

On the other hand, as disclosed in the 2002 Utility Model No. 288138, the pure gold thin plate commemorative card according to the prior art, as disclosed in the manufacturing process diagram shown in Figure 2, in the preparation step (S1), stamping foil with pure gold deposited (genuine gold stamping foil) is prepared, which is not yet directly printable on the pure gold side and requires a step of transferring the pure gold portion.

That is, the pure gold foil memorial card of the prior art uses a plastic film or paper as a fixing material. For example, in the prior art, a method of depositing pure gold on a PET film is used, which is different from the case where a pure gold thin film or a pure gold thin film is produced by a rolling method.

Then, in the prior art, using the thermocompression transfer machine in the pure gold thermocompression transfer step (S2), the pure gold attached to the stamping foil is transferred to one surface of a fixing material such as paper or plastic.

Thereafter, in the cutting step S3, the fixing material to which the pure gold has been transferred is cut in accordance with a standard such as paper or card.

Then, in the prior art, after the pure gold surface printing step (S4) and the transparent vinyl coating step (S5) to perform the printing directly on the pure gold foil, it is configured as a souvenir (S6).

On the other hand, even if printing on the pure gold plate as described in the prior art, there is a disadvantage in that the print quality is reduced, and also transfer the pure gold to the fixing material from the stamping foil is deposited pure gold in order to print directly on the pure gold Since a pure gold thermocompression-transfer step such as, for example, is required, a relatively expensive manufacturing process is required as compared with the case where a relatively small amount of pure gold is formed into a thin sheet by rolling.

In addition, it is apparent to those skilled in the art that the pure gold plate used in the conventional precious metal card is almost impossible to print directly on such pure gold plate because its thickness is extremely thin.

The gold plated memorial card according to the prior art as described above, insisted that the production time is relatively short and the manufacturing cost is reduced compared to the method requiring a double or multiple coating in the conventional pure gold rolling method.

However, the conventional pure gold thin plate commemorative card according to such a claim takes a longer preparation procedure than the simple pure gold rolling method, and must encounter a problem such as necessarily performing a pure gold thermocompression transfer process on a fixing material such as paper or plastic. .

In addition, the pure gold foil memorial card is performed by performing a transparent vinyl coating, a primary vinyl coating, a secondary vinyl coating to protect the printed layer portion or the printing surface or the printing portion disposed on the pure gold plate, as a result described above as a prior art Since double or multiple coatings are necessary, there are still disadvantages of being thick.

Accordingly, the present invention is to solve the above-described problems in the prior art, and as a single laminating method, since a printing portion is directly printed on the inner surface of the coated vinyl, no separate printing portion protective coating is required, thereby providing a simple laminated structure. Accordingly, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a precious metal card which is easy to manufacture and has a reduced consumption of coated vinyl and the like, and has excellent durability and minimizes the use of precious metal.

An object of the present invention is a precious metal card having a precious metal thin film manufactured to spread the precious metal to have an extremely thin thickness in a rolling manner, the coating vinyl laminated on the upper and lower portion to surround the precious metal thin film; By laminating the precious metal thin film is achieved by a precious metal card and a manufacturing method comprising a printing portion printed directly on the inner surface of the coating vinyl.

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

First Embodiment

In the drawings, Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view for explaining the configuration of the precious metal card according to the first embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 is an exploded perspective view of the precious metal card shown in Figure 3, Figure 5 is a precious metal shown in Figure 3 This is a manufacturing process of the card.

First, the present invention is characterized by having a simple laminated structure in which a printing portion is directly printed on the inner surface of the coated vinyl by a single laminating method.

In the simple laminated structure of the present invention, for example, the printing portion is printed directly on the inner surface of the coated vinyl before laminating, and the coating portion is laminated on the upper and lower portions of the precious metal thin film once, so that the printing portion is relatively It means a structure that is in close contact with the inner surface of the coating vinyl than the surface of the thin noble metal.

Thus, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, the main body 10 of the present invention having the laminated structure has a thin noble metal thin film 40 is produced by spreading a small amount of noble metal, such as pure gold in a rolling manner.

Here, the noble metal thin film 40 is suitable for a thickness of a few microns, it can be spread to have a predetermined planar area corresponding to the thickness ratio and the mass ratio of the noble metal.

The upper and lower portions of the noble metal thin film 40 are coated or laminated with a conventional coating vinyl 20.

Here, the coating vinyl 20 can be folded to cover the upper portion of the other side by folding one side based on the reference line 29 indicated by a dotted line to surround the noble metal thin film 40 as a single body, Alternatively, the coating vinyl 20 having the same area may be present in a plurality (eg, a pair), and may be coated by any one of the methods in which the noble metal thin film 40 is separately stacked on the upper and lower portions.

However, the inner surface of the coated vinyl 20, that is, the inner surface facing the noble metal thin film is subjected to the usual surface treatment so that the printing sites 30 and 31 can be printed stably.

The conventional surface treatment used in the present invention means any one of surface energy change treatment, corona treatment, and special coating treatment.

That is, the surface energy change treatment has the same meaning as the corona treatment, and the surface energy (unit: Dyne) corresponding to the surface state is given by giving an electric shock to the surface of a predetermined material such as plastic sheet, film, or coated vinyl. It is a kind of surface energy change process that enables printing on the surface of the material by keeping it within the range of 40 to 42 Dyne to allow fine irregularities to be formed on the surface.

In addition, the special coating treatment is a conventional process of physically coating a liquid on a surface of a predetermined material, thereby allowing proper surface energy according to chemical characteristics, and also printing on the surface.

On the inner surface of the coated vinyl 20 surface-treated in the above manner, the printing portions 30 and 31 are directly printed or printed by a conventional printing machine such as a laser printer, an industrial inkjet printer, etc. capable of color and monochrome printing. It may be printed by an offset method, a silk printing method, or the like.

The printing part 30, 31 is any one of a line art form, a photograph form, and a picture form, and includes text, photographs, drawings, texts, patterns, and the like to be used for business cards, cards, commemorative plaques, plaques, ornaments, frames, wall paintings, etc. It can be any of numbers, characters, icons, labels, logos, shapes, and lines.

At this time, any one of the vertical alignment, horizontal alignment, vertical placement, left and right arrangement of the contents of the upper side printing portion 30 corresponds to a direction that can be normally seen when the user looks down from the top. In order to be controllable, it is preferable to pre-edit in predetermined editing software (page maker, Adobe Express publishing company, QuickExpress, illustration, Photoshop, etc.) of the computer device linked to the printing press.

In the same manner, any one of the vertical alignment, horizontal alignment, vertical alignment, and left and right arrangement of the lower side printing portion 31 corresponds to the direction that can be normally seen when the user looks up from the bottom, and in the editing program for the printing press, It is preferable to edit beforehand.

In this case, the upper side printing portion 30 and the lower side printing portion 31 are printed opposite to each other based on any one of vertical alignment, horizontal alignment, vertical placement, left and right arrangement, and then the coated vinyl 20 is When laminated to the top and bottom of the noble metal thin film 40, it will be shown to the user as if normally printed on both sides (front and bottom).

The laminating or coating of the coated vinyl 20 is performed by a vinyl laminating apparatus such as a hot rolling roll continuous feeding method or a thermocompression method commonly used in a general printing company.

In the present invention, the noble metal thin film 40 is protected by the coated vinyl 20 in a state where the printing portions 30 and 31 are located, and has a three-layer laminated structure, and the same printing portions 30 and 31 as a plurality. It can be cut to produce a single body (11).

In the case of a business card is cut as described above and can be used immediately, and in the case of a card, a memorial plaque, a plaque, ornaments, a picture frame, and a wall hanging picture, the finished product is completed through a processing step fitted to a predetermined frame of each product.

Referring to Figure 5 describes in detail the manufacturing method of the precious metal card of the present invention.

First, in step S10 of unfolding the coated vinyl, the operator cuts or unfolds the coated vinyl in accordance with mass production and the specifications of the coating apparatus, and then spreads it flat on a horizontal workbench of a printing press.

Next, in the step of performing printing on the inner surface of the coated vinyl (S20), the operator inputs / edits / outputs the content to be printed using the aforementioned editing software.

The worker moves the coated vinyl on which the printing site is printed from the printing machine to a predetermined work table.

Subsequently, in the step (S30) of stacking the noble metal thin film on the printing site at one side of the coated vinyl, the worker brings the noble metal thin film prepared in advance by the rolling workbench. Afterwards, the worker gently places the precious metal thin film on the upper part of the printing site located on one side of the coating vinyl baseline.

Then, the worker performs a step (S40) of folding the other side of the coating vinyl and laminated on the noble metal thin film.

On the other hand, although not shown, when the coating vinyl is composed of two members having the same area, the bottom coating vinyl is placed on the workbench, and a thin noble metal thin film is laminated on the printing site of the bottom coating vinyl.

Thereafter, the worker laminates the upper coated vinyl on the noble metal thin film. At this time, the worker is laminated on the basis of the direction in which the printed portion is interviewed with the noble metal thin film.

Then, the worker laminates the coating vinyl laminated on the upper and lower portions of the noble metal thin film so as to have a three-layer lamination structure by using the above-mentioned vinyl laminating device in the step of laminating the coated vinyl (S50).

Thereafter, the worker cuts the laminated coating vinyl to a standard by using a conventional scissors, a cutter, an office press cutter having a ruler, and the like to separate the product into individual products.

In the case of a business card, it can be directly used as a single product, and in the case of a product requiring a predetermined frame, the finished product is processed through the process of inserting the cut and separated into the frame.

The present invention does not directly print on the precious metal thin film, nor on the precious metal thin film or its reinforcement reinforced with reinforcement, nor directly on the coating material coated with the precious metal thin film. There is an advantage that it can be applied to both the noble metal thin film produced and the predetermined noble metal thin film produced by pure gold thermocompression transfer.

In addition, the present invention is printed after the inner surface of the coated vinyl before printing, thereby having a clear print quality without bleeding.

In addition, the present invention has a simple laminated structure because the printing site is directly printed on the inner surface of the coating vinyl and then contacted with the noble metal thin film so that a separate coating is not required to protect the printing site.

Second Embodiment

The precious metal card of the present invention and its manufacturing method described in this embodiment are the same as the first embodiment except that they have a plurality of precious metal thin film layer structures in which different materials are laminated. Therefore, the same or similar reference numerals will be given to the same or corresponding components in FIGS. 3 to 8, and the description thereof will be omitted here.

In the drawings, Figure 6 is an exploded perspective view of the precious metal card according to a second embodiment of the present invention, Figure 7 is a cross-sectional view for explaining the combined state of the precious metal card shown in Figure 6, Figure 8 is shown in Figure 6 Process of manufacturing precious metal card.

As shown in Figure 6 and 7, the other main body 100 according to the second embodiment of the present invention has a laminated structure of four layers, having a thin film by a rolling method as a release material, easy to mutual bonding when pressing The first and second precious metal thin films 40 and 140 are each made of any one of precious metals.

That is, the first precious metal thin film 40 may be the pure gold mentioned in the above embodiment.

In addition, the second noble metal thin film 140 may be any metal that can be easily bonded with pure gold while forming a thin film in a rolling manner such as pure silver and platinum.

The coated vinyl 20 may be a printed surface after printing the surface to be interviewed with the first and second precious metal thin films 40 and 140.

By the operator, the first noble metal thin film 40 is laminated on the upper portion of the printing portion 31 at one side portion of the coated vinyl 20, and the upper portion of the printing portion 30 is formed on the other side portion of the coated vinyl 20. Two noble metal thin film 140 is stacked.

Thereafter, the worker grasps both ends of the coated vinyl 20 based on a reference line such as a dotted line, and folds them overlapping each other.

Alternatively, the worker stacks the first noble metal thin film 40 on the upper portion of the printing site 31 at one side of the coated vinyl 20, and then, the second noble metal thin film 40 on the first noble metal thin film 40 After stacking 140, one side of the coating vinyl 20, on which the precious metal thin films are not stacked, may be folded and overlapped with the other side.

In the manufacturing method of the noble metal card according to the second embodiment of the present invention is the same as described above, the step of laminating the first, second noble metal thin film of different materials (pure silver, pure gold) on the printing site ( The difference is that S31 and S32 are included.

Accordingly, it is preferable that the operator perform the step S41 of overlapping one another by overlapping or stacking one side of the coated vinyl so as to overlap the other side so that the coated vinyl can surround the outside of the first and second precious metal thin films.

The main body 100 of the present invention manufactured as described above has a first precious metal thin film 40 such as pure gold on one side and is shown to the user as a background of a printing portion, and the second precious metal thin film 140 such as pure silver on the other side By being displayed to the user against the background of other printing areas, it is possible to further improve the quality and quality of products such as business cards and cards using both sides.

As described above, even if the noble metal card of the present invention produces a thin film of noble metal with the minimum thickness allowed by the rolling method, since the actual printing portion is printed on the inner surface of the coated vinyl, the lowest thickness is considered in consideration of economical efficiency. The noble metal thin film can be used at the same time excellent printing clarity, there is an advantage that can be economically mass-produced because no additional coating to protect the printing site is required.

In addition, the precious metal card of the present invention has an effect that can securely maintain the precious metal thin film at the same time, while protecting the clear printing area, even with a laminated structure of at least three layers.

In addition, since the precious metal card of the present invention does not have a double or multiple coating sites, there is no separation phenomenon between the film and the transparent vinyl, or there is no peeling phenomenon between the coated vinyl and the transparent vinyl.

In addition, the precious metal card of the present invention provides a variety of products that can use the same precious metal material, different precious metal material as the background of the printing area, it is effective to bring a wide range of product choices to customers with demanding tastes. .
