TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a foldable label suitable for use in displaying precautionary statements and instructions for use by attaching to a product or its packaging / container, and a display method using the same. And a display method using the same.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Today, with the development of communications and transportation, the production and consumption of goods has become global. For this reason, advertisements, dosages, precautionary statements, etc. are written or labeled in many languages on product packaging and containers.
[0003]
For example, foods are printed in English with the product name, raw materials, contents, country of origin, preservation method, cooking examples, etc., and are further translated into the language of the importing country and labeled with the date of import, importer, etc. Affixed.
[0004]
However, in the case of pharmaceuticals and medical devices, it is necessary to describe many items such as display obligations for safety and approval numbers, but labeling is difficult because the boxes and containers are small.
[0005]
FIG. 7 shows a disposable contact lens and a packaging box.
[0006]
Most of disposable contact lenses 1 are occupied by products of US companies, and the outer box 2 of the imported product is printed with the brand or logo 3 of the handling company on the upper surface, and a precautionary statement and usage on the side and the back (not shown). Such an English display 4 is described.
[0007]
However, since a precautionary statement in Japanese or the like cannot be displayed on the surface of the outer box 2, a precautionary note 5 in a form of a slip or a booklet describing the precautionary statement is enclosed with the contact lens 1 in the outer box 2.
[0008]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, in the conventional display method of opening the outer box 2 and packing the precautionary statement 5 by hand, there is a limit to the number that can be processed within a limited time.
[0009]
Further, when the user opens the outer box 2, the contact lens 1 comes out first, and the precautionary statement 5 may be left in the outer box 2. If the lens is attached to the lens, there is a risk that serious errors may occur due to incorrect wearing period and care method.
[0010]
The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems of the related art, and the present invention ensures that a user's precautionary statements and instructions for use are read by a user, and is attached to a narrow place to allow a large amount of information. It is an object of the present invention to provide a foldable label that can be displayed and a display method using the foldable label.
[0011]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the folding label according to claim 1 folds a band-shaped lower base made of a synthetic resin film having high rigidity, and one end of the label is inseparably adhered on the lower base. And the same end side as the display substrate is inseparably adhered on the lower substrate, and the other end is directly connected to the lower substrate without the display substrate. A belt-like surface substrate that is hardly stretched and deformed adhered to the material, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer provided on the back surface of the lower substrate to be attached to an object to be bonded, and a plurality of pressure-sensitive adhesive layers to protect the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. A strip-shaped release sheet temporarily attached across the lower base material, and a counting section provided on the other end side of the surface base material so as to be able to separate the surface base material from the lower base material. Configured.
[0012]
In addition, the display method according to claim 2 includes a transporting step of transporting the strip-shaped release sheet of the folding label according to claim 1, and in the middle of the transporting step, placing the release sheet on the side opposite to the adhesive layer. A peeling step of bending the traveling direction and a sticking step of pressing the folded label peeled from the peeling sheet in the peeling step toward an article to be sticked were performed.
[0013]
According to the configuration of the first aspect, when the folding label is attached to a product, its packaging, or a container, and the surface layer substrate is separated from the lower substrate from the counting section, one end is adhered to the lower substrate. A strip-shaped display substrate can be developed, a large amount of information can be written on the display substrate, and a large amount of documents can be displayed in a narrow place.
[0014]
According to the second aspect of the present invention, automatic folding can be performed by a machine using the folding label according to the first aspect.
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. Note that the same components as those of the above-described related art are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted.
[0015]
First, FIG. 1 is a front view of the folding label 10, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line II-II in FIG.
[0016]
Reference numeral 11 denotes a lower base material which is a main part of the folding label 10, and the lower base material 11 is a film made of a synthetic resin such as polypropylene, or a pigment is mixed or applied to the film made of a synthetic resin, and a writing tool is used. It is made of so-called synthetic paper that enables writing, printing, and printing. As the synthetic paper, for example, “Yupo” (registered trademark) is well known.
[0017]
By making the lower base material 11 a synthetic resin film or synthetic paper, the rigidity of the foldable label 10 is increased, and even when the foldable label 10 becomes long, the release sheet 16 described below is used as an adhesive layer. Can be separated from the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 15 by being bent at an angle to the opposite side.
[0018]
Reference numeral 12 denotes a strip-shaped display base material in which thin paper (55 microns) of high-quality paper is inseparably adhered on the lower base material 11 at one end side (left side in FIG. 2), for example. It is folded into three layers with a dimension longer than the lower base material 11, is laid on the lower base material 11, and the other end (the right side in FIG. 2) is opened so as to be able to count. By using thin high-quality paper, the thickness of the foldable label 10 can be prevented from increasing, and the display base material 12 can be printed with a large amount of instructions and cautionary notes.
[0019]
13 has the same end side as the display base material 12 adhered to the lower base material 11 so as to be inseparable, and the other end side is directly bonded to the lower base material without passing through the display base material 12. It is a belt-shaped surface layer substrate. The surface layer base material 13 is composed of a composite base material (laminated base material) obtained by laminating high-quality paper with a 20-micron thick polypropylene, and has a perforation 14 formed at the other end. By cutting from the perforations 14, the surface layer base material 13 can be separated from the lower base material 11, and the display base material 12 can be counted.
Since the surface layer base material 13 is made of a laminate base material, it is difficult to deform (elongate) with respect to a tensile force, and in combination with the strong rigidity of the lower side base material 11 described above, the release sheet 16 and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 15 are combined. When folded at an angle to the opposite side, the fold label 10 is prevented from bending along with the release sheet 16. Thus, even if the label is long in the transport direction, the label can be made suitable for being attached to an article using an automatic attaching machine.
Here, although not an essential element of the present invention, it is preferable to form a pattern 18 of an affixing surface described later on the surface (the upper side surface in the figure) of the surface substrate 13.
[0020]
Reference numeral 15 denotes an adhesive layer provided on the back surface of the lower substrate 11 to be attached to an object to be adhered, and 16 denotes a temporary attachment over a plurality of lower substrates 15 to protect the adhesive layer 15. This is a strip-shaped release sheet.
[0021]
Numeral 18 is the same pattern as the surface to be adhered, which is formed on the upper surface of the surface substrate 13 by printing. Specifically, the design includes a picture of a decorative box, a brand of a product, a logo of a company, and the like.
Although not a "pattern on the sticking surface", a message 19 (for example, "Please open from here.") Indicating that the folding label 10 has been counted so that the facing surface and the internal display base material 12 can be read. ) Are also described near the perforations 14 on the same surface.
[0022]
The embodiment of the folding label 10 is as described above. Next, a display method using the folding label 10 will be described with reference to FIGS.
[0023]
FIG. 4 shows a label sticking apparatus 20 of the top stick type.
The label sticking device 20 includes a conveyor unit 22 including a belt conveyor, a label supply unit 24, a peeling unit 26, a mount winding unit 28, a sticking unit 30, and the like.
[0024]
The conveyor section 22 conveys the contact lens box 2 (article) with a gap on the belt.
A plurality of the above-described foldable labels 10 are continuously wound around the label supply unit 24 via a release sheet 16 in a roll shape. The folding label 10 conveyed by the drive mechanism (not shown) from the label supply unit 24 has the peeling unit 26 move the peeling sheet 16 to the opposite side to the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 15 at an angle, By bending, the release sheet 16 is released from the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 15 on the lower substrate 11 side.
Then, the folding label 10 is pressed toward the upper surface of the box 2 by a sticking section 30 such as a sponge roller provided on the downstream side of the peeling section 26 and is stuck.
[0025]
The display method using the folding label 10 by the label sticking device 20 has the above configuration, and there is no particular difference in the sticking device 20 from the conventional one.
[0026]
However, since the lower substrate 11 is made of a synthetic paper having high rigidity and the surface substrate 13 is made of a laminate substrate that is hardly subjected to tensile deformation, the folding label 10 is pulled downward when the release sheet 16 is peeled off. Even if a force is applied, the label can be hardly bent, and even if the label is long in the transport direction, the label can be configured to be suitable for being attached to an article using the automatic attaching machine 20.
[0027]
Further, according to the present embodiment, since the design 18 similar to the brand or logo print 3 on the upper surface of the outer box 2 is also printed on the surface layer base material 13, even if the folding label 10 is attached, the outer box 2 The appearance is not impaired at all and the English display 4 is not obscured.
[0028]
Then, the user can open the surface layer base material 13 along the perforations 14 according to the indication such as “Please open from here” on the folding label 10 and read the precautionary notes for use.
[0029]
Here, since the display base material 12 is interposed in a folded state, a large amount of information can be described as compared with a normal label, and there is an advantage that large characters can be displayed if the number of characters is the same.
[0030]
Further, since the folding label 10 is attached to the outer box 2 via the adhesive layer 15, there is an advantage that there is no risk of being lost.
[0031]
Thus, according to the present embodiment, even in a small outer case of a disposable contact lens, it does not obscure the original English display and impairs the appearance of the design, brand, logo mark, etc. of the cosmetic box. Instead, a sufficient amount of Japanese precautionary statements can be displayed on the label.
[0032]
The user is interested in what is written on the inside of the folding label 10, so that the user can read the note without fail, and various effects such as not easily losing the note can be obtained. .
[0033]
Next, what is shown in FIG. 5 is a label sticking apparatus 40 of a bottom stick type.
The label sticking device 40 is composed of a conveyor section 41 such as a belt conveyor, a label supply section 44, a peeling section 46, a mount winding section 48, a sticking section 50, and the like.
[0034]
The conveyor section 41 includes an upstream conveyor 42 and a downstream conveyor 43. A sticking section 50 is provided in a gap between the conveyors 42 and 43. The conveyors 42 and 43 convey the contact lens box 2 (article) with a gap on the belt.
[0035]
The label supply unit 44 has substantially the same configuration as the label supply unit 24 of FIG. Then, the foldable label 10 conveyed from the label supply unit 44 by a drive mechanism (not shown) has a peeling unit 46 in which the peeling sheet 16 is turned to the opposite side to the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 15 and the traveling direction is sharply angled. To release the release sheet 16 from the adhesive layer 15 on the lower substrate 11 side.
Then, the folding label 10 is carried out of the peeling section 46 by nip rollers 47, 47 whose surfaces have been subjected to a release agent processing, and the adhesive section 15 is directed upward at the sticking section 50 to wait for the arrival of the box 2.
Next, when the box 2 is conveyed by the upstream conveyor 42, the box 2 is sent out to the nip roller 47 toward the lower surface thereof to press the fold label 10, and the box 2 on which the fold label 10 is affixed to the lower surface is moved to the downstream conveyor 43. Handed over and carried out.
[0036]
According to the present embodiment configured as described above, substantially the same effects as those of the label attaching device 20 of FIG.
[0037]
In addition, the present invention is not limited to the form shown in the embodiment, and can be modified within the scope described in the claims. For example, the folding label 10 can be It may be temporarily attached in the horizontal direction.
[0038]
Further, the present invention is not limited to mechanically applying the folding label 10, and the peeling sheet 16 may be peeled off with a nail and manually applied.
[0039]
【The invention's effect】
As described in detail above, according to the folding label of the present invention, a large number of documents can be displayed by attaching the label to the target article without opening the packaging or the container.
[0040]
In addition, since a rigid resin film or synthetic paper is used for the lower substrate, even when the folding label becomes long, the release sheet can be bent at an angle to the side opposite to the adhesive layer. A folding label which can be peeled off from the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and is suitable for mechanical attachment by an automatic attaching machine, and a display method using the same can be provided.
