DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
<1. Structure of card with label>
FIG. 1 is a plan view of a card with label according to an embodiment of the present invention as viewed from the label side. FIG. 2 is a plan view of a support to which a card with label according to an embodiment of the present invention is attached. FIG. 3 is a plan view showing a state in which a labeled card according to an embodiment of the present invention is attached to a support. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view corresponding to the line AA in FIG. 3 and shows a layer structure of the card with label.

  1 to 4, LC is a card with a label, L is a label, 1 is a label paper, 2 is an adhesive layer, 3 is an adhesive layer, 4 is a sealing substrate, 5 is a release layer, 6 is a concealing layer, 7 is a card substrate, 8 is an adhesive layer, 9 is a support, 9a is a hanging hole, and 9b is a window. The label L is composed of a label paper 1, an adhesive layer 2, an adhesive layer 3, a seal substrate 4, a release layer 5, and a concealing layer 6. By removing the concealing layer 6, the printed information is confirmed. It is a scratch label that can be done. By attaching a label L to the card substrate 7, a card with a label LC is obtained. In the example of FIG. 4, the labeled card LC is further attached to the support 9.

  The size of the card substrate 7 in the plane direction of FIG. 1 can be set as appropriate, but the length of the long side (left and right direction in the drawing) is 85.6 mm, and the length of the short side (up and down direction in the drawing) is 54. Generally, it is 0 mm. In addition, the size of the label L (label paper 1) in the planar direction of FIG. 1 can be set as appropriate within a range that can be accommodated in the card substrate 7, but in the example shown in FIG. The horizontal direction is 75 mm, and the length of the short side (the vertical direction in the drawing) is 40 mm.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a barcode B is printed on the label paper 1. The bar code B is used to activate a label when the label L is used as POSA (Point of Sales Activation). The bar code is an example of code information, and code information other than the bar code may be printed on the label L. For example, instead of a barcode, a one-dimensional code other than a barcode or a two-dimensional code such as a QR code (registered trademark) can be printed as code information. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, a concealing layer 6 is formed on the label paper 1. Specific information is printed on this lower layer. When the label L is used as POSA, a unique ID for each label L is printed as specific information. The adhesive layer 8 is formed when the labeled card LC is affixed to the support 9, and the label paper 1 on the side of the card substrate 7 where the label paper 1 is adhered is not adhered. It is formed in the part.

  FIG. 2 is a plan view of a support to which a card with label according to an embodiment of the present invention is attached. As shown in FIG. 2, the support 9 has a suspension hole 9 a that is a through hole for suspension and a window that is a through hole for viewing the barcode B on the label paper 1 attached to the card. 9b is formed. The size of the support 9 in the planar direction of FIG. 2 can be set as appropriate so that the card base 7 can be accommodated. In the example shown in FIG. 2, the length of the short side (left and right in the drawing) is 101 mm. The length of the long side (vertical direction in the drawing) is 132 mm.

  In the example of FIG. 3, a state where a card with label LC is attached to the support 9 is shown. In the example of FIG. 3, the barcode B of the labeled card LC is visible through the window 9b.

  In FIG. 4, for convenience of explanation, the thickness of each layer is drawn thicker than the size of the labeled card LC and the support 9 (the horizontal direction in the drawing), but the labeled card LC and the support 9 are as a whole. In actuality, each layer is formed thinner because it is a thin plate or a sheet. For example, the width (the horizontal direction in the drawing) in FIG. 4 is several centimeters to several tens of centimeters, while the thickness (the vertical direction in the drawing) is about several hundred μm to several millimeters. In the layer configuration shown in FIG. 4, there is actually no distinction between upper and lower, but for convenience of explanation, the upper side of the drawing is expressed as the upper layer and the lower side of the drawing is expressed as the lower layer. Therefore, in FIG. 4, the uppermost layer is the support 9 and the lowermost layer is the card substrate 7.

  On one surface (the upper surface in FIG. 4) of the label paper 1, a specific information print layer (not shown), which is a print layer expressing specific information, is formed in a predetermined area. The content of the specific information is not particularly limited, and may be information that has a meaning to be concealed. For example, different individual information (unique ID) can be used for each label. By covering the specific information printing layer with the concealing layer 6 and scraping off the concealing layer 6, it is possible to realize a scratch label used for scratch lots, POSA, or the like.

  In the card with label LC, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3 is formed on the upper layer so as to overlap the specific information printing layer. In particular, in the present embodiment, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3 is formed so as to cover the specific information printing layer. That is, the area of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3 is formed to be larger than the area of the specific information printing layer. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3 is used for attaching a concealment seal including the concealment layer 6 to the label paper 1 side as a part of the concealment seal. An adhesive layer 2 is formed in the lower layer of the label paper 1. The label paper 1 is adhered to the card substrate 7 by the adhesive layer 2.

  The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3, the seal substrate 4, the release layer 5, and the concealing layer 6 are formed in a range including all the range in which the specific information printing layer is formed. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3, the seal substrate 4, the release layer 5, and the concealment layer 6 may be formed with a minimum area including the range where the specific information printing layer is formed. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3 does not necessarily need to be formed in a range including the entire range where the specific information printing layer is formed, but the specific information printing layer is concealed for the seal substrate 4, the release layer 5, and the concealing layer 6. Therefore, it is necessary to form in a range including the entire range where the specific information printing layer is formed.

  In the example of FIG. 1, except for the location where the label L exists, the state is plain (blank) and the pattern or the like is omitted. However, any one or both sides of the card substrate 7 can be arbitrarily printed by printing or the like as necessary. Information and patterns may be formed. In the example of FIG. 2, the entire surface is plain (blank) and the pattern is omitted. However, if necessary, any information or pattern is formed on one side or both sides of the support 9 by printing or the like. You may keep it. Further, a barcode B on which predetermined information is recorded is printed on the surface of the label paper 1. Printing of a pattern or the like on the card substrate 7 and the support 9 can be performed by a known printing method such as offset printing, gravure printing, screen printing, ink jet printing, or electrophotographic printing.

<2. Configuration of each layer>
The label paper 1 serves as a label L main body. On the label paper 1, information that is not concealed is printed together with the specific information concealed by the concealment layer. As the label paper 1, various papers can be applied depending on the application. For example, any of uncoated paper such as high quality paper, medium quality paper, lower grade paper, and colored fine quality paper, coated paper such as art paper, coated paper, lightweight coated paper, embossed paper, cast coated paper, craft paper, etc. It may be appropriately selected depending on the application. When the label paper is paper, the ease of processing is increased as compared with a plastic film or the like.

  In the present embodiment, the label L is created by processing a tack paper having a three-layer structure of an upper paper, an adhesive layer, and a release paper. By performing processing such as printing on continuous paper-like tack paper, the upper paper is cut out within a predetermined range, and a label using the upper paper as the label paper is obtained. Various known types of tack paper can be used. As the tack paper, it is preferable that the upper paper is suitable for ink jet printing. For example, “Art paper 135 kg / sixty-six” manufactured by Sealex can be used. When the upper paper does not have printability, the printability can be improved by applying OP (Over Print) varnish or the like.

  The label paper 1 is thinner than the card substrate 7. Since the label paper 1 is thinner than the card substrate 7, an upper sheet of general tack paper can be used as the label paper. Accordingly, it becomes possible to handle the tack paper, which is continuous paper, in a roll shape, and to reduce the cost of the label paper itself, the cost including the adhesive, and the manufacturing cost due to the ease of handling.

The thickness of the label paper 1 is preferably 200 μm (0.2 mm) or less, and more preferably 150 μm or less. This is because if the label paper is too thick, it is difficult to wind it in a roll shape, and it becomes difficult to store the created label. The thickness of the label paper 1 is not particularly limited on the thin side, but is actually 50 μm or more. This is because if the label paper is too thin, the possibility of damaging the label itself during the production is increased. If the basis weight, the basis weight of the label sheet 1 is more preferably is preferably 260 g / m ² or less, 160 g / m ² or less. In this way, by limiting the thickness and basis weight of the label paper, the label paper 1 can be manufactured from the tack paper wound in a roll shape.

  The label paper 1 has a corona discharge treatment, a plasma treatment, an ozone treatment, a flame treatment, a primer (also called an anchor coat, an adhesion promoter, and an easy adhesive) coating treatment, a preheat treatment, a dust removal treatment, a vapor deposition treatment, Easy adhesion treatment such as alkali treatment may be performed. Moreover, you may add additives, such as a filler, a plasticizer, a coloring agent, and an antistatic agent, as needed.

The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 2 is a layer for sticking the label paper 1 to the card substrate 7 side as a part of the label L. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 2 is most preferably an acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive, but may be a natural rubber-based pressure-sensitive adhesive, a synthetic rubber-based pressure-sensitive adhesive, a silicone rubber-based pressure-sensitive adhesive, or the like. But not limited application quantity and thickness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive for forming the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 2 is particularly preferably, the coating amount is ^{0.1g / m 2 ~50g / m 2} , the coating thickness is 0.1μm~ 50 μm. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 2 is uniformly applied to the entire surface of the label paper 1 so that the label L can be easily applied. As long as it is uniformly applied, it may be intermittent or may not be so-called solid.

The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3 is a layer for sticking the seal substrate 4 on the label paper 1 side as a part of the concealment seal. As the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3, an acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive is most preferable, as in the case of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 2, but a natural rubber-based pressure-sensitive adhesive, a synthetic rubber-based pressure-sensitive adhesive, a silicone rubber-based pressure-sensitive adhesive, or the like may be used. But not limited application quantity and thickness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive for forming the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 2 is particularly preferably, the coating amount is ^{0.1g / m 2 ~50g / m 2} , the coating thickness is 0.1μm~ 50 μm. The materials of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 2 and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3 may be the same or different. If they are the same, the manufacturing cost can be reduced and the manufacturing efficiency is increased.

  The seal substrate 4 is a substrate for a concealment seal including the concealment layer 6. The seal substrate 4 also has a function as a protective layer that protects the specific information printing layer in a predetermined area until the label paper 1 is attached to the support 9. As the sealing substrate 4, various materials can be applied depending on the application as long as they have heat resistance, mechanical strength, solvent resistance, and the like. For example, polyester resins such as polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate and polyethylene naphthalate, polyamide resins such as nylon 6, polyolefin resins such as polyethylene, polypropylene and polymethylpentene, vinyl resins such as polyvinyl chloride, polymethyl Examples thereof include acrylic resins such as methacrylate, cellulose films such as polycarbonate, cellophane, and cellulose acetate. The seal substrate 4 may be a copolymer resin containing these resins as a main component, a mixture (including an alloy), or a laminate including a plurality of layers. Usually, polyester films such as polyethylene terephthalate and polyethylene naphthalate are preferably used because of their high heat resistance and mechanical strength.

  The sealing substrate 4 may be a stretched film or an unstretched film, but a film stretched in a uniaxial direction or a biaxial direction is preferable for the purpose of improving strength. The seal substrate 4 is used as a film, sheet, or board formed of at least one layer of these resins. The thickness of the sealing substrate 4 can usually be about 2.5 μm to 50 μm, preferably 2.5 μm to 12 μm, more preferably 4 μm to 6 μm.

  The seal substrate 4 has a corona discharge treatment, a plasma treatment, an ozone treatment, a flame treatment, a primer (also called an anchor coat, an adhesion promoter, and an easy adhesive) coating treatment, a preheat treatment, a dust removal treatment, and a vapor deposition treatment. Further, easy adhesion treatment such as alkali treatment may be performed. Moreover, you may add additives, such as a filler, a plasticizer, a coloring agent, and an antistatic agent, as needed.

  The release layer 5 is a layer for facilitating the shaving off of the hiding layer 6 from the seal substrate 4. Therefore, as the release layer 5, it is preferable to use a layer having low adhesion so that the concealing layer 6 can be easily peeled off from the seal substrate 4. For forming the release layer 5, for example, an acrylic resin, a vinyl resin, a polyester resin, a fiber resin, a wax, a melamine to which a release agent such as a fluorine resin, silicone, or various waxes is added or copolymerized is used. A resin or the like can be used. The coating amount and coating thickness for forming the release layer 5 are not particularly limited, but preferably the coating thickness is 0.1 μm to 10 μm. The release layer 5 does not need to be formed if the concealing layer 6 can be easily scraped off from the sealing substrate 4.

  The concealing layer 6 is a layer that can be scraped off with a coin or the like or peeled off with an adhesive, and is a layer for concealing the specific information printing layer provided on the label paper 1. The masking layer 6 is formed by printing ink with high masking properties. Specifically, a pigment having a high hiding property is dispersed in a binder resin in a relatively large amount, and if necessary, an ink containing a dye or a normal pigment for coloring purposes. Also good.

  Examples of highly concealing pigments constituting the concealing layer 6 include metal powders such as silver powder, aluminum powder, brass powder, or copper powder, calcium carbonate, zinc oxide, alumina, titanium dioxide, silica, barium sulfate, talc, Kaolin, clay, carbon black, resin powder, or the like can be used. Further, as the binder resin constituting the concealing layer 6, the above-mentioned pigment having high concealability is retained, and those having good adhesiveness with the base material are selected and used. For example, natural rubber, hydrochloric acid rubber or the like is used. A rubber-based natural resin, polybutadiene, styrene-butadiene copolymer, acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymer, polyisoprene, polychloroprene, acrylic, vinyl chloride, vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer, or the like is used.

  For example, silver ink or the like obtained by converting metal powder into ink may be formed by a known printing method such as offset printing, gravure printing, silk screen printing, etc., and printing may be performed a plurality of times in order to improve concealment. Further, a plurality of printing layers with different concealing inks may be formed. The coating amount and coating thickness for forming the masking layer 6 are not particularly limited, but preferably the coating thickness is 0.1 μm to 10 μm.

  The card substrate 7 is for attaching the label L. Various materials can be applied as the card substrate 7 depending on the application. For example, any of natural fiber paper, coated paper, plastic film, glass, ceramics, etc. may be used, and it may be appropriately selected depending on the application. For plastic films, polyester resins such as polyethylene terephthalate and polyethylene naphthalate, polyamide resins such as nylon 6, polyolefin resins such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and polymethylpentene, vinyl resins such as polyvinyl chloride, and polymethyl Examples thereof include acrylic resins such as methacrylate, cellulose films such as polycarbonate, cellophane, and cellulose acetate. The card substrate 7 may be a copolymer resin containing these resins as a main component, a mixture (including an alloy), or a laminate including a plurality of layers.

  Moreover, when using a plastic film as the card | curd base material 7, although a stretched film or an unstretched film may be used, the film extended | stretched to the uniaxial direction or the biaxial direction is preferable in order to improve an intensity | strength. The card substrate 7 is used as a card-like material composed of at least one layer of these resins. The card substrate 7 has a corona discharge treatment, a plasma treatment, an ozone treatment, a frame treatment, a primer (also called an anchor coat, an adhesion promoter, or an easy adhesive) coating treatment, a preheat treatment, a dust removal treatment, and a vapor deposition treatment. Further, easy adhesion treatment such as alkali treatment may be performed. Moreover, you may add additives, such as a filler, a plasticizer, a coloring agent, and an antistatic agent, as needed.

  The adhesive layer 8 is a layer for attaching the card substrate 7 to the support 9 side. The adhesive layer 8 may be formed using a so-called pressure-sensitive adhesive having adhesiveness at room temperature, or may be formed using an adhesive other than the pressure-sensitive adhesive. Examples of the adhesive other than the pressure-sensitive adhesive include urethane-based, acrylic-based, vinyl acetate-based, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer, thermoplastic resin such as cellulose resin, or a mixture thereof. Resin consisting of can be used. The adhesive is applied by a known printing method such as a flexo method or a gravure method or a coating method to a thickness of about 0.1 to 50 μm, and after bonding, it is dried as necessary.

When the adhesive layer 8 is formed using an adhesive, a synthetic rubber adhesive is most preferable, but a natural rubber adhesive, an acrylic adhesive, a silicone rubber adhesive, or the like may be used. Although application quantity and thickness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive for forming the adhesive layer 8 is not particularly limited, preferably, the coating amount is ^{0.1g / m 2 ~50g / m 2} , the coating thickness is 0.1μm~ 50 μm.

  The support body 9 is a support body for supporting the card base material 7 and plays a role as a so-called mount during display. As the support 9, various materials can be applied depending on the application. For example, any of natural fiber paper, coated paper, plastic film, glass, ceramics, etc. may be used, and it may be appropriately selected depending on the application. For plastic films, polyester resins such as polyethylene terephthalate and polyethylene naphthalate, polyamide resins such as nylon 6, polyolefin resins such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and polymethylpentene, vinyl resins such as polyvinyl chloride, and polymethyl Examples thereof include acrylic resins such as methacrylate, cellulose films such as polycarbonate, cellophane, and cellulose acetate. The support 9 may be a copolymer resin containing these resins as a main component, a mixture (including an alloy), or a laminate including a plurality of layers.

  When a plastic film is used as the support 9, it may be a stretched film or an unstretched film, but a film stretched in a uniaxial direction or a biaxial direction is preferable for the purpose of improving the strength. The support 9 is used as a film, sheet, or board formed of at least one layer of these resins. The support 9 has a corona discharge treatment, a plasma treatment, an ozone treatment, a flame treatment, a primer (also called an anchor coat, an adhesion promoter, and an easy adhesive) coating treatment, a preheat treatment, a dust removal treatment, a vapor deposition treatment, Easy adhesion treatment such as alkali treatment may be performed. Moreover, you may add additives, such as a filler, a plasticizer, a coloring agent, and an antistatic agent, as needed.

<3. Manufacture of labeled cards>
Next, a method for manufacturing a card with label according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a method for manufacturing a card with label according to an embodiment of the present invention. First, a card and a support are created (step S1). Regarding the creation of the card, a predetermined base material is punched into the shape of the card base material 7, and necessary printing such as a pattern is performed on the card base material 7. Printing can be performed at the time when the pattern of the card is determined, and the card substrate 7 can be created. As for the production of the support 9, a predetermined base material is punched into the shape of the support 9, the suspension holes 9 a and the windows 9 b are formed by punching, and necessary printing such as a pattern is performed on the support 9. Both of the card base 7 and the support 9 can be appropriately prepared in accordance with the convenience of the creator. In other words, even if the contents to be printed on the label L are not determined, it can be prepared.

  Next, the label paper 1 is processed. The label paper 1 can be processed at an arbitrary timing after the card substrate 7 and the support 9 are formed. As described above, the card base material 7 and the support 9 are prepared, and processing of the label paper 1 can be started when all necessary information is prepared. First, a specific information printing layer is formed on the label paper 1 (step S2). The specific information printing layer can be formed by a known printing method such as offset printing, gravure printing, screen printing, ink jet printing, or electrophotographic printing.

  Next, in Step S3 to Step S5, a concealment seal composed of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3, the seal substrate 4, the release layer 5, and the concealment layer 6 is manufactured. First, the release layer 5 is formed on one surface of the seal substrate 4 (step S3). As described above, the release layer 5 is a layer for facilitating the shaving off of the concealing layer 6 from the seal substrate 4. The release layer 5 can also be formed with, for example, a silicone-based release ink.

  Next, the concealing layer 6 is formed so as to overlap the release layer 5 (step S4). Specifically, a silver ink having high concealability is printed or applied by a known printing method or coating method so as to overlap with the release layer 5 formed on one surface of the seal substrate 4. In this embodiment, silver ink is solid-printed by a screen printing method using a silk printing machine.

  Subsequently, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3 is formed on the surface of the seal substrate 4 opposite to the surface on which the release layer 5 and the masking layer 6 are formed (step S5). The viscosity of the pressure-sensitive adhesive in the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3 is preferably about 10,000 mPa · s to 100,000 mPa · s. As a method for applying the pressure-sensitive adhesive for forming the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 2, for example, coating by a gravure method, a spray coating method, a flexo method, or the like capable of relatively high speed can be used.

  Next, using a seal applicator, a concealment seal composed of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3, the seal substrate 4, the release layer 5, and the concealing layer 6 is applied with the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3 facing the label paper 1 side ( Step S6). At this time, a concealment seal is affixed while aligning with a position covering the portion on the label paper 1 where the specific information printing layer is formed.

  The processes in steps S2 to S6 are performed on the top sheet of tack paper that has been unwound from the roll state. Further, half-cut processing that does not reach the release paper is performed on the upper paper within a range that defines each label paper 1, and the upper paper other than the area that becomes the label paper 1 is separated and removed by so-called scraping. As a result, a continuous label sheet as shown in FIG. 6 is obtained. The label paper 1 is left in a so-called island shape on the continuous release paper.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the specific information printing layer formed on the label paper 1 is concealed by the concealment seal provided with the concealment layer 6. In the example of FIG. 6, the area other than the place where the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3, the seal substrate 4, the release layer 5, and the concealing layer 6 are formed and the place where the barcode B is printed is a plain (blank) state. In addition, although a picture or the like is omitted, if necessary, arbitrary information or a picture may be formed on the surface of the label paper 1 by printing or the like. Information can be printed on the label paper 1 by a known printing method such as offset printing, gravure printing, screen printing, ink jet printing, or electrophotographic printing.

  Next, the continuous paper that has been processed on the label paper 1 is wound into a roll (step S7). The continuous paper wound up in a roll shape can be easily stored and transported. When the card substrate 7 and the support 9 are stored away from the continuous paper of the label paper 1, the continuous paper of the label paper 1 is transported to the storage location of the card base 7 and the support 9 Subsequent steps (processes) will be executed.

  When the label L is obtained, the label L is affixed to the card substrate 7 (step S8). Specifically, using a label applicator, the labels L are peeled from the continuous release paper one by one, and the peeled labels L are placed so that the adhesive layer 2 side of the label L faces the card substrate 7.

The labeled card LC ′ shown in FIG. 7 is the same as the labeled card LC shown in FIG. 4 with respect to the label paper 1, the adhesive layer 2, the card base 7, the adhesive layer 8, and the support 9. The portion overlaid on the specific information printing layer is different. In FIG. 7, the same components as those of FIG. In the labeled card LC ′ shown in FIG. 7, a peeling layer 5a is formed on the upper layer so as to overlap the specific information printing layer. In particular, in this embodiment, the peeling layer 5a is formed so as to cover the specific information printing layer. That is, it is formed so that the area of the release layer 5a is larger than the area of the specific information printing layer.

  The peeling layer 5a and the concealing layer 6a are formed in a range including the entire range where the specific information printing layer is formed. The peeling layer 5a and the concealing layer 6a may be formed with a minimum area including a range where the specific information printing layer is formed. About the peeling layer 5a and the concealment layer 6a, in order to conceal the specific information printing layer, it is necessary to form in the range including all the ranges in which the specific information printing layer was formed. The masking layer 6a is preferably formed in a range included in the range in which the release layer 5a is formed. By forming in the range included in the range in which the peeling layer 5a is formed, it is possible to make it easy to scrape off all of the concealing layer 6a.

  About the peeling layer 5a and the masking layer 6a, the same material as the peeling layer 5 and the masking layer 6 in the card | curd with a label LC can be used. What is necessary is just to select an optimal thing suitably from the raw material which can be used for the said peeling layer 5 and the concealment layer 6. FIG.

  Next, a method for manufacturing a labeled card LC ′ according to another embodiment will be described. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a method of manufacturing a labeled card LC ′ according to another embodiment. In FIG. 8, the same processes as those in FIG. First, as in the case of FIG. 5, the card base 7 and the support 9 are prepared (step S1). Next, as in the case of FIG. 5, a specific information printing layer is formed on the label paper 1 (step S2).

  Next, the release layer 5a is formed while aligning the position on the label paper 1 where the specific information print layer is formed (step S11). As described above, the release layer 5a is a layer for facilitating the shaving off of the concealing layer 6a. The release layer 5a can also be formed with, for example, a silicone-based release ink.

  Next, the concealing layer 6a is formed so as to overlap the peeling layer 5a (step S12). Specifically, a silver ink having a high concealment property is further printed on or applied to the release layer 5a by a known printing method or coating method. In the modification, the silver ink is solid-printed by a screen printing method using a silk printing machine.

  The processing in step S11 to step S12 is also performed on the top of the tack paper that has been unwound from the roll state, as in steps S3 to S6. As a result, a continuous label sheet as shown in FIG. 6 is obtained. Also in other embodiments, if necessary, arbitrary information or a pattern may be formed on the surface of the label paper 1 by printing or the like.

  In other embodiments, after the continuous paper that has been processed into the label paper 1 is wound up into a roll (step S7), it is stored and transported as necessary, and the label L is attached to the card base. It sticks on the material 7 (step S8). Further, the card substrate 7 is stuck on the support 9 (step S9).

  As a result of attaching the label L to the card substrate 7 and attaching the card substrate 7 to the support 9, the support 9, the concealing layer 6a, the release layer 5a, the label paper 1, as shown in FIGS. A labeled card LC ′ in which the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 2 and the card substrate 7 are laminated in this order is obtained.

<5. Use of card with label>
The labeled card LC as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is displayed in the store by hanging the hanging hole 9a on the hook. At the time of purchase of the card with label LC, the barcode B printed on the surface of the label L through the window 9b is read by the barcode reader connected to the POS register. When the label L corresponds to POSA, the read information is recorded in a predetermined computer via the network, and the label L is activated.

  A user who has purchased the labeled card LC at a store destroys the adhesive layer 8 and peels off the labeled card LC, and then works to scrape the masking layer 6 in order to know specific information. By peeling off the concealing layer 6 from the label L, the specific information printing layer of the label L is exposed, and the specific information can be visually recognized. In this case, the pressure-sensitive adhesive used for forming the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3 needs to be transparent or translucent.

  When the label L corresponds to POSA, the activated label L can be specified by registering the acquired specifying information in a predetermined computer via a computer network. For the labeled card LC ′ as shown in FIGS. 3 and 7, the same operation as that for the labeled card LC is performed, and the label L is validated and specified.
