Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a label form for creating a laminated label by bonding two label pieces together.

Background Art

[0002] There is known a label form having two label pieces detachably attached to a base paper, and after printing required information on the label pieces, folding the base paper in a Z shape along a fold line to create a laminated label by bonding the two label pieces together. Many such label forms are configured to create a laminated label by directly bonding the other label piece onto the portion of the base paper where one label piece is attached from above (see Patent Documents 1 to 4). Also, there has been proposed a form that creates a laminated label by bonding the two label pieces in sequence on the portion of the base paper where no label piece is attached (see Patent Document 5).

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] There are two types of paper transport methods for printers: the straight transport method, which transports the paper in a straight line, and the curl transport method, which curves the paper during transport. However, the straight transport method is exclusively used for printing on label pieces in the label forms described in the above-mentioned patent document. This is because, with the curl transport method, when the label form is curved, the edges of the label pieces may curl up, and the labels may fall off. To address this problem, it has been proposed to adhere the label pieces more strongly than before so that the label pieces do not curl up even when the label form is curved. However, with such a configuration, when laminating the label pieces together to create laminated labels, it becomes difficult to peel the label pieces from the backing paper, reducing work efficiency.

[0005] This invention has been made in view of the current situation, and aims to provide a label form that is suitable for printing using a curl transport method and that allows for easy bonding of two label pieces. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The present invention relates to a label form in which two label pieces are peelably attached to a backing sheet, and one of the label pieces is attached to the other label piece on the backing sheet, and the two label pieces are peeled off the backing sheet in the attached state, wherein the attachment portion of at least one of the label pieces includes a heavy peel portion in which the peeling force of the label piece from the backing sheet is relatively large, and a light peel portion in which the peeling force of the label piece from the backing sheet is relatively small, and the heavy peel portion is provided at least at one end of the label piece.

[0007] In this configuration, the end portion where the heavy peel-off section is provided makes it difficult for the label piece to peel off the backing paper. Therefore, if the side of the label piece with the heavy peel-off section is facing the transport direction when printing with a printer, the label piece will not peel off even when the label form is transported while curved using a curl transport method. For this reason, the label form of the present invention is suitable for printing using a curl transport method. Furthermore, the label piece according to the present invention is provided with both a heavy peel-off portion that is relatively difficult to peel off and a light peel-off portion that is relatively easy to peel off. Therefore, the effort required to peel off the label piece as a whole does not increase compared to the conventional configuration, and the two label pieces can be easily bonded together and the bonded label pieces can be peeled off, just as with the conventional configuration.

[0008] In the present invention, a configuration is proposed in which the peel-off portion is provided only at the end of the adhesive portion of the label piece.

[0009] In this configuration, a light peel-off portion is exclusively located in the center of the label's attachment area. Therefore, by simply lifting the edges of the label, the remaining portion of the label can be easily peeled off. Thus, this configuration makes it possible to suppress the curling of the label's edges while making the label as easy to peel off as possible.

[0010] Furthermore, in the present invention, a configuration is proposed in which the heavy peel-off portion is not provided on at least one side of the adhesive portion of the label piece.

[0011] In this configuration, printing is performed with the side where the heavy peeling section is located facing the transport direction, which prevents the edges of the label from curling up during transport. At the same time, when creating laminate labels, the edges of the label can be peeled up from the side where the heavy peeling section is not adjacent, making it even easier to peel the label.

[0012] Furthermore, in the present invention, a release agent layer is formed on the backing paper at least in the area where the label piece is attached, and the surface of the release agent layer is rougher in the heavily peeled area than in the lightly peeled area.

[0013] In this configuration, roughening the surface of the release agent layer in the heavy-peel section improves the adhesion of the label piece's adhesive, resulting in a greater peeling force in the heavy-peel section than in the light-peel section. With this configuration, heavy-peel and light-peel sections with different peeling forces can be arranged at low cost without using multiple types of release agents or adhesives. Furthermore, since the adhesive layer of the label piece can be formed uniformly regardless of whether it is a heavy-peel or light-peel section, there is also the advantage that the laminate label can be attached to the object without unevenness.

[0014] Furthermore, in the present invention, the two label pieces are rectangular in shape, and a first fold line that can be valley-folded and a second fold line that is parallel to the first fold line and can be mountain-folded are formed on the backing paper, one of the label pieces is attached to the backing paper so as to straddle the second fold line, and by valley-folding the backing paper along the first fold line, partially peeling off one of the label pieces, and mountain-folding it along the second fold line to fold it into a Z shape, one of the label pieces can be attached to the other label piece, and the heavy peel-off portion is arranged along at least one of the sides of one of the label pieces that is perpendicular to the second fold line, and is not arranged along the side opposite to the first fold line.

[0015] In this configuration, when the backing sheet is folded into a Z shape along the first and second fold lines, the side of one label piece facing the first fold line is peeled off. However, since there is no heavy peeling section on the side facing the first fold line, the label piece can be peeled off relatively easily, allowing the backing sheet to be folded into a Z shape. [Effects of the Invention]

[0016] As described above, the label form of the present invention is suitable for printing using a curl transport method, thus expanding the range of printing methods and improving convenience compared to conventional configurations. On the other hand, since the label form of the present invention allows for easy bonding of two label pieces, laminated labels can be easily created by stacking two label pieces, similar to conventional configurations.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0018] Embodiments of the present invention will be described according to the following examples. In the following examples, the first label piece 5 and the second label piece 6 correspond to the label pieces according to the present invention.

[0019] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the label form 1 of this embodiment has two label pieces 5 and 6 attached to the surface of a rectangular base sheet 3 that is elongated vertically. The base sheet 3 is composed of a base sheet body 7 and a release agent layer 8. The release agent layer 8 is formed by coating the entire surface of the base sheet body 7 with a release agent made of silicone or the like. Here, the release agent layer 8 may be formed not on the entire surface of the base sheet 3, but limited to the area where the two label pieces 5 and 6 are attached. The material used for the base sheet body 7 is high-quality paper, synthetic paper, or the like with appropriate flexibility.

[0020] Two label pieces, 5 and 6, are attached to the top and bottom of the backing sheet 3, respectively. The first label piece 5, attached to the top of the backing sheet 3, is transparent. The second label piece 6, attached to the bottom of the backing sheet 3, is opaque, and a background pattern 27 is printed on both sides of it. Both the first label piece 5 and the second label piece 6 are square in shape, with the first label piece 5 being slightly smaller than the second label piece 6.

[0021] As shown in Figure 1, the surface of the backing sheet 3 has pre-printed information 10 such as "First Seal," "Second Seal," "Mountain Fold A," "Mountain Fold B," and "Valley Fold," as well as indicators 28 and 29, which will be described later. The pre-printed information 10 is printed on the backing sheet body 7 before the release agent layer 8 is applied. Since the release agent layer 8 formed on top of the pre-printed information 10 is transparent, the visibility of the pre-printed information 10 is not impaired by the release agent layer 8. In addition, the backing sheet 3 has a first fold line 12 that allows for a valley fold, which is formed at a position that roughly bisects the longitudinal direction and crosses the backing sheet 3 in the short direction. The upper first supporting portion 13 to which the first label piece 5 is attached and the lower second supporting portion 14 to which the second label piece 6 is attached are connected via the first fold line 12. In addition, a second fold line 16 that allows for a mountain fold is formed at a predetermined position on the first supporting portion 13, parallel to the first fold line 12. The portion located between the second fold line 16 and the first fold line 12 is designated as the first folded portion 17. Similarly, a mountain-foldable third fold line 18 is formed parallel to the first fold line 12 at a predetermined position on the second supporting portion 14. The portion located between the third fold line 18 and the first fold line 12 is designated as the second folded portion 19. The first fold line 12, the second fold line 16, and the third fold line 18 are all formed by perforations, and as will be described later, when folding the cardboard 3 in a Z shape along the fold lines 12, 16, and 18, the folding process can be easily performed.

[0022] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the first label piece 5 is peelably attached to the first support portion 13 at approximately the center position, straddling the second fold line 16. The first label piece 5 is made by forming a transparent adhesive layer 21 on the back surface of a transparent first base material 20. The first base material 20 is made of a material that can be printed on its surface, and a highly smooth transparent synthetic resin film such as PET resin can be suitably used. Furthermore, this transparent first label piece 5 is subjected to ultraviolet absorption processing. Ultraviolet absorption processing can be performed by mixing an ultraviolet absorber into the first base material 20 or the adhesive layer 21. Note that the first label piece 5 is not limited to being colorless and transparent, but can be colored to the extent that the back side can be seen through the material. Also, the first base material 20 may be a laminate structure in which multiple sheets are stacked.

[0023] On the other hand, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the second label piece 6 is peelably attached to the second support portion 14 at approximately the center position, straddling the third fold line 18. As described above, the second label piece 6 is square in shape, with larger vertical and horizontal dimensions than the first label piece 5, and is positioned opposite the first label piece 5 across the first fold line 12. The second label piece 6 is made by forming a transparent adhesive layer 24 on the back surface of an opaque second base material 23. The second base material 23 is made of a printable material such as synthetic paper, coated paper, or high-quality paper, and a background pattern 27 is pre-printed on both sides thereof. The background pattern 27 is preferably of a color and density that does not hinder the visibility of the required information 32 (see Figure 7) printed on the first label piece 5 and the second label piece 6, and halftone printing is preferred as the printing method. By pre-printing the background pattern 27 on the second label piece 6 in this way, it is possible to make it difficult to counterfeit the laminate label and improve its appearance. Furthermore, this second label piece 6 is not limited to completely blocking light; it only needs to be opaque enough that the reverse side cannot be seen through the material. Also, the second substrate 23 may be a laminated structure in which multiple sheets are stacked. Specifically, a proposal is to laminate a transparent sheet on top of an opaque paper substrate via an adhesive layer.

[0024] In this embodiment, the thicknesses of the first base material 20 and the second base material 23 are set so that the thickness of the first label piece 5 and the second label piece 6 are approximately the same. This adjusts the thickness of the label form 1 so that the measured value is approximately the same at the attachment points of the first label piece 5 and the second label piece 6. In this way, the label forms 1 can be stacked without being significantly tilted, and printing defects on the first label piece 5 and the second label piece 6 can also be reduced.

[0025] Preferably, the second fold line 16 and the third fold line 18 are formed in substantially symmetrical positions with respect to the first fold line 12 as the axis of symmetry, and the first label piece 5 and the second label piece 6 are attached so that their respective centers coincide with the second fold line 16 or the third fold line 18. With this configuration, when the backing paper 3 is folded in a Z shape, the centers of the first label piece 5 and the second label piece 6 can be easily aligned, and when creating the inner-attached laminate label A or outer-attached laminate label B described later, the first label piece 5 and the second label piece 6 can be attached without misalignment or wrinkles.

[0026] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 1, the first support portion 13 has indicators 28 pre-printed on the surface of the backing paper 3 that show the attachment position of the second label piece 6 to the first label piece 5. These indicators 28 are L-shaped indicators that show the four corners of the attachment position of the second label piece 6. When creating the internally attached laminate label A, which will be described later, the second label piece 6 can be accurately aligned by laminating it onto the first label piece 5 so that its four corners align with each L-shaped indicator.

[0027] On the other hand, with respect to the second support portion 14, indicators 29 indicating the attachment position of the first label piece 5 are pre-printed on the surface of the second label piece 6. These indicators 29, like the indicators 28 of the first support portion 13, are L-shaped indicators that each indicate the four corners of the attachment position of the first label piece 5. When creating the external laminate label B described later, the first label piece 5 can be precisely aligned by laminating it onto the second label piece 6 so that its four corners match each of the L-shaped indicators.

[0028] As described above, two label pieces 5 and 6 are peelably attached to the surface of the backing paper 3 on the label form 1. Here, the attachment area of ​​each label piece 5 and 6 has a heavy peeling area 25 where the peeling force of the label piece 5 and 6 from the backing paper 3 is relatively large, and a light peeling area 26 where the peeling force of the label piece 5 and 6 from the backing paper 3 is relatively small. Specifically, of the attachment area of ​​the label pieces 5 and 6, the shaded areas in Figure 3, that is, the ends along the left and right sides of each label piece 5 and 6, are heavy peeling areas 25, and all other parts are light peeling areas 26. The difference in peeling force between the heavy peeling area 25 and the light peeling area 26 is due to the difference in the smoothness of the release agent layer 8. More specifically, as shown in Figures 4(A) and 4(B), the release agent layer 8 has a rough surface area 8a in the heavy peeling area 25, and a smooth surface area 8b in the parts other than the heavy peeling area 25. Since the adhesive adheres better to the rough surface 8a than to the smooth surface 8b, in this configuration, the peeling force of the label pieces 5 and 6 is greater in the heavy peeling section 25 compared to the light peeling section 26. With this configuration, heavy peeling sections 25 and light peeling sections 26 with different peeling forces can be provided at low cost without using multiple types of release agents or adhesives. In addition, since the adhesive layers 21 and 24 of the label pieces 5 and 6 can be formed uniformly regardless of whether they are in the heavy peeling section 25 or the light peeling section 26, the laminated labels can be attached to the object without unevenness.

[0029] The rough surface portion 8a of the release agent layer 8 is formed by applying a smaller amount of release agent than the smooth surface portion 8b. In other words, in order to form a smooth release agent layer 8, it is necessary to apply a certain amount or more of release agent to the surface of the backing paper body 7. If the amount of release agent applied is less than a certain amount, the thickness of the release agent layer 8 becomes unstable due to penetration into the backing paper body 7, and the smoothness decreases. In this embodiment, for the heavily peeled portion 25, a rough surface portion 8a with low smoothness is formed on the heavily peeled portion 25 by intentionally applying less than a certain amount of release agent, while for other lightly peeled portions 26, etc., a smooth surface portion 8b with high smoothness is formed by applying a certain amount or more of release agent.

[0030] Thus, in this embodiment, the attachment area of ​​each label piece 5, 6 is equipped with a heavy peeling section 25 and a light peeling section 26, which have different peeling forces from the backing paper 3. Since the heavy peeling section 25, which has a relatively large peeling force, is located at the end of the attachment area of ​​the label piece 5, 6, the edges of each label piece 5, 6 are less likely to peel up from the backing paper 3. In particular, since the heavy peeling section 25 is located along both the left and right sides of the label piece 5, 6, as shown in Figure 5, the label form 1 must be strongly bent in order to peel up the label piece 5, 6 from the shorter side (left and right direction). On the other hand, since the heavy peeling section 25 is not located on the upper and lower sides of the label piece 5, 6, as shown in Figure 6, if the label piece 5, 6 is peeled up from the longer side (up and down direction) of the label form 1, the degree to which the label form 1 needs to be bent is less compared to when peeling it up from the shorter side.

[0031] Next, we will explain how to create laminated labels using the label form 1. As shown in Figure 1, the label form 1 is delivered to the laminated label issuer (government office, university, or company, etc.) in single-sheet format. The laminated label issuer can selectively create two types of laminated labels, one for internal application and one for external application, using the delivered label form 1.

[0032] When creating an internally attached laminate label using label form 1, the necessary information 32 for business licenses, school admission permits, parking permits, entry permits, etc., is printed on the back of the transparent first label piece 5 using a printer controlled by a computer such as a personal computer, as shown in Figure 7(A). The back-facing printing of the necessary information 32 is covered by the second label piece 6, protecting the printed surface of the necessary information 32 and preventing tampering with the displayed information. If necessary, information 33 such as precautions for using the laminate label may also be printed on the front of the second label piece 6. Here, known printers such as thermal transfer printers, inkjet printers, and laser printers can be used to print the necessary information 32 and information 33.

[0033] As described above, the label form 1 printed with a printer is folded in a Z shape by peeling the front end portion of the second label piece 6 from the second folded portion 19, as shown in Figure 8. The backing paper 3 is then folded in a valley fold along the first fold line 12 and a mountain fold along the second fold line 16, causing the front end portion of the second label piece 6 that was peeled off from the second folded portion 19 to extend forward. In this state, the front end portion of the second label piece 6 is laminated to the first label piece 5 via the adhesive force of the adhesive layer 24 on the back surface, making it difficult to peel off. Next, the remaining portion of the second label piece 6 is peeled off from the second support portion 14 and laminated to the first label piece 5 via the adhesive layer 24, making it difficult to peel off. Here, the first support portion 13 has an indicator 28 (see Figure 7(A)) that shows the attachment position of the second label piece 6, making it easy to align the central positions of the second label piece 6 and the first label piece 5 to approximately coincide. Through this procedure, as shown in Figure 9, an internally attached laminate label A is created with the label attached to the backing paper 3.

[0034] As described above, the laminate label A for interior application is peelably attached to the release agent layer 8 of the first support portion 13 via the adhesive layer 21 of the first label piece 5 and the adhesive layer 24 on the outer periphery of the second label piece 6, as shown in Figure 9, and can be easily peeled off the first support portion 13. By peeling this laminate label A for interior application from the first support portion 13 and attaching it to the inside of a transparent window glass or the like via the adhesive layer 21, the required information 32 (see Figure 7(A)) printed on the back side of the first label piece 5 can be viewed from the outside of the window glass or the like. At this time, the visibility of the required information 32 is enhanced because the transmission of light to the back side is blocked by the opaque second label piece 6.

[0035] On the other hand, when creating an external laminate label using label form 1, the necessary information 32 for business licenses, school admission licenses, parking licenses, entry licenses, etc., is printed face up on the second label piece 6 using a printer controlled by a computer such as a personal computer, as shown in Figure 7(B). Here, known printers such as thermal transfer printers, inkjet printers, and laser printers can be used to print the necessary information 32.

[0036] As described above, the label form 1 printed with the printer is folded in the opposite direction to how the internal laminate label A was created, as shown in Figure 10. Specifically, the front end portion of the first label piece 5 is peeled off from the first folded portion 17, and the backing paper 3 is folded in a valley fold along the first fold line 12 and in a mountain fold along the second fold line 16 to form a Z shape, causing the front end portion of the first label piece 5 that was peeled off from the first folded portion 17 to extend forward. In this state, the front end portion of the first label piece 5 is laminated to the second label piece 6 via the adhesive force of the adhesive layer 21 on the back surface in a way that makes peeling difficult. Then, the remaining portion of the first label piece 5 is peeled off from the first support portion 13 and laminated to the second label piece 6 via the adhesive layer 21 in a way that makes peeling difficult. Here, an indicator 29 (see Figure 7(B)) showing the attachment position of the first label piece 5 is displayed on the surface of the second label piece 6, making it easy to align the central positions of the second label piece 6 and the first label piece 5 to approximately coincide. Then, through this procedure, as shown in Figure 11, the external laminate label B is created attached to the backing paper 3.

[0037] As described above, the laminated label B for exterior application is peelably attached to the release agent layer 8 of the second support portion 14 via the adhesive layer 24 of the second label piece 6, as shown in Figure 11, and can be easily peeled off the second support portion 14. By peeling the laminated label B for exterior application from the second support portion 14 and attaching it to the outer surface of the vehicle body, etc., via the adhesive layer 24, the required information 32 (see Figure 7(B)) printed on the first label piece 5 can be viewed from the outside of the vehicle body, etc.

[0038] The label form 1 of this embodiment can be manufactured, for example, by the following steps. Note that steps (1) to (5) can be performed using publicly known techniques, so a detailed explanation is omitted. (1) Pre-printing information The pre-printed information 10 and indicators 28 and 29 are printed on the base sheet 7. (2) Formation of release agent layer A release agent is applied to the entire surface of the backing board body 7 to form a release agent layer 8. (3) Forming fold lines Fold lines 12, 16, and 18 are formed on the base sheet 3. (4) Label attached to one side Attach label pieces 5 and 6 to backing sheet 3. (5) Cutting the backing Cut backing sheet 3 to the size of a single sheet.

[0039] Furthermore, in the above manufacturing process, when forming the release agent layer 8 on the surface of the cardboard body 7, a rough surface 8a can be formed by reducing the amount of release agent applied to the heavy release portion 25, and a smooth surface 8b can be formed on the remaining portion by applying a sufficient amount of release agent. In this way, the heavy release portion 25 and the light release portion 26 can be provided in a single coating operation without using multiple types of release agents. In addition, the rough surface 8a may be formed by first forming the entire release agent layer 8 as a uniform smooth surface, and then roughening the surface of the portion constituting the rough surface 8a.

[0040] As described above, when creating laminate labels A and B using the label form 1 of this embodiment, the required information 32 is printed on the label pieces 5 and 6 using a thermal transfer printer, inkjet printer, laser printer, etc. In this embodiment, there is an advantage that the label form 1 can be transported in a curl transport manner when printing on the label pieces 5 and 6 with the printer. As described above, since the heavy peeling section 25 with a large peeling force is arranged at the ends of the label pieces 5 and 6, even if the label form 1 is slightly curved during curl transport, the edges of the label pieces 5 and 6 will not curl up. In particular, in this embodiment, the heavy peeling section 25 is arranged adjacent to both the left and right sides of the label pieces 5 and 6, so that the left and right edges of the label pieces 5 and 6 are less likely to curl up than the top and bottom edges. Therefore, as shown in Figure 12, if the label form 1 is transported with the left and right edges of the label pieces 5 and 6 facing the transport direction, it is possible to reliably prevent the edges of the label pieces 5 and 6 from curling up, even if the label form 1 curves to conform to the outer surface of the transport roller 35.

[0041] In this embodiment, the label pieces 5 and 6 are provided with a heavy peel-off section 25 that is relatively difficult to peel off, as well as a light peel-off section 26 that is relatively easy to peel off. Therefore, the effort required for peeling the label pieces 5 and 6 as a whole does not increase compared to the conventional configuration. For this reason, when creating laminate labels A and B, the two label pieces 5 and 6 can be easily glued together in the same way as in the conventional configuration, and the created laminate labels A and B can be easily removed from the backing sheet 3 in the same way as in the conventional configuration. It can be peeled off. In particular, in this embodiment, the heavy peeling portion 25 is provided only at the ends of the label pieces 5 and 6, and the light peeling portion 26 is provided exclusively in the central part of the label pieces 5 and 6. Therefore, in this embodiment, if the edges of the label pieces 5 and 6 are peeled up from the backing paper 3, the remaining parts of the label pieces 5 and 6 can be easily peeled off without damaging the backing paper 3 or the label pieces 5 and 6.

[0042] Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the heavy peel-off sections 25 are not positioned along the upper and lower edges of the label pieces 5 and 6, when creating laminate labels, as shown in Figure 6, the edges of the label pieces 5 and 6 can be peeled off even more easily by lifting the edges of the label pieces 5 and 6 from the top and bottom. In particular, when folding the backing paper 3 in a Z shape and attaching the label pieces 5 and 6, the first label piece 5 is peeled off from the bottom, or the second label piece 6 is peeled off from the top. Therefore, if the heavy peel-off sections 25 are not positioned along both the upper and lower edges of the label pieces 5 and 6, as in this embodiment, it becomes easier to peel off the label pieces 5 and 6 when folding the backing paper 3 in a Z shape.

[0043] Furthermore, the label forms of the present invention are not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0044] Figures 13(A) to 13(C) show modified label forms 1a to 1c from the above embodiment, in which the arrangement of the heavy peel portion 25 has been changed, and the shaded area indicates the position of the heavy peel portion 25 (rough surface portion 8a). In the above embodiment, the heavy peel portion 25 is arranged along the entire length of both the left and right sides of the label pieces 5 and 6, but as shown in label form 1a of Figure 13(A), the heavy peel portion 25 may be partially arranged on both the left and right sides of the label pieces 5 and 6. Generally speaking, in the present invention, the smaller the area of ​​the heavy peel portion 25 arranged at the ends of the label pieces 5 and 6, the easier it is for the edges of the label pieces 5 and 6 to curl up. Also, as shown in label form 1b of Figure 13(B), the heavy peel portion 25 may be arranged only on the upper side of the label pieces 5 and 6. In such cases, when printing on the label pieces 5 and 6, if the upper side of the label form 1 is oriented in the transport direction, it is possible to reliably prevent the label pieces 5 and 6 from curling up during transport. Alternatively, as shown in Figure 13(C), the heavy peel-off sections 25 may be placed on all four sides of the label pieces 5 and 6.

[0045] Furthermore, the label form 1d in Figure 13(D) is a modified example in which, in addition to the support parts 13 and 14 of the above embodiment, a bonding part 11 for bonding two label pieces 5 and 6 is provided. Even with this configuration equipped with a bonding part 11, the present invention can be applied in the same way as in the above embodiment by providing a heavy peeling part 25 and a light peeling part 26 at the adhesive area of ​​the label pieces 5 and 6. Note that since label forms equipped with a bonding part are publicly known (see Patent Document 5), a detailed explanation will be omitted.

[0046] Furthermore, although the label form 1 in the above embodiment is in single-sheet format, the present invention may also be in a continuous form format in which multiple label forms are continuous in the longitudinal or transverse direction. In addition, the procedure for creating laminate labels may be printed on the back of the backing sheet 3. In addition, explanatory sheets with the procedures for creating laminate labels A and B printed on them may be detachably attached to the label form 1.

[0047] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the three fold lines 12, 16, and 18 formed on the label form 1 are made up of perforations. However, the fold lines according to the present invention are not limited to perforations, and may be made up of groove-shaped fold lines formed by pressure processing, or half-cut lines that do not cut the paper thickness, etc.

[0048] Furthermore, while at least one of the two label pieces according to the present invention is basically transparent, it is not limited to being colorless and transparent; it can be colored or have a background pattern printed on it to the extent that the back side can be seen through the material. Also, in the above embodiment, the first label piece 5 and the second label piece 6 are rectangular, but the first label piece and the second label piece according to the present invention can be circular, elliptical, polygonal, or any other shape. Also, in the above embodiment, the opaque second label piece 6 is larger than the transparent first label piece 5, but the first label piece 5 may be larger than the second label piece 6, or the first label piece 5 and the second label piece 6 may be the same size.

[0049] Furthermore, the label form 1 of the above embodiment can be used in two ways: by attaching the second label piece 6 to the first label piece 5 to create laminated label A, and by attaching the first label piece 5 to the second label piece 6 to create laminated label B. However, the label form of the present invention may be used for only one of these purposes.

[0050] Furthermore, in the label form 1 of the above embodiment, the first supporting portion 13 and the second supporting portion 14 are continuous vertically, but the first supporting portion 13 and the second supporting portion 14 may be continuous horizontally.

[0051] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the heavy peel portion 25 and the light peel portion 26 are arranged in the same pattern on the attachment areas of the two label pieces 5 and 6, respectively. However, the arrangement patterns of the heavy peel portion 25 and the light peel portion 26 may be different for the two label pieces 5 and 6. Also, in the above embodiment, the heavy peel portion 25 and the light peel portion 26 are arranged on the attachment areas of each label piece 5 and 6. However, the present invention also includes a case in which the heavy peel portion 25 and the light peel portion 26 are arranged on only one of the label pieces 5 and 6.

[0052] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the peeling force of the heavy peeling portion 25 is not different between the attachment area of ​​the first label piece 5 and the attachment area of ​​the second label piece 6. However, it is not necessary to make the peeling force of the heavy peeling portion 25 equal at the attachment areas of each label piece 5 and 6. Similarly, it is not necessary to make the peeling force of the light peeling portion 26 equal at the attachment areas of each label piece 5 and 6. Moreover, the heavy peeling portion according to the present invention only needs to have a greater peeling force than the light peeling portion, and is not limited to having a uniform peeling force throughout its entire surface. Similarly, the light peeling portion is not limited to having a uniform peeling force throughout its entire surface.

[0053] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, a rough surface portion 8a and a smooth surface portion 8b are provided in the release agent layer 8 to create a heavy release portion 25 and a light release portion 26 with different release forces. However, different types of release agents or adhesives may be used for the heavy release portion 25 and the light release portion 26 to create differences in their respective release forces. In addition, after the formation of the release agent layer 8, the heavy release portion 25 may be subjected to heat treatment or chemical treatment to alter the release agent, thereby increasing the release force of the heavy release portion 25 compared to the light release portion 26.
