Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a label form for producing a laminate label by laminating a transparent label piece and an opaque label piece together. [Background technology]

[0002] There is known a label form in which a transparent label piece and an opaque label piece are attached to a mount in an easily peelable manner, and after printing required information on the label pieces, the mount is folded in a Z-shape along a fold line to produce a laminate label by bonding the two label pieces together. Many of such label forms are configured to produce a laminate label by directly bonding one label piece to an area where the other label piece is to be placed (see Patent Documents 1 to 4). Also, a method has been proposed in which two label pieces are bonded in order to an area on a mount where no label piece is to be placed to produce a laminate label (see Patent Document 5). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 3686351 [Patent Document 2] Patent No. 4374214 [Patent Document 3] Patent No. 6139245 [Patent Document 4] Patent No. 6860876 [Patent Document 5] JP 2021-179508 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The conventional label forms described above are made up of different base materials, with transparent and opaque label pieces, and each label piece is cut to a specified size and individually affixed to a specified position on a mount.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and has an object to provide a structure that is easier to manufacture than conventional label forms. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The present invention is a label form in which a transparent label piece and an opaque label piece are arranged on a backing paper in an easily peelable manner, and one of the label pieces is attached on top of the other label piece on the backing paper so that the two label pieces can be peeled off from the backing paper in a bonded state. The label form is characterized in that an opaque substrate is affixed to the backing paper at a location where the label pieces are to be arranged, and a transparent substrate is affixed to the opaque substrate, and in that, at the location where the transparent label piece is arranged, the transparent substrate is affixed to the opaque substrate in an easily peelable manner and the opaque substrate is affixed to the backing paper in a difficult-to-peel manner, thereby forming the transparent label piece, and in that at the location where the opaque label piece is arranged, the transparent substrate is affixed to the opaque substrate in a difficult-to-peel manner and the opaque substrate is affixed to the backing paper in an easily peelable manner, thereby forming the opaque label piece. Here, "easy to peel" means a state in which the label is configured so that it can be peeled off without damaging the mount or substrate and leaving no glue behind, and "difficult to peel" means a state in which the label is not configured so that the label can be peeled off without damaging the mount or substrate and leaving no glue behind. In addition, the "transparent label piece" according to the present invention is not limited to colorless and transparent ones, but also includes ones that are colored to the extent that the back side can be seen through the material. In addition, the "opaque label piece" according to the present invention is not limited to ones that completely block light, but also includes ones that are colored to the extent that the back side cannot be seen through the material.

[0007] In manufacturing such a label form, if the transparent and opaque base materials are laminated to a mount and then the laminated base materials are die-cut into the shape of each label piece, the base materials constituting the transparent and opaque label pieces can be affixed to the mount together, making it easier to manufacture than with conventional configurations. Also, by die-cutting into the shape of a label piece after each base material is affixed to the mount, there is an advantage that the deviation of the arrangement position of the label pieces can be reduced compared to the case where the cut label pieces are affixed one by one to the mount.

[0008] In the present invention, a configuration is proposed in which the opaque substrate and the transparent substrate are attached across the label piece placement area and non-placement area, and at least the transparent substrate is separated by a half-cut line that does not cut the backing paper at the boundary between the transparent label piece placement area and the non-label piece placement area, and the opaque substrate and the transparent substrate are separated by a half-cut line that does not cut the backing paper at the boundary between the opaque label piece placement area and the non-label piece placement area.

[0009] In this configuration, when printing on the label strips, even if the label form is conveyed while being curved using the curl conveying method, the label strips are less likely to peel off because the edge of the label strip interferes with the base material of the non-label portion across the half-cut line, making it difficult for the edge of the label strip to curl up from the backing paper.

[0010] In the above-mentioned configuration, it is proposed that the opaque base material and the transparent base material are disposed over the entire surface of the mount.

[0011] In this configuration, the label document is flatter than in the conventional configuration in which the base material is attached only to the portion where the label piece is to be disposed, so that the label document can be transported stably by the printer and the print quality can be improved.

[0012] In the above configuration, a configuration is proposed in which the surface of the transparent substrate is subjected to a release treatment around the other label piece. The release treatment is a treatment for making the adhesive easier to remove, and specific examples thereof include coating the surface of the transparent substrate with a release agent and roughening the surface of the transparent substrate.

[0013] In this configuration, when one label piece is affixed onto the other label piece affixed to the backing paper, even if the outer periphery of one label piece extends around the other label piece and becomes affixed onto the surrounding base material, the affixed label pieces can be easily peeled off.

[0014] In the above-mentioned configuration, the opaque base material and / or the transparent base material may be configured to be peelable from the mount at least around the periphery of the other label piece.

[0015] In such a configuration, by peeling off the base material around one label piece before sticking the other label piece on top of the other label piece that is stuck to the backing paper, the stuck-on label pieces can be easily peeled off even if the outer periphery of one label piece extends over the periphery of the other label piece. Effect of the Invention

[0016] As described above, the label form of the present invention can be manufactured more easily than the conventional configuration because the base materials of the transparent label pieces and the opaque label pieces can be affixed to the mount together during manufacturing. Furthermore, if the base materials are affixed to the mount and then cut into the shape of the label pieces, the deviation of the arrangement position of the label pieces can be reduced compared to the case where the cut label pieces are affixed to the mount.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0018] The embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the following examples, in which the first label piece 5 corresponds to the transparent label piece according to the present invention, and the second label piece 6 corresponds to the opaque label piece according to the present invention. EXAMPLES

[0019] The label form 1 of this embodiment is for issuing laminate labels to be affixed to vehicles. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the label form 1 of this embodiment has two label pieces 5, 6 affixed in an easily peelable manner to a rectangular backing 3. The two label pieces 5, 6 are disposed on the upper and lower parts of the backing 3, respectively. The first label piece 5 affixed to the upper part of the backing 3 is transparent. The second label piece 6 affixed to the lower part of the backing 3 is opaque, and has a background pattern print 27 printed on both sides. Both the first label piece 5 and the second label piece 6 are square-shaped, and the first label piece 5 is slightly smaller than the second label piece 6.

[0020] The label form 1 of this embodiment is configured to produce a laminate label by printing required information on the label pieces 5, 6 and then pasting one label piece 5, 6 on top of the other. Here, vehicle labels include exterior laminate labels that are attached to the exterior surface of a motorcycle or the like, and interior laminate labels that are attached to the inside of the window glass of an automobile or the like to be visible through the window glass, and the label form 1 of this embodiment can selectively produce exterior laminate labels and interior laminate labels by selecting the top-bottom arrangement of the first label piece 5 and the second label piece.

[0021] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, pre-printed information 10 such as "first seal", "second seal", "mountain fold A", "mountain fold B", and "valley fold" and indicators 28 and 29 described later are printed on the surface of the mount 3. A first fold line 12 capable of performing a valley fold is formed on the mount 3 at a position that divides the longitudinal direction into approximately two equal parts, so as to cross the mount 3 in the short direction. The first fold line 12 connects the upper first support part 13 to which the first label piece 5 is attached and the lower second support part 14 to which the second label piece 6 is attached. A second fold line 16 capable of performing a mountain fold is formed in a predetermined position of the first support part 13 parallel to the first fold line 12. The portion located between the second fold line 16 and the first fold line 12 is defined as a first folded piece part 17. Similarly, a third fold line 18 capable of performing a mountain fold is formed in a predetermined position of the second support part 14 parallel to the first fold line 12. The portion located between the third fold line 18 and the first fold line 12 is a second fold piece 19. The first fold line 12, the second fold line 16, and the third fold line 18 are all formed by perforations, so that when folding the backing sheet 3 into a Z shape at the fold lines 12, 16, and 18 as described below, the folding operation can be easily performed.

[0022] As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the first label piece 5 is attached in an easily peelable manner to the approximate center of the first carrier 13, straddling the second fold line 16. On the other hand, the second label piece 6 is attached in an easily peelable manner to the approximate center of the second carrier 14, straddling the third fold line 18. As described above, the second label piece 6 is a square shape larger in both length and width than the first label piece 5, and is disposed in a position facing the first label piece 5 across the first fold line 12. That is, the central square part of the first carrier 13 to which the first label piece 5 is attached corresponds to the "transparent label piece arrangement part" according to the present invention, and the central square part of the second carrier 14 to which the first label piece 5 is attached corresponds to the "opaque label piece arrangement part" according to the present invention. The part to which the first label piece 5 and the second label piece 6 are not attached corresponds to the "non-label piece arrangement part" according to the present invention. Both the first label piece 5 and the second label piece 6 have an adhesive on the backing, and are configured so that after one label piece 5, 6 is pasted onto the other on the backing 3, they can be peeled off from the backing 3 and affixed to a vehicle.

[0023] It is preferable that the second fold line 16 and the third fold line 18 are formed in positions that are approximately symmetrical with respect to the first fold line 12 as the axis of symmetry, and that the first label piece 5 and the second label piece 6 are attached so that their respective centers overlap the second fold line 16 or the third fold line 18. With this configuration, when the backing sheet 3 is folded in a Z shape, the centers of the first label piece 5 and the second label piece 6 can be easily overlapped, and when producing the interior laminate label A and the exterior laminate label B described below, the first label piece 5 and the second label piece 6 can be attached together without misalignment or wrinkles.

[0024] 1, in the first support unit 13, indicators 28 indicating the position where the second label piece 6 is to be attached to the first label piece 5 are pre-printed on the surface of the backing paper 3. These indicators 28 are L-shaped indicators indicating the four corners of the attachment position of the second label piece 6, and when producing the inner-attachment laminate label A described later, the second label piece 6 can be laminated on the first label piece 5 so that the four corners match up with the L-shaped indicators, allowing accurate alignment.

[0025] On the other hand, with respect to the second carrier 14, an indicator 29 indicating the affixing position of the first label piece 5 is pre-printed on the surface of the second label piece 6. Similar to the indicators 28 on the first carrier 13, these indicators 29 are L-shaped indicators indicating the four corners of the affixing position of the first label piece 5, respectively, and when producing the externally attached laminate label B described below, the first label piece 5 can be accurately aligned by laminating it on the second label piece 6 so that the four corners match up with the L-shaped indicators.

[0026] Next, we will explain how to make laminate labels using the label form 1. As shown in Figure 1, the label form 1 is delivered to a laminate label issuer (government office, university, company, etc.) in single sheet format. The laminate label issuer can selectively make two types of laminate labels, one for inside and one for outside, using the delivered label form 1.

[0027] When the label slip 1 is used to prepare a laminate label for inner application, the required information 32 such as a business permit, school admission permit, parking permit, admission permit, 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 FIG. 3(A). The back of the required information 32 is covered by the second label piece 6, so that the printed surface of the required information 32 is protected and the displayed information can be prevented from being tampered with. In addition, as shown in FIG. 3(A), information 33 such as precautions for using the laminate label may be printed on the front of the second label piece 6 as necessary. Here, the required information 32 and information 33 can be printed on the front of the second label piece 6 as well. A known printer such as a thermal transfer printer, an inkjet printer, or a laser printer can be used to print the required information 32 and information 33.

[0028] As shown in FIG. 4, the label slip 1 printed by the printer is folded in a Z-shape by peeling the front end portion of the second label piece 6 from the second fold piece 19 and folding the backing sheet 3 in a valley fold at the first fold line 12 and in a mountain fold at the second fold line 16, so that the front end portion of the second label piece 6 peeled from the second fold piece 19 extends forward. In this state, the front end portion of the second label piece 6 is laminated to the first label piece 5 through the adhesive force of the adhesive on the back surface so as to be difficult to peel, and then the remaining portion of the second label piece 6 is peeled from the second support part 14 and laminated to the first label piece 5 through the adhesive so as to be difficult to peel. Here, the first support part 13 is provided with an index 28 (see FIG. 3(A)) indicating the attachment position of the second label piece 6, so that the second label piece 6 and the first label piece 5 can be easily aligned so that their centers are approximately aligned. By this procedure, the laminate label A for inner attachment is produced in a state where it is attached to the backing sheet 3, as shown in FIG. 5.

[0029] The prepared interior laminate label A is easily peeled and attached onto a backing sheet 3. The interior laminate label A is then peeled off from the backing sheet 3 and attached to the inside of a transparent window glass or the like via the adhesive on the back side, so that required information 32 (see FIG. 3(A)) printed on the back side of the first label piece 5 can be seen from the front side of the window glass or the like. At this time, the opaque second label piece 6 blocks the transmission of light to the back side, thereby improving the visibility of the required information 32.

[0030] On the other hand, when producing an exterior laminate label from the label slip 1, the required information 32 such as a business permit, school entry permit, parking permit, admission permit, etc. is printed on the front side of the second label piece 6 using a printer controlled by a computer such as a personal computer, as shown in Fig. 3(B). Here, the required information 32 can be printed using a known printer such as a thermal transfer printer, inkjet printer, or laser printer.

[0031] The label slip 1 printed by the printer as described above is folded in the opposite direction to that when the laminate label A for inner application is made, as shown in FIG. 6. Specifically, the front end portion of the first label piece 5 is peeled off from the first fold-out piece 17, and the backing sheet 3 is folded in a Z shape by making a valley fold at the first fold line 12 and a mountain fold at the second fold line 16, so that the front end portion of the first label piece 5 peeled off from the first fold-out piece 17 extends forward. In this state, the front end portion of the first label piece 5 is laminated to the second label piece 6 in a manner that makes it difficult to peel off through the adhesive force of the adhesive on the back surface, and 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 in a manner that makes it difficult to peel off through the adhesive. Here, since an index 29 (see FIG. 3(B)) indicating the attachment position of the first label piece 5 is displayed on the surface of the second label piece 6, it is easy to align the second label piece 6 and the first label piece 5 so that their centers are approximately aligned. By this procedure, the exterior laminate label B is produced in a state where it is attached to the mount 3, as shown in FIG.

[0032] The produced laminate label B for external application is easily peeled and attached onto the backing sheet 3. Then, the laminate label B for external application is peeled off from the second support 14 and attached to the outer surface of a vehicle body or the like via the adhesive on the back side, so that the required information 32 (see FIG. 6(B)) printed on the first label piece 5 on the front side can be viewed from the outside of the vehicle body or the like on the front side.

[0033] The essential configuration of the present invention will be described below. As shown in Fig. 8(A), in the areas where the label pieces 5, 6 are provided, a transparent substrate 20 and an opaque substrate 23 are laminated on the backing 3. Specifically, in the areas where the label pieces 5, 6 are provided, the opaque substrate 23 is attached on the backing 3 via an adhesive layer 24 on the back side, and the transparent substrate 20 is attached on the opaque substrate 23 via an adhesive layer 21 on the back side. The substrates 20, 23 provided on the two label pieces 5, 6 are formed by attaching a common continuous substrate 20, 23 to the backing 3 and then separating it. Note that in areas where the label pieces 5, 6 are not provided, the substrates 20, 23 are not laminated on the backing 3, and the surface of the backing 3 is exposed.

[0034] As shown in FIG. 8(A), the mount 3 is composed of a mount body 7 and a release agent layer 8. The mount body 7 is made of a material such as high-quality paper, synthetic paper, or resin film having appropriate bending resistance. The release agent layer 8 is formed by applying a transparent release agent made of silicone or the like to the surface of the mount body 7. The release agent layer 8 is formed on the entire surface of the mount 3 except for the area where the first label piece 5 is arranged. Therefore, in the area where the first label piece 5 is arranged, the opaque substrate 23 is attached to the mount 3 (mount body 7) in a manner that makes it difficult to peel it off, and in the area where the second label piece 6 is arranged, the opaque substrate 23 is attached to the mount 3 (release agent layer 8) in an easy-to-peel manner. The above-mentioned pre-printed information 10 is printed on the mount body 7 before the release agent layer 8 is applied. Since the release agent layer 8 is transparent, the visibility of the pre-printed information 10 is not impaired by the release agent layer 8. Furthermore, in this embodiment, in order to make it difficult to peel off the opaque substrate 23 attached to the backing paper 3 at the location of the first label piece 5, the release agent layer 8 is missing from the entire location of the first label piece 5. However, it is not necessary to remove the release agent layer 8 from the entire location of the first label piece 5, and it is sufficient to only remove the release agent layer 8 partially.

[0035] The opaque substrate 23 is made of a printable opaque material such as synthetic paper, coated paper, fine paper, or synthetic resin, and is attached to the mount 3 via a transparent adhesive layer 24 formed on the back side. The opaque substrate 23 is not limited to a single-layered sheet, and may be a laminated structure made of multiple sheets. The opaque substrate 23 may be opaque as a whole, and may adopt a laminated structure of a transparent sheet and an opaque sheet. A background pattern print 27 is formed on both sides of the opaque substrate 23 at the location where the second label piece 6 is arranged. By forming such background pattern print 27 on the front and back of the second label piece 6, it is possible to make it difficult to counterfeit the laminate label and improve its aesthetic appearance. The background pattern print 27 is preferably of a color and density that does not impede the visibility of the required information 32 (see FIG. 3) printed on the first label piece 5 and the second label piece 6, and a halftone dot print is preferable as the printing mode.

[0036] The transparent substrate 20 is made of a transparent material that can be printed on the surface, and a transparent synthetic resin film with high smoothness such as PET resin can be suitably used. The opaque substrate 23 is not limited to a sheet with a single-layer structure, and may be a laminate structure made of multiple sheets. The transparent substrate 20 is attached to the opaque substrate 23 via a transparent adhesive layer 21 formed on the back surface. Here, as shown in FIG. 8(A), a transparent release agent layer 9 formed by applying a release agent is formed on the entire surface of the opaque substrate 23 at the location where the first label piece 5 is arranged, so that the transparent substrate 20 is attached to the opaque substrate 23 in an easily peelable manner at the location where the first label piece 5 is arranged. On the other hand, the release agent layer 9 is not formed on the surface of the opaque substrate 23 at the location where the second label piece 6 is arranged, and the transparent substrate 20 is attached to the opaque substrate 23 in an easily peelable manner.

[0037] In this way, in the arrangement area of ​​the label pieces 5 and 6, the common opaque substrate 23 is attached to the mount 3 via the adhesive layer 24 on the back side, and the common transparent substrate 20 is attached to the opaque substrate 23 via the adhesive layer 21 on the back side. Then, in the arrangement area of ​​the first label piece 5, the transparent substrate 20 is attached so as to be easily peeled from the opaque substrate 23, and the opaque substrate 23 is attached so as to be difficult to peel from the mount 3, so that, as shown in FIG. 8(B), in the arrangement area of ​​the first label piece 5, only the transparent substrate 20 is peeled from the mount 3 to form a transparent first label piece 5. On the other hand, in the arrangement area of ​​the second label piece 6, the transparent substrate 20 is attached so as to be difficult to peel from the opaque substrate 23, and the opaque substrate 23 is attached so as to be easily peeled from the mount 3, so that, in the arrangement area of ​​the second label piece 6, the laminate of the transparent substrate 20 and the opaque substrate 23 is peeled from the mount 3 to form an opaque second label piece 6, as shown in FIG. 8(B).

[0038] The label form 1 of this embodiment can be manufactured, for example, by carrying out the following steps (1) to (6) in order. (1) Processing of Mount 3 (A) Preprinted information 10 and indicators 28, 29 are printed on a strip-shaped mount body 7. (B) A release agent is applied to the surface of the mount body 7 to form a release agent layer 8. (C) Fold lines 12, 16, and 18 are formed on the mount body 7. (2) Processing of the opaque substrate 23 (A) A background pattern print 27 and an index 29 are printed on a belt-shaped opaque base material 23 at required locations. (B) A release agent is applied to the surface of the opaque substrate 23 to form a release agent layer 9. (3) Bonding of the backing 3 and the base materials 20, 23 9, adhesive 31 is applied to the backside of belt-shaped transparent base material 20 and opaque base material 23, respectively, to bond transparent base material 20, opaque base material 23, and mount 3. At this time, the three sheets may be bonded at the same time, or any two sheets may be bonded first. (4) Cut out label pieces 5 and 6 A half-cut line 30 is formed in the joined transparent base material 20 and opaque base material 23, and the two pieces of label 5, 6 are die-cut into the shape of the label pieces 5, 6. In this process, it is preferable to die-cut the two pieces of label 5, 6 simultaneously, because this reduces the misalignment of the forming positions of the two pieces of label 5, 6 and also reduces the number of steps. (5) Removing waste The base materials 20, 23 attached to the non-applied areas of the label pieces 5, 6 are peeled off from the mount 3 as label waste. (6) Cutting A continuous strip of paper containing multiple label forms 1 is cut to the size of a single sheet.

[0039] As described above, in the label form 1 of this embodiment, the common base materials 20, 23 are laminated at the locations where the two label pieces 5, 6 are to be arranged. Therefore, as in the manufacturing process described above, if the continuous transparent base material 20 and opaque base material 23 are attached to the mount 3 and then the base materials 20, 23 are die-cut into the shapes of the label pieces 5, 6, the base materials 20, 23 constituting the transparent first label piece 5 and the opaque second label piece 6 can be affixed together. Therefore, the label form 1 of this embodiment can save the effort of attaching the label pieces one by one to the mount during manufacturing. In particular, when a plurality of label forms 1 are produced in a continuous band-like state as in the manufacturing process described above, the base materials 20, 23 constituting the label pieces 5, 6 of a plurality of label forms 1 can be affixed together. In addition, the label form 1 of this embodiment can be manufactured by die-cutting the label pieces 5, 6 after affixing the base materials 20, 23 to the backing paper 3, which has the advantage of reducing misalignment of the arrangement of the label pieces 5, 6 compared to the conventional configuration in which the cut label pieces 5, 6 are affixed individually to the backing paper 3. In this embodiment, the common base materials 20, 23 are laminated in the locations where the label pieces 5, 6 are provided, so that the thickness of the label form 1 is approximately equal in the locations where the first label piece 5 and the second label piece 6 are provided. With this configuration, the label form 1 can be stacked without being significantly tilted, and printing defects in the first label piece 5 and the second label piece 6 can also be reduced. EXAMPLES

[0040] This embodiment is a modified example of the configuration of the above-described embodiment 1. Configurations common to embodiment 1 are denoted by common reference numerals in the text and drawings, and detailed description thereof will be omitted. In the above-mentioned Example 1, the transparent substrate 20 and the opaque substrate 23 are laminated only at the locations where the label pieces 5 and 6 are arranged (see Figure 8), whereas in the label form 1a of this example, the transparent substrate 20 and the opaque substrate 23 are laminated over the entire surface of the backing paper 3, as shown in Figure 10.

[0041] That is, in the manufacturing method of the label form 1 of the above-mentioned Example 1, after each of the base materials 20, 23 stacked on the backing paper 3 is die-cut into the shape of the label pieces 5, 6, the base materials 20, 23 in the areas where the label pieces 5, 6 are not placed are removed as label waste, but the label form 1a of this example can be manufactured by not removing the base materials 20, 23 from the areas where the label pieces 5, 6 are not placed after die-cutting, but leaving them in place.

[0042] In the label form 1a of this embodiment, a transparent substrate 20 and an opaque substrate 23 are attached across the areas where the label pieces 5, 6 are provided and the areas where they are not provided, but the substrates 20, 23 are separated by a half-cut line 30 formed along the boundary between the areas where the label pieces 5, 6 are provided and the areas where they are not provided. In addition, a release agent layer 8 is formed on the backing paper 3 over the entire areas where the label pieces 5, 6 are not provided. Therefore, in this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 11, all of the substrates 20, 23 in the areas where the label pieces 5, 6 are not provided can be easily peeled off while the substrates 20, 23 constituting the label pieces 5, 6 remain attached.

[0043] The label form 1a of this embodiment is flatter and has a more uniform thickness than the first embodiment or the conventional configuration because the transparent base material 20 and the opaque base material 23 are laminated over the entire surface of the mount 3. In this configuration, when printing the required information 32 on the label pieces 5, 6, the label form 1a can be transported more stably by the printer and printing can be performed with higher quality than in the first embodiment or the conventional configuration.

[0044] In this embodiment, the base materials 20, 23 constituting the label pieces 5, 6 are separated from the surrounding base materials 20, 23 by the half-cut line 30, but the edges of the label pieces 5, 6 interfere with the surrounding base materials 20, 23 across the half-cut line 30, making them less likely to roll up from the backing paper 3 than in the above-mentioned embodiment 1. This configuration has the advantage that the label form 1a can be easily transported using the curl transport method. As shown in Figure 12, even if the label form 1 is slightly curved to follow the outer circumferential surface of the transport roller 35 of the printer when printing on the label pieces 5, 6, the edges of the label pieces 5, 6 are less likely to roll up, and the label pieces 5, 6 are less likely to fall off the backing paper 3.

[0045] In the label slip 1a of this embodiment, similarly to the first embodiment, the required information 32 is printed on the label pieces 5, 6 (see FIG. 3), and the backing 3 is folded in a Z-shape to laminate the two label pieces 5, 6, so that two types of laminate labels A, B for inner and outer pasting can be selectively produced. Here, in the case of this embodiment, after the required information 32 is printed on the label pieces 5, 6, it is preferable to remove the base material 20, 23 from the non-disposition areas of the label pieces 5, 6 as shown in FIG. 11. This is because, when the larger second label piece 6 is pasted on the smaller first label piece 5, the outer periphery of the second label piece 6 can be prevented from sticking out of the first label piece 5 and being stuck to the transparent base material 20 around the first label piece 5 in a difficult-to-peel manner. In addition, by removing the base material 20, 23 from above the fold lines 12, 16, 18 of the backing 3, it becomes easier to fold the backing 3 in a Z-shape when pasting the label pieces 5, 6 together.

[0046] In this embodiment, the transparent substrate 20 and the opaque substrate 23 are separated by the half-cut line 30 at the boundary between the areas where the label pieces 5, 6 are provided and the areas where they are not provided, but the cut of the half-cut line 30 need only separate the substrates 20, 23 and does not have to separate the adhesive layers 21, 24 of the label pieces 5, 6. The half-cut line 30 may also be such that it does not completely separate the substrates 20, 23 along the boundary between the areas where the label pieces 5, 6 are provided and the areas where they are not provided, but only slightly connects them. In the above embodiment, the entire base material 20, 23 of the non-disposition areas of the label pieces 5, 6 is attached so as to be peelable, but only a portion of the base material 20, 23 of the non-disposition areas of the label pieces 5, 6 may be configured to be peelable. For example, simply peeling off the base material 20, 23 around the first label piece 5 after printing the required information 32 can prevent the outer periphery of the second label piece 6 attached on the first label piece 5 from sticking to the surrounding transparent base material 20. Also, simply peeling off the base material 20, 23 of the portions overlapping with the fold lines 12, 16, 18 of the mount 3 after printing the required information 32 can make it easier to fold the mount 3 in a Z shape. EXAMPLES

[0047] This embodiment is a modified example of the configuration of the above-described embodiment 2. Configurations common to embodiment 2 are denoted by common reference numerals in the text and drawings, and detailed description thereof will be omitted. As shown in Fig. 13, in the label form 1b of this embodiment, the transparent substrate 20 and the opaque substrate 23 are laminated on the entire surface of the mount 3, as in the above-mentioned embodiment 2. Here, in the above-mentioned embodiment 2, all the substrates 20, 23 can be peeled off from the non-placed areas of the label pieces 5, 6 (see Fig. 11), whereas in the above-mentioned embodiment 2, only the transparent substrate 20 can be peeled off from the non-placed areas of the label pieces 5, 6. Specifically, as shown in Fig. 13, in the non-placed areas of the label pieces 5, 6, the release agent layer 8 is not formed on the mount 3, and a release agent layer 9 is disposed on the opaque substrate 23, and as shown in Fig. 14, all the transparent substrates 20 in the non-placed areas of the label pieces 5, 6 can be easily peeled off while the substrates 20, 23 constituting the label pieces 5, 6 are attached.

[0048] As in the above-described embodiment 2, this embodiment has the advantage that the entire label is flat, so that the printer can stably transport the label form and print with higher quality than the embodiment 1 and the conventional configuration. In addition, even if the label form 1b is curved to follow the outer circumferential surface of the printer's transport roller, the label pieces 5 and 6 are unlikely to curl up, so that the label form 1 can be easily transported using a curl transport method.

[0049] In the label slip 1b of this embodiment, similarly to the first and second embodiments, the required information 32 is printed on the label pieces 5 and 6 (see FIG. 3), and the mount 3 is folded in a Z-shape to laminate the two label pieces 5 and 6, so that two types of laminate labels A and B for inner and outer pasting can be selectively produced. Here, in the case of this embodiment, after the required information 32 is printed on the label pieces 5 and 6, it is preferable to remove the substrates 20 and 23 from the non-applied portions of the label pieces 5 and 6 as shown in FIG. 14. This is because, when the larger second label piece 6 is pasted on the smaller first label piece 5, it is possible to prevent the outer periphery of the second label piece 6 from protruding outside the first label piece 5 and sticking to the transparent substrate 20 around the first label piece 5 in a difficult-to-peel manner. In addition, since the release agent layer 9 is formed on the surface of the opaque substrate 23, even if the outer periphery of the second label piece 6 sticks to the opaque substrate 23, it can be easily peeled off. Furthermore, by peeling off the transparent base material 20 from above the fold lines 12, 16, and 18 of the mount 3, it becomes easier to fold the label form 1b into a Z shape when attaching the label pieces 5 and 6 together. EXAMPLES

[0050] This embodiment is a modified example of the configuration of the above-described embodiment 2. Configurations common to embodiment 2 are denoted by common reference numerals in the text and drawings, and detailed description thereof will be omitted. 15, in the label form 1c of this embodiment, similarly to the above-mentioned embodiment 2, a transparent base material 20 and an opaque base material 23 are laminated over the entire surface of a mount 3. Here, in the above-mentioned embodiment 2, the base materials 20, 23 can be peeled off from the areas where the label pieces 5, 6 are not provided, whereas in this embodiment, the base materials 20, 23 cannot be peeled off from the areas where the label pieces 5, 6 are not provided.

[0051] Specifically, as shown in Fig. 15, in the non-applied areas of the label pieces 5, 6, the release agent layers 8, 9 are not provided on the mount 3 or on the opaque substrate 23, the opaque substrate 23 is attached to the mount 3 in a manner that makes it difficult to peel, and the transparent substrate 20 is attached to the opaque substrate 23 in a manner that makes it difficult to peel. The substrates 20, 23 constituting the label pieces 5, 6 are cut from the surrounding substrates 20, 23 by the half-cut line 30, so that the label pieces 5, 6 can be easily peeled off from the mount 3 even in a state in which the substrates 20, 23 are attached to the periphery of the label pieces 5, 6, as shown in Fig. 16. It is not necessary to remove the release agent layers 8, 9 from the entire non-applied areas of the label pieces 5, 6, but it is sufficient to remove only a portion of the non-applied areas of the label pieces 5, 6.

[0052] In this embodiment, as in the above-mentioned embodiments 2 and 3, the entire structure is flat, and therefore, compared to the embodiment 1 and the conventional configuration, the printer can stably convey the label document and can print with higher quality. In particular, in this embodiment, the substrates 20 and 23 around the label pieces 5 and 6 are attached in a manner that makes them difficult to peel off, so that when the label document 1b is bent, the label pieces 5 and 6 are more difficult to roll up due to interference with the surrounding substrates 20 and 23. When peeling the label pieces 5 and 6 from the backing paper 3, as shown in FIG. 17, if the backing paper 3 is pinched with fingers and the substrates 20 and 23 are bent at the boundary between the placement area and non-placement area of ​​the label pieces 5 and 6, the edge of the label pieces 5 and 6 can be relatively easily rolled up. This is because, as the backing paper 3 is bent, the half-cut line 30 is split, and the edge of the label pieces 5 and 6 is separated from the surrounding substrates 20 and 23 and does not interfere with each other. Therefore, when producing a laminate label, the label pieces 5 and 6 can be peeled off without any trouble.

[0053] In the label slip 1b of this embodiment, similarly to the first to third embodiments, the required information 32 is printed on the label pieces 5, 6 (see FIG. 3), and the mount 3 is folded in a Z-shape to laminate the two label pieces 5, 6, so that two types of laminate labels A, B for inner and outer pasting can be selectively produced. Here, in this embodiment, the mount 3 is folded in a Z-shape while the base material 20, 23 is attached to the non-disposition portion of the label pieces 5, 6. Therefore, in order to make it easy to bend the mount 3 at the fold lines 12, 16, 18, the base material 20, 23 at the positions substantially overlapping with the fold lines 12, 16, 18 is subjected to easy bending processing. Specifically, in this embodiment, as the easy bending processing, the base material 20, 23 at the positions substantially overlapping with the fold lines 12, 16, 18 is formed with a perforation 34. In addition to the formation of perforations, the easy bending processing can also include the formation of half-cut lines and cutting processing using a laser. In addition, when each of the base materials 20, 23 is easily bendable and does not hinder the folding of the mount 3, easy bending processing is not necessary.

[0054] 16 and 18, a release agent layer 36 is formed on the surface of the transparent substrate 20 around the first label piece 5 in this embodiment. The release agent layer 36 is formed so as to be adjacent to the outer edge of the first label piece 5 all around, and its outer periphery is larger than the second label piece 6. With this configuration, when the larger second label piece 6 is bonded onto the smaller first label piece 5, even if the outer periphery of the second label piece 6 protrudes outside the first label piece 5 and sticks to the transparent substrate 20 around the first label piece 5, the bonded label pieces 5, 6 can be easily peeled off.

[0055] Although an embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the label form of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0056] For example, the label form 1d in Fig. 19 is a modified example in which, in addition to the carrying units 13, 14 of the above embodiment, a bonding unit 11 is provided to bond two label pieces 5, 6 together. The present invention can be applied to a configuration including a bonding unit 11 in this manner by laminating a transparent substrate 20 and an opaque substrate 23 at the locations where the label pieces 5, 6 are provided, as in the above embodiment. Note that the label form including a bonding unit is itself publicly known (see Patent Document 5), and therefore a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0057] In addition, the label form 1 in the above embodiment is cut into single sheets, but the present invention may be a continuous form format in which multiple label forms are continuous in the longitudinal or lateral direction. Also, the backing sheet 3 may be printed with instructions on how to make the laminate labels A and B. Also, an instruction sheet with instructions on how to make the laminate labels A and B printed on it may be detachably connected to the label form 1.

[0058] In addition, in the above embodiment, the three fold lines 12, 16, 18 formed on the label form 1 are formed by perforations, but these fold lines are not limited to perforations and may be formed by groove-shaped fold lines formed by pressure processing, half-cut lines that do not cut the paper thickness, etc.

[0059] The transparent label piece according to the present invention is not limited to being colorless and transparent, but may be colored or have a background pattern printed thereon to the extent that the back side can be seen through the material. 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 may be circular, elliptical, polygonal, or any other shape. In the above embodiment, the opaque second label piece 6 is larger than the transparent first label piece 5, but the transparent first label piece 5 may be larger than the opaque second label piece 6, or the first label piece 5 and the second label piece 6 may be the same size.

[0060] In addition, the label form 1 in the above embodiment can be used in two ways: by bonding the second label piece 6 onto the first label piece 5 to create a laminate label, or by bonding the first label piece 5 onto the second label piece 6 to create a laminate label, but the label form of the present invention may be used for only one of these purposes.

[0061] In addition, in the label form 1 of the above embodiment, the first support portion 13 and the second support portion 14 are continuous vertically, but the first support portion 13 and the second support portion 14 may be continuous horizontally.

[0062] In addition, in the above-mentioned Example 1, the base material 20, 23 in the non-placement areas of the label pieces 5, 6 is completely removed during manufacturing, and in the above-mentioned Examples 2 to 4, the base material 20, 23 in the non-placement areas of the label pieces 5, 6 is completely left in place, but it is also possible to remove part of the base material 20, 23 in the non-placement areas of the label pieces 5, 6 during manufacturing, and leave only part (for example, only the periphery of the label pieces 5, 6).
