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 constructed with different base materials for the transparent and opaque label pieces, and the base material constituting each label piece is cut to the size of each label piece and then individually affixed to a predetermined 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 mount so as to be easily peeled off, and one of the label pieces is attached on the other label piece on the mount so that the two label pieces can be peeled off from the mount in a state in which they are attached together, and the transparent label piece and the opaque label piece are made of a common film base material attached to the mount, the film base material being made of a transparent resin, and the opaque label piece is subjected to an opacifying treatment to make the film base opaque. Here, "easy peeling" means a state in which the label piece is configured so that it can be peeled off without damaging the mount or the base material and leaving no glue residue, and "difficult to peeling" means a state in which the label piece is not configured so that it can be peeled off without damaging the mount or the base material and leaving no glue residue. In addition, the "transparent label piece" according to the present invention is not limited to a colorless and transparent one, but includes one that is 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 one that completely blocks light, but includes one that does not block the back side through the material.

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

[0008] The "opaque processing" according to the present invention is a process for making a film substrate made of a transparent resin opaque. It is proposed that such opaque processing is opaque printing applied to at least one surface of the film substrate. With opaque printing, the film substrate can be relatively easily made opaque and used as an opaque label piece. In addition to opaque printing, other examples of opaque processing include whitening a transparent resin by irradiation with laser light, and roughening the surface of a film substrate by forming a large number of minute irregularities and scratches.

[0009] In the present invention, it is proposed that the film base be attached across the label piece placement area and non-placement area, be attached to the backing paper in an easily peelable manner at least at the label piece placement area, and be separated at the boundary between the label piece placement area and the non-label piece placement area by a half-cut line that does not cut the backing paper.

[0010] 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 film base material in 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.

[0011] In the above-mentioned configuration, it is proposed that the film base be disposed over the entire surface of the mount.

[0012] In this configuration, the label form 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 form can be transported stably by the printer and the print quality can be improved.

[0013] In the above configuration, a configuration is proposed in which the surface of the film 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 film substrate with a release agent and roughening the surface of the film substrate.

[0014] In this configuration, when one label piece is affixed onto the other label piece affixed to the mount, even if the outer periphery of one label piece extends around the other label piece and becomes affixed onto the surrounding film base material, the affixed label pieces can be easily peeled off.

[0015] In the above-mentioned configuration, the film base may be configured so that it can be peeled off from the mount at least around the periphery of the other label piece.

[0016] In such a configuration, by peeling off the film base material around one label piece before sticking the other label piece on top of the other label piece that is stuck to the mount, 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

[0017] As described above, the label form of the present invention can be manufactured more easily than the conventional configuration because the film base material constituting the transparent label piece and the opaque label piece can be affixed to the mount together during manufacturing. Also, if the film base material is affixed to the mount and then die-cut into the shape of the label piece, the deviation of the arrangement position of the label piece can be reduced compared to the case where the cut label piece is affixed to the mount.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0019] 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

[0020] 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 to a rectangular backing 3 in an easily peelable manner. 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 27 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.

[0021] The label form 1 of this embodiment is configured so that after required information is printed on the label pieces 5, 6, one label piece 5, 6 is pasted on top of the other to produce a laminate label made by laminating the two label pieces 5, 6. Here, vehicle labels include exterior laminate labels that are affixed to the exterior surface of a motorcycle or the like, and interior laminate labels that are affixed 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.

[0022] 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.

[0023] 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, it can be peeled off from the backing 3 and affixed to a vehicle.

[0024] 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.

[0025] 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.

[0026] 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.

[0027] 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.

[0028] When preparing a laminate label for inner use using the label slip 1, the required information 32 is printed on the first label piece 5, and then the second label piece 6 is pasted on the first label piece 5. Specifically, the required information 32 such as a business permit, a school admission permit, a parking permit, an 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 the information 33 can be printed on the front of the second label piece 6. 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 the information 33.

[0029] As shown in Fig. 4, when the front end portion of the second label piece 6 is peeled off from the second fold piece 19 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, the front end portion of the second label piece 6 peeled off 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 off, and then the remaining portion of the second label piece 6 is peeled off from the second support part 14 and laminated to the first label piece 5 through the adhesive so as to be difficult to peel off. 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 substantially aligned. By this procedure, an inner laminate label A is produced by laminating the second label piece 6 onto the first label piece 5, as shown in FIG.

[0030] Since a release agent layer 8 is provided on the entire surface of the backing 3 as described below, the manufactured interior laminate label A can be easily peeled off from the backing 3. Then, by peeling the interior laminate label A from the backing 3 and attaching it to the inside of a transparent window glass or the like via the adhesive on the back side, the required information 32 (see FIG. 3(A)) printed on the back of the first label piece 5 can be seen from the outside of the window glass or the like facing up. 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.

[0031] On the other hand, when producing an exterior laminate label using the label slip 1, the required information 32 is printed on the second label piece 6, and then the first label piece 5 is pasted onto the second label piece 6. Specifically, 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 output-controlled by a computer such as a personal computer, as shown in Fig. 3(B). Here, a known printer such as a thermal transfer printer, inkjet printer, or laser printer can be used to print the required information 32.

[0032] 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. 7, an exterior laminate label B is produced by laminating the first label piece 5 onto the second label piece 6 and attached to the mount 3. As shown in FIG.

[0033] Since a release agent layer 8 is provided on the entire surface of the backing 3 as described below, the produced laminate label B for external application can be easily peeled off from the backing 3. It is easily attached to the backing 3. Then, when the laminate label B for external application is peeled off from the second carrier 14 and attached to the outer surface of a vehicle body or the like via the adhesive on the back side, the required information 32 (see FIG. 3(B)) printed on the first label piece 5 can be viewed from the outside of the vehicle body or the like on the front side.

[0034] The essential configuration of the present invention will be described below. As shown in FIG. 8, the film substrate 20 constituting the label pieces 5, 6 is laminated on the mount 3 in the areas where the label pieces 5, 6 are provided. The two label pieces 5, 6 are made of a common film substrate. That is, the film substrate 20 constituting each label piece 5, 6 is formed by die-cutting a continuous piece into the shapes of the first label piece 5 and the second label piece 6. As will be described later, die-cutting of the film substrate 20 can be performed after the film substrate 20 is attached to the surface of the mount 3. In this embodiment, the film substrate 20 is not laminated on the mount 3 in the areas where the label pieces 5, 6 are not provided, and the surface of the mount 3 is exposed in the areas where the label pieces 5, 6 are not provided.

[0035] As shown in FIG. 8, 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, and the first label piece 5 and the second label piece 6 are easily peeled and attached to the mount 3 by the release agent layer 8. 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.

[0036] The film substrate 20 is a smooth transparent film that can be printed on its surface. The film substrate 20 is made of a transparent resin such as PET. The film substrate 20 is not limited to a single-layer structure, and may be a laminate structure made of multiple sheets. The film substrate 20 is attached to the release agent layer 8 of the mount 3 via a transparent adhesive layer 21 formed on the back surface, so that the film substrate 20 can be easily peeled off.

[0037] Since the first label piece 5 is transparent, the transparent film base 20 is used as is as the first label piece 5. In contrast, since the second label piece 6 is opaque, the film base 20 that has been opaqued by opacifying is used as the second label piece 6. The opacifying process is opaque printing applied to the front side of the film base 20. The opaque printing is opaque white-out printing using white ink, and is printed over the entire area of ​​the location where the second label piece 6 is to be disposed.

[0038] As shown in FIG. 8, the front side of the second label piece 6 is printed with background pattern printing layers 22 and 24 in addition to the opaque printing layer 23 formed by opaque printing. The background pattern printing layers 22 and 24 form the background pattern 27 on both sides of the second label piece 6. In the second label piece 6, the first background pattern printing layer 22 that forms the background pattern 27 visible from the back side is printed on the front surface of the film substrate 20. Then, the opaque printing layer 23 is printed on the first background pattern printing layer 22, and the second background pattern printing layer 24 that forms the background pattern 27 visible from the front side is printed on the opaque printing layer 23. Since the film substrate 20 is transparent, the background pattern 27 visible from the back side can also be printed on the front side of the film substrate 20 in this way. By providing the background pattern 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. It is preferable that such background pattern 27 be of a color and density that does not impair the visibility of the required information 32 (see Figure 3) printed on the first label piece 5 and the second label piece 6, and the printing method used is preferably halftone printing.

[0039] 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 The preprinted information 10 and indicators 28, 29 are printed on the surface of the belt-shaped mount body 7. Then, as shown in Fig. 9(A), a release agent is applied to the entire surface of the mount body 7 to form a release agent layer 8, and fold lines 12, 16, 18 are formed in the mount body 7. (2) Bonding of the backing 3 and the film substrate 20 An adhesive layer 21 is applied to the rear surface of the strip-shaped film substrate 20, and the film substrate 20 is bonded to the entire front surface of the mount 3, as shown in FIG. 9(B). (3) Printing of the film substrate 20 As shown in FIG. 9(C), a first tint block print layer 22, an opaque print layer 23, and a second tint block print layer 24 are printed in this order on the portion of the film substrate 20 that constitutes the second label piece 6. (4) Cut out label pieces 5 and 6 As shown in Fig. 10(A), half-cut lines 30 are formed in the joined film base material 20, and the film base material 20 is die-cut into the shapes of the label pieces 5 and 6. In this process, it is preferable to die-cut the two label pieces 5 and 6 simultaneously, because this reduces the misalignment of the forming positions of the two label pieces 5 and 6 and also reduces the number of steps. (5) Removing waste As shown in FIG. 10(B), the film base material 20 that does not constitute the label pieces 5 and 6, that is, the label waste 25, is peeled off from the mount 3. (6) Cutting As shown in FIG. 10(C), a strip of paper with multiple continuous label forms 1 is cut to the size of a single sheet.

[0040] As described above, in the label form 1 of this embodiment, the common film base 20 is 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 film base 20 is attached to the mount 3 and then the film base 20 is die-cut into the shapes of the label pieces 5, 6, the film base 20 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 affixing the label pieces 5, 6 one by one to the mount 3 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 film base material 20 constituting the label pieces 5, 6 of the 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 attaching the film base material 20 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 individually attached to the backing paper 3. In this embodiment, the common film base 20 is laminated to the locations of the label pieces 5, 6, so that the thickness of the label form 1 is approximately equal at the locations of the first label piece 5 and the second label piece 6. With this configuration, the label form 1 can be stacked without being significantly tilted, and printing defects of the first label piece 5 and the second label piece 6 can also be reduced. Furthermore, if the opaque second label piece 6 is made of a transparent film base material 20 as in this embodiment, the background pattern 27 can be provided on both sides of the second label piece 6 simply by forming the background pattern printing layers 22, 24 on the front side of the second label piece 6, which has the advantage that the background pattern 27 can be printed even after the second label piece 6 has been affixed to the backing paper 3. EXAMPLES

[0041] 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 film substrate 20 is laminated only in the areas where the label pieces 5 and 6 are arranged (see Figure 8), whereas in the label form 1a of this example, the film substrate 20 is laminated over the entire surface of the mount 3, as shown in Figure 11.

[0042] That is, in the manufacturing method of the label form 1 of the above-mentioned Example 1, the film base material 20 laminated on the backing paper 3 is die-cut into the shape of the label pieces 5, 6, and then the label waste 25 (film base material 20 in the areas where the label pieces 5, 6 are not disposed) is removed, but the label form 1a of this example can be manufactured by not removing the label waste 25 after die-cutting, but leaving it in the areas where the label pieces 5, 6 are not disposed.

[0043] 12, in this embodiment, the film substrate 20 is disposed over the entire surface of the mount 3. As a result, the label form 1a of this embodiment is flatter and has a uniform thickness compared to the first embodiment and the conventional configuration. In this configuration, when printing the required information 32 on the label pieces 5, 6, the printer can transport the label form 1a more stably and can print with higher quality compared to the first embodiment and the conventional configuration.

[0044] 12, a release agent layer 8 is formed on the entire surface of the mount 3, and the film substrate 20 is attached to the entire surface of the mount 3 in an easily peelable manner. The film substrate 20 is separated by half-cut lines 30 that do not cut the mount 3 and are formed along the boundaries between the areas where the label pieces 5, 6 are provided and the areas where they are not provided, and this allows the label pieces 5, 6 and the label waste 25 to be peeled off individually from the mount 3.

[0045] In this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 12, the film base material 20 constituting the label pieces 5, 6 and the surrounding film base material 20 constituting the label waste 25 are separated by the half-cut line 30, but the edges of the label pieces 5, 6 interfere with the edges of the surrounding label waste 25 by sandwiching the half-cut line 30. Therefore, in this embodiment, the label pieces 5, 6 are less likely to be rolled 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 by the curl transport method. As shown in Fig. 13, even if the label form 1 is slightly curved following 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 be rolled up, and the label pieces 5, 6 are less likely to fall off the backing paper 3.

[0046] In the label slip 1a of this embodiment, similar 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, it is preferable to remove the label waste 25 as shown in FIG. 12 after printing the required information 32 on the label pieces 5, 6. 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 label waste 25 around the first label piece 5 in a difficult-to-peel manner. In addition, by removing the film substrate 20 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.

[0047] In this embodiment, the film base 20 is cut 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 cut the film base 20, and may not cut the adhesive layer 21 of the label pieces 5, 6, and may reach the surface of the mount 3. The half-cut line 30 may not completely cut the film base 20 along the boundary between the areas where the label pieces 5, 6 are provided and the areas where they are not provided, but may slightly connect the film base 20. In the above embodiment, the entire label waste 25 is attached so as to be peelable, but only a portion of the label waste 25 may be configured to be peelable. For example, simply peeling off the label waste 25 around the first label piece 5 after the required information 32 is printed can prevent the outer periphery of the second label piece 6 attached on the first label piece 5 from sticking to the surrounding label waste 25. Also, simply peeling off the label waste 25 from the portions that overlap with the fold lines 12, 16, and 18 of the backing paper 3 after the required information 32 is printed can make it easier to fold the backing paper 3 into a Z shape. EXAMPLES

[0048] 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. 14, in the label form 1b of this embodiment, the film substrate 20 is laminated over the entire surface of the mount 3, similar to the above-mentioned embodiment 2. Here, while in the above-mentioned embodiment 2, the label waste 25 can be peeled off from the mount 3, in this embodiment, the label waste 25 cannot be peeled off from the mount 3.

[0049] Specifically, as shown in Fig. 14, in the areas where the label pieces 5, 6 are not provided, the release agent layer 8 is not provided on the backing paper 3, and the label waste 25 is attached to the backing paper 3 in a manner that makes it difficult to peel it off. The film base material 20 constituting the label pieces 5, 6 is separated from the surrounding label waste 25 by the half-cut line 30, so that the label pieces 5, 6 can be easily peeled off from the backing paper 3 even in a state where the label waste 25 is attached around them, as shown in Fig. 15. Note that in this embodiment, the release agent layer 8 is missing from the entire areas where the label pieces 5, 6 are not provided, but the label waste 25 can be made impossible to peel off simply by providing the missing portion of the release agent layer 8 over a wide area of ​​the areas where the label pieces 5, 6 are not provided.

[0050] In this embodiment, as in the above-mentioned embodiment 2, the whole is flat, so that the printer can stably convey the label document and can print with higher quality than in the embodiment 1 and the conventional configuration. In particular, in this embodiment, the label waste 25 around the label pieces 5, 6 is attached in a manner that makes it difficult to peel off, so that when the label document 1b is bent, the label pieces 5, 6 are more difficult to roll up due to interference with the surrounding label waste 25. When peeling the label pieces 5, 6 from the backing paper 3, as shown in FIG. 16, if the backing paper 3 is pinched with fingers and the film base material 20 is bent at the boundary between the placement area and non-placement area of ​​the label pieces 5, 6, the edge of the label pieces 5, 6 can be relatively easily rolled up. This is because the half-cut line 30 is split as the backing paper 3 is bent, so that the edge of the label pieces 5, 6 is separated from the surrounding label waste 25 and does not interfere with each other. Therefore, peeling the label pieces 5, 6 does not take time when preparing a laminate label.

[0051] 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 this embodiment, since the mount 3 is folded in a Z-shape while the label waste 25 is attached, the film base material 20 is subjected to easy bending processing at a position that approximately overlaps with the folding lines 12, 16, and 18 so that the mount 3 can be easily bent at the folding lines 12, 16, and 18. Specifically, in this embodiment, as the easy bending processing, perforations 34 are formed in the film base material 20 at a position that approximately overlaps with the folding lines 12, 16, and 18. 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, in the case where the film base material 20 is easily bendable and does not impede the folding of the mount 3, easy bending processing is not necessary.

[0052] 15 and 17, a release agent layer 36 is formed on the surface of the film substrate 20 around the first label piece 5 in this embodiment to facilitate peeling of the adhesive. The release agent layer 36 is formed by applying a transparent release agent to the film substrate 20. The release agent layer 36 is formed so as to be adjacent to the outer edge of the first label piece 5 over the entire circumference, and its outer periphery is larger than that of the second label piece 6. This configuration has the advantage that 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 film substrate 20 around the first label piece 5, the bonded label pieces 5, 6 can be easily peeled off.

[0053] 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.

[0054] For example, the label form 1c in Fig. 18 is a modified example in which, in addition to the carrying sections 13, 14 of the above embodiment, a bonding section 11 is provided for bonding two label pieces 5, 6. The present invention can be applied to such a configuration that includes a bonding section 11 by laminating a common film substrate 20 to the locations where the label pieces 5, 6 are provided, as in the above embodiment. Note that the label form itself that includes a bonding section is publicly known (see Patent Document 5), and therefore a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0055] 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.

[0056] 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.

[0057] 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. The opaque label piece according to the present invention may have no background pattern on one or both sides. 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 have any shape, such as a circle, an ellipse, a polygon, etc. 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.

[0058] In addition, in the second label piece 6 according to the above embodiment, the film substrate 20 is made opaque by applying opaque printing, but instead of opaque printing, the film substrate 20 may be made opaque by irradiating the relevant portion with laser light. Also, the surface of the film substrate 20 may be roughened like frosted glass by forming a large number of minute irregularities or scratches on the surface.

[0059] 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.

[0060] In addition, in the second label piece 6 according to the above embodiment, the background pattern printed layers 22, 24 and the opaque printed layer 23 are formed on the front side of the film substrate 20, but some or all of these printed layers may be formed on the back side of the film substrate 20. In addition, when the film substrate 20 has a laminate structure, some or all of these printed layers may be formed between layers of the film substrate 20. In addition, the background pattern printed layers 22, 24 and the opaque printed layer 23 may be printed on the label waste 25 around the second label piece 6.

[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, all of the label waste is removed during production, and in the above-mentioned Examples 2 and 3, all of the label waste 25 is left behind, but it is also possible to remove a portion of the label waste 25 during production and leave a portion (for example, only the periphery of the label pieces 5 and 6).
