[Figure 2] 1 is a perspective view showing a state in which a bundle of copy papers is wrapped in wrapping paper according to a first embodiment. FIG. [Figure 3] FIG. 10 is a plan view showing the configuration of a packaging sheet according to a second embodiment. [Figure 4] FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing a state in which a bundle of copy papers is wrapped in wrapping paper according to a second embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] A packaging paper according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The packaging paper according to the first embodiment is a rectangular paper for packaging a stack of copy paper. In this embodiment, a packaging paper for packaging a stack of 500 A4-sized (210 x 297 mm) copy paper will be described as an example. Fig. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of the surface of the packaging paper according to the first embodiment, and Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing the state in which the packaging paper according to the first embodiment has been used to wrap a stack of copy paper.

[0011] After wrapping, the length L of the wrapping paper 2 in the longitudinal direction DL, which is the direction of the long side of the copy paper, is 371 to 373 mm. Of the lengths L, starting from the top of the paper in Fig. 1, length L1 corresponds to 0.5 to 1 times the thickness of the stack of copy paper and is 37 to 38 mm in this embodiment, length L2 corresponds to the length in the longitudinal direction of the copy paper and is 297 mm in this embodiment, and length L3 corresponds to 0.5 to 1 times the thickness of the stack of copy paper and is 37 to 38 mm in this embodiment.

[0012] After packaging, the width D of the wrapping paper 2, which is the width direction DW of the copy paper along its short side, is 550 mm. From the left side of the paper in Fig. 1, the widths D are as follows: width D1 corresponds to half the length of the copy paper along its short side and is 105 mm in this embodiment; width D2 corresponds to the thickness of the stack of copy paper and is 45 mm in this embodiment; width D3 corresponds to the length of the copy paper along its short side and is 210 mm in this embodiment; width D4 corresponds to the thickness of the stack of copy paper and is 45 mm in this embodiment; and width D5 corresponds to half the length of the copy paper along its short side plus the width (40 mm) of adhesive region 6 (described below) and is 145 mm in this embodiment.

[0013] On the packaging paper 2, a plurality of two-dimensional codes 4 are printed at intervals of length G1 (74 to 75 mm in this embodiment) in the length direction DL and width G2 (105 mm in this embodiment) in an area A that will become surface P (the unopenable surface of the two widest surfaces of a hexahedron) shown in FIG. 2 after packaging, and in its neighboring area. Furthermore, for example, two-dimensional codes 4a and 4b shown in FIG. 1, as well as two-dimensional codes 4a and 4c, are printed in a staggered pattern as shown in FIG. 1. That is, two-dimensional code 4 (e.g., two-dimensional code 4a) is printed at a predetermined distance (<width G2) in the width direction DW relative to two-dimensional code 4 (e.g., two-dimensional code 4b or 4c) that is separated by length G1 in the length direction DL.

[0014] The two-dimensional code 4 records information about online shopping sites selling stationery and other related products that coexist with copy paper, product sites and product catalogs introducing consumables such as toner used in printers, copiers, and multifunction devices, the websites of manufacturers that produce copy paper and copy paper, and online shopping sites selling other products handled by the manufacturers. The two-dimensional code 4 may also be printed in an area other than area A and its vicinity, for example, the entire area. While one side of the rectangular two-dimensional code 4 is printed parallel to the length direction DL in Figures 1 and 2, it may also be printed at an angle relative to the length direction DL.

[0015] When packaging a stack of copy paper, packaging paper 2 is placed with its back side facing up, the stack of copy paper to be packaged is placed in area A shown in Figure 1, mountain folds 8a, 8b, 8c, and 8d shown by dotted lines are made, adhesive is applied to the back of adhesive area 6 shown by diagonal lines in Figure 1, areas B and C which will become the bottom surface after packaging are glued in the overlapping area, valley folds 12a to 12h shown by dashed lines are made, mountain folds 14a to 14h shown by dotted lines are made, mountain folds are made, mountain folds 10a and 10b shown by dotted lines are made, and the overlapping areas which will become face F and back surface shown in Figure 2 after packaging are glued together, thereby packaging the stack of copy paper (see Figure 2).

[0016] Next, a packaging paper manufacturing method for manufacturing packaging paper 2 according to the first embodiment using a packaging paper manufacturing apparatus (rotary printing press) for manufacturing packaging paper will be described. First, a roll of base paper for the packaging paper 2 is prepared. The width of the base paper is twice the width D of the packaging paper 2. When the base paper is set in the packaging paper manufacturing apparatus, a control unit that controls each unit of the packaging paper manufacturing apparatus pulls out the rolled base paper and prints a two-dimensional code 4 by pressing a printing plate onto a plate cylinder wrapped around it and rotating it in a predetermined area on the surface of the base paper (the area of ​​the base paper that will become area A shown in FIG. 1 and its neighboring area after cutting). The two-dimensional codes 4 are printed at intervals of 74 to 75 mm along the length of the base paper and at intervals of 105 mm along the width of the base paper, and the two-dimensional codes 4 are printed at positions offset in the width direction of the base paper, with the two-dimensional codes 4 spaced 74 to 75 mm apart along the length of the base paper. The control unit then dries the base paper and cuts it into two equal halves, each cut into a length of 371 to 373 mm.

[0017] According to the packaging paper 2 and the method for manufacturing the packaging paper according to the first embodiment, the two-dimensional code 4 is printed in an easily visible position. Furthermore, because the two-dimensional codes 4 are printed at 74-75 mm intervals along the length of the packaging paper 2, even if the packaging paper 2 is misaligned in the length direction during its manufacturing process (regardless of the position in the length direction when it is cut), at least three complete, unbroken two-dimensional codes 4 will be printed in the length direction DL of the most widely visible surface (surface P shown in FIG. 2 ) after packaging. Furthermore, because the two-dimensional codes 4 are printed at 105 mm intervals along the width of the packaging paper 2, even if the packaging paper 2 is misaligned in the width direction during its manufacturing process, at least one complete, unbroken two-dimensional code 4 will be printed in the width direction DW of the most widely visible surface (surface P shown in FIG. 2 ) after packaging. Furthermore, because the multiple two-dimensional codes 4 are printed in a staggered pattern, packaging paper that is not only practical but also has excellent design can be provided.

[0018] In the above-described first embodiment, an example was given in which the two-dimensional code 4 is printed at intervals of 105 mm in the width direction DW of the packaging paper 2, but the two-dimensional code 4 may also be printed at intervals of 10 to 200 mm in the width direction DW of the packaging paper 2, which is the short side direction of the copy paper after packaging.

[0019] Next, a packaging paper according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The packaging paper according to the second embodiment is a rectangular packaging paper for packaging a stack of 500 B5-sized (182 x 257 mm) copy paper sheets. Note that the same components of the packaging paper according to the second embodiment as those of the packaging paper 2 shown in Figs. 1 and 2 are designated by the same reference numerals, and illustration and description thereof will be omitted. Furthermore, although the size of the packaging paper according to the second embodiment differs from that of the packaging paper 2 according to the first embodiment (see Figs. 1 and 2), the same reference numerals as those assigned to the packaging paper 2 shown in Figs. 1 and 2 will be used to describe the size of the packaging paper according to the second embodiment. Furthermore, the manufacturing method of the packaging paper according to the second embodiment is the same as that of the packaging paper 2 according to the first embodiment, and therefore its description will be omitted. Fig. 3 is a diagram showing the configuration of the surface of the packaging paper according to the second embodiment, and Fig. 4 is a perspective view showing a stack of copy paper sheets wrapped in the packaging paper according to the second embodiment.

[0020] After wrapping, the length L of the wrapping paper 22 in the longitudinal direction DL, which is the direction of the long side of the copy paper, is 341 to 343 mm. Of the lengths L, from the top of the paper in Fig. 3, length L1 corresponds to 0.5 to 1 times the thickness of the stack of copy paper and is 42 to 43 mm in this embodiment, length L2 corresponds to the length in the long side direction of the copy paper and is 257 mm in this embodiment, and length L3 corresponds to 0.5 to 1 times the thickness of the stack of copy paper and is 42 to 43 mm in this embodiment.

[0021] After packaging, the width D of the wrapping paper 22, which is the width direction DW of the copy paper, is 484 mm. Of the widths D, from the left side of the paper in Fig. 3, width D1 corresponds to half the length of the copy paper in the width direction (91 mm in this embodiment), width D2 corresponds to the thickness of the stack of copy paper (45 mm in this embodiment), width D3 corresponds to the length of the copy paper in the width direction (182 mm in this embodiment), width D4 corresponds to the thickness of the stack of copy paper (45 mm in this embodiment), and width D5 corresponds to half the length of the copy paper in the width direction (30 mm) of the adhesive area 6 (described below), which is 121 mm in this embodiment.

[0022] On the packaging paper 22, a plurality of two-dimensional codes 4 are printed at intervals of length G1 (84 to 85 mm in this embodiment) in the length direction DL and width G2 (91 mm in this embodiment) in the width direction DW in an area A that will become the surface P shown in FIG. 4 after packaging and in its surrounding area. Furthermore, for example, two-dimensional codes 4a and 4b shown in FIG. 3, as well as two-dimensional codes 4a and 4c, are printed in a staggered pattern as shown in FIG. 3. That is, the two-dimensional code 4 (e.g., two-dimensional code 4a) is printed at a predetermined distance (< width G2) in the width direction DW relative to the two-dimensional code 4 (e.g., two-dimensional code 4b or 4c) that is separated by length G1 in the length direction DL. The two-dimensional code 4 according to the second embodiment may also be printed in an area other than area A and its surrounding area, for example, the entire area. Furthermore, although the two-dimensional code 4 is printed parallel to the length direction DL in FIGS. 3 and 4, it may also be printed at an angle relative to the length direction DL.

[0023] According to the packaging paper 22 and the method for manufacturing the packaging paper according to the second embodiment, the two-dimensional code 4 is printed in an easily visible position. Furthermore, because the two-dimensional codes 4 are printed at 84-85 mm intervals along the length of the packaging paper 2, even if the packaging paper 2 is misaligned in the length direction during its manufacturing process (regardless of the position at which it is cut in the length direction), at least two complete, unbroken two-dimensional codes 4 will be printed along the length of the most widely visible surface (surface P shown in FIG. 4 ) after packaging. Furthermore, because the two-dimensional codes 4 are printed at 91 mm intervals along the width of the packaging paper 2, even if the packaging paper 2 is misaligned in the width direction during its manufacturing process, at least one complete, unbroken two-dimensional code 4 will be printed along the width of the most widely visible surface (surface P shown in FIG. 4 ) after packaging. Furthermore, because the multiple two-dimensional codes 4 are printed in a staggered pattern, packaging paper that is not only practical but also has excellent design can be provided.

[0024] In the above-mentioned second embodiment, an example was given in which the two-dimensional code 4 is printed at intervals of 91 mm in the width direction DW of the packaging paper 22, but the two-dimensional code 4 may also be printed at intervals of 10 to 170 mm in the width direction DW of the packaging paper 22, which is the short side direction of the copy paper after packaging.

[0025] Furthermore, in the first embodiment, the wrapping papers 2 and 22 are described as being for packaging A4-sized copy paper, and in the second embodiment, B5-sized copy paper. However, the present invention can also be applied to wrapping papers for packaging copy paper of sizes other than A4 or B5 (A3, A5, B4, etc.), and the number of sheets of copy paper to be packaged can be adjusted appropriately depending on the sales format. Furthermore, in the first embodiment, the length L of the wrapping paper 2 in the length direction DL is 371 to 373 mm, and in the second embodiment, the length L of the wrapping paper 22 in the length direction DL is 341 to 343 mm. However, the length L of the wrapping paper in the length direction DL can be set appropriately depending on the size of the copy paper to be packaged and the thickness of the stack of copy paper, specifically within the range of 200 to 700 mm, preferably 210 to 500 mm.

[0026] In the first embodiment, six complete two-dimensional codes 4 are printed on surface P of packaging paper 2, and in the second embodiment, four complete two-dimensional codes 4 are printed on surface P of packaging paper 22. However, depending on the size of the copy paper to be wrapped, two to fifteen two-dimensional codes may be printed on the non-opening side of the two widest sides of the hexahedron. Furthermore, when the number of complete two-dimensional codes displayed on surface P is X, the two-dimensional codes are printed at intervals of 200 to 700 / (X+2) mm (X is a natural number between 2 and 15) along the length of the wrapping paper, depending on the size of the copy paper to be wrapped. Furthermore, depending on the size of the copy paper to be wrapped, the two-dimensional codes and the two-dimensional codes spaced 200 to 700 / (X+2) mm along the length of the wrapping paper are printed at positions offset across the width of the wrapping paper.

[0027] Furthermore, on the wrapping paper used to wrap A3 size copy paper, the two-dimensional codes are printed at intervals of 10 to 280 mm across the width of the wrapping paper, which is the direction of the short side of the copy paper after packaging.On the wrapping paper used to wrap B4 size copy paper, the two-dimensional codes are printed at intervals of 10 to 240 mm across the width of the wrapping paper, which is the direction of the short side of the copy paper after packaging.
