Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a package comprising a foldable substrate and a foldable sheet for holding the substrate. [Background technology]

[0002] In order to speed up printing, a package has been proposed that includes a plate-like member that holds the portion of the printing material to be printed flat, and that has an opening in the printing area of ​​the printing material (see, for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2020-152446 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] When printing on a shirt using a DTG (Direct to Garment) printer, which prints directly onto clothing, by using packaging with an opening in the printing area as described above, the packaging can be placed directly into the DTG printer.

[0005] However, when printing on both the front and back of a substrate, such as a shirt, after printing on one side is complete, the substrate must be turned over and reloaded into the printer. In particular, when using the above-mentioned packaged material, the substrate must be unpacked after printing is complete and then loaded into the printer again. This requires skill in loading the substrate into the printer.

[0006] In addition, since a drying process is also performed after printing on the substrate, the printing and drying processes are performed consecutively for each printing location.Furthermore, it is necessary to prepare the print data for the substrate every time the printing location is changed.

[0007] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a package that allows easy printing on both the front and back of a substrate. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] In one embodiment, the package comprises a foldable printed substrate and a foldable sheet that holds the printed substrate, wherein the printed substrate is folded from the back side to the front side at one end of the front surface of the printed substrate, and the sheet holds the printed substrate with the printed substrate folded over and a portion of the front surface and a portion of the back surface exposed. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] According to this aspect, printing can be easily performed on both the front and back of the printing substrate. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0011] Hereinafter, a package according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0012] FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a package 1 according to one embodiment.

[0013] FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the manufacturing method of the package 1.

[0014] 1 and 2 and Figures 3 to 5 and 7 described later, the up-down (front and back), front-rear, and left-right directions are examples for the sake of convenience of explanation, and for example, the up-down direction is the vertical direction, and the front-rear and left-right directions are the horizontal directions. The printing substrate 10 is turned over as appropriate, but the description will be given assuming that the front side of the printing substrate 10 is located on the upper side and the back side is located on the lower side.

[0015] 1 includes a foldable printing substrate 10 and a foldable sheet 20 that holds the printing substrate 10. The printing substrate 10 and the sheet 20 are preferably flexible so that they can be folded.

[0016] The printing substrate 10 is, for example, a shirt such as a T-shirt. The sheet 20 is, for example, cardboard such as a patterned paper. However, it is desirable that the printing substrate 10 has a shape symmetrical to the insertion portion 21, and is particularly a garment, but it is not limited to clothing and may be, for example, a tote bag. Furthermore, the sheet 20 may be made of other materials instead of paper, such as cloth or plastic.

[0017] 2(a) to 2(h), the various parts of the package 1 will be described while explaining a method for manufacturing the package 1. The printing substrate 10 is folded back from the back side to the front side at one end of the front side, and the sheet 20 holds the printing substrate 10 in a state where the printing substrate 10 is folded back and a part of the front side and a part of the back side of the printing substrate 10 are exposed. In the following explanation, an example will be described in which the printing substrate 10 has a first folded back portion 11, a second folded back portion 12, and a third folded back portion 13, and the sheet 20 has an inserted portion 21 and a base portion 22.

[0018] As shown in FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b), the first folded portion 11 is folded from the back side to the front side at one end (front end) in a first direction D1 (front-rear direction) parallel to the surface (top surface) of the printing substrate 10. The folding position of the first folded portion 11 may be a position at a specified length from the front end of the printing substrate 10, determined, for example, according to the size of the printing substrate 10. The folding of the first folded portion 11 may be performed manually by the user, for example, while measuring the distance from the front end of the printing substrate 10 with a ruler, or while the user places a member of a desired length on the printing substrate 10. However, the folding of the first folded portion 11 may also be performed automatically using a folding device or the like.

[0019] As shown in Figures 2(c) and (d), after the printing substrate 10 has been turned over, the second folded portion 12 is folded back, for example manually by the user, from the front side to the back side at the end side (right end side) in a second direction D2 (left-right direction) that is parallel to the front side of the printing substrate 10 and perpendicular to the first direction D1. The folding position of the second folded portion 12 is preferably the end in the second direction D2 of the round neck portion of the printing substrate 10. If the printing substrate 10 is a shirt, the sleeve portions may be further folded back so that the second folded portion 12 overlaps. Note that a portion of the first folded portion 11 located on the front side of the printing substrate 10 becomes the second folded portion 12, and thus a portion of the first folded portion 11 is again folded back to the back side of the printing substrate 10.

[0020] As shown in Figures 2(e) and (f), the inserted portion 21 of the sheet 20 is inserted in the first direction D1 from the other end (rear end) in the first direction D1 to just before the first folded portion 11, behind the surface of the printing substrate 10 and on the front side of the second folded portion 12 and the third folded portion 13 (the inserted portion 21 is shown by a dashed line in Figures 2(e) and (f)). It is desirable that the inserted portion 21 be close to the first folded portion 11 without overlapping with it, so that "just before the first folded portion 11" is a position 10 cm or less (preferably 5 cm or less) from the first folded portion 11. It is also desirable that the center of the inserted portion 21 in the second direction D2 (a central mark hole H3, described later) overlaps with the center of the round neck of the printing substrate 10 in the second direction D2. The user can confirm that the centers in the second direction D2 of the inserted portion 21 and the neck of the printing material 10 overlap by looking at the neck of the printing material 10 exposed from the central mark hole H3. Note that the inserted portion 21 may be inserted inside the neck portion of the printing material 10, but it is desirable to insert it behind the back surface of the printing material 10 and on the front side of the second folded portion 12 and the third folded portion 13.

[0021] The third folded portion 13 is provided symmetrically to the second folded portion 12. That is, the third folded portion 13 is folded back from the front side to the back side at the end side (left end side) in the second direction D2 (left-right direction). The folding position of the third folded portion 13 should also be the end in the second direction D2 of the round neck portion of the printing substrate 10. This means that the inserted portion 21 will be located on the front side of the third folded portion 13, as described above. Furthermore, like the second folded portion 12, when the printing substrate 10 is a shirt, the third folded portion 13 should also be folded back further at the sleeve portions so that the third folded portion 13 overlaps.

[0022] The second folded portion 12 and the third folded portion 13 may be folded back after the inserted portion 21 is placed on the back side of the printing substrate 10. Even in this case, the inserted portion 21 is inserted into the front side of the second folded portion 12 and the third folded portion 13. Furthermore, the third folded portion 13 may be folded back in the same manner as the second folded portion 12 before the inserted portion 21 is inserted.

[0023] 2(f) and 2(g), the base portion 22 is folded back, for example manually by the user, to the back side of the inserted portion 21 between the portion of the inserted portion 21 inserted into the printing substrate 10 and the base portion 22. That is, the base portion 22 is folded back to the back side of the inserted portion 21 and the printing substrate 10 at the other end side (rear end side) of the inserted portion 21 in the first direction D1. This base portion 22 is formed integrally with the inserted portion 21 and holds the printing substrate 10 located on the front side. The width of the base portion 22 in the second direction D2 should be equal to or greater than that of the inserted portion 21, and preferably wider than that of the inserted portion 21. The folded back portion of the inserted portion 21 should preferably have a valley fold line, a marker line, or the like.

[0024] 2(h), the printing material 10 and the sheet 20 are turned over. In this state, the package 1 is set on the stage 100 (see FIG. 4(a)) of the printing device.

[0025] The base portion 22 has a pair of double-sided marking holes H1, H2 that are provided on both sides of the printing substrate 10 in the second direction D2, separated by a gap of the same length, and that extend linearly in the first direction D1. These pair of double-sided marking holes H1, H2 are an example of double-sided marking portions that serve as marks for alignment in the second direction D2 with respect to the stage 100 shown in Figures 4(a) and 4(b), which will be described later. These double-sided marking portions are preferably double-sided marking holes H1, H2, but may also be other marking portions such as lines printed on the base portion 22 or marked with a marker pen, or cutouts or recesses provided on the base portion 22.

[0026] The sheet 20 also has a central marking hole H3 that is provided at least in the center of the inserted portion 21 in the second direction D2 and extends linearly in the first direction D1. As described above, this central marking hole H3 can be used to align the center of the inserted portion 21 in the second direction D2 with the center of the printing substrate 10 (the round neck of the printing substrate 10) in the second direction D2. The central marking hole H3 is an example of a central marking portion. While the central marking portion is preferably the central marking hole H3, it may also be another marking portion, such as a line printed on the sheet 20 or marked with a marker pen, or a cut or recess provided in the sheet 20.

[0027] FIG. 3 is a right side view for explaining whether or not there is a step on the surface of the printing substrate 10 in this embodiment (a) and a comparative example (b).

[0028] 3(a) and 3(b), the first folded portion 11 is folded back onto the front side of the printing substrate 10, and the second folded portion 12 is folded back onto the back side of the printing substrate 10. Note that, since a part of the first folded portion 11 is folded back onto the back side of the printing substrate 10 together with the second folded portion 12, the first folded portion 11 is also located on the back side of the printing substrate 10.

[0029] The comparative example shown in Fig. 3(b) is similar to the present embodiment shown in Fig. 3(a) except that the sheet 20 is not arranged, and the printing substrate 10 is folded back to form a first folded portion 11, a second folded portion 12, and a third folded portion 13. Therefore, a step is generated on the surface of the printing substrate 10 at the portion where the first folded portion 11 is folded back to the front side of the printing substrate 10 (portion circled by dashed lines).

[0030] 3(a), the inserted portion 21 is inserted into the printing material 10 up to just before the first folded portion 11, so that a step is unlikely to occur on the surface of the printing material 10 at the portion (broken circle portion) where the first folded portion 11 is folded back onto the front side of the printing material 10. In addition, by arranging the base portion 22 of the sheet 20, the back surface of the package 1 can be made flat, and steps on the back surface can be eliminated.

[0031] FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram for explaining how the package 1 is set in the printing device in this embodiment.

[0032] The stage 100 shown in Figures 4(a) and (b) is arranged to be horizontally movable between a printing position below the inkjet head of a printing device, such as a DTG printer, and a set position where the package 1 is set. The stage 100 has, for example, a rectangular mounting surface (top surface) in a plan view. The package 1 is preferably placed on the stage 100 so that the entire portion of the printing substrate 10 forward of the front end of the round neck portion is positioned on the stage 100. In this way, the rear end of the stage 100 is preferably aligned in the front-to-rear direction with the front end of the round neck portion of the printing substrate 10. In addition, the center ends of the marker holes H1 and H2 on both sides of the base portion 22 in the left-to-right direction are preferably aligned with the left and right ends of the stage 100.

[0033] 4(c), when the rectangular frame 200 is fitted onto the outer periphery of the stage 100, the front portion (including the first folded portion 11) of the surface of the printing substrate 10 is exposed on the front side, ahead of the front end of the round neck portion. This allows printing to be performed on the front and back surfaces (first folded portion 11) of the printing substrate 10 using the inkjet head described above or the like.

[0034] FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the front surface printing area P1 and the back surface printing area P2.

[0035] In this embodiment, the front printing area P1 (e.g., an image consisting of three types of triangular patterns) printed on the front surface of the printing substrate 10 shown in FIG. 5(a) and the back printing area P2 (e.g., an image consisting of the letters ABC) printed on the back surface (first folded portion 11) of the printing substrate 10 shown in FIG. 5(b) can be printed together on the front surface of the printing substrate 10 as shown in FIG. 5(c) because the first folded portion 11 is folded from the back surface to the front surface of the printing substrate 10. During this printing, the print content of the back printing area P2 is printed 180 degrees inverted as shown in FIGS. 5(b) and 5(c). The print content of the front printing area P1 and the back printing area P2 can be determined by, for example, selecting text such as the letters "ABC," illustrations such as patterns, photographs, etc., and selecting appropriate colors, etc., on the setting screen S shown in FIG. 8. The determined front printing area P1 and back printing area P2 are printed on the printing substrate 10, for example, by selecting the "Print" button on the setting screen S while the package 1 is set on the stage 100.

[0036] FIG. 6 is a table for explaining the dimensions of each part of the package 1 and the stage 100 in this embodiment, and FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the dimensions of each part.

[0037] 6 and 7(a), the width of the stage 100 in the left-right direction is "X," and the height (length) of the stage 100 in the front-back direction is "Y." These symbols "X" and "Y" are fixed values, and can be expressed, for example, by the relationship "X=Xa+2M" and the relationship "Y=Ya+Yb+Na+Nb+2M" using symbols described below.

[0038] As shown in Figures 6 and 7(b)-(d), the width of a shirt, which is an example of a printing substrate 10, is "A" (see Figure 7(b)), the width folding amount of the second folded portion 12 and the third folded portion 13 is "Aa" (see Figure 7(d)), the length is "B" (see Figure 7(b)), the height folding amount, which is the folding amount of the first folded portion 11, is "Ba" (see Figure 7(c)), and the shirt's crew neck height (depth) is "Bb" (see Figure 7(b)). The symbols "A" and "B" are fixed values, the symbols "Aa" and "Ba" are user-specified values, and the symbol "Bb" varies depending on the type of shirt, such as a crew neck or a V-neck, and therefore can be said to be shirt-dependent. The symbol "Ba" can be expressed as "Nb+Yb+M" using the symbols described below.

[0039] 6 and 7(f), the margins around the front and back printing areas P1 and P2 on the stage 100 are "M" in both the front-to-back and left-to-right directions. The front height (front-to-back length) of the unprintable area at the front end of the front surface of the printing substrate 10 is "Na", the back height (front-to-back length) of the unprintable area at the front end of the back surface (first folded portion 11) of the printing substrate 10 is "Nb", the common width of the front and back surfaces in the left-to-right direction (width direction) of the front printing area P1 and the back printing area P2 is "Xa", the height (front-to-back length) of the front printing area P1 is "Ya", and the height (front-to-back length) of the back printing area P2 is "Yb". The symbols "M", "Na", and "Nb" are fixed values. The symbol "Xa" can be expressed as "A-2Aa-2M" if "A-2Aa-2M" is greater than 0 and less than or equal to "X-2M", but if "A-2Aa-2M" exceeds "X-2M", it becomes "X-2M". The symbol "Ya" can be expressed as "Y-Ba-Na-M", and the symbol "Yb" can be expressed as "Ba-M-Nb". These symbols "Ya" and "Yb" have values ​​greater than 0, so if they are less than 0, they will not be accepted when determining the dimensions of the pattern (sheet 20) and the folding positions of each part in advance, and the determined values ​​will need to be changed.

[0040] As shown in Figures 6 and 7(e), a template, which is an example of the sheet 20, has the width of the inserted portion 21 in the left-right direction as "Ca", the width of the base portion 22 in the left-right direction as "Cb", the width of the side mark holes H1 and H2 in the left-right direction as "Cc", the position (length) of the central mark hole H3 from each of the left and right ends of the inserted portion 21 as "Cd", the length of the inserted portion 21 in the front-to-back direction as "Da", the length of the base portion 22 in the front-to-back direction as "Db", the length of the side mark holes H1 and H2 in the front-to-back direction as "Dc", and the position (length) of the central mark hole H3 from each of the left and right ends of the inserted portion 21 as "Dc". The length at the position indicated by the arrows is "Dd", the folding height (length) of the pattern of the portion of the inserted portion 21 that extends further in the front-to-back direction than the surface printing area P1 and is folded back is "De", the outer margins in the left and right directions of the base portion 22 of the pattern, for example, relative to the mark holes H1 and H2 on both sides are "Ea", the margins in the front-to-back direction are "Eb" (which can take different values ​​in the front and back as shown in Figure 7(e) as being different lengths in the front and back), the margins of the mark holes H1 and H2 on both sides (the length set longer than the stage 100) are "Ec", and the thickness of the pattern is "F". The symbol "Ca" is defined as "Ca = Xa" and can be expressed as "A-2Aa-2M." The symbol "Cb" can be expressed as "X+2Cc+2Ea." The symbol "Cd" can be expressed as "Cb / 2." The symbol "Da" can be expressed as "Ya+De" because the inserted portion 21 is folded back. The symbol "Db" can be expressed as "Dc+2Eb" using the variable value "Eb," and satisfies Db>B-Ba. The symbols "Cc," "Dc," "Dd," and "De" are fixed values. The symbol "F" depends on the thickness of the substrate 10 to eliminate thickness differences caused by folding back the first folded portion 11. The thickness of the template (F) should be the same as or close to the thickness of the substrate 10 (50% to 150% of the thickness of the substrate 10). The left and right margins of the symbol "Ea" and the front and back margins of the symbol "Eb" can have different values ​​and depend on the paper pattern. The margin of the symbol "Ec" is a fixed value that allows the printing start position to be adjusted. Note that the marking holes H1 and H2 on both sides of the symbol "Cc" are preferably used as guides for clamping the frame 200 so that the printing substrate 10 does not move, but as mentioned above, they do not have to be provided as holes.The symbol "Dc" can be expressed as "Y+Ec." The center of the central mark hole H3 of the symbol "Dd" in the front-to-rear direction should be located at the boundary between the inserted portion 21 and the base portion 22, that is, at a distance of the symbol "Da" from the front end of the inserted portion 21.

[0041] In the above description, an example has been described in which the printed material 10 has the first folded portion 11, the second folded portion 12, and the third folded portion 13, and the sheet 20 has the inserted portion 21 and the base portion 22. However, the package 1 may be any package in which the printed material 10 is folded from the back side to the front side at one end of the front surface, and the sheet 20 holds the printed material 10 with the printed material 10 folded back so that a portion of the front surface and a portion of the back surface of the printed material 10 are exposed.

[0042] Therefore, any configuration can be adopted, such as omitting the second folded portion 12 and the third folded portion 13, or the inserted portion 21 and base portion 22 of the sheet 20. For example, the sheet 20 may form a box (e.g., a rectangular parallelepiped or frame-shaped) with an opening that exposes a portion of the front surface (front surface printing area P1) and a portion of the back surface (back surface printing area P2) of the substrate 10. In this case, the box-forming sheet 20 may hold the substrate 10 on its back surface when the substrate 10 is placed on it, or may hold the substrate 10 by sandwiching it from above and below around the opening. Note that if the second folded portion 12 and the third folded portion 13 are omitted (e.g., a substrate 10 without sleeves), the back surface of the substrate 10 will be flat even if the base portion 22 is omitted.

[0043] In the present embodiment described above, the package 1 comprises a foldable printing substrate 10 and a foldable sheet 20 that holds the printing substrate 10. The printing substrate 10 is folded back from the back side to the front side at one end of the front side of the printing substrate 10, and the sheet 20 holds the printing substrate 10 in a state where the printing substrate 10 is folded back and a part of the front side and a part of the back side are exposed.

[0044] This allows printing to be performed simultaneously on both the front and back sides (first folded portion 11) of the printing substrate 10 simply by setting the package 1 on the printing device (e.g., stage 100). Therefore, compared to a mode in which printing and drying is performed on one side of the printing substrate 10, the printing substrate 10 is turned over, the printing substrate 10 is set on the stage 100 again, and then the back side of the printing substrate 10 is printed and dried, it is possible to omit the second printing and drying, the second setting of the printing substrate 10 on the stage 100, and the preparation of print data for the second time. Therefore, according to this embodiment, printing can be easily performed on both the front and back sides of the printing substrate 10. Furthermore, when printing on the front and back sides in two separate steps, positional errors are likely to occur during the setting stage of the front and back sides. In comparison, the present invention significantly improves the accuracy of the printing position on the front and back sides.

[0045] In this embodiment, the printing substrate 10 has a first folded portion 11 folded back from the back side to the front side at one end (front end) in a first direction D1 (front-rear direction) parallel to the surface of the printing substrate 10, and a second folded portion 12 and a third folded portion 13 folded back from the front side to the back side at both end sides in a second direction D2 (left-right direction) parallel to the surface of the printing substrate 10 and perpendicular to the first direction D1. The sheet 20 has an inserted portion 21 inserted in the first direction D1 from the other end (rear end) in the first direction D1 to just before the first folded portion 11, on the back side of the surface of the printing substrate 10 and on the front sides of the second folded portion 12 and the third folded portion 13, and a base portion 22 formed integrally with the inserted portion 21, folded back at the other end (rear end) of the inserted portion 21 in the first direction D1 to the back side of the inserted portion 21 and holding the printing substrate 10.

[0046] As a result, the inserted portion 21 is inserted into the printing substrate 10 up to just before the first folded portion 11, so that a step is unlikely to occur on the surface of the printing substrate 10 at the portion where the first folded portion 11 is folded back to the front side of the printing substrate 10 (the portion circled by dashed lines in FIG. 3(a)). In addition, by arranging the base portion 22 of the sheet 20, the back surface of the package 1 can be made flat, eliminating any step on the back surface. Therefore, by keeping the distance between the printing means, such as the inkjet head, and the printing substrate 10 close to a constant value, printing can be performed with high precision.

[0047] In addition, in this embodiment, the base portion 22 has a pair of marker portions (e.g., marker holes H1, H2) on both sides of the substrate 10 in the second direction D2, spaced apart by a gap of the same length and extending linearly in the first direction D1.

[0048] This makes it easier to adjust the position of the package 1 in the second direction D2 relative to the two sides extending in the first direction D1 of the stage 100 when setting the package 1 on the stage 100, using the marking holes H1 and H2 on both sides (or lines, cuts, recesses, etc. printed or marked with a marker pen) provided at equal intervals from the printing substrate 10 as guides. Therefore, printing on both the front and back of the printing substrate 10 can be performed more easily.

[0049] In this embodiment, the pair of both-side marking portions are a pair of both-side marking holes H1, H2 provided in the base portion 22.

[0050] This allows the user to adjust the position of the package 1 in the second direction D2 relative to the two sides extending in the first direction D1 of the stage 100 while looking through the marker holes H1, H2 on both sides into the stage 100 below the base portion 22. This makes it even easier to print on both the front and back of the printing substrate 10.

[0051] In this embodiment, the sheet 20 has at least a central mark portion (for example, a central mark hole H3) that is provided in the center of the inserted portion 21 in the second direction D2 and extends linearly in the first direction D1.

[0052] As a result, when inserting the inserted portion 21 into the printing substrate 10, the central mark portion and the printing substrate 10 (for example, the center of the neck) can be aligned in the second direction D2 (left and right direction) using the central mark hole H3 (or a line, cut, recess, or the like printed or made with a marker pen) as a guide. Therefore, printing on both the front and back of the printing substrate 10 can be performed more easily.

[0053] In this embodiment, the central mark portion provided at least in the center of the inserted portion 21 in the second direction D2 and extending linearly in the first direction D1 is a central mark hole H3 provided in the sheet 20.

[0054] This allows the user to align the central mark hole H3 with the printing material 10 (for example, the center of the neck) in the second direction D2 (left-right direction) while looking into the central mark hole H3. Therefore, printing on both the front and back of the printing material 10 can be performed even more easily.

[0055] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and the components can be modified and embodied in practice without departing from the spirit of the invention. Furthermore, various inventions can be formed by appropriately combining multiple components disclosed in the above-described embodiments. For example, all components shown in the embodiments may be appropriately combined. Naturally, various modifications and applications are possible without departing from the spirit of the invention. Below, a portion of the invention described in the specification and drawings of this application is additionally noted.
