Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a delivery slip.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, a delivery slip that is attached to a delivered item for delivering the item has been used. In such a delivery slip, a so-called invoice that is attached to the delivered item has a separating portion detachably connected, and after separating the separating portion, it is known to be attached to the delivered item (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Patent Document 1

[0007] In the present invention configured as described above, when information is entered in the information entry field provided in the copying area of ​​the upper substrate, the entered information is copied to the intermediate sheet portion by the color-developing agent layer and the color-developing agent layer. When the copying area of ​​the upper substrate is separated from the non-copying area by the first separation line and peeled off from the middle substrate, the information entered in the information entry field is held in both the copying area of ​​the upper substrate and the area of ​​the middle substrate facing the copying area. Subsequently, when the area of ​​the middle substrate facing the copying area is separated via the second separation line, the middle substrate can be attached to a substrate such as a delivery object by the adhesive layer, and the information entered in the information entry field can be held in both the copying area of ​​the upper substrate and the area of ​​the middle substrate facing the copying area, which have been separated from the substrate. By comparing these two pieces of information, it is possible to determine whether the information entered in the information entry field has been tampered with. Furthermore, even if information is entered in the information entry area provided in the non-copying area of ​​the upper substrate, the presence of an adhesive layer between the upper sheet and the intermediate sheet in the area opposite the non-copying area makes it difficult for the entered information to be copied to the intermediate sheet, even if the color-developing layer and the color-developing layer are laminated in the area opposite the non-copying area.

[0008] Furthermore, the lower substrate is of a size that includes the middle substrate. The adhesive layer is laminated over the entire lower surface of the intermediate substrate. The second separation line may be configured to penetrate the intermediate sheet portion and the lower sheet portion.

[0009] In this configuration, so-called adhesive paper, which consists of an intermediate sheet and a lower sheet that are bonded together, can be used, making manufacturing easier. Furthermore, because the second separation line penetrates both the intermediate sheet and the lower sheet, even if the lower substrate is large enough to include the intermediate substrate, the second separation line can separate the area of ​​the lower sheet that is opposite the non-copying area, allowing it to be attached to the substrate.

[0010] Alternatively, the lower sheet portion may be configured to have a third cutting line formed on the side of the second cutting line that faces the non-copying area, and which has a structure that makes it easier to cut than the second cutting line.

[0011] In this configuration, a third cutting line is formed on the lower sheet portion on the side of the lower sheet portion facing the non-copy area, and has a structure that is easier to cut than the second cutting line. This prevents the intermediate sheet portion from being unintentionally separated together with the lower sheet portion by the second cutting line, while allowing the lower base material portion facing the non-copy area to be easily separated via the third cutting line and peeled off from the intermediate base material, exposing the adhesive layer for attachment to the object to be delivered or the like.

[0012] Alternatively, the surface on which the color-developing agent layer of the upper substrate is laminated may be attached to the surface on which the color developer layer of the middle substrate is laminated in at least a portion of the edge of the copying area that is not the boundary with the non-copying area.

[0013] In this configuration, the copy area of ​​the upper substrate and the area of ​​the middle substrate facing the copy area are less likely to peel off unintentionally, thus avoiding the difficulty in handling the material. In particular, when transporting a delivery slip within the printer in the direction in which the copy area and the non-copy area are connected, it is possible to prevent the upper substrate from curling up from the edge of the copy area in the direction in which it connects to the non-copy area. [Effects of the Invention]

[0014] According to the present invention, it is possible to make it difficult to tamper with the information that is entered.

[0015] In addition, in a case where the lower base material has a size that includes the middle base material, the adhesive layer is laminated on the entire lower surface of the middle base material, and the second separation line penetrates through the intermediate sheet portion and the lower sheet portion, a so-called tack paper formed by adhering the intermediate sheet portion and the lower sheet portion can be used, which facilitates manufacturing. Also, since the second separation line penetrates through the intermediate sheet portion and the lower sheet portion, even if the lower base material has a size that includes the middle base material, the area of the lower sheet portion that faces the non-copying region can be separated by the second separation line, and it can be adhered to the adherent body.

[0016] In addition, in a case where the lower sheet portion has a third separation line formed on the region side facing the non-copying region rather than the second separation line and having a structure that is easier to separate than the second separation line, by forming the third separation line having a structure that is easier to separate than the second separation line on the region side of the lower sheet portion that faces the non-copying region rather than the second separation line, while avoiding the situation where the intermediate sheet portion is inadvertently separated together with the lower sheet portion by the second separation line, the region side of the lower base material that faces the non-copying region through the third separation line can be easily separated and peeled off from the middle base material, and the adhesive layer for adhering to an adherent body such as a delivery item can be exposed.

[0017] In addition, in a case where the surface on which the color former layer of the upper base material is laminated is adhered to at least a part of the region along the side edge of the copying region other than the boundary with the non-copying region on the surface of the middle base material on which the developer layer is laminated, it is possible to avoid the situation where the copying region of the upper base material and the region facing the copying region of the middle base material are inadvertently difficult to peel off and become difficult to handle.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0019] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0020] (First Embodiment) 〈Configuration of the Delivery Slip〉 FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the first embodiment of the delivery slip of the present invention, where (a) is a top view and (b) is a cross-sectional view taken along the line A-A shown in (a). FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the configuration on the upper surface side of the middle base material 70 shown in FIG. 1.

[0021] As shown in Figure 1, this embodiment is a delivery slip 1 constructed by laminating an upper base material 10, a color-developing layer 20, a desensitizing layer 91, an adhesive layer 80, a desensitizing layer 92, a color developer layer 50, a middle base material 70, an adhesive layer 30, a release agent layer 40, and a lower base material 60 in this order. The upper sheet portion 1a is formed from the upper base material 10 and the color-developing layer 20, the intermediate sheet portion 1c is formed from the color developer layer 50, the middle base material 70, and the adhesive layer 30, and the lower sheet portion 1b is formed from the release agent layer 40 and the lower base material 60.

[0022] The upper base material 10 is constructed by connecting a copying area 10a and a non-copying area 10b. A slit 13 is formed at the boundary between the copying area 10a and the non-copying area 10b, and the copying area 10a and the non-copying area 10b are connected via the slit 13. The slit 13 penetrates the upper sheet portion 1a. The slit 13 is an example of the first separation line in the present invention.

[0023] The non-copyable area 10b is provided with information entry fields 11a to 11f, and displays barcode information 12a and a management number 12b. Each of the information entry fields 11a to 11f is an area for entering information to manage the delivery of goods using the delivery slip 1. For example, information entry field 11a is for entering recipient information such as the address, name, and company name of the recipient of the goods. Information entry field 11b is for entering consignor information such as the address, name, and company name of the sender of the goods. Information entry field 11c is for entering the name of the goods to be delivered. Information entry field 11d is for entering the desired delivery date. Information entry field 11e is for entering the desired time slot for delivery. Information entry field 11f is for entering the size of the goods to be delivered. The barcode information 12a and management number 12b are linked to each other and are used to manage the delivery of the goods.

[0024] The copy area 10a is provided with information entry fields 11g to 11i, and the management number 12c is displayed. The shipping fee for the delivered item is entered in information entry field 11h. Special notes regarding the delivery of the delivered item are entered in information entry fields 11g and 11i. The size of the delivered item may also be entered in the copy area 10a. The management number 12c is for managing the delivery of the delivered item and is linked to the barcode information 12a and management number 12b. The same barcode information as barcode information 12a may also be displayed in the copy area 10a.

[0025] As shown in Figure 1(b), a color-developing agent layer 20 is laminated on the lower surface of the upper substrate 10 by applying a color-developing agent to its entire surface. As the color-developing agent constituting the color-developing agent layer 20, known substances can be used, for example, colorless or pale electron-donating color-developing organic compounds such as triphenylmethane phthalides, leucoauramines, spiropyrans, fluoranes, etc.

[0026] On the side of the colorant layer 20 opposite to the upper substrate 10, a desensitizing layer 91 is laminated in the non-copying area 10b and the area of ​​the copying area 10a that is aligned with the non-copying area 10b, with printing ink or the like functioning as a desensitizing ink.

[0027] The intermediate substrate 70 is positioned opposite the upper substrate 10 such that the length in the direction connecting the copy area 10a and the non-copy area 10b of the upper substrate 10 is longer than that of the upper substrate 10, and the edge on the non-copy area 10b side aligns with the edge of the upper substrate 10. As a result, the intermediate substrate 70 comprises an area facing the copy area 10a and an area facing the non-copy area 10b, and has a protruding portion 71 that is exposed from the upper substrate 10 on the side facing the copy area 10a. The protruding portion 71 of the intermediate substrate 70 displays a management number 12d, which is linked to barcode information 12a and management number 12b and is used to manage the delivery of the delivered goods.

[0028] As shown in Figure 1(b), a developer layer 50 is laminated on the upper surface of the intermediate substrate 70 by applying a developer to the entire area facing the upper substrate 10. The developer constituting the developer layer 50 develops color when mixed with the colorant constituting the colorant layer 20, and is usually a compound having a phenolic hydroxyl group, such as paraphenylphenol or zinc 3,5-dibutylsalicylate. As a result, the developer layer 50 has a copying function in conjunction with the colorant layer 20. Alternatively, a printed layer may be laminated on the developer layer 50 by printing, and advertisements or the like may be displayed.

[0029] Furthermore, on the developer layer 50, a desensitizing layer 92 is laminated in the region opposite to the desensitizing layer 91, in which printing ink or the like functions as a desensitizing ink, similar to the desensitizing layer 91.

[0030] Furthermore, an adhesive layer 80 is laminated on the color developer layer 50. As shown in Figures 1(b) and 2, the adhesive layer 80 is laminated over the entire surface of the region facing the non-copying region 10b, but has a non-adhesive portion 81 at one corner where the adhesive layer 80 is not laminated. Also, in the region facing the copying region 10a, the adhesive layer 80 is laminated in a narrow frame shape around the entire periphery, but has a non-adhesive portion 82 at one corner where the adhesive layer 80 is not laminated. The adhesive layer 80 adheres the upper substrate 10 and the middle substrate 70 in a peelable manner. For example, a varnish layer may be laminated on the desensitizing layer 91 and this varnish layer may be used to create a peelable configuration, or an adhesive may be applied in a dot pattern to create a peelable configuration. Here, the adhesive layer 80 is laminated over the entire surface excluding the non-adhesive portion 81 in the region facing the non-copy region 10b, while in the region facing the copy region 10a, it is laminated in a narrow frame shape around the entire circumference of the periphery, excluding the non-adhesive portion 82. Therefore, the configuration of the adhesive layer 80 for separating the upper substrate 10 and the middle substrate 70 may differ between the region facing the non-copy region 10b and the region facing the copy region 10a. For example, in the region facing the non-copy region 10b, the adhesive strength is increased overall because the adhesive layer is laminated over the entire surface excluding the non-adhesive portion 81, so a varnish layer is laminated on the desensitizing layer 91. On the other hand, in the region facing the copy region 10a, the adhesive strength is not as strong because the adhesive layer is laminated in a narrow frame shape around the entire circumference of the periphery, excluding the non-adhesive portion 82, so it may be constructed with adhesive only without a varnish layer. With this configuration, the adhesive strength between the upper substrate 10 and the middle substrate 70 can be made stronger at the periphery of the region facing the copying region 10a than at the adhesive strength between the upper substrate 10 and the middle substrate 70 than at the adhesive strength between the non-copying region 10b. Thus, the configuration of the adhesive layer 80 may be different for the region facing the non-copying region 10b and the region facing the copying region 10a. Furthermore, in the region facing the non-copying region 10b, the adhesive strength may be different between the periphery and the region surrounded by the periphery. For example, by making the dot density different, the adhesive strength of the periphery can be made stronger than the adhesive strength of the region surrounded by the periphery, thereby preventing the non-copying region 10b from unintentionally peeling off and falling away from the intermediate sheet portion 1c.Furthermore, in the region opposite the copying area 10a, although the adhesive layer 80 is laminated in a narrow frame shape around the entire periphery, there is a non-adhesive portion 82 at one corner where the adhesive layer 80 is not laminated. This allows air trapped between the upper sheet portion 1a and the intermediate sheet portion 1c to be released from the non-adhesive portion 82 after the upper sheet portion 1a and the intermediate sheet portion 1c have been laminated and bonded together.

[0031] As a result, the non-copying region 10b and the narrow, band-shaped region of the copying region 10a that runs along the non-copying region 10b on the surface where the color-developing layer 20 of the upper substrate 10 is laminated are peelably attached by the adhesive layer 80 to the surface where the color developer layer 50 of the middle substrate 70 is laminated.

[0032] As shown in Figure 1(b), an adhesive layer 30 is laminated on the lower surface of the base material 70 by applying an adhesive to its entire surface.

[0033] Furthermore, perforations 14 are formed in the intermediate base material 70 in a region facing the copying area 10a, adjacent to and parallel to the slit 13. The perforations 14 are an example of a second separation line in the present invention, and penetrate the intermediate sheet portion 1c and the lower sheet portion 1b.

[0034] The lower base material 60 has the same external shape as the middle base material 70 and is positioned opposite the middle base material 70 such that its four peripheries overlap. As a result, the lower base material 60 comprises a region facing the copying area 10a and a region facing the non-copying area 10b, and also has a protruding portion 71 that extends from the upper base material 10, similar to the middle base material 70. In other words, the lower base material 60 is the same size as the middle base material 70.

[0035] As shown in Figure 1(b), a release agent layer 40 is laminated on the upper surface of the lower substrate 60 by applying silicone to its entire surface. Note that the release agent layer 40 does not need to be laminated in the copying area 10a, as long as it is laminated in the area facing the non-copying area 10b. However, when using tack paper as the lower sheet portion 1b and the intermediate sheet portion 1c as described later, it is easier to manufacture if the release agent layer 40 is laminated on the entire upper surface of the lower substrate 60.

[0036] A slit 15 is formed in the lower substrate 60 parallel to the perforations 14, along the perforations 14. The slit 15 is an example of a third separation line in the present invention and penetrates both the lower substrate 60 and the release agent layer 40. The slit 15 is formed on the side of the perforations 14 that faces the non-copying area 10b, and on the side of the slit 13 that faces the copying area 10a.

[0037] In this embodiment, a perforation 14 is given as an example of a second separation line, and a slit 15 is given as an example of a third separation line. As a result, the third separation line has a structure that is easier to separate than the second separation line. For this reason, the second separation line may be made entirely of perforations, and the third separation line may be made partly of slits and the rest of the line of perforations. Alternatively, the third separation line may be made entirely of slits, and the second separation line may be made partly of slits and the rest of the line of perforations.

[0038] The upper sheet portion 1a and the intermediate sheet portion 1c are peelably attached by an adhesive layer 80 to the non-copying area 10b of the upper base material 10 and to a narrow area extending around the entire periphery of the copying area 10a, while the lower sheet portion 1b and the intermediate sheet portion 1c are peelably attached by an adhesive layer 30 and a release layer 40.

[0039] The lower sheet portion 1b and the intermediate sheet portion 1c configured in this way can, for example, be made of adhesive paper in which the lower sheet portion 1b and the intermediate sheet portion 1c are laminated. Using adhesive paper makes manufacturing easier.

[0040] <How to use the shipping label> The following explains how to use delivery slip 1, which is configured as described above.

[0041] Figures 3 to 11 are diagrams illustrating how to use the delivery slip 1 shown in Figure 1.

[0042] The delivery slip 1 shown in Figure 1 is used to fill in the information necessary for the delivery of the goods.

[0043] First, information necessary for the delivery of the goods is entered in each of the information entry fields 11a to 11f provided in the non-copying area 10b of the upper base material 10. For example, as shown in Figure 3, the recipient information 2a, such as the address, name, and company name of the recipient of the goods, is entered in information entry field 11a. The consignor information 2b, such as the address, name, and company name of the sender of the goods, is entered in information entry field 11b. The item name of the goods is entered in information entry field 11c. The desired delivery date is entered in information entry field 11d. The desired time slot for delivery is entered in information entry field 11e. This information may be entered by the consignor who is sending the goods. Note that instead of entering information in all of the information entry fields 11a to 11e, some of the information may be pre-printed. In this case, the copy area 10a of the upper base material 10 is attached to the intermediate sheet portion 1c via the adhesive layer 80 over its entire circumference, excluding the non-adhesive portion 82. This prevents the upper base material 10 from curling up from the edge of the copy area 10a in the direction of connection with the non-copy area 10b when the delivery slip 1 is transported in the printer in the direction of connection between the copy area 10a and the non-copy area 10b. To prevent the upper base material 10 from curling up from the edge of the copy area 10a in the direction of connection with the non-copy area 10b when the delivery slip 1 is transported in the printer in the direction of connection between the copy area 10a and the non-copy area 10b, it is sufficient that the area along the edge of the copy area 10a opposite to the non-copy area 10b is attached to the intermediate sheet portion 1c. Furthermore, even if only the areas along both ends of the copy area 10a extending in the direction of connection with the non-copy area 10b are attached to the intermediate sheet portion 1c, it becomes less likely that the copy area 10a and the area of ​​the intermediate substrate 70 facing the copy area 10a will be unintentionally separated, thus avoiding the difficulty of handling. In other words, if the surface on which the color-developing agent layer 20 of the upper substrate 10 is laminated is attached to the surface on which the color developer layer 50 of the intermediate substrate 70 is laminated in at least a portion of the area along the edge of the copy area 10a other than the boundary with the non-copy area 10b, it becomes less likely that the copy area 10a of the upper substrate 10 and the area of ​​the intermediate substrate 70 facing the copy area 10a will be unintentionally separated, thus avoiding the difficulty of handling.

[0044] Furthermore, at the store that accepts the delivery of the item, the size of the item is measured and the size is entered in the information entry field 11f. The shipping fee for the item is determined according to the size of the item and the delivery address, and the shipping fee 2c is entered in the information entry field 11h, as shown in Figure 3. In addition, if there are any special notes regarding the delivery of the item, such as requiring refrigeration or handling with care, this may be entered in the information entry fields 11g and 11i.

[0045] In this copying area 10a, the intermediate substrate 70 faces the lower surface of the upper substrate 10. A color-developing layer 20 is laminated over the entire lower surface of the upper substrate 10, and a color-developing layer 50 is laminated over the upper surface of the intermediate substrate 70 that faces the upper substrate 10. As a result, when the shipping fee 2c for the delivered item is entered in the information entry field 11h, the pressure of the entry causes the color-developing agent constituting the color-developing layer 20 and the color-developing agent constituting the color-developing layer 50 to mix, and the shipping fee 2c entered in the information entry field 11h is copied to the area of ​​the intermediate substrate 70 that faces the information entry field 11h. On the other hand, information is also entered in the information entry fields 11a to 11f provided in the non-copying area 10b. However, in the area opposite the non-copying area 10b, an adhesive layer 80 is interposed between the color-developing layer 20 and the color-developing layer 50. Furthermore, a desensitizing layer 91 is laminated on the color-developing layer 50, and a desensitizing layer 92 is also laminated on the color-developing layer 50. As a result, the information entered in the information entry fields 11a to 11f is difficult to copy to the intermediate substrate 70. Therefore, the information entered in the information entry fields 11a to 11f is retained only in the non-copying area 10b of the upper substrate 10, and the information entered in the information entry fields 11a to 11f is not disseminated more than necessary. In particular, the recipient information 2a and shipper information 2b entered in the information entry field 11a are necessary for the delivery of the goods, but they are personal information and it is undesirable for them to be disseminated, so it is preferable to keep them retained only in the non-copying area 10b of the upper substrate 10. In order to produce this effect, it is not necessary to provide the desensitizing layers 91 and 92, or a configuration in which only one of the desensitizing layers 91 and 92 is provided is also possible. However, providing at least one of the desensitizing layers 91 and 92 makes it more difficult for the information written in the information entry fields 11a to 11f to be copied onto the base material 70.

[0046] After the delivery of the item is accepted in this manner, first, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, the copy area 10a of the upper base material 10 is separated from the intermediate sheet portion 1c by peeling it off, thereby separating it from the non-copy area 10b, the intermediate sheet portion 1c, and the lower sheet portion 1b. Then, for example, the copy area 10a is handed over to the requester who requested the delivery of the item.

[0047] Figure 4 is a view from the surface showing how the copying area 10a of the upper substrate 10 is separated, and Figure 5 is a cross-sectional view showing how the copying area 10a of the upper substrate 10 is separated.

[0048] In the upper substrate 10, the copy area 10a and the non-copy area 10b are connected via a slit 13 and are peelably attached to the intermediate sheet portion 1c by an adhesive layer 80. The copy area 10a is attached to the intermediate sheet portion 1c by an adhesive layer 80 that is laminated in a narrow frame shape around the entire circumference of the peripheral edge of the area of ​​the middle substrate 70 facing the copy area 10a. Therefore, the copy area 10a can be separated from the non-copy area 10b, the intermediate sheet portion 1c, and the lower sheet portion 1b by peeling it from the intermediate sheet portion 1c. In this case, by making the non-adhesive portion 82 the starting point for peeling, it becomes easier to peel the copy area 10a from the intermediate sheet portion 1c. As described above, since the copying area 10a of the upper substrate 10 is attached to the intermediate sheet portion 1c in a narrow area that extends around the entire periphery of the area of ​​the intermediate substrate 70 that faces the copying area 10a, the copying area 10a can be peeled off from the intermediate sheet portion 1c even if the adhesive strength between the upper substrate 10 and the intermediate sheet portion 1c is not particularly weak, without providing a varnish layer or the like as an adhesive layer 80. Perforations may be used instead of slits 13, but using slits 13 makes it easier to separate the copying area 10a from the non-copying area 10b.

[0049] Here, as shown in Figure 4, the shipping fee 2c entered in the information entry field 11h is copied as copied information 2d to the information copy field 11j opposite the information entry field 11h of the intermediate base material 70. As a result, the shipping fee 2c entered in the information entry field 11h is held in both the copy area 10a, which is separated from the intermediate sheet section 1c and the lower sheet section 1b, and the intermediate sheet section 1c, from which the copy area 10a is separated.

[0050] Next, as shown in Figure 6, a portion of the lower sheet portion 1b, which consists of the lower substrate 60 and the release agent layer 40, is peeled off from the intermediate sheet portion 1c. The lower sheet portion 1b has a slit 15 that penetrates the lower substrate 60 and the release agent layer 40. This slit 15 is located on the side of the perforation 14 that faces the non-copying area 10b, and on the side of the slit 13 that faces the copying area 10a. Therefore, the portion of the lower substrate 60 and the release agent layer 40 that faces the non-copying area 10b from the slit 15 is peeled off. At this time, by using the edge created by the slit 15 as the peeling edge, it becomes easier to peel off a portion of the lower substrate 60 and the release agent layer 40. Although perforations may be used instead of the slit 15, using the slit 15 makes it easier to separate the lower sheet portion 1b, and makes it easier to peel off the portion of the lower substrate 60 and the release agent layer 40 that faces the non-copying area 10b from the slit 15 from the intermediate sheet portion 1c.

[0051] In this way, by peeling off the lower substrate 60 and the release agent layer 40 from the area facing the non-copy area 10b relative to the slit 15, the adhesive layer 30 is exposed in the area facing the non-copy area 10b. Then, the exposed adhesive layer 30 can be used to attach the delivery slip 1 to the delivery item 3 as shown in Figure 7.

[0052] Figure 6 is a cross-sectional view showing how the lower substrate 60 and the release agent layer 40 are peeled off from the area facing the non-copy area 10b beyond the slit 15, and Figure 7 is an external perspective view showing the delivery slip 1 shown in Figure 1 attached to the delivery item 3.

[0053] In this way, after the delivery slip 1 is attached to the delivery item 3, the delivery item 3 is collected by the delivery company. At that time, as shown in Figures 8 and 9, the intermediate sheet portion 1c and the lower sheet portion 1b are torn via the perforations 14. Here, although the intermediate sheet portion 1c is attached to the delivery item 3 by the adhesive layer 30, the lower sheet portion 1b remains attached to the portion of the intermediate sheet portion 1c on the side of the intermediate sheet portion 1c facing the copy area 10a beyond the perforations 14. Therefore, by tearing it via the perforations 14, it can be separated from the delivery item 3 together with the lower sheet portion 1b. At that time, since the slit 15 is formed on the side of the intermediate sheet portion 1c facing the non-copy area 10b beyond the perforations 14, when the portion of the intermediate sheet portion 1c facing the copy area 10a beyond the perforations 14 is separated by the perforations 14, the adhesive layer 30 in the separated area is covered by the lower sheet portion 1b, which would make it difficult to handle, can be avoided. Furthermore, in the region between the perforations 14 and the slits 15 of the lower sheet portion 1b, narrowing the distance between the perforations 14 and the slits 15 makes it easier for the intermediate sheet portion 1c and the lower sheet portion 1b to detach when they are torn through the perforations 14. Depending on the degree of adhesive strength between the upper base material 10 and the middle base material 70, slits may be used instead of perforations 14. Therefore, if the adhesive strength between the upper base material 10 and the middle base material 70 is weak (e.g., the adhesive area is narrow), it is preferable to use perforations 14.

[0054] As described above, in this embodiment, perforations 14 are used as the second separation line, and slits 15 are used as the third separation line. In this way, the third separation line has a structure that is easier to separate than the second separation line, so that the intermediate sheet portion 1c is not unintentionally separated together with the lower sheet portion 1b by the second separation line, while the area of ​​the lower base material 60 facing the non-copy area 10b can be easily separated from the intermediate base material 70 via the third separation line, exposing the adhesive layer 30 for attachment to the object to be delivered or the like.

[0055] Figure 8 is a view from the surface showing how the area of ​​the intermediate sheet portion 1c opposite the copying area 10a is separated, and Figure 9 is a cross-sectional view showing how the area of ​​the intermediate sheet portion 1c opposite the copying area 10a is separated.

[0056] Then, the portion of the intermediate sheet 1c that has been separated from the delivery item 3, along with the lower sheet 1b, will be kept by, for example, the delivery company as a copy. As a result, the shipping fee 2c entered in the information entry field 11h will be held in both the copy area 10a of the upper sheet 1a and the intermediate sheet 1c that has been separated from the delivery item 3.

[0057] Therefore, even if the shipping fee for a delivery is fraudulently altered, the alteration can be detected by cross-referencing these two pieces of information, making it more difficult to tamper with the information entered.

[0058] Furthermore, the copy area 10a of the upper substrate 10 displays a management number 12c linked to the barcode information 12a displayed in the non-copy area 10b of the upper substrate 10, and the protruding portion 71 of the middle substrate 70 separated from the delivery item 3 also displays a management number 12d linked to the barcode information 12a displayed in the non-copy area 10b of the upper substrate 10. Therefore, the information entered in each of the information entry fields 11a to 11f of the upper substrate 10 can be identified using these management numbers 12c and 12d, and the delivery item can be managed. In addition, the non-copy area 10b displays information entered in each of the information entry fields 11a to 11f, as well as barcode information 12a and management number 12b, and these barcode information 12a and management number 12b are linked to management numbers 12c and 12d. Therefore, when collecting the delivery item 3, for example, an image of the non-copyable area 10b attached to the delivery item 3 can be captured and the captured image can be saved in the system. This allows the information entered in each of the information entry fields 11a to 11f to be identified using management numbers 12c and 12d, and the delivery item 3 can be managed.

[0059] Thus, in this embodiment, the delivery slip 1 has a non-copy area 10b that is affixed to the delivery item, and a copy area 10a that is separated from this non-copy area 10b. By managing the delivery item using two pieces of information that are held separately from the delivery item in the copy area 10a, it is made more difficult to tamper with the information written on the delivery slip 1. For this reason, the delivery slip 1 is separated into the copy area 10a of the upper base material 10, the intermediate sheet section 1c, and the lower sheet section 1b, and the same copied information is held in both the copy area 10a and the intermediate sheet section 1c. However, when managing the delivery item, if one of the two pieces of information that are held separately is held on the delivery item, it becomes difficult to perform tasks such as comparing the two pieces of information after the delivery item has been delivered to the destination. However, the delivery slip 1 in this embodiment makes it easy to perform tasks such as comparing two copied pieces of information, both before and after the delivery is made to the destination, and makes it difficult to tamper with the information written on the delivery slip 1.

[0060] Furthermore, in this embodiment, first, the copy area 10a of the upper base material 10 is separated from the non-copy area 10b, the intermediate sheet portion 1c, and the lower sheet portion 1b, and then the delivery slip 1 is affixed to the delivery item 3, while the area of ​​the intermediate sheet portion 1c facing the copy area 10a is separated from the delivery item 3. Therefore, the area of ​​the intermediate sheet portion 1c facing the copy area 10a, which holds the same information as the information held in the copy area 10a of the upper base material 10 by copying, is not separated from the delivery slip 1 until the delivery slip 1 is affixed to the delivery item 3, thus avoiding the complexity of managing the correspondence between the delivery item 3 and the delivery slip 1.

[0061] In this embodiment, the intermediate sheet portion 1c and the lower sheet portion 1b are torn via the perforations 14 after the delivery slip 1 is attached to the delivery item 3. However, after tearing the intermediate sheet portion 1c and the lower sheet portion 1b via the perforations 14, the portion of the lower base material 60 and the release agent layer 40 that faces the non-copy area 10b from the slit 15 may be peeled from the intermediate sheet portion 1c and attached to the delivery slip 1. In that case, the portion of the lower sheet portion 1b facing the copy area 10a is removed before the delivery slip 1 is attached to the delivery item 3, so it is not necessary to provide the slit 15.

[0062] As shown in Figure 7, the delivery slip 1 is attached to the delivery item 3, and the area opposite the copy area 10a of the intermediate sheet 1c is separated. The delivery item 3 is then delivered to the destination according to the destination information 2a written in the information entry field 11a. After the delivery item 3 is delivered to the destination, as shown in Figures 10 and 11, the non-copy area 10b of the upper sheet 1a is peeled off from the intermediate sheet 1c. This prevents the leakage of destination information 2a written in the information entry field 11a and consignor information 2b written in the information entry field 11b when the box containing the delivery item 3 and the delivery slip 1 attached is discarded. At this time, by making the non-adhesive part 81 the starting point for peeling, it becomes easier to peel off the non-copy area 10b of the upper sheet 1a from the intermediate sheet 1c.

[0063] Figure 10 is a view from the surface showing how the non-copying area 10b of the upper substrate 10 is peeled off from the intermediate sheet portion 1c, and Figure 11 is a cross-sectional view showing how the non-copying area 10b of the upper substrate 10 is peeled off from the intermediate sheet portion 1c.

[0064] Furthermore, as described above, the information entered in the information entry fields 11a to 11f of the non-copying area 10b is less likely to be copied to the intermediate substrate 70. Therefore, even when the upper sheet portion 1a is peeled off from the intermediate sheet portion 1c, the information entered in the information entry fields 11a to 11f will remain only in the non-copying area 10b of the upper substrate 10, preventing the information entered in the information entry fields 11a to 11f from being dispersed unnecessarily.

[0065] In this embodiment, the perforations 14 are formed in the region opposite to the copying area 10a, adjacent to and parallel to the slit 13. That is, the perforations 14 are formed on the side of the region opposite to the copying area 10a that is opposite to the slit 13. However, the perforations 14 may also be formed in the region that overlaps with the slit 13 in the thickness direction of the delivery slip 1.

[0066] (Second embodiment) Figure 12 shows a second embodiment of the delivery slip of the present invention, where (a) is a front view and (b) is a cross-sectional view AA shown in (a).

[0067] As shown in Figure 12, this embodiment is a delivery slip 101 in which the positions of the perforations 14 and slits 15 are different from those shown in Figure 1.

[0068] In this embodiment, the perforations 14 are formed in a region further away from the region facing the non-copy area 10b compared to the one shown in Figure 1. Accordingly, the slits 15 in this embodiment are also formed in a region further away from the region facing the non-copy area 10b compared to the one shown in Figure 1.

[0069] The delivery slip 101 shown in Figure 12 is used in the same way as the delivery slip 1 shown in Figure 1.

[0070] Figures 13 to 15 are diagrams illustrating how to use the delivery slip 101 shown in Figure 12.

[0071] After the delivery of the item is accepted, first, as shown in Figure 13, the copy area 10a of the upper base material 10 is separated from the intermediate sheet portion 1c by peeling it off, thereby separating it from the non-copy area 10b, the intermediate sheet portion 1c, and the lower sheet portion 1b. Then, for example, the copy area 10a is handed over to the requester who requested the delivery of the item.

[0072] Figure 13 shows the process of separating the copying area 10a of the upper substrate 10, as viewed from the surface.

[0073] As shown in Figure 13, the shipping fee 2c entered in the information entry field 11h is copied as copied information 2d to the information copy field 11j opposite the information entry field 11h of the intermediate base material 70, and the special notes information 2e entered in the information entry field 11g is copied as copied information 2f to the information copy field 11k opposite the information entry field 11g of the intermediate base material 70. As a result, the shipping fee 2c entered in the information entry field 11h is held in both the copy area 10a separated from the intermediate sheet section 1c and the lower sheet section 1b, and the intermediate sheet section 1c from which the copy area 10a has been separated. Similarly, the special notes information 2e entered in the information entry field 11g is held in both the copy area 10a separated from the intermediate sheet section 1c and the lower sheet section 1b, and the intermediate sheet section 1c from which the copy area 10a has been separated.

[0074] Subsequently, similar to the delivery slip 1 shown in Figure 1, a portion of the lower sheet portion 1b, consisting of the lower base material 60 and the release agent layer 40, is peeled off from the intermediate sheet portion 1c, and the exposed adhesive layer 30 attaches the delivery slip 101 to the delivery item.

[0075] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 14 and 15, the intermediate sheet portion 1c and the lower sheet portion 1b are torn via the perforations 14. In this embodiment, the perforations 14 are formed in an area further away from the area facing the non-copy area 10b compared to the one shown in Figure 1. Therefore, as shown in Figure 14, a portion of the intermediate sheet portion 1c and the lower sheet portion 1b that faces the copy area 10a is not separated from the delivery slip 101 via the perforations 14 on the side facing the non-copy area 10b. As a result, the special information 2e entered in the information entry field 11g is copied to the information copy field 11k, and the copied information 2f is retained on the delivery item 3.

[0076] Figure 14 is a view from the surface showing how a portion of the area of ​​the intermediate sheet portion 1c facing the copying area 10a is separated, and Figure 15 is a cross-sectional view showing how a portion of the area of ​​the intermediate sheet portion 1c facing the copying area 10a is separated.

[0077] Thus, in this embodiment, a portion of the information copied to the area opposite the copying area 10a of the intermediate sheet portion 1c can be separated from the delivered item, while the remaining portion can be retained in the delivered item.

[0078] In the above-described embodiment, the color-developing layer 20 is laminated over the entire lower surface of the upper substrate 10, but it is sufficient if the color-developing layer 20 is laminated over at least the copying area 10a of the lower surface of the upper substrate 10. Also, in the above-described embodiment, the color developer layer 50 is laminated over the entire upper surface of the middle substrate 70 facing the upper substrate 10, but it is sufficient if the color developer layer 50 is laminated over at least the upper surface of the middle substrate 70 facing the copying area 10a.

[0079] Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the adhesive layer 30 is laminated over the entire lower surface of the intermediate substrate 70, but the adhesive layer 30 only needs to be laminated over the area of ​​the lower surface of the intermediate substrate 70 that faces the non-copying area 10b. Alternatively, the adhesive layer 30 may be laminated over the entire lower surface of the intermediate substrate 70 or at least over the area facing the non-copying area 10b, but only over the peripheral edge.

[0080] Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the lower base material 60 is sized to include the middle base material 70, but the lower base material 60 only needs to have at least a region facing the non-copying area 10b. [Explanation of Symbols]
