Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] However, for the conventional delivery of cards, in addition to the backing sheet, an envelope is required, resulting in a lot of waste of resources. Also, after attaching the card to the backing sheet, the operation of enclosing the backing sheet and the card in an envelope is also necessary, so the cost of card delivery was high.

[0005] The problem of the present disclosure is to provide a card sealing body that can reduce the amount of resources used while maintaining safety and can suppress the cost of delivery.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0016] Hereinafter, one form for implementing the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings and the like.

[0017] (First Embodiment) FIG. 1 is a front view showing the card sealing body 1 of the first embodiment. FIG. 2 is a view showing the range of the card and the bonding layer in the same front view as FIG. 1. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the card sealing body 1 cut at the position of arrow A - A in FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. 4 is a view of the card sealing body 1 unfolded, showing the front side which is the temporarily fixed side of the card. FIG. 5 is a view of the card sealing body 1 unfolded, showing the back side which is opposite to the temporarily fixed side of the card. Hereinafter, the temporarily fixed side of the card as shown in FIG. 4 will be referred to as the front side, and the side opposite to the temporarily fixed side of the card as shown in FIG. 5 will be referred to as the back side. Each figure is a schematically shown figure, and the size and shape of each part are exaggerated or omitted as appropriate for easy understanding. Also, in the following description, specific numerical values, shapes, materials, etc. are shown for the description, but these can be changed as appropriate.

[0018] The card seal 1 of the first embodiment comprises a temporary card fixing piece 11, a covering piece 12, an attachment piece 13, and a card C. The temporary card fixing piece 11, the covering piece 12, and the attachment piece 13 all have the same rectangular shape in terms of outer diameter. The temporary card fixing piece 11 and the covering piece 12 are connected via a first fold line L1, and the temporary card fixing piece 11 and the attachment piece 13 are connected via a second fold line L2. Therefore, the temporary card fixing piece 11, the covering piece 12, and the attachment piece 13 are made from a single sheet. The material of the sheet that makes up the temporary card fixing piece 11, the covering piece 12, and the attachment piece 13 is not particularly limited, but paper can be suitably used. Specifically, the material of the sheet that makes up the temporary card fixing piece 11, the covering piece 12, and the attachment piece 13 can be, for example, high-quality paper, coated paper, recycled paper, synthetic paper, etc.

[0019] The temporary card fixing piece 11 has card C temporarily fixed to its front side in the unfolded state shown in Figure 4. Temporary fixing of card C to the temporary card fixing piece 11 can be exemplified by using double-sided tape, temporary adhesive, etc., but the temporary card fixing piece 11 may also be provided with a notch shape to hold card C, thereby temporarily fixing card C.

[0020] The temporary card fixing piece 11 has a front bonding layer 21 on the front side in the unfolded state shown in Figure 4. The front bonding layer 21 is arranged along the four sides of the temporary card fixing piece 11. The temporary card fixing piece 11 also has a back bonding layer 31 on the back side in the unfolded state shown in Figure 5. The back bonding layer 31 is arranged along the four sides of the back.

[0021] The covering piece 12, in a folded state along the first fold line L1, covers the card C temporarily fixed to the card temporary fixing piece 11 and is positioned opposite the card temporary fixing piece 11. The covering piece 12 has a front bonding layer 22 on the front side in the unfolded state shown in Figure 4. The front bonding layer 22 is arranged along the four sides of the perimeter of the covering piece 12. The covering piece 12 also has a through hole 12a at the position where the first fold line L1 is folded and faces the card C. This through hole 12a is a hole for confirming that the card C is contained when the card seal 1 is sealed. It can also be expected to have the effect of venting air, which will be described later. If the through hole 12a is circular, the diameter is preferably 2 mm or more and 10 mm or less. If the through hole 12a is rectangular, the vertical and horizontal dimensions are preferably 2 mm or more and 10 mm or less. Furthermore, the position of the through hole 12a is preferably a location other than the contact terminal surface of the IC module of the card C. This is for reasons such as preventing rust on the terminal surface.

[0022] The attachment piece 13 is connected to the temporary card fixing piece 11 via a second fold line L2 parallel to the first fold line L1. The front side of the attachment piece 13 is exposed on the outermost surface of the card seal 1 when the card C is sealed. The attachment piece 13 has an information display section P1, an address display section P2, and a code display section P3 on its front side in the unfolded state shown in Figure 4. The information displayed in these display sections is the address and information specific to the card C being sent, and is information corresponding to the card C being sealed.

[0023] The attached piece 13 has a back-side bonding layer 33 on its reverse side in the unfolded state shown in Figure 5. The back-side bonding layer 33 is arranged along the four sides of the perimeter of the attached piece 13.

[0024] In this embodiment, card C is a credit card, which is temporarily fixed to and sealed in the card seal 1, and then sent from the card issuer to the user. Note that card C is not limited to a credit card; it may be a membership card, point card, employee ID card, or other type of card media.

[0025] In this embodiment, the card seal 1 consists of a temporary card fixing piece 11, a covering piece 12, and an attachment piece 13, which are folded in a so-called "Z-fold" manner along the first fold line L1 and the second fold line L2. The card seal 1 is then sealed by the first joint 20 and the second joint 30 in this folded state to become the shippable form shown in Figures 1 to 3. In this embodiment, in the state shown in Figure 4 when the card seal 1 is viewed from the front, the first fold line L1 is a valley fold and the second fold line L2 is a mountain fold.

[0026] Both the front bonding layer 21 of the temporary card fixing piece 11 and the front bonding layer 22 of the covering piece 12 are constructed by applying pressure-sensitive adhesive. Therefore, when the front bonding layer 21 of the temporary card fixing piece 11 and the front bonding layer 22 of the covering piece 12 are pressed together in contact, they are bonded together, forming a first bonding portion 20 (see Figure 3) that joins the temporary card fixing piece 11 and the covering piece 12.

[0027] This first joint 20 is provided on a part of the outer circumference of the first sealing region S1 (see Figure 3), which is formed when the card temporary fixing piece 11 and the covering piece 12 face each other, and joins the card temporary fixing piece 11 and the covering piece 12. Here, the first joint 20 is not provided on the entire outer circumference of the first sealing region S1, but is partially discontinuous to allow air to flow between the first sealing region S1 and the outside. This discontinuous portion prevents excess air from accumulating in the first sealing region S1 when the front bonding layer 21 and the front bonding layer 22 are pressed together, which would cause the card sealing body 1 to tear or wrinkle during the pressing process. Furthermore, even when the sealed card seal 1 is transported by a belt or the like in a postal sorting machine after being submitted to the post office and subjected to pressure from the transport rollers (for example, pressure between the flat belt and the receiving roll), it is possible to prevent the card seal 1 from tearing or wrinkling. In order to properly obtain the air venting effect of this discontinuity, it is desirable that the discontinuity opens in a direction along the axial direction of the crimping roller or transport roller. The width W1 of the discontinuity of the first joint 20 can be set appropriately according to the air venting effect, but it is desirable that it be between 1 mm and 40 mm. This is because the short side of a typical card C is 54 mm, and this is to prevent the card C from falling out of the discontinuity. Also, it is desirable that the width W1 of the discontinuity be at least 25% of the width W2 of the front joint layer 21 and the front joint layer 22. In this embodiment, W1 = 5 mm. Note that the width of W1 may be changed depending on the location.

[0028] The width W2 of the adhesive layer in the direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the front bonding layer 21 and the front bonding layer 22 should be appropriately set according to the adhesive strength, but it is desirable to have a width of 2 mm or more and 10 mm or less. In this embodiment, W2 = 5 mm. Note that the width of W2 may be changed depending on the location.

[0029] Similar to the front side, the back bonding layer 31 of the temporary card fixing piece 11 and the back bonding layer 33 of the attachment piece 13 are both constructed by applying pressure-sensitive adhesive. Therefore, when the back bonding layer 31 of the temporary card fixing piece 11 and the back bonding layer 33 of the attachment piece 13 are pressed together in contact, they are bonded together, forming a second joint 30 (see Figure 3) that joins the temporary card fixing piece 11 and the attachment piece 13. Note that the first joint 20 and the second joint 30 may be formed with different adhesives. Also, one of the first joint 20 and the second joint 30 may be made of a heat-sensitive adhesive, or both may be made of a heat-sensitive adhesive.

[0030] The second joint 30 is provided on a part of the outer circumference of the second sealing region S2 (see Figure 3), which is formed when the card temporary fixing piece 11 and the attached piece 13 face each other, and joins the card temporary fixing piece 11 and the attached piece 13. Here, the second joint 30 is not provided on the entire outer circumference of the second sealing region S2, but is partially discontinuous to allow air to flow between the second sealing region S2 and the outside. This discontinuous portion prevents excess air from accumulating in the second sealing region S2 when the back sealing layer 31 and the back sealing layer 33 are pressed together, which would cause the card sealing body 1 to tear or wrinkle during the pressing process. In order to properly obtain the air release effect from this discontinuous portion, it is desirable that the discontinuous portion is open in a direction along the direction in which the pressing roller travels. Furthermore, since air tends to accumulate in the corners of the discontinuous sections during crimping and transport, it is desirable to provide discontinuous sections (air vents) near all corners. The width W3 of the discontinuous section of the second joint 30 can be set appropriately according to the air venting effect, but it is desirable to have a width of 2 mm or more and 10 mm or less. In this embodiment, W3 = 5 mm. Note that the width of W3 may be changed depending on the location. It is desirable that the positions of the discontinuous sections provided on the front and back sides of the card seal 1 be positioned so that the discontinuous sections overlap when folded along the first fold line L1 and the second fold line L2. This is because if the discontinuous sections overlap with the front joint layer 21 and the front joint layer 22 or the back joint layer 31 and the back joint layer 33 when the front and back sides are crimped simultaneously, the adhesive strength in those areas may decrease.

[0031] The width W4 of the adhesive layer between the back-side bonding layer 31 and the back-side bonding layer 33 in the direction perpendicular to their extension direction should be appropriately set according to the adhesive strength, but it is preferable that it be between 2 mm and 10 mm. In this embodiment, W4 = 5 mm. Note that the width of W4 may be changed depending on the location.

[0032] Furthermore, in the sealed state shown in Figures 1 and 2, the card seal 1 of this embodiment is provided with a cutting line 1a. The cutting line 1a is located inside the first joint 20 and the second joint 30 and is provided along the first joint 20 and the second joint 30. The cutting line 1a of this embodiment is not provided around the entire circumference of the card seal 1. Specifically, the cutting line 1a is not provided on one of the sides that make up the outer circumference of the card seal 1 (the top side in Figures 1 and 2).

[0033] In this embodiment, the cutting line 1a is configured as a perforation, allowing the user to easily cut it without using any tools. The cutting line 1a is not limited to a perforation; it may also be a printed line indicating the cutting position, such as one to be cut with scissors. A user who receives the card seal 1 can open it by cutting around the card seal 1 along the cutting line 1a.

[0034] The sealed card enclosure 1 shown in Figures 1 to 3 can be delivered as is using various delivery services such as postal mail and courier services. Since card C is sealed in the first sealing area S1, it cannot be viewed or removed from the outside during delivery, thus ensuring security. The user who receives the card enclosure 1 can open the card enclosure 1 and take out card C.

[0035] Figure 6 shows the state after the card seal 1 has been opened by cutting around its perimeter along the planned cutting line 1a. As shown in Figure 6, the opened card seal 1 has the temporary card fixing piece 11, the covering piece 12, and the attached piece 13 connected along one side, forming a booklet-like structure. Therefore, the individual pieces do not separate, making it easy to use.

[0036] As described above, according to the card seal 1 of the first embodiment, card C can be safely delivered simply by temporarily fixing it to a single sheet. Since card C is sealed in the first sealing area S1, resource usage can be reduced while maintaining security, and delivery costs can be reduced.

[0037] (Second Embodiment) Figure 7 is a cross-sectional view of the card seal 1B of the second embodiment, cut at the same position as in Figure 3 of the first embodiment. Figure 8 is a view of the card seal 1B unfolded, showing the front side, which is the side where the card is temporarily fixed. Figure 9 is a view of the card seal 1B unfolded, showing the back side, which is the opposite side from the side where the card is temporarily fixed. The card seal 1B of the second embodiment is the same as the first embodiment, except that the folding method for sealing is different, and the configuration of the first joint 20 and the second joint 30 is different due to the change in folding method. Therefore, parts that perform the same function as in the first embodiment described above are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant explanations are omitted as appropriate.

[0038] The card seal 1B of the second embodiment, like the first embodiment, comprises a temporary card fixing piece 11, a covering piece 12, an attachment piece 13, and a card C.

[0039] The temporary card fixing piece 11 of the second embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment in terms of the front side in the unfolded state shown in Figure 8. On the other hand, the temporary card fixing piece 11 of the second embodiment differs from that of the first embodiment in that, in terms of the back side in the unfolded state shown in Figure 9, it does not have a structure corresponding to the back side bonding layer 31.

[0040] The covering piece 12 of the second embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment in terms of the front side in the unfolded state shown in Figure 8. On the other hand, the covering piece 12 of the second embodiment differs from that of the first embodiment in that it has a back side bonding layer 32 in terms of the back side in the unfolded state shown in Figure 9. The back side bonding layer 32 is arranged along the four sides around the perimeter of the covering piece 12.

[0041] The attachment piece 13 of the second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that, on the front side in the unfolded state shown in Figure 8, it has a front-side bonding layer 23, and does not have an information display section P1, a destination display section P2, and a code display section P3. The front-side bonding layer 23 is arranged along the four sides of the attachment piece 13. On the other hand, on the back side in the unfolded state shown in Figure 9, the attachment piece 13 of the second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that it has an information display section P1, a destination display section P2, and a code display section P3.

[0042] The card seal 1B of the second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the card temporary fixing piece 11, the covering piece 12, and the attachment piece 13 are folded at the first fold line L1 and the second fold line L2 in a manner known as a "C-fold" or "roll tri-fold". The card seal 1B is then sealed by the first joint 20 and the second joint 30 in this folded state to become the shippable form shown in Figure 7. In the second embodiment, as seen from the front of the card seal 1B in Figure 8, the first fold line L1 is a valley fold, and the second fold line L2 is also a valley fold. Furthermore, the folding order is to fold the first fold line L1 first, and then the second fold line L2.

[0043] The configuration of the front bonding layer 23 of the attachment piece 13 and the back bonding layer 32 of the covering piece 12 is the same as that of the front bonding layer 21 and the back bonding layer 31 of the temporary card fixing piece 11 in the first embodiment. In the second embodiment as well, when the front bonding layer 21 of the temporary card fixing piece 11 and the front bonding layer 22 of the covering piece 12 are pressed together in contact, they are bonded together to form a first bonding portion 20 (see Figure 7) that joins the temporary card fixing piece 11 and the covering piece 12. Furthermore, when the back bonding layer 32 of the covering piece 12 and the front bonding layer 23 of the attachment piece 13 are pressed together in contact, they are bonded together to form a second bonding portion 30 (see Figure 7) that joins the covering piece 12 and the attachment piece 13.

[0044] According to the card seal 1B of the second embodiment, similar to the first embodiment, card C can be safely delivered simply by temporarily fixing it to a single sheet. Since card C is sealed in the first sealing area S1, resource usage can be reduced while maintaining security, and delivery costs can be lowered.

[0045] (Third embodiment) Figure 10 is a cross-sectional view of the card seal 1C of the third embodiment, cut at the same position as in Figure 3 of the first embodiment. Figure 11 is a view of the card seal 1C unfolded, showing the front side which is the card temporary fixing side. Figure 12 is a view of the card seal 1C unfolded, showing the back side which is opposite to the card temporary fixing side. The card seal 1C of the third embodiment is the same as the first embodiment, except that it does not have a component corresponding to the attached piece 13 and the folding method for sealing is different. Therefore, the same reference numerals are used for parts that perform the same function as in the first embodiment described above, and redundant explanations are omitted as appropriate.

[0046] The card seal 1C of the third embodiment includes a temporary card fixing piece 11, a covering piece 12, and a card C, similar to the first embodiment, but does not have the configuration corresponding to the accessory piece 13 and the configuration corresponding to the through hole 12a in the first embodiment. However, the card seal 1C of the third embodiment may be provided with a through hole corresponding to the through hole 12a.

[0047] The temporary card fixing piece 11 of the second embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment in terms of the front side in the unfolded state shown in Figure 11. On the other hand, the temporary card fixing piece 11 of the third embodiment differs from that of the first embodiment in that it does not have a configuration corresponding to the back side bonding layer 31 in terms of the back side in the unfolded state shown in Figure 12.

[0048] The covering piece 12 of the third embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment in terms of the front side in the unfolded state shown in Figure 11. On the other hand, the covering piece 12 of the third embodiment differs from that of the first embodiment in that, in terms of the back side in the unfolded state shown in Figure 12, it has an information display section P1, a destination display section P2, and a code display section P3.

[0049] The card seal 1C of the third embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the card temporary fixing piece 11 and the covering piece 12 are folded at the first fold line L1 in a form known as a "double fold". The card seal 1C is then sealed by the first joint 20 in this folded state to become the shippable form shown in Figure 10. In the third embodiment, in the state shown in Figure 11 when the card seal 1C is viewed from the front, the first fold line L1 is a valley fold.

[0050] In the third embodiment as well, when the front bonding layer 21 of the temporary card fixing piece 11 and the front bonding layer 22 of the covering piece 12 are pressed together in contact, they are bonded together, forming a first bonding portion 20 (see Figure 10) that joins the temporary card fixing piece 11 and the covering piece 12.

[0051] According to the card seal 1C of the third embodiment, similar to the first embodiment, card C can be safely delivered simply by temporarily fixing it to a single sheet. Since card C is sealed in the first sealing area S1, resource usage can be reduced while maintaining security, and delivery costs can be lowered.

[0052] (Transformed form) The embodiments described above are not limited to those described above, and various modifications and changes are possible, which are also within the scope of this disclosure.

[0053] (1) In each embodiment, the example described shows that only one card C is temporarily fixed to the temporary card fixing piece 11. However, the invention is not limited to this, and for example, multiple cards C may be temporarily fixed to the temporary card fixing piece 11, or they may be temporarily fixed to other parts such as the covering piece 12. Figure 13 is an unfolded view showing a modified form in which the arrangement of cards C is changed in the first embodiment. In the example of the card seal 1D shown in Figure 13, two cards C are temporarily fixed to the temporary card fixing piece 11, and two more are temporarily fixed to the covering piece 12. In addition, although not shown, for example, cards C may be temporarily fixed to the attachment piece 13, or cards C may also be temporarily fixed to the back side. Card C may be placed (temporarily fixed) in any position as long as it is not exposed on the front when the card seal is sealed. Even if the arrangement of cards C is changed in this way, the effects of this disclosure can be achieved in the same way.

[0054] (2) In each embodiment, the card C is described as being positioned with its longitudinal direction aligned with the longitudinal direction of the temporary card fixing piece 11. However, the invention is not limited to this, and for example, the card C may be positioned without its longitudinal direction being aligned with the longitudinal direction of the temporary card fixing piece 11. Figure 14 is an unfolded view showing a modified form in which the orientation of the card C is changed in the first embodiment. As shown in the card seal 1E in Figure 14, the orientation of the card C may be rotated 90° from the orientation exemplified in each embodiment.

[0055] (3) In each embodiment, the first joint 20 and the second joint 30 were described using an example in which a pressure-sensitive adhesive was used. However, the first joint 20 and the second joint 30 may be constructed using other types of adhesives or tacks, or using double-sided tape.

[0056] While each embodiment and its variations can be used in combination as appropriate, a detailed explanation is omitted. Furthermore, this disclosure is not limited to the embodiments described above. [Explanation of Symbols]
