Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a sticker with a backing sheet and a method for producing a sticker with a backing sheet. [Background Art]

[0002] Seal bodies such as stickers to be attached to arbitrary objects are used for purposes such as improving design and advertising. When stickers are sold at stores and the like, they are displayed in stores. Patent Document 1 describes a seal sheet manufacturing system in which expandability of design is improved by attaching a plurality of seal bodies at predetermined attachment positions on the surface of a backing sheet. [Prior Art Literature] [Patent Literature]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2020-71392 [Summary of the Invention] [Problem to be Solved by the Invention]

[0004] Among stickers, there is Apparel Sticker (registered trademark) that can be attached to apparel materials. An apparel sticker is a sticker printed on a fabric sheet that is attached to any object such as clothing or a bag. Since the fabric sheet of an apparel sticker is soft, if the apparel sticker is enclosed as it is in a unit sales bag or the like, the sticker will bend, resulting in poor appearance. Accordingly, conventionally, a film has sometimes been attached to the surface to prevent the sticker from bending. However, since the film attaching step and cutting step impose a cost burden in production, it is required to suppress bending of the sticker by a method other than using a film.

[0005] Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a sticker that can suppress bending of the sticker and maintain design properties. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] A sticker with a backing according to one aspect of the present invention comprises a backing sheet and a sticker portion provided on the backing sheet, the sticker portion having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, an adhesive layer adhered to the backing sheet by a double-sided seal attached to the second surface, and a fabric sheet layer adhered to the first surface of the adhesive layer and printed with a design pattern, the backing sheet having a sticker placement area on which the sticker portion is placed and a backing sheet design area which is a different area from the sticker placement area and is decorated with a backing sheet design pattern.

[0007] According to this embodiment, the sticker portion, which includes a fabric sheet layer, can be positioned on the backing paper, thereby suppressing the bending of the sticker. As a result, the design of the sticker is maintained, for example, when the sticker is displayed in a store, during product distribution, or when the product is purchased. Furthermore, because the sticker does not bend, the design pattern on the backing paper becomes more visible, improving the overall design.

[0008] In the above embodiment, the backing paper design pattern may form a package design pattern together with the sticker design pattern.

[0009] In this embodiment, the design pattern of the backing card and the design pattern of the sticker portion are integrated to form the package design pattern, thus improving the aesthetic appeal when displayed.

[0010] In the above embodiment, the sticker portion may include a first sticker portion and a second sticker portion that is placed on the backing paper at a distance from the first sticker portion.

[0011] According to this embodiment, multiple spaced-apart sticker sections can be arranged on a backing sheet and displayed, thereby further expanding the design possibilities of the sticker sections.

[0012] In the above embodiment, the first adhesive strength between the adhesive layer and the double-sided seal may be greater than the second adhesive strength between the fabric sheet layer and the adhesive layer.

[0013] According to this embodiment, when peeling the sticker portion from the backing paper in order to attach it to the object to be attached, the adhesive layer remains on the backing paper side, and only the fabric sheet layer can be peeled off.

[0014] Furthermore, another embodiment of the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a sticker with a backing sheet, which includes a printing step of printing a design pattern on the fabric sheet layer of a material sheet having an adhesive layer and a fabric sheet layer bonded to the first surface of the adhesive layer with an adhesive; a step of attaching a double-sided seal to the second surface facing the first surface of the adhesive layer; a cutting step of cutting the material sheet and the double-sided seal along the outer circumference of the design pattern so as to separate the material sheet and the double-sided seal into a sticker portion with the design pattern printed on it and a peripheral portion; a sheet cutting step of cutting the material sheet and the double-sided seal to the size of the backing sheet; an attachment step of attaching the sticker portion and the double-sided seal to the backing sheet so as to attach them in the sticker placement area of ​​the second double-sided seal surface facing the sticker portion of the second double-sided seal surface facing the first double-sided seal surface to which the double-sided seal is bonded to the adhesive layer; and a peripheral portion removal step of removing the peripheral portion.

[0015] In this embodiment, the material sheet is cut to the size of the backing paper and then attached to the backing paper. The excess peripheral portion of the material sheet that does not become the sticker portion is removed after attachment. This makes it possible to manufacture stickers with backing paper while positioning the sticker portion on the backing paper in a predetermined position.

[0016] In the above embodiment, the method further includes the step of applying a backing design pattern to the backing sheet, and the backing design pattern may form a package design pattern together with the design pattern of the sticker portion.

[0017] In the above aspect, the cutting step may include cutting the material sheet and the double-sided adhesive sticker such that the sticker portion includes a first sticker portion and a second sticker portion spaced apart from the first sticker portion and disposed on the mount.

Effects of the Invention

[0018] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a sticker that can suppress bending of the sticker and maintain design properties.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0020] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In each figure, components denoted by the same reference numerals have the same or similar configurations.

[0021] Figure 1 shows an example of a sticker with a backing sheet 10. The sticker with a backing sheet 10 has a sticker portion 101 and a backing sheet 102. The sticker portion 101 has a first sticker portion 1011 and a second sticker portion 1012. The backing sheet 102 is also decorated with a backing sheet design pattern 1021.

[0022] The sticker portion 101 is a sticker with a design pattern printed on a fabric sheet, and can be peeled off the backing paper 102 and attached to any desired surface. Consumers can customize items such as clothing or bags with their preferred designs by attaching the sticker portion 101.

[0023] Figure 2 shows a sticker with a backing card 10 as displayed for sale, and a sticker without a backing card as a comparative example. In Figure 2, the sticker with a backing card 10 and the sticker without a backing card are enclosed in a package P, and the holes in the package P are passed through a hook F for display. When displayed in this manner, the sticker portion 101 of the sticker with a backing card 10 is aligned to a predetermined position on the backing card 102, and the first sticker portion 1011, the second sticker portion 1012, and the backing card design pattern 1021 form an integrated part of the product's appearance, thus enabling a display with improved design.

[0024] On the other hand, in the case of stickers without a backing sheet, as shown in Figure 2, the first sticker portion 1011X and the second sticker portion 1012X bend inside the package P, and their position within the package P is not fixed, resulting in an uneven appearance and failure to maintain design integrity.

[0025] The sticker with a backing sheet 10 prevents the sticker portion 101 from bending, maintaining its design even when the sticker with a backing sheet 10 is displayed in stores. Furthermore, because the sticker portion 101 does not bend when displayed, the backing sheet design pattern 1021 applied to the backing sheet 102 becomes more visible, improving the overall design of the product. For example, even if the sticker portion 101 includes a part that is prone to bending, i.e., a thin part, the sticker portion 101 will not bend.

[0026] The layer structure of the sticker with backing paper 10 will be explained with reference to Figure 3. Figure 3 is a schematic diagram showing a cross-section of the sticker with backing paper 10. Note that the thickness of each layer has been adjusted for illustrative purposes and does not represent the actual thickness.

[0027] The first sticker section 1011 has an adhesive layer 2011 and a fabric sheet layer 2012. A design pattern 2013 is printed on the fabric sheet layer 2012. The adhesive layer 2011 has a first surface 2014 and a second surface 2015, and is adhered to the backing paper 102 by a double-sided adhesive 2031 attached to the second surface 2015. Adhesive is applied to the first surface 2014, which adheres the adhesive layer 2011 and the fabric sheet layer 2012.

[0028] When the sticker with backing paper 10 is used as a sticker, the fabric portion 301, including the fabric sheet layer 2012 and the design pattern 2013, is peeled off the adhesive layer 2011 and attached to the object to be attached. To facilitate the peeling of the fabric portion 301 from the adhesive layer 2011, the first surface 2014 is treated with a release agent, such as a coating. The material of the adhesive layer 2011 is, for example, a PET film. Furthermore, in order to properly peel the fabric portion 301 from the adhesive layer 2011, a double-sided seal 2031 is used such that the adhesive strength between the double-sided seal 2031 and the second surface 2015 is greater than the adhesive strength between the adhesive layer 2011 and the fabric sheet layer 2012.

[0029] The fabric sheet layer 2012 can be any fabric, such as satin fabric woven with synthetic fibers such as polyester, nylon, acrylic, or polyurethane.

[0030] The sticker with backing paper 10 has a second sticker section 1012, similar to the first sticker section 1011, which includes an adhesive layer 2021, a fabric sheet layer 2022, a design pattern 2023, and a double-sided adhesive 2031. Similar to the first sticker section 1011, the fabric section 302 is peeled off from the adhesive layer 2021 for use.

[0031] In the sticker with backing paper 10, the backing paper 102 has a backing paper design pattern 1021 applied to it, for example, by printing or surface treatment. The backing paper 102 has a sticker placement area R1 on which the first sticker portion 1011 and the second sticker portion 1012 are placed, and a backing paper design area R2 on which the first sticker portion 1011 and the second sticker portion 1012 are not placed. Since the first sticker portion 1011 and the second sticker portion 1012 are not placed in the backing paper design area R2, when the sticker is sealed in a package, the backing paper design pattern 1021 applied to the backing paper design area R2 is exposed.

[0032] The manufacturing method for the sticker 10 with a backing sheet will be described with reference to Figures 4 to 7. In step (4A) of Figure 4, design patterns 2013 and 2023 are printed on the material sheet 401. The material sheet 401 has an adhesive layer 201 and a fabric sheet layer 202 that are bonded to each other. Design patterns 2013 and 2023 are printed on the fabric sheet layer 202. A printing device can be used as appropriate for printing design patterns 2013 and 2023.

[0033] In step (4B), the double-sided adhesive 203 is attached to the back surface of the material sheet 401. The double-sided adhesive 203 is attached to the second surface 20112 of the adhesive layer 201, which is opposite the first surface 20111. At this time, the outer surface of the double-sided adhesive 203 is, for example, covered with a release film and is not in an adhesive state. The double-sided adhesive 203 can be attached using, for example, a rotary adhesive application device.

[0034] In step (5A) of Figure 5, the material sheet 401 and the double-sided seal 203 are cut into a sticker portion including a first sticker portion 1011 with the design pattern 2013 and a second sticker portion 1012 with the design pattern 2023, and a peripheral portion PE. The material sheet 401 and the double-sided seal 203 are cut, for example, along the outer circumference of the design pattern 2023 using a cutting machine. The cutting line L1 corresponding to the cut portion is shown in Figure 5. At this time, the first sticker portion 1011 and the second sticker portion 1012 are temporarily fixed to the material sheet 401, as the adhesive between the adhesive layer 201 and the fabric sheet layer 202 seeps out at the cut surface.

[0035] Furthermore, the material sheet 401 and the double-sided adhesive 203 are cut to the size of the backing paper 102 on which the first sticker portion 1011 and the second sticker portion 1012 are placed. The cutting line L2 corresponding to the size of the backing paper 102 is shown in Figure 5.

[0036] In step (5B), each sticker cut to size on the backing sheet 102 is separated into individual stickers 501.

[0037] In step (6A) of Figure 6, the double-sided seals 203 on the back of the individual sticker 501 are made adhesive on the second double-sided seal surface 20312, which is opposite the first double-sided seal surface 20311 to which the adhesive layer 201 is bonded, and on the sticker placement area R1 opposite the first sticker portion 1011 and the second sticker portion 1012, respectively. For example, by peeling off only the release film of the double-sided seal 203 corresponding to the sticker placement area R1, only the double-sided seal 203 in the sticker placement area R1 becomes adhesive.

[0038] In step (6B), individual stickers 501 are attached to the backing paper 102 which has the backing paper design pattern 1021 applied to it. At this time, the double-sided adhesive 203 and the backing paper 102 are not adhered to areas other than the sticker placement area R1.

[0039] In step (7A) of Figure 7, the peripheral PE is removed. The portion corresponding to the peripheral PE is separated from the first sticker portion 1011 and the second sticker portion 1012, and is not adhered to the backing paper 102 and 203, so it can be easily removed. The peripheral PE can be removed, for example, by pushing out the first sticker portion 1011 and the second sticker portion 1012 using an extrusion device or the like.

[0040] By removing the peripheral PE portion, a sticker 10 with a backing sheet is completed, in which the first sticker portion 1011 and the second sticker portion 1012 are arranged on the backing sheet 102.

[0041] By the method described above, the material sheet 401 is cut to the size of the backing paper 102 and then attached. By removing the peripheral PE portion of the material sheet 401 that does not become the first sticker portion 1011 and the second sticker portion 1012 after attachment, it becomes possible to manufacture the backing paper-attached sticker 10 while maintaining the relative positions between the first sticker portion 1011 and the second sticker portion 1012 and their positions on the backing paper 102 in predetermined positions.

[0042] Referring to Figure 8, the method of using the sticker with backing paper 10 will be explained. In step (8A) of Figure 8, the application sheet 601 is attached to the top surface of the sticker with backing paper 10. The application sheet 601 is adhered to the fabric parts 301 and 302. The application sheet 601 may be enclosed together with the sticker with backing paper 10 in package P.

[0043] In step (8B), the application sheet 601 is lifted. When the application sheet 601 is lifted, only the fabric parts 301 and 302 separate from the sticker 10 with backing paper. In order to ensure that only the fabric parts 301 and 302 can be separated, the application sheet 601 is used such that the adhesive strength between the fabric parts 301 and 302 and the application sheet 601 is stronger than the adhesive strength between the adhesive layers 2011 and 2021 and the fabric sheet layers 2012 and 2022. When the application sheet 601 is lifted, the adhesive layers 2011 and 2021 remain on the backing paper 102.

[0044] In step (8C), the application sheet 601 is attached to the object 602. By attaching the application sheet 601, the fabric parts 301 and 302 are attached to the object 602. At this time, the adhesion between the object 602 and the fabric parts 301 and 302 is achieved by the adhesive of the fabric parts 301 and 302.

[0045] In step (8D), the application sheet 601 is peeled off, leaving only the fabric parts 301 and 302 on the object to be attached 602. As a result, the fabric parts 301 and 302, which have the design patterns 2013 and 2023 applied to them, are attached to the object to be attached 602.

[0046] Since the fabric parts 301 and 302 of the sticker with backing paper 10 can be attached to any object, consumers can arrange the object 602 to which the sticker is attached according to their preferred design.

[0047] Referring to Figure 9, another example of a sticker with a backing sheet 10A will be described. The sticker with a backing sheet 10A has a sticker portion 101A and a backing sheet 102A. The sticker portion 101A has sticker portions 901, 902, 903, 904, and 905 that are spaced apart from each other. The backing sheet 102A is also decorated with a backing sheet design pattern 1021A.

[0048] The sticker with backing paper 10A is manufactured by the method described with reference to Figure 8. In the sticker with backing paper 10A, the sticker portion 101A is designed with a cat's paw motif. The backing paper 102A also has a backing paper design pattern with a cat's paw motif. Consumers who purchase the sticker with backing paper 10A can attach the sticker portion 101A to the object 906 to be attached. This manufacturing method allows the sticker with backing paper 10A to be manufactured with the position of the sticker portion 101A on the backing paper 102A aligned to a predetermined position. First, this provides a sticker with backing paper 10A in which the sticker portion 101A and the backing paper 102A are designed as a single unit. Furthermore, in the example of Figure 9, if the position of the sticker portion 902 is extremely far from the other sticker portions, the design quality of the sticker with backing paper may be impaired, and consumers may not be able to recognize that the design of the sticker portion 101A is a cat's paw. However, this manufacturing method allows the relative positions of multiple spaced sticker sections 901, 902, 903, 904, and 905 to be aligned to predetermined positions, thus preventing the design from being compromised when packaged due to misalignment of the relative positions of the sticker sections 901, 902, 903, 904, and 905. Thus, this manufacturing method makes it possible to attach a sticker section having multiple spaced sticker sections to a backing sheet while maintaining the design positional relationship. As a result, it is possible to manufacture a backing sheet-attached sticker 10A with enhanced design.

[0049] The embodiments described above are provided to facilitate understanding of the present invention and are not intended to limit its interpretation. The elements, arrangement, materials, conditions, shapes, and sizes of the embodiments are not limited to those exemplified and can be modified as appropriate. Furthermore, it is possible to partially substitute or combine the configurations shown in different embodiments. [Explanation of symbols]
