As an example of a technique showing such a conventional attention sticker, there is Patent Document 1 below. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2007-264045 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In conventional attention stickers such as those shown in Patent Document 1, as shown in Fig. 6, adhesive is applied to the entire surface of the other surface (rear surface) of a sheet material (first sheet material 18) having advertising information printed on one surface (front surface) and then so-called adhesive killing processing is performed on the adhesive killing processing area Q so that the adhesive remains only in the adhesive exposed area R, thereby forming the adhesive exposed area R. In such conventional attention stickers, it is common to advertise by attaching the attention sticker to a desired position on a product such as food or cosmetics via the adhesive 13 in the adhesive exposed area R. However, such conventional attention stickers required complex processes, including a step of applying adhesive to the entire other side (reverse side) of a sheet of material and a step of performing a so-called glue-killing process so that adhesive remains only in the adhesive-exposed area R, resulting in the problem of high manufacturing costs.

[0005] Therefore, the objective of the present invention is to provide an attention sticker that solves the problems of the conventional technology described above, has a simple structure, can reduce manufacturing costs, and enables more efficient advertising. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the attention sticker of the present invention is an attention sticker that is attached to products such as food and cosmetics for advertising purposes, and its first feature is that a sheet material having advertising information printed on one side and adhesive applied to the entire surface of the other side is folded back at a predetermined position so that an adhesive exposed area is formed in part where the applied adhesive is exposed, and a pair of sheet materials that are folded back and overlap each other are bonded together with the adhesive. In addition to the first characteristic, the attention sticker of the present invention has a second characteristic in that the pair of overlapping sheet materials have the same shape as each other and the entire surfaces of the pair of overlapping sheet materials are bonded together with an adhesive. In addition to the first or second feature, the attention sticker of the present invention has a third feature in that advertising information is printed on both of a pair of overlapping sheet materials. Effect of the Invention

[0007] According to the attention sticker described in claim 1, a sheet material with advertising information printed on one side and adhesive applied to the entire surface of the other side is folded back at a predetermined position so that an adhesive exposure area where the applied adhesive is exposed is formed in a part of the sheet material, and a pair of folded and overlapping sheet materials are bonded with the adhesive, so that it is not necessary to provide a complicated process of applying adhesive to the entire surface and then partially applying a so-called glue-killing process as in the case of conventional attention stickers, as a process for forming the adhesive exposure area R. Therefore, it is possible to realize a reduction in manufacturing costs despite the simple structure. In addition, since the attention sticker can be attached to a desired position on a product via the adhesive applied to the adhesive exposed area, it can be used in the same way as conventional attention stickers.

[0008] According to the attention seal of claim 2, in addition to the advantageous effects of the configuration of claim 1, the pair of overlapping sheet materials have the same shape, and the entire surfaces of the pair of sheet materials are bonded together with an adhesive, so that it is possible to reliably prevent the formation of an area where the adhesive is exposed other than the adhesive exposed area. Therefore, it is possible to provide an attention seal that can reliably prevent the attention seal from adhering to a product or the like in unintended places other than the adhesive exposed area. Furthermore, by clearly defining the overlapping parts, it becomes easier to position a single sheet material when folding it over and gluing the overlapping parts together, resulting in an attention seal with good manufacturing efficiency and high yield.

[0009] Furthermore, according to the attention sticker described in claim 3, in addition to the advantageous effects of the configuration described in claim 1 or 2, advertising information is printed on both of the pair of overlapping sheet materials, so that advertising can be carried out using both one side (front side) and the other side (rear side) of the attention sticker. This makes it possible to provide an attention sticker that is highly convenient and has an even higher advertising effect. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0011] The attention sticker according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the following drawings for the purpose of understanding the present invention. However, the following description does not limit the invention described in the claims of the utility model of the present invention.

[0012] First, an attention sticker 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 3.

[0013] As shown in Fig. 1, the attention sticker 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is a sticker that is attached to various products such as food, cosmetics, and sanitary products for advertising purposes. In this embodiment, the product 2 to which the attention sticker 1 is attached is a bottle container filled with food (vinegar), and the following description will be given. Of course, the product is not limited to this configuration, and other products such as cosmetics and sanitary products may also be used. As shown in Figures 1(b) and 1(c), this attention sticker 1 is used in the same way as conventional attention stickers, with the lower part of the attention sticker 1 with the adhesive exposed being affixed to the vertical surface of the product 2, so that the upper part of the attention sticker 1, on which the adhesive is not exposed and on which the advertising information is printed, stands up three-dimensionally without coming into contact with the curved surface of the product 2. Note that the term "advertising information" as used herein includes any information that can be used for advertising, such as characters, illustrations, symbols, and figures. In this embodiment, the advertising information is configured to use characters, figures, and QR codes (registered trademark). For the sake of convenience, the QR codes (registered trademark) are shown only as rectangular frames in Figs. 1(c), 2(b), and 3(a).

[0014] 2 and 3, in this embodiment, the attention sticker 1 is made of a sheet material having advertising information K printed on one side (front side) and adhesive 13 applied to the entire surface of the other side (rear side), which is folded back at a predetermined position along a fold line 3 so as to form an adhesive exposure area R in which the applied adhesive 13 is exposed, and has a structure in which a pair of sheets, a first sheet material 11 and a second sheet material 12, which are folded back and overlap each other, are bonded to each other with adhesive 13 in an adhesive area S. Note that the "front surface and rear surface" here refer to the side that can be seen from the front when the attention sticker 1 is attached to a product 2, as the front surface, and the side that cannot be seen from the front as the rear surface.

[0015] Such an attention sticker 1 is manufactured, for example, as follows. As shown in Fig. 3(a) and Fig. 3(b), a sheet material of a predetermined shape is prepared, on one side (front side) of which advertising information K is printed in advance, and on the entire surface of the other side (rear side) of which adhesive 13 is applied. At this time, it is necessary to prepare a sheet material in which the shape of the overlapping portion of the first sheet material 11 and the second sheet material 12 is the same shape when folded back at the fold line 3, and an adhesive exposure region R is formed on the first sheet material other than the overlapping portion of the first sheet material 11 and the second sheet material 12. In addition, it is necessary to form the fold line 3 at a predetermined position on the sheet material. In this embodiment, the fold line 3 is configured to be a so-called perforation formed by a broken line on the sheet material, but it is not necessarily limited to such a configuration, and other configurations may be used as the fold line 3 as long as it can indicate the folding position. Then, one sheet material is folded back along the fold line 3 so that an adhesive-exposed region R is formed in a portion of the sheet material (specifically, below the attention seal 1). In this state, the pair of first sheet material 11 and second sheet material 12 that are folded back and overlap each other are bonded together with adhesive 13. Through the above steps, the attention sticker 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is manufactured.

[0016] In addition, in this embodiment, as shown in Figures 2(a), 2(b), and 3, in a pair of sheet materials, a first sheet material 11 and a second sheet material 12, the pair of overlapping sheet materials (the overlapping portions of the pair of sheet materials) have the same shape as each other, and the entire surfaces of the pair of overlapping sheet materials are bonded to each other with an adhesive 13. Furthermore, as shown in Figures 1, 2(a), 2(b) and 3(a), advertising information K is printed on both of a pair of overlapping sheet materials, the first sheet material 11 and the second sheet material 12 (the overlapping portions of the pair of sheet materials). The sheet material and adhesive 13 forming the attention sticker 1 may be the same as those used for commonly used attention stickers. The method of printing advertising information on the sheet material and the method of applying adhesive 13 may be the same as those used for commonly used attention stickers. Furthermore, the shape, size, thickness, and content of the advertising and promotional information of the attention sticker 1 are not limited to those in this embodiment, and can be modified as appropriate.

[0017] The attention sticker 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention having such a configuration has the following advantages.

[0018] A sheet material with advertising information K printed on one side (front side) and adhesive 13 applied to the entire surface of the other side (rear side) is folded back at a predetermined position via fold line 3 so that an adhesive exposure region R where the applied adhesive 13 is exposed is formed in a part of the sheet material, and a pair of first sheet material 11 and second sheet material 12 that are folded back and overlap each other are bonded with adhesive 13. This configuration eliminates the need for a complicated process of applying adhesive to the entire surface and then partially applying a so-called glue-killing process as in the conventional attention sticker shown in Figure 6, as a process for forming the adhesive exposure region R. Therefore, it is possible to obtain an attention sticker 1 that can realize a reduction in manufacturing costs compared to conventional attention stickers, despite its simple configuration. In addition, since the attention sticker 1 can be attached to the desired position on the product 2 via the adhesive 13 applied to the adhesive exposed area R, the attention sticker 1 can be used in the same manner as conventional attention stickers.

[0019] Furthermore, the pair of overlapping sheet materials, the first sheet material 11 and the second sheet material 12, have the same shape, and the entire surfaces of the pair of sheet materials are bonded together with the adhesive 13, which reliably prevents the formation of an area where the adhesive 13 is exposed other than the adhesive exposed area R. This makes it possible to provide an attention sticker 1 that reliably prevents the attention sticker 1 from adhering to a product or the like in unintended places other than the adhesive exposed area R. This makes it possible to provide a highly convenient attention sticker 1. Furthermore, by clearly defining the overlapping portions, it becomes easier to fold a sheet of material and position it when adhering the overlapping portions together, resulting in an attention sticker 1 with good manufacturing efficiency and high yield.

[0020] In addition, since the advertising information K is printed on both of the pair of overlapping first sheet material 11 and second sheet material 12 (the overlapping portions of the pair of sheet materials), advertising can be carried out using both one side (front side) and the other side (rear side) of the attention sticker 1. This makes it possible to provide an attention sticker 1 that is highly convenient and has a high advertising effect.

[0021] Next, an attention sticker 4 according to a second embodiment of the present invention and an attention sticker 5 according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs.

[0022] First, referring to Fig. 4, the attention sticker 4 according to the second embodiment of the present invention is obtained by changing the shape of the sheet material of the attention sticker 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention described above. Since the other configurations are the same as the attention sticker 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention described above, the same parts and parts that perform the same functions as the attention sticker 1 are given the same numbers and symbols, and detailed explanations will be omitted below. Furthermore, advertising information is normally printed on the attention sticker 4 as well, but for the sake of convenience, the advertising information is omitted in FIG.

[0023] As shown in Fig. 4, the attention seal 4 is configured to use a sheet material having a shape in which a semicircular upper portion and a rectangular lower portion are integrated as the shape of the first sheet material 14 and the second sheet material 15. In addition, the sheet material has a rectangular adhesive exposed region R. Then, as shown in Fig. 4(b) and Fig. 4(c), the first sheet material 14 and the second sheet material 15 are connected in parallel in the horizontal direction so that part of each side edge becomes the fold line 3. In this way, by arranging the pair of sheet materials in parallel in the horizontal direction, it is possible to more easily determine the positioning when folding back the pair of sheet materials and bonding them together, resulting in an attention sticker 4 with more efficient work and production. Such a configuration is also included in the scope of the present invention.

[0024] Next, referring to Fig. 5, the attention sticker 5 according to the third embodiment of the present invention is obtained by changing the shape of the sheet material of the attention sticker 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention described above. Since the other configurations are the same as the attention sticker 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention described above, the same parts and parts that perform the same functions as the attention sticker 1 are given the same numbers and symbols, and detailed explanations will be omitted below. Furthermore, advertising information is normally printed on the attention sticker 5 as well, but for the sake of convenience, the advertising information is omitted in FIG.

[0025] As shown in Fig. 5, the attention sticker 5 is configured to use a first sheet material 16 and a second sheet material 17, in which the shape of the overlapping portion is a pentagon. In addition, the sheet material is configured to use a rectangular adhesive exposed region R. Then, as shown in Fig. 5(b) and Fig. 5(c), the first sheet material 16 and the second sheet material 17 are connected in parallel in an oblique direction such that one side of each of the upper sides of the first sheet material 16 and the second sheet material 17 is aligned along the fold line 3. In this way, by forming the shape of the overlapping portions of the pair of sheet materials into a pentagon, it is possible to more easily position the pair of sheet materials when they are folded back and bonded to each other, resulting in an attention sticker 5 with even greater work efficiency and manufacturing efficiency. Such a configuration is also included in the scope of the present invention.

[0026] In the attention stickers 1, 4, and 5 according to the first to third embodiments of the present invention, the adhesive exposed area R is provided at the bottom end of the attention stickers 1, 4, and 5, but the location of the adhesive exposed area R is not necessarily limited to this configuration, and it may be provided at another location as long as the adhesive exposed area R where the applied adhesive 13 is exposed is formed as part of the attention sticker. However, in consideration of convenience during use, it is preferable to provide the adhesive exposed area R at the bottom end of the attention sticker. [Industrial Applicability]

[0027] The attention sticker of the present invention has a simple structure, yet is capable of reducing manufacturing costs and enabling more efficient advertising, making it useful in industrial fields related to attention stickers and highly applicable industrially. [Explanation of symbols]
