A coaster capable of design expression by printing using a soft transparent resin

Abstract

Provide a coaster with high design quality that is soft to the touch when a cup or the like is placed on it and has toughness that does not make it disposable. 【Solution means】The high-design transparent soft resin coaster realizes high design expression that takes advantage of transparency by printing on the transparent soft resin and has softness.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention uses a soft transparent resin material, can achieve high design quality through printing that takes advantage of transparency, and is a transparent soft resin coaster that combines softness and toughness.

Background Art

[0002] Generally, coasters with design quality by printing are made of paper. Those with high design quality have demand as collector's items, but they are premised on being disposable and repeated use is not considered. Also, although there are a small number of glass or acrylic coasters as transparent coasters with high design quality, since they are all made of hard materials, they tend to be hard and slippery to use.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0003] Most coasters with design quality by general printing are made of paper and are premised on being disposable, and there are problems with toughness. Some acrylic or glass transparent coasters have both design quality taking advantage of transparency and toughness, but when used as a coaster for placing cups etc., since the material is hard, there are problems in terms of the function of the coaster, such as strong impact, poor usability, and being slippery.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0004] A transparent soft resin coaster is produced using a soft transparent resin material, having high design quality through printing that takes advantage of transparency, and combining softness and firmness.

Effects of the Invention

[0005] By manufacturing coasters from a soft, transparent resin material, it is possible to achieve printing with high design quality and a high degree of design freedom, such as printing from the back side that takes advantage of the transparency and printing that leaves some transparent parts. Moreover, because the material has flexibility and toughness, the coaster has a soft touch when a cup or the like is placed on it and also has toughness so that it is not disposable, realizing a coaster with high design quality.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0007] Print a design pattern on a transparent soft resin material and cut or punch it into a shape suitable for use as a coaster.

Example

[0008] An example will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 is the surface of a coaster capable of design expression by printing using the transparent soft resin of the present invention, which is the surface that comes into contact with a cup or the like when placing a cup or the like. The back surface has a two-color printing layer and a white printing layer. Due to the nature of the transparent material, it is possible to see through the printing layer from the surface of the coaster 1, and when placing any cup, the soft touch and non-slip property of the surface of the coaster 1 realize the function of the coaster at a high level.

Industrial Applicability

[0009] One embodiment of the present invention has the above-described configuration. A transparent soft resin is used for the base material of the coaster, and the specifications of the material for the base material can be changed as required. Regarding the content of the printing to realize the design, the surface to be printed, the color to be printed, and the presence or absence of the white undercoat layer can be changed according to the required specifications and design. For cups and the like to be placed on the coaster of the present invention, the user himself / herself shall prepare them.

Explanation of Signs

Claims

[Claim 1] By printing on transparent soft resin, it is possible to realize high design quality that takes advantage of the transparency, and this highly designed transparent soft resin coaster combines strength and softness.
