[0004] In recent years, in response to the growing need for environmental protection, there has been a shift to using environmentally friendly materials such as paper for POP labels. However, POP labels made of paper have the problem of being prone to deformation, such as curling, due to moisture absorption. When a POP label curls, it may lose its original function of attracting consumers' attention, which is undesirable.

[0005] The present invention was made in consideration of these circumstances, and its objective is to provide a POP label that can suppress curling. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The POP label of the present invention is a POP label having an adhesive portion configured to be affixed to an adherend and a protruding portion configured to be able to protrude away from the adherend, and is provided with a mixed paper layer, a first printed layer laminated on one side of the mixed paper layer, and an adhesive layer positioned on the other side of the mixed paper layer at least in a position corresponding to the adhesive portion.

[0007] With this configuration, the POP label can be prevented from curling.

[0008] In the POP label according to the present invention, the mixed paper layer may have a thickness of 30 μm or more and 180 μm or less.

[0009] With this configuration, the POP label can be further prevented from curling.

[0010] In the POP label according to the present invention, the adhesive layer may be formed from a hot melt adhesive and / or an acrylic adhesive.

[0011] With this configuration, the POP label can be suitably attached to an adherend.

[0012] The POP label according to the present invention may further include a second print layer laminated on the other side of the mixed paper layer.

[0013] With this configuration, the POP label can increase the printable area, allowing more product features, catchy slogans, campaign information, and the like to be displayed. [Effects of the Invention]

[0014] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a POP label that can suppress curling. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0015] [Figure 1]FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing the structure of a POP label 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0016] Hereinafter, a POP label 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0017] 1 is a cross-sectional schematic diagram showing the configuration of a POP label 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention. The POP label 1 has an adhesive portion 2 that can be attached to an adherend, and a protruding portion 3 that can protrude away from the adherend. When the adhesive portion 2 is attached to the adherend, the protruding portion 3 protrudes away from the surface of the adherend, so that the POP label 1 functions as a POP label that can attract consumers' attention.

[0018] The POP label 1 comprises a mixed paper layer 4, a first printed layer 51 laminated on one side of the mixed paper layer 4, a second printed layer 52 laminated on the other side of the mixed paper layer 4, and an adhesive layer 6 disposed on the other side of the mixed paper layer 4 at a position corresponding to the adhesive portion 2. In this specification, the direction in which the layers constituting the POP label 1 are laminated is referred to as the "lamination direction."

[0019] The mixed paper layer 4 is made of mixed paper. Mixed paper is obtained by mixing materials other than wood pulp when manufacturing paper. Examples of materials other than wood pulp include coffee grounds, tea leaves, vegetable and fruit fibers, eggshells, and clothing fibers.

[0020] From the viewpoint of suppressing curling of the POP label 1, the thickness of the mixed paper layer 4 is preferably 30 μm or more and 180 μm or less, and more preferably 40 μm or more and 100 μm or less.

[0021] The first printed layer 51 and the second printed layer 52 are formed from a conventionally known printing ink. More specifically, the first printed layer 51 and the second printed layer 52 are formed from printing inks that are tightly packed on the entire surface of the mixed paper layer 4. Examples of conventionally known printing inks include colored inks containing a colorant such as a pigment blended with a binder resin such as an acrylic resin, a polyurethane resin, a polyester resin, a cellulose resin, a polyamide resin, a polyolefin resin, a polyvinyl chloride resin, a polycarbonate resin, a phenolic resin, or a UV-curable resin, and colorless and transparent inks such as medium inks. The pigment is not particularly limited, and organic or inorganic pigments can be used. Examples of organic pigments include azo pigments, phthalocyanine pigments, quinacridone pigments, isoindolinone pigments, perylene pigments, metal complex pigments, and carbon black. Examples of inorganic pigments include titanium oxide, barium oxide, zinc oxide, iron oxide, cobalt oxide, chromium oxide, silica, aluminum, mica, yellow lead, pearl pigments, brass, etc. The printing method for the printing ink is not particularly limited, and examples include thermal transfer, inkjet, gravure printing, UV flexographic printing, UV resin letterpress printing, etc.

[0022] The first printed layer 51 and the second printed layer 52 have the same shape and size as the mixed paper layer 4 when viewed in the stacking direction. In this specification, "same" means "same" taking tolerances into consideration. From the viewpoint of suppressing curling of the POP label 1, the thickness of the first printed layer 51 and the second printed layer 52 is preferably 1 μm or more and 15 μm or less, and more preferably 2 μm or more and 10 μm or less.

[0023] The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 6 is formed from, for example, a hot melt adhesive, an acrylic (methacrylic)-based pressure-sensitive adhesive, a rubber-based pressure-sensitive adhesive, a silicone-based pressure-sensitive adhesive, etc. From the viewpoint of favorable adhesion to the adherend, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 6 is preferably formed from a hot melt adhesive and / or an acrylic-based pressure-sensitive adhesive.

[0024] The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 6 is formed from an adhesive or pressure-sensitive adhesive that is tightly arranged over the entire surface at a position corresponding to the attachment portion 2. The method for forming the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 6 is not particularly limited, and examples include attaching a sheet-like adhesive or pressure-sensitive adhesive, or coating or printing a liquid adhesive or pressure-sensitive adhesive.

[0025] From the viewpoint of suppressing curling of the POP label 1, the thickness of the adhesive layer 6 is preferably 5 μm or more and 40 μm or less, and more preferably 8 μm or more and 30 μm or less.

[0026] By configuring the POP label 1 in this way, in the attachment portion 2, the first printed layer 51, the mixed paper layer 4, the second printed layer 52, and the adhesive layer 6 are laminated in this order, and the label is attached to the surface of the adherend via the adhesive layer 6. In addition, in the protruding portion 3, the first printed layer 51, the mixed paper layer 4, and the second printed layer 52 are laminated in this order, and protrude away from the surface of the adherend without adhering to it.

[0027] The POP label 1 can be used, for example, by attaching the adhesive portion 2 to an adherend so that the protruding portion 3 is located above the adhesive portion 2 (i.e., so that the protruding portion 3 protrudes upward and away from the surface of the adherend). The adherend is not particularly limited, and examples include various containers such as containers for storing cooked food, beverage containers, seasoning containers, sanitary containers for shampoo, detergent, etc., daily necessities containers for storing daily necessities, cosmetic containers, pharmaceutical containers, and paper packaging boxes.

[0028] The POP label 1 of the present invention is a POP label 1 having an adhesive portion 2 configured to be able to be attached to an adherend, and a protruding portion 3 configured to be able to protrude away from the adherend, and by comprising a mixed paper layer 4, a first printed layer 51 laminated on one side of the mixed paper layer 4, and an adhesive layer 6 arranged on the other side of the mixed paper layer 4 at a position corresponding to the adhesive portion 2, curling of the POP label 1 can be suppressed.

[0029] In the POP label 1 according to the present invention, the thickness of the mixed paper layer 4 is 30 μm or more and 180 μm or less, so that curling of the POP label 1 can be further suppressed.

[0030] The POP label 1 according to the present invention can be suitably attached to an adherend because the adhesive layer 6 is formed from a hot melt adhesive and / or an acrylic adhesive.

[0031] The POP label 1 of the present invention further includes a second printing layer 52 laminated on the other side of the mixed paper layer 4, thereby increasing the printable area and allowing more product features, catchy slogans, campaign information, etc. to be displayed.

[0032] Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0033] For example, the POP label 1 in the above embodiment has a second printed layer 52, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and the second printed layer 52 may not be provided, and the mixed paper layer 4 and the adhesive layer 6 may be in contact with each other.

[0034] In the POP label 1 according to the above embodiment, the adhesive layer 6 is disposed in a position corresponding to the attachment portion 2, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and it is sufficient that the adhesive layer 6 is disposed at least in a position corresponding to the attachment portion 2. For example, the adhesive layer 6 may also be disposed in a position corresponding to the protrusion 3, and a film may be applied to the adhesive layer 6, or varnish may be applied or printed on the adhesive layer 6 to perform a glue-killing treatment that eliminates the adhesiveness of the adhesive layer 6 disposed in the position corresponding to the protrusion 3.

[0035] In the POP label 1 according to the above embodiment, the adhesive layer 6 is formed from an adhesive or adhesive that is arranged without gaps throughout (so-called solid coating) at a position corresponding to the attachment portion 2. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and the adhesive layer 6 may be formed from an adhesive or adhesive that is arranged to form, for example, a design or pattern (i.e., with partial gaps).

[0036] The POP label 1 according to the above embodiment has been described as having the same shape and size as viewed in the stacking direction of the first printed layer 51, the mixed paper layer 4, and the second printed layer 52. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and the shapes and sizes of the layers as viewed in the stacking direction do not have to be the same.
