[0009] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a configuration of a packaging sheet according to a first embodiment. [Diagram 2] 1 is a perspective view showing a state in which a bundle of copy papers is wrapped in the wrapping paper of the first embodiment; FIG. [Diagram 3] FIG. 11 is a plan view showing a configuration of a packaging sheet according to a second embodiment. [Figure 4] 13 is a perspective view showing a state in which a bundle of copy papers is wrapped in wrapping paper according to a second embodiment. FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0010] A wrapping paper according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The wrapping paper according to the first embodiment is a rectangular paper for wrapping a stack of copy paper. In this embodiment, a wrapping paper for wrapping a stack of 500 A4 size (210×297 mm) copy paper will be described as an example. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of the surface of the wrapping paper according to the first embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a state in which a stack of copy paper is wrapped in the wrapping paper according to the first embodiment.

[0011] After wrapping, the length L of the wrapping paper 2 in the longitudinal direction DL, which is the direction of the long side of the copy paper, is 371 to 373 mm. Of the lengths L, from the top of the page in Fig. 1, length L1 corresponds to 0.5 to 1 times the thickness of the stack of copy paper and is 37 to 38 mm in this embodiment, length L2 corresponds to the length in the long side direction of the copy paper and is 297 mm in this embodiment, and length L3 corresponds to 0.5 to 1 times the thickness of the stack of copy paper and is 37 to 38 mm in this embodiment.

[0012] After wrapping, the width D of the wrapping paper 2 in the width direction DW, which is the short side direction of the copy paper, is 550 mm. Of the widths D, from the left side of the paper in Fig. 1, width D1 corresponds to half the length of the short side direction of the copy paper and is 105 mm in this embodiment, width D2 corresponds to the thickness of the stack of copy paper and is 45 mm in this embodiment, width D3 corresponds to the length of the short side direction of the copy paper and is 210 mm in this embodiment, width D4 corresponds to the thickness of the stack of copy paper and is 45 mm in this embodiment, and width D5 corresponds to half the length of the short side direction of the copy paper plus the width (40 mm) of the adhesive area 6 (described later), and is 145 mm in this embodiment.

[0013] In the wrapping paper 2, a plurality of two-dimensional codes 4 are printed at intervals of length G1 (74 to 75 mm in this embodiment) in the length direction DL and width G2 (105 mm in this embodiment) in the width direction DW in an area A that will be surface P (the surface on the non-opening side of the two widest surfaces of a hexahedron) shown in FIG. 2 after wrapping and in the surrounding area. In addition, for example, the two-dimensional code 4a and the two-dimensional code 4b shown in FIG. 1, and the two-dimensional code 4a and the two-dimensional code 4c shown in FIG. 1 are printed in a staggered pattern as shown in FIG. 1. That is, the two-dimensional code 4 (for example, the two-dimensional code 4a) is printed at a position shifted by a predetermined distance (<width G2) in the width direction DW from the two-dimensional code 4 (for example, the two-dimensional code 4b or 4c) that is separated by the length G1 in the length direction DL.

[0014] The two-dimensional code 4 records information on mail-order sites selling stationery and other related products that coexist with copy paper, product sites and product catalogs introducing consumables such as toner used in printers, copiers and multifunction machines, the homepage of the manufacturer that produces copy paper and the manufacturer, and mail-order sites selling other products handled by the manufacturer. The two-dimensional code 4 may be printed in an area other than area A and its vicinity, for example, the entire area. In addition, although one side of the rectangular two-dimensional code 4 is printed parallel to the length direction DL in Figures 1 and 2, it may be printed at an angle to the length direction DL.

[0015] When wrapping a stack of copy paper, wrapping paper 2 is placed with its back side facing up, the stack of copy paper to be wrapped is placed in area A shown in Figure 1, mountain folds 8a, 8b, 8c, and 8d shown by dotted and dashed lines are mountain folded, adhesive is applied to the back of adhesive area 6 shown by diagonal lines in Figure 1, areas B and C which will become the bottom in the wrapped state are glued in the overlapping area, valley folds 12a-12h shown by dashed lines are valley folds, mountain folds 14a-14h shown by dotted and dashed lines are mountain folds, mountain folds 10a and 10b shown by dotted and dashed lines are mountain folds, and the overlapping areas which will become face F and the back surface shown in Figure 2 in the wrapped state are glued to wrap the stack of copy paper (see Figure 2).

[0016] Next, a method for manufacturing packaging paper for manufacturing packaging paper 2 according to the first embodiment using a packaging paper manufacturing device (rotary printing machine) for manufacturing packaging paper will be described. First, a base paper for packaging paper 2 wound in a roll is prepared. The width of the base paper is twice the width D of packaging paper 2. When the base paper is set in the packaging paper manufacturing device, a control unit that controls each unit of the packaging paper manufacturing device pulls out the base paper wound in a roll, and prints a two-dimensional code 4 by pressing a printing cylinder with a printing plate wrapped around it against a predetermined area on the surface of the base paper (an area of ​​the base paper that will be area A and its neighboring area shown in FIG. 1 after cutting) and rotating it. The two-dimensional codes 4 are printed at intervals of 74 to 75 mm in the length direction of the base paper and at intervals of 105 mm in the width direction of the base paper, and are further printed at positions where the two-dimensional codes 4 are offset in the width direction of the base paper by 74 to 75 mm apart in the length direction of the base paper. Then, the control unit dries the base paper, and then cuts it so that the width is divided into two equal parts, and cuts it into lengths of 371 to 373 mm.

[0017] According to the packaging paper 2 and the manufacturing method of the packaging paper according to the first embodiment, the two-dimensional code 4 is printed at a position where it is easily visible. In addition, since the two-dimensional code 4 is printed at intervals of 74 to 75 mm in the length direction of the packaging paper 2, even if the packaging paper 2 is misaligned in the length direction during the manufacturing process (no matter where it is cut in the length direction), at least three complete two-dimensional codes 4 are printed in the length direction DL of the surface (surface P shown in FIG. 2) that is most widely and conspicuous in the packaged state. In addition, since the two-dimensional code 4 is printed at intervals of 105 mm in the width direction of the packaging paper 2, even if the packaging paper 2 is misaligned in the width direction during the manufacturing process, at least one complete two-dimensional code 4 is printed in the width direction DW of the surface (surface P shown in FIG. 2) that is most widely and conspicuous in the packaged state. Furthermore, since a plurality of two-dimensional codes 4 are printed in a staggered pattern, it is possible to provide a packaging paper that is not only practical but also has excellent design.

[0018] In the above-mentioned first embodiment, an example was given of the case where the two-dimensional codes 4 are printed at intervals of 105 mm in the width direction DW of the packaging paper 2, but the two-dimensional codes 4 may also be printed at intervals of 10 to 200 mm in the width direction DW of the packaging paper 2, which is the short side direction of the copy paper after packaging.

[0019] Next, a packaging paper according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The packaging paper according to the second embodiment is a rectangular packaging paper for packaging a stack of 500 B5 size (182×257 mm) copy papers. The same components as those of the packaging paper 2 shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are designated by the same reference numerals in the packaging paper according to the second embodiment, and illustration and description thereof will be omitted. The size of the packaging paper according to the second embodiment is different from that of the packaging paper 2 according to the first embodiment (see FIG. 1 and FIG. 2), but the same reference numerals as those attached to the packaging paper 2 shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 will be used to describe the size of the packaging paper according to the second embodiment. The manufacturing method of the packaging paper according to the second embodiment is the same as that of the packaging paper 2 according to the first embodiment, and description thereof will be omitted. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the configuration of the surface of the packaging paper according to the second embodiment, and FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a state in which a stack of copy papers is wrapped with the packaging paper according to the second embodiment.

[0020] After wrapping, length L of wrapping paper 22 in the longitudinal direction DL, which is the direction of the long side of the copy paper, is 341 to 343 mm. Of lengths L, from the top of the page in Fig. 3, length L1 corresponds to 0.5 to 1 times the thickness of the stack of copy paper and is 42 to 43 mm in this embodiment, length L2 corresponds to the length in the long side direction of the copy paper and is 257 mm in this embodiment, and length L3 corresponds to 0.5 to 1 times the thickness of the stack of copy paper and is 42 to 43 mm in this embodiment.

[0021] After wrapping, the width D of the wrapping paper 22 in the width direction DW, which is the short side direction of the copy paper, is 484 mm. Of the widths D, from the left side of the paper in Fig. 3, width D1 corresponds to half the length of the short side direction of the copy paper and is 91 mm in this embodiment, width D2 corresponds to the thickness of the stack of copy paper and is 45 mm in this embodiment, width D3 corresponds to the length of the short side direction of the copy paper and is 182 mm in this embodiment, width D4 corresponds to the thickness of the stack of copy paper and is 45 mm in this embodiment, and width D5 corresponds to half the length of the short side direction of the copy paper plus the width (30 mm) of the adhesive area 6 (described later), and is 121 mm in this embodiment.

[0022] On the packaging paper 22, a plurality of two-dimensional codes 4 are printed at intervals of length G1 (84 to 85 mm in this embodiment) in the length direction DL and width G2 (91 mm in this embodiment) in the width direction DW in the area A that will be the surface P shown in FIG. 4 after packaging and in the surrounding area. Also, for example, the two-dimensional code 4a and the two-dimensional code 4b shown in FIG. 3, and the two-dimensional code 4a and the two-dimensional code 4c are printed in a staggered pattern as shown in FIG. 3. That is, the two-dimensional code 4 (for example, the two-dimensional code 4a) is printed at a position shifted by a predetermined distance (<width G2) in the width direction DW from the two-dimensional code 4 (for example, the two-dimensional code 4b or 4c) that is separated by the length G1 in the length direction DL. The two-dimensional code 4 according to the second embodiment may also be printed in an area other than the area A and the surrounding area, for example, the entire area. Also, although the two-dimensional code 4 is printed parallel to the length direction DL in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, it may be printed at an angle to the length direction DL.

[0023] According to the packaging paper 22 and the manufacturing method of the packaging paper according to the second embodiment, the two-dimensional code 4 is printed at a position where it is easily visible. In addition, since the two-dimensional code 4 is printed at intervals of 84 to 85 mm in the length direction of the packaging paper 2, even if a deviation occurs in the length direction during the manufacturing process of the packaging paper 2 (no matter where the packaging paper 2 is cut in the length direction), at least two complete two-dimensional codes 4 without any missing pieces are printed in the length direction of the most widely noticeable surface (surface P shown in FIG. 4) in the packaged state. In addition, since the two-dimensional code 4 is printed at intervals of 91 mm in the width direction of the packaging paper 2, even if a deviation occurs in the width direction during the manufacturing process of the packaging paper 2, at least one complete two-dimensional code 4 without any missing pieces is printed in the width direction of the most widely noticeable surface (surface P shown in FIG. 4) in the packaged state. Furthermore, since a plurality of two-dimensional codes 4 are printed in a staggered pattern, a packaging paper that is not only practical but also has excellent design can be provided.

[0024] In the above-mentioned second embodiment, an example was given of the case where the two-dimensional codes 4 are printed at intervals of 91 mm in the width direction DW of the packaging paper 22, but the two-dimensional codes 4 may also be printed at intervals of 10 to 170 mm in the width direction DW of the packaging paper 22, which is the short side direction of the copy paper after packaging.

[0025] In the above-mentioned first embodiment, the wrapping papers 2 and 22 are described for packaging A4 size copy paper, and in the second embodiment, B5 size copy paper, but the present invention can also be applied to wrapping papers for packaging copy paper of sizes other than A4 or B5 (A3, A5, B4, etc.), and the number of wrapped copy paper sheets can be adjusted appropriately according to the sales format. In the first embodiment, the length L of the length direction DL of the wrapping paper 2 is 371 to 373 mm, and in the second embodiment, the length L of the length direction DL of the wrapping paper 22 is 341 to 343 mm, but the length in the length direction is set appropriately, specifically within the range of 200 to 700 mm, preferably 210 to 500 mm, depending on the size of the wrapped copy paper and the thickness of the bundle of copy paper.

[0026] In the first embodiment, six complete two-dimensional codes 4 are printed on the surface P of the wrapping paper 2, and in the second embodiment, four complete two-dimensional codes 4 are printed on the surface P of the wrapping paper 22. However, two to fifteen two-dimensional codes may be printed on the non-opening side of the two widest surfaces of the hexahedron, depending on the size of the copy paper to be wrapped. When the number of complete two-dimensional codes displayed on the surface P is X, the two-dimensional codes are printed at intervals of 200 to 700 / (X+2) mm (X is a natural number between 2 and 15) in the length direction of the wrapping paper, depending on the size of the copy paper to be wrapped. Depending on the size of the copy paper to be wrapped, the two-dimensional codes and the two-dimensional codes spaced 200 to 700 / (X+2) mm in the length direction from the two-dimensional codes are printed at positions shifted in the width direction of the wrapping paper.

[0027] Furthermore, on the wrapping paper used to wrap A3 size copy paper, the two-dimensional codes are printed at intervals of 10 to 280 mm in the width direction of the wrapping paper, which is the direction of the short side of the copy paper after packaging.On the wrapping paper used to wrap B4 size copy paper, the two-dimensional codes are printed at intervals of 10 to 240 mm in the width direction of the wrapping paper, which is the direction of the short side of the copy paper after packaging.
