Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] The inventor of the present application considered whether it is possible to enhance the effects of business and the like by adding a device with visual movement, rather than simply using a sheet-like printed matter in a folded form for expanding the amount of information. The present invention has been made based on such a problem awareness of the inventor of the present application, and an object thereof is to provide a sheet-like printed matter that produces the effect of slit animation in a folded form and a method for manufacturing the same.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, according to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a sheet-like printed matter including a translucent sheet. The sheet has a first sheet region and a second sheet region divided by a cut formed leaving a local connecting portion. When the sheet is folded at the connecting portion and the first sheet region and the second sheet region are overlapped, the first sheet region and the second sheet region are relatively rotatable about the Connecting part axis. Further, the first sheet region and the second sheet region are printed so as to produce a slit animation along with the relative rotation.

[0006] According to this configuration, by relatively rotating the first sheet region and the second sheet region in a state where they are folded at the connecting portion, the effect of a slit animation can be produced.

[0007] According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a sheet-like printed matter according to the first aspect, wherein at least one of the first sheet region and the second sheet region is further printed with information without producing the slit animation.

[0008] According to this configuration, a sheet-like printed matter can be used as a medium for transmitting information.

[0009] According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a sheet-like printed matter according to the second aspect, wherein the information includes either business card information or advertisement information.

[0010] According to this configuration, a sheet-like printed matter can be used as a business card or an advertisement.

[0011] A fourth aspect of the present invention is a method for manufacturing a sheet-like printed matter, comprising the following processes (a) to (c). (a) Preparing a translucent sheet. (b) Printing on the sheet. (c) Dividing the sheet into a first sheet region and a second sheet region connected through the connecting portion by forming a cut in the sheet while leaving a local connecting portion. The formation of the cut is performed such that when the sheet is folded at the connecting portion and the first sheet region and the second sheet region are overlapped, the first sheet region and the second sheet region can rotate relative to each other about the Connecting part axis. Further, the printing is performed so as to produce a slit animation along with the relative rotation.

[0012] According to this configuration, a sheet-like printed matter capable of producing the effect of a slit animation can be manufactured from a single sheet by relatively rotating the first sheet region and the second sheet region in a state where they are folded at the connecting portion.

Advantages of the Invention

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0015] FIG. 1 is a plan view illustrating the configuration of a sheet-like printed matter according to an embodiment of the present invention, (a) is a plan photographed image of a prototype, (b) is a schematic view schematically representing photograph (a), and (c) is a plan photographed image of the folded prototype. This sheet-like printed matter 101 has a light-transmissive sheet 1. In the illustrated example, the sheet 1 is a transparent plastic sheet and is made of PET (polyethylene terephthalate) with a thickness of 0.1 mm as an example. Printing is performed on the sheet 1. In the illustrated example, the planar shape of the sheet 1 is rectangular, and its dimensions and aspect ratio are equivalent to those obtained by connecting two business cards of standard size (55 mm × 91 mm) horizontally. That is, the horizontal length is set to be larger than the vertical length.

[0016] A cut 3 is formed at the center in the horizontal direction on the sheet 1. In the illustrated example, the cut 3 is formed from the lower end to the upper end with reference to the top and bottom of the print, and is formed so as to leave a local connecting portion 5 at the upper end portion. The sheet 1 is divided into a first sheet region 7 and a second sheet region 9 with the cut 3 as a boundary.

[0017] By folding the sheet 1 at the connecting portion 5, the first sheet region 7 and the second sheet region 9 can be overlapped with each other (see FIG. 1(c)). In the illustrated example, both the first sheet region 7 and the second sheet region 9 have the same shape and size as a business card of standard size. The first sheet region 7 and the second sheet region 9 Connecting part The width (vertical length) of the connecting portion 5 is set so that the first sheet region 7 and the second sheet region 9 can rotate relative to each other about the axis 5. In the illustrated example, the width of the connecting portion 5 is about 1.5 mm. Here, "relative rotation to each other" means that the first sheet region 7 and the second sheet region 9 Connecting part do not open and close about the axis 5, but the overlapping first sheet region 7 and second sheet region 9 rotate relative to each other along their respective main surfaces Connecting part about the axis 5.

[0018] In the illustrated example, the printing applied to Sheet 1 includes printing 11 of business card information such as company name, department name, name, address, and contact information. That is, the sheet-like printed matter 101 is assumed to be used as a business card. The printing applied to Sheet 1 further includes printing 13 and 15 that creates a slit animation when the first sheet area 7 and the second sheet area 9 are overlapped with each other and relatively rotated about the connecting portion 5 (along the main surfaces of both). In the illustrated example, printing 13 is applied to the first sheet area 7 and represents linear strips arranged radially around the connecting portion 5. Printing 15 is applied to the second sheet area 9 and is applied so that as the position of the linear strips of the overlapping printing 13 moves, the portions visible through the gaps between the linear strips are seen to move.

[0019] Figure 2 is a plan view photograph of the prototype when the overlapped first sheet area 7 and second sheet area 9 are relatively rotated with respect to each other from the state of Figure 1(c). Figure 2(a) is a photograph when rotated from the state of Figure 1(c) to about 1 / 3 of the period of the linear strips represented by printing 13, Figure 2(b) is a photograph when rotated to about 2 / 3, and Figure 2(c) is a photograph when rotated to about one period. That is, printing 15 is applied so that the portions of printing 15 visible through the gaps between the linear strips are seen to move in three stages as the linear strips are rotated through one period.

[0020] As described above, since the sheet-like printed matter 101 is provided with not only printing 11 of business card information but also printing 13 and 15 that creates a slit animation, a stronger impression can be given to the person receiving the sheet-like printed matter 101, such as a customer. In addition, since the first sheet area 7 and the second sheet area 9 are connected by the connecting portion 5, which is the portion left on Sheet 1 without forming a cut 3, stapling (stapling), adhesion, etc. are not required for connection.

[0021] FIG. 3 is a plan view illustrating the configuration of a sheet-like printed matter according to another embodiment of the present invention. In this sheet-like printed matter 102, the planar shape of the sheet 1 is a rectangle larger than the size of two standard business cards. In addition to the printing 11 of business card information and the printing 13, 15 for producing a slit animation, the printing 21 of advertisement information of products and services is performed on the second sheet area 9. Further, the cut 3 is formed at a position deviated from the center in the lateral direction of the sheet 1, and is formed so as to extend vertically inward from both the upper end and the lower end, and a connecting portion 5 is formed in the portion sandwiched therebetween. The present invention can also be implemented in such a form.

[0022] (Other Embodiments) In the sheet-like printed matters 101 and 102, the planar shape of the sheet 1 is rectangular. Thereby, when manufacturing the sheet-like printed matters 101 and 102, an advantage is obtained in that the yield of the material of the sheet 1 is good. On the other hand, for example, in the sheet-like printed matter 102, it is also possible to make the planar shape of the sheet 1 a shape other than a rectangle, such as making the vertical length of the first sheet area 7 shorter than the vertical length of the second sheet area 9.
