Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to pseudo-adhesive labels. [Background technology]

[0002] A pseudo-adhesive label is a label that can be easily peeled from the substrate at the pseudo-adhesive interface after being attached to an adherend. Pseudo-adhesive labels have been put to practical use as, for example, shipping labels, information concealment labels, etc.

[0003] In recent years, mail-order sales via the Internet and television shopping have become widespread, and as a result, distribution methods in which delivery companies deliver products on behalf of product sellers are becoming more common. In such distribution methods, delivery companies package items (products) in packaging materials such as cardboard boxes or paper boxes, affix a delivery label containing information about the delivery destination to the surface of the packaging material, and deliver the items to the purchaser based on this information.

[0004] Such a delivery label is known, for example, as described in Patent Document 1. This label comprises a first thermal substrate, a resin layer serving as a pseudo-adhesive layer made of a hot melt adhesive containing a thermoplastic resin and having pseudo-adhesion, a second thermal substrate, an adhesive layer, and a release sheet, laminated in this order so as to form a pseudo-adhesion between the resin layer and the second thermal substrate. A receipt stamp field along with information about the delivery destination is written on the surface of the first thermal substrate. After the delivery destination confirms receipt in the receipt stamp field, the resin layer and the second thermal substrate are peeled off at their interface, and the peeled laminate of the first thermal substrate and resin layer is collected and managed as proof of delivery completion.

[0005] In the past, shipping labels were often attached to packaging materials such as cardboard boxes and paper boxes, but recently, soft packaging materials such as plastic bags and paper bags have been used to eliminate dead space during transportation. In the case of soft bags, if the bag is bent during delivery, the shipping label attached to the bag will also be bent.

[0006] In addition, the use of irregular boxes that fit the shape of the contents, such as boxes with one side that is polygonal, such as triangular or trapezoidal, or boxes with uneven or curved surfaces, is also increasing. Depending on the shape and size of the box, the shipping label may be affixed in a bent state across two adjacent corners rather than just on the flat part of the box.

[0007] When the shipping label is bent in this manner, stress is applied to the bent portion, which may cause peeling at the surface of the pseudo-adhesive layer during shipping. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0021] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. [1] Pseudo adhesive label FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a preferred embodiment of the pseudo-adhesive label of the present invention.

[0022] The pseudo adhesive label 1 of this embodiment comprises a substrate 10, a pseudo adhesive layer 20 provided on one side of the substrate 10, and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 30 provided adjacent to the pseudo adhesive layer 20 on the side opposite the substrate 10, and the pseudo adhesive layer 20 contains a copolymer of ethylene and other monomers and is configured to be peeled off at the interface A between the substrate 10 and the pseudo adhesive layer 20.

[0023] In this specification, "pseudo-adhesion" refers to an adhesion in which separation by interlayer peeling is possible at the interface between one layer and another layer that are bonded under specific conditions (e.g., a combination of materials and a temperature range), but which does not exhibit re-adhesion or re-stickiness after separation.

[0024] In the case of the pseudo-adhesive label 1 of this embodiment, it can be peeled off at the interface A between the substrate 10 as one layer and the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 as the other layer, and after peeling, the surface of the substrate 10 on the interface A side and the surface of the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 on the interface A side do not exhibit re-adhesion or re-stickiness.

[0025] In the pseudo-adhesive label 1 of this embodiment, the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 contains a copolymer of ethylene and another monomer, which allows the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 to have a low Young's modulus and high stress relaxation properties while maintaining sufficient pseudo-adhesive strength. This prevents the substrate 10 from unintentionally peeling off from the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 even when the pseudo-adhesive label 1 is attached to the corner of a box, an uneven surface, a curved surface, or the like in a bent state as the adherend 100, or when the pseudo-adhesive label 1 is attached to a soft bag and bent. This makes it possible to provide a pseudo-adhesive label 1 that is suitably prevented from unintentionally peeling off the surface of the pseudo-adhesive layer 20, i.e., at the interface between the substrate 10 and the pseudo-adhesive layer 20, during use (for example, during delivery when the pseudo-adhesive label 1 is used as a shipping label).

[0026] Furthermore, in the pseudo-adhesive label 1, the substrate 10 can be conveniently peeled off from the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 when necessary, for example, after delivery.

[0027] It is believed that such excellent effects are obtained because the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 contains a copolymer of ethylene and another monomer.

[0028] On the other hand, if the above conditions are not met, satisfactory results will not be obtained. For example, if the pseudo adhesive layer 20 of the pseudo adhesive label 1 does not contain a copolymer of ethylene and another monomer, it is not possible to impart a low Young's modulus and high stress relaxation properties to the pseudo adhesive layer 20. As a result, it is not possible to sufficiently prevent the substrate 10 from unintentionally peeling off from the pseudo adhesive layer 20.

[0029] In the following explanation, the pseudo adhesive label 1 of this embodiment will be mainly described as being used as a shipping label, but the use of the pseudo adhesive label 1 of this embodiment is not limited to this.

[0030] [1-1] Base material The substrate 10 is not particularly limited, and may be appropriately selected from substrates used in conventional pseudo-adhesive labels depending on the intended use of the pseudo-adhesive label 1.

[0031] Examples of the substrate 10 include paper, resin film, synthetic paper, etc. The substrate 10 may also be a laminated sheet in which two or more layers of these are laminated together.

[0032] Examples of papers that can be used as the substrate 10 include thermal paper, kraft paper, fine paper, glassine paper, parchment paper, rayon paper, and coated paper.

[0033] Examples of resin films that can be used as the substrate 10 include films of polyester resins, polyvinyl chloride resins, polyvinylidene chloride resins, and polyolefin resins.

[0034] The substrate 10 is preferably a paper material, more preferably a thermal paper, a kraft paper, a wood-free paper, or a glassine paper.

[0035] It is preferable that the surface of the substrate 10 that forms the surface of the pseudo adhesive label 1, in other words, the surface opposite to the side on which the pseudo adhesive layer 20 is provided, be capable of being labeled with various pieces of identification information.

[0036] In the pseudo adhesive label 1, the substrate 10 is, for example, an information display substrate that displays information about the adherend 100. For example, if the adherend 100 is a delivery item and the pseudo adhesive label 1 is used as a delivery label, the information about the adherend 100 may include the sender, destination, and delivery company's name or title, address, telephone number, and the contents of the delivery item.

[0037] The information may be displayed using characters, symbols, graphics, or any combination thereof, and may also be displayed using two-dimensional codes such as barcodes and QR codes (registered trademark). This information is printed, for example, by a thermal printer.

[0038] When the substrate 10 is thermal paper, the substrate 10 has a thermosensitive coloring layer (not shown) on the surface opposite to the side on which the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 is provided. This makes it possible to print or imprint on the surface of the substrate 10 using a thermal printer or the like.

[0039] The thermosensitive coloring layer may contain, for example, a leuco dye and a color developer that reacts with the leuco dye.

[0040] The thermosensitive color-developing layer is suitably formed, for example, by applying a coating liquid containing the above-mentioned leuco dye and color developer as well as appropriate binders, waxes, solvents, etc. to the surface of the substrate 10 opposite to the side on which the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 is arranged.

[0041] The thickness of the substrate 10 is not particularly limited, but is preferably 10.0 μm or more and 200.0 μm or less, more preferably 20.0 μm or more and 150.0 μm or less, and even more preferably 30.0 μm or more and 100.0 μm or less.

[0042] This improves ease of handling when the pseudo adhesive label 1 is attached to the adherend 100, when the substrate 10 is peeled from the pseudo adhesive layer 20, and when the peeled substrate 10 is handled.

[0043] In the following description, the composition for forming the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 will also be referred to as a "pseudo-adhesive layer-forming composition."

[0044] The pseudo adhesive label 1 of this embodiment has only one substrate 10, and therefore the material cost can be reduced compared to pseudo adhesive labels having multiple substrates.

[0045] Furthermore, since there is only one substrate 10, for example, the process of applying the composition for forming a pseudo-adhesive layer onto the substrate 10 only needs to be done once, which reduces the number of manufacturing steps and also reduces manufacturing costs.

[0046] Furthermore, since there is only one substrate 10, the thickness of the entire label can be made thin, which makes it possible to save space when storing multiple pseudo-adhesive labels 1 in a stacked state.

[0047] [1-2] Pseudo adhesive layer The pseudo-adhesive layer 20 is laminated to the substrate 10 so as to be pseudo-adhered to the substrate 10, and the interface A between the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 and the substrate 10 is in close contact with the substrate 10 with a peeling force sufficient to allow easy peeling when necessary.

[0048] The pseudo-adhesive layer 20 contains a copolymer of ethylene and another monomer as a thermoplastic resin that does not have tackiness at room temperature.

[0049] Conventionally, polyethylene resin has often been selected as the thermoplastic resin constituting the pseudo-adhesive layer from the viewpoints of ease of processing, availability, and the like.

[0050] By copolymerizing ethylene with other monomers (monomers other than ethylene), the crystallinity is reduced and the flexibility of the resin can be increased compared to polyethylene resin, which is a polymer of ethylene alone.

[0051] In other words, by using a copolymer of ethylene and other monomers as the thermoplastic resin constituting the pseudo-adhesive layer 20, it is possible to achieve appropriate pseudo-adhesion while giving the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 a low Young's modulus and high stress relaxation properties.

[0052] Furthermore, by using a copolymer of ethylene and another monomer for the pseudo-adhesive layer 20, when the substrate 10 is a paper substrate, better pseudo-adhesion can be achieved between the substrate and the paper substrate.

[0053] Examples of copolymers of ethylene and other monomers that constitute the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 include ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, ethylene-acrylic acid ester copolymer, ethylene-butene copolymer, ethylene-octene copolymer, etc., and one or a combination of two or more selected from these can be used, but ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer is preferred. This makes the above-mentioned effects more pronounced.

[0054] When the pseudo adhesive layer 20 contains an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer as a copolymer of ethylene and other monomers, the proportion of the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer in the entire copolymer of ethylene and other monomers constituting the pseudo adhesive layer 20 is preferably 50% by mass or more, more preferably 70% by mass or more, and even more preferably 90% by mass or more.

[0055] In the following description, the case where the copolymer of ethylene and another monomer is an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (that is, a copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate) will be mainly described.

[0056] The copolymerization ratio of vinyl acetate in the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, i.e., the ratio of vinyl acetate as a monomer to all constituent monomers that make up the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, is preferably 3% by mass or more and 15% by mass or less, more preferably 4% by mass or more and 12% by mass or less, and even more preferably 5% by mass or more and 9% by mass or less.

[0057] This allows the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 to have more suitable flexibility while maintaining a suitable pseudo-adhesive strength, making the effects of the present invention as described above more pronounced, and more effectively preventing the label from tearing or curling even when the substrate 10 is peeled off at high speed.

[0058] The copolymerization form of ethylene and vinyl acetate in the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer is not particularly limited. Examples of the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer include a random copolymer, an alternating copolymer, a block copolymer, and a graft copolymer. Among these, a random copolymer is preferred.

[0059] This makes it possible to impart more suitable flexibility to the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, thereby making the above-mentioned effects of the present invention more pronounced.

[0060] The softening point of the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer is preferably 50°C or higher and 100°C or lower, and more preferably 70°C or higher and lower than 90°C.

[0061] This prevents the pseudo adhesive label 1 from having tackiness at room temperature, improving its heat resistance, and preventing the pseudo adhesive layer 20 from softening even when temperatures rise, for example, in the summer, improving adhesive stability. Furthermore, the coating temperature can be lowered when the pseudo adhesive layer-forming composition is applied to the substrate 10, so that, for example, even when thermal paper is used for the substrate 10, the thermal paper can be more reliably prevented from changing color due to heat during application.

[0062] The softening point can be adjusted by, for example, appropriately selecting the copolymerization ratio of vinyl acetate in the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, the molecular weight, the molecular weight distribution, the ratio of low molecular weight components to high molecular weight components, etc.

[0063] As described above, the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 has pseudo-adhesion to the substrate 10, and the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 and the substrate 10 are adhered to each other with a peeling force that allows them to be easily peeled off.

[0064] The pseudo-adhesion strength between the substrate 10 and the pseudo-adhesive layer 20, measured at a peel speed of 0.3 m / min in the 180° peel test specified in JIS Z 0237:2009, is preferably 200 mN / 50 mm or more and 900 mN / 50 mm or less, more preferably 250 mN / 50 mm or more and 850 mN / 50 mm or less, and even more preferably 300 mN / 50 mm or more and 800 mN / 50 mm or less.

[0065] This more reliably prevents the substrate 10 from unintentionally peeling off from the pseudo-adhesive layer 20, and, for example, when necessary, when the substrate 10 is manually peeled off from the pseudo-adhesive layer 20, the peeling can be performed more smoothly with relatively little peeling resistance while preventing the substrate 10 from breaking.

[0066] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned peel test, i.e., the 180° peel test specified in JIS Z 0237:2009, the pseudo-adhesion strength between the substrate 10 and the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 measured at a peel speed of 10 m / min is preferably 4000 mN / 50 mm or more and 9500 mN / 50 mm or less, more preferably 4000 mN / 50 mm or more and 8000 mN / 50 mm or less, and even more preferably 4000 mN / 50 mm or more and 7000 mN / 50 mm or less.

[0067] This provides the same effects as those described above. Furthermore, when the substrate 10 is peeled from the pseudo-adhesive layer 20, curling of the substrate 10 is more effectively prevented even when the substrate 10 is peeled at high speed, and the peeled substrate 10 becomes easier to handle when stored.

[0068] Furthermore, curling of the peeled substrate 10 is prevented, which allows for suitable reading of information recorded on the peeled substrate 10. Furthermore, when peeled substrates 10 are stacked and stored as delivery slips or the like, bulkiness can be effectively prevented, which contributes to space saving in storage locations.

[0069] As described above, the pseudo adhesive layer 20 has pseudo adhesive strength at interface A with the substrate 10 that allows it to be peeled off when necessary, but on the other hand, at interface B between the pseudo adhesive layer 20 and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 30, the adhesion is stronger than the peel strength at interface A between the pseudo adhesive layer 20 and the substrate 10. Therefore, when the pseudo adhesive label 1 from which the release liner 40 has been peeled is attached to the adherend 100 by the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 30, if the substrate 10 side is peeled off by hand, etc., the substrate 10 will be peeled off from the pseudo adhesive layer 20.

[0070] The Young's modulus of the pseudo adhesive layer 20 is preferably 20 MPa or more and 80 MPa or less, more preferably 30 MPa or more and 70 MPa or less, and even more preferably 40 MPa or more and 60 MPa or less.

[0071] This gives the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 appropriate flexibility, so that, for example, when the pseudo-adhesive label 1 is folded, the stress applied to the folded portion can be more appropriately alleviated, and unintentional peeling of the substrate 10 from the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 can be more reliably prevented.

[0072] In this specification, "Young's modulus" refers to a value measured by a method conforming to the "tensile modulus" described in JIS K7161-1:2014 and JIS K 7127:1999.

[0073] The pseudo-adhesive layer 20 is a rectangular sample piece 15 mm wide and 200 mm long, and the sample piece is subjected to a tensile test in which the measurement range is 100 mm long and the sample piece is stretched 5% in the longitudinal direction at a speed of 0.2 m / min in an environment of 23°C and 50% RH. When the initial stress value measured is S1 [MPa] and the residual stress value 5 minutes after the start of measurement is S2 [MPa], the stress relaxation rate shown by the following formula is preferably 12% or more, and more preferably 15% or more. Stress relaxation rate (%) = {(S1-S2) / S1} × 100

[0074] This makes it possible, for example, when the pseudo-adhesive label 1 is folded, to more effectively relieve the stress applied to the folded portion, and more reliably prevent the substrate 10 from unintentionally peeling off from the pseudo-adhesive layer 20.

[0075] The melt mass flow rate (MFR) of the copolymer of ethylene and another monomer is preferably 3 g / 10 min or more and 35 g / 10 min or less, more preferably 5 g / 10 min or more and 30 g / 10 min or less, and even more preferably 7 g / 10 min or more and 25 g / 10 min or less.

[0076] In this specification, the melt mass flow rate refers to a value measured by the method specified in JIS K7210-1:2014.

[0077] This allows the pseudo adhesive layer-forming composition to maintain suitable fluidity when applied to the substrate 10, improving film-forming properties and film thickness accuracy, and enabling the pseudo adhesive layer 20 to be more suitably formed on the substrate 10 by melt extrusion. Furthermore, even when the pseudo adhesive label 1 is stored in a high-temperature, high-humidity environment, for example, the peel force of the pseudo adhesive layer 20 is less likely to change, further improving the stability of the peel performance.

[0078] The pseudo adhesive layer 20 may be made of a material containing a copolymer of ethylene and other monomers, and may contain components other than the copolymer of ethylene and other monomers, but the content of the copolymer of ethylene and other monomers in the pseudo adhesive layer 20 is preferably 80% by mass or more, more preferably 85% by mass or more, and even more preferably 90% by mass or more. This makes it possible to more significantly exhibit the effects of the present invention described above.

[0079] In addition to the copolymer of ethylene and another monomer, the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 may contain, for example, a thermoplastic resin other than the copolymer of ethylene and another monomer, such as other polyolefin-based resins, polyvinyl acetate, polyester-based resins, polyamide-based resins, etc.

[0080] Examples of polyolefin resins include polyethylene resin, polypropylene resin (PP), polybutene resin (PB), ethylene-propylene copolymer, olefin elastomer (TPO), ethylene-methyl methacrylate copolymer (EMMA), and olefin terpolymers such as ethylene-propylene-(5-ethylidene-2-norbornene).

[0081] When the pseudo adhesive layer 20 contains, in addition to a copolymer of ethylene and another monomer, a thermoplastic resin other than a copolymer of ethylene and another monomer, the content of the thermoplastic resin is preferably 0.1 parts by mass or more and 15.0 parts by mass or less, more preferably 0.5 parts by mass or more and 10.0 parts by mass or less, and even more preferably 1.0 parts by mass or more and 5.0 parts by mass or less, per 100 parts by mass of the copolymer of ethylene and another monomer.

[0082] The pseudo-adhesive layer 20 may also contain components other than those described above (hereinafter also referred to as "other components" in this section). Examples of other components include antioxidants, UV absorbers, light stabilizers, flexibility agents, flame retardants, antistatic agents, lubricants, fillers, colorants, etc., and one or more selected from these may be used in combination.

[0083] However, the content of other components in the pseudo adhesive layer 20 is preferably 20.0% by mass or less, more preferably 15.0% by mass or less, and even more preferably 10.0% by mass or less.

[0084] The thickness of the pseudo adhesive layer 20 is not particularly limited, but is preferably 5.0 μm or more and 18.0 μm or less, more preferably 7.0 μm or more and 16.0 μm or less, and even more preferably 10.0 μm or more and 15.0 μm or less.

[0085] This ensures sufficient pseudo-adhesion to the substrate 10, and more reliably prevents the substrate 10 from unintentionally peeling off from the pseudo-adhesive layer 20. It also prevents the substrate 10 from breaking or curling into a cylindrical shape during high-speed peeling. Furthermore, when the substrate 10 is peeled off from the pseudo-adhesive label 1 attached to the adherend 100, and the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 remains on the adherend 100 together with the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 30, the laminate having the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 30 can be made less noticeable on the adherend 100.

[0086] [1-3] Adhesive layer The adhesive layer 30 is a layer for attaching the pseudo adhesive label 1 to the adherend 100 .

[0087] An adhesive is used that has an appropriate adhesive strength to the adherend 100 and is strong enough to reliably hold the pseudo adhesive layer 20 on the adherend 100 at interface B when, for example, the substrate 10 is peeled off at interface A with the pseudo adhesive layer 20 while the pseudo adhesive label 1 is attached to the adherend 100.

[0088] Examples of adhesives constituting the adhesive layer 30 include adhesives such as acrylic adhesives, natural rubber adhesives, synthetic rubber adhesives, and silicone adhesives, and one or more selected from these may be used in combination. Among these, acrylic adhesives and synthetic rubber adhesives are preferred in terms of ease of adhesive strength control and cost. Examples of acrylic adhesives include solvent-based acrylic adhesives, aqueous emulsion-based acrylic adhesives, and hot-melt acrylic adhesives. Examples of synthetic rubber-based adhesives include solvent-based synthetic rubber adhesives, aqueous emulsion-based synthetic rubber adhesives, and hot-melt synthetic rubber adhesives.

[0089] The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 30 may contain components other than those described above (hereinafter also referred to as "other components" in this section). Examples of other components include fillers, softeners, heat and light stabilizers, antioxidants, crosslinking agents, etc., and one or more selected from these may be used in combination.

[0090] Examples of fillers include zinc oxide, titanium oxide, silica, calcium carbonate, and barium sulfate. Examples of the softener include process oil, liquid rubber, and plasticizer.

[0091] Examples of the heat and light stabilizer include benzophenone-based stabilizers, benzotriazole-based stabilizers, and hindered amine-based stabilizers.

[0092] Examples of the antioxidant include anilide-based antioxidants, phenol-based antioxidants, phosphite-based antioxidants, and thioester-based antioxidants.

[0093] The thickness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 30 is not particularly limited, but is preferably 1.0 μm or more and 50.0 μm or less, more preferably 5.0 μm or more and 45.0 μm or less, and even more preferably 10.0 μm or more and 40.0 μm or less.

[0094] This ensures sufficient adhesive strength to the adherend 100 and makes it easier to handle when attaching the pseudo adhesive label 1 to the adherend 100. Furthermore, when the substrate 10 is peeled off from the pseudo adhesive label 1 attached to the adherend 100 and the pseudo adhesive layer 20 remains on the adherend 100 together with the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 30, the laminate having the pseudo adhesive layer 20 and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 30 can be made less noticeable on the adherend 100.

[0095] In the pseudo-adhesive label 1 of this embodiment, the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 30 are preferably substantially transparent.

[0096] This provides the following benefits. For example, when the pseudo adhesive label 1 is used as a shipping label, there may be cases where an order is canceled or the shipping address information is printed incorrectly, requiring the shipping label once affixed to the packaging material to be peeled off and a new shipping label with the correct information printed on it to be re-affixed. In such cases, if at least one of the pseudo adhesive layer 20 and the adhesive layer 30 is colored, the remaining pseudo adhesive label 1, i.e., the laminate having the pseudo adhesive layer 20 and the adhesive layer 30, will be conspicuous. Therefore, it is necessary to discard the box, bag, or other substrate to which the pseudo adhesive label 1 is affixed, and repackage the contents with a new substrate. In contrast, if the pseudo adhesive layer 20 and the adhesive layer 30 are substantially transparent, the remaining pseudo adhesive label 1, i.e., the laminate having the pseudo adhesive layer 20 and the adhesive layer 30, will be less conspicuous when the substrate 10 on which the information is recorded is peeled off and removed from the substrate. Therefore, even if a laminate having a pseudo adhesive layer 20 and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 30 remains on the adherend, by attaching a pseudo adhesive label 1 bearing correct information, the adherend, such as a box or bag to which the pseudo adhesive label 1 is attached, can be suitably reused without being discarded.

[0097] In this specification, the term "substantially transparent" means that the surface of the adherend 100 can be directly viewed through the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 30 when the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 30 are attached to the surface of the adherend 100 by transmitting most of the visible light, and is a concept that also includes translucency.

[0098] The visible light transmittance of the laminate of the pseudo adhesive layer 20 and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 30 is preferably 80% or more, and more preferably 90% or more. This makes the above-mentioned effects more pronounced.

[0099] [1-4] Release liner In the pseudo adhesive label 1 shown in FIG. 1, a release liner 40 is provided on the surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 30 opposite to the side on which the pseudo adhesive layer 20 is provided.

[0100] The release liner 40 has the function of protecting the adhesive layer 30 during transportation, storage, etc. of the pseudo adhesive label 1. When the pseudo adhesive label 1 is attached to the adherend 100, the release liner 40 is peeled from the adhesive layer 30 at the interface C. The pseudo-adhesive label of the present invention is not limited to an embodiment having a release liner.

[0101] The release liner 40 is not particularly limited, and any known release liner 40 can be appropriately selected and used. Generally, the release liner 40 is a substrate (release substrate) having a release treatment applied to one or both sides thereof.

[0102] Examples of release substrates that can be used for the release liner 40 include polyester films such as polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, and polyethylene naphthalate, polyolefin films such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and polymethylpentene, paper substrates such as clay-coated paper, glassine paper, and recycled paper, and sheets of laminated paper obtained by laminating a thermoplastic resin such as polyethylene onto these paper substrates. Of these, paper substrates are particularly preferred.

[0103] The release agent for performing the release treatment is not particularly limited, and known release agents can be used. Specifically, silicone-based resins, olefin-based resins, isoprene-based resins, butadiene-based resins, long-chain alkyl-based resins, and alkyd-based resins are preferred, and butadiene-based resins and alkyd-based resins are more preferred.

[0104] The thickness of the release liner 40 is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of ease of handling, etc., it is preferably 10.0 μm or more and 200.0 μm or less, more preferably 25.0 μm or more and 170.0 μm or less, and even more preferably 30.0 μm or more and 150.0 μm or less.

[0105] [2] Manufacturing method of pseudo adhesive labels The method for producing the pseudo-adhesive label will now be described.

[0106] The pseudo adhesive label 1 of this embodiment can be manufactured, for example, by a method comprising a pseudo adhesive layer formation step of forming a pseudo adhesive layer 20 on one side of a substrate 10, an adhesive layer formation step of forming an adhesive layer 30 on one side of a release liner 40, and a lamination step of laminating the substrate 10 with the pseudo adhesive layer 20 laminated thereon and the release liner 40 with the adhesive layer 30 laminated thereon so that the pseudo adhesive layer 20 and the adhesive layer 30 come into contact with each other.

[0107] Each step will be described below. [2-1] Pseudo adhesive layer formation process In this step, a pseudo-adhesive layer 20 is laminated on one surface of the substrate 10 .

[0108] There are no particular limitations on the method for laminating the pseudo adhesive layer 20 onto the substrate 10. The method for manufacturing the pseudo adhesive label 1 according to this embodiment includes a melt-extrusion step in which a pseudo adhesive layer-forming composition containing materials for constituting the pseudo adhesive layer 20 is melt-extruded onto the substrate 10.

[0109] As a method for melt-extruding the pseudo-adhesive layer-forming composition, for example, a method using a T-die can be mentioned.

[0110] The melt extrusion temperature is preferably 180°C or higher and 400°C or lower, more preferably 200°C or higher and 350°C or lower, and even more preferably 230°C or higher and 300°C or lower.

[0111] The pseudo-adhesive layer forming step also includes a cooling step of cooling the melt-extruded pseudo-adhesive layer forming composition.

[0112] The cooling step can be carried out, for example, by bringing the heated and melted pseudo-adhesive layer-forming composition into contact with a cooling means such as a cooling roll. For example, a cooling roll having a cylindrical body with a metal outer periphery can be used. The cooling roll may have a cooling function by passing cooling water or the like through the inside of the cylindrical body. When a cooling roll is used as the cooling means, the pseudo-adhesive layer-forming composition melt-extruded onto the substrate 10 may be cooled by directly contacting the outer periphery of the cooling roll, or the substrate 10 may be directly contacted with the outer periphery of the cooling roll to indirectly cool the pseudo-adhesive layer-forming composition. Furthermore, in the cooling step, the melt-extruded pseudo-adhesive layer-forming composition may be cooled by air cooling.

[0113] [2-2] Adhesive layer formation process In this process, a composition for forming an adhesive layer containing materials for forming the adhesive layer 30 is applied to one side of the release liner 40, specifically the side that has been subjected to a release treatment, to form the adhesive layer 30.

[0114] Examples of methods for applying the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer-forming composition include roll coating, spray coating, bar coating, knife coating, roll knife coating, blade coating, die coating, and gravure coating.

[0115] [2-3] Lamination process In this process, the substrate 10 having the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 laminated thereon and the release liner 40 having the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 30 laminated thereon are laminated together so that the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 30 are in contact with each other. Through the above steps, the pseudo adhesive label 1 shown in FIG. 1 is manufactured.

[0116] The method for producing the pseudo adhesive label is not limited to the above-described example. For example, the pseudo adhesive label 1 can also be suitably manufactured by a method in which a composition for forming an adhesive layer is applied to the surface of the pseudo adhesive layer 20 laminated on the substrate 10 to laminate the adhesive layer 30, and then a release liner 40 is attached to the surface of the adhesive layer 30.

[0117] [3] How to use pseudo adhesive labels Next, a method for using the pseudo adhesive label will be described.

[0118] Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing the pseudo-adhesive label of the present invention attached to a cardboard box, which is an adherend. Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing the pseudo-adhesive label of the present invention attached to a cardboard box, which is an adherend. Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing the pseudo-adhesive label of the present invention after the substrate has been peeled off. Figs. 3 and 4 show an enlarged view of the pseudo-adhesive label.

[0119] The pseudo adhesive label 1 of this embodiment is used, for example, as a shipping label. That is, the pseudo-adhesive label 1 is adhered to a delivery via the adhesive layer 30 after the release liner 40 is peeled off and removed, and the substrate 10 is used as a receipt.

[0120] The pseudo adhesive label 1 according to this embodiment can be peeled off at an interface C between the adhesive layer 30 and the release liner 40. As shown in Figure 2, after the release liner 40 is peeled off, the pseudo adhesive label 1 is attached to the adherend 100 by the adhesive layer 30.

[0121] When the pseudo-adhesive label 1 is used as a delivery label, the adherend 100 can be, for example, a delivery item. A delivery item typically consists of an item to be delivered and packaging material for packaging the item. Examples of packaging material include packaging paper, packaging film, packaging bags, packaging boxes, and packaging containers. Examples of packaging material include cardboard, paper, plastic, and metal. The pseudo-adhesive label 1 is typically affixed to the packaging material of the delivery item.

[0122] 2 to 4 show a case where the pseudo-adhesive label 1 is attached to a cardboard box as the adherend 100. Also, in the example shown in Fig. 2 to 4, a case where the pseudo-adhesive label 1 is attached so as to straddle the corner of the cardboard box is shown.

[0123] In particular, in the pseudo-adhesive label 1 of this embodiment, even when it is applied across the corner of a cardboard box, i.e., in a bent state, or when it is applied to a soft resin bag and bent together with the bag during delivery, the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 is flexible because it is composed of a copolymer of ethylene and other monomers, and the stress applied to the bent portion is suitably alleviated.

[0124] This helps prevent the substrate 10 from unintentionally peeling off from the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 during shipping.

[0125] Then, when delivery is completed, after stamping or signing, the substrate 10 is peeled off from the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 at interface A as shown in FIG. 4, and is used as a receipt to be taken back by the delivery company.

[0126] In the pseudo-adhesive label 1 of this embodiment, the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 does not remain on the substrate 10 after peeling, so the thickness of the peeled label piece can be thinner than in conventional pseudo-adhesive labels in which the pseudo-adhesive layer is peeled off along with the substrate. This allows the thickness of the peeled substrate 10 to be reduced when storing multiple receipts stacked together, for example, leading to space savings.

[0127] Furthermore, since the label piece after peeling only has the base material 10 and does not have the pseudo-adhesive layer 20, the label piece after peeling is prevented from becoming sticky even if it is placed in a high-temperature environment, for example.

[0128] Furthermore, when the base material 10 after peeling is discarded as waste, the amount of waste can be reduced due to its thin thickness.

[0129] When the pseudo-adhesive label 1 is used as a shipping label, the substrate 10 of the pseudo-adhesive label 1 may be divided into multiple label pieces, for example, by a cut (half-cut line). For example, if the substrate 10 is divided into two pieces by a cut, one label piece can be used as a shipping slip and the other label piece can be used as a receipt. The label piece used as a receipt is usually peeled off at the interface A with the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 after being stamped or signed. The other label piece remains on the packaging material side.

[0130] Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to these.

[0131] For example, the pseudo-adhesive label of the present invention may have layers other than the above-mentioned layers, such as an undercoat layer, an intermediate layer, or a surface protective layer.

[0132] In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the pseudo-adhesive label of the present invention is used as a shipping label as an example, but the pseudo-adhesive label of the present invention can also be used as a label other than a shipping label, for example. [Example]

[0133] The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples.

[0134] In the following explanation, treatments for which no temperature conditions are specified were performed at room temperature (23°C) and a relative humidity of 50%. Furthermore, measurements for which no temperature conditions are specified are based on values ​​at room temperature (23°C) and a relative humidity of 50%.

[0135] [4] Manufacturing pseudo-adhesive labels Example 1 First, thermal paper (thickness 74 μm, basis weight 80 g / m) was used as the substrate. 2 ) was prepared.

[0136] Ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) as a pseudo-adhesive layer-forming composition was heated to 250° C. and extruded onto one surface of the substrate using a T-die.

[0137] Cooling water adjusted to a temperature of 23°C was passed through a water-cooled roll, and the surface of the water-cooled roll was brought into contact with the EVA on the substrate, thereby cooling and solidifying the molten EVA and forming a pseudo-adhesive layer 12.0 μm thick on the substrate.

[0138] The ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer used had a copolymerization ratio of vinyl acetate of 6% by mass, a softening point of 75° C., and an MFR of 8.5 g / 10 min.

[0139] The transport speed of the substrate when forming the pseudo-adhesive layer, that is, the processing speed of the pseudo-adhesive layer, was set to 150 m / min.

[0140] On the other hand, a composition for forming a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, which was made of an acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive, was applied to the surface of a release-treated glassine paper (release liner) using a roll coater, and then the applied composition was dried to form a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer on the release liner.

[0141] The substrate with the pseudo-adhesive layer laminated thereon and the release liner with the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer laminated thereon obtained as described above were laminated together so that the pseudo-adhesive layer and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer were in contact with each other, thereby obtaining a pseudo-adhesive label. The obtained pseudo-adhesive label had the substrate, pseudo-adhesive layer, pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, and release liner in this order.

[0142] Examples 2 to 4 Pseudo-adhesive labels were produced in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the thickness of the pseudo-adhesive layer was changed as shown in Table 1.

[0143] (Examples 5 to 8) A pseudo-adhesive label was produced in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the conditions for the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer constituting the pseudo-adhesive layer were changed as shown in Tables 1 and 2.

[0144] (Comparative Example 1) The pseudo-adhesive label was manufactured in the same manner as in Example 1, except that polyethylene (PE) was used instead of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer as the material for the pseudo-adhesive layer and the thickness of the pseudo-adhesive layer was 20.0 μm.

[0145] (Comparative Example 2) A pseudo-adhesive label was produced in the same manner as in Comparative Example 1, except that the thickness of the pseudo-adhesive layer was set to 12.0 μm.

[0146] [5] Measurement and evaluation The following measurements and evaluations were carried out for each of the above examples and comparative examples.

[0147] (Melt Mass Flow Rate) The melt mass flow rate (MFR) of the pseudo-adhesive layer-forming composition used to form the pseudo-adhesive layer of the pseudo-adhesive label of each of the above examples and comparative examples was measured in accordance with JIS K 7210-1:2014 at a test temperature of 190°C and a load of 2.16 kg.

[0148] (Young's modulus) The pseudo-adhesive layer-forming composition used to form the pseudo-adhesive layer of the pseudo-adhesive labels of each of the Examples and Comparative Examples was extruded onto the release-treated surface of a release liner to the same thickness as each of the Examples and Comparative Examples. After cooling, the release liner was removed to obtain a sheet consisting of the pseudo-adhesive layer-forming composition. The sheet was cut into a rectangle measuring 15 mm wide and 200 mm long to obtain test pieces. These test pieces were used to measure Young's modulus at 23°C and 50% RH in accordance with JIS K7161-1:2014 and JIS K 7127:1999. Specifically, the test pieces were subjected to a tensile test at a speed of 0.2 m / min using a tensile tester with a chuck distance of 100 mm, and the Young's modulus (unit: MPa) was measured.

[0149] (Stress relaxation) Test pieces were obtained in the same manner as the test pieces for Young's modulus measurement. These test pieces were used in a tensile tester with a chuck distance of 100 mm set at 23°C and 50% RH, and then elongated by 5% at a tensile speed of 0.2 m / min. The initial stress value (S1) and the residual stress value (S2) 5 minutes after the start of measurement were measured. The stress relaxation rate (%) was calculated from these values ​​using the following formula: Stress relaxation rate (%) = {(S1-S2) / S1} × 100

[0150] (Pseudo adhesive force) The pseudo-adhesive strength of the pseudo-adhesive labels of each of the Examples and Comparative Examples was measured in accordance with the 180° peel adhesive strength measurement method of JIS Z 0237:2009. More specifically, the release liner was first removed from the pseudo-adhesive label, and the exposed adhesive layer was fixed by adhering it to a stainless steel plate. The substrate of the pseudo-adhesive label was then peeled from the pseudo-adhesive layer at a peel speed of 0.3 m / min and a peel angle of 180°. The force required for this peeling (peel force) was measured, and the measured peel force was taken as the pseudo-adhesive strength. The pseudo-adhesive strength is measured in mN / 50 mm.

[0151] Similarly, a peel test was conducted under the conditions of a peel speed of 10 m / min and a peel angle of 180°, and the pseudo adhesive strength was measured. The test piece used for measuring the pseudo-adhesion strength was 50 mm wide and 150 mm long.

[0152] (Suitable for attaching to cardboard corners) First, the release liner was removed from each of the pseudo-adhesive labels of the Examples and Comparative Examples, and the pseudo-adhesive labels were folded and attached to the cardboard boxes so that they straddled the corners. At this time, the length of the pseudo-adhesive label protruding from the corner, i.e., the length of the pseudo-adhesive label folded from the edge, was 3 mm. The cardboard boxes were approximately rectangular parallelepipeds, and the corner angles were approximately 90°.

[0153] After 24 hours from application, the length of the substrate lifted from the pseudo-adhesive layer was measured. When no lifting of the substrate was observed, the evaluation was given as "good."

[0154] Furthermore, the test was carried out in the same manner as above, except that the protruding length from the corner was set to 5 mm and 10 mm, and the evaluation was carried out.

[0155] (peelability) The substrate of the pseudo-adhesive label was manually peeled off from the pseudo-adhesive layer at a low speed (0.3 m / min), and the state of the substrate after peeling was visually observed and evaluated.

[0156] If the substrate did not curl or curled only slightly but not into a cylindrical shape, it was rated "A." If the substrate curled into a cylindrical shape, it was rated as "B". If the substrate broke during peeling, it was rated as "C".

[0157] Furthermore, the test was carried out in the same manner as above except that the peeling speed was set to a high speed (10 m / min), and evaluation was carried out. These results are summarized in Tables 1 and 2 along with the conditions of the pseudo adhesive layer.

[0158] [Table 1]

[0159] [Table 2]

[0160] As is clear from Tables 1 and 2, when comparing the comparative example using polyethylene as the material constituting the pseudo-adhesive layer with the example using ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, even though the thickness is the same, the example had a lower Young's modulus of the pseudo-adhesive layer than the comparative example. Furthermore, the example had a lower initial stress and a higher stress relaxation rate than the comparative example. Furthermore, it was confirmed that the example had sufficient pseudo-adhesive strength.

[0161] Furthermore, in the corrugated cardboard corner pasting test, in each of the comparative examples, the substrate 10 lifted from the pseudo-adhesive layer 50, i.e., unintended peeling of the substrate 10, as shown in Figure 5, but in each of the examples, as shown in Figure 3, no lifting of the substrate from the pseudo-adhesive layer was observed, confirming that unintended peeling of the substrate was effectively prevented.

[0162] In particular, when the thickness of the pseudo-adhesive layer was 5.0 μm or more and 18.0 μm or less, the pseudo-adhesive force was more suitable, and more favorable results were obtained.

[0163] Furthermore, when the copolymerization ratio of vinyl acetate in the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer was 3% by mass or more and 15% by mass or less, the pseudo-adhesion strength became more suitable, and more preferable results were obtained.

[0164] Furthermore, since the pseudo-adhesion strength at a peeling speed of 10 m / min was 7000 mN / 50 mm or less, the substrate could be peeled off smoothly from the pseudo-adhesive layer without curling into a cylindrical shape.

[0165] In addition, when the pseudo-adhesive labels of the example and comparative example were attached to a soft resin bag and the pseudo-adhesive label was folded together with the bag, in the comparative example, the substrate peeled off from the pseudo-adhesive layer, but in the example, the substrate did not peel off from the pseudo-adhesive layer, confirming that unintentional peeling of the substrate was effectively prevented.
