An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view and a side sectional view showing a configuration of a lottery 20 which is a first embodiment of an information recording medium having a scratch layer according to the present invention. The base material 21 is formed of a paper material (continuous body or sheet body). On the base material 21, common information 23a such as characters and patterns
And concealment information 23b such as “1st grade” and “2nd grade” are recorded. These pieces of information 23a and 23b are printed by handwriting, printing, or printing on a printer or the like. The printing method here may be any method such as NIP, dot impact, thermal, and thermal transfer.

Further, in the area containing the hidden information 23b,
A transparent or translucent film 24 is adhered with an adhesive 25. The film 24 is formed of a brittle material or a ductile material. The adhesive 25 is a transparent or semi-transparent and strongly adhesive type (non-peelable). As the adhesive 25, a pressure-bonding type or a heat-sealing type can be used. A scratch print layer 26 is provided in a region of the film 24 that covers the region where the hidden information 23b is provided. The scratch print layer 26 has a background (concealment information 23
It has the concealing property (opacity) of b) and is scraped off by rubbing it with a nail or a coin (it can be scratched).
It is a printing layer. When the scratch print layer 26 is scratched, the hidden information 23b becomes visible from the outside.

The ink for forming the scratch print layer 26 is a rubber-based natural resin (natural rubber, hydrochloric acid rubber, etc.), a diene-based resin (polybutadiene, styrene / butadiene copolymer, acrylonitrile / butadiene copolymer, polyisoprene, polyisoprene, poly). (Chloroprene, etc.), acrylic resin, and vinyl resin are used as the vehicle (component for transferring and fixing the pigment to the printing surface). Further, the scratch printing layer 26 contains 40 to 60 metal fine powder (aluminum fine powder, brass fine powder, copper fine powder, etc.) as a colorant, or oxide fine powder thereof in order to obtain the concealing property of the base. weight%
Contains. Further, in order to improve the hiding property of the scratch printing layer 26, barium sulfate, calcium carbonate or the like may be contained in an amount of 1 to 2% by weight. By forming the scratch printing layer 26 from the above composition, both printability and scratchability can be satisfied.

Next, a method of manufacturing the lottery 20 will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, the common information 23a and the concealment information 23b are recorded by printing or the like in a predetermined area on the front surface side of the base material 21 (concealment information recording step). Concealment information 23b
Is recorded in a preset concealment-scheduled area (inside the broken-line area in the figure). On the other hand, as shown in FIG.
4 is formed in a predetermined size and is a continuous peeling member 27.
It is affixed to the top one by one. Peeling member 27 for film 24
An adhesive 25 is provided on the side, and the adhesive 25 and the release layer 27b provided on the base material 27a of the release member 27 are releasably adhered. Here, when the adhesive 25 is of a heat-fusion type, the peeling member 27 is unnecessary.
Further, the scratch print layer 26 described above is provided in a predetermined region of the film 24 (scratch print layer forming step).
The scratch print layer 26 is formed at three places so as to correspond to the hidden information 23b. The scratch print layer 26 is
Generally, it is printed by silk screen printing. The film 24 is peeled from the peeling member 27 and adhered to the base material 21 of FIG. 2 (bonding step). Here, the adhesion can be done manually, or a dedicated sticker (labeler)
May be used. The film 24 is adhered so that each scratch print layer 26 covers the concealment information 23b. Therefore, the hidden information 23b cannot be seen from the outside. As a result, the lottery 20 shown in FIG. 1 is completed.

As described above, since the scratch printing layer 26 is not formed directly on the base material 21, the issuer of the lottery 20 is
It is sufficient to manufacture a medium in which the concealment information 23b is recorded on the base material 21, purchase the film 24 provided with the scratch printing layer 26 on the film 24 manufactured by a dedicated printing company, and adhere it to the base material 21. . Therefore, since it is not necessary to hand over the base material 21 on which the concealment information 23b is recorded to an outside trader, the concealment information 2
The scratch print layer 26 can be provided while maintaining the confidentiality of 3b.

If the lottery 20 is scraped off by rubbing the scratch print layer 26, the hidden information 23b on the lower side can be seen. Here, if the film 24 can be peeled off cleanly from the base material 21, the concealment information 23b can be seen without shaving the scratch print layer 26, and it is possible to falsify the information. However, the film 24 is formed of a brittle material or a ductile material, and is broken or plastically deformed by a force weaker than the peeling force of the film 24 from the base material 21. That is, the base material 21 to the film 24
When peeled off, the film 24 is cut or stretched before the film 24 is peeled off. Therefore, the film 24
Cannot be peeled off cleanly from the substrate 21, and the hidden information 23b cannot be seen unless the scratch printing layer 26 is scraped off. Further, if the adhesive 25 is a strong adhesive type, when the film 24 is peeled from the base material 21, it is not peeled between the film 24 and the base material 21 and is broken between the paper fiber layers of the base material 21. The same effect can be obtained.
