Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In a case where predetermined information is notified by a postcard, the notification information-bearing surface of the postcard is peelably adhered so that it can be sent with confidentiality as in the case of notification by a sealed letter. It relates to a postcard with confidentiality.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a notice is sent by postcard, a method of making the notice confidential so that others cannot read it is to attach a concealing label to the postcard, or to fold or tri-fold connected to the postcard. The concealment has been performed by bonding the foldable concealment paper pieces in a releasable manner. Under the recent deregulation of the postal law, in order to make more effective use of postcards that can be sent at a lower fee than sealed letters, use concealed paper sheets to further increase the notification area in accordance with the form and weight rules of fixed postcards. A method of concealing the front and back of the postcard body so that notification can be made has been taken. However, since the postcard itself must have a display section such as a "postcard" as the postcard display, some of the front-side concealment paper may be cut out or cut out for windows. Ingenuity
2. Description of the Related Art Concealed postcards formed by folding and bonding tri-fold paper pieces are known.

[0003]

However, concealed postcards formed by folding and bonding three-fold paper pieces in accordance with the provisions of the Postal Law require that the weight of the postcard itself be 2 g or more. It is necessary to use at least 2 g of paper sheets constituting the postcard main body to which the concealment paper sheets are to be adhered, so that the weight per one paper sheet constituting the concealment postcard can be selected only for paper of 2 g or more. Since the weight of the entire postcard is not less than 6 g because the weight of the entire postcard is not more than 6 g, a part of the concealing paper piece on the front side is cut off or exposed through a window in order to adjust the weight and display the postcard display portion. The conventional tri-fold paper pieces are not suitable for printing due to the steps of the notch or window cut-out when printing. In the case of pressure-bonding due to the stepped portion of the overlapping part during bonding, uniform pressure cannot be applied by the pressure roller, resulting in an unbonded part, and during mailing, the stepped part is caught and peeled off. However, there are many inconveniences that the appearance is bad due to the step.

What is necessary is just to comprise suitably by a bending part, a cutting part, and a division part. In each of the above embodiments, the postcard display 10 is “postcard”, but the character equivalent to the postcard display 10 may be used. Also, the sheets constituting the postcard 1 are as shown in FIGS.
The printing, notification information 13 and 14, and the adhesives 4 and 7 are applied in advance before overlapping, and printing and printing may be performed after the application of the adhesive. An agent may be applied. In addition,
The postcard 1 described in the drawings is, for the sake of explanation, described with the superimposed state shifted considerably.
Adhesive surfaces are accurately adhered in the form of postcards.

On the front and back surfaces of the first sheet 2 constituting the postcard main body sheet 5, notification information 13 or confidential notification information 14 may be arbitrarily provided. What is necessary is just to provide on the four surfaces or the predetermined surface of the peeling surface of the sheet. Furthermore, the adhesive sheet 6,
In order to facilitate the peeling of No. 9, the size of the end portion to be the peeling start portion may be the same, or may be slightly shorter than that of the first sheet 2, and the corner or side of the end portion to be the peeling start portion may be formed. The part may be printed to suppress the adhesive force.

The peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive 7 is obtained by, for example, graft copolymerizing 2 to 8 parts by weight of styrene and 10 to 16 parts by weight of methyl methacrylate with respect to 100 parts by weight of natural rubber. To a natural rubber latex, 2 to 10 parts by weight of a terpene resin-based tackifier is added to form a pressure-sensitive base adhesive, and titanium oxide having an average particle size of 1 to 30 μm is added to 100 parts by weight of the base adhesive. Wheat starch,
It is obtained by adding 150 to 250 parts by weight of a fine particulate filler such as silica. Further, the adhesive 4 that is difficult to peel off has an average particle diameter of 1 to 30 μm added to the pressure-sensitive base adhesive.
The amount of the finely divided filler m was reduced to adjust the adhesive strength so that peeling was difficult.

Further, instead of the peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive 7 capable of re-peeling the adhered surface, a weak adhesive is applied to one surface of the see-through film and a strong adhesive is applied to the other surface. A strong tackiness agent may be applied to both sides of a film tack substrate coated with or a see-through two-layer film that is peelably adhered. Further, instead of the pressure-sensitive adhesive, a heat-sensitive adhesive or a rewetting adhesive which is releasably adhered by application of heat or water may be used. Further, instead of the adhesive 4 which is difficult to peel off for firmly adhering the sticking surface, a base material in which strong adhesives are applied to both surfaces of a see-through film may be used.

The addressing section 11 may be provided on the second sheet 3 as shown in FIG.

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, it is possible to increase the notification information amount in a postcard by making the postcard multi-layered, and to attach the postcard main body sheet and two sheets. Since the weight of the postcard body sheet (2 g or more) can be added together with the weight of the sheet, it satisfies the regulation of 2 g or more and 6 g or less, which is the regulation weight of the sheets forming the postcard, and the paper quality (basis weight, base material). Etc.) A wide range of selections can be made, and because postcards do not have steps or cutouts, printer suitability and adhesiveness are improved, peeling due to being caught in the middle of mailing does not occur, and the appearance is good Is.
