FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a label and a tack label in which a fragrance component such as a fragrance is enclosed in a base material.
It can be widely used in the field of fragrance products such as food containers, cosmetic containers, toys, magazines, leaflets and direct mail.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, it has been used for magazines, calendars, direct mail, etc. so that perfume or the like can be soaked in the printed matter so that the user can feel the fragrance when holding the printed matter. However, in this method, the aroma component is volatilized with the elapse of time, so that it cannot be used for a long storage period. There is also a method in which a printed matter is made with ink containing microcapsules enclosing a fragrance component, and the user rubs the printed matter with a nail or the like to destroy the microcapsules and smell the scent. Furthermore, the microcapsules encapsulating the aroma component are mixed in a sizing agent, the sizing agent is applied to the adhesive portion of a printed material, etc., and the printed material is folded in two and adhered. It is used for advertisement of scented products such as magazines and leaflets as printed matter in which capsules are destroyed to generate scents.

[0003]

In the case of a notification that also serves as a direct mail, a perfume-impregnated product may be used to draw the recipient's attention.
There was a problem that the fragrance diminished during mailing and the scent became faint. On the other hand, if the fragrance component is soaked in a large amount, the fragrance may be too strong and may be transferred to another mail item or may cause discomfort to the recipient.

When an adhesive or sizing agent mixed with microcapsules encapsulating an aroma component is used as a scented printed material for magazines, leaflets, etc., the microcapsules encapsulating the scent are adhesives or Since it is firmly adhered to the printed matter together with the sizing agent, the scented microcapsules cannot be completely destroyed and a sufficient scent may not be obtained. Therefore, when the scent component is thin, it is necessary to bring the printed material to the nose and sniff it, and at the same time, smell the ink and the scent of the paper, and you cannot enjoy the good scent of only the scent component. It was

Further, when the aromatic component is encapsulated in microcapsules and used in a printed matter, in the distribution process of the product,
When the temperature is high, the fragrance component is volatilized from the microcapsules and the fragrance component is reduced, or the printed part is rubbed and the microcapsules are broken to generate a fragrance, which causes the fragrance to be transferred to other products. is there.

The present invention solves these problems and makes a tack label by encapsulating a fragrance component in a base material having a fragrance retaining function, and the fragrance component is not volatilized during distribution or storage for a long period of time. An object is to provide a tack label that can hold an aromatic component. Then, if this tack label is attached to a food container that requires fragrance, a cosmetic container, a toy, or a printed product of a scent product such as a magazine, a leaflet, or a direct mail, a user who has these products in his hand can By peeling off using the peeling section, the scent of the tack label can be enjoyed.

[0007]

In order to solve the above problems, the scented label has the following structure. A liquid or solid fragrance component is placed on top of the base material having a fragrance retaining function, another base material having a fragrance retaining function is overlaid thereon, and the periphery of the fragrance component is adhered. The scented label is characterized in that an aroma component is enclosed between the two base materials, and a peeling portion is provided on at least a part of the base material on the outer peripheral portion of the adhesive portion. In addition, a frame of adhesive or pressure-sensitive adhesive is formed on the base material having a fragrance retaining function, and a liquid or solid fragrance component is placed in the frame, and another fragrance retaining function is placed on the frame. At least one of the base materials at the outer peripheral portion of the adhesive part, wherein the base materials having the above are superposed and the both base materials are adhered to each other via the adhesive or the pressure-sensitive adhesive, and the aromatic component is enclosed between the both base materials. The scented label was characterized in that a peeling portion was provided in part.
Further, one of the base materials having the aroma retaining function is a scented label which is a laminated material in which an adhesive layer and release paper are laminated on the base material.

[0008]

In the scented label of the present invention, the fragrance component does not disappear due to volatilization in the storage state and the fragrance component is retained for a long period of time, so that the user can always enjoy the good initial scent. Therefore, if this tack label is used for food containers that require fragrance, cosmetic containers, toys, or printed products of fragrance products such as magazines, leaflets, direct mail, etc., fragrance of perfume and cosmetics using these products.

9 (a) and 9 (b) are explanatory views when making a tack label according to the fourth embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 1, the scented label of the present invention basically has a base material (I) 11 having a fragrance retaining function and a base material (II) 14 having another fragrance retaining function. Adhesive 1 formed around the fragrance component by putting a fragrance component such as fragrance between
Two base materials are adhered to each other via 3, and an aromatic component is enclosed in the base material. The peeling portion 15 is provided so that the adhesive portion in which the aromatic component is sealed can be peeled by hand.

The method of encapsulating the aroma component in the base material is as follows:
There are the following methods. First, as shown in FIG. 1, a frame 13 of an adhesive having an appropriate shape such as a ring shape or a deformed ring shape is formed on a part of a base material (II) 14 having a fragrance retaining function. Composition 1 of liquid or solid fragrance component
2 (hereinafter, simply referred to as a fragrance component) is placed, and another base material (I) 11 having a fragrance retaining function is superposed thereon and adhered via an adhesive to form the base material (II) 14 and the base material. (I) A scented label 1 is prepared by enclosing a fragrance component between 11 pieces. Then, as shown in FIG. 1, the base material (I) 11 and the base material (II) 14 seal only the adhesive portion, and the base materials are not completely sealed. 15 (non-sealed portion) is used to allow easy peeling by hand.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, when the inner surfaces of the base material (I) 11 and the base material (II) 14 can be heat-sealed to each other, a certain amount of aroma component is applied to the inner surface of the base material (II) 14. After the addition, the base material (I) 11 can be overlapped and the periphery of the aroma component can be heat-sealed in a ring shape to encapsulate the aroma component in the base material. Materials that can be heat-sealed include polyethylene (hereinafter PE) and polypropylene (hereinafter PP).
, Ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (hereinafter referred to as EVA
, A polyester having heat sealability (hereinafter referred to as PES), polyacrylonitrile (hereinafter referred to as PAN), and the like can be used. It is also possible to apply a hot-melting agent to the entire surface or the heat-sealing portion of one base material to impart heat-sealing properties to the other base material.

As a base material having a heat-sealing property and a fragrance retaining function, for example, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5,
A laminated material such as (surface) PET / Al / PET / PE (inner surface), (surface) release paper / adhesive layer / PET / PE (inner surface) is used. Various configurations are conceivable as the heat-sealing laminated material, but it is necessary to always use a material having an aroma retaining function and a heat-sealing material.
The laminated material having the aroma retaining function will be described in more detail later.

Various methods are conceivable for providing a peeling portion for easily peeling the scented label by hand, and an example thereof is shown in FIG. FIG. 6A shows a case where the non-seal portion 15 is provided around the scented label 1, and the seal portion 18 is formed around the fragrance component 12 and enclosed in the base material, and the seal portion 18 is provided around the seal portion 18. A non-seal portion is provided to make a label with a punched scent. When using, unsealed part 1
By peeling with a finger using 5 (peeling portion), the aroma component is exposed and the scent can be sniffed. In FIG. 6B, the shape of the label is also different, but as in the case of FIG. 6A, it is a case where a non-seal portion is provided around the scented label as a peeling portion.

Next, as shown in FIGS. 6 (c) and 6 (d), the case where the label is scented by punching out along the shape of the seal portion 18, and the non-seal portion 1 is partially attached to the seal portion 18.
5 is provided as a peeling portion. 6 (e) and (f)
As shown in FIG. 5, the seal portion for enclosing the aroma component is formed in a circular shape or a heart shape, and when the label shape and the seal shape are different, the non-seal portion 15 is provided at several places around the seal portion.
Is provided as a peeling portion.

The scented label can be tack-labeled by subjecting the scented label to adhesive processing and then laminating release paper. As shown in FIG. 3, as the base material (II), a pressure sensitive adhesive is applied to the laminated material 14a (laminated material having no adhesive layer and release paper) to form the adhesive layer 16, and the release paper 17 is further applied thereto. The scented tack label 2 can be obtained by encapsulating the fragrance component using the laminated material laminated on top. The scented tack label 2 is peeled from the release paper 17 and is used by sticking it to a food container, a cosmetic container, a toy, a printed matter for advertisement, etc. using the adhesive layer 16.

As the base material having a fragrance retaining function used in the scented label of the present invention, a material which does not transmit a scent component or a laminated material thereof is used. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, as a laminated material using aluminum foil (hereinafter referred to as Al), (surface) polyethylene terephthalate (hereinafter referred to as PET) / Al / PET / PE (inner surface) (hereinafter referred to as laminated material The method is the same), PET / Al / PE,
PP / Al / PE, PP / paper / PE / Al / PE, etc. are used.

Since Al can completely shield all aroma components, a laminated material using Al is excellent as a base material having a fragrance retaining function. Further, instead of the aluminum foil, a PET film obtained by vapor deposition of aluminum (hereinafter referred to as Al vapor deposition PET) may be used. Al vapor deposition PET does not completely shield the aroma components,
These laminated materials can be used as a base material having an aroma retaining function because they have an excellent aroma retaining function depending on the type of aroma component.

However, since a laminated material using Al becomes opaque, it cannot be used for a scented label which requires transparency. For example, when a scented label is put on an advertisement print for perfume to obtain a PR effect, the scented label needs to be transparent, and a laminated material using Al cannot be used. Further, since the Al-containing laminated material is disadvantageous in terms of cost, a base material having an aroma retaining function without Al is used.

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polycarbonate (hereinafter referred to as PC) have excellent fragrance retaining properties against various fragrance components and are therefore used for transparent fragrance retaining laminates. For example, PET / PE, PET /
PE / PVOH / PE, PET / PE / PVDC / P
E, PC / PE, PC / PE / PVOH / PE, PC /
PE / PVDC / PE or the like can be used. The above symbols indicate the following substances, and the same shall apply hereinafter. -PVOH: saponified ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer-PVDC: polyvinylidene chloride Also, as a sealing layer of the above-mentioned laminated material, P is used instead of PE.
A laminated material using P, EVA, or the like can also be used.

Furthermore, since PE, PP, EVA, etc. have the effect of adsorbing and absorbing the terpene-based fragrance component, which is the scent component of orange juice, to lower the fragrance component, such a fragrance component is used for the label. In this case, it is desirable to use polyacrylonitrile (PAN) or polyester (PES) having heat sealability on the inner surface to form a laminated material that does not adsorb or absorb these aromatic components.

The form of the scent component used in the present invention may be liquid, gelled or solid. That is, a liquid obtained by dissolving a perfume, a fragrance, or other aromatic component in a solvent to be a liquid is dropped in an appropriate amount in a ring-shaped frame formed of an adhesive on a base material, and another base is added thereon. At the same time as overlapping the materials, the periphery of the materials is sealed with an adhesive to seal the liquid containing the aroma component in the base material. In addition, in the case where a gel is formed by adding a gelling agent to a liquid, the gelled substance is put in a frame formed of an adhesive, and then the base material is sealed in the same manner as the liquid substance to give an aromatic component. Is encapsulated in the base material.

A solid substance obtained by impregnating a granular inorganic substance or organic substance that easily adsorbs an aromatic component is placed directly on the base material and sealed in the same manner as above to seal the aromatic component into the base material. can do. Alternatively, the solid aromatic component may be made into an ink, which may be applied to a base material and dried, and then the base material may be sealed to encapsulate the aromatic component in the base material. Also,
A fragrance component having a relatively low volatility can be directly made into an ink, applied to a base material and dried, and then the base material is sealed to encapsulate the fragrance component in the base material.

The adhesives and pressure-sensitive adhesives used in the present invention may be those having a strong adhesive force to the substrate and a suitable adhesive strength, and any known adhesives or pressure-sensitive adhesives may be used according to the purpose. Select as appropriate for use. For example, a hot melt adhesive can be used as the adhesive, and a latex adhesive can be used as the adhesive.

The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to specific examples. (Example 1) First, as a base material having a fragrance retaining function, the following two types of laminated materials were prepared by a conventional method. Laminated material (I): PET 25 / LMD ^* / Al 9 / LMD
