Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sample label attached to the surface of a sample substrate mounted on a vending machine for cigarettes, canned drinks, etc., and particularly to a sample product excellent in productivity. Regarding labels.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Vending machines for cigarettes and canned beverages are usually provided with a sample of a sold product in consideration of convenience of purchase by a purchaser. As the sample, beverage cans and the like used as actual products were used as they were.

However, in recent years, a sample in which a label provided with the same indication as that of a real product is attached to a plastic base formed in substantially the same external shape or substantially the same front shape as that of the real product. Goods are being used.

As such a sample label, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, a polyethylene terephthalate film (hereinafter referred to as a PET film) having a display printing layer on the back side of which the same display as that of a real product is given. ), A label base material 71 having a predetermined shape to be attached to the surface of the base P is formed by a synthetic resin film, and a double-sided tape is applied to a part which is difficult to be seen by a purchaser, such as an end on the back side of the label base material 71. By pasting or forming an adhesive layer,
The one in which the sticking portion 72 is partially formed is generally used.

[0005]

By the way, the above-described sample label is attached while continuously feeding a long synthetic resin film having a display print layer formed on the back surface thereof at regular intervals. It is generally manufactured by a continuous process of sequentially attaching a double-sided tape to a predetermined position to be a part, or sequentially forming an adhesive layer, and sequentially cutting the adhesive layer into a predetermined shape. There is a problem that it is difficult to automatically perform an operation of forming an adhered portion in which a double-sided tape must be partially adhered to a resin film or an adhesive layer must be formed in a series of steps.

In particular, in the case of a rectangular parallelepiped product such as "tobacco", it may be necessary to apply a label not only to the front and side surfaces of the base as a prototype of the sample, but also to the upper and lower surfaces of the base. With such a sample label,
As shown in FIG. 7, the shape of the label base material 81 itself becomes complicated and a large number of sticking portions 82 must be formed around the label base material 81 having the complicated shape. It is extremely difficult to perform the forming operation automatically.

[0007] Therefore, in this type of sample label, at present, the work of forming a sticking part such as sticking of a double-sided tape is performed manually. The process also reduces the productivity of the label and thus increases the product cost of the label itself.

For this reason, it is conceivable to previously form an adhesive layer on the entire back surface side of the label base material. However, if such a configuration is adopted, the front portion of the sample which is easily noticed by the purchaser can also be formed. Since the label base material is stuck to the base, there is a problem that the stuck part becomes wet or the sticking is uneven and the appearance of the sample is impaired. .

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a sample product which can be manufactured without performing a troublesome work of forming a sticking portion and which does not impair the appearance of the sample product in a state of being stuck. Provide labels.

[0010]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention relates to a sample label attached to the surface of a sample attached to a vending machine. A label base material having a predetermined shape formed by a synthetic resin film having the adhesive base layer, an adhesive layer formed on the entire back surface of the label base material, and a mask formed so as to partially cover an exposed surface of the adhesive layer. A print layer, wherein the mask print layer is provided in a region corresponding to a front portion of the sample product, and provides a sample product label.

In the sample label thus constituted, it is necessary to partially form the adhesive layer by covering the adhesive layer formed on the entire back surface of the label substrate with a mask printing layer. No label is attached to the front part of the sample.

Further, in the case of a label substrate having the display printing layer formed on the surface thereof, it is only necessary to form the display printing layer on the surface of a commercially available pressure-sensitive adhesive film. By providing a protective layer formed of a synthetic resin film on the front side, the gloss of the label surface is increased, and the fading of the display print layer of the label base material is prevented.

[0013]

Embodiments will be described below with reference to the drawings. The sample label 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 is used for a sample product of a vending machine for cigarettes. FIG. 4 (a) is a perspective view of a state where the sample label 1 is attached to a base P which is a prototype of a sample of a cigarette as viewed from the front side, and FIG. 4 (b) is a sample of the sample. It is the perspective view which looked at the state where the label 1 for goods was stuck on the above-mentioned substrate P from the back side. As shown in the figure, the base P is a substantially rectangular parallelepiped with four rounded corners extending in the vertical direction, and is formed of a synthetic resin panel such as a transparent acrylonitrile-styrene copolymer.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the sample label 1 has a label substrate 10 having a display print layer 30 formed on the front side of a substrate film 20 formed in a predetermined shape.
And an adhesive layer 40 formed on the entire back surface of the label substrate 10, that is, the entire back surface of the substrate film 20, and a protective layer 5 formed on the entire front surface of the label substrate 10.
0 and a mask printing layer 60 partially formed on the back surface side of the adhesive layer 40 which is the exposed surface.

The base film 20 has a thickness of 25 to 50.
a front portion 21 which is formed of a transparent biaxially stretched polyester film having a thickness of μm and covers the front surface of the base P serving as a prototype of the sample, as shown in FIGS. 3 (a) and 4;
A pair of side portions 22 respectively provided on both side edges of the front portion 21 and covering both side surfaces of the base P;
1, which were connected to the upper and lower sides through perforations 26, respectively.
An upper surface portion 23 and a lower surface portion 24 that cover the upper surface and the lower surface of the base P, and a sticking that is continuously provided on both side edges of the side surface portion 22 and the peripheral edges of the upper surface portion 23 and the lower surface portion 24 through perforations 26, respectively. And a part 25. As the biaxially stretched polyester film to be used, a biaxially stretched PET film, a biaxially stretched polyethylene naphthalate film (PEN film), and the like, which are excellent in heat resistance and rigidity, are suitable.

The display print layer 30 is formed by gravure printing the same display as that displayed on the package of a genuine product on the surface side of the base film 20. FIG.
(A) The area shown by the dashed line, that is, the base film 20
Are formed on the front portion 21, the side portion 22, and the upper surface portion 23 of the main body.

The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 40 is formed of a 15-30 μm thick super-strong pressure-sensitive acrylic resin or a synthetic rubber-based pressure-sensitive adhesive. Are provided not only on the sticking portion 25 but also on the front portion 21, the side portion 22, the upper surface portion 23, and the lower surface portion 24.

The protective layer 50 is a transparent biaxially stretched P having a thickness of 15 to 40 μm containing or laminated with an ultraviolet absorber.
It is formed of a biaxially stretched polyester film such as an ET film or a biaxially stretched PEN film, has the same shape as the base film 20, and is the same at a position corresponding to the perforation 26 of the base film 20. Is provided. The reason why such a protective layer 50 is provided is to prevent fading of the display print layer 30 provided on the surface side of the base film 20 and to make the label surface glossy.

The mask printing layer 60 is formed by gravure printing using a transparent ink or a translucent ink, and as shown in FIG. 3B, a portion corresponding to the front portion of the substrate P, ie, the substrate It is provided only on the front part 21 of the film 20. Therefore, this sample label 1
Will not be attached to the front portion of the base P. Thus, the mask printing layer 60 is provided only on the front part 21 of the base film 20 because the front part of the sample, that is, the front part of the base P, which is easily noticed by the purchaser, This is for preventing the front part of the sample product from being wet with water and uneven sticking, which are caused by the sticking of the label.

Sample label 1 constructed as described above
Is attached to the substrate P in such a manner that the mask printing layer 60 is wound on the front portion of the substrate P in a state of being superimposed on the front surface of the substrate P, as shown in FIGS. A sample product in which the front, side, upper and lower surfaces of P are covered with a label is completed.

When manufacturing the sample label 1 configured as described above, first, an adhesive layer is formed on one surface of a transparent biaxially stretched PET film, and the adhesive layer is further covered with a release paper. By using a long pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet commercially available as a ready-made product, by sequentially forming the display print layer 30 on the surface of the biaxially stretched PET film,
A part corresponding to the label substrate 10 is manufactured. Next, the long release sheet of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet on which the display print layer 30 is formed is once peeled off, and the mask print layer 60 is sequentially formed at a predetermined position on the surface of the exposed pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. The surface of the adhesive layer, including 60, is again covered with the release paper. Then, after laminating the above-described biaxially stretched polyester film to be the protective layer 50 on the surface side (the display print layer 30 side) of the long pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet on which the display print layer 30 and the mask print layer 60 are formed, While sequentially forming perforations 26 and 51 at predetermined positions, the sheets are cut into a predetermined shape.

As described above, the sample label 1 is formed by masking the adhesive layer 40 formed on the entire back surface of the label substrate 10 with the mask printing layer 60, thereby forming a portion corresponding to a conventional sticking portion. Therefore, it is possible to automate the operation of forming a sticking portion such as sticking of a double-sided tape, which has been conventionally performed manually, and to improve the production efficiency of a sample label. . Further, the presence of the mask printing layer 60 allows the sample product label 1 to be placed on the front portion of the base P.
Is not affixed, so that the appearance of the front portion of the sample, which is easily noticed by the purchaser, is not impaired even when the label is attached.

Further, by forming the display printing layer 30 on the front surface side of the base film 20, as described above, an adhesive sheet sold as a ready-made product can be used. The material cost itself of the label 1 can be reduced.

In the case of a cigarette vending machine, the display is usually illuminated from the lower side of the sample product. However, as shown by a dashed line in FIG. 5, a print layer may be formed only on the peripheral portion while leaving the central portion of the lower surface portion 24. When the light is illuminated from the back of the sample, a display print layer may be provided on the entire lower surface 24.

In the above-described embodiment, the display print layer 30 is provided on the front side of the base film 20.
The display print layer 30 may be provided between the adhesive layer 40 and the adhesive layer 40. In this case, a commercially available pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet cannot be used, but there is an effect that the protective layer 50 can be omitted.

In the above-described embodiment, the protective layer 50 is formed of a transparent biaxially stretched polyester film containing or laminated with an ultraviolet absorber, but the ordinary polyester film itself has an ultraviolet absorbing effect. Therefore, it is not always necessary to use a polyester film containing or laminating an ultraviolet absorber. However, it is needless to say that the use of a material containing or laminated with an ultraviolet absorber can prevent the fading of the display print layer 30 for a long period of time.

The display print layer 30 is preferably formed by gravure printing in consideration of mass production. However, when formed by screen printing having an ink thickness, the effect of preventing the display print layer 30 from fading is further improved. be able to. In addition, a metal stamp hot stamp can be used together.

Although the polypropylene film and the polycarbonate film are inferior in heat resistance and the like as compared with the above-mentioned polyester film, such a film can be used as a material for forming the protective layer 50.

In the above-described embodiment, the mask print layer 60 is formed only in the region corresponding to the front portion of the base P. However, the mask print layer 60 extends to the side portion of the sample product which is somewhat noticeable to the purchaser. The print layer 60 may be enlarged. The mask printing layer 60 may be white, other than transparent or translucent, as long as it has translucency.

The perforations 26 and 51 are provided for facilitating the folding of the label, and are not necessarily provided. Also,
A fold may be formed instead of the perforations 26 and 51.

In the above-described embodiment, a label for a sample product of tobacco has been described. However, it goes without saying that the present invention can be applied to labels of various sample products such as canned beverages.

[0032]

As described above, the sample label of the present invention employs a configuration in which the adhesive layer formed on the entire back surface of the label substrate is covered with the mask printing layer. This eliminates the need for a complicated process of partially forming an adhesive layer at a plurality of locations on the periphery of the label base material, thereby improving the productivity of the label and thus reducing the product cost of the label itself. . In addition, the presence of the mask printing layer prevents the label from being attached to the front portion of the base material serving as the prototype of the sample, and does not impair the appearance of the completed sample.

In particular, in the case of a label substrate having a display printing layer on the surface side, it is only necessary to form the display printing layer on the surface of a commercially available pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, thereby further reducing the manufacturing cost. be able to.
