Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a container with a cylindrical label and a cylindrical label to which an auxiliary label having a display such as a design visible from a window is attached on the inner surface side.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, as a container for soft drinks such as tea and juice, from a film in which the product name, design, description about the contents, etc. are printed on the glass or plastic container body that is filled with soft drinks that are the contents The thing which inserts and mounts the cylindrical label which becomes this is well-known. In the beverage product, for example, for the purpose of sales promotion, a premium campaign such as various prizes is frequently performed by the purchaser of the beverage product applying, and when performing such a campaign, As shown in FIG. 6A, an application sticker (tack label) 30 is stuck on the outer surface of the film 31.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
[0004]
A tack label 30 such as an application sticker is attached to the film 31 by a labeler or an operator, but it is difficult to attach the tack label 30 to a predetermined position with high accuracy. In addition, when the tack label 30 has a polygonal shape such as a star shape or a character shape, if the tack label 30 tilts in an unspecified direction or is displaced, the commercial value is lowered. . In particular, if the positions of the tack label 30 and the print display 32 of the film 31 are shifted, there is no sense of unity, and there is a risk that the meaning of the symbol will not be understood (see FIGS. 6B and 6C).
[0005]
In addition, since the tack label as an application sticker is attached to the outer surface of the film constituting the cylindrical label body, the application sticker may be peeled off by mischief at the store, etc. There is a risk that the tuck label will be rubbed and inadvertently peeled off due to handling.
[0006]
Moreover, when recycling the container body, it is preferable to separate and collect the cylindrical label made of different materials from the container body, but most purchasers do not always peel the cylindrical label from the container body for the purpose of collection. The present condition is that the container main body is collected with the cylindrical label attached.
[0007]
The present invention makes it possible to visually check the auxiliary label provided on the inner surface of the film constituting the cylindrical label main body with a unified shape and position from a pre-formed window, thereby obtaining a unity design as a whole. At the same time, it is an object to prevent mischief at a storefront or the like and prevent it from being carelessly peeled off.
Furthermore, by using the auxiliary label as a tack label such as an application sticker, it is an object to positively separate the cylindrical label from the purchaser and contribute to the collection of the container body.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a shrink label using a design such as a hologram that could not be applied to a shrink label due to the adverse effects of heat shrinkage.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention, in order to solve the above problems, has been made as a cylindrical label, characterized as the tubular label is cylindrical consisting constituting printed has been subjected film (3) into a tubular shape In the cylindrical label provided with the label main body (4), a window (5) having an arbitrary shape is formed in the film (3), and the inner surface of the film (3) is interposed through the window (5). The auxiliary label (8) is provided so that it can be visually observed, and the auxiliary label (8) is not visually visible from the outside of the label main body (4) for any indication such as whale information. The auxiliary label (8) is attached to the film (3) in a peelable manner.
[0009]
The film (3) is preferably made of a heat shrinkable film. Moreover, this invention provides the container with a cylindrical label with which the said cylindrical label was mounted | worn with the container main body (10).
[0010]
Here, the window is a part of a non-printing state that is not printed at all provided on a transparent film on which printing has been performed. Including the state part.
[0011]
In addition, it is preferable to use a tack label with a design such as a hologram as an auxiliary label, but the present invention is not limited to this, and has a design that has been difficult to express with a shrink label until now. For example, a transfer foil, metal metallic paper, foil paper, Japanese paper, polarized pearl-printed paper or film, etc. may be used singly or in combination.
[0012]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a cylindrical label 1 according to the present invention. The cylindrical label 1 is provided with a label main body 4 formed in a cylindrical shape by bonding both ends of the film 3, and the cylindrical label 1 is made of, for example, polyester and has a substantially rectangular cross section (see FIG. 3). (Square) container body 10 is mounted at an arbitrary position. In the present embodiment, the cylindrical label 1 is attached to the upper part of the trunk portion of the container body 10.
[0013]
The film 3 has, for example, transparency, and a label printing layer 6 as specific printing for displaying, for example, a product name, a design, an explanation about the contents, a barcode, etc. is provided on one surface (inside the cylindrical label). Is provided. As the cylindrical label 1, in order to make it easy to recycle the container body 10, the shrink label having heat shrinkability and the stretch label having elastic stretchability can be easily removed from the container body 10 by cutting. Such a non-adhesive film (attached to the container body without using an adhesive) is generally employed. In order to easily break the film, it is preferable to provide a perforation 9 as shown in FIG.
[0014]
As the film 3 for shrink labels, a heat-shrinkable film having a thickness of 20 μm to 80 μm made of polyester resin, polystyrene resin, polypropylene resin, polyvinyl chloride or the like is used.
[0015]
Moreover, as the film 3 for stretch labels, the film which consists of a polyethylene-type resin etc. which has elastic elasticity is used.
[0016]
One or more windows 5 are formed at predetermined positions on the film 3. Each window 5 refers to a transparent portion generated by no printing. The shape of the window 5 is arbitrarily set, and examples thereof include a star-shaped window 5a and a circular window 5b. In addition, a character display 7 is appropriately printed in the circular window 5b.
[0017]
A tack label 8 as an auxiliary label is detachably attached to the inner surface of the film 3 so as to close each window 5. The size of the tack label 8 is set larger than the size of each of the windows 5a and 5b as shown in FIGS. Further, the tack label 8 can be manufactured in a circular shape or a rectangular shape that is unrelated to the shape of the window 5a even if the windows 5a and 5b are pointed or star-shaped or have a vertical direction. Simple shapes are used. Since the peripheral portions of the windows 5a and 5b are printed, only the portion of the tack label 8 corresponding to the windows 5a and 5b is visible, and the peripheral portion of the tack label 8 is concealed by printing of the film 3. Yes.
[0018]
The tack label 8 includes a transparent plastic film (preferably a polyester film having heat resistance) 10 having a thickness of 10 μm to 100 μm, for example, and a transparent adhesive provided on one surface of the plastic film 10 as shown in FIG. It consists of an agent layer (for example, weak adhesive layer) 11, an inner hologram processing surface layer 12 and an outer vapor deposition layer 13 provided on the other surface of the film. The tack label 8 may be provided with a hologram processing surface layer 12, a vapor deposition layer 13 and an adhesive layer 11 in this order on the other surface side of the plastic film 10 as shown in FIG.
[0019]
In the case where the tack label 8 is used as an application sticker, for example, a display such as “win” or “miss” or a number of application points “1” to “5” is printed on the surface of the vapor deposition layer 13. In addition, when a buyer applies a plurality of labels together so that a predetermined score is obtained, such as “winning” or “losing” indication, or “1 point” to “5 points”, etc. Thus, it is preferable that each display can be confirmed after the cylindrical label 1 is peeled off.
[0020]
Here, it is necessary to keep the display of “win” or “miss” or the number of application points from being visible from the outside of the container, and when the container is a transparent container such as a PET bottle. The display method is applied when the contents of the container are opaque such as coffee or caller. When the content is transparent or translucent, a method of applying a printed layer between the shrink label and the auxiliary label, a peelable double label, or the like can be selected.
[0021]
Since the tack label 8 can visually observe the hologram processing surface 12a through the plastic film 10 and the adhesive layer 11, the reflected light reflected by the incident light on the surface of the hologram processing surface having a fine concavo-convex pattern is made to interfere with each other. The purchaser's eyes are visually recognized as holographic images with decorative colors.
[0022]
Next, the manufacturing method of the said cylindrical label is demonstrated.
First, a wide transparent film 3 is unwound from a long roll, and a predetermined printing consisting of a product display such as a beverage is continuously printed by a known printing machine such as letterpress printing or screen printing, gravure printing, and the film. After forming the window 5 at the predetermined position (leaving the non-printed portion), the film 3 is wound up again. Since each window 5 is formed by printing, it can be formed at a certain position without tilting or shifting. In addition, the wide film is cut into a predetermined width (a wide transparent film is cut into a plurality of strips so as to correspond to a predetermined length in the circumferential direction of the container body). The film is rewound and slit by a slitter, and then wound into a roll.
[0023]
Next, as shown in FIG. 4, the film 3 is fed out from the long film 15 of a roll-shaped film slit to a predetermined width, and the tack labels 8a and 8b set on, for example, a labeler (not shown) are sequentially peeled from the separator. Then, the film 3 is sequentially attached to the inner surface side of the film 3 and the window portion. The tack labels 8a and 8b are stuck to the film 3 even if the sticking position of the tack label is slightly shifted or inclined with respect to the window. Since it is formed, it does not protrude from the window even when a high-speed operation is performed using a conventionally known labeler.
[0024]
An adhesive nozzle 20 is provided at a downstream position of the labeler. The adhesive nozzle 20 applies an adhesive to one end edge 15a of the film 3 to be fed and overlaps both end edges 15a and 15b. Then, they are bonded (joined), and again wound into a roll as a long cylindrical body (roll product) 15a. In addition, the imaginary line L shown to the same figure shows the cutting position for cut | disconnecting the elongate film 3 to the length for every cylindrical label 1. FIG.
[0025]
Next, in the step of attaching the cylindrical label to the container body, when the cylindrical label is a shrink label, the roll product 15a is set on a shrink labeler, the roll product 15a is fed out in a flat state, and the cutting line L A single cylindrical label 1 is formed by cutting (dividing) the position with a cutter, and each label 1 is opened and inserted into a container body 10 filled with empty or contents, and then the container body 10 A container with a label is manufactured by shrinking and mounting the label 1 inserted into the container 1 by heating means such as hot air or a steam heater (see FIG. 3).
[0026]
Since the cylindrical label 1 has a small area of the tack label 8 with respect to the film 3 and the tack label 8 is adhered to the film 3 with weak adhesive force, the tack label 8 and the film 3 In the meantime, a slight shift occurs through the adhesive, so that the hologram function of the tack label 8 is not adversely affected and deteriorated. Except for the case where peeling is necessary, such as for a campaign, it is possible to employ a strong adhesive as long as it is not affected by the shrinkage of the film.
When the cylindrical label 1 is a stretch label, the heating step is not necessary because the label is expanded in the radial direction, expanded, inserted into the container body, and attached by elastic contraction force. Therefore, there is no influence on the hologram function of the tack label.
[0027]
As described above, since the tack labels 8a and 8b of the present embodiment are subjected to hologram processing, when the container is displayed at a storefront, the tack label has a gloss or the like and a high-class feeling is obtained. . Since the cylindrical label 1 mounted on the container body 10 is located on the back side of the label, the tack label may be carelessly peeled off, or the tack label may be rubbed off during transportation or handling. Absent.
[0028]
In addition, since the portions other than those visible from the windows 5 of the tack labels 8a and 8b are concealed by the printing layer 6 of the film 3, the tack labels 8a and 8b are adhered to the film 3, The edge portion of the tack label becomes inconspicuous, and there is a sense of unity between the pattern 6a applied to the printing layer 6 of the film 3 and the tack label. Therefore, a complicated design and shape (that is, a design that is difficult to express by sticking a tack label on the outer surface of the label, such as a hologram), which has been difficult with a conventional shrink label or the like, can be applied.
[0029]
And a purchaser peels off the tack labels 8a and 8b given to the inner surface of the film 3, after removing and removing the cylindrical label 1 from the container main body 10 by separating or pulling off the cylindrical label 1. it can. For example, when applying one or a plurality of tack labels together, it is possible to apply based on the respective rules.
[0030]
Thus, since the purchaser has to peel and remove the cylindrical label 1 from the container main body 10 in order to apply, when collecting the container main body, the container main body 10 and the cylindrical label 1 are separated. There is an advantage that you can buy a part.
[0031]
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and the tack label is not limited to a hologram processed one, and may be one subjected to normal printing.
[0032]
The shape, size, and sticking position of the auxiliary label can be arbitrarily set. For example, as shown in FIG. 5 (a), the cylindrical label 1 made of a shrink film having heat shrinkability is attached to the container body 10. In the case where it is provided on substantially the whole (from the shoulder portion to the lower portion of the trunk portion), it can be provided only on the shoulder portion at an upper position or a lower position of the trunk portion. It is preferable to stick a small tack label 8 on the shoulder portion of the cylindrical label 1 having a large shrinkage rate. In addition, when the area of the tack label 8 is large, it is preferable to use a weak adhesive. However, a strong adhesive can be used as long as it is not affected by the shrinkage of the film. is there.
[0033]
Moreover, the auxiliary label may have a structure (thermal label) bonded to a film via a heat sensitive adhesive such as a hot melt adhesive or a delayed adhesive, in addition to the tack label to be peeled off.
Similarly, when the container body 10 is a round bottle, a tack label 8 can be provided on an arbitrary portion of the tubular film body 4 as shown in FIG. Moreover, the material of the container main body 10 is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a PET bottle (PET bottle), a glass bottle, a metal can, a plastic cup, and a paper cup.
[0034]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the film constituting the cylindrical label main body of the present invention is formed with a window having an arbitrary shape, and an auxiliary label is provided on the inner surface of the film so that the film can be seen through the window. Therefore, even if the auxiliary label is set to a size unrelated to the window, or even if the auxiliary label is provided with a slight inclination, the auxiliary label can be visually observed in a unified shape and position from the window. The print can be designed with a sense of unity.
[0035]
Further, since the auxiliary label is provided on the inner surface of the film, it is possible to prevent mischief at a storefront or the like and to prevent it from being scraped and inadvertently peeled off.
Further, by using the auxiliary label as a tack label such as an application seal, there is an advantage that the purchaser can actively separate the cylindrical label and contribute to the collection of the container body.
[0036]
Further, when the auxiliary label is formed of a tack label on which hologram processing is performed, it is possible to obtain a glossy and high-class feeling that has been difficult to express with a shrink label.
