[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a container in which a non-adhesive main label with an indication is attached to a container body, and more particularly, to a container in which a tack label is separately attached to give an additional indication.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, as a container for soft drinks such as tea and juice, the contents of the glass or plastic container main body filled with the soft drink or the like, and the contents attached to the body of the container main body. In general, containers with main labels displaying advertising and advertisements are used, and the main label attached to the container body can be cut by cutting the container body to make the container body easier to recycle. Non-adhesive labels (attached to the container body without the use of adhesives) such as shrink labels with heat-shrinkability and stretch labels with elastic elasticity are generally used. Has been.
[0003]
By the way, in beverage products as described above, for the purpose of promoting sales, premium campaigns such as various prizes are frequently conducted by the purchase of beverage products, and such campaigns are performed. In some cases, in addition to the usual main label attached to the container body, an application sticker or a campaign tack label is separately attached to the container so that the application sticker or campaign-specific display is displayed on the container. .
[0004]
However, if application stickers or campaign tack labels as described above are directly attached to the container body, when recycling used containers, application stickers or campaign tack labels remaining on the container body There is a problem that it is necessary to perform a very time-consuming work such as peeling one by one, and the container cannot be efficiently recycled.
[0005]
For this reason, the application sticker and the tack label for the campaign are not directly attached to the container body, but as described above, the main label composed of a shrink label or a stretch label that can be easily separated from the container body. It has been desired to stick it on top, and in the past, after applying a non-adhesive main label to the container body, such application stickers and tack labels were attached to the main label.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, since various indications such as trademarks, descriptions of contents, barcodes, etc. are also given to the above-mentioned main labels, the above-described main labels are not covered by various indications. When trying to attach a tack label for a campaign, it is not possible to secure a large display area on the tack label itself, and even if such a tack label is used, a sufficient advertising effect cannot be demonstrated. There's a problem.
[0007]
In addition, among the various indications given to the main label, even if some of the indications other than the barcode are concealed by the tack label, there is no significant effect, but some of the barcodes are not. Since the bar code cannot be read at the store only by being concealed by the tack label, it is necessary to pay sufficient attention to the sticking position of the tack label.
[0008]
In the case of a square bottle whose body is square, the container is normally positioned during labeling, so the surface of the main label that does not have a barcode displayed on it, so that the tack label does not cover the barcode. Affixing the tack label to the label can be done to some extent easily, but in the case of round bottles where the container is not normally positioned during labeling, the tack label should not be applied to the barcode displayed on the main label. There is a problem that it is not easy to wear.
[0009]
Also, in the case of round bottles, the body surface of the container body where the main label is attached often has a cubic surface, and a large tack label is automatically attached to these round bottles by a labeling device. If this is done, the entire tack label cannot be pressed along the surface of the main label, which is a cubic surface, and the tack label may partially lift from the container or wrinkles may occur. There is also a problem that it cannot be reliably adhered onto the main label.
[0010]
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to secure a certain display area on the tack label attached to the main label on which the display is given, and to hide the display on the main label by the tack label. It is to provide a bitter container.
[0011]
[Means for solving the problems and effects thereof]
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the invention according to claim 1 is directed to a container in which a non-adhesive main label with a display is mounted on a container body, and a tack label is separately mounted to perform additional display. are, the tack labels, and the main label transparent bond portion to be stuck, and a continuously provided to the display unit to the attaching unit, said tack label facilities before Symbol main label The container is characterized in that it is attached to only a part of the main label without concealing the displayed indication.
[0012]
In the container configured as described above, since the sticking part of the tack label attached to the main label is transparent, even if the sticking part partially covers the barcode applied to the main label, The barcode can be read.
[0013]
Moreover, in this container, since the tack label is provided with the display part connected with the sticking part, like the container of Claim 3 or Claim 4, a display part is stretched outside the main label. By sticking this tack label sticking part to the main label, the display on the main label is hidden more than necessary by the tack label display part even if the area of the display part is increased to some extent. In addition, since a certain amount of display area can be secured on the display portion, a sufficient advertising effect can be exhibited by this tack label.
[0014]
Moreover, like the container of Claim 2, the said sticking part of the said tack label is smaller than the said display part, and the magnitude | size which can hold | maintain the said display part with respect to the said main label with which the said container main body was mounted | worn. In the case where the container body is a round bottle, even if the body surface on which the main label is attached becomes a cubic curved surface, the container body is stuck on it. The tack label is unlikely to be lifted or wrinkled, and the label labeling device can automatically attach the tack label reliably.
[0015]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, this tack label 10 has a display for a campaign performed for promoting sales of beverage products, and is a body of a container body B made of a polyethylene terephthalate round bottle. It is affixed on a cylindrical shrink label L which is attached to the part as a main label and which is displayed with explanations about contents (not shown), display of bar code c, and the like.
[0016]
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the tack label 10 is attached to the shrink label L attached to the body portion of the container main body B, and the sticking portion 10 a is continuously provided. The sticking part 10a is sufficiently smaller than the display part 10b so that the display part 10b can be held in a predetermined state with respect to the shrink label L. It is set.
[0017]
The tack label 10 is composed of a transparent label base material 11 made of a polypropylene film constituting the sticking part 10a and the display part 10b, and a transparent adhesive layer 12 laminated on the entire back surface side of the label base material 11, Of the exposed surface of the adhesive layer 12, the display print layer 13 and the display print layer 13 laminated on the surface side of the label substrate 11 so as to cover the entire area of the display unit 10b. The mask printing layer 14 is laminated so as to cover the entire area, and the sticking portion 10a including the label base material 11 and the adhesive layer 12 is transparent and covers the mask printing layer 14. The broken display portion 10b is in an unbonded state.
[0018]
The label substrate 11 can be formed of various synthetic resin films such as polyester film, synthetic paper, metal foil, or the like in addition to the polypropylene film described above, and the display printing layer 13 and the mask printing layer 14 are relief printing plates. It can be formed by rotary printing, screen printing, gravure printing or the like.
[0019]
As shown in FIG. 1, the tack label 10 configured as described above shrinks the sticking portion 10 a so that the display portion 10 b projects upward from the upper end edge of the shrink label L attached to the container main body B. When attached to the upper end portion of the label L, the display portion 10b stands upward from the outer peripheral surface of the body portion of the container main body B and is separated from the neck portion of the small diameter, so that it is easily noticeable. A sufficient advertising effect is exhibited, and the display unit 10b hardly hides the trademark or the description of the contents displayed on the shrink label L.
[0020]
Moreover, since the sticking part 10a is transparent as described above, even if the sticking part 10a partially covers the display part of the shrink label L, the tack label 10 is partially displayed. It is not concealed and the display effect by the shrink label L is not hindered.
[0021]
Further, when the container main body B is such a round bottle, since the labeling is not normally performed in the state where the bottle is positioned in the circumferential direction in the labeling device, the sticking portion 10a of the tack label 10 is As shown in FIG. 1, the barcode c displayed on the shrink label L may partially cover the upper end of the barcode c, but the sticking portion 10a is transparent, so that the barcode c is partially hidden by the tack label 10. In other words, the attached tack label 10 does not interfere with the reading of the barcode c at the store.
[0022]
Moreover, since the magnitude | size of the sticking part 10a is set small enough compared with the display part 10b as mentioned above, let's stick the sticking part 10a of the tack label 10 as shown in FIG. Even when the surface of the shrink label L is a tertiary curved surface along the outer peripheral surface of the body portion of the container body B, which is a round bottle, the labeling device ensures that the sticking portion 10a is placed on the surface of the shrink label L. Since it can hold down, the sticking part 10a does not become the state of the sticking failure which partially floated from the surface of the shrink label L, or wrinkles occur in the sticking part 10a and the display part 10b. The tack label 10 can be automatically mounted in a clean and attractive state.
[0023]
In addition, when the container main body B is the round bottle mentioned above, although the tack label 10 becomes a form suitable for the automatic mounting | wearing by a labeling apparatus, so that the magnitude | size of the sticking part 10a is made small, If the size is extremely small, the attached tack label 10 can be easily peeled off or the display unit 10b cannot be held upright. Needless to say.
[0024]
In this embodiment, as described above, the entire display unit 10b is in a non-adhered state. However, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the formation area of the mask print layer 14 is set to be larger than that of the display unit 10b. By reducing the size, an adhesive region α in which the adhesive layer 12 is partially exposed is formed on the adhesive portion 10a side of the display portion 10b, and from the transparent adhesive portion 10a to the adhesive region α of the display portion 10b, You may make it stick on the shrink label L which is a label.
[0025]
Moreover, in this embodiment, as above-mentioned, the adhesion layer 12 is formed in the whole area | region of the adhesion part 10a and the display part 10b, and the whole area | region of the display part 10b of this adhesion layer 12 is covered with the mask printing layer 14. Thus, the display unit 10b is in a non-adhered state. However, for example, the mask print layer can be omitted by forming an adhesive layer only in the entire region of the sticking unit.
[0026]
In the embodiment described above, the case where the container main body B is a round bottle has been described. However, as shown in FIG. 6, when the container main body B is a square bottle, the surface of the mounted shrink label L is a flat surface. Therefore, even if the size of the sticking portion 20a of the tack label 20 is somewhat larger than the sticking portion 10a of the tack label 10 described above, the tack label 20 can be automatically mounted in a good-looking state by the labeling device. . In addition, when the container main body B is a square bottle, it cannot be overemphasized that the tack label 10 mentioned above may be mounted | worn.
[0027]
In addition, when the container body B is a square bottle, the container body B is generally positioned in the circumferential direction of the body when the label is automatically mounted by the labeling device. The tack labels 10 and 20 can be selectively attached so as to avoid an important display portion such as a barcode portion. Therefore, if there is no particular problem even if the non-important display part other than the barcode of the shrink label L is concealed by the display parts 10b and 20b of the tack labels 10 and 20, the display parts 10b and 20b are intentionally attached to the shrink label L. It is not necessary to attach the tack labels 10 and 20 so as to project outside, but in consideration of the advertising effect by the tack labels 10 and 20, the display units 10 b and 20 b project to the outside of the shrink label L. It is desirable to attach the tack labels 10 and 20.
[0028]
As described above, the tack labels 10 and 20 are attached to the non-adhesive shrink label L attached to the container main body B so that the container can be easily recycled. In spite of this, it is possible to secure the large display portions 10b and 20b that exhibit a sufficient advertising effect without concealing the display portion of the shrink label L. It can be said that it is the best form as a label to be separately attached for application.
[0029]
In the above-described embodiment, the tack label for simply performing the display for the campaign has been described. For example, a perforation is formed at the display portion 10b portion or the boundary portion between the display portion 10b and the attaching portion 10a. A part or all of the display unit 10b is separated by the perforation and used as an application ticket for a premium campaign, or the adhesive layer 12 is covered with a release paper instead of the mask printing layer 14 described above. By forming a cut in the label base material 11 and the adhesive layer 12, it is possible to cut off part or all of the display unit 10a and use it as an application seal.
[0030]
Moreover, in this embodiment, although the case where the shrink label L was employ | adopted as a main label with which the container main body B was mounted | worn was demonstrated, the main label is not limited to a shrink label and various non-adhesives, such as a stretch label Sex labels can be used.
[0031]
Moreover, in embodiment mentioned above, although it is trying to stick the adhesion parts 10a and 20a of the tack labels 10 and 20 to the upper end part of the shrink label L which is a main label, it is not limited to this, For example, when the container main body B is a square bottle, the sticking portions 10a and 10b are attached to the side edges of the front portion of the shrink label L so that the display portions 10b and 20b protrude to the side of the trunk portion of the container main body B. Various mounting modes such as sticking can be employed.
