JP5142761B2 - Reduced price barcode label - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to a reduced price bar code label suitable for price reduction of products (also called “mark down”, “closeout”, etc.) that is performed for customers in the retail distribution industry.

  As one of the measures to prevent losing credit without the markdown being carried out despite the announcement of the markdown, a bar that contains the price information before the markdown of the product in addition to the markdown display. In order to prevent the code from being accidentally read at the cash register, if at least part of the barcode is blindfolded and an attempt is made to read the barcode, an error will be generated and the reduced price barcode must be read. They are trying to make them realize that they should not.

In Patent Document 1, it can be pasted on a price-reduced price barcode label on which at least a barcode including price-reduction price information is printed so as to be separated from the label main body and conceal a part of the price barcode before price reduction. A technique is described in which a blindfold is temporarily attached to the same mount through a slit (cut) so as to be peeled off.
However, even though it is temporarily attached to the same mount, the blindfolds must be peeled off separately, in order to match the height of the original selling price barcode (top and bottom dimensions) and the size of the blindfolds. This causes the inconvenience of having to work with both hands at all times.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional problems, and the object of the present invention is not used when the original price barcode can be obscured by the blindfold, but is useful display other than the original price barcode. If a manufacturer, seller, raw material, content, expiry date, etc. is obscured by the blindfold, separate the blindfold from the cut line and at least part of the original price barcode It is intended to provide a price-reduced price bar code label with a function that can completely adjust the bar so that it can be adjusted so that it does not obscure useful displays other than the original price bar code.

The bar code label for price reduction of the present invention made to achieve the above-mentioned problem is an original price bar code attached to the end of a roughly square price price label affixed to the surface of the price-reduced product at the time of price reduction. A bar code reader is provided from useful information such as product name, processing date, expiry date, manufacturer, seller, expiration date, raw material name, price, PR, etc. written adjacent to the original selling price bar code. The original selling price barcode is read by the label issuing device, the original data is processed and edited, printed and issued, and pasted on the surface of the price-reduced product so as to hang on the barcode of the original selling price label. The price-reduced price barcode label that cannot be read by the cash register barcode reader is generally rectangular and at least the price-reduced price information is the price-reduced price barcode. The label body is integrally formed so as to protrude from the label body, and the label body is pasted along the edge of the original selling price label so as to cover a part of the original selling price bar code and cannot be read. The useful information adjacent to the original selling price bar code is provided with a substantially rectangular blindfold that does not cover, and two sides of the outer periphery of the blindfold that protrude from the label body are orthogonal to one side of the label body and are mutually as well as a parallel, the said purpose hidden unit, the two sides parallel to cutting line projecting from the label main body is provided with one or plural rows, two sides intervals original selling price bar protruding from the label main body of the blindfold portion If it is larger than the height of the cord, cut off the unnecessary part of the blindfold from the above cut line and adapt the blindfold to the height of the original selling price barcode. It is characterized in that adjustable so as not to obscure the adjacent useful information.

According to the above configuration, since the blindfold protrudes from the label body, the blind price part covers the part of the price barcode before the price reduction by simply sticking the price reduction barcode label adjacent to the price barcode before the price reduction. It can be hidden and unreadable, and it can be prevented from accidentally scanning a bar code including price information before discounting.
The cut line is not used when only the original price barcode can be covered with a blindfold, but useful indications other than the original price barcode (manufacturer, seller, raw material, content, expiration date). Etc.) are covered by the blindfold, separate part of the blindfold from the cut line, completely cover at least some bars of the original price barcode, Useful displays can be adjusted so as not to obscure them.

  According to the present invention, even if the format (layout) of the original selling price label is slightly changed or varied, only the original selling price barcode is used with one kind of reduced price barcode label or less than the original selling price label. It is possible to deal flexibly with a discount operation so that it cannot be read and other useful information is not hidden.

  Hereinafter, embodiments will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. Here, FIG. 1 is a front view showing a reduced price bar code label according to the first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a sectional view in the direction of arrows II-II in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a reduced price in FIG. FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of another method of attaching the barcode label, FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of another method of attaching the reduced price barcode label of FIG. 1, and FIG. 5 is a reduced price barcode according to the second embodiment. FIG. 6 is an explanatory view of one attaching method of the reduced price barcode label of FIG. 5, and FIG. 7 is an explanatory view of another attaching method of the reduced price barcode label of FIG.

  In the following embodiment, a label attached with a barcode according to a NON PLU 13-digit barcode system used in a store will be described. Note that an adhesive is provided on the back surface of the label to be described, and the label is issued from a label issuing device (such as a label printer) in a state of being arranged on a peeling mount.

  The original selling price label L1 in FIG. 3 is affixed to a product (not shown, “cow shoulder boot” meat), and on its surface, the product name, processing date, expiration date, price, manufacturer, seller, etc. An original selling price bar code 1 including useful information and price information before the price reduction is displayed.

  L2 indicates a price cut barcode label according to the present invention. The reduced price barcode label L2 includes a label body 3 on which the barcode 2 including the reduced price information is printed, and a blindfold 4 integrally formed so as to protrude from the label body 3.

  In addition to the barcode information related to the price reduction, the label main body 3 also stores visual information 5 related to the price reduction. As a method of displaying the visual information 5, a method of displaying a price after closing (the price itself after the price reduction), a method of displaying a closing width (a range of price reduction such as “yen discount” or “% discount”), etc. There is.

  Reference numeral 6 denotes a cut line formed in the blindfold portion 4 in order to adapt the blindfold portion 4 to the height (top and bottom) direction dimensions of the original selling price barcode 1. By cutting the unnecessary portion 7 from the cut line 6, even if the format (layout) of the original selling price label L1 is slightly changed or has variations, there is one type of price reduction or less price than the original selling price label L1. With the bar code label L2, only the original selling price bar code 1 is made unreadable and other useful information is not hidden.

  The reduced price barcode label L2 is printed and issued by reading the original selling price label L1 with a label issuing device equipped with a barcode reading device (scanner), processing and editing the original data.

  Further, the barcode 2 is configured by adding data described in the original selling price label L1 acquired by reading the scanner at the time of the discount operation and data processed by the label issuing device (that is, price cut price) to this data. ing. That is, the barcode 2 covers code information having the same number of digits as the original selling price barcode 1.

  In order to perform markdown using the reduced price barcode label L2, as shown in FIG. 3, the label body 3 is attached along the edge of the barcode label L1 of the price before reduction. At this time, the sticking position of the blindfold 4 is made to be unreadable by reliably covering the head portion of the barcode 1 of the price before the price reduction.

  Then, when the blindfold 4 is larger than the vertical size of the original selling price barcode as shown in FIG. 4, the unnecessary portion 7 is cut off from the cut line 6 so that the size of the blindfolded portion 4 is changed to the vertical size of the original selling price barcode. To fit.

  The register operator reads the bar code including the product code with the scanner, and the product price after the closing is input to the register. Therefore, it is possible to carry out discounts at the same time simply by having the operator read the bar code at the cash register, and forgetting to discount at the cash register. In addition, since it is possible to know information before a price reduction for a product, it is possible to manage sales, display a product name corresponding to a product code, or print on a receipt with a register printer.

  As described above, according to the first embodiment, even if the format (layout) of the original selling price label is slightly changed or has variations, only one original selling price barcode is made unreadable with one kind of reduced price barcode label. Therefore, it is possible to deal flexibly with discount operations so as not to hide other useful information.

Next, FIG. 5 to FIG. 7 show a second embodiment, and the feature of this embodiment is that two cutouts are formed only in the blindfolded portion 4 instead of the cutout line 6 in the first embodiment described above. The line 10 is formed.
The operational effects of the present embodiment are almost the same as those of the first embodiment described above. In particular, according to the present embodiment, the size of only the blindfold 4 is reduced without reducing the description area of the label main body 3. Can be adjusted to the stage.
