Description

  The present invention relates to a label suitable for price reduction (also referred to as closing, discounting, discounting) of a product and a label attaching method.

  For example, at supermarkets and the like, sales are being made by reducing the price of products. In particular, fresh foods are priced down when the expiry date (or expiry date) approaches and are sold as part-time products. In such a part-off product, a cashier operator forgets to lower the price reduction process, which causes trouble. Therefore, a label issuance / pasting method and a price reduction method for preventing the cashier operator from forgetting the price reduction process are known ( For example, see Patent Document 1).

In Patent Document 1, there is a label after a parting line provided with a code display part on which a bar code after the parting is printed and a visual recognition part for recognizing price reduction information by a notation such as “200 yen discount from display price” via a cutting line. It is used. The bar code on the original selling price label affixed to the product is overlaid on the bar code on the original selling price label, and the bar code on the original selling price label is prevented from being read by the cashier scanner. In addition, there is disclosed a method in which the price reduction process at the register can be reliably performed by reading the bar code after the parting printed on the code display unit. Moreover, the visual recognition part is affixed on the conspicuous part of goods, and is used as an application which appeals that it is a parting product.
However, since the code display part in Patent Document 1 is rectangular and is overlaid and pasted so as to cover all the bar codes of the original selling price label, the printing layout (barcode printing position) of the original selling price label changes. There is a problem that necessary information such as the product name other than the barcode displayed on the original selling price label, the expiration date, the raw material of the product, the place of origin, and the processing date are hidden by the code display unit.

JP 2002-358014 A

  The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a label and a label that can hide only desired information (for example, a barcode) among information displayed on the original selling price label. It is in the point which provides the sticking method.

The label according to the present invention is a label comprising a long mount having a release agent on the surface, a barcode which is temporarily attached in the longitudinal direction of the mount and includes price reduction information printed on the surface, and an adhesive on the back surface. body and the part so as to protrude from the label body to the outside is closed and a stuck or temporarily attached to the blind pieces to said adhesive, said blindfold member is longitudinally two parallel to the mount The label main body is partitioned by slits or perforations, and the label main body is temporarily attached so that a part of the label main body overlaps the blindfold .
Further, the blindfold is provided with a release agent, and the blindfold is temporarily attached on the release agent via the adhesive.
The label body is provided with a slit for preventing re-sticking .
Also, a label to be attached on top of the blind strips over the bar code that contains the original selling price attached to a commodity, the width length of the blind strips is shorter than the length of the side of the label main body, The bar code including the original selling price is longer than or equal to the length in the vertical direction.
Further, the label sticking method according to the present invention includes a bar code including price reduction information printed on the front surface and a label main body provided with an adhesive on the back surface, and a part of the adhesive sticking out so as to protrude outward from the label main body. A method of applying a label having a blindfold stuck or temporarily attached to an agent, wherein the blindfold is once peeled off and re- attached to a different position of the label main body at least in a protruding direction or a protruding length. Any one of them can be changed, and depending on the position where the barcode including the original selling price is attached to the product, at least one of the protruding direction or the protruding length of the blindfold is changed and attached to the product. At least a part of the barcode including the original selling price is pasted with the pressure-sensitive adhesive in a state of being overlaid so as to be covered with a blindfold.
Also, a bar code comprising the original selling price is based on selling price label affixed to the product being printed with visible information such as product name, the blindfold piece, without hiding the visual information, the original selling price It is characterized in that it is stuck in a state of being overlapped so as to hide only the barcode including it.

By overlapping a part of the barcode including the original selling price information attached to the product so as to cover it with a blindfold, and sticking a label on the product with an adhesive that appears in the area where the blindfold is not temporarily attached , By using the blindfold, the barcode cannot be read, and forgetting to discount at the cash register can be prevented.
Moreover, since the label main body is torn when it is peeled off by forming a slit for preventing re-sticking on the label main body, it can be prevented that the label main body is re-attached to a product not subject to discount.
In addition, it is possible to change at least one of the protruding direction and the protruding length with respect to the label main body by temporarily attaching blindfold pieces at different positions with respect to the label main body, so that the original selling price information as unnecessary information accompanying the price reduction It is possible to paste only the bar code including the mark without hiding necessary visual information.
In addition, the blindfold is formed by dividing it with two slits or perforations parallel to the longitudinal direction of the long mount. Slits or perforations can be formed.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of an embodiment of an original selling price label affixed to a product. 2A and 2B are diagrams showing a configuration of an embodiment of a label according to the present invention. FIG. 2A is a plan view, and FIG. 2B is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the configuration of a roll-shaped label in which a plurality of labels shown in FIG. 1 are arranged.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the original selling price label 20 has a product name, place of origin, processing date, expiry date, product content, price, visual information such as a seller on the surface, and the original selling price information before the price reduction. The barcode 21 is printed and attached to the product (container) 7 “pork cut piece” with the adhesive on the back side. The visual information printed on the original selling price label 20 in FIG. 1 is an example and varies depending on the type of goods. For example, in the case of processed foods, in addition to the above information, raw materials, allergic substances, food additives, storage Information such as method is added as needed. Further, the barcode 21 may be directly printed on a product container.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the label 1 according to the present invention includes a bar code 2 including price reduction price information, a label main body 3 printed with a visual recognition information of “20% discount of display price”, and a label main body 3. An adhesive 5 provided on the back surface and a blindfold piece 4 temporarily attached to a part of the adhesive 5 are provided. In addition, the visual information of the discount is “20% discount of the display price” as an example, but information indicating the price reduction range such as “half price of the display price”, “50 yen discount from the display price”, “three discounts of the display price”, etc. Alternatively, it may be information indicating the price itself after the price reduction, such as “Price after price reduction ¥ 198”.

  In addition, a contour 6 printed with a conspicuous color, such as red or yellow, is provided inside the periphery of the four sides of the label body 3, and the consumer 7 is informed that the product 7 to which the label 1 is attached is to be discounted. You can appeal. Further, the barcode 2 can include price information before the price reduction in addition to the price reduction price information. By reading this barcode with a cash register scanner, the price before the price reduction (480 yen) and the price after the price reduction ( 384 yen) or the difference (96 yen) can be printed on the receipt at the cash register.

  The blindfold 4 has one end in the longitudinal direction protruding outward from the label main body 3, and part of the other end is temporarily attached to the adhesive 5. Further, the width L2 of the protruding portion of the blindfold 4 is shorter than the length L1 of at least one of the four sides of the label body 3 (the side on which the blindfold 4 protrudes), and the barcode 21 It is formed longer than the length L3 in the vertical direction.

  FIG. 3 is a schematic perspective view of the roll-shaped label 10 that enables the printer to print the barcode 2 and the visual recognition information of the discount on the label main body 3. The roll label 10 is configured by temporarily attaching a long mount 11 having a release agent 13 such as silicone on the surface, and a plurality of label bodies 3 on the mount 11 at regular intervals in the longitudinal direction. Yes. The blindfold 4 is defined as a part of the mount 11 surrounded by slits 12 (cuts) formed in the mount 11, and is provided so as to be separable from the mount 11. When the label body 3 is peeled off the mount 11, the blindfold 4 is held on the label body 3 by the adhesive 5, the blindfold 4 is separated from the mount 11 by the slit 12, and the blindfold 4 is peeled off together with the label body 3. FIG. 2, the label body 3 is temporarily attached via the release agent 13.

A method for reducing the price using the label 1 will be described. FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram for explaining a label attaching method.
As shown in FIG. 4, a part of the barcode 21 of the original selling price label 20 affixed to the product 7 is overlapped so as to be covered with the blindfold 4 of the label 1 (in the region where the blindfold 4 is not temporarily attached). The label 1 is affixed on the product 7 (and the original selling price label 20) with the adhesive 5 to be exposed. Thus, the barcode 21 can be made unreadable by hiding the barcode 21 of the original selling price label 20 by the blindfold piece 4. That is, when the cashier operator tries to read the barcode 21 of the original selling price label 20 with the scanner, a reading error can be generated, so that the price before the price reduction is surely prevented from being input to the cashier. The price reduction can be input to the cash register simply by reading the barcode 2 including the price reduction price information printed on the label 1. The barcode 21 may be affixed so as to cover the entire barcode 21. For the purpose of making the barcode 21 unreadable, the barcode 21 is overlapped so as to hide at least a part of the barcode 21 as described above. Just stick it on.

  Further, since the blindfold 4 is provided with a release agent 13 on the surface thereof similarly to the mount 11, it can be easily peeled off from the adhesive 5 of the label main body 3, and the protruding direction with respect to the label main body 3 is designated as the label main body 3. You can change and paste it at a different position. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a state where a label in which the projection direction of the blindfold is changed to the right side of the label body is affixed to the product, and FIG. It is explanatory drawing.

  2 to 4, the label 1 is protruded from the left side of the label main body 3. However, as shown in FIG. 5, the sticking position with respect to the label main body 3 is set so as to protrude the blindfold from the right side which is the other side. By changing, the protruding direction can be changed. The original sale price label 20 affixed to the product 7 shown in FIG. 5 is affixed in the vicinity of the right end of the product 7 and the bar code 21 is printed on the left side of the original sale price label 20. As shown, when the label 1 with the blindfold 4 protruding from the left side of the label main body 3 is attached, the visual information of the original selling price label 20 ("Domestic" which is the origin information and "Broken" which is a part of the product name) is obtained. It is hidden by the label body 3. However, the label 1 in a state where the blindfold piece 4 is once peeled off from the label body 3 and temporarily attached with the blindfold piece 4 protruding from the right side of the label body 3 as shown by the solid line in FIG. By sticking to the position where the blindfold 4 overlaps the code 21, it is possible to hide only unnecessary information (barcode 21) without hiding necessary information (visual information) on the original selling price label 20.

  Similarly, the blindfold 4 can be changed to an arbitrary direction by temporarily attaching the blindfold 4 to a different position with respect to the label main body 3. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, a label such as a blindfold 4A protruding from the upper side of the label body 3, a blindfold 4B protruding from the lower side of the label body 3, or a blindfold 4C protruding from a corner of the label body 3 is used. By arranging the blindfold protruding from the main body 3 at any position, it can be changed to any position. If the direction of the slit 12 to the mount 11 of the roll label 10 is changed in advance, the initial protruding position where the blindfold 4 protrudes from the label body 3 can be changed.

  Further, by changing the printing direction with respect to the label 1, the projecting direction of the blindfold piece 4 can be substantially changed. FIG. 7 is an explanatory view for explaining a method of changing the protruding direction of the blindfold piece by printing, (a) is a plan view of the label drawn from the roll-shaped label 10 shown in FIG. 3, and (b) A plan view of the label 1A printed with the downstream side in the transport direction as the head side of the print information is shown, and (c) shows a plan view of the label 1B printed with the upstream side in the transport direction as the head side of the print information.

  An arrow direction in FIG. 7A is a conveyance direction conveyed by a printer (not shown), and is conveyed from the upstream side in the conveyance direction opposite to the arrow toward the downstream side in the arrow direction. By making the head of the printing information printed by the printer either upstream or downstream in the transport direction, the protruding direction of the blindfold 4 with respect to the label body 3 is effectively changed. That is, in the case of the label 1A printed on the downstream side in the transport direction in FIG. 7A as the head side of the print information (discount visual information and barcode 2), as viewed from the label main body 3, as shown in FIG. It is located in the position which protrudes from the lower end part of the left side of the label main body 3. Further, in the case of the label 1B printed with the upstream side in the transport direction in FIG. 7A as the head side of the print information, as viewed from the label body 3, the upper end portion of the right side of the label body 3 as shown in FIG. It is located at a position that protrudes from. In this way, even if the position where the original selling price label 20 is attached to the product 7 or the print layout (the print position of the barcode 21 or the visual information) is changed, the protruding direction of the blindfold 4 is changed according to the print layout. Therefore, it is possible to hide only unnecessary information (barcode 21) without hiding necessary information (visual information) by the label 1. Moreover, the protrusion direction of the blindfold piece 4 can be changed without the operation | work which pastes the position with respect to the label main body 3 of the blindfold piece 4. FIG.

  Further, since the blindfold 4 is provided with a release agent 13 on its surface in the same manner as the mount 11, it can be easily peeled off from the adhesive 5 of the label body 3, and the protruding length with respect to the label body 3 can be arbitrarily set. You can change and paste it back. FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram when the projection length of the blindfold is changed to be long, and FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a state where a label having a blindfold with a projection length increased with respect to the label body is attached to the product. .

  FIG. 8A shows a label before changing the protruding length, and FIG. 8B shows a label after changing the protruding length. The blindfold 4 of the label 1 shown in FIG. 8 (a) is once peeled off from the label body 3, and temporarily moved to a position shifted and moved in the protruding direction protruding from the label body 3 as shown in FIG. 7 (b). By changing the wearing position, the blindfold 4 can be lengthened in the protruding direction by an amount corresponding to the moving distance.

  FIG. 9 shows a state in which the label in FIG. 8B is affixed to the affixed product. As shown in the figure, the barcode 21 of the original sale price label 20 affixed to the product 7 is the same as that of the original sale price label 20. Since it is printed at a substantially central position away from the end, for example, as shown by a dotted line, it is visually recognized when a label 1 in which the blindfold 4 protrudes from the left side of the label main body 3 in FIG. Information (“domestic” which is the information of origin) is hidden by the label body 3. However, the label 1 in which the blindfold 4 protrudes from the left side of the label body 3 is pasted on the barcode 21 of the original sale price label 20 at the position where the blindfold 4 overlaps as shown by the solid line in FIG. It is possible to hide only unnecessary information (barcode 21) without hiding necessary information (visual information) on the label 20.

  Further, if the blindfold piece 4 is arranged in the retracting direction opposite to the projecting direction (the direction in which the blindfold piece 4 overlaps the label main body 3), the length of the blindfold piece 4 in the projecting direction can be shortened. Further, in addition to the protruding length of the blindfold piece 4 with respect to the label main body 3, the above-described protruding direction is changed according to the pasting position and the printing layout (printing position of the barcode 21 and visual information) of the original selling price label 20. Therefore, it is possible to hide only unnecessary information (barcode 21) without hiding necessary information (viewing information) on the original selling price label 20 in any situation.

  Moreover, label production can also be made easy by forming the slit 12 in the roll-shaped label 10 in parallel with a conveyance direction (longitudinal direction). FIG. 10 is a schematic perspective view showing the roll label 30 in the second embodiment, and FIG. 11 is a plan view of the label after printing.

  The roll-shaped label 30 is configured by temporarily mounting a mount 11 having a release agent 13 such as silicone on the surface, and a plurality of label bodies 3 on the mount 11 with a certain interval in the longitudinal direction. The blindfold 4 is configured as a part of the mount 11 by being sandwiched between two slits 31 and 31 (cuts) parallel to the conveyance direction indicated by the arrow formed on the mount 11 and is provided so as to be separable. It can be cut into a single leaf by cutting with a printer cutter at the position of a two-dot chain line between adjacent label bodies 3. Since the slits 31 and 31 are continuously formed in parallel with the transport direction of the label, it is easy to manufacture the label.

As shown in FIG. 11, the label 33 having the blindfold 4 is formed by peeling from the mount 11 at both ends of the blindfold 4. The label 33 thus configured is affixed to the product such that the length and the protruding direction of the blindfold 4 described above are changed as necessary, and the barcode 21 of the original selling price label 20 is hidden by the blindfold 4.

As described above, a part of the barcode 21 of the original selling price label 20 affixed to the product 7 in the label in the present embodiment is overlapped so as to be covered with the blindfold 4 of the label 1 (the blindfold 4 is temporarily attached). The bar code 21 can be made unreadable by sticking the label 1 on the product 7 with the adhesive 5 that is exposed) (in the area that is not), and the cashier operator can remove the bar code 21 of the original selling price label 20 Since it is possible to generate a reading error when trying to read with the scanner, it is possible to reliably prevent the price before the price reduction (original selling price) from being input to the cash register. Further, since the barcode 2 including the price reduction information is printed on the label main body 3, the price reduction price can be input to the cash register simply by reading the barcode 2 of the label 1 attached to the original selling price label 20 in an overlapping manner. .
Further, since the width L2 of the protruding portion of the blindfold 4 is shorter than the length L1 of the side of the label body 3, the area of the blindfold 4 can be reduced as compared with the case where the label body 3 hides the original price. There is a low risk of hiding the visual information (product name, place of origin, processing date, expiry date, product content, price, seller, etc.) of the original selling price label 20 when pasted on the label 20. Further, by making the width L2 of the protruding portion of the blindfold piece 4 equal to or longer than the length L3 of the barcode 21 of the original selling price label 20 in the vertical direction, the barcode 21 cannot be read by the blindfold piece 4. Can be hidden.
Further, since the release agent 13 is provided on the surface of the blindfold piece 4, the blindfold piece 4 can be peeled off from the label body 3, and the label body 3 can be used for purposes other than price reduction.
Further, by utilizing a part of the mount 13 discarded in a general label as the blindfold 4, it is not necessary to separately provide a label for the blindfold 4, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.
Moreover, since the protrusion direction and protrusion length with respect to the label main body 3 of the blindfold 4 can be changed, the freedom degree of the printing layout (printing position of the barcode 21 and visual information) of the original selling price label 20 increases.

  The bar code 21 including the original sale price information of the original sale price label 20 is NON-PLU (NON-Price Look Up), and the price information is obtained by inquiring the store controller to which the product code and the unit price data of the product are input. A PLU (Price Look Up) recognized by a cash register may be used.

  Although the roll-shaped labels 10 and 30 have been described in order to enable printing with a printer, the present invention is not limited to this, and a folded fanfold label may be used. Further, the label body 3 may be formed with a slit for preventing unauthorized replacement. Further, the slits 12 and 31 formed in the mount 11 may be perforations or a combination of slits and perforations. Moreover, the temporary attachment direction of the label main body 3 with respect to the mount 11 can be changed to an arbitrary position. Further, the surface of the blindfold 4 on which the release agent 13 is not provided may be attached to the adhesive 5 so that the blindfold 4 is not peeled off from the label body 3.

  Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and it is obvious that the embodiments can be appropriately changed within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention. In addition, the number, position, shape, and the like of the constituent members are not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be set to a suitable number, position, shape, and the like in practicing the present invention. In each figure, the same numerals are given to the same component.
