40 are stacked in the desired order. By repeating the above steps as necessary, 4
A bundle of zero types of pop advertising paper pieces r1 to r40 can be formed by the required number of shops.

As described above, in the present embodiment, unlike the prior art, a large number of cut pop advertisement sheets are cut into one.
There is no stacking process one by one. Therefore, even when both the number of types of pop advertising paper sheets and the number of stores are large, a bundle of many types of pop advertising paper sheets stacked in a predetermined order can be quickly and accurately formed by the required number of stores.

In the above-described embodiment, a case has been described in which four pop advertisements are formed on one sheet and printing is repeated on ten sheets. In general, the pop advertisement can be N-chamfered on one sheet, and the printing can be repeated on M sheets. In this case, the stacked m (1 ≦
Pop advertisement information to be finally stacked in the (n−1) × M + m-th unit area may be printed on the n-th (1 ≦ n ≦ N) -th unit area on the (m ≦ M) -th sheet.

In the above-described embodiment, printing (printing and printing) is performed using a digital printer. However, printing can be performed using, for example, a plate printing machine or a plateless printing machine. However, when using a plate printing machine or a plateless printing machine in the above-described embodiment, the same printing operation is repeated for each sheet by the required number of stores, and the obtained large number of printed sheets are appropriately collated. It is necessary to collate a block composed of ten sheets s1 to s10 by the apparatus.

Further, in the above embodiment, four pop advertisements of the same size are formed on one sheet. However, the present invention is not limited to four, and two, eight, sixteen, and thirty-two. Various multiple chamfers can be made. In this case, if necessary, a plurality of chamfers can be performed so that a blank portion (unused portion) occurs. Further, in the above-described embodiment, a method of forming a pop advertisement of one type is shown. However, for example, as shown in FIG.
Various other modifications are possible, such as two bevels 1 and 52 and four bevels of pop advertisements 53 to 56 of the second type.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example is shown in which different types of pop advertisements are stacked one by one.
Various other modifications are possible without departing from the scope of the present invention, such as stacking two different types of pop advertisements, or stacking a random number of different types of pop advertisements.
Further, in the above-described embodiment, the present invention has been described by taking a pop advertisement as an example, but it is apparent that the present invention can be applied to the formation of other appropriate bundles of printing paper.

[0029]

As described above, in the method of forming a printing paper bundle according to the present invention, unlike the prior art, there is no step of stacking many types of cut printing paper one by one. Therefore, for example, even when both the number of types of pop advertising paper sheets and the number of stores are large, a bundle of many types of pop advertising paper sheets stacked in a predetermined order can be quickly and accurately formed by the required number of stores.
