(Sixth embodiment: When attaching an IC tag)
The sixth embodiment will be described focusing on the differences from the first embodiment. In the PTP sheet 1f of the sixth embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8A, the IC tag 81 similar to that of the fifth embodiment is attached to the outer side of the packaging film 3 (attachment of the cover film 4). It is stuck at a flat position on the opposite side to the surface side. Further, a protective seal 9 f is attached to the outside of the IC tag 81 so as to cover the IC tag 81. The protective seal 9f is for suppressing removal of the IC tag 81 from the PTP sheet 1f.

  Next, based on FIG.8 (b), the PTP packaging machine 10f for manufacturing the said PTP sheet 1f is demonstrated. In the PTP packaging machine 10f of the sixth embodiment, instead of the tag printing unit 22, an IC tag attaching unit 91 as a tag applying device is provided. The IC tag sticking means 91 is for sticking the IC tag 81 to the packaging film 3 side of the PTP film 6, and for example, an adhesive is used for sticking.

  The seal sticking means 23 f on the downstream side of the IC tag sticking means 91 is to stick the protective seal 9 f continuously to the packaging film 3 side of the PTP film 6 so as to cover the IC tag 81.

  As described above in detail, the PTP packaging machines 10, 10b, 10c, 10d, 10e, and 10f can reliably attach the printable tag 8 or the IC tag 81 to each sheet, and the printable tag 8 or the IC tag. 81 PTP sheets 1, 1 b, 1 c, 1 d, 1 e, and 1 f provided with 81 can be manufactured.

  Further, information can be individually recorded on the printable tag 8 and the IC tag 81 by the information recording means 25. In a case where information is collectively recorded after the PTP sheets 1, 1b, 1c, 1d, 1e, and 1f are stored in the finished product hopper 30, the PTP sheets 1, 1b, 1c, 1d, 1e, and 1f are recorded on the plurality of PTP sheets 1, 1b, 1c, 1d, 1e, and 1f. Since the same information is recorded, there is not much significance in recording individual information, for example, inspection information. In this regard, in the above embodiment, since the inspection information can be recorded for each PTP sheet 1, 1b, 1c, 1d, 1e, 1f, the PTP sheets 1, 1b, 1c, 1d, 1e, Even if it is 1f, when there is no problem as the PTP sheets 1, 1b, 1c, 1d, 1e, and 1f, or when normal tablets 5 are included, it is not always necessary to discard them. For example, with a separate tag reader, the inspection information is individually read from the printable tag 8 and the IC tag 81 for the PTP sheets 1, 1b, 1c, 1d, 1e, and 1f, and the cause of the defect is reconfirmed by visual inspection or the like. Without it, it can be treated as a good product. In this case, since the inspection information is stored in the variation information circuit, it is possible to rewrite information as a defect to information as a non-defective product by a separate information recording means. In addition, even when it is visually reconfirmed that the PTP sheets 1, 1b, 1c, 1d, 1e, and 1f are defective, the presence or absence of abnormality is also reconfirmed individually for the tablets 5a, and there is no abnormality in the tablets 5 Can be taken out of the PTP sheets 1, 1 b, 1 c, 1 d, 1 e, 1 f and refilled as normal tablets 5.

  Further, the tag printing means 22, 22b, the IC, the tag insertion means 83, and the IC tag attaching means 91 are provided upstream of the sheet punching device 26, and are in the form of a belt and transported at a predetermined position.

For this reason, the printable tag is also used in the process and distribution process after the finished product hopper 30 is accommodated, such as during conveyance in the PTP packaging machines 10b and 10d, when punching with the sheet punching device 26, and when forming slits with the slit forming device 24. 8 can be suppressed.

  Furthermore, in the third embodiment, since the printable tag 8 is printed after the base film 61 is pasted, it is possible to prevent a short circuit of the printable tab 8 with respect to the cover film 4. Moreover, printing can be reliably performed without being affected by the unevenness formed on the cover film 4.

  In addition, in the fourth embodiment, the printable tag 8 is printed on the inner side of the cover film 4 (the sticking surface side of the packaging film 3). Short circuit of the circuit of the printable tag 8 is suppressed. Therefore, a separate base film or the like for ensuring insulation is not required.

  In addition, in the fifth embodiment, the recess 82 is shallow and the bottom thickness of the recess 82 is relatively thick. For this reason, even if the concave portion 82 side is pushed, the IC tag 81 is hardly taken out from the cover film 4 side. As a result, accidental ingestion of the IC tag 81 can be suppressed.

  Moreover, the protective seal 9e is affixed on the cover film 4 side corresponding to the opening forming position of the recess 82. For this reason, the IC tag 81 is more difficult to be taken out, and as a result, accidental ingestion of the IC tag 81 can be further suppressed.
