Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the package optimum for packaging of merchandise of diversified kinds and small quantities by disposing a photographic print indicating arbitrary designs and characters on a front surface and/or rear surface. CONSTITUTION:This package has a package body 10, a cap 11 and the photographic print 20. The package body 10 and the cap 11 are produced by ordinary package production techniques, a recess or projecting part 12 is previously formed so as to be convenient for disposition of the photographic print 20. The photographic print 20 is stuck to the front surface side of the body 10 or is disposed to the inner side. A transparent material is used as the package material in case of the latter. The package optimum for packaging of the merchandise of diversified kinds and small quantities is obtd.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a package that is optimal as a package for a wide variety of products in small quantities, and more specifically, the package surface is represented by a photographic print. Regarding the package.

The present invention also relates to a package for photographic film in which the outer box is formed to custom specifications.

[Conventional technology] When looking at packaging for products, there are many different materials and shapes. Either print it on the paper or paste the printed paper on it.

In the conventional method described above, in order to print designs, characters, etc. on the surface, it is necessary to prepare a block copy or a plate for the J51J stamp, and furthermore, for color printing, it is necessary to adjust the printing ink.

Photographic film is also sold in the following formats:

In the case of 35 mm roll film, the film is stored in a cartridge and then placed in a cylindrical protective container (usually a sealed plastic container) and then packaged in a paper outer box for sale.

Furthermore, in the case of so-called one-ten roll film, the film stored in a cartridge is wrapped in a sealed bag made of aluminum foil laminated film and then packaged in an outer box made of paper for sale.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In order to sell photographic film to general consumers, as mentioned above, it is necessary to use an outer box with a pattern or letters printed on it, or to hold various events. In the case of photographic film distributed exclusively to specific customers, it may be packaged in an outer box with a specially printed design or text.

In the above case, since the outer box must be printed separately, if the number of orders does not reach a certain number, the cost will increase and it may become difficult to receive orders.

In addition, there are many general products that are produced in a wide variety of products in small quantities, and the outer boxes for packaging these products must be individually printed, which increases manufacturing costs.

Therefore, the present inventors came up with the idea of printing designs, characters, etc. on the surface of packages for photographic films and the like using a photographic method. The expression of designs and characters by photography has excellent dimensional stability, resolution, image reproducibility, etc., and the resistance to fading is the same as that of ordinary printing. It has advantages such as freedom and ease of expression.

In view of the above, the main purpose of the present invention is to clarify the optimal package for packaging a wide variety of products in small quantities, and other objects and benefits of the present invention will become clear from the following description. Will.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The package of the present invention that achieves the above object is characterized in that a photographic print representing an arbitrary design or character is placed on the front and/or back surface of the package.

[Example] Hereinafter, the package of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of an example of the package of the present invention, and in the figure, reference numeral 10 is a package body, 11 is a lid, and 20 is a photographic print.

The package body 10 and the lid 11 are manufactured by ordinary package manufacturing techniques, but in order to conveniently place the photographic print 20, a concave or convex portion 12 is formed as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. The preferable embodiment shown in FIG. 2 is a mode in which the photographic print 20 is attached to the front side, and the mode shown in FIG. 3 is a mode in which the photographic print 20 is placed on the inside. In the latter embodiment, a transparent material is used as the packaging material.

Adhesive or pressure-sensitive adhesive is used to place the photographic print 20 on the surface of the package body 10, but if the photographic print 20 is placed inside the package body 10 as shown in FIG. No need to glue.

The photographic paper used to create the photographic print 20 is generally paper-based, but it may also be synthetic paper, laminated paper, or synthetic resin film.

On the photographic print 20, arbitrary designs, characters, etc. are printed as expressions on the surface of the package.

These designs and characters include information such as the manufacturer's name, product name, handling precautions, and barcodes for product management, but these can be printed using methods other than photography, such as printing. This may also be done by pasting a sticker, etc.

In embodiments where the photographic print 20 is the outer surface.

Applying a coating agent to the top surface to form a protective film or pasting a protective sheet to cover the surface of the photographic print 20 can eliminate the sticky feel of the surface and prevent dirt from forming. Preferable for preventing adhesion.

The package does not necessarily have to be a cylindrical box and can have any shape, but one with complicated unevenness on one surface is not suitable. However, it is possible to implement the method as long as the surface unevenness is shallow and the photographic print 20 can be attached. If the surface has complex irregularities, an embodiment in which the photographic print 20 is placed inside as shown in FIG. 3 is applied.

If the package is box-shaped, as shown in Figure 4,
A photographic print 20 is pasted on the surface of the outer box 12. On the bottom surface 14 and top surface 15 of the outer box 12, instead of pasting photo prints, it is also possible to print or paste stickers with text indicating the contents, cautionary notes, etc.; You may also attach it.

It is also preferable that the photographic print 20 is cut out into the expanded shape of the outer box 12 and pasted. For example, if this embodiment is applied to a photographic film package, the manufacturing process will be very simple since all that is required is to attach the photographic print 20, which will serve as the original package surface, to the surface of the package for general commercial use. be.

As mentioned above, photo print 2 on the surface of the conventional package.
In order to create an original package by pasting 0 on it, we use photographic paper with a thin base thickness to prevent the surface texture from becoming unsightly.
Preferably, it forms 0.

[Effects of the invention] Photographic paper, even if it is an ordinary commercially available paper-based paper, is less permeable to moisture and is stronger than plain paper of the same thickness, so it is easy to paste photographic prints 20 on it. Since it is reinforced by attaching it, there is an advantage that the package body can be made of a material with relatively low strength.

Package expressions such as designs and letters using photographic methods have advantages such as excellent dimensional stability, resolution, and image reproducibility, and the fading resistance is equivalent to that of ordinary printing.

Furthermore, compared to printing methods that use printing ink, the use of photographic prints has the advantage of freer and easier color expression, as well as the advantage of significantly shortening the period from order receipt to delivery. .

In view of the above-mentioned points, the present invention is most suitable as a package for packaging a wide variety of products in small quantities, and the above-mentioned objects can be achieved.
