Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for producing printed matter used for magazines such as mail-order catalogs, credit card member magazines, textbooks for distance learning and the like that are supposed to be mailed.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when mailing such magazines as described above, application forms, questionnaires, answer forms, etc. are often sent together, but in this case, for convenience of shipping. In the bookbinding process, the entry form is used inside the magazine.

[0003]

In the magazines containing the above-mentioned entry form, the address is printed on the cover when the entry form is sent, and data such as personal information is also printed on a predetermined column of the entry form. Preferably. That is, the applicants and respondents have less to fill in, and the application and response are less troublesome, and the collection side is very convenient for later mechanical processing of the completed form. However, there is a problem that it is difficult to print on the inside entry sheet after binding, and it is difficult to match and bind both when printing on each entry sheet and then binding.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a mail by which the destination of the cover and the personal data of the entry form bound inside are surely matched. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for producing a printed matter for mailing, by which a printed matter for printing can be easily produced and which can be bound by a general bookbinding machine.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a method for producing a printed matter according to the present invention provides personal data at a predetermined position of the entry sheet portion on a sheet having at least an entry sheet portion and a protruding portion. A plurality of types of data forms, each of which has a form in which a machine-readable individual code is printed on the protruding portion while outputting the data, are formed in such a manner that the individual codes are sequential for each type. Use the cover as the type and output the destination as personal data on the entry form, and fold each data form as needed to make a booklet, then add each type of data form individually to the protruding part. While reading the code and checking the jump number, one by one is fed out, and multiple types for each individual unit After creating an intermediate by combining the data form of No. 1 with any page with the printout in a state where the protruding portion gradually pops out, read the individual codes of the multiple protruding portions of the intermediate and match each individual unit. It is characterized by inspecting the sex, and finally cutting all sides and cutting it on three sides.

[0006]

In the method for producing a printed matter having the above-described structure, the individual code printed on the protruding portion of the data form is used as an index for ensuring the consistency of individual types of data forms bound by each intermediate. In addition, it also serves as an index for inspecting the consistency of each type of data form bound to each intermediate for each individual unit.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In this embodiment, the case of producing a printed matter by the saddle stitching method will be described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and can be similarly applied to the flat stitching method, for example.

First, an individual data form is created. Specifically, the roll-shaped continuous paper 1 as shown in FIG. 1A or the folded continuous paper 2 as shown in FIG. 1B is used, and the predetermined position (one side or both sides) of the continuous paper is used. However, the personal data A is continuously output and printed by the printer, and the sheet is cut into individual units with a certain length. Alternatively, the personal data A may be printed on a sheet of paper.
May be output to create an individual data form. In any case, the personal data is printed at a predetermined position in the area that will be the entry sheet portion of the data form. Next, as shown in FIG. 2A or 2B, the individual data form 3 is folded into a form capable of binding. In this case, anything related to the saddle stitching machine may be used, such as half-folding as shown in FIG. 2A and four-folding (cross folding) as shown in FIG. Fold it so that the entry sheet portion 3a is on page 1. The form of this folding process is appropriately determined depending on the size of the data form 3.

In the present invention, a plurality of types of data forms 3 (3a, 3b ... 3x) are prepared for each person. However, the paper quality, thickness, size and number of pages that can be bound by the saddle stitcher are limited. Then, the front cover is also positioned as the data form 3 (3x), and the destination B is output as personal data at a predetermined position of the entry form portion.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3, the printed sheets are piled up in the feeder section of the saddle stitcher, and the folded data forms 3a, 3b ... Are piled up on a predetermined page, and finally. After stacking the data form 3x as the cover, the back portion is joined with the wire 4 to form the intermediate body 5 as shown in FIG.

Here, in the above-mentioned sheet cutting step,
6x of each type of data form 3a, 3b ... 3x is cut into a size with the size of the protruding portions 6a, 6b ... 6x remaining, and the protruding portions 6a, 6b are folded at the stage of folding.
・ ・ ・ 6x is set to have a length that pops out in stages. Further, at the time of outputting the above-mentioned individual code, the protruding portions 6a, 6b ...
Machine-readable individual codes 7a, 7b ... 7x such as bar codes, OCR, two-dimensional codes are printed in a sequential state for each type of data form 3a, 3b. Then, in the feeder section, the individual codes 7a, 7b ... 7x of the protruding portions 6a, 6b ... 6x are read by a reader to check whether or not there is a jump number, thereby ensuring consistency for each individual unit. To do. At the stage of bookbinding in this manner, the protruding portions 6a, 6b, ... 6x of the data forms 3a, 3b, ... 3x are stepped out little by little as shown in FIG.
Intermediates 5 to which a, 7b ... 7x are provided are continuously obtained for each individual unit.

Next, the protruding portions 6a, 6 in the data forms 3a, 3b ... 3x bound to the intermediate body 5
The individual codes 7a, 7b ... 7x of b ... 6x are read by a reader and the consistency of these individual codes 7a, 7b ... 7x is inspected. The individual codes 7a, 7b ... May be the same as or different from the individual codes used for the jump number check.

Finally, as shown in FIG. 5, the protruding portions 6a, 6b ... 6x are cut along three sides of the intermediate body 5 to produce a saddle-stitched printed matter 8. That is, the individual codes 7a, 7b, ... 7 required for the consistency check for each individual unit of the bound data forms 3a, 3b, ... 3x.
Since x is no longer necessary, the protruding portions 6a, 6b ... 6
Cut off x.

In the printed matter 8 produced in this manner, the address B is printed at a predetermined position on the cover sheet, and the entry form made up of the entry forms of the data forms 3a, 3b ... , The personal data A are printed at the predetermined positions. Further, the destination B on the cover and the personal data A on the entry form do not conflict with each other. This printed matter 8 is sent in a window-opening envelope or a vinyl envelope, and the person who receives it can fill out only the blank space of the entry form and send it back to easily apply. Further, since the collected entry form is printed with predetermined items in a simple machine-readable font, it can be easily mechanically processed later.

Each data form 3a, 3b ...
Fill out the application form depending on the type of magazine,
A questionnaire sheet, a response sheet, etc. can be appropriately prepared, and a part of the entry sheet can be divided into application postcards and the like.

[0017]

As described above, according to the method for producing a printed matter according to the present invention, personal data is output to the entry sheet portion and machine-readable individual codes are sequentially provided for each type of data form. In this state, it is attached to the protruding part, and one data form is used as the cover and all the protruding parts are stepped out to bind multiple data forms, and this individual code is used as an index to ensure the consistency of each individual unit. Since it is used, it is possible to easily produce a printed matter for mailing in which the destination of the cover sheet and the personal data of the entry sheet bound inside are surely matched. In addition, after binding the data forms folded as necessary, it is sufficient to cut the three sides and cut off the makeup, so that it can be produced using a general bookbinding machine.
