Abstract

A label structure includes: a base material including a print area on which information arranged in a predetermined direction is printed on a front surface of the base material; an adhesive portion in which an adhesive is laminated on a back surface of the base material; and a separator configured to cover the adhesive portion. At least the print area of the base material is formed with a base material partition portion partitioned by a base material tear-off line, the base material partition portion includes a plurality of intersections extending in a direction intersecting with the predetermined direction, and the separator is formed with a separator partition portion partitioned by a separator tear-off line in an area corresponding to at least a part of an area corresponding to the base material partition portion.

Claims (33)

1 . A label structure comprising:

a base material including a print area on which information arranged in a predetermined direction is printed on one surface of the base material;

an adhesive portion in which an adhesive is laminated on the other surface of the base material; and

a separator configured to cover the adhesive portion, wherein

at least the print area of the base material is formed with a base material partition portion partitioned by a base material tear-off line,

the base material partition portion includes a plurality of intersections extending in a direction intersecting with the predetermined direction, and

the separator is formed with a separator partition portion partitioned by a separator tear-off line in an area corresponding to at least a part of an area corresponding to the base material partition portion.

2 . The label structure according to claim 1 , wherein

the separator partition portion is formed so as to be positioned in an area inside an outline of the base material partition portion.

3 . The label structure according to claim 1 , wherein

the base material partition portion further includes a main trunk portion extending along an edge portion of a label that includes the base material and the adhesive portion, and

the intersections are connected to the main trunk portion at one end.

4 . The label structure according to claim 3 , wherein

the label has a substantially rectangular shape, and

the main trunk portion includes a vertical main trunk portion formed along a vertical side portion of the label and a horizontal main trunk portion formed along a horizontal side portion of the label.

5 . The label structure according to claim 1 , wherein

the base material tear-off line is a perforation line that partially penetrates the base material, and

the separator tear-off line is a slit that penetrates the separator in a thickness direction, and is continuously formed over an outer periphery of the separator partition portion.

6 . The label structure according to claim 5 , wherein

the base material tear-off line that partitions the base material partition portion includes a cut portion that penetrates the base material and an uncut portion that does not penetrate the base material, and the uncut portion includes a dotted portion for connecting the base material partition portion to the base material and a base material continuous portion having an uncut length longer than the dotted portion.

7 . The label structure according to claim 6 , wherein

the base material continuous portion is formed at least at an end of the intersection opposite to the end connected to the main trunk portion.

8 . The label structure according to claim 4 , further comprising:

a tear-off piece portion continuous with the main trunk portion along the vertical side portion of the label and extending to an end of the label, wherein

the separator partition portion is formed to extend over an area corresponding to at least a part of an area corresponding to the tear-off piece portion.

9 . A label comprising:

a base material including a print area on which information arranged in a predetermined direction is printed on one surface of the base material;

an adhesive portion in which an adhesive is laminated on the other surface of the base material; and

a separator configured to cover the adhesive portion, wherein

at least the print area of the base material is formed with a base material partition portion partitioned by a base material tear-off line,

the base material partition portion includes a plurality of intersections extending in a direction intersecting with the predetermined direction, and

the adhesive portion is formed with a non-adhesive portion in an area corresponding to at least a part of an area corresponding to the base material partition portion, wherein

the non-adhesive portion is a portion of the separator that remains.
