METHOD OF HALF-CUT CUTOUT PROCESSING OF LABEL PAPER

摘要

A method of half-cut cutout processing of label paper 1 is disclosed that allows laser beam 11 to cut a label sheet 3 of the label paper 1 into a given cutout shape without damaging a supporting sheet 2. In the method, a cutting locus 30 along contours of the cutout shape is printed on a surface of the label sheet 3 in a single color which is darker than or equal in darkness to a color that is the darkest of colors in portions to be cut, and then the cutting locus 30 printed is irradiated with the laser beam, thereby cutting the label sheet 3 selectively into the cutout shape.
