Definitions
- the invention relates to an improved labeling system for printing labels with the information relating to the goods to be labeled, in particular in the horticultural sector.
- labels have the task of to provide information about the manufacturer of the goods, constant and location-related product descriptions and properties, the price, contraindications and the like - thus about standardized and varying information. It is important for the consumer that, in addition to the planting instructions, pictures of mature and flowering plants are also shown on the label and the customer information is thus optimized.
- Labels in stock with pre-printed pictures and names e.g. (cf. page 4, paragraph 2 of the DGBM) in order to be able to imprint the desired information on these labels, to be varied by the user, in order to be able to produce ready-to-use labels from the prepared labels.
- a supply of 2'000 - 2'500 different plants e.g. for a PfJ.ance dealer, this meant an enormous amount of administration and storage. Further problems have arisen from software implementations that have not yet been optimally solved.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of providing an improved labeling system with which it is possible to print labels of various types directly on the user, of which data from a first area (for example the name and / or the trademark of the manufacturer) manufacturer of the labeling system or the goods, a different representation and / or the constant description of the goods) or only for example changeable by the manufacturer and from which other data of a second area (e.g. price, location or user-related information) by the user of the system, e.g. should be able to be influenced by a plant dealer, whereby, in contrast to what is known, the required stock keeping is reduced to zero and the security during printing is increased.
- a first area for example the name and / or the trademark of the manufacturer
- a second area e.g. price, location or user-related information
- the system manufacturer thus provides the user with a complete system in which the user only has to insert a label raw material (paper sheets or the like) and has to enter the desired information for the desired labels via the input unit, whereupon he receives fully printed labels with the information from the first and from the second area.
- a label raw material paper sheets or the like
- the data of the first area are stored in a database, which is basically only accessible to the manufacturer of the labeling system for changes.
- a database in the second area contains data that are particularly accessible to the user and can be changed by the user.
- the software connects according to the invention, this information automatically with the only scientifically correct generic name of the plant in the field of the generic names in the first area and at the same time also with the only correct image in the image data field of the first area.
- the software according to the invention is capable of permanently linking further botanical data from the field of botanical data of the first or, if appropriate, also the second area to the first-mentioned data.
- the software can force the user to select one of the possible botanical data (possibly different from region to region) via the input unit, whereupon this - preferably also in later selection processes - with the first mentioned data is always connected by the software.
- the software can also be designed in such a way that a certain selection from a set of predefined information or a section from a predefined information can be made.
- a certain selection from a set of predefined information or a section from a predefined information can be made.
- an image section of a stored image could be printable, as a result of which the customer can adjust to his audience more individually.
- the same process of data linking is particularly the same for a "company logo" field. provided in the second area.
- the software can offer this complex formation of different data a selection of possible prices, which the user can preferably define in advance, from which the user makes a selection via the input unit or makes his own price determination.
- the software-controlled links just specified are preferably used in combination according to the invention, but according to the invention partial combinations are already protected, provided that at least two different data from the fixed and / or variable data storage areas are linked by the software become.
- FIG. 1 shows a variant of a label sheet with a printed label as it is produced entirely by the user.
- FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of a labeling system according to the invention
- FIG. 3 shows a schematic organization chart of the labeling system according to the invention and Fig. 4 shows a variant of a label sheet with an improved label.
- loop labels are usually used, which are located on part of the plant, e.g. a trunk or a branch.
- FIG. 1 shows such a label as part of a sheet 1 comprising several labels separated by perforations.
- a special embodiment of the sheet according to the invention comprises a polyester film which has been treated by a special process. It is characterized by the following properties:
- Thickness 100 m ⁇
- the weather resistance shows no change after a 500-hour UV radiation test in the QUV test device.
- this special embodiment of the sheet according to the invention is that it can be easily printed using printers (e.g. color laser printers) and is nevertheless weather-resistant, so that the labels can also be used outdoors.
- the film is characterized by sufficient tear resistance.
- such a film is used for the first time for color-printed loop labels.
- such a film can advantageously also be used independently of the other features of the invention.
- a basic field 3 contains a constant representation and / or constant description of the plant with a colored image that is delivered from area 1 to the printer.
- the Latin cultivar designation is a consistent name for plants.
- a price field 4 a code field 5, a designation field 6, a botanist field 7, a reference number field 8, a point of sale field 9 and a system pressure field 10.
- a code field 5 a designation field 6
- a botanist field 7 a reference number field 8
- a point of sale field 9 a point of sale field 9
- a system pressure field 10 a system pressure field 10.
- the retailer has the option of entering the price of the goods in to determine a certain framework independently.
- the labeling of the price field must therefore be able to be influenced by the dealer, ie by the user of the labeling system.
- these fields can be related to one another by the software, so that misuse or errors due to incorrect entries can be excluded.
- Plant names can vary from landscape to landscape or country to country: the height of a plant and its location can vary from area to area.
- the user is preferably offered a selection of predefined data in these fields, so that he does not have to carry out arbitrary data manipulations, but in his experience, for example by means of a mouse click or the like. can make a selection.
- the sales point field 9 can be influenced by the user.
- the field 10 in turn contains information that can only be influenced by the manufacturer or system supplier and is geared to their needs.
- FIG. 4 shows a label variant with a simplified geometric shape and - particularly preferably - with additional plant-specific growth symbols.
- the fields A - G have the following meaning:
- A Field for customer name, logo and address of the plant sales point
- C Plant-specific growth symbols which, according to the invention, can be selected from a diverse symbol database, so that regional differences can be taken into account. Under certain circumstances, the user may be able to influence the fixed master data by means of appropriately adapted software.
- D Botanical name
- E Common name
- F Plant description, growth information
- G Plant image
- a perforation is new and preferably provided in the area between the fields G and H, which enables the user, for example at the cash desk, to separate the fields H and I in order to be able to create the invoice by means of a barcode reader or to hand in the price To be able to type in the cash desk.
- This new label has the advantage for the customer of the user that he can leave the label on the plant without any problems and does not have to present it laboriously to the sales personnel in order to enable the price to be read.
- Figure 3 shows a diagram of the relationships between data, software and hardware.
- FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of a labeling system according to the invention, which can be displayed in a computer.
- the database of the labeling system according to the invention comprises a ROM area 12, the data of which can basically only be influenced by the system manufacturer.
- the data in the RAM area 15 can also be influenced by the user.
- Both database areas 12, 15 work on a data output consisting of a printer 26. According to the invention, all database areas are directly at the
- the ROM area 12 assigned to the computer comprises a data block 16 with data for 2,500 up to 40 * 000 images; a data block 17 with the corresponding 2,500 - 40,000 Latin botanical names, which are strictly linked to the associated image data by the software, and a data block 18 with (optionally selectable) (variable) layouts for the label 2. Further fields are indicated by the dash-dotted lines. In contrast to the known, one could get a printout from this system area alone. Usually, however, printouts are output in combination with the data of the second area.
- the ROM area 12 also includes a data block 19 with a selection of common names for the corresponding plants, these can also be different names, which are, however, strictly linked to the Latin botanical name by means of software and a block 20 with the associated names botanical data - which can optionally also be made from a variable selection - as well as a data memory 21 which is responsible for storing the selection once made by the user and thus for using the software to achieve ease of use for this user by the User the next time they enter in the fields with
- the fixed data area is also available via an online connection e.g. realizable to the manufacturer database, so that the quantity and timeliness of the available data is optimal.
- the RAM area 15 which can be influenced by the user comprises a price data block and / or a symbol or color data block 22 (depending on the user, it may be desirable to provide only a specific color impression instead of a price indication or to assign this color impression to the price impression) deposit), an EAN code block 23 and a block 24 with data about the company logo. If necessary, the user can also make a selection here. be hit. This applies in particular to retail chains with different individual locations.
- the blocks 15 on the one hand and 19, 20, 21 on the other hand work together via software with the blocks of the ROM area 25 on a printer driver which controls the printer 26. According to the invention, the result of a single printing process is a finished printed label 2 or a finished printed label sheet 1, which can only be separated into the individual labels, provided the sheet 1 is pre-punched, in accordance with the surrounding lines of the labels.
- the software allows, in a separate program step, the - possibly password-protected - modification of botanical master data (unless a selection of this data is provided anyway) in order to enable the user to adapt this data in relation to local conditions.
- the manufacturer provides the user with the database and the labels 2 supplied by the system manufacturer.
- the labels 2 of the system manufacturer are completely empty according to the invention.
- the storage is thus exhausted on empty, preferably perforated and pre-punched label sheets, which the user can also print at the last minute according to his wishes.
- the bearing holder is thus optimally reduced according to the invention.
- the system according to the invention offers improved security, which prevents labels from being printed with incorrect or incompatible information. This ensures, among other things, strict compliance with the relevant price labeling regulations. If the manufacturer so desires and accepts, the needs of the manufacturer and the user can be chosen practically as desired in the context of the invention. For example, it is easily possible to open or close certain database areas for the user to influence.
- the label material according to the invention offers the following advantages: It is inexpensive, tear-resistant, absolutely weather-resistant and can be printed in a wipe and scratch-resistant manner, in particular, by color laser printers. According to a development that can also be used independently, at least part of the loop label can be separated after mounting it on the goods along a pre-punched perforation (27), so that, according to the invention, the label can remain on the goods and, for example, the EAN code o . Like. can be read by the corresponding portion separated by hand and the scanner 'is supplied.
