TECHNICAL FIELDThe following disclosure relates to a nail sticker using a rear print and a method for manufacturing the same.
BACKGROUNDAs one of modes for expressing physical beauty pursued by the human being, the cosmetic business is developing faster and subdivided into various industries. In particular, from the 20th century, the cosmetic market is rapidly increasing, and the cosmetic business becomes more popular to the public.
Generally, in order to improve the shape of the nail, a user applies a nail polish to perform a nail art in a desired design. However, the nail art in which a nail polish is applied to the nail is difficult and cumbersome and takes much time to dry the applied solution. Further, if a user directly perform the nail art to his own nail, the shape of the applied nail art is not uniform depending on whether the user is a right-hander or a left-hander.
To solve this problem, a nail shop or the like which performs the nail art professionally has appeared to decorate the nail. However, the French nail art performed by a specialist should be paid each time, which increases the expense. Therefore, a nail sticker market which allows unskilled persons to easily perform the nail art is gradually increasing.
Meanwhile, in a general nail sticker, as disclosed in the patent literature below, a three-dimensional decoration is formed on a substrate layer to give the same effect as jewels attached thereto.
In addition to the above three-dimensional decoration, as shown in

Features and advantages of the present disclosure will be apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
Prior to the description, it should be understood that the terms used in the specification and the appended claims should not be construed as limited to general and dictionary meanings, but interpreted based on the meanings and concepts corresponding to technical aspects of the present disclosure on the basis of the principle that the inventor is allowed to define terms appropriately for the best explanation.
According to the present disclosure, since a print layer having light-reflective particles is printed to the rear surface of a substrate, it is possible to prevent an unevenness from being generated at the substrate which is disposed at the outermost side in a final stage. Therefore, the deep and shiny feeling and twinkling effect of the light-reflective particles may be enhanced.
In addition, according to the present disclosure, by using a substrate made of polyurethane with an excellent printing property, the print layer having light-reflective particles may be directly printed to the substrate.
Moreover, according to the present disclosure, since one surface of the substrate is treated by means of acryl-based primer, urethane-based primer, plasma treatment, or corona treatment, the printing property of the substrate may be enhanced, which allows the print layer having light-reflective particles to be more effectively printed.
The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present disclosure will become apparent from the following description of certain exemplary embodiments given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
Objects, specific advantages and new features of the present disclosure will be more apparent from the following detailed description and embodiments taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the specification, when reference numerals are endowed to components in each drawing, it should be noted that like reference numerals denote like elements even though they are depicted in several drawings. In addition, the terms “first”, “second”, and the like are used for distinguishing one component from another, and components are not limited to the terms. Hereinafter, in a case where detailed description of known functions or configurations in relation to the present disclosure is judged as unnecessarily making the essence of the present disclosure vague, the detailed description will be excluded.
Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in
The substrate 110 gives an area to print the print layer 120 during a manufacturing process, and if being actually adhered to the nail, the substrate 110 is disposed at the outermost side to protect the print layer 120. Here, the substrate 110 is made of polyurethane. The polyurethane has more excellent printing property in comparison to other materials such as PVC. Therefore, the print layer 120 may be effectively printed to the substrate 110 made of polyurethane. Additionally, by performing a surface treatment 115 such as acryl-based primer, urethane-based primer, plasma treatment, and corona treatment print to one surface of the substrate 110 to which the layer 120 is printed, the printing property of the substrate 110 is enhanced, which allows the print layer 120 having the light-reflective particles 125 to be more effectively printed. In detail, the acryl-based primer and the urethane-based primer may enhance the adhering force between the substrate 110 and the print layer 120 and reinforce the persistency of the adhesion. In addition, the plasma treatment or the corona treatment may enhance a surface tension of the substrate 110. Therefore, the surface tension of the substrate 110 serving as a target to be adhered increases in comparison to the surface tension of the print layer 120 serving as an adhesion target and thus improves wettability, which allows the print layer 120 to be effectively adhered and printed to the substrate 110.
The print layer 120 plays a role of substantially giving an aesthetic feeling at the nail sticker 100. Here, the print layer 120 may be directly printed to the substrate 110. At this time, the print layer 120 may be printed to the substrate 110 by using a roll coater, a bar coater, or a screen printing. In addition, the print layer 120 includes light-reflective particles 125 which reflect light. At this time, the print layer 120 may be formed by mixing the light-reflective particles 125 with any one of acryl-based resins, urethane-based resins, and combinations thereof, and the light-reflective particles 125 may be mixed with any one of the acryl-based resins, the urethane-based resins, and combinations thereof by means of screen printing, scattering, or spraying. Here, the light-reflective particles 125 include glitter, bling, spangle, confetti, or pearl and have a predetermined volume. Since the light-reflective particles 125 have a predetermined volume as described above, if the print layer 120 having the light-reflective particles is printed to the front surface of the substrate 110, instead of rear printing, the twinkling effect of the light-reflective particles 125 may deteriorate. In detail, if the print layer 120 is printed to the front surface of the substrate 110 and a top coating is formed at the outermost side to protect the print layer 120, an unevenness is formed at the top coating due to the volume and irregular sizes of the light-reflective particles 125. Therefore, diffusion reflection occurs, which seriously deteriorates the twinkling effect of the light-reflective particles 125. However, in the nail sticker 100 using a rear print according to this embodiment, the print layer 120 having the light-reflective particles 125 is printed to the rear surface of the substrate 110, and the substrate 110 is disposed at the outermost side in a final stage. As a result, since the flat substrate 110 is disposed at the outermost side, regular reflection occurs (see the arrow of
The adhesive layer 130 plays a role of adhering the nail sticker 100 to the nail and is formed on the print layer 120. Here, the adhesive layer 130 may be made of pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA), without being limited thereto. The PSA is a decompressing adhesive material which applies an adhesive force when a pressure is applied thereto for the adhesion to the nail.
The release layer 140 plays a role of protecting the adhesive layer 130 until the nail sticker 100 is adhered to the nail, and is formed on the adhesive layer 130. Here, the material of the release layer 140 is not specially limited if it may be easily separated from the adhesive layer 130 for the convenience of the user, but the release layer 140 may be made of, for example, any one of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polypropylene (PP), and combinations thereof, which is matt-treated at a surface thereof opposite to the surface contacting the adhesive layer 130. As described above, by matt-treating the release layer 140, it is possible to give a slipping property. Therefore, during the manufacturing process, the release layer 140 may effectively pass through an automatic printing machine or the like, and it is possible to prevent release layers 140 of adjacent products from being adhered to each other.
