Patent ID: 7883010

Claim:
A successive sheet material having a plurality of IC-tag tape ( 30 ) along its entire length, the successive sheet material formed by the steps of: preparing a tape reel ( 1 ) of an IC-tag tape to which IC tags ( 20 ) are attached with such an IC-tag-pitch that each cut sheet includes at least one IC tag; unwinding said IC-tag tape from said tape reel that is held by a reel stand and driving apparatus; providing said IC-tag tape in a machine direction to attach said IC-tag tape into said successive sheet material continuously unwinding IC-tag tape substrate at a substantially equivalent speed to the running speed of said successive sheet material and attaching said IC-tag tape to said successive sheet material in an unpredetermined machine direction position with regard to a cutting edge of said successive sheet material in attaching the IC-tag tape located in any machine direction to said successive sheet material; and calculating by a production control device whether IC-tags are positioned in an area of the cut sheet to be trimmed in the next die-cutting process, using a set of trim data of the box blank to be formed into boxes, and using a set of encoder signals at the stream of a cutter indicating a length of said successive sheet material and detecting means signals indicating location of the IC-tags on the IC-tag tape attached to said successive sheet material; wherein said successive sheet material is formed in a plurality of layers, wherein an interface between said IC-tag tape substrate and layer material forms less than 5 mm dry streak, wherein said dry streak has a width of said tape IC-tag substrate that does not reduce the compressive strength of the cut sheets and boxes.
