Method for producing a printed thermoplastic resin tape for packaging

Method for producing a thermoplastic synthetic resin tape for packaging wherein the tape is printed thereon, comprising the steps of forming a tape-like synthetic resin base, pressing said resin base into an extended continuous tape, annealing the tape, printing predetermined letters or marks on one side of said tape directly by a pair of printing rollers one of which has printing legends on the rolling surface thereof and embossing the printed tape by a pair of embossment rollers each of which has non-embossed portions at substantially regular intervals on the central portion of the rolling surface, the total area occupied by the non-embossed portion falling within the range of 10-50% of the entire effective rolling surface of said rollers, thereby forming a printed tape which has non-uniform thickness consisting of concave-convex portions except for areas of uniform thickness disposed in spaced relations along the entire length of said printed tape at substantially regular intervals on the central part of said printed tape.
