Abstract:
An adhesive label with a water-based release coating and methods for applying the water-based release coating to the adhesive label are provided. The water-based release coating is a non-silicon based formulation having a fluorochemical. The water-based release coating can be applied in a single-pass process or a double-pass process when manufacturing the adhesive label.
Abstract:
A combined receipt and label roll (110) comprises a core (114), and a web (112) having a longitudinally-extending axis (124) and wound on the core (114) along the axis (124). The web (112) includes (i) a substrate (116) having a front side and a back side (120) opposite the front side, (ii) a thermally-sensitive coating disposed on the front side of the substrate (116), and (iii) a water-based microsphere adhesive disposed on the back side (120) of the substrate (116) along the web axis (124). The water-based microsphere adhesive comprises at least four separate adhesive patches (153A, 154A). The at least four adhesive patches (153A, 154A) are both sized relative to each other and positioned relative to each other on the back side (120) of the substrate (116) such that additional tack desired can be obtained by increasing volume of the adhesive patches (153A, 154A) without having to increase coat weight of the adhesive patches (153A, 154A).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a security document (30"), to a method for producing a security document (30"), and to a method for producing an individualized security document (30"). The security document (30") has a carrier substrate (1) with a carrier layer (10) and a thermosensitive coating (11) which can trigger a color change under the effect of heat, in particular by means of a thermal printing head (911). The security document (30") further has a film element (2), which is transparent at least in some sections and which has at least one decorative layer (24, 25) with at least one optical security feature (51, 52), and an adhesive layer (3). The adhesive layer (3) is arranged between the film element (2) and the carrier substrate (1). The thermosensitive coating (11) is arranged between the adhesive layer (3) and the carrier layer (10). The film element (2) covers the thermosensitive coating (11) at least in some sections when viewed perpendicularly to the plane which is defined by the upper face of the carrier substrate.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a self-adhesive label having a flap for covering a message within the label, and to a method for forming the same. A labelling form (1) for labelling an object comprises a sheet having a substrate layer, at least one line of weakness (42) in the substrate layer, said line(s) separating at least one labelling portion (2) of the labelling form from the rest of the labelling form, wherein the labelling portion (2) includes: on a first side of the substrate layer a first printing surface (35) for writing on and/or printing on; and on a second side of the substrate opposite said first side an adhesive surface (28) and a non-adhesive surface (37), said surfaces defining respectively an adhesive part (39) and a non-adhesive part (38) of the labelling portion (2). A release layer (32) covers at least the adhesive surface (28). The line of weakness (42) in the substrate layer facilitates removal of the labelling portion (2) from the rest of the labelling form (1), the release layer (32) being separable from the adhesive surface (28) so that the adhesive surface can be used to adhere the labelling portion (2) to an object and so that said non-adhesive part (38) of the labelling portion (2) can be folded over to conceal partly or fully said first printing surface.
Abstract:
A label sheet (1) having a release liner (16) and a column of labels (12) releasably adhered thereto is modified to allow easy removal of the labels. The liner has a weakened separation line (30) formed by cuts and ties running underneath a column of labels near the edge of the labels, and notches (18) at the top and bottom of the sheet aligned with the cuts and ties. A matrix (14) surrounding the labels, if present, also has cuts and ties, with the cuts and ties in the matrix parallel to and slightly offset from the cuts and ties in the liner. The separation lines are strong enough that the label sheet can be fed through a printer, yet weak enough that a user can tear off the liner and matrix along the separation lines, thus leaving a minor edge of a column of labels exposed for easy removal from the label sheet.
Abstract:
A high strength, flexible, foldable and printable sheet, such as a label sheet (12) or cardstock, is provided with a line of weakness (24). The sheet has maximum dimensions greater than that of a box (34, 36) into which the sheet is to be located, and is therefore folded flat to fit into the box. The sheet is later removed, and may be printed in a laser or ink jet printer or copier (38). The sheet is formed to have a tensile strength of at least 4.5 or 5.0 or more pounds, across the line of weakness, so that it will reliably feed through an office type printer or copier.
Abstract:
Flexible plastic labels which exhibit excellent ink-printability, excellent laser-imprintability and excellent mechanical properties are produced by incorporating a suitable laser-opaque material into the core layer of a multilayer coextrudate of the type previously used for labeling flexible plastic bottles.

Abstract:
A microporous olefing substrate coated with pressure sensitive adhesive. The microporous olefin substrate has the property of entrapping a plasticizer migrating from plasticized polymeric surfaces to which it is applied, particularly plasticized polyvinylchloride. The microporous olefin substrate is preferably formed of a high molecular weight polyolefin such as a microporous high molecular weight polyethylene. The sheeting preferably is heat resistant so that it does not distort, crease or wrinkle when applied to a plasticized surface and exposed to elevated temperatures such as 400 DEG F (204 DEG C).
