20140090778 | METHOD OF MANUFACTURING REVERSE-PRINTED, PRESSURE SENSITIVE CUT LABELS - The present invention provides a method of producing a reverse-printed pressure-sensitive cut label using thin or lighter liners in a continuous process and single pass. The invention eliminates the need for printing over the adhesive or silicone and permits reverse printing directly on the backside of the label face stock. Further, the present invention obviates the need for shipment of finished label material to a printer for printing and eliminates the multiple steps and costly equipment involved in silicone coating release paper in-line during the label making process. In addition, the present invention provides a method of producing multiple, single webs of cut reverse-printed labels in a single pass, saving both materials costs and additional unwinding, slitting and rewinding steps and equipment. | 04-03-2014 |
20140259834 | TEMPORARILY REMOVABLE REVERSE-PRINTED LABEL ASSEMBLY - The present invention relates to an adhesive-backed printed pressure sensitive cut label assembly with easy temporary removability, wherein the portion of the label forming the label stock may be printed on the back- or reverse-side of the label face stock and whereby the printed surface is applied with a hot melt or acrylic adhesive that ensures easy short-term removability from a container surface and reapplication thereto. The label stock is laminated to a base stock comprising a paper or polymeric release liner coated with silicone or other adhesive release coating. During manufacturing of the label assembly, the label stock and base stock are simultaneously fed to laminating rollers following a die-cutting process, whereby the two are joined. One feature of the invention is the ease of temporary removability after application to the surface of a container whereby there is no adhesion of the ink printed on the label to the container surface itself. An additional feature is the elimination of the need for an overlamination of the label face stock when using a reverse-printed label face stock over which an appropriate adhesive is applied. | 09-18-2014 |
