20110027546 | Label assembly and method of using the same to label articles durably yet removably - A label assembly and method of using the same to label articles durably, yet removably. In one embodiment, the label assembly is used to label fabric articles, such as clothing, and comprises (a) an image forming laminate for forming an image on the fabric article, the image forming laminate comprising an ink layer, the ink layer being bondable to the fabric article; and (b) an image removing laminate for removing the image from the fabric article, the image removing laminate comprising a remover layer, the remover layer, upon being activated by heat and/or light, being bondable to the ink layer of the image forming laminate; (c) whereby, upon bonding of the image removing laminate to the ink layer, the bonding between the image removing laminate and the ink layer is stronger than the bonding between the ink layer and the fabric article. | 02-03-2011 |
20110079651 | Method for labeling fabrics and heat-transfer label well-suited for use in said method - A method for labeling fabrics, such as fabric garments, and a heat-transfer label well-suited for use in the method. In one embodiment, the heat-transfer label includes (a) a support portion; and (b) a transfer portion, the transfer portion being positioned over the support portion for transfer of the transfer portion from the support portion to an article of fabric under conditions of heat and pressure, the transfer portion including (i) an ink design layer; (ii) a heat-activatable adhesive layer; and (iii) an RFID device. | 04-07-2011 |
20110289647 | PRESSURE SENSITIVE LABELS FOR USE IN A COLD TRANSFER METHOD AND PROCESS FOR MAKING - The present invention relates to a pressure sensitive label for use in a cold transfer process that can be used for garment identification and labeling. The pressure sensitive label can be applied on textile surface or any other surfaces for which heat transfer is unfavorable or unavailable. The pressure sensitive label can remain on the substrate to which it is attached through repeated washing and drying cycles. | 12-01-2011 |
20110308718 | Label assembly and method of using the same to label articles durably yet removably - A label assembly and method of using the same to label articles durably, yet removably. In one embodiment, the label assembly is used to label fabric articles, such as clothing, and comprises (a) an image forming laminate for forming an image on the fabric article, the image forming laminate comprising an ink layer, the ink layer being bondable to the fabric article; and (b) an image removing laminate for removing the image from the fabric article, the image removing laminate comprising a remover layer, the remover layer, upon being activated by heat and/or light, being bondable to the ink layer of the image forming laminate; (c) whereby, upon bonding of the image removing laminate to the ink layer, the bonding between the image removing laminate and the ink layer is stronger than the bonding between the ink layer and the fabric article. | 12-22-2011 |
20120276340 | HEAT-TRANSFER LABEL ASSEMBLY AND APPARATUS FOR APPLYING HEAT-TRANSFER LABELS - A heat-transfer label assembly. In a preferred embodiment, the heat-transfer label assembly includes a support. A plurality of labels are positioned over the support for transfer from the support to an article, each of the labels including an ink design. A plurality of spacers are positioned over the support but not over the label, the spacers not being transferable with the labels from the support to an article. The distance from the top of the spacers to the support exceeds the distance from the top of the labels to the support so that, when the assembly is wound into a roll, the labels do not come into contact with the bottom surface of an underlying portion of the support. | 11-01-2012 |
20120298293 | LABEL ASSEMBLY AND METHOD OF USING THE SAME TO LABEL ARTICLES DURABLY YET REMOVABLY - A label assembly and method of using the same to label articles durably, yet removably. In one embodiment, the method includes providing an image removing laminate. The image removing laminate includes (i) a remover support, and (ii) a remover layer secured to the remover support, the remover layer, upon being activated by at least one of heat and light, being bondable to an ink image on a garment in such a way that the bonding between the remover layer and the ink image is stronger than the bonding between the ink image and the garment. The method then includes bonding the remover layer of the image removing laminate to the ink image on the garment and, then, detaching the ink image from the garment by separating the image removing laminate away from the garment. | 11-29-2012 |
20140110042 | HEAT-TRANSFER LABEL WELL-SUITED FOR LABELING FABRICS AND METHODS OF MAKING AND USING THE SAME - A method for labeling fabrics, such as fabric garments, and a heat-transfer label well-suited for use in said method. In one embodiment, the heat-transfer label comprises (i) a support portion, the support portion comprising a carrier and a release layer; (ii) a wax layer, the wax layer overcoating the release layer; and (iii) a transfer portion, the transfer portion comprising an adhesive layer printed onto the wax layer and an ink design layer printed onto the adhesive layer. Preferably, at least a portion of the ink design layer is printed using a variable printing technique, such as thermal transfer printing. | 04-24-2014 |
20140120321 | Wash Durable Cold Apply Adhesive for Apparel Labeling and Embellishment - A pressure sensitive adhesive composition, comprising a first acrylic resin having from 1% to 10% by weight of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer having a hydroxy substituent; a second acrylic resin having from 1% to 10% by weight of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer having an acidic carboxyl group; a polyisocyanate crosslinking agent; and a polyaziridine crosslinking agent or a polyepoxy crosslinking agent. | 05-01-2014 |
