Abstract: A method is described for preparing labels from blank stock material comprising printing on demand label information onto a substrate which has a pressure sensitive layer on one surface having relatively low adhesion to the opposite surface of the substrate to be printed and which has been rolled so that the adhesive layer adheres to the surface of the substrate to be printed.

Abstract: A pattern-forming sheet or label which is so flexible as to be expediently patterned, can provide a heat resistant or chemical resistant pattern to a product to be labeled, and can be subjected to high temperature atmosphere without burning treatment is provided, comprising a bonded laminate of a base layer obtained by shaping a low-melting glass powder into a sheet with a low-temperature decomposable acrylic polymer, and an ink-receptive layer made of a silicone resin layer containing an inorganic powder. Further, a novel label is provided, having a transfer pattern made of an ink containing an inorganic colorant formed on the ink-receptive layer of the pattern-forming sheet.

Abstract: A label substrate comprising an inorganic powder shaped in a sheet form with a silicone resin, an ink comprising a coloring agent and a silicone resin, and a label comprising the label substrate having formed thereon a pattern comprising the ink, are disclosed. The label is flexible, can form a pattern according to circumstances, and can fix onto an article by a low-temperature heating, a pattern having excellent opacifying strength or reflectivity, weather resistance, heat resistance, resistance to chemicals, and the like.

Abstract: A label, and a label sheet and an ink used for the label are disclosed. The label comprises a label sheet comprising an ink-receiving layer comprising a polyolefin having a viscosity average molecular weight of from 5,000 to 6,000,000 as a film-forming component, and heat-transferred patterns comprising an ink comprising a polyolefin having a viscosity average molecular weight of from 5,000 to 300,000 and a coloring agent, formed on the ink-receiving layer.

Abstract: A sheet for formation of a burned pattern, which comprises a laminated layer structure comprising a glass powder-containing layer comprising glass powder and a resin binder, an adhesive layer and a combustible substrate layer, the combustible substrate layer being provided on the surface and/or in the interior of the glass powder-containing layer in the laminate layer structure, or the combustible substrate layer being provided on the glass powder-containing layer having a pattern when the glass powder-containing layer is provided with a pattern comprising heat-resistant ink. A burning label is also disclosed, the burning label comprising a sheet for formation of a burned pattern, the sheet being provided with a pattern comprising heat-resistant ink, or a pattern made of pores or irregularities or obtained by punching the sheet.
