  • Non-laminate thermosensitive, pressure sensitive label and method of manufacture
    Patent number: 4851383
    Abstract: A thermosensitive pressure sensitive label is provided which includes a substrate, a thermosensitive layer on one side of the substrate and a pressure sensitive adhesive layer disposed on an opposite side of the substrate. A barrier layer on top of the thermosensitive layer is covered with a silicone layer which enables the label to be rolled upon itself and unrolled without the use of a conventional backing sheet. In addition, the silicone layer enables color images formed in the thermosensitive layer to have a greater image density than the image density of color images that can be formed in the thermosensitive layer without the silicone layer being disposed thereover.
