  • Multiple layer labels and methods
    Patent number: 6858108
    Abstract: A process of making multiple layer labels includes securing an upper label web to a base label web by means of hold-down openings in the upper label web and an adhesive overlaminate laid thereon and extending through to the base web. Die cutting and matrix removal steps, all carried out in-line in a single pass, produce a multiple layer label. Varied processes and label supply and label structures are disclosed.

  • Multiple layer labels for application to non-planar surfaces and apparatus and methods for production
    Patent number: 6749916
    Abstract: A multiple layer label has a pre-curved upper label on a base label. When applied to a curved or non-planar surface, a gap between portion of the labels accommodates the wrapping of the label structure around the surface and avoids tearing, splitting, bunching and wrinkling in the respective upper and base labels. The label structure is formed by bending the labels around a forming surface, releasing one end of the upper label and repositioning it on the base label so that when removed from the bending operation and straightened out, the upper label is arched away from the base label. Apparatus and methods are disclosed.
