Abstract: A method of producing images on a metalized substrate is described. The metalized substrate comprises a substrate having a top side and a bottom side and a metalized coating adhered to the top side of the substrate. The method comprises the steps of printing an image onto the metalized coating by selectively applying a protective coating of the image, curing the protective coating, applying a demetalizing solution onto the metalized substrate, rinsing the metalized substrate, drying the metalized substrate, applying an adhesive coating onto the metalized substrate, and removing the adhesive coating.

Abstract: A format for stickers and labels comprises a first ply having an inner side and a UV pressure-sensitive adhesive applied to the inner side of the second ply, the adhesive being cured, a second ply having an inner side, the inner side of said second ply being married to the inner side of the first ply, and a kiss cut formed in at least one of said first ply and said second ply.

Abstract: A UV pressure-sensitive adhesive is described. In one aspect of the invention, the adhesive comprises a UV rosin-monomer blend, an acrylated urethane polyol, a TPDGA tripropylene glycol, a UV flexo photoinitiator, a nonionic wetting agent and molecular defoamer, and a slip additive and deaerator. In another aspect of the invention, the adhesive comprises a UV low odor rosin varnish, an acrylated urethane polyol, a TPDGA tripropylene glycol diacrylate, a multifunctional triacrylate monomer, a UV low odor photoinitiator, a nonionic wetting agent and molecular defoamer, a slip additive and deaerator, and a fragrance.
