Patent number: 11995493Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for transferring a remote frequency identification (RFID) inlay from a first substrate to a second substrate. An RFID inlay is secured to a first substrate with a first adhesive. The RFID inlay is brought into the vicinity of a second substrate and secured to the second substrate with a second adhesive. The RFID inlay is then dissociated from the first substrate. The RFID inlay may be dissociated from the first substrate by softening the first adhesive, such as by the application of heat or the application of a softening substance. Alternatively, the RFID inlay may be dissociated from the first substrate without softening the first adhesive, but rather by differential release, whereby a release force is applied between the two substrates, with the release force being greater than the release strength of the first adhesive, but less than the release strength of the second adhesive.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2021Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: Avery Dennison Retail Information Services LLCInventors: Edward McGinniss, Carol Callahan, Peter Cockerell

Patent number: 11842655Abstract: A label stack assembly and method and system for preparing the label stack assembly is disclosed herein. The label stack assembly may be applied to a product in order to provide care instructions in multiple different languages. Individual pages of the label stack assembly may have separate content, such as translations of care instructions into multiple languages, and may be marked by tabs of various shapes, sizes, or styles that may protrude from an edge of the label stack assembly. Tabs may be marked with country codes indicating the translations or other information. The pages of the label stack assembly may be printed on both a front and a back side, such as may be desired, in order to minimize the number of pages used while maximizing the number of care instruction translations or other content pages.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2018Date of Patent: December 12, 2023Assignee: Avery Dennison Retail Information Services LLCInventor: Peter Cockerell

Patent number: 11504978Abstract: An agnostic in-line verification system and method produce finished RFID-enabled tags including labels, tags, tickets, stickers and the like. Includes is an RFID-verification base unit with an RFID-verifier that checks for verification of programmed data of the RFID-enabled tags. A feed module is positioned upstream of the RFID-verification base to receive a flow of RFID-enabled tags to be finished through RFID verification, and a collector module is downstream of the RFID-verification base unit and that receives RFID-verified tags from the RFID-verification base unit. In systems that feed a continuous stream of uncut tags, a cutter module is positioned between the verification base unit and the collector module.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2019Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: Avery Dennison Retail Information Services LLCInventors: George T.

Patent number: 9231290Abstract: The present invention is a method for producing ready to use RFID devices in a convenient and economical manner. The method in one embodiment includes a substrate having a first a second face and applying a pattern of adhesive to the first face of the substrate. A conductive foil is then laminated to the pattern of adhesive, and the conductive foil is cut to form a plurality of antenna patterns. A chip is applied to each of the antenna patterns. Printing is applied on the second face of the substrate to create distinct printed areas. Each of the printed areas is then read and the information is matched with each of the distinct printed areas to information encoded in each of the chips. Finally, each distinct printed area is separated from the substrate.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2011Date of Patent: January 5, 2016Assignee: Avery Dennison CorporationInventors: Ian J.
