    Abstract: A removable covering for an object includes an adhered section that is adhered to the object (e.g., adhered to a receiving surface of the object via an adhesive layer) and a free section that is not adhered to the object. The removable covering is sufficiently flexible to allow at least partial removal of the adhered section from the object by application of a force to the removable covering. Typically, the removable covering is adhered to the object such that resistance to removal of the covering from the object varies at different zones of attachment between the removable covering and the object. The resistance variation may be achieved, for example, by employing tabs, loops, folds, varying-strength adhesive strips, textures and/or release coatings. Exemplary packaging systems (e.g., containing removable coverings and/or objects) include features such that resistance to removal of the packaging system from an object varies at different phases of removal.

The present invention is also directed to articles for imparting an image onto a surface via condensation. An object of the present invention is to provide a method of modifying a surface or substrate such that an image is formed when water condensation droplets covers the surface or substrate. This is achieved by modifying a surface or substrate to make it have a different surface energy and therefore a different hydrophobicity or hydrophilicity than the base substrate or surface.

  • Publication number: 20120202020
    Abstract: The present invention includes an article and method for transferring an image from one substrate to another. The method includes providing or obtaining an image transfer sheet that is comprised of a substrate layer, a release layer and an image-imparting layer that may comprise a low density polyethylene or other polymeric component having a melting temperature within a range of about 90 degrees C. to about 700 degrees C. An image is imparted to the low density polyethylene area with an image-imparting medium. A second image receiving substrate can be provided. The second image receiving substrate is contacted to the first image transfer sheet at the polymer, image-imparting layer. Heat is applied to the image transfer sheet so that the low density polyethylene encapsulates the image-imparting medium and transfers the encapsulates to the image receiving substrate, thereby forming a mirror image on the image receiving substrate.

  • Publication number: 20120186735
    Abstract: A device and method for applying a prearranged pattern (e.g. words, numbers, designs, etc.) of individual decorative elements, such as faceted glass crystals, faceted plastic crystals or rhinestones in unison, with a single application, using a pressure sensitive adhesive to thereby provide for an easy single application of the entire prearranged pattern. The prearranged patterns of decorative elements are sandwiched in between a clear acetate top layer and a coated paper bottom layer. To apply the prearranged pattern to a surface, the coated paper bottom layer is removed, leaving the individual decorative elements attached to the clear acetate top layer, before pressing the top layer against the surface. After pressing the prearranged pattern against the surface, the clear acetate top layer is removed, leaving the prearranged pattern of individual decorative elements firmly attached to the surface.

  • Patent number: 8163365
    Abstract: A method for forming a sheet of label material is provided. The label material is used to form a label for placement on an object and for subsequent removal from the object without damaging the object. The method includes providing a paper substrate that has an adhesive receiving face and coating an adhesive on the adhesive receiving face of the paper substrate using a gravure coater to form a repetitive pattern of adhesive areas. For example, repetitive dots of adhesive assure a uniform, discontinuous coating of adhesive that allows repositioning of the label, that prevents tearing of or damage to a substrate when the label is removed, including from a newspaper, and that maintains sufficient adhesion to adhere to difficult substrates such as textured surfaces. The adhesive is a water based adhesive. In alternative embodiments, the adhesive is coated on an adhesive receiving face of a release liner, and the adhesive receiving face of the paper substrate removably adheres to the release liner.
