Abstract: A polymeric film tag stock which comprises; (a) a layer of a polymeric film having a top surface and a bottom surface; (b) a layer of a cohesive adhesive on the bottom surface of said polymeric film.

Abstract: A process of producing printed variably imaged labels cut to individual label sheets in a pre-defined sequence of variable information synchronized with the planogram of a retail store for labeling, output from a factory assembly line for unique product labeling or labeling of shipments from a fulfillment or distribution warehouse that all have unique data and follow a planogram or planned sequence. The labels are cut into single sheets using a cutter/stacker and either use a crack and peel liner or a stripped matrix around the label to facilitate easy removal and application. The cutter/stacker processes converted label stock that is either pre-printed and die cut and/or variably imaged.

Abstract: A contact clear, durable heat resistant single ply low cost packaging or labeling substrate having: (a) a clear heat resistant film selected from polyester films and cellulosic films having a top and a bottom surface and (b) a pressure sensitive adhesive layer on the bottom surface of the clear heat resistant polymer film that has a pressure sensitive adhesive and an amount of a solid filler which is effective to reduce oozing when the label substrate is passed through a high temperature printer.

Abstract: A method of printing a single ply transparent or pigmented cellulose film having a top surface and a bottom surface in a high temperature printer: said method including: (a) coating the bottom surface of the single ply transparent or pigmented cellulose film with a layer pressure sensitive adhesive and coating said top surface of said cellulose adhesive with a functional top coating while controlling the moisture content of the cellulose film at between 4.5 and 6.5 wt % water, based on the weight of the cellulose layer; (b) laminating a lay flat liner onto the layer of pressure sensitive adhesive to form a laminated single ply transparent or pigmented cellulose film; and (c) passing the laminated single ply transparent or pigmented cellulose film through a laser printer to affix printed indicia to the laminated single ply transparent or pigmented cellulose film.

Abstract: A card intermediate, as for identification, which includes a business from having one or more selectively-pattern-treated laminae diecut into it and adhesively secured to a film.

Abstract: An article of manufacture of removable segments, labels, coupons, and the like, as for identification, rewards and inventory control, which includes a support substrate film (17) structure having one or more selectively-pattern-treated (16) laminae for adhesively, but cleanly releasably, securing the segments, coupons and labels to the support structure (17).

Abstract: This invention relates to color changing tape, label, card and game intermediates for evidence of use, concealing proprietary information or gaming or promotional information until the intermediate is separated. The intermediate includes a substrate of clear or transparent or colored translucent polymeric film or translucent paper combined with judiciously selected cleanly separable translucent colored coatings in intimate contact to form one translucent color that leave no residue when separated.

Abstract: Durable self-adhesive laminates for use as supports for labeling comprising: (a) a thermoplastic resin film having (A) a label-receiving side and (B) an adhesive side, the label-receiving side consisting of a controlled-release surface without making use of a coated release substance and adapted to support a removable label attachable thereto by means comprising attraction forces between the resin film and a label; and (b) an adhesive having an ultimate release energy level greater than the attraction forces between the resin film and a removable label or labels.
