Abstract: In some embodiments, a printer system may include a location sensor, a motor and driver assembly configured for adjusting a print position of a subsequent image on a substrate having a first side and a second side and at least one wireless communication device, and an optical sensor. Adjustment of the print position may be based on detection of the wireless communication device using the location sensor and a subsequent determination of whether the corresponding printed image is properly aligned with the wireless communication device using the optical sensor.

Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, a label material attachable to a product and a method of applying the label material to the product are described. In some embodiments, a label material may include a polyurethane web including a top side and a back side, an adhesive applied to the back side, and a removable backing. The adhesive may have a melting temperature of less than 170 degrees Celsius.

Abstract: A label material attachable to a product, and a method of applying the label material to the product is described herein. Printed indicia, such as brand identifiers or other labeling information, are applied to the substantially transparent label material using a thermal or other suitable printer. The label material is then bonded to the product using a low heat and pressure technique to activate the adhesive. Once applied to the product, a portion of the label material bonded to the product substantially blends into the product leaving only the printed indicia readily visible to a consumer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a garment care label having a low tensile strength and a soft hand feel. In one embodiment, the label may be inexpensive and may be easily torn in order to ensure that customers can easily and deliberately remove the label, or parts of the label, should the label or any part thereof be irritating or unnecessary. In some exemplary embodiments, the label may be formed from a woven or non-woven base material, such as viscose, natural fibers, or a blend, and may be coated with polyurethane in a dip coagulation coat process. The label may then be printed on using any of a variety of methods, such as thermal transfer printing, inkjet printing, or flexographic printing.
