Abstract: A method of producing a succession of self-adhesive labels carried on a length of release backing material, the method comprising the steps of: (a) providing a laminar material which includes a release backing material as a lower layer and an upper layer comprised of a web of self-adhesive backed material or a layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive; (b) depositing a succession of pre-printed labels onto the upper layer of the laminar material and adhering the pre-printed labels thereto, the laminar material being conveyed past a label applying station; and (c) cutting through the upper layer of the laminar material as far as the release backing material thereby to form the required self-adhesive labels; wherein the rate of deposition of the pre-printed labels onto the upper layer is controlled by detecting the position of pre-printed labels which have been deposited onto the laminar material, comparing the detected position with a desired position of the pre-printed labels and changing the said rate of depos

Abstract: A method of producing a succession of self-adhesive labels (6) carried on a backing of release material (8), the method comprising the steps of: (a) providing a first web of release material carrying a succession of folded leaflets (30); (b) conveying the first web along A pathway by a web conveyor, (c) printing a second web (36) with a succession of images along its length by at least one print station (44, 46, 48, 50), the or each print station being driven independently of the web conveyor and being directly or indirectly registered with reference to the first web or the folded leaflets; (d) laminating the printed second web over the succession of folded leaflets; and (e) die-cutting (54, 56) through at least the second web as far as the release material to form a succession of self-adhesive labels.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for producing a succession of self-adhesive labels carried on a length of release material is provided in which a succession of images are digitally printed on a self-adhesive web, the web is die cut to form a succession of self-adhesive labels on a length of release material, and the web is adhered to the backing of release material between the printing and die-cutting steps, so that during the printing step different images can be printed in alternation on the web, and the web can be folded.

Abstract: A method of producing a succession of self-adhesive labels carried on a length of release backing material, the method comprising the steps of:

Abstract: A self-adhesive label comprising a multilaminar label portion, a self-adhesive laminar material extending over, and adhered by its self-adhesive surface to, the multilaminar label portion thereby to form two self-adhesive edge portions thereof on opposed sides of the multilaminar label portion, a backing of release material to which one of the edge portions is releasably adhered and an unadhesive portion which is located on the rear surface of the said one edge portion.

Abstract: A method of producing a succession of self-adhesive labels on a length of release material, which method comprises the steps of:(a) applying a layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive to a surface of a length of release material;(b) applying a succession of individual folded sheets to the layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive so as to adhere the folded sheets to the release material, each folded sheet having an upper panel and a lower panel;(c) applying to the succession of folded sheets on the release material a web of a self-adhesive laminar material whereby the laminar material is adhered by the self-adhesive surface thereof over the succession of folded sheets;(d) cutting through the laminar material, the folded sheets and the pressure-sensitive adhesive as far as the release material thereby to form the self-adhesive labels, the cutting step being carried out whereby the upper panel of the folded sheet with the laminar material adhered thereto can be pulled away from the lower panel thereby to open the label;

Abstract: A self-adhesive label (26) carried on a backing of release material (20) comprising a multilaminar label portion (32), a tab portion (40) comprising a sheet which is spaced from the multilaminar label portion (32) and a self-adhesive laminar material (42) overlying and adhered by the self-adhesive surface thereof to the upper surface of the multilaminar label portion (32) and the tab portion (40), a region (48) of the laminar material (42) being disposed between the multilaminar label portion (32) and the tab portion (40) and adhered directly to the backing of release material (20). There is also disclosed a method of making a succession of such labels.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a self-adhesive label comprising a multi-laminar folded label which comprises first and second portions which are adhered to a backing of release material or to a self-adhesive support piece carried on a backing of release material by a first region of resealable adhesive respectively; and a method of producing a succession of self-adhesive labels carried on a backing of release material, the method comprising the steps of applying to a backing of release material or to a self-adhesive support piece carried on a backing of release material a succession of first regions of permanent adhesive and a succession of second regions of resealable adhesive and disposing a succession of multi-laminar folded labels to the adhesive regions whereby each multi-laminar folded label is adhered to the backing of release material or to the self-adhesive support piece by one of the first regions of adhesive and one of the second regions of adhesive.

Abstract: A self-adhesive label comprising a multilaminar label portion, a self-adhesive laminar material extending over, and adhered by its self-adhesive surface to, the multilaminar label portion thereby to form two self-adhesive edge portions thereof on opposed sides of the multilaminar label portion, a backing of release material to which one of the edge portions is releasably adhered and an unadhesive portion which is located on the rear surface of the said one edge portion.

Abstract: An apparatus for producing a succession of self-adhesive labels carried on a length of release backing material, the apparatus comprising a web feed device for feeding a first web, a cutting device for cutting the first web into a succession of individual sheets, a folding device for folding the sheets to form folded labels, a label feeder for feeding the folded labels in succession onto a second web including a release backing material and a web conveyor for moving the second web past the label feeder. There is also provided a method of producing a succession of self-adhesive labels carried on a length of release backing material, the method comprising the steps of:--(a) feeding a first web to a cutting and folding unit in which the web is formed into a succession of folded labels; (b) feeding, with a label feeder, the folded labels in succession from the cutting and folding unit onto a second web including a length of release backing material; and (c) moving the second web past the label feeder.

Abstract: A method of producing a succession of self-adhesive labels on a length of release material, which method comprises the steps of:(a) applying a layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive to a surface of a length of release material;(b) applying a succession of individual labels to the layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive so as to adhere the labels to the release material;(c) cutting through each of the labels and the layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive as far as the release material thereby to form the required self-adhesive labels; and(d) removing the waste portions of the applied labels and the waste portions of the pressure-sensitive adhesive which surround the self-adhesive labels from the release material. The present invention also provides apparatus for producing such self-adhesive labels.
