  • Patent number: 11688305
    Abstract: A label sheet assembly and method is disclosed for improving the process of feeding label sheets through a printer. The label sheet assembly may include a facestock layer and a liner sheet. The facestock layer may include an adhesive layer along at least a portion of a first side and include a label surface along at least a portion of the second side opposite the adhesive layer. The liner sheet layer may include at least one surface feature provided along a back side of the liner sheet. In another embodiment, the facestock layer may include at least one surface feature provided along the front of the facestock layer.

  • Publication number: 20210201707
    Abstract: A label having an imprint layer, a non-opaque layer, and a carrier layer is described. The label allows for printed information to be fixed to the outward-facing imprint layer. It is then removed from the carrier layer and applied to a curved surface so as to wrap completely around the object and overlap and adhere to itself over however many revolutions may be required. The trailing edge of this label can be selectively and non-destructively peeled away, and unwound to reveal the entire length of label and the printed content thereon, with its adhesive still being sufficient to allow the label to be rewound.
