Abstract: A packaged flexible film is described. The packaged flexible film includes (i) a cylindrical core having an outer surface; (ii) a supply of flexible film wound about the core with a leading edge adjacent the outer surface and forming a connection ridge along the outer surface; and (iii) a cover strip comprising a compressed compressible cover material covering said connection ridge. Also described are a packaging system for flexible film and a multilayer flexible film packaging tape.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for inhibiting the peeling of labels from a web is disclosed. A web with a plurality of labels is pulled towards a peeling edge. An antenna examines at least one of the labels. Based at least in part on the antenna's examination of at least one label, one or more of a peel inhibiting device and a peeling edge is moved towards or away from the other. The combination of the edge and device forms a rounded surface over which the web and labels are pulled. As the web and label(s) pass across the combination of the edge and device, the separation of at least one of the labels from the web is inhibited.
