Abstract: A cut-and-stack label includes a cut-and-stack sheet sized for feeding by cut-and-stack labeling equipment and labeling an individual container. The cut-and-stack sheet includes a first shrink film layer having a first face and a second shrink film layer having a second face. The first face of the first shrink film layer is laminated to the second face of the second shrink film layer. Printing is provided on at least one of the first and second faces. A method of producing cut-and-stack labels and a method of labeling a container are also provided.

Abstract: A cut and stack label includes a layer of polymer shrink film printing stock having a first face carrying a printed message and a second, opposite face, a clear polymer shrink film laminated to the first face over that printed message and a coating of an anti-static formulation over the clear polymer shrink film and/or the second face. A dusting or layer of offset powder is also provided.

Abstract: A method of reducing costs associated with production of cut-and-stack labels includes: (a) stacking first and second webs of printing stock; (b) cutting the stacked webs into two sheets of desired length; and (c) temporarily welding the sheets together during cutting so as to provide the two sheets with sufficient stiffness to be properly transferred to a skid. The method allows production of cut-and-stack labels from printing stock of reduced thickness thereby reducing material costs associated with label production.

Abstract: A method is provided of producing cut-and-stack labels from a web of printing stock. The method includes the steps of printing indicia on a first face of the web, laminating a protective film to the web over the printed first face, applying an antistat to the laminated web and drying the antistat. This is followed by the slitting of the web into at least two narrow webs. The narrow webs are then dusted with an offset powder, cut into sheets of predetermined length and finished into cut-and-stack labels.

Abstract: A label incorporates slip agent and antistat directly into the polymer layers from which the label is constructed.

Abstract: A label prepared from sheet printing stock includes a coating of an antistatic formulation over both exposed faces.
