Abstract: A bridge label including two adhesive portions, the adhesive portions defining a first face of the bridge label; and a non-adhesive portion extending between the two adhesive portions, the non-adhesive portion also defining the first face of the bridge label. A splicing system including the bridge label in combination with a top sheet of a new roll, and a splicing tape provided across the top sheet of the roll. A second face of the bridge label, which opposes the first face, is affixed to an exposed adhesive portion of the splicing tape. The adhesive portions of the bridge label affix the first face of the bridge label to an expiring web. A splicing method including affixing the bridge label to a splicing tape that is adhered to the roll.

Abstract: A splicing tape (100) is provided having a base layer (10), an adhesive layer (20) on the top of the base layer (10), a first adhesive strip (30a) and a second adhesive strip (30b) on the bottom of the base layer (10), and a two lines of separating portions (50a and 50b) in the base layer (10). A splicing tape (100a) is also provided having a base layer (10a), a top adhesive (20a) on the top of the base layer (10) with detackified portions (14a and 15a), and a bottom adhesive (30c) on the bottom of the base layer (10a) with a detackified portion (23a), and first and second lines of separating portions (50a and 50b) in the base layer (10a). The line of separating portions (50a or 50b) can include perforations having a ratio of perforation length to space between perforations between a ratio of 4 to 6 and a ratio of 9 to 1.
