Patent number: 6379761Abstract: The invention relates to a transfer label comprising a backing layer and a transfer layer which is releasably attached to the backing layer. From transfer to a container, the transfer layer is detached from the backing layer. After attachment to a container, the transfer layer can be removed in an aqueous liquid under turbulent soaking conditions at a temperature of not more than 100° C., preferably not more than 70° C. During these conditions, the transfer layer breaks up in at least four parts wherein each part is not smaller than 5 micrometers. The transfer layers is detached from the container with a soaking time of not more than 20 minutes, preferably not more than 10 seconds. The transfer label according to the present invention has a very high adherence during storage and use conditions, and can be rapidly removed from a container such as a reusable crate for bottles, in an economic manner.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 1998Date of Patent: April 30, 2002Assignee: Heineken Technical Services B.V.Inventors: Thomas Lynn Brandt, Daniel Nathaniel Willekens, Erwin Anton Rosens, Patrick Johannes Blom

Patent number: 6250316Abstract: The invention relates to a transfer label including a backing layer and a transfer layer which is releasably attached to the backing layer. The transfer layer includes an ink layer and on each side of the ink layer a top and bottom containment layer. The top and bottom containment layer contact one another outside the perimeter of the ink layer to form a closed envelop around the ink layer. The transfer label according to the present invention can be applied to a container such as a crate and can be easily removed therefrom in a washing process without the ink dissolving in the wash liquid.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 1998Date of Patent: June 26, 2001Assignee: Heineken Technical Services B.V.Inventors: Thomas Lynn Brandt, Neal Donald Turner, Erwin Anton Rosens, Patrick Johannes Blom
