Abstract: A multi-ply, expanded content wrap label includes a base ply and an upper ply thereon with adhesive applied to the underside of a trailing end of the base ply to form a splice between the base ply and the upper side of the upper ply when the label is applied to a container.

Abstract: A process of making multiple layer labels includes securing an upper label web to a base label web by means of hold-down openings in the upper label web and an adhesive overlaminate laid thereon and extending through to the base web. Die cutting and matrix removal steps, all carried out in-line in a single pass, produce a multiple layer label. Varied processes and label supply and label structures are disclosed.

Abstract: A peel-back, re-sealable multi-ply label in which a first portion of an upper ply is substantially coextensive with a base ply to form a two-ply panel, and in which a second portion of the upper ply extends beyond the base ply in at least one direction to form a single-ply panel. The lower surfaces of the base ply and the second portion of the upper ply are adapted to be substantially permanently attached to a container surface by a pressure-sensitive adhesive. The lower surface of the first portion of the upper ply is coated with a pressure sensitive adhesive and is releasably bonded to the base ply by a release coating therebetween, enabling the first portion to be peeled back to reveal printed matter on the base ply and lower surface of the upper ply, and subsequently re-sealed.

Abstract: A multiple layer label has a pre-curved upper label on a base label. When applied to a curved or non-planar surface, a gap between portion of the labels accommodates the wrapping of the label structure around the surface and avoids tearing, splitting, bunching and wrinkling in the respective upper and base labels. The label structure is formed by bending the labels around a forming surface, releasing one end of the upper label and repositioning it on the base label so that when removed from the bending operation and straightened out, the upper label is arched away from the base label. Apparatus and methods are disclosed.
