Publication number: 20210375160Abstract: A linerless label media includes a substrate having a first side, a second side and a longitudinal axis. The first side of the substrate has a release coat. The second side of the substrate has at least one area of a first adhesive having a first thickness, and at least one different area of a second adhesive having a greater thickness than the first thickness of the area of the first adhesive. The greater thickness of the second adhesive reduces a contact between the first adhesive and the release coat when the linerless label media includes a linerless label roll configured for use in a printer. A linerless label roll is also described.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 26, 2021Publication date: December 2, 2021Applicant: McAuliffe Paper Inc.Inventors: Michael Vigunas, Charles Thiaville

Patent number: 9978212Abstract: A solution for concealing confidential information that is printed at the point of sale in a game of chance utilizing a more common type printer designed for printing on a standard grade and biodegradable direct thermal paper. This system can print and cut each individual ticket in variable lengths. The unique and innovative concept of this new system allows a second and separate biodegradable substrate to be collated in a continuous stream over top of the printed ribbon before it is cut away and delivered into the presenter. The second substrate contains a strip of a specially formulated adhesive and is adhered to the top surface of the printed ribbon as the two substrates join together while passing through mechanical nip rollers. The confidential printed information is now covered and the combined substrates are cut and delivered as one ticket unit. The ticket information is revealed by easily peeling away the adhered top layer.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2012Date of Patent: May 22, 2018Assignee: MAX International Converters, Inc.Inventors: Michael Vigunas, Robert Lundgren, Neal McLoughlin, Phil Lulek, William Krahl
