Abstract: The present invention provides a process for labeling a surface with a shrinkable polymeric label, said method including the steps of:

Abstract: Polymeric sheets or rolls suitable for printing and forming in-mold labels for plastic containers comprise a multi-layered, co-extruded, polymeric substrate having a container-facing side and an indicia-receiving side, at least one layer being a heat seal layer coextruded on the container-facing side, and at least one heat activatable adhesive layer which is coated on the container-facing side over the coextruded heat seal layer. Such a sheet or roll can be printed with label indicia and then cut into individual labels for affixing to the container as part of the in-molding process. Recyclable containers are provided having firmly adherent, squeeze-release-resistant labels.

Abstract: A peelable or couponable label adapted to be releasably attached to a secondary or base label which is adhered to a labeled article.

Abstract: Labels having a permanent section and at least one removable coupon section are made from polymeric sheets or rolls suitable for printing and forming, at high rates of production, blown or injection in-mold labeled plastic containers are based on a polymeric white opaque, transparent, translucent or contact clear substrate monoaxially oriented and having a thickness in the range of 0.002 to 0.008 inches. The polymer film is reverse pattern-printed with an abhesive coextensive with the detachable portion then overcoated on the container-facing side with a continuous coating of heat activatable adhesive. Such sheet or roll can be printed and then cut into individual labels for affixing to the container as part of a in-molding process. Recyclable containers are provided at high speed without missing labels or doubled labels due to feeding problems.

Abstract: A multilayer resealable container and closure seal for a container comprising a base layer and a face layer adhered together by an adhesive means, wherein said base layer of the seal is adherable to a container to be sealed by folding said closure seal over the opening of a container with greater adhesion of the base layer to the container to be sealed than adhesion of the face label to the base label so the face layer can be removed from the base layer with the base layer remaining adhered to the container and said closure is resealable by folding said face layer over said base layer.

Abstract: A direct image-recording material has a layer of a thermosensitive layer formed on a thin substrate. The substrate comprises an organic polymeric material that is substantially transparent and colorless and has a thickness no greater than about 10 .mu.m. Preferred embodiments of the invention further include a support sheet with an interposed first adhesive layer on the thermosensitive composition layer. Other preferred embodiments further include a second adhesive layer and a backing sheet, which may be releasable, on the support sheet.
