  • Patent number: 10056013
    Abstract: A two-part label roll includes a liner and labels with removable strips. The liner is cut under the removable strip to allow a portion of the liner to remain with the label as it is removed from the liner and applied to a package. The liner may be cut in sections to leave liner ties to connect the opposing cut edges of the liner portion. The removable strip may be elongated and extend transverse to the side edges of the liner roll and the cut portion having a non-linear leading edge to facilitate label application with automated equipment.

  • Publication number: 20020119273
    Abstract: A card has an adhesive layer for allowing the card to be removably attached to any desired structure. A layer of liner material is disposed over the adhesive layer and can be removed to expose a portion of the adhesive layer, allowing the card to be removably attached to the desired structure by pressing the exposed adhesive layer against the structure. In another embodiment, the card has a pressure sensitive label portion and a coupon portion. The label portion includes a layer of adhesive between a layer of sheet material and a layer of liner material. Peeling off a portion of the liner material exposes a portion of the adhesive layer, allowing the card to be removably attached to the desired structure. A permanent adhesive layer may be disposed over the layer of liner material, and a second layer of liner material may be disposed over the permanent adhesive layer. The card can be fixedly attached to the structure by pressing the exposed permanent adhesive layer against the structure.
