  • Publication number: 20250095515
    Abstract: Tamper-evident media is provided. The tamper-evident media comprising a substrate and a plurality of die cuts in first portions of the substrate. A first side of the substrate comprising a print coating or image coating that enables the corresponding side of the substrate to be printed or imaged with custom indicia. A second side of the substrate comprising an adhesive. When the media is imaged with the custom indicia on the first side and adhered onto a surface of an item or an object using the second side. The media is incapable of being removed from the surface without damaging the media along one or more of the die cuts, which provides visible evidence that item was opened, or the object was used.

  • Publication number: 20240363031
    Abstract: A label is provided with a warning layer coating integrated or applied to a front side of the label. The warning layer coating is not activated by application of heat; rather, the warning layer coating activates upon a directional force (vertical or horizontal pulling) applied to the label after the label was initially adhered to a container, bag, box, and/or object. Upon activation, visible color or a printed warning indicia is visible on a front surface of the label, providing evidence that the label was removed after initial application or providing evidence that the label was attempted to be removed after initial application.

  • Patent number: 12008926
    Abstract: A label is provided with a warning layer coating integrated or applied to a front side of the label. The warning layer coating is not activated by application of heat; rather, the warning layer coating activates upon a directional force (vertical or horizontal puffing) applied to the label after the label was initially adhered to a container, bag, box, and/or object. Upon activation, visible color or a printed warning indicia is visible on a front surface of the label, providing evidence that the label was removed after initial application or providing evidence that the label was attempted to be removed after initial application.

  • Patent number: 11763368
    Abstract: Various embodiments herein each include at least one of systems, methods, software, and data flows for customized order processing. One example embodiment includes receiving data representative of an ordered item and retrieving data representative of components of the ordered item based on the received data representative of the ordered item. This embodiment further includes assembling at least one aggregate dataset of the retrieved data representative of the components, at least one aggregate dataset being a dataset providing a representation of the ordered item when rendered. Each of the at least one aggregate datasets may then be rendered. The rendering may include rendering a label or a wrapper for the ordered item. The rendering may also or alternatively include publishing the rendered data to one or both of a customer loyalty and social media account.

  • Publication number: 20200175894
    Abstract: A label with one or more removable components is provided. The label includes a substrate having a front side and a back side. A first area is defined within the front side and the back side of the substrate. A second area is defined within the front side and the back side of the substrate, the second area representing an independent-removable label from the label. In an embodiment, a method of printing the label with one or more removable components is provided. Print data is identified as confidential data and non-confidential data. The print data is reformatted so that the confidential data is imaged/printed by a printer in just the second area of the front side representing the independent-removable label.
