Abstract: A method of making a pad of labels comprises: printing display information on a top surface of a substrate; affixing a first layer of lamination material to a bottom surface of the substrate; affixing a second layer of lamination material to the top surface of the substrate, the second layer of lamination material having a release coating applied to a top surface thereof; applying an adhesive strip to a bottom surface of the first layer of lamination material, the adhesive strip being covered by a liner material; cutting the substrate having first and second layers of lamination material affixed into at least one label; removing the liner material to expose the adhesive strip after cutting the substrate into at least one label; and arranging the labels into a pad of labels.

Abstract: A device for stacking a plurality of partially connected labels into a plurality of partially connected pads of labels comprises a robot arm having at least one vacuum source configured to selectively supply a vacuum force. The device also includes a plate coupled to the robot arm and a flexible pad coupled to the plate and including a plurality of apertures configured to direct the majority of the vacuum force through the flexible pad to a surface of the plurality of partially connected labels.

Abstract: A method of making a pad of labels and labels for use on store shelves in a retail environment. The pad of labels include labels with adhesive strips applied to a bottom surface of each label and a top laminate layer with a release coating applied to the top surface of each label. The labels in the pad are sequenced according to a store's planogram.

The pad of labels include labels with adhesive strips applied to a bottom surface of each label and a top laminate layer with a release coating applied to the top surface of each label. The labels in the pad are sequenced according to a store's planogram. When viewed in profile, an embodiment resembles an accordion-like shape when the uppermost label in the pad is gently pulled. Another embodiment resembles a spiral-like shape.

Abstract: Various methods and systems for manufacturing and using shelf labels, signs, and strips in a retail establishment are disclosed that employ self-adherent stacks of shelf display materials. Some display materials include an ordered set of a plurality of individual display materials. Each of the individual display materials is releasably adhered to an adjacent individual display material in the ordered set, whereby forming a pad. The ordered set is arranged in a predetermined sequence of installation for each of the individual display materials in a retail environment. In another embodiment, a pad of shelf labels includes a plurality of sheets and releasable adhesive. Each sheet includes a single shelf label having a unique combination of product-identifying indicia and price information, and the releasable adhesive adheres each sheet to an adjacent sheet in a stacked configuration. The sheets are ordered in a predetermined sequence of installation in a retail environment.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for sequentially delivering book or magazine covers of the same or differing width dimension to a perfect binding system such that books or magazines of differing size can be produced without requiring system downtime for resetting of cover guiderail settings. Associated with each cover size is a cover feeder arranged to deliver covers therefrom, one a time, between members of a given pair of guiderails that are assembled in stacked parallel relationship on the bed of the cover conveyor. Under control of a microprocessor-based controller, covers of a predetermined size arrive at the gluing station of the perfect binder in synchronism with signatures of a selected size corresponding to the cover to be applied.
