Publication number: 20250239187Abstract: A tamper-evident label for a beverage cup is provided. The label includes a top portion, a bottom portion, and a middle portion defined within a label substrate. A second middle portion corresponding to the middle portion of the label substrate is defined in a liner substrate. Die cuts in the label substrate separate the top and bottom portions from the middle portion. The middle portion and the second middle portion separate together from the label as a single unit along the die cuts while the top portion and the bottom portion remain adhered to sides of the cup. Once the middle portion and the second middle portion are separated from the label, they are not capable of being reattached to the cup, which provides tamper-evident visual evidence of potential tampering with an opening of the cup to a consumer.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 7, 2025Publication date: July 24, 2025Inventors: Timothy Darren Livingston, Shane Lamb

Publication number: 20250201151Abstract: A liner-label combination is provided for a tamper evident label. The combination includes a label substrate and a liner substrate. The label substrate includes label substrate die cuts that define a top portion, a middle portion, and a bottom portion for the label. The liner substrate includes liner substrate die cuts that correspond to the middle portion of the label. The top portion, middle portion, and bottom portion adapted to be separated from the liner substrate as a single label with a backside of the middle portion including the corresponding liner substrate defined by the liner substrate die cuts. The middle portion of the label adapted to cover an opening of an item and when removed from the opening, the middle portion separates from the top portion and the bottom portion along the label substrate die cuts providing evidence that the opening to the item was exposed.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 19, 2025Publication date: June 19, 2025Inventors: Timoty Darren Livingston, Shane Lamb

Publication number: 20250061820Abstract: A label-liner combination is provided. A liner substrate is segmented into three portions by horizontal die cut ties made in the liner substrate. The three portions comprise a top portion, a liner tear strip, and a bottom portion. A label substrate is segmented into three portions by perforations a border portion, a label tear strip, and a center portion. A front side of the liner substrate is aligned with a backside of the label substrate such that the liner tear strip aligns within the label tear strip, the bottom portion of the liner substrate aligns with the center portion of the label substrate, and the top portion of the liner substrate is aligned above and below a top perforation for the label tear strip.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2024Publication date: February 20, 2025Inventors: Shane Lamb, Timothy Darren Livingston

Publication number: 20240087479Abstract: A liner in a label-liner combination is provided with a die cut portion made in the liner. The die cut portion is aligned with at least one edge in a label and a front side of the liner is attached to a backside of the label. The die cut portion of the liner is adapted to be removed from the liner when the label is removed from the label-liner combination. Dimensions, and orientation, and a location of the die cut portion in the liner are adapted to allow the label to be removed from the label-liner combination and applied to a surface by digits of a hand without touching an adhesive coating on the backside of the label and adapted to maintain proper printer waste liner spool operations when the liner is wound after application of the label.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 20, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Shane Lamb, Timothy Darren Livingston

Publication number: 20200175894Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 3, 2018Publication date: June 4, 2020Inventors: Roger Francoeur, Timothy Darren Livingston, Robert L.
