Patent number: 9183766Abstract: The present invention is a metallized shrinkable label and a method for producing the same. The label of the invention is composed of a shrinkable film base and a graphic. The graphic is created by combining pigmented inks, a metallic coating and a shrink-resistant coating which is printed in a predetermined pattern with gaps so that upon exposure of the label to heat, the gaps close thereby forming a continuous graphic layer. Advantageously, the shrink-resistant coating minimizes discoloration and pleating of the metallic coating.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2013Date of Patent: November 10, 2015Assignee: CCL Label, Inc.Inventors: Barron G. McKillip, Ulrich E. Weyermann, Daniel B. Chaffee
