Patent number: 11745908Abstract: A labeling apparatus comprises a separation member configured to promote detachment of an adhesive label from liner web. Adhesive labels are fed to the separation member such that a surface of the facestock contacts the separation member. The separation member has a surface exhibiting a tack such that the tack force between the facestock and the separation member is greater than the release force between the release liner and the adhesive layer of the labels. The labels become associated with the separation member, and the label is applied to a surface of a substrate by contacting the exposed adhesive layer with a surface of a substrate, which causes the adhesive label to detach from the separation member.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2022Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: Avery Dennison Retail Information Services LLCInventors: Kevin O. Henderson, Victor P. Holbert

Patent number: 10195839Abstract: Processes for forming a thermoformed labeled article are described. Labels are attached to a sheet to be thermoformed or to a section thereof. Label attachment can optionally use an adhesive. If the label material is completely or partially compatible with the sheet then the use of adhesive may not be necessary. The labels may also receive various graphics or other designs, such as by printing. After appropriate placement of the label relative to the sheet, the assembly of both sheet and label is thermoformed. After thermoforming, a finished and labeled article is produced. Also described are various labels and label assemblies which are uniquely suited for use in the processes described herein.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2013Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: Avery Dennison CorporationInventors: Farid F.

Patent number: 9605183Abstract: The present subject matter provides an adhesive article having a release agent or liner that is free of silicon-containing and fluorine-containing material, and related methods of adhering a backing material of the adhesive article to a substrate. The adhesive article utilizes an amorphous polyvinyl alcohol layer that facilitates removal of an optional release liner from an adhesive layer. Upon removal of the release liner, the amorphous polyvinyl alcohol layer remains disposed on the adhesive layer. A method of adhering the backing material to a substrate includes dissolving the amorphous polyvinyl alcohol layer and disposing the backing material to a substrate. During dissolution of the amorphous polyvinyl alcohol layer, a weak, temporary bond is formed between the substrate and the backing material. When the amorphous polyvinyl alcohol layer substantially dissolves and dries, the adhesive layer is exposed and forms a permanent bond with the substrate.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2013Date of Patent: March 28, 2017Assignee: Avery Dennison CorporationInventors: Kevin O. Henderson, Victor P. Holbert

Publication number: 20160039177Abstract: A multilayer laminate including a liner, a film, and an adhesive layer between the liner and film layers is described. The laminate includes a first release layer between the film layer and the adhesive layer, and a second release layer between the liner and the adhesive layer. The release characteristics of the two release layers are controlled to thereby enable the film layer, after receiving printed designs and/or text, to be removed from the remaining portion of the laminate, re-oriented, and then re-applied to the remaining portion of the laminate. Related methods associated with reconfiguring the laminate and application to articles or other receiving surfaces are also described.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2015Publication date: February 11, 2016Inventors: Victor P. HOLBERT, Paul L. PURDEF, Richard A. NEIMAN
