The two glue layers are directed toward each other. The layer have straight leading edges which are positioned above each other and are held in this registered position by a registering device. A rejecting device is used to prevent mutual adhesion between the two glue layers.

Abstract: A business form (preferably continuous) with self-contained labels has significant versatility and a number of advantages. A cellulose ply is applied larger than a release liner ply, while the release liner ply may be provided so that one edge (e.g. with tractor drive holes) extends past a substantially parallel edge of the cellulose ply. At the opposite edge of the release liner ply adhesive release material is provided along between about 10-50% of the length of the edge so that the release material covered portion of the edge is not substantially permanently adhered to the edge by the adhesive between the plies. This allows the labels formed in the cellulose ply where overlapped by the release liner to be removed from the back or front, and allows one to separate the release liner ply completely from the cellulose ply for ease of recycling. The method of making the forms typically uses a conventional Webtron press.

Abstract: A releasing agent is applied to opposite side edge portions of a tack sheet to form releasing regions. A laminated sheet provided with an adhesive layer having exposed opposite side edge portions is overlaid on the tack sheet. The laminated sheet is bonded to the tack sheet through portions of the adhesive layer not corresponding to the releasing regions. The laminated sheet is punched to form a plurality of divisions, and the divisions are bonded to the tack sheet by the portions of the adhesive layer not corresponding to the releasing regions. Portions having a desired figure of the tack sheet are punched out to provide adhesive labels.

Abstract: A self-wound, self-adhesive, resealable tamper-evident tape is provided. The tape is used to seal any container requiring a self-adhesive closure, such as bags or pouches, and provides clear visual evidence if the self-adhesive seal is peeled apart. The tape comprises a backing sheet, the upper surface of which is coated with a release layer, and the bottom surface with an adhesive. The release layer is relatively non-adherent to the adhesive so that the tape may be wound or rolled up without a separating liner. A non-visible patterned varnish layer is applied to the adhesive to create a hard surface onto which an colored ink layer is subsequently applied. The colored ink layer breaks or chips when the self-adhesive seal is peeled apart and retains this appearance if the tape is reapplied to seal the container, thereby providing visible evidence of tampering.

A layer of adhesive is interposed between the bottom panel and the upper surface of the release liner.

Abstract: An expanded content label (ECL) having a segmented base label that allows the label to conform to a curved surface. A booklet and covering overlaminate are secured to the spaced-apart segments of the base to interconnect the segments. The gap between the segments enhances the ability of the label to flex and move along a supporting curved surface to conform to the surface without buckling or wrinkling. The label is produced by die cutting a web to form a segmented base label, securing a booklet to the segmented base label, and optionally securing an overlaminate to the booklet. At least one of the booklet and the overlaminate bridge the segments of the base label. In an alternative embodiment, the overlaminate is eliminated and the booklet includes a coversheet that extends across the gap between the base label segments.

The composition is useful in preparing a low-gloss release coating for use on linerless labels.

Abstract: A planar form or structure is used to create a laminated card or other planar article. The structure and related method allow the carrier surface of the laminated article to be customized or personalized, before it is laminated, such as by adding to the carrier surface an account number, signature, address, serial number, photograph, microchip, or other planar indicia. The carrier surface is adhered to the transparent lamina across substantially all its surface area to create a strong, tamper resistant bond. The laminated card is created from a multiple-ply structure defined within the boundaries of the larger form. The multiple-ply structure has horizontal dimensions substantially corresponding to the ultimate horizontal dimensions of the laminated card or article being created. The carrier is printable and able to be laminated on both sides, yet if desired, the carrier can be limited to only a single ply, thereby reducing the thickness of the resulting laminated card.

Abstract: A device for use in inserting a label into a holder or pocket comprises a pair of laminar members of low friction material of a size and shape corresponding generally to that of the label so as to be adapted to lie against opposite surfaces of the label to reduce frictional resistance between the label and the surfaces of the pocket to facilitate insertion of the label, a central portion of one of the members being removed at the end which is first inserted into the pocket and the other member being shorter in length, whereby following insertion pressure may be applied through the container or pocket to the portion of the label at said central location to hold the label in position during withdrawal of the device. An alternative form of device incorporates locating devices at intervals along its length for use in inserting labels of different length.

Abstract: A material sheet assembly in which a label base attached to a release liner by means of an adhesive is set in roll form is used. In a step in which the material sheet assembly is continuously fed out, the release liner is released by leaving the adhesive on the label base, and the release liner is consecutively taken up. By using a noncontact-type printer, printing is effected on the adhesive surface of the label base separated from the release liner to form a printed label. The printed label is in such a form that the printed surface is disposed between the label base and an adherend. The labels can be attached immediately after they are manufactured, and they can be stored or transported by being taken up in roll form while an additional release liner is attached to the printed surface side.

Abstract: A novel temporary posting sticker comprises a first area coated with a non-destructive adhesive coating and a second area substantially free from such non-destructive adhesive coating and a weakened tear line that substantially separates the first area from the second area. By tearing the sticker along the weakened tear line, the second area of the sticker, which may contain written or printed information, may be saved as an ordinary adhesive-free memo note thereby overcoming the nuisance inconvenient sticking to other surfaces exhibited by prior art temporary posting stickers. Alternatively, the novel sticker comprises a weakened fold line (score line) such that when the sticker is folded along the score line the adhesive coating on the first area is substantially covered and adheres to the back side of the posting sticker. Thus, the second area of the sticker may be saved without exhibiting any inconvenient sticking to other surfaces.
