摘要:
A system is configured to produce a series of printed clips (14p). The system includes a source (42) of web material (40), a cutting station (46), a drive assembly (70, 72) and a printing station (48). The web material (40) is configured to pass through the system in a machine direction (44). The cutting station (46) is configured to cut a first portion of the web material (40) into at least a first clip (12), index the first portion after cutting, and sequentially cut a second portion of the web material (40) into at least a second clip (12). Cut portions of the web material (40) exit the cutting station (46) in a free loop (14u). A drive assembly (70, 72) is configured to feed web material of the free loop (14u) through the printing station (48) at a web speed. The printing station (48) is configured to print indicia (16) on a first surface (18f, 18b) of the cut portions of the web material (40).
摘要:
A sheet (10a) of multiple hang tab and product tag assemblies (10; 110; 310; 410; 510; 710; 810; 1110), and methods of forming and using the same, the sheet (10a) comprising: a first non-stretchable strip (20a, 420) comprising a plurality of retention mechanism apertures (26; 126; 326; 426; 526; 726; 826; 1126) spaced from each other in a first direction (A); an elastic strip (22a, 422), wherein the elastic strip (22a, 422) is flatly conjoined with the first non-stretchable strip (20a, 420) at a first bond zone area (42a, 442) that extends in the first direction (A), and wherein the elastic strip (22a, 422) includes a plurality of product apertures (32; 132; 332; 432; 532; 732; 832; 1132) spaced from each other in the first direction (A), and each configured to stretch between relaxed and stretched states; and a second non-stretchable strip (24a, 424), wherein the second non-stretchable strip (24a, 424) is flatly conjoined with the elastic strip (22a, 422) at a second bond zone area (44a, 444) that extends in the first direction (A).
摘要:
A label assembly (10) that includes an elastic band (16) having a first end (26), a second end (28), and a bridging segment (30) between the first end (26) and the second end (28), and that also includes an adhesive anchor (18) bonded to the second end (28) of the elastic band (16). In some embodiments, the label assembly (10) also includes a tag portion (14) bonded to the first end (26), where the adhesive anchor (18) is configured to adhere to the tag portion (14) to form the elastic band (16) into a loop (20). In some other embodiments, the label assembly (10) includes a second adhesive anchor (44) bonded to the second end (28) of the elastic band (16).
摘要:
A bundling article (10) that includes a panel (16) that defines panel apertures (30), and at least one elastomer element (18, 20), where the at least one elastomer element (18, 20) is bonded to the panel (16) and has non-bonded portions (28) that overlay the panel apertures (30). The non-bonded portions (28) of the at least one elastomer element (18, 20) define stretchable apertures (22) having dimensions that are smaller than respective dimensions of the panel apertures (30).
摘要:
A hang tab and product tag assembly (210) configured for use with an item (214) and including: a first panel (220, 222) derived from an elastic material and including a first aperture (226) configured to engage with a retention mechanism (212), wherein the first panel (220, 222) includes a stretchable aperture (232), and the elastic material and a configuration of the stretchable aperture (232) are selected to support and suspend the item (214); and a second panel (224) derived from a non-stretchable material, and being conjoined to the first panel (222) along a first bond zone (244).
摘要:
An apparatus (100, 200, 400, 500, 600) includes a stack (110, 310) having a plurality of connected tie web sheets (106, 306) and an image (114) disposed on each of the tie web sheets (106, 306), wherein the image (114) is the same on each tie web sheet (106, 306) and is disposed in overlay registration from sheet (106, 306) to sheet (106, 306). Each tie web sheet (106, 306) includes a plurality of twist ties (104, 304), each twist tie (104, 304) having a proximal end (118) and a distal end (120), each twist tie (104, 304) being removably attached to the stack (110, 310) at its proximal end (118). A method of dispensing a plurality of twist ties (104, 304) includes mounting a stack (110, 310) within reach of a user and displaying an image (114) disposed on each of the tie web sheets (106, 306). Removal of a twist tie (104, 304) of the plurality of twist ties (104, 304) of the stack (110, 310) does not alter the image (114) viewable by the user.
