Abstract:
A receipt and label roll comprises a core and a web having a longitudinally-extending axis and wound on the core along the axis. The web includes (i) a substrate having a front side and a back side opposite the front side, (ii) a thermally-sensitive coating disposed on the front side of the substrate, (iii) adhesive disposed on a portion of the back side of the substrate along the web axis, and (iv) a release coating disposed on the front side of the substrate along the web axis to prevent the adhesive from sticking to the front side of the substrate when the web is wound on the core. The web further includes (v) a longitudinal weakened structure extending along a direction parallel to the web axis and dividing the web into a first web portion on which the adhesive is disposed and a second web portion which is substantially devoid of adhesive.
Abstract:
A laser printable shelf talker label sheet includes one or more removable shelf talker labels. The shelf talker label sheet includes a printable face layer laminated to a support layer, and one or more die cut removable shelf talker labels. The one or more shelf talker labels include at least the printable face layer having a first information portion and a second information portion, the support layer being adhesively attached to the face layer portion corresponding to the second information portion, the support layer portion being detachably attached to the face layer portion corresponding to the first information portion, and the printable face layer including optically transparent, fiber based material. A roll including one or more printable, die-cuttable shelf talker labels is also described.
Abstract:
An activatable adhesive that is formulated to readily absorb energy from a given radiation source, an activatable adhesive label that incorporates such an activatable adhesive, a system for activating such labels, and related methods and uses are described. The activatable adhesive includes a plasticizer, a tackifier, and an adhesive base polymer that includes butyl acrylate, styrene, methyl methacrylate, methacrylic acid, and acrylic acid.
Abstract:
A multilayer laminate such as a label assembly having high opacity and desirable appearance characteristics is described. The laminate includes a facestock layer, an adhesive layer, and a liner layer. The facestock layer includes a print-receiving top coat layer that includes a combination of titanium dioxide and one or more optical brighteners. The combination of these materials avoids build up of static charges upon laser printing on the facestock.
Abstract:
A high-tack pressure sensitive adhesive is provided. A high-tack adhesive is mixed with a low-tack adhesive to form an adhesive mixture. The adhesive mixture applied to a portion of a substrate as a high-tack pressure sensitive adhesive patch. In an embodiment, the adhesive mixture includes a thickening agent.
Abstract:
A combined receipt and label roll comprises a core, and a web having a longitudinally-extending axis and wound on the core along the axis. The web includes (i) a substrate having a front side and a back side opposite the front side, (ii) a thermally-sensitive coating disposed on the front side of the substrate, and (iii) a water-based microsphere adhesive disposed on the back side of the substrate along the web axis. The water-based microsphere adhesive comprises at least four separate adhesive patches. The at least four adhesive patches are both sized relative to each other and positioned relative to each other on the back side of the substrate such that additional tack desired can be obtained by increasing volume of the adhesive patches without having to increase coat weight of the adhesive patches.

Abstract:
Provided is a method for tagging and identifying wire rope comprising positioning a fitting over a wire rope having a first end, a second end and an internal portion; securing the fitting to the wire rope; and marking indicia directly onto the fitting with a laser. Also provided is a tagged wire rope comprising at least one fitting positioned and secured over a wire rope having a first end, a second end and an internal portion, wherein the at least one fitting includes indicia directly marked onto the fitting with a laser.
Abstract:
A laminate that possesses dye sublimation properties, particularly for use as tagless labels and embellishments for garments, apparel, fabric items and so forth such as sportswear fabrics, clothing and accessories is provided. The laminate includes a dye sublimation ink layer that overlies a substrate in which the dye sublimation ink interacts with the substrate's chemical make-up.
Abstract:
Provided is a structure including a supporting member, a recording medium configured to be attached on a surface of the supporting member, and a positioning portion configured to serve as a mark when the recording medium is attached on the surface of the supporting member, the positioning portion having an average height lower than an average thickness of the recording medium.
