  • the invention relates to a label arrangement, and a method for producing the same.
  • the invention relates to a self-adhesive multi-laminar label arrangement comprising a leaflet or booklets including information relevant to the product to which the label is to be applied.
  • leaflet in which information provided on a self-adhesive product label (carrier label) is supplemented with a folded leaflet carried on the base label.
  • carrier label self-adhesive product label
  • the leaflet may be provided with a front cover flap which is releasably adhered, either to the carrier label, or to the product itself, to provide the user with repeated access to the information contained within the leaflet.
  • a self-adhesive cover, or "over-laminate” layer (generally a clear film) is provided over the leaflet to protect the leaflet and to provide resealable access to the leaflet's contents.
  • the over-laminate layer may adhere either to the carrier label, or extend beyond the carrier label and adhere to the release sheet.
  • a label assembly comprising a release sheet and a self-adhesive label component; characterised in that the label component comprises a printed synthetic material, and wherein the label component adheres directly to the release sheet.
  • the label component comprises a folded leaflet or booklet which is produced from synthetic material, such as a polyethylene or a polypropylene film. This is releasably adhered directly to the layer of release material, such as a web of silicone- coated carrier material.
  • the label component is adhered to the release by a pressure sensitive adhesive. During the manufacturing process, the adhesive may be applied either to the release sheet and/or to the label component.
  • the synthetic material is a co-extruded polyethylene film comprising a plurality of layers.
  • the film comprises three layers.
  • the layers of the film can be selected to have the required characteristics, so, for example, the middle layer may be selected as a stiffener, and the two outer layers selected to provide good print surfaces.
  • regions of both permanent and releasable adhesive are provided.
  • a pattern coating of permanent pressure sensitive adhesive and resealble adhesive is applied to the release sheet.
  • the self-adhesive label component may comprise leaflets or booklets which is printed with information relevant to the product to which it is to be applied.
  • a further advantage of providing the label component directly on the release is that this there is no requirement to apply a release varnish to the carrier label, to enable the leaflet to be opened and resealed. Also, there is no die-cutting process in-line, because the individual label components can be cut to shape before they are applied to the release sheet. This leads to a further reduction in the number of manufacturing steps.
  • the label component may comprise a longitudinal strip divided into a series of panels by transverse fold lines and printed with information, or a booklet glued (or wire stitched) at the spine to give individual pages.
  • the label component may be perforated so that the portions of the leaflet (including, for example, user instructions) can be torn away, leaving the remainder of the leaflet adhered to the product container (for example, for product identification purposes).
  • the product container for example, for product identification purposes.
  • the type of adhesive used to adhere the label component to the release backing may be selected according to the intended use and application of the label.
  • an aggressive permanent adhesive such as a hot melt pressure sensitive adhesive, typically used to bond plastic to plastic is preferred, to ensure a that the synthetic label component is firmly attached to the release backing web as the assembly passes through the label applicator machinery.
  • a further advantage of the use of a very aggressive permanent adhesive is that when the applied, the label is permanently applied to the product, including plastic containers (typically HDPE). If a less aggressive adhesive is used, then it may be possible to peel the label from the container, in view of the inherent strength of the synthetic material.
  • the top sheet of the label component may extend beyond the remaining folds, and adhere to a resealable adhesive applied to the release sheet.
  • the label portion is held closed by the application of adhesive applied as the label component is formed from a synthetic sheet on the folding machine.
  • One portion of the label forms a top sheet which is held by the adhesive to one of the lower folds of material.
  • the adhesive provided on the release sheet will be transferred to the label, when the label assembly is applied to the product, rather than being retained on the release sheet.
  • a method for producing labels comprising the steps of: providing an web of release material to form a release sheet; applying pressure sensitive adhesive to discrete portions of the release sheet; disposing a succession of label components in registration with the adhesive coating on the release sheet; and characterised by: each label component comprising a printed synthetic material, and each label component adhering directly to the release sheet.
  • a plurality of like self-adhesive label assemblies are carried in succession on a length of release backing material, which can be wound on a reel.
  • the label assemblies on the reel are applied to containers, when required, using conventional label applicator machinery.
  • the adhesive is applied to a face of the label component, which is then applied to the release sheet. This is an alternative to applying the adhesive to the release sheet and then applying the label components to the adhesive on the sheet.

  • Figure 2 is a section view of the label arrangement of Figure 1;
  • Figure 3 is a schematic diagram showing an apparatus for making labels in accordance with the present invention.
  • a leaflet component 10 is provided on a backing of release material 12, comprising a silicone coated paper web.
  • the label component 10 is releasably adhered directly to the release material 12 by adhesive layer 14, thereby avoiding the need for separate carrier labels, as are used in prior arrangements.
  • the label component 10 is manufactured from a wholly synthetic material, such as expanded polyethylene film.
  • a leaflet component 10 comprises a single sheet which is divided into three panels. The width of the first panel 16 is greater than that of the remaining two 18, 20, so that in use, this panel forms a front cover sheet which extends beyond the remaining sheets and releasably adheres to a pattern of adhesive 14 on the release web 12.
  • One or both of the remaining fold lines 22, 24 may be provided with perforations.
  • the front panel can be peeled back to provide the user with access to the folded label 10, which can then be resealed.
  • Panels 16, 20 can be removed, if required, by tearing along the lines of perforations, leaving the base panel 20 adhered to the product.
  • the use of a synthetic material for the label components avoids the need for an over- laminate layers, which are used to protect leaflets made from conventional label stock. The use of this material also avoids the need to use a release varnish to enable the leaflet to be repeatedly opened and then resealed.
  • a synthetic material such as co-extruded polyethylene film has been found to have properties to provide the print quality and folding characteristics of paper, while also providing the strength and moisture resistant qualities, previously provided in prior art labels by a separate over-laminate layer.
  • Figure 3 shows the method used to manufacture labels according to the present invention.
  • a reel 30 of release backing material 12 is provided.
  • the reel is unwound along a pathway to a printing station, or under adhesive coating heads, 32 at which a permanent adhesive pattern and a resealable adhesive pattern 14 are printed or applied to the upper surface of the web 12.
  • the adhesive is applied to discrete areas of the release sheet 12, corresponding to the intended position of the label components 10.
  • the adhesive When the adhesive is applied by printing on a printing press, the web 12 is then passed under a UV light to cure to a tacky adhesive.
  • the tack of the adhesive can be tuned by varying the power of the UV light. If a hot melt adhesive is used, this can be applied either in-line 33 on a printing press, or off-line on a stand alone system.
  • the adhesive 14 may be applied by providing full coating (continuous) in the regions where the label is to be applied, or in a pattern, stripe or bead extrusion.
  • the adhesive type can be either peelable or permanent, or a combination of the two. Because the adhesive bond is greater to the synthetic material of the label component 10 than the silicone coated release material 12, the adhesive 14 will transfer to the label portion 10, when the label is applied to the product.
  • an adhesive coating could be applied to the back page of the label component 10 before it is placed on the release backing sheet 12.
  • a self adhesive material could be used, which has a strip pattern coating of pressure sensitive adhesive running continuously along the web direction. Once the adhesive has been applied, the adhesive is sandwiched between two silicone coated release backing papers (not shown), which have different release values. In this way, the adhesive will stay on the bottom web 12 when the top paper is removed, by winding it onto a reel.
  • Label components in the form of folded booklets are loaded into a hopper feed unit 34.
  • the release backing web 12, with adhesive 14 on upper surface, is passed under the hopper feed unit and a label component is applied.
  • the web then passes to an application roller 36 and the assembly is pressed against the release backing material 12, before being wound onto a supply roll 38.
  • the leaflets on the supply roll are removed from the backing material 12 as the reel 38 is unwound, and these are then applied directly to the containers using conventional labelling machinery.
