A method for manufacturing a label with a suspension handle includes i) providing a first layered material including a support layer and a first front layer joined in a releasable manner; ii) covering a front surface of the first front layer with a detachment promoter layer, leaving a free zone where the promoter layer is absent; iii) providing a second layered material including a second front layer transparent to light and an adhesive layer iv) joining the products of steps ii) and iii) in a coupled material and v) separating a suspension handle in the handle area, at least one secondary label of the label in a different area, and forming a label surround in the first front layer. At the secondary label, the label includes an opaque contrast layer superposed on the second front layer eliminate transparency, a second graphic layer superposed on the contrast layer, and a protective layer.

The invention relates to a facestock for adhesive label, an adhesive label and an adhesive label laminate comprising an uniaxially in machine direction oriented facestock. According to an embodiment core layer comprises the following components: propylene homopolymer; a modifier consisting of at least one of the following: olefin elastomer, olefin plastomer and olefin block copolymer; and low density polyethylene. Further the invention relates to a use of the adhesive label for labelling of an article.

A rotatable self-lam for attachment to an elongate object can be made by variations to conventional self-lams. In some forms, the rotatable self-lam can be made by folding a portion of the head end of the self-lam onto itself to provide an adhesive-free length which is first wrapped around the elongate object during marker application. In other forms, a bifurcated release liner can have a portion proximate the head end of the marker which can be removed to help template or accommodate the fold to create the adhesive-free length or can have a portion proximate the head end which is retained when the portion proximate the tail end is removed such that the retained portion of the release liner provides an adhesive-free surface during application.

A label peeler system includes a first outer bracket having a first angled surface and a second outer bracket having a second angled surface. The label peeler system comprises a first movable bracket pivotably coupled to the first outer bracket and a second movable bracket pivotably coupled to the second outer bracket. A peel bar is secured to the first angled surface and the second angled surface, and a peel roller is rotatably disposed above the peel bar. A first roller is rotatably coupled to the first outer bracket and the second outer bracket. A second roller is rotatably coupled to the first movable bracket and the second movable bracket. The first roller and the second roller are configured to collectively pull the liner away from the label after the label is peeled by the peel bar.

Multi-layer films and labels are disclosed herein. In an embodiment, a multi-layer film includes a core layer, a first intermediate layer disposed on a first side of the core layer, a second intermediate layer disposed on a second side of the core layer, a first skin layer disposed on the first intermediate layer and arranged such that the first intermediate layer is disposed between the core layer and the first skin layer, and a second skin layer disposed on the second intermediate layer and arranged such that the second intermediate layer is disposed between the core layer and the second skin layer, wherein the core layer includes first particles in an amount ranging from about 8 to about 20 wt %, based on the total weight of the core layer, the opacity is about 90 or greater, and the gloss ranges from about 60 to less than about 80.

Heat resistant brittle films can be made from impact-modified poly(meth)acrylimide, and forgery prevention labels can contain the heat resistant brittle films. The films can be advantageously prepared by extrusion and, depending on the desired purpose, can be designed to be transparent, translucent, or entirely non-transparent, e.g., white. Ideally, the brittle films and the forgery prevention labels containing the brittle films have no intended break points such as slits, perforation, etc.

Use of olefin-based plastic films for obtaining labels in rolls for high speed roll-fed applications from about 8,000 to about 75,000 containers/hour, the films having a thickness comprised between 10 and 22 μm, flexural rigidity (N.Math.mm) in the range 0.5×10.sup.−2-4.5×10.sup.−2 save for a constant 1/[12×(1−ν.sup.2)] wherein ν is the Poisson modulus, the elongation at break in MD determined according to ASTM D 882 lower than 130%, dimensional stability measured according to the OPMA TC 4 standard at 130° C. for 5 minutes in the air in MD comprised between 0 and −10% and in TD between −4 and +4%.

Provided is a laminate and label for laser printing which are capable of preventing or reducing the occurrence of failure in printing by laser light irradiation. A laminate (1) is at least a laminate for laser printing, including a first layer (31) having a property of shielding against laser light, a second layer (32) having a property of absorbing the laser light, and a base material layer (33) which is optically transparent, which are stacked in the order named. The second layer (32) may have a thickness of not more than 15 μm, and may have a specific composition.

An oriented film or a shrink film comprising a polyester composition which comprises at least one polyester which comprises: a dicarboxylic acid component comprising: about 90 to about 100 mole % of terephthalic acid residues; about 0 to about 10 mole % of aromatic and/or aliphatic dicarboxylic acid residues having up to 20 carbon atoms; and a glycol component comprising: about 10 to about 29 mole % 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-1,3-cyclobutanediol residues; and about 71 to about 90 mole % ethylene glycol residues; and optionally, diethylene glycol residues; wherein the total mole % of the dicarboxylic acid component is 100 mole %, and wherein the total mole % of the glycol component is 100 mole %; wherein the inherent viscosity of the polyester is from 0.50 to 0.8 dL/g.

A direct thermal printable construct, such as a ticket, game piece, coupon, collection piece, label, security card, or voucher includes a thermally printable medium and a metallized layer bonded directly or indirectly to the thermally printable medium. A thermosensitive imaging layer of the thermally printable medium is printable by exposing the metallized layer to localized heat of a thermal printer for inducing local changes in the color of the thermosensitive imaging layer that are obscured from view through both the metallized layer and a base substrate of the thermally printable medium. One or more areas of the metallized layer are arranged to be removable by a scratching action using a fingernail or coin for revealing the underlying local changes in the color of the thermosensitive imaging layer.
