A method of marking a package (72) includes providing a package (72) including an additive transformable from a first state to a second state in response to an external stimulus and presenting said package via a sales device (80). At least a portion of said additive is in said first state when said package is presented in said sales device (80). At least a portion of said additive is activated to form identifying indicia on said package within said sales device (80).

An epoxy resin composition including an epoxy resin, an epoxy resin curing agent containing an amine-based curing agent, and an unsaturated fatty acid amide having from 14 to 24 carbons, a gas barrier laminate and a retort food packaging material using the epoxy resin composition, an odor-proofing or aroma-retaining packaging material, an odor-proofing or aroma-retaining method of sealing an article containing an odorous component or an aromatic component in the packaging material, a heat-shrinkable label, the production method of the heat-shrinkable label, a heat-shrunken label and a bottle having the heat-shrunken label, and a CO.sub.2 transmission prevention method.

Devices for identification and marking of electrical cables and apparatuses in an industrial cabinet include a plate on which is present a bidimensional code, wherein the code presents a possible number of combinations equal to at least 10.sup.6. A system for the identification and marking of electric cable in industrial cabinets includes a set of devices; an apparatus capable of reading the bidimensional codes; and a processor capable of exchanging data with the reading apparatus, and wherein the electrical scheme of the industrial cabinet is charged. A method for identification and marking of electrical cables and apparatuses in an industrial cabinet making use of the above defined system includes installing a device a cable apparatus reading the bidimensional code using the reading apparatus; associating the bidimensional code to an alpha-numeric code defined in the electrical scheme.

Label constructions comprise a first section and a second section that are laminate constructions of a card stock top surface that may include printed indicia, an adhesive layer disposed underneath the card stock, and a removable liner adhered to the adhesive layer and common to the first and second sections. The first section includes an RFID device. The first section may be configured once removed from the liner to fold on itself to form an RFID tag, or to form an RFID adhesive label. The second section once separately removed from the liner forms an adhesive label. The construction first and second sections are positioned adjacent one another and are formed during the same manufacturing process for purposes of manufacturing efficiency. The first and second sections may be treated to facilitate separate removal from the liner to provide labeling flexibility.

A visual-information security system that includes an information security label positioned to conceal visual information on a substrate. The information security label may include a spiral-shaped cut (or other complex shape) within the body of the label and a pull-tab, such that when a user pulls on the tab, the label peels off of the substrate in a spiral pattern, revealing the information concealed beneath the label. The complex-shaped cut makes reapplication of the label difficult and evident, thus providing security to consumers. The label may include multiple layers of material, for example, a peel-off layer and an adhesive layer.

An indicator is provided that can couple, without a fastener, to a housing of an industrial device.

A system of visual and non-visual marks for pipes and couplings which allows users to group the pipes and couplings by type, size, end configurations and composition with a series of symbols, including colors, shapes, swirls, patterns. The symbols are applied to the pipes and couplings by printing, etching, painting, applying stickers, and or molding. The non-visual mark utilize the magnetic and radio reflective nature of the marks to allow remote identification of the plumbing pipes and couplings after being buried.

A business form comprises a first portion and a second portion adhesively secured to the first portion via a control bond adhesive. The control bond adhesive is a mixture comprising: between about 1 kg and 2 kg of a flexible adhesive; between about 1 kg and 2 kg of water; between about 12 g and 16 g gypsum, and between about 13 g and 23 g fumed silica.

The present invention relates to a smart and secure label stock with security features. The present invention relates to a label stock produced from a substrate utilizing adhesive and liner materials and having a plurality of security features on the rear side of the substrate made using specialized inks and various authentication features for different applications.
