A self-laminating rotating cable marker label is constructed of a transparent film having a first adhesive area, an adhesive-free smooth area, and a second adhesive area. A print-on area forms one side of the transparent film, the print-on area adapted to receive indicia identifying the cable about which the marker label is applied. A perforation extends across the transparent film providing a line of separation of the transparent film. When wrapped around a cable, the second adhesive area overlies the print-on area such that the cable identifying indicia is visible through the transparent second adhesive area. As the transparent film is wrapped around the cable, the first adhesive area adheres to the cable. The remainder of the transparent film is rotated, breaking the perforation, whereby the smooth area of the film in contact with the cable provides smooth rotation of the label around the cable.

A multi-purpose sticker for decorating and sealing an envelope and also for attaching the sealed envelope to a package, such as a gift. The multi-purpose sticker generally includes a double-sided adhesive layer hidden below a decorative covering. With the decorative cover in place, one side of the double-sided adhesive of the sticker can be used to seal an envelope, and the sticker serves as a decorative sticker. If desired, the decorative cover can be peeled off to expose an adhesive in order to affix the sealed envelope to a package.

A label as shown and described herein. The label may include a label substrate, an adhesive adjacent the substrate, and a liner adjacent the adhesive, such that the adhesive is disposed between the label substrate and the liner, and wherein the label substrate is embossed or debossed, and the liner is not embossed or debossed.

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.

In accordance with the present application, there is provided a release liner and method of preparing a liner for a label assembly. The release liner includes paper having a first side that does not have a machine finish or gloss finish or a coating; and a silicone treatment applied to the first side of the paper. The method of preparing a liner for a label assembly includes applying a coat of silicone to a paper at a side of the paper that does not have a machine finish or gloss finish and is otherwise uncoated; and curing the silicone. The release liner includes paper having a silicone coat weight of 0.5 lb/ream or less.

A film structure with protection against manipulation includes a top film, a laser-inscribable layer which is arranged on the bottom side of the top film, and also a bottom film and a connecting layer for connecting the bottom film to the top film and the laser-inscribable layer. The connecting layer is arranged between the laser-inscribable layer and the bottom film. The film structure has an inscribed region and an uninscribed region. The top film is fused with the bottom film in the inscribed region of the film structure. As a result, it is virtually impossible to separate the top film with the inscribed layer from the bottom film without destruction in the event of a manipulation attempt.

A packaging system or tag is provided for at least one article or item, which employs a multilayer laminate structure that includes an encapsulated transformative material that is disposed between first and second conductive layers. The transformative material is configured to undergo a state change (for example, by a chemical reaction or physical change) that changes impedance between the first and second conductive layers in response to an intrusion or perforation through at least part of the multilayer laminate structure. Furthermore, one of the first and second conductive layers can be configured (for example, by printing or etching) to provide an RF antenna and a first electrode of the at least one integrated galvanic cell. The other of the first and second conductive layers can provide a second electrode of the at least one integrated galvanic cell. The at least one integrated galvanic cell is further provided by encapsulated electrolyte material and ion bridge disposed between the first and second conductive layers. At least one NFC/RFID integrated circuit is mechanically secured to the multilayer laminate structure (for example, in space between the first and second conductive layers) and electrically coupled to the coil antenna, the at least one galvanic cell, and other parts of the first and second conductive layers of the multilayer laminate structure. The galvanic cell can also be made to have long shelf life.

The present disclosure relates to a pH-sensitive variable-color ink composition, and a pH-sensitive indicator label and packaging material using same. The pH-sensitive variable-color ink composition includes: a pH-sensitive indicator prepared by mixing a plurality of pH variable-color dyes of which colors change according to a pH range; dissolving ink which is stirred along with the pH-sensitive indicator and capable of dissolving the pH-sensitive indicator; and an adsorption compound which is stirred along with the dissolving ink and capable of adsorbing gas, and the pH-sensitive label and packaging material using the pH-sensitive variable-color ink composition use the pH-sensitive variable-color ink composition.
