A multilayer film (8) for applying a label (4) to a fabric support (2) by hot pressing includes a lower layer (8a), a barrier layer (8b) and an upper layer (8c). The lower layer (8a) is substantially made of copolyamide, the barrier layer (8b) is substantially made of EVOH, and the upper layer (8c) is substantially made of copolyamide. The film is particularly effective for limiting the migration of pigments from the fabric to the label.

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.

A method for producing a label for affixing in a vehicle. The method includes printing of a substrate layer to yield a basic label form; production of an adhesive film with a first adhesive layer; and sticking the adhesive film to the basic label form using a second adhesive layer to produce the label. Also described is a label kit including a basic label form with a printed substrate layer and an adhesive film, wherein the adhesive film is configured to be stuck to a printed side of the substrate layer of the basic label form.

A method of applying labels to a store shelf in a retail environment. The method includes applying labels with adhesive strips applied to a bottom surface of each label and a top laminate layer with a release coating applied to the top surface of each label. The labels in the pad are sequenced according to a store's planogram.

Provided herein is a label structure for tagging a product item. The label structure includes a first graphic pattern having a first number of pixels and printed on a first portion of the label structure; a second graphic pattern having a second number of pixels and printed on a second portion of the label structure, the second graphic pattern forming an optical code readable by an optical decoding device; and shielding means capable of hiding or making visible the first graphic pattern depending on the values taken by a physical quantity to which the label structure is exposed. The first and second graphic patterns can be observed in combination, when the first graphic pattern is made visible by the shielding means.

Embodiments of this application provide a detection label for an electronic device and an electronic device. The detection label includes a detection part and an adhesive layer, where the detection part is configured to detect whether liquid flows into an electronic device, and the adhesive layer is configured to connect the detection part to a housing of the electronic device. The detection part has a first surface, the first surface is a surface of a side facing towards the housing, the adhesive layer may be disposed on the first surface, and an area of the adhesive layer is less than an area of the first surface. In this way, a part of the first surface is not covered with the adhesive layer, and liquid can be in contact with the first surface, so that the detection part can perform detection in a plurality of directions simultaneously.

An LED sticker is disclosed that receives an NFC transmission from a nearby smartphone to energize LEDs in the sticker. A spiral (or loop) antenna is used in the sticker to generate power from the NFC transmission. The NFC signal is at 13.56 MHz, which is the resonant frequency of the NFC antenna circuit in the smartphone. The LED portion is formed by sandwiching pre-formed microscopic LEDs between two conductive layers to connect the LEDs in parallel. The conductive layers form a relatively large integral capacitor that is used to achieve the 13.56 MHz resonant frequency. So no additional capacitor is needed in the circuit to achieve a resonance of 13.56 MHz. This greatly reduces the design requirements of the antenna. The LED sticker may also contain an NFC tag having its own independent loop antenna and NFC chip. Various practical applications of the LED sticker are disclosed.

A security device (1) comprising an optically transparent layer (3) including a repeating first array of separate optical focussing elements (3) (e.g. having translational symmetry) wherein a pitch distance between repeated elements in the first array is a first pitch value (A). The device also includes a repeating second array of separate image elements (6) (e.g. having translational symmetry) collectively defining an image viewable through the first part. The device is structured such that a pitch distance between repeated or successive elements in the second array is a second pitch value (B) wherein the ratio (A/B) of the first pitch value and the second pitch value has a value, A/B=n±Δ, that differs from a positive integer value, n, according to an absolute difference, Δ, not exceeding 0.01 and not less than 0.001.

A labeling system comprising at least one linerless label configured to receive printing thereon; a substrate for receiving the label and to which the label becomes permanently bound after the label has been attached to the substrate; at least two materials deposited on the substrate-contacting side of the linerless label prior to attaching the linerless label to the substrate, wherein the first material is either a repositionable adhesive, a remoistenable adhesive, or a non-adhesive material, and wherein the first material is deposited in a layer having a predetermined thickness, wherein the second material is either a remoistenable adhesive, a repositionable adhesive, or a pressure sensitive adhesive, and wherein the second material is deposited in a layer having a predetermined thickness, and wherein the predetermined thickness of the layer of the first material is either less than the predetermined thickness of the layer of the second material or greater than the predetermined thickness of the layer of the second material.

A label including a first strip including a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The first strip includes an opaque material. The first strip further includes a first area proximate the first end. The first area includes a first length along a longitudinal axis common to the first strip. The label also includes a second strip including a third end and a fourth end opposite the third end, wherein the second strip includes a transparent material. The second strip is laminated over the first strip such that the third end is disposed outside the first area. The fourth end extends beyond the second end a distance at least equal to the first length.
