A standard deviation of the length in the extending direction is larger than a standard deviation of the length in the width direction. The display elements include a first display element and a second display element. The extending directions of the first display element and the second display element are different from each other.

A label sticker is provided and includes: a base layer; a release layer coated on an upper surface of the base layer; a first surface material layer having a lower surface coated with a first glue layer and coated on or adhered to the release layer through the first glue layer; and a second surface material layer having a lower surface coated with a second glue layer and adhered to an upper surface of the first surface material layer through the second glue layer. The area of the second surface material layer is greater than the area of the first surface material layer. The label sticker. Therefore, glue residues left behind by a process of making the label sticker do not interfere with use thereof.

A decrease in the adhesiveness of an in-mold label can be suppressed even when a silicone transferred from the protective layer side to the heat-sealable resin layer side. An in-mold label includes a substrate layer, a printed layer provided on one surface of the substrate layer, and a heat-sealable resin layer provided on the other surface of the substrate layer, a protective layer containing a silicone is provided on an outermost surface on one surface side of the substrate layer on which the printed layer is provided, and an adhesive strength decrease-inhibiting layer containing a (meth)acrylic acid based copolymer having a polar group is provided on an outermost surface on the other surface side of the substrate layer on which the heat-sealable resin layer is provided.

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.

A linerless label media includes a substrate having a first side, a second side and a longitudinal axis. The first side of the substrate has a release coat. The second side of the substrate has at least one area of a first adhesive having a first thickness, and at least one different area of a second adhesive having a greater thickness than the first thickness of the area of the first adhesive. The greater thickness of the second adhesive reduces a contact between the first adhesive and the release coat when the linerless label media includes a linerless label roll configured for use in a printer. A linerless label roll is also described.

Sealing film for application to a base surface includes a carrier film and functional layers that include at least two color display layers and at least two adhesion-controlling layers. The sealing film has an adhesive layer for attachment to the base surface. The functional layers are arranged between the carrier film and the adhesive layer. The carrier film is detachable, at least partially, from the functional layers. In a second state at least one symbol is optically visible but not visible in a first state. The at least two adhesion-controlling layers separate defined regions from the at least two color display layers during carrier film detachment. The functional layers include at least one further adhesion-controlling layer, to make at least one layer behind the further adhesion-controlling layer, viewed from the carrier film toward the adhesive layer, visible in the second state, at least in certain sections, via the detachment.

The present invention relates to a peel detection label that is a laminate having a backing, a pattern layer formed on a part of a surface of the backing, and a pressure sensitive adhesive laminate in this order, the pressure sensitive adhesive laminate having at least an intermediate layer and a pressure sensitive adhesive layer, wherein a tensile modulus Et at 23° C. of the backing is 50 MPa or greater and 1000 MPa or less.

Techniques regarding a reclosure label are provided. For example, one or more embodiments described herein can comprise a reclosure label that includes a flap portion connected to a label base. Further, the flap portion can comprise a rigid material layer. Additionally, the reclosure label can comprise a flexible material layer that is integral with the flap portion and the label base and forms a hinge portion that enables the flap portion to pivot with respect to the label base. Moreover, the rigid material layer can be absent from the hinge portion.

A hybrid heat transfer label assembly and method for producing the label assembly are provided. The label assembly includes a carrier layer, a non-digitally printed protective layer disposed above the carrier layer, a digitally printed layer disposed above the non-digitally printed protective layer, and a non-digitally printed layer disposed above the digitally printed layer. The non-digitally printed protective layer, the digitally printed layer, and the non-digitally printed layer form a label that is configured to separate from the carrier layer and adhere to an article upon application of heat to the carrier layer.
