The invention relates to an activatable adhesive label comprising a flexible web-shaped viewing material. At least one adhesive layer made of a moisture-activatable adhesive that is not adhesive in the dry state is applied onto one side of the flexible viewing material, wherein at least one central layer is provided which is designed to be adhesive and which is arranged between the viewing material and the adhesive layer.

A patient-identification wristband. The wristband comprises a strap. A terminal portion of the wristband has an upper section and a lower lamination section. The upper section comprises a printable ink defining a print area, a first slot inboard the print area and between the print area and the strap, a second slot outboard the print area, and a third slot outboard the second slot. The lower lamination section has a fourth slot below the second slot and a fifth slot outboard the fourth slot. A size of the fourth slot is bigger than a size of the first slot. A length of the upper section is greater than a length of the lower lamination section such that when the lower lamination section is folded over for lamination, the lower lamination section covers only a first part of the print area and leaves a second part of the print area exposed.

An adhesive-backed label having a plurality of adhesive-backed label portions, each of the adhesive-backed label portions comprising an instance of an identifying indicia, whereby one or more of the plurality of adhesive-backed label portions is applied to at least one collected sample so that the identifying indicia on the adhesive-backed label portion on the collected sample corresponds to the identifying indicia on at least one of the adhesive-backed label portions that remains on the adhesive-backed label, at least one of the adhesive-backed label portions on the adhesive-backed label also comprising a field configured to receive additional identifying indicia.

An adhesive label includes: a printable front side which is non-opaque to IR radiation; an adhesive layer for sticking the label to an application medium, the adhesive force of the front side being less than the gripping force of the adhesive layer; and a compound exhibiting a certain behaviour when illuminated by the IR radiation through the front side, the electromagnetic response of the compound during the illumination by the IR radiation being detectable through the front side.

Various tags and adhesive labels are described which can be used in high temperature environments such as up to 1,000° C. The tags and labels include a substrate having one or more high temperature printable coatings. The labels can also include pressure sensitive adhesives and optional release liners.

A receipt and label roll comprises a core and a web having a longitudinally-extending axis and wound on the core along the axis. The web includes (i) a substrate having a front side and a back side opposite the front side, (ii) a thermally-sensitive coating disposed on the front side of the substrate, (iii) adhesive disposed on a portion of the back side of the substrate along the web axis, and (iv) a release coating disposed on the front side of the substrate along the web axis to prevent the adhesive from sticking to the front side of the substrate when the web is wound on the core. The web further includes (v) a longitudinal weakened structure extending along a direction parallel to the web axis and dividing the web into a first web portion on which the adhesive is disposed and a second web portion which is substantially devoid of adhesive.
