The invention relates to a wash-off label structure and an adhesive layer comprising a pressure sensitive hot melt adhesive layer sensitive to the washing conditions. According to an embodiment the adhesive layer comprises an acrylate composition curable with ultraviolet radiation and at least one modifier selected from a tackifier, a plasticizer and a filler, and wherein the peel adhesion from the labelled surface at 50-80° C. in alkaline aqueous solution of at least 30% less than the peel adhesion at room temperature of 23° C.±2° C. and relative humidity of 50%±5%. The invention further relates to a use of the label for recyclable or reusable packages, and a combination of a package and a wash-off label.

The invention relates to a facestock for adhesive label, an adhesive label and an adhesive label laminate comprising an uniaxially in machine direction oriented facestock. According to an embodiment core layer comprises the following components: propylene homopolymer; a modifier consisting of at least one of the following: olefin elastomer, olefin plastomer and olefin block copolymer; and low density polyethylene. Further the invention relates to a use of the adhesive label for labelling of an article.

A form having one or more blank detachable wristbands may include a printable face ply capable of accepting printed indicia and a liner ply where the face ply is die cut to form one or more blank detachable wristbands having first and second ends. The printable face ply may be sufficiently soft at hand to remain attached for several days without causing chaffing. The face ply may be adhered to the liner ply by a pressure sensitive adhesive on at least a portion a bottom surface. The pressure sensitive adhesive may be on the face ply around a periphery of one or more wristbands. Means to secure the wristband to the wrist of a patient may be located adjacent the first and second ends of the wristband and each of said first and second ends of each of the wristbands may include tamper evident indicia.

A label assembly including one or more dissolvable thermal direct adhesive labels and methods of assembly and use. According to one embodiment, each label includes a base layer, a thermal direct layer, an adhesive layer, and a barrier layer. The base layer, which has an upper surface and a lower surface, is water-dissolvable and may be made of a water-dissolvable paper. The thermal direct layer is positioned directly over the upper surface of the base layer and functions in the conventional manner to produce markings therein in response to heat. The adhesive layer is water-dissolvable and is positioned below the lower surface of the base layer. The barrier layer, which is positioned directly below the lower surface of the base layer and directly over the adhesive layer, serves to prevent migration of the adhesive layer through the base layer and into contact with the thermal direct layer.

A plant label has a substrate and a permanent adhesive layer on a release liner. An identifier portion of the substrate and a tag portion of the substrate are defined by a detach line that enables the tag portion to be detached from the identifier portion. The tag portion has an adhesive deadener on the permanent adhesive layer, a strip of the permanent adhesive layer of the detachable portion free of adhesive deadener, and a tab having only adhesive deadener on the permanent adhesive layer that enables the tag portion to be detached from the identifier portion and from a container to which the label is affixed.

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.

This invention relates to a method for manufacturing a continuous linerless label web (100). The continuous linerless label web (100) comprises a face (110) having a first side (111) and a second side (112) and a positionally alternating adhesive coating on the second side (112), wherein the method comprises: supplying the face (110) with a release coating arranged on the first side (111), providing positionally alternating continuous adhesive stripes (121) on the second side (112) of the web (100), wherein predetermined properties of the positionally alternating continuous adhesive stripes (121) are selected so that number of stripes in each single customer roll (300) is one or more, width of each stripe is smaller than width of single customer roll (300), and positional frequency is selected so that one oscillation cycle covers 0.1-10 peripherical lengths in a machine roll (570), and 1-100 peripherical lengths in a customer roll (300) defined as peripheries of full rolls. This invention further relates to a linerless label web and a linerless customer roll.

A printable 2-PLY security tape includes a first tape PLY label stock. A first substrate has a printable outer surface as a first outer PLY surface. A first inner PLY surface includes at least one first release area disposed on an inside surface of the first substrate, and at least one first adhesive area is disposed on the inside surface of the first substrate. A second tape PLY security tape includes a second substrate outer surface as a second outer PLY surface. A second inner PLY surface includes at least one second release area disposed on an inner surface of the second substrate, and at least one second adhesive area disposed on the inner surface of the second substrate. The second adhesive area is in contact with the first release area and the first adhesive area in a contact with the second release area, to form a 2-PLY composite tape.

Paper is disclosed for use in making repositionable or removable adhesive labels. The adhesive can be applied in patches or discrete areas to the paper or to a layer of material that cleans rollers in the manufacturing line and/or in printers. The adhesive can be applied in single or multiple layers. The paper is light weight paper and preferably thermal paper for use in POS printers.

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.
