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.

An adhesive label is provided. The adhesive label includes an adhesive patch that covers at least 50% but less than 85% of a backside surface of the adhesive label and that is at least partially horizontally and vertically centered on the backside surface.

A product label wristband includes a first adhesive covered by and in contact with a material and a second adhesive on the covering material on a side opposite that in contact with the first adhesive and a third adhesive that anchors the product label wristband to a product package or container. In another embodiment, the anchor adhesive is not required. The product label wrist band is peeled from the product package or container to form a wristband used to provide authorization for access to an event.

A medium includes a base layer and a separation layer. Regions defined along a first direction include: a first region in which a portion of the medium which is in contact with the separation layer is stickable; a second region in which a portion of the medium which is in contact with the separation layer is non-stickable; a third region in which a printing background layer is provided and in which a portion of the medium which is in contact with the separation layer is non-stickable; and a fourth region in which a portion of the medium which is in contact with the separation layer is at least partly stickable. A length of the second region is less than that of the fourth region and greater than or equal to that of the first region in the first direction in at least one position in a second direction.

A medium includes a base layer and a separation layer stacked on each other. Regions are defined along a first direction. The regions include: a first region in which a portion of the medium which is in contact with the separation layer is stickable; a second region in which a portion of the medium which is in contact with the separation layer is non-stickable; and a third region in which a portion of the medium which is in contact with the separation layer is at least partly stickable. Four first vertexes of a first imaginary trapezoid shape which are located on an outer shape of the first region and four second vertexes of a second imaginary trapezoid shape which are located on an outer shape of the third region are symmetric with respect to an axis parallel with a second direction.

A medium includes a base layer and a separation layer. Regions are defined along a first direction. The regions include: a first region in which a portion of the medium which is in contact with the separation layer includes opposite end portions in a second direction, and at least the opposite end portions are stickable; a second region in which a portion of the medium which is in contact with the separation layer is non-stickable; and a third region in which a portion of the medium which is in contact with the separation layer is stickable. A longest length of the first region in the second direction is less than a length of the second region or the third region in the second direction at a particular position in the first direction.

A medium includes a base layer and a separation layer. Regions defined along a first direction include: a first region in which a portion of the medium which is in contact with the separation layer is stickable; a second region in which a portion of the medium which is in contact with the separation layer is non-stickable; and a third region in which a portion of the medium which is in contact with the separation layer is at least partly stickable. A first mark is provided on a portion of the medium in the first region. A second mark is provided on a portion of the medium in the third region at a position aligned with the first mark in the first direction.

An adhesive label is provided. The adhesive label includes an adhesive patch that covers at least 50% but less than 85% of a backside surface of the adhesive label and that is at least partially horizontally and vertically centered on the backside surface.
