Embodiments, apparatuses, and systems associated with providing a two color etchable label for a drinking vessel. In some cases, the label may be formed from two or more layers, each layer having a different color. In some cases, the length of the label may have a first portion and a second portion. The thickness of the label may comprise substantially equal portions of the first layer and the second layer at the first portion and the thickness of the label may be predominately formed from one of the layers at the second portion.

The invention relates to an electromagnetic radiation blocking label arrangement and to a labelled item comprising said label arrangement. According to an embodiment the label arrangement comprises at least one label component including a shrinkable film and at least one metal deposition layer on a surface of the shrinkable film. The shrinkable film is uniaxially stretched so as to form shrinking capability for the film when exposed to an external energy.

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.

A method for manufacturing a label with a suspension handle includes i) providing a first layered material including a support layer and a first front layer joined in a releasable manner; ii) covering a front surface of the first front layer with a detachment promoter layer, leaving a free zone where the promoter layer is absent; iii) providing a second layered material including a second front layer transparent to light and an adhesive layer iv) joining the products of steps ii) and iii) in a coupled material and v) separating a suspension handle in the handle area, at least one secondary label of the label in a different area, and forming a label surround in the first front layer. At the secondary label, the label includes an opaque contrast layer superposed on the second front layer eliminate transparency, a second graphic layer superposed on the contrast layer, and a protective layer.

The present invention regards a device for recognizing the authenticity of a packaged product to be sold, arranged in a container provided with a passage through which the product may be extracted for the utilization or consumption thereof, comprising a seal (16) whose breakage is performed so as to allow the opening of said passage. The device comprises an element (19) for the authentication of the product positioned on a portion of the seal not visible from the external thereof and solely accessible following the breakage of the seal. Preferably said element (19) for authenticating the product consists of a unique code generated through algorithms, the container of the product is a bottle and the relative seal is the capsule (16) for covering the neck of the bottle and the relative cap.

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 kit for labelling an object with a target label comprises an instrument having an end(s) for manipulating labels. Transfer label(s) adhered to the end of the instrument, the transfer label having a facestock having adhesive on at least one of its surfaces, an adhesion force A between a first surface of the facestock of the transfer label and the instrument being greater than an adhesion force B between a second surface of the transfer label and a target label. The instrument and transfer label are used to manually transfer the target label from a target label liner to an object by releasable adherence of the target label to the second surface of the transfer label. A method for labelling an object is also provided.

A security label for a multi-part container includes a first section for attachment to a first container part and a second section adapted to a second container part with respect to a state of the label in that it is applied to the container, so that the label is closed in on itself along an edge line at a free end of the second section facing away from the first section. The two sections form a respective mutually adjacent part of a common material web. The label further includes a severing element between the first and second sections relative to a label longitudinal axis, so that, when the container applied with the label is opened, the label can be cut in a predetermined manner by the severing element and the second section can be removed together with the second container part from the first section and the first container part.

A seal for a bottle or container that provides a purchase that eases the removal of the seal. In certain embodiments, a first section of the seal is sized to generally match the shape of the top of the bottle or container and a second section of the seal is attached to the first section to provide a purchase for removing the seal. In certain embodiments, additional sections may be attached to the second section.
