An RFID tag manufacturing system is provided that includes a conveyance device that conveys a base sheet provided with a plurality of antenna patterns to each of which an RFIC module is fixed. The system includes a laminating device that attaches a cover seal on the base sheet to cover the antenna patterns and a punching device that produces RFID tags by punching the cover seal and the base sheet with a punching blade that includes a frame-shaped cutting edge surrounding the antenna patterns to form a frame-shaped cut. The base sheet includes alignment mark in a non-attachment part of the cover seal. The punching device specifies the position of each of the antenna patterns covered with the cover seal based on the alignment mark, and punches the cover seal and the base sheet based on the specified position of the antenna pattern.

A method for producing labels of different label variants includes: performing first and second printing operations to form on a source material web using a digital printing device first and second digital prints associated with first and second label variants, respectively, the two digital prints differing at least with respect to a respective print image; forming on the source material web a machine-readable indicating element detectably different from the first and second label variants and arranged to indicate a change of label variant type; and die cutting to form a material web and processing the web, including controlling and making up the first label variant, detecting the indicating element using a controller, cutting the web in the transition between the label variants and controlling and making up the second label variant so that separate first and second label webs are formed with the first and second label variants, respectively.

The invention concerns a linerless self-adhesive material obtained starting from a self-adhesive material with a liner, by means of a process that comprises the delamination of the liner from a self-adhesive layer, activation of the liner or self- adhesive layer, transferral of the liner over the self-adhesive layer and re-lamination of the two components so as to produce the linerless self-adhesive material. The liner or the self-adhesive layer is coated with a thermo-adhesive that allows for permanent lamination of the liner located on the self-adhesive layer.

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.

The invention relates to a method for providing a coating lay for a label web (100), the method comprising arranging a substrate, applying a metered coating (121) in a contactless manner onto a surface of a coating roll (510), and transferring the coating (121) from the coating roll (510) onto the substrate (140) in a nip (515) thereby forming a coating layer onto the substrate, wherein, in the nip (515), the surface of the coating roll (510) is running in an opposite direction to a movement of the substrate (140), thereby obtaining the coating layer for a label web. The invention further relates to a system for providing a coating lay for a label web (100). The invention further relates to method for manufacturing a label web.

A label production method includes a label peeling portion forming step of attaching an active energy ray curable composition to a base material and curing the active energy ray curable composition to form a label peeling portion, in which the label peeling portion is formed 10 ?m or more higher than surroundings in the label peeling portion forming step.

The invention relates to the label production industry, more specifically to the production of labels with increased performance for improving and amplifying the function of a label. Even more specifically, the invention relates to a system that allows the handling of said label. Said smart label system is characterised in that it is formed by a smart label comprising a) a transparent or translucent film with a print on one of the faces thereof; a film of varnish on said print or on the opposite face, depending on whether the print is on the inside or on the outside, and on said varnish, there is another, different print in a special ink that becomes visible in the event of an attempt to remove the label from the item to which it is stuck, and on this print there is a layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive; b) a chip with an antenna between the varnish and the adhesive; c) an electronic mobile device for communicating with the chip; and ch) an algorithm on the chip and on the electronic mobile device for unique encoded reading (padlock) encryption.

A printer includes a frame including a discharge port, a fixed blade fixed to the frame, a movable blade attached to the frame so that the movable blade is opposite to the fixed blade across the discharge port, a driving mechanism that reciprocally moves the movable blade between a cutting position and a non-cutting position, a motor for the driving mechanism, a sensor configured to detect that the movable blade has reciprocated once between the cutting and non-cutting positions, and a control unit configured to control the motor to drive the driving mechanism at the time of cutting the label, measure a time taken by the movable blade to reciprocate once between the non-cutting and cutting positions, compare the measured time with a threshold value, and determine that a cleaning timing has been reached if the measured time exceeds the threshold value.
