A label for being applied, by being wrapped around, to an object to be identified, includes a non-adhesive top side including a printing region for receiving a print on the top side and an adhesive bottom side, by which the label is fastened to the object. The label is in the shape of a strip having a length that is greater than a periphery of the object to be labeled. A transparent wrapping tab is arranged adjacently to the printing region in a longitudinal direction of the label. A length of the wrapping tab is at least equal to the periphery of the object to be labeled. The wrapping tab is wrapped on the printing region and covers the printing region when the label has been applied to the object. An RFID transponder is arranged between the top side and the bottom side in the printing region.

A laminate material comprising a paper web and a polymeric film adhered to the paper web, the polymeric film comprising a biodegradable polymeric material that includes an organic additive.

A laminated core stock sheet for use in a composite laminate assembly that is separated into individual cards is provided. The sheet includes a core substrate layer and an intermediate filmic layer coupled to the core substrate layer. The intermediate filmic layer includes a conductive material that provides a security, decorative, or functional feature of the cards. The core substrate layer and the intermediate filmic layer are coupled with another laminated core stock sheet to form the composite laminate assembly. The conductive material has a small thickness within the intermediate filmic layer such that the intermediate filmic layer prevents conduction of electrostatic discharge (ESD) through the intermediate filmic layer and outside of the individual cards.

The present invention relates to a pressure sensitive label for use in a cold transfer process that can be used for garment identification and labeling. The pressure sensitive label can be applied on textile surface or any other surfaces for which heat transfer is unfavorable or unavailable. The pressure sensitive label can remain on the substrate to which it is attached through repeated washing and drying cycles.

It describes an ear tag for livestock including: a plastic substrate including means to apply the ear tag to an ear of an animal; an UHF inlay coupled to a flexible flat portion of the plastic substrate, the UHF inlay including a substrate, an antenna on the substrate and a microchip connected to the antenna. The ear tag includes a plastic film; a predetermined portion of the plastic film is laminated on the plastic substrate and forms a closed pocket; the UHF inlay is enclosed in the pocket and is at least in part movable independently from the plastic substrate and the plastic film in the pocket.

The present invention relates to a security document comprising at least an antenna and a chip connected to the antenna. The security document is characterised in that it further comprises at least one transparent window arranged such that at least a part of said antenna is visible in said window thereby forming a visible security feature.

Disclosed embodiments generally relate to a transaction card with a fabric inlay. The transaction card may include a housing component having a first housing surface opposite a second housing surface and an inlay component having a first inlay surface opposite a second inlay surface. The inlay and housing may be joined along the second inlay surface and the first housing surface. In addition, the first inlay surface may include a fabric material and a backer layer configured to support the fabric material of the first inlay surface.

A method of producing a multilayer element with a substrate and at least one conductor structure connected in an areal manner to the substrate, which has first regions of electrically conductive material present in accordance with a prescribed pattern, electrically non-conductive second regions lying between the first regions to produce RFID antennas or flexible printed circuit boards in a roller-to-roller process, the method including connecting a conductor foil to the substrate by a laterally structured layer of adhesive lying in between such that in first regions a partial bonding contact between the substrate and the conductor foil is created at a multiplicity of bonding zones, and in laterally extended second regions the conductor foil is not connected or is connected less firmly by adhesive to the substrate; structuring the conductor foil by cutting the conductor foil along boundaries of the first regions; and removing contiguous pieces of foil of the conductor foil from laterally extended second regions.

The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing an antenna for a radio frequency (RFID) tag. A web of material is provided to at least one cutting station in which a first pattern is generated in the web of material. A further cutting may occur to create additional modifications in order to provide a microchip attachment location and to selectively tune an antenna for a particular end use application. The cutting may be performed by a laser, die cutting, stamping or combinations thereof.
