An adhesive label and an adhesive label laminate includes a uniaxially in machine direction oriented multilayer facestock comprising a printable skin layer comprising more than 50 wt. % of linear low density polyethylene(s) and less than 50 wt. % of propylene polymer(s), and an adhesive receiving skin layer comprising at least 50 wt. % of propylene homopolymer(s) and at least one of the following modifiers: hydrocarbon resin, styrene block copolymer, and olefin block copolymer. Further use of an adhesive label for labelling of an article and a labelled article are also disclosed.

A peeling apparatus according to an embodiment includes: a conveyance roller configured to convey a laminate made by peelably laminating a first substrate and a second substrate including an opening; a peel roller arranged facing the conveyance roller with the laminate interposed in between, and configured to peel the second substrate from the first substrate; a winding roller arranged away from the peel roller, and configured to wind the second substrate peeled from the first substrate; and an auxiliary winding roller arranged between the peel roller and the winding roller, and including a stepped portion configured to maintain a width of the opening.

A liner in a label-liner combination is provided with a die cut portion made in the liner. The die cut portion is aligned with at least one edge in a label and a front side of the liner is attached to a backside of the label. The die cut portion of the liner is adapted to be removed from the liner when the label is removed from the label-liner combination. Dimensions, and orientation, and a location of the die cut portion in the liner are adapted to allow the label to be removed from the label-liner combination and applied to a surface by digits of a hand without touching an adhesive coating on the backside of the label and adapted to maintain proper printer waste liner spool operations when the liner is wound after application of the label.

self-adhesive linerless label for labelling containers, preferably made of PET, the label being particularly adapted to be removed from the container during recycling operations. The label derives from a linerless self-adhesive material that includes a liner made of plastic material having a density greater than 0.8 g/cm.sup.3, preferably between 0.9 g/cm.sup.3 and 1.5 g/cm.sup.3, more preferably between 1 and 1.4 g/cm.sup.3 at 25 C. The material is preferably PET or PP, The linerless self-adhesive material also includes a self-adhesive film having a polymeric material with a density of less than 0.9 g/cm.sup.3 at 25 C., preferably between 0.6 g/cm.sup.3 and 0.9 g/cm.sup.3, more preferably between 0.7 and 0.8 g/cm.sup.3 at 25 C. The liner and the self-adhesive material are in permanent contact by a thermo-adhesive.

A label is constructed from a roll-fed label web. The label web includes a base ply that is selectively joined to a top ply by way of a bonding agent in selected locations between the plies. Cuts are provided through the top ply and the base ply where the bonding agent resides between the plies and in separate locations laterally along the plies such that a cut through the top ply does not align with a cut in the base ply. Sequential cuts are then provided at point of application, together through both the top ply and the base ply and the bonding agent. The sequential cuts are located where the bonding agent resides between the plies and in separate locations laterally along the plies such that the sequential cuts do not align with cuts in the top ply or with cuts in the base ply. Portions of the top ply and portions of the base ply are each defined by respective cuts in the top ply and base ply, and remain adhered to an overall structure of the roll-fed label web. The label produced from the roll-fed label web at point of application may be manipulated to achieve a desired effect.

A combination printer and cutting device for printing upon and cutting a web of media or tag stock into individual units. The device may cut vinyl, plastic, or RFID stock material as it moves through the printer in both back and forth directions. The device comprises a printer and a cutting apparatus that is further comprised of a carriage assembly and a movable cutter assembly. The cutter assembly is easily interchangeable and comprises a cutting element such as a wheel blade, and a pressure adjusting element for adjusting the amount of pressure applied by the cutting element to the stock material. Alternatively, the cutter assembly may be manufactured with a predetermined pressure load, but still permit an operator to adjust the depth of cut. The cutting apparatus is adaptable for use with both new and existing printers.

Methods, kits and structures are disclosed for providing a desired protective and/or visual effect to natural or artificial nails. One method comprises applying a base coat to at least part of an outer surface of the nail substrate; providing a flexible support having disposed, on a surface thereof, a monolayer of metallic-looking particles of at least one metallic-looking pigment; and transferring the monolayer from the flexible support to an outer surface of the applied base coat, so as to form a coat of metallic looking particles on the nail substrate.

Baggage identification tags and methods of making and using the same are disclosed. An example method includes providing first and second lines of weakness extending only through the liner. A first portion of the liner between the first line of weakness and the first end forms a first liner backing of a claim check, a second portion of the liner is formed between the first line of weakness and the second line of weakness, a third portion of the liner between the second line of weakness and the second end forms a second liner backing of a baggage identification tag. The method includes providing instructions to remove the first portion of the liner by peeling the first portion of the liner from the first line of weakness in a first direction toward the first end and enabling the second portion of the liner to separate from the liner.

A label web and method utilize a substrate, first and second longitudinally spaced label arrays each including two or more double-sided adhesive labels removably attached to the substrate, and a peelable protective covering web extending generally coextensive with the substrate. The label arrays and the peelable protective web are configured such that the peelable protective web is selectively removable to expose the first label array while remaining removably attached to the second label array, with both the first and second label arrays remaining removably attached to the substrate, to thereby facilitate removal of all labels in the first label array as a group while the peelable protective covering web remains in place over the second label array.

Embodiments of the present application disclose a battery to reduce the volume of the battery, improve the energy density of the battery, and further improve the bottom molding effect of the battery, as well as the safety performance and service life of the battery. The battery comprises an electrode assembly and a package film for packaging the electrode assembly, the package film including a folding portion, the folding portion including a first segment attached to the end face of the electrode assembly and a second segment connected to the first segment. The first segment is arranged between the second segment and the electrode assembly, and the second segment includes a multilayer package films.
