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 including a base material with at least one adhesive region and a cover material, a label tape and a method for manufacturing labels are disclosed. The method includes providing a base material web and applying at least one adhesive to the base material web along at least one row by means of at least one applicator. The adhesive is applied to the base material web intermittently along the row so that the row comprises a plurality of individual adhesive regions spaced apart from one another by adhesive-free regions. The method also includes applying a cover material to at least some regions of the base material web so that a plurality of the applied adhesive regions are completely covered by the cover material, and at least partially separating the base material web and/or the cover material exclusively along adhesive-free regions by means of at least one separating device.

A stand-alone apparatus for cutting a web of media or tag stock into individual units for use downstream of a printer. The apparatus may cut vinyl, plastic, or RFID stock material in both back and forth directions. The apparatus comprises a housing, 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 apparatus may be powered by and or in hardline or wireless communication with a printer, or may further comprise a computer microprocessor, memory and user interface to function wholly independent from a printer.

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.

The present method relates to a manufacturing process of container labels with heat transfer technology, wherein alphanumeric codes are sequentially applied over, between and/or under the layers of specific inks and varnishes which protect said area of eventual friction and wear to which they are subject during transportation, handling and productive tests.

A display device includes a plurality of pixels each having a plurality of light-emitting regions including at least a first light-emitting region of a first color, a second light-emitting region of a second color, and a third light-emitting region of a third color and a light-transmitting region. Visibility of the first color is higher than visibility of the second color. The plurality of light-emitting regions are divided into a first group including the first light-emitting region and a second group including the second light-emitting region. The first light-emitting region is adjacent to the second light-emitting region. The light-transmitting region is located between the first light-emitting region and the second light-emitting region. The light-transmitting region is not located in a region between light-emitting regions adjacent to each other in the first group and in a region between light-emitting regions adjacent to each other in the second group.

An apparatus for processing a flexible material (14) comprises: a first roller (5) extending along a main axis (A1); a second roller (6) extending along a longitudinal axis (A2), the first roller (5) and the second roller (6) being mutually co-operating to carry out an operation on the flexible material (14), an interspace (37) being defined between the first roller (5) and the second roller (6) though which the flexible material (14) can pass; a pressing device for pushing the first roller (5) and the second roller (6) one towards another; a position adjustment device for adjusting the relative position of the first roller (5) and the second roller (6), the position adjustment device being distinct from the pressing device.

The present invention provides an easily peelable laminate label including a base layer A, a brittle layer B, a visually recognizable layer C, an inhibition layer D, and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer E; the brittle layer B, the visually recognizable layer C, and the inhibition layer D being laminated in this order between the base layer A and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer E; the brittle layer B and the visually recognizable layer C being in contact with each other, the visually recognizable layer C and the inhibition layer D being in contact with each other, the inhibition layer D being disposed in a discontinuous pattern; and a form of failure when the easily peelable laminate label is subjected to 180 peeling being delamination and/or adhesive failure at an interface between the inhibition layer D and the layer in contact with the inhibition layer D.

There is provided a label preparing device including: a laser cutting section that forms a cutting line, which is an outline of a label piece, on a media by irradiating the media with laser beams; and a print section that applies ink to at least a peripheral part of the label piece after the cutting line is formed. It is preferable that the laser cutting section irradiates the media in an immobile state with laser beams, and the print section applies ink to the media in which the immobile state is maintained.
