Systems and methods for forming and applying decorations onto substrates are disclosed. According to some aspects, a decoration may be formed on a carrier web at a decoration forming station positioned along a web path. The decorations may be transported along the web path to an application station at which the decorations are applied to substrates from the carrier web.

Provided is a display device using an adhesion control layer, which has excellent scratch-resistance, easily discharges air bubbles, allows proper attachment and detachment, and is stably attached regardless of whether a surface is flat or curved. The device comprises: an adhesive member; an adherend member to which the adhesive member is attached; a detachable layer disposed on one of the adhesive member and the adherend member; and an adhesion control layer to which the detachable layer is detachably attached and which is disposed on one of the adhesive member and the adherend member. The adhesion control layer is disposed on one surface of one of the adhesive member and the adherend member and includes a flat layer covering the whole of the surface and a pattern layer disposed on the flat layer, and the flat layer and the pattern layer have different adhesive forces with respect to the detachable layer.

A print board capable of being printed on and then separated into one or more pieces. The print board includes a main layer, a printable layer secured to a first side of the main layer and a pressure sensitive layer secured to a second side of the main layer. The print board is kiss cut through the printable layer, the main layer and a releasable portion of the pressure sensitive layer to form the one or more pieces. A base layer of the pressure sensitive layer holds the one or more pieces together so that personalized projects may be printed thereon. The personalized projects are printed on the printable layer and then the base layer of the pressure sensitive layer is removed. After the base layer is removed the print board is broken into the one or more pieces.

Provided is a laminate and a hot melt-type adhesive label that suppress curling due to swelling while having a pulp-paper feel. The laminate includes a porous substrate layer and an adhesive resin receiving layer on one side of the porous substrate layer, and the adhesive resin receiving layer contains an amorphous resin.

A method for reducing the surface oil absorption of cellulose based substrate is provided, in which a coating composition is applied to said substrate; and in which the coating composition comprises carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and/or a salt of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). A coated paperboard, and a laminate of the coated paperboard with a polymer layer is also provided. The coating composition provides improved surface oil absorption and improved adherence of an overlying polymer layer.

A battery packaging material that is excellent in electrolytic solution resistance and ink printing characteristics of the surface. A battery packaging material comprising a laminate having at least a protective layer, a base material layer, a barrier layer, and a heat-sealable resin layer in this order, wherein a maximum value A of absorbance detected in an infrared wavenumber range of 2800 to 3000 cm.sup.−1 and a maximum value B of absorbance detected in an infrared wavenumber range of 2200 to 2300 cm.sup.−1 satisfy the relation: 0.05≤B/A≤0.75, as measured from an outermost surface of the protective layer, using attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.

The present invention is a liquid-repellent film or sheet that exhibits an excellent liquid repellency, and a packaging material using the same. The liquid-repellent film or sheet comprises: a substrate layer (2); an adhesive layer (3) that comprises a thermoplastic resin, and is formed on at least one plane of the substrate layer (2); and a liquid-repellent layer (4) that comprises a resin (6) having a liquid-repellent moiety, and hydrophilic particles (5), and is formed on the surface of the adhesive layer (3).

The invention relates to a film comprising an optionally multilayer carrier layer; wherein one surface side of the carrier layer has been modified over part of its area either by surface activation or by printing with a print medium, such that the surface side has modified regions and unmodified regions; wherein the modified regions and the unmodified regions are coated over part or all of the area by a release material; and wherein the strength of adhesion of the release material to the carrier layer in the modified regions is different compared to the adhesion of the release material to the carrier layer in the unmodified regions.

a film composite for manufacturing a package for planar carriers of pharmaceutical active substances, for example transdermal patches, encompassing, in a direction from the outer side of the film composite toward its inner side: a metal layer; an acrylic-acid-containing joining layer; a polyethylene layer; and a COC layer made of cycloolefin copolymer, a side of the COC layer which faces away from the metal layer being an exposed surface of the film composite, wherein provision is made that the polyethylene layer encompasses metallocene polyethylene.

The presently disclosed subject matter is generally directed to a packaging film constructed from water-dispersible and/or biodegradable compositions. Particularly, the disclosed film comprises a first layer constructed from one or more water-dispersible materials, such as water-dispersible paper. The film further comprises a second layer constructed from one or more biodegradable materials, such as poly(hydroxyalkanoate). The first and second layers can be constructed to form a packaging material used to enclose a wide variety of products, including liquids and moisture-sensitive solids. Advantageously, the disclosed film (and associated packaging materials) are dissolvable in water and/or biodegrade when exposed to landfill conditions and/or water.
