A method of manufacturing an extended content booklet label. Sheets are parallel folded to form a spine of a multi-up book log. The book log is overlaminated with an overlaminate to a major web having a longitudinal direction so that the spine is oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the web. The major web is continuously moved passed three or more longitudinally aligned cutting elements. Each cutting element cuts deeper than the previous cutting element for progressively slitting the major label web and overlaminated multi-up book log in the longitudinal direction only to form two or more minor webs.

A system and method for joining a plurality of paper material together with ultrasonic welding to form a hang tab for displaying products, such as, e.g., in a retail environment, without the use of an adhesive, such as, e.g., glue, and/or printing dye or ink. The paper hang tab may replace plastic hooks or tabs, which may be more environmentally beneficial. Two or more pieces of paper may be inserted into a gap between a sonotrode and an anvil of an ultrasonic joining device. A joining force from an actuator may be applied to secure the pieces of paper, and the sonotrode may oscillate a high-frequency. Adequate compaction of the pieces of paper is produced in addition to a high development of heat from friction generated in the micro-region of the thermoplastic coating. Melting of thermoplastic coating then forms a physical connection between the pieces of paper, effectively fusing them together.

A label manufacturing method includes: a cladding material manufacturing step, including: manufacturing adhesive, a release film including a base material and a surface material, and a transparent film into a cladding material, wherein a first side of the cladding material includes the base material of the release film, the transparent film, and the surface material of the release film, and a second side of the cladding material includes the adhesive and the surface material of the release film, and the first side and the second side are two sides of the cladding material which are side by side; and, a label die cutting step, including die cutting the transparent film and the base material of the release film at the first side of the cladding material into a first label unit, and die cutting the adhesive at the second side of the cladding material into a second label unit.
