Definitions

• the object of the present invention is a non-adhesive label with superimposed sheets suitable for containing information relating to a product, suitable for being stuck on a support, for example a bottle or other container.
• the first layer is peeled off the silicone layer and stuck to the support.
• Non-adhesive labels comprise only one layer of paper having a front surface, which shows the information, and a back surface.
• the label is spread with glue on the back surface of the paper layer and then placed on the support and stuck thereon.
• Non-adhesive labels are widely used especially in fields characterised by large production volumes.
• the object of the present invention is to provide a non-adhesive label.
• An adhesive label with superimposed sheets comprises:
• the second layer When stuck on the support, selected by the user, the second layer may be removed, thus enabling access to the information printed on the back of the second layer and on the front of the first layer.
• the object of the present invention is to provide a non-adhesive label with superimposed sheets.
• . - figure 1 shows a front view of a label according to an embodiment variation of the present invention, in a closed configuration
• FIG. 1 shows a back view of the label of figure 1, in a closed configuration
• figure 3 shows a front view of the label of figure 1, in an open configuration
• FIG. 4 shows a back view of the label of figure 1, in an open configuration
• FIG. 5 and 6 show embodiment variations of a continuous tape obtained by the union of labels made according to the present invention.
• reference numeral 1 globally denotes a label according to the present invention.
• Label 1 is suitable for being associated to a support, for example a bottle or other container or packing of a product.
• Label 1 comprises a substratum 2, for example made of paper, having a back surface 4, intended for being stuck, at least partly, on the support, and a front surface 6.
• substratum 2 comprises an anti-adhesive layer, spread on the front surface 6, so as to cover it at least partly.
• said anti-adhesive layer is made of a silicone-based material.
• label 1 comprises at least one peel off layer 10 having an inner surface 12 and an outer surface 14.
• the inner surface 12 is stuck in a peel off manner to the front surface 6 of substratum 2.
• the peel off layer 10 adheres to substratum 6.
• the peel off layer 10 in the closed configuration of the label, the peel off layer 10 fully covers substratum 2.
• the peel off layer adheres to the substratum and fully covers it, imparting such an appearance to the label as if it were a single sheet.
• the peel off layer 10 comprises an adhesive layer, spread on the inner surface 12, covering it at least partly.
• the adhesive layer is made of a non-permanent or permanent glue, suitable for sticking the peel off layer 10 to substratum 2 in a peel off manner.
• the outer surface 14 of the peel off layer 10 contains printed information; preferably, also the inner surface 12 contains printed information; preferably, moreover, also the front surface 6 of substratum 2 contains printed information; preferably, moreover, also the back surface 4 of substratum 2 contains printed information.
• the peel off layer 10 comprises a portion 18 permanently stuck on said substratum 2.
• the peel off layer 10 is permanently stuck on the substratum along a side of the rectangular shape, for example so that the label may be opened by unsticking the peel off layer from the opposite side and turning it like the page of a book (figure 1 and 3).
• the label according to the present invention is of the non-adhesive type.
• said labels are generally piled up or sorted in cartons and individually fed by suitable gluing apparatus to the support.
• the gluing apparatus feeds glue to the label; the glue is spread on the back surface of the label and the label is stuck on the support.
• the label according to the present invention is particularly effective in facilitating the functionality of the gluing apparatus, ensuring excellent planarity of the pile of piled up labels.
• the label according to the present invention is with superimposed sheets.
• the label according to the present invention allows using the technology for gluing non-adhesive labels also for labels with superimposed sheets, making the affixing of such labels economically advantageous even for products characterised by large production volumes.
• the anti-adhesive layer is spread on the inner surface of the peel off layer whereas the adhesive layer is spread on the front surface of the substratum.
• the peel off layer is fully separable from the substratum, for example through a tear off line, for example dotted, which allows separating the peel off layer from the substratum, or due to the fact of not permanently sticking the peel off layer to the substratum.
• the peel off layer can be used in that case, for example, as identification mark for the performance of prize contests.
• the peel off layer can be made in a plurality of peel off portions that, once stuck on the support, cover it in full.
• the peel off layer can be made in two halves, that is, consisting of two peel off portions. Said portions can be opened like the shutters of a window.
• the substratum consists of a film of synthetic material, for example polypropylene, polyester or polyvinylchloride.
• a plurality of labels made according to the above description make up a continuous tape 100, being attached to each other along one side (figure 5).
• said labels are attached so that, a direction V along the tape being defined, a subsequent label 1a is attached to a preceding label 1b by the side having the glued portion 18, that is, so that the preceding label is attached to the subsequent one by the side having the glued portion 18.
• substrata 2 of the labels make up a continuous substratum tape, as they are attached along a side (for example, the short side of a rectangular label); similarly, the peel off layers 10 make up a continuous peel off tape, attached to the substratum tape according to the methods described above.
• the tape is cut, for example by a blade cutter, making labels of constant length.
• the labels are arranged along the continuous tape so as to be attached directly to each other, that is, so that sided labels have one side in common (figure 5), that is, so that there is a gap (figure 6) thereinbetween where the cut is made.
• the continuous tape 100 exhibits peel off portions 10a having a peripheral profile not matching the peripheral profile of the underlying substratum (figure 6) .
• the peel off portion is completely internal relative to the underlying substratum, for example with a rounded pattern, useful for better seating a desired representation, for example a mark.
• the tape-wise make allows a high feeding speed of the labels to the respective supports on which they are to be applied.
