Definitions
- the present invention relates to a label for luggage. More specifically, the invention relates to a label for luggage which is excellently suitable for use at so-called self-service drop-off points, where passengers can check in themselves as well as their luggage, in principle without any help from airport staff. Part of the procedure in that case is the delivery of a luggage label to the passenger, who is subsequently expected to attach said label correctly to his/her luggage.
- the known label is provided with a fold line halfway its length.
- the provision of such a fold line requires an additional step during the production process of the labels, of course, whilst in addition the part in question of the label where the fold line is provided in principle does not comprise any sharp fold lines in the form in which it is used, i.e. as a drop-shaped loop, but extends spherically.
- a label as referred to in the introduction is known from International application WO-A1-0 055 832 .
- the label disclosed in said document is provided with a so-called cold-seal adhesive, whose adhesive properties are similar to those of pressure tag adhesive.
- Pressure tag adhesive is, among other companies, marketed by the company Sihl and is characterised in that the adhesive must be applied to both sides to be attached together and that adhesion is only obtained if the sides to be attached together are brought into contact with each other. An adhesive joint is not obtained if one side provided with the adhesive is brought into contact with a surface that is not provided with adhesive. The adhesive only bonds to itself, as it were.
- the label as disclosed in WO-A1-0055832 exhibits the same problem as the label disclosed in EP 600622 A1 , i.e. users tend to form a ring-shaped loop rather than a drop-shaped loop.
- the object of the invention is to provide a label which is suitable in particular for use by passengers at self-service drop-off points, without excluding the possibility of such labels being used advantageously at manned check-in counters, whilst the drawbacks of the prior art labels as described above do not apply, or at least to a reduced extent.
- the label for luggage is characterised in that the width of the strip at the location of a bending portion of the length of the strip is smaller than the width of the strip side said bending portion, wherein the strip is provided with a neutralised adhesive of the pressure tag type at the location of said bending portion and with a non-neutralised adhesive of the pressure tag type between the respective ends of the strip and the bending portion, wherein the colour of the neutralised adhesive is different from the colour of the non-neutralised adhesive.
- the invention is based on the inventive perception that as a result of the use of a combination of a bending portion, at the location of which the width of the strip is smaller than the width of the strip outside the bending portion, and the difference in colour between the neutralised adhesive and the non-neutralised adhesive, even inexperienced persons, such as passengers at a self-service drop-off point at an airport, will be more easily inclined to intuitively provide the label around a handle of a piece of luggage in the correct manner, forming a loop having a drop shape, so that the label is pressed onto itself at the ends thereof with the side provided with the pressure-sensitive adhesive.
- the strip is provided with an adhesive of the pressure tag type between the respective ends of the strip and the bending portion on the other hand provides a possibility of creating a very strong loop, so that the risk of the label becoming detached from the piece of luggage is quite small, which is advantageous also from a viewpoint of fraud prevention. Moreover, in this way it is practically ensured that the strip will be formed into a drop-shaped loop, because there will be no adhesion if it is attempted to form the strip into a ring-shaped loop.
- the strip is provided with a neutralised adhesive of the pressure tag type at the location of portions of the strip adjacent to the ends of the strip.
- the strip is provided with a neutralised adhesive of the pressure tag type at the location of portions of the strip adjacent to the longitudinal sides of the strip.
- a neutralised adhesive of the pressure tag type at the location of portions of the strip adjacent to the longitudinal sides of the strip.
- islands of non-neutralised pressure tag adhesive are formed on either side of the bending portion when combined with the use of a neutralised adhesive at the location of portions of the strip adjacent to the ends of the strip.
- the neutralised adhesive of the pressure tag type has advantageously been neutralised by local irradiation of the adhesive, for example with UV rays or electron rays.
- the neutralised glue of the pressure tag type is neutralised by locally printing it with a neutralising ink. Said printing with a neutralising ink could take place simultaneously with the printing of information on the label.
- a neutralising ink is used, it is preferable if the colour of said neutralising ink is different from the colour of the adhesive of the pressure tag type. In this way it is achieved in one process step not only that the adhesive is locally neutralised but also that the neutralised and the non-neutralised areas can be visually distinguished from each other.
- the strip of material comprises a layer of paper, a layer of a thermally printable material and a layer of plastic material therebetween.
- the layer of thermally printable material allows the thermal printing of information on the label.
- the layer of plastic material can prevent tearing of the label, whilst the layer of paper can show whether the label has been torn loose.
- the strip is furthermore preferably provided with sticker material on the side remote from the adhesive coating.
- stickers can be affixed to a traveller's pieces of luggage and/or documents, such as a passport.
- the present invention further relates to a method for manufacturing a length of interconnected labels, comprising the steps of
- step B After completion of step B it is possible within the framework of the present invention to carry out step B first and then step C or to carry out step C first and subsequently step B.
- the method comprises the step of neutralising the adhesive of the pressure tag type at the location of portions of the strip adjacent to the ends of the labels.
- the method also comprises the step of neutralising the adhesive of the pressure tag type at the location of portions of the strip adjacent to the longitudinal sides of the labels.
- the method also comprises the step, to be carried out after step C, of dividing the strip into lengths whose width corresponds to the widest part of a label.
- Figure 1 shows in longitudinal sectional view the structure of a web 1 of substrate material which functions as a starting material in carrying out a preferred embodiment of a method according to the invention for producing the label for luggage according to the invention.
- Figure 1 shows only that portion of the web 1 in longitudinal section which will eventually form a label. In actual fact the web 1 is much larger and the eventual labels are positioned both beside each other and behind each other on the web 1, as shown in figure 4 .
- the starting material of the web 1 comprises, from bottom to top, a layer 2 of paper, a layer 3 of plastic material and a layer 4 of thermal paper.
- thermal paper can be printed by briefly heating the paper locally, as a result of which the paper will locally turn black. Such a method does not require any ink or toner. This technique is generally used for "printing" luggage labels.
- the three-layer material of the web 1 is known per se and is marketed by the company Sihl, for example.
- Figure 2a shows how an adhesive coating 5 of the pressure tag type is applied on the entire surface area of the paper layer 2.
- An adhesive of this type typically bonds only to another coating of the same adhesive.
- Such types of adhesive are also sold by the company Sihl, for example.
- Figure 3 shows a larger part of the web 1 in bottom view.
- a neck or narrowed portion is formed for each label 21 halfway the length thereof by cutting/punching out the hexagonal areas 12, as a result of which openings are formed at that location.
- the web 1 is divided into elongated strips 14 by cutting the web 1 into the strips along the cutting lines 13 indicated in chain-dotted lines.
- Dashed lines 15 indicate the eventual length of the labels 21.
- perforations may be punched at the location of said dashed lines 15 to make it easier to tear the labels from each other at a later stage.
- the device which delivers the labels 21 from the roll of strips 14 in the form in which it is eventually used with pieces of luggage cuts through the strips 14 at the lines 15.
- certain markings that can be detected by the device in question for each label, such as a printed marking or a punched hole to which the device can orient itself.
- perforations it is also possible not to provide the perforations according to the line 15 until after so-called stubs (further refer to figure 5 and the description thereof) have been affixed to the label 21, so that also said stubs 21, which, after all, are provided around the line 15, will be perforated.
- FIG. 4 indicates (for one label that originally formed part of a long strip 14 of interconnected labels) how so-called stubs 16 are fixed to the ends of the label.
- Each stub 16 consists of a release layer 17 and two stickers 18 for each release layer, which stickers 18 for each label 21 are in principle identically printed and comprise unique information by means of which pieces of luggage can be identified.
- the stickers 18 are for example to be affixed to a piece of luggage at a check-in counter, with the release layer remaining behind on the label 21.
- the strips 14 are rolled up. In rolled-up condition the strips 14 are ready to be handled by devices known per se for printing the strips on the side of the thermal paper 4 and delivering labels.
- devices known per se for printing the strips on the side of the thermal paper 4 and delivering labels.
- the label 21 is quite suitable for being provided by passengers, i.e. by non-professionals.
- the islands 9 of each label are intended to be pressed together, which the passenger will intuitively understand and correctly carry out.
- the use of a neck 11 emphasizes the mirror-symmetric shape of the label 21 and is a further indication to the passenger of the position where the label 21 is to be bent. Precisely because an (active) adhesive coating is absent in the area 8, halfway the length of the label 11, there will be no adhesion at that location.
