The heat-shrinkable cylindrical label of the invention comprises a laminated substrate made of two or more layers which have an outer layer sheet and an inner layer sheet. In one side end section of this label substrate, an outer layer sheet exposure section having no inner layer sheet is formed. This outer layer sheet exposure section is overlapped with the other end section of the front face of the label substrate to form a center seal section. In such a heat-shrinkable cylindrical label, the center seal section can be formed without interposing the inner layer sheet. Accordingly, the center seal section does not become thick. Thus, a heat-shrinkable cylindrical label having a beautiful external appearance can be provided. |

A security and/or tracking information and graphic image fusion system to be used with verification equipment to provide a tamper proof labeled article having security and/or tracking information thereon. The label comprises a printable sheet having at least one RFID device thereon, and an outer layer thereon. The RFID device provides security and/or tracking information for the labeled article. The label may further include at least one visible image printed thereon. To provide additional layers of security, at least one invisible IR or UV image, or both, may also be printed on the printable sheet to provide security and/or tracking information. The visible image provides the graphic image. The label is permanently fused by an in-mold molding process to an article made of plastic, rubber or the combination thereof to render it tamper proof. |

A material sheet assembly in which a label base attached to a release liner by means of an adhesive is set in roll form is used. In a step in which the material sheet assembly is continuously fed out, the release liner is released by leaving the adhesive on the label base, and the release liner is consecutively taken up. By using a noncontact-type printer, printing is effected on the adhesive surface of the label base separated from the release liner to form a printed label. The printed label is in such a form that the printed surface is disposed between the label base and an adherend. The labels can be attached immediately after they are manufactured, and they can be stored or transported by being taken up in roll form while an additional release liner is attached to the printed surface side. |

An oriented polymeric in-mold label film comprises a hot-stretched, annealed, linerless self-wound film lamina and has a face layer for printing and a base layer which includes a heat-activatable adhesive. The heat-shrinkability of the film is balanced thickness-wise to minimize curl and allow the film to be printed in conventional label-printing presses. An antistat may be included only in the charge for the base layer which includes the heat-activatable adhesive. In the manufacture of labelled blow-molded containers, sheets and labels formed from the film may be handled at high speeds while maintaining accurate registration and dimensional and positional integrity even in the absence of any reinforcing backing, yet the labels perform well on deformable containers such as shampoo bottles. |

An oriented polymeric in-mold label film includes a hot-stretched, annealed, linerless self-wound film lamina and has a face layer for printing and a base layer which includes a heat-activatable adhesive. The film may be hot-stretched and annealed at softening and annealing temperatures exceeding the temperature at which the adhesive is activated by passing the film across rolls for imparting heat to and removing heat from the film under controlled time-temperature-direction conditions to heat at least the majority of the thickness of the film to such softening and annealing temperatures without sticking of the adhesive to the rolls. The heat-shrinkability of the film is balanced thickness-wise to minimize curl and allow the film to be printed in conventional label-printing presses. An antistat may be included only in the charge for the base layer which includes the heat-activatable adhesive. In the manufacture of labelled blow-molded containers, sheets and labels formed from the film may be handled at high speeds while maintaining accurate registration and dimensional and positional integrity even in the absence of any reinforcing backing, yet the labels perform well on deformable containers such as shampoo bottles. |

A specially constructed label is useful for application of a first face of the label to the inside face of a transparent pane so that it is visible from the outside face, and which label may have indicia applied to its first face. The label first face has self-imaging material, and it is covered by a transparent release liner, with laminating adhesive between the release liner and the label first face. Writing applied to the release liner will be transferred to the first face. The label is preferably part of a business form having a paper sheet attached by adhesive at an overlap area between the paper sheet and the label. Perforations allow ready detachment of the label from the paper sheet. The business forms are constructed by passing a web of plain paper and NCR paper to an adhesive application station, to printing stations for the application of printing to the first faces, to a station where the release liner and adhesive are brought into contact with the NCR paper, and then to a cutting station where the web is cut into individual forms, perpendicular to the direction of movement of the web during construction. |

A protective label form and carrier is disclosed which includes a carrier (A) having individual label forms (B) carried horizontally spaced on the carrier. Each label form (B) includes a first panel (C) and a coplanar panel (D) which pass between a platen of the printer in a single plane. A label (K) is releasably carried by panel (C) and is printed. As the labels pass continuously through the printer, serial printing of serial numbers and other matter is easily done. Once printed, the individual label forms (B) are removed, panel (D) folds over panel (C) by means of a hinge (F) provided by plastic film attached to a backside (34) of panel (C). A perforated marginal tab (G) separates from plastic film (E) to expose an adhesive alignment margin (26). Adhesive margin (26) adheres to the left margin of panel (C) so that plastic film (E) is evenly overlaid over label (K) as panel (D) is peeled off by pulling tab (G). Overlaid plastic film (E) and label (K) may then be removed by severing across a tear line (36) and removed from panel (C). The composite label (50 ) consisting of protective film (E) and label (K) may then be affixed to a product. |
