Description

The invention relates to an arrangement and a method for centered application of a label on a data carrier

In practice, data carriers, in particular CD-ROMs, are rewritable Often label or stick on CDs or DVDs. These labels can be unlabeled or labeled in particular be printed in color.

When applying such labels on the data carrier results there is often the problem that the labels are difficult to put on the media can be centered. Becomes a label not centered on a data carrier, so can errors when writing to the data carrier and / or Access to the data stored on the data carrier. Furthermore, one can be centered on a disk applied label both the appearance of such Data carrier as well as the saleability of such labels be affected.

It is conceivable to put labels for CDs and DVDs on standard formats Provide sheets of paper. These sheets of paper point a carrier layer and a detachably arranged thereon Layer of labels on the underside with a self-adhesive layer is provided. On the edges of the There are die cuts on the narrow sides of the rectangular sheet, through the backing layer as well as through the label layer are executed. These die cuts are solved by holes pressed into the paper sheet. The one to be stuck with the label CD or DVD is now in the supplied centering aid attached from plastic. After that, the paper sheet so placed on this centering aid that on the centering aid trained centering pins in the holes of the paper sheet be fitted. On the bottom of the sheet of paper is on the side opposite the centering pins of the paper sheet is stamped into a circular ring on the carrier film. This carrier foil circular ring is removed from the paper sheet and the adhesive-coated underside of the paper sheet pressed onto the CD or DVD and glued on. thus fixed, the label sheet can be removed from the centering pins removed, the remaining carrier film to the side of the punched Holes pulled off and the label by pressing be stuck on the CD. With this arrangement is from Disadvantage that an additional centering aid is required. It is also disadvantageous that two additional process steps be carried out, namely the insertion of the CD or DVD in the centering aid and removing the CD or DVD from the Centering aid after applying the label.

Alignment of the arrangement according to the invention takes place in that the first alignment punch on a first Positioning edge and the second alignment punch on one aligned second positioning edge of the data carrier becomes. The one of the two alignment punches on the arrangement according to the invention enclosed straight edge thereby placed on a contact edge of the data carrier. The underside of the label layer of the invention The arrangement points in the direction of the top of the data carrier. This is a particularly reliable and accurate positioning and applying the label on the data carrier allows. The distance between the two alignment punchings corresponds advantageously the distance between the two positioning edges the data carrier.

In a particularly advantageous development of the invention, in which the arrangement according to the invention is a label layer separation punch and has a carrier layer cut-off punch, is inserted after inserting a data medium in the recess in the method step according to the invention the cutting of the label layer cut-off die and the Carrier layer cut-out executed. This process step can also be in another place of the invention Procedure to be performed, however, is prior to the step the cutting of the alignment punch or the punchings perform. By providing this procedural step it is ensured that the at an alignment punch adjacent or between two alignment punchings located straight edge of the arrangement according to the invention Damage is protected. Through this advantageous training the method according to the invention becomes special reliable and particularly precise alignment and positioning of the label on the surface of the data carrier reached.

The invention further relates to a method for centering Applying a label to a data carrier an arrangement described above, the at least one Alignment tab with an overlap area. In doing so first insert a data medium into the recess and then the alignment section (s) from the label layer as well as detached from the carrier layer, the or the overlap areas on the carrier layer with the label stays connected. Then the label with the exception of the overlap area or areas from the backing layer deducted. Now the or the alignment edges on at least one positioning edge and / or on a contact edge aligned of the data carrier. It is the bottom of the label layer towards the top of the disk directed. Then the bottom the label stuck to the top of the disk, with the front of the label pressed onto the disk becomes. Then the alignment tab or the Alignment tabs pulled off laterally, with the overlap areas be detached from the label. Finally the bottom the label layer at this overlap area or at this Overlap areas glued to the top of the disk.

This method according to the invention is simple and Quickly implementable possibility of precise application of labels on a data carrier, with the Align only the disk case is used.

In an advantageous development of this method considered an arrangement that additionally a guide tab having. The additional step is to solve the problem Guide section from the label layer and from the carrier layer provided, the overlap area of the guide tab initially remains attached to the label. The label with the exception of the overlap areas, the Carrier layer subtracted. In particular, the guide tab gripped and the label towards the alignment section or the alignment sections detached from the carrier layer. After aligning the arrangement and sticking the The alignment tab or the alignment tabs become labels as well as the guide tab and the overlap areas the label layer also on the top of the Disk stuck on.

By providing such a guide tab in an inventive Arrangement can make the label particularly user friendly be stuck on the disk, with a Touch the adhesive-coated underside of the label is advantageously avoided.

The method also relates to arrangements according to the invention, at which the alignment tab or the alignment tabs and / or the Guide tab by punching, in particular by label layer alignment section punching, by means of carrier layer alignment section punchings, through label layer guide section punchings as well as by means of carrier layer guide section punchings are realized. If such die cuts are present, so the alignment tab or the alignment tabs and / or the guide tab at the beginning of the process detached from the label layer and from the carrier layer, by cutting the die cuts. The label layer and the carrier layer of the alignment tab or the Alignment tabs and / or the guide tab remain initially connected with each other.

The release of such punches is without tools, such as of scissors, easily possible, whereby at the same time, great accuracy of the edges created is guaranteed. The label can also have a contour be limited by a circumferential punching, which in particular is to be trained continuously. The peeling process step of the label from the carrier layer is with the opening connected to the circumferential punching.

If between the label layer alignment section die cut and the backing alignment portion punch a distance is provided, the alignment of the label application arrangement can thereby be supported by the narrow Area of the underside of the label applicator assembly between the label layer alignment section die cut and Carrier layer alignment section punching on the removable data medium container is temporarily glued on. A blur or a non-centered application of the label becomes advantageous avoided. The narrow areas can be done after Easily apply the label from the removable media container be removed.

Finally, there can also be a recess punch in the middle of the label can be provided, which the contour of a central Of the label. In this case there is an additional one Process step of cutting the recess punching and removing that within the recess punch lying area of the label layer is provided. This is particularly easy to do by pulling off the label the recess pressed down by the carrier layer or is held on the carrier layer. So that's the application CD and / or DVD labels easily and precisely possible.
