j~ i3 APPLICANT: v',I_.DANAsEl1 CONsUBTAIITS PTY LTD NUMBER: P07389 NUMBER: P09418 FILING DATE: 16/ 6/97 FILING DATE 24/9/97 Invention Title: A SELF-ADHESIVE LABEL AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE THEREOF.
The following statement is a full description of this invention, including the best method of performing it known to me/us: 00 0 00 0000 00 *0 0 00 0 0 0000 0000 0 .000 2 "A SELF-ADHESIVE LABEL AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE THEREOF" TECHNICAL FIELD This invention relates to a self-adhesive label and to a method of manufacture thereof.
This invention has particular but not exclusive application to self-adhesive labels adapted to be adhered to shelves in supermarkets or the like for indicating the price or other information of articles on the shelves. Such products are known in the trade as "Shelf Talkers".
BACKGROUND ART Shelf Talkers are known in various forms. In all cases the Shelf Talker includes printable label for presenting the relevant information to a shopper together with some form of adhesive means for adhering the printable label to a shelf or other support.
15 DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION This invention in one aspect relates to a sheet of self-adhesive labels comprising an integral plurality of printable labels, adhesive on a portion of the rear face of each of the printable labels, and a discrete release layer covering each adhesive, wherein each release layer overlaps the adhesive so as to define a salvage.
20 Preferably, the adhesive is transferred to the rear face of the printable label S* from the release layer during manufacture and, prior to transfer, the adhesive incompletely covers the release layer such that the release layer defines a salvage after manufacture.
As used herein, the term "salvage" is used to indicate a manually graspable portion of the release layer whereby the release layer can be removed to reveal the adhesive which remains on the rear face of the printable label for the purpose of dA adhering the-printable label to a support.
3 In another aspect the invention resides in a method of manufacturing a self-adhesive label, the method including: incompletely coating a release layer with adhesive; and fixing the incompletely coated release layer to the rear face of a printable label whereby the adhesive is transferred to the rear face of the printable sheet and whereby a salvage is defined by the release layer.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS :i ~In order that this invention may be more easily understood and put into practical effect, reference will 0 15 now be made to the accompanying drawings which illustrate 0:00:a preferred embodiment of the invention, wherein:- ~FIG 1 is a schematic view showing the continuous manufacture of a row of self-adhesive labels according to 00 the invention; 20 FIG 2 is a rear view of a sheet of three rows of self-adhesive labels showing the release layers associated with each printable label of the sheet.
BEST MODE •Referring to FIG 1, the manufacture of a continuous row of self-adhesive labels is schematically illustrated.
Release layer 10 is fed from a continuous roll 12.
Release layer 10 passes adhesive nozzle 16 which periodically sprays adhesive 8 onto the release layer.
Because the spray is intermittent, portions of release layer 10 are uncoated with adhesive. Of course, another way of achieving incomplete coverage of the release layer is to control the direction of the spray as opposed to controlling the timing of the spray.
The continuous release layer is then cut into lengths. Each length of release layer is then applied or fixed to the rear face of printable label 6. It will be noted that printable label 6 is continuously supplied from roll 14. Each individual label 6 is seperated from an adjacent printable label 6 by lines of perforations 4.
Because the adhesive has a greater affinity for the printable label 6 than the release layer 10, it is "transferred" to the rear face of the printable label 6.
Accordingly, the adhesive remains on the printable label when the release layer 10 is pealed away. The printable label can then be adhered to a support.
As shown in FIG 2, sheet 2 includes lines of perforations 4 extending widthwise and lengthwise. As shown, sheet 2 is thereby divided into nine self-adhesive labels.
oooo Each printable label 6 has adhesive 8 (hatched area) 15 on its rear side. The adhesive is covered by release layer 10 which is rectangular in shape. Thus, a 9.
plurality of independent or unconnected release layers are disposed on the rear side of the sheet.
~As can be seen, the release layer extends beyond the 20 adhesive to define a "salvage" which facilitates removal of the release layer. As shown, the salvage extends around all four sides of the release layer, ie. the release layer overlaps the edge of the adhesive on all four sides. Of course, the salvage need not extend about 25 all four sides but need only be sufficient for the S• purpose of providing means for removing the release layer from the printable label.
The fact that the release layer associated with each self-adhesive label is discrete and independent of the release layers of adjacent self-adhesive labels enables adjacent self-adhesive labels to be easily seperated by breaking the line of perforations disposed between the self-adhesive labels.
It will of course be realised that whilst the above has been given by way of an illustrative example of this invention, all such and other modifications and variations hereto, as would be apparent to persons skilled in the art, are deemed to fall within the broad scope and ambit of this invention as is herein set forth.

Claims (3)
1. A sheet of self-adhesive labels comprising an integral plurality of printable labels, adhesive on a portion of the rear face of each of the printable labels, and a discrete release layer covering each adhesive, wherein each release layer overlaps the adhesive so as to define a salvage.
2. A sheet as claimed in claim 1, wherein frangible perforations are disposed between adjacent labels.
3. A method of manufacturing a self-adhesive label, the method including: incompletely coating a release layer with adhesive; and fixing the incompletely coated release layer to the rear face of a printable label whereby the adhesive is transferred to the rear face of the printable sheet and whereby a salvage is defined by the release layer. ooo.oi
