Abstract

A self-adhesive label has a series of peeling layers, each with written or pictorial information that is revealed by peeling off the prior layer. Each self-adhesive label is supplied on a tape web. With the exception of the last layer, each layer is printed on both sides.

Description

The The invention relates to a multi-functional adhesive label having a plurality Information levels, the advantageous identification in particular such goods is particularly suitable, the detailed and at the same time compact arranged detailed information can appear appropriate or more or less mandatory.

Some Adhesive label types that serve such a purpose are already known.

So For example, sandwich labels are made from a variety of materials in use, referred to as "piggyback" labels become. These labels can be made with or without one-sided hinge element. The each upper layer, i. the coated with pressure-sensitive adhesive on its underside first visible actual label, is subtracted, it then appears the printed with the additional information back and the other Additional information provided next, including lying layer. The additional information can immediately be marked Product, they can but also serve marketing functions, such as a continuous Code for Carry competitions.

These has comparatively simple structure already known solution the disadvantage that with the opening of the cover label only two more surfaces for additional information to disposal be put. These surfaces rich for detailed pictorial and / or additional textual information is usually not sufficient.

Known are also additional information carriers that folded under the adhesive coated cover label introduced and after one-sided or complete Peel off the cover label can be deployed. This one of a kind Accordion bellows up to a comparatively quite considerable area to be unfolded information carrier become ordinary referred to as "Leporello" are mostly one-sided about a hinge-like Element held and can if necessary also folded up again and with the help of the cover label in their original one Position are fixed (re-attaching the cover label).

The Leporello principle seems initially tempting because of the compared to the "piggyback" labels significantly enlarged information surface, especially because of its functional-decorative and playful at the same time Elements is quite effective in advertising. All such solutions have but the decisive disadvantage, quite expensive in the production and thus to be too expensive. In addition, there are quite considerable difficulties with Processing on high-performance labeling machines. Who is here supposedly offering compromise, in order to avoid disruptions Significantly reduce the working speed of such machines, comes because of the then no longer sufficient efficiency of the production process not in question.

It Thus, the inventive task for the development of a simple, inexpensive, with one possible huge area for additional information equipped multi-layer adhesive labels.

According to the invention, the object is achieved by a novel multifunctional adhesive label having a plurality of information levels, wherein the product according to the invention is characterized by more than two information carrier layers. The structure of the product according to the invention can be described particularly advantageously in connection with its use. If the cover label is peeled off in a manner known per se, the printed back of this cover label becomes visible and at the same time the next layer, also printed with text and / or image information, appears at the same time. Then this layer is also peeled off so that the next similarly equipped information carrier layer becomes visible. Depending on the nature and quality of the materials used, the product may consist of further layers, which are equipped in an analogous manner, and which are exposed in each case by peeling off the overlying layer. Below the last layer is a siliconized carrier tape, already known in principle. Since all layers (except for the lowest layer) can be printed on both sides, a total of almost 100% land use results. The hinge region can be arranged on one side, ie all layers of the label are then successively withdrawn or unfolded in the same direction and possibly glued together again in their original position. In a further embodiment, the hinge of each layer is positioned on one side portion of the label in a conventional manner on one side, however, the hinge part of each next layer is arranged opposite to the hinge part of the respective overlying layer, so that a left-right or bottom -On-change in the partial stripping of the layers using the known glue-free grip tabs takes place. The individual layers consist of, for example, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester or a special paper suitable for this purpose, or else a composite material, the printability being ensured by all possible printing processes. The product according to the invention is not bound to the frequently used for labels more or less rectangular shape, but can also be in any geometrical ande be designed ren forms, wherein always based on the construction principle of the invention described above.

The Main fields of application of the invention are those cases in which the conventional Labeling too little room for offers all the information of interest to the customer, furthermore can be by means of the invention, decorative and promotional aspects more advantageous as with the usual ones Implement methods. Also, the product of the invention over the elaborate Leporello products the advantage of cheaper Production as well as the unrestricted processability High-performance labeling machines.

advantageous Variants of the invention are described in the following embodiments described in more detail. However, they describe only two of the many possible variants and limit the The scope of the invention in no way in any way. This concerns not only the number of information levels, the materials - or composite materials - and the Material thicknesses, but z. As well as more specific embodiments, such as a subdivision of individual or all layers into removable ones or separately removable partial surfaces, or also an arrangement deviating from the example of the hinges, also the complete one Waiver of hinges, if after successive subtraction of each Upper layers whose re-bonding is not mandatory appears.

example 1

On a conventional siliconized carrier film constructed of screen-printed PE films constructed three-layer label. Both sides of each layer are printed (except for the lowest actual adhesive layer, which is only printed on the top side). The undersides are each coated with pressure-sensitive adhesive. The hinges of all layers are each on the narrow side left. 1 shows the closed and layered label ( 1a : Top of the top layer with square unlined handle for exposing pages 2 and 3; 1b : the top layer is made with the help of the bottom right unglued grip tab, which is marked "S. 2 + 3 ", peeled off, backing of the topcoat and top of the next layer are exposed; 1c : the middle layer is made with the aid of the unglued grip tab positioned on the top right, marked "S. 4 + 5 ", stripped, back of the middle layer and top of the bottom-most layer are exposed.) The information-bearing pages are identified as page 1 (top side), page 2 (top side), page 3 (top side) middle layer), p. 4 (back middle layer) and p. 5 (upper side lower layer).

Example 2

On a conventional siliconized carrier film constructed of screen-printed PE films constructed three-layer label. Both sides of each layer are printed (with the exception of the lower layer, the actual adhesive layer, which is only printed on the upper side). The undersides are each coated with pressure-sensitive adhesive. The hinge of the cover layer is on the right side, the middle layer on the left side. 2 shows the label before opening ( 2a ), when removing the cover layer ( 2 B ) as well as the removal of the middle layer ( 2c ). The information-bearing pages are referred to as p.1 (upper side cover layer), p.2 (rear cover layer), p.3 (upper middle layer), p.4 (back middle layer), and p.5 (upper side lower layer). The unsealed handles are labeled "S. 2 + 3 "or" p. 4 + 5 "and thus allow, for example, if" S. 4 + 5 "alone, opening pages 4 and 5 without having to open pages 2 and 3.
