"Label, label strips and process for their manufacture V

The invention relates to labels, tickets, tokens and similar items that are attached by adhesive layers Objects are to be attached. The word "label" is intended to be used in the following include any object formed in this way.

To promote the sale of their products, it is a Widespread action by the trading company, the customer to grant certain advantages, either by reducing the price for future purchases or by other items, which are given free of charge or offered at advantageous prices. The discounts require proof of purchase of a sales item, which, although simply in the case of packed items, But not so easily with objects like bottles or cans.

The invention is based on the objects of a label; to provide a label strip and a method for their preparation, by which the proof of purchase may be performed in a simple manner.

The first sub-task is achieved in that at least one area with a first adhesive and at least one other area with a second adhesive is present on one of the rare areas of the label and the first adhesive 'the label when it is attached to sales items or the like. by the second ^ Ogtaiotf.not attached »This

Label is to be affixed to the sales item in such a way that it is most likely not removed in accidental wines and yet easily removed as a whole or with the part proving the discount if necessary and can be glued into a trading card or onto a sheet of paper. For the proof of a purchase it is necessary that the Labels cause low costs and the mechanical and automatic attachment to the sales items at high Need to be capable of speed and with simple and readily available apparatus. The trained according to the invention Labels meet these requirements and have additional advantages.

Are in an advantageous embodiment of the invention two areas with the second adhesive on either side of an area between them with the first adhesive arranged.

The first adhesive is advantageously moist-) sensitive and the second adhesive sensitive to pressure.

The term pressure sensitive indicates an adhesive

like rubber latex, which is used to put a label on a surface to fix "and only by using Pressure and in a releasable manner, so that the label from this Surface can be peeled off. The expression sensitive to moisture identifies an adhesive such as a rubber

link that is used on postage and usually is dry and non-sticky, but sticky when moistened., is made.

The second subtask is represented by a strip or a roll of such labels released on an uninterrupted basis Carrier strips arranged in a row and their cit pressure sensitive adhesive are attached to the carrier strip. They are easily detachable from this, as the moisture-sensitive Adhesive does not adhere to the carrier strip.

The third subtask, is carried out by a method for Production of a label strip solved in which one side of a sheet-like strip with the first adhesive and two spaced apart along the strip edges Eands are coated with the second adhesive that the strip on the inner edges of the second adhesive coated tapes and a carrier strip is applied to the adhesive-coated side of the perforated strip is, and the thus assembled strip passes through a label cutting machine, which only the perforated Strip, and which peel the portions of the perforated strip surrounding the labels from the carrier strip.

Using the drawing that shows a strip of labels in represents a perspective view, a preferred embodiment of the invention is explained.

It is an uninterrupted strip 10 of backing paper present that has a label-bearing surface that is treated with a plastic material, for example, around it make it suitable for both receiving and dispensing a pressure-sensitive adhesive. A variety of labels 11,

For example, made of paper, the length of the Tr- ^: igerstreifens 10 is arranged at regular intervals. Each label 11 is subdivided by perforation lines 12 running parallel in the longitudinal direction of the strip, which are arranged at a distance from one another so that they subdivide the label into a larger central area 13 and two opposite smaller side areas 14. Advantageously, the labels 11 have rounded corners 15. They are generally rectangular and the side regions 14 extend along the shorter sides of the rectangles. This guarantees that the corners 15 and those edges of the labels 11 which lie in the transport direction of the label strip 10, after the application of rubber latex or another separable, pressure-sensitive adhesive on the backs of the side areas 14 of the labels, lie tightly on the carrier. The rear sides of the central areas 13 are coated with a moisture-sensitive adhesive.

The label strip can be removed by the following process | , steps can be easily made:

1 * A strip of paper or other material is coated on one side with a moisture-sensitive adhesive, which is then dried.

2. A pressure sensitive adhesive is applied over the moisture sensitive adhesive in two spaced parallel ribbons along the edges of the paper strip.

3. The paper strip is attached lengthways to the inner edges of the tapes of the pressure sensitive adhesive perforated.

4. The back of the paper strip is covered by applying an uninterrupted, e.g., paper-on, carrier strip with a plastic-coated side.

5. The strip assembled in this way runs through a Label cutting machine which only cuts through the perforated strip and then the resulting skeleton from the carrier strip is peeled off, so that the label strip shown in the drawing is produced.

6. If necessary, the label strip passes through a printing and / or overprinting device, e.g. Write down the details of the discount on the labels.

A manufacturer running a promotion campaign wishes, e.g. a supermarket supplier, can easily identify the necessary characters by printing the details on the llittelbereich 13 of the label 11 on the label strip of the Prepare the type shown. The labels are then from Hand or from a labeling machine on the candidate; ..! Applied goods, e.g. on selected cans and / or bottles with prepared food. The individual labels Bind with their pressure sensitive bleaches removably attached to the cans or bottles. If the customer labeled one like that Buys a can and / or bottle, he can sell the value \ we ^ eende middle area 13 can be obtained by separating. Of the
