Definitions
- This invention relates to labels.
- British Patent Specification 1,380,047 describes and claims a system for use in supermarkets and the like which uses a plurality of price/weight tokens which are attached to or otherwise associated with individual items of merchandise and which at a checkout are fed into suitable apparatus which totals the price and weight information and checks the weight information with the weight of a trolley and the merchandise contained therein on a weighing platform.
- Such a system is capable, when put into practice, of substantially facilitating the speed and efficiency of checking out in supermarkets and so of reducing the staffing requirements in such establishments.
- it is necessary to produce labels which are attachable to merchandise which can nevertheless be machine processed as just indicated.
- the production and attachment of such labels to the merchandise should naturally be as efficient as possible, particularly in terms of cost and speed.
- a particularly desirable approach is to print labels with optically readable bar codes. These can be printed using known apparatus but such apparatus functions best when the printing is on relative thin paper stock. Such bar codes can be optically read easily using a hand held sensor, but the system described in the above British Patent Specification requires that the labels be detached from the merchandise and read automatically. Automatic label reading and like equipment naturally prefers to read a rather more substantial item than a flimsy label.
- a method of labelling goods using an adhesive label wherein a first portion of the adhesive label is adhered to the goods themselves and a second portion is adhered to a reinforcing member detachable with the second portion from the first portion.
- a label giving price and weight data may be printed and adhered partly to a reinforcing member and partly to a product.
- a suitable choice of label material and adhesive it may be ensured that the part of the label bearing the reinforcing member can be torn simply and cleanly from that adherent to the goods, enabling a plurality of such labels to be torn from the merchandise and put together into suitable mechanical handling apparatus for processing as described in the Patent Specification referred to above.
- the label may be printed with price and weight data using conventional machinery adapted to handle relatively flimsy label paper and thereafter the label adhered to the goods simultaneously with or subsequently to the adherence to part thereof of the reinforcing member.
- the label may be made effectively oversize and part of the label folded back on itself to stick to itself to give a reinforced portion.
- a separate reinforcement member may be made of any convenient material, for example, card or a plastics sheet.
- the reinforcing member may be of appropriate shape to facilitate the mechanical handling of the detached portions of the labels at, e. g. a supermarket check-out.
- apparatus which prints price and weight data including an optically readable bar code on to pre-prepared label stock consisting of relatively thin label paper releasably adhered to release-coated paper tape .
- Each label is then detached automatically from the release-coated paper tape and applied to the goods to be labelled simultaneously with the introduction between the label and the goods of a piece of card approximately half the size of the label .
- half of the label sticks to the goods and the other to the card.
- the card itself is not stuck to the goods but merely attached by means of the label .
- the detached part can then be processed by automatic machinery as indicated.
- Copending application 8225324 filed on even date, gives more details.
