Definitions
- This invention is concerned with labels for application to products generally but especially to cans and bottles.
- Labels have previously been proposed that have a pressure sensitive adhesive layer on one side thereof, the layer being protected, prior to application of the label to a product, by a backing sheet. Such labels have proved popular despite the complication and waste inherent in the use of the backing sheet.
- a method of making a block of labels from a continuous label stock having a front face on which the labels are printed, a release coating on the front face and a pressure sensitive adhesive coating on the rear face thereof comprising using a hollow die to cut labels in succession from the label stock such that each label when cut enters the die and pushes previously cut labels further into the die, and removing from the die the block of superimposed labels, adjacent labels having an adhesive coating contacting a release coating.
- the present invention further provides a method of applying to articles of circular cross-section labels from a block (22) of labels comprising superimposed labels each having a pressure sensitive adhesive coating (17) on the back face thereof and a release coating (16) on the front face thereof, the adhesive coating overlying the release coating of the adjacent label, the method comprising locating the block (22) of labels to project laterally into a line of articles (30) for engagement with the peripheral surfaces of the articles, the adhesive surface (17) of the end label adjacent the line being exposed, and rolling the articles past the block of labels so that each article engages the exposed adhesive layer of the end label and peels that label off the block to expose the adhesive layer of the next label to the next article.
- the present invention additionally provides apparatus for applying to articles (30) of circular cross-section labels from a block (22) of labels comprising superimposed labels each having a pressure sensitive adhesive coating (17) on the back face thereof and a release coating (16) on the front face thereof, the adhesive coating overlying the release coating of the adjacent label, the apparatus comprising a guide (32) spaced from one flight (37) of a continuous belt (36) to define therewith a feed path in which the articles are engaged between the guide and the belt, means (39) for driving the flight of the belt in a feed direction to roll the articles along the guide, and a label holder (38) for feeding the block (22) of labels laterally into the feed path so that the adhesive coatings on the labels are presented in succession to the peripheral surfaces of successive articles as they pass the label holder.
- a further method of applying labels is provided as specified in claim 5.
- Fig. 1 diagrammatically illustrates the formation of blocks of label 10 from a continuous label stock (12).
- the continuous stock (12) may be performed by a series of conventional, in-line operations in which the label base material is firstly printed with the label design on its front face, and then presented for the application thereto of a release coating on its front face and a pressure sensitive adhesive coating to its rear face, the application of the coatings being associated with respective curing operations if necessary.
- the precise method by which the continuous stock 12 is produced may be varied, but essen- tally the stock 12, when it reaches the last process stage illustrated in Fig. 1, comprises a base 15 on which the labels are printed and having a release coating 16 on its front face and a pressure sensi- five adhesive coating 17 on its rear face. While the stock is. shown face down in Fig. 1, it could equally well be face up.
- the continuous stock 12 is passed to a die cutting station in which a number, in this embodiment two, of hollow dies 20 are actuated to co-operate with a cutting base 21 to cut the printed labels from the stock 12, operation of the dies being registered with the position of the labels by suitable means, in this embodiment a light scanning device 23 viewing the labels on the incoming stock 12.
- each label As each label is cut by a die 20, it enters the die and pushes further into the die the label previously cut by the die so that a stack 22 of labels is built up in the die.
- the adhesive coating 17 on the rear face of each label adheres slightly to the release coating 16 on the front face of the previously cut label, the stack 22 of labels can be removed from the die as a unitary block which greatly facilitates subsequent handling and is advantageous in simplifying the subsequent application of the labels to the appropriate goods as it dispenses with the unrolling, cutting, and individual label handling operations associated with the application of labels from reels. It may be desirable to protect the exposed adhesive layer at the end of the stack by means of a release liner during handling and transport.
- Fig. 2 there is illustrated one method of applying to containers of circular cross-section, such as cans or bottles, labels from a block 22 of labels.
- the containers 30, seen in Fig. 2 in plan view, are fed towards the labelling station 35 between guide rails 31 and 32, one guide rail 31 being replaced in the vicinity of the station 35 by a continuous rubber belt 36 entrained round drive/pulley wheels or rollers and which is driven so that its inner flight 37, which engages the containers 30, is moving in the direction of feed.
- the belt 36 is driven by a motor 39.
- the spacing between the inner flight 37 of the belt 36 and the guide rail 32 is such that the containers 30 are trapped between the belt and the rail and are thus forced to roll on the guide rail 32 past the labelling station 35.
- a label holder or magazine comprising a hollow guide 38 in which a label block 22 is downwardly biased.
- the guide supports the block 22 so that it projects laterally into the feed path and exposes the adhesive layer on the first label to the periphery of the next container.
- the block 22 is inverted so that it is the release coating of each label that is in turn exposed at the end of the guide 38.
- a fixed vacuum roller beneath the guide 38 peels the labels in succession from the block and deposits them, adhesive side down, on articles passing the roller on the other side of the roller from the guide 38, the velocity of the articles passing the roller matching the peripheral velocity of the roller as it contacts the articles.
- the belt 36 could be made of a material other than rubber provided only that it is biased into engagement with the containers 30.
