Definitions

  • This invention relates to self adhesive labels and in particular concerns labels which are supplied in roll form.
  • the labels will mainly be for application, using suitable machinery, to individual articles or objects.
  • Pressure sensitive labels find wide application in the field of produce marketing. For example, in supermarkets and other stores the products on sale are typically priced by means of small pressure sensitive labels which are applied to the product, and frequently these labels have to be changed because of price change, making consumption of such label enormous. These labels are known as "secondary" labels because they do not primarily indicate the nature of the product but rather some specific aspect of the product such as the price.
  • primary pressure sensitive labels are mounted on a carrier or backing web which is normally a web of paper coated with a suitable release material such as a silicone compound.
  • the adhesive labels are applied to this carrier or backing web for transportation, storage and utilisation, but the labels can readily be peeled from the backing web as there is a much stronger bond between the adhesive and the material of the label, than between the adhesive and the release material.
  • U.K. Patent Application 2,013,613 also discloses that it is known to provide a roll of secondary labels, and on one side of the web is pressure sensitive adhesive whilst on the other side is a release coating to enable the web to be wound into roll form without the use of a backing strip.
  • the roll of labels is placed in a "labelling gun" to enable the feeding of the web to unroll same, and the severing of individual labels from the roll by transverse cutting thereof.
  • No detailed description is given of how the labelling gun operates, but such guns are probably small hand carried items as they are described as being of a type which are carried by clerks to enable the prices of goods to be marked on the goods by application of the labels thereto.
  • This specification as the United States Patent 2,845,728 is therefore more concerned with the provision of secondary small price secondary labels as opposed to the primary labels which are applied to articles such as bottles and cans by application machinery under factory conditions.
  • the invention provides a roll of self adhesive labels for the application of the labels individually by machinery to articles which are moved one by one by machinery relative to the station at which the labels are applied.
  • a roll of backingless self adhesive labels comprising a web on which the labels are printed in equally pitched arrangement, characterised by the combination of the features known per se of
  • the web is preferably of a relatively non-extensible material so as to enable the individual labels to be cut therefrom.
  • the web material defining the labels may be of a thickness consistent with the thickness of the labels as conventionally used.
  • the release coating may be applied to the web by rollers, gravure cylinders or hot melt applicators to provide a surface having a release characteristic.
  • the coating may for example contain non-migrant repellants, and in particular, polymerisable silicone polymers.
  • the coating may for example be a solvent heat cured coating, an aqueous system, solvent free or UV cured, examples of the above are as follows:
  • Q2-7090 (Dow Corning) Premium release addi tive Is used in varying proportions to lower release levels of basis 02-­7046.
  • Q2-7089 (Dow Corning) Release modifying agent. Can be used in varying amounts to raise level of release of Q2-7046 and gives stable modified release levels.
  • Q2-7127 (Dow Corning) Accelerator for 02-­7046. Is used in minute quantities to accelerate the cure rate of Q2-7046. Especially useful for low temperature curing on substrates such as polyethylene film.
  • Syloff 297 (Dow Corning) Anchorage additive. Necessary to provide abrasion resistance for off-line work (except using PEK). In the following proportions by volume.
  • C.M.C. Carboxy methyl cellulose 2 parts by weight.
  • the amount of release coating applied may be in the order of 0.1 to 1.5 grams/sq. metre depending upon the web.
  • the pressure sensitive adhesive may be applied by conventional means, and typicallay may be a solvent or water based emulsion of which the solvent or water is dried from the web after application.
  • the pressure sensitive adhesive may for example be hot melt, water based, or solvent based, examples of which are as follows:
  • Elvax *40-P (Du Pont) (Ethylene-vinyl acetate resin) - 40 parts by weight.
  • Piccovar* L-60 Hercules Inc.
  • Hydrocarbon resin Hydrocarbon resin
  • Irganox *1010 (Ciba Geigy) (Antioxidant) - 0.5 parts by weight.
  • the labels may be colour printed by any suitable method such as letter press, flexographic, gravure or offset litho.
  • polypropylene or high density polyethylene film including substantial proportions of particulate inorganlc material.
  • the inorganic material may be included in the range 20 to 50% of the web by volume, and in the preferred case the web is polypropylene ethylene sequential copolymer, as described in our British Patent No. 1,544,143 filled with 40% talc.
  • Fig. 1 there is shown a web 10 having labels 14, each provided with printing 16.
  • the web 10 is made up of a central substrate web which is of a non-fibrous and substantially inextensible material and on one side of which is applied a pressure sensitive adhesive coating and on the other side is applied a release coating.
  • the substrate, adhesive coating and release coating are of a nature as described herein, and the web is wound so that the adhesive coating is to the inner side of each coil and contacts directly on the release coating of the adjacent inner coil. This arrangement enables the web to be easily unrolled.
  • the web may be wound on a suitable core.
  • the printing 16 (single or multi coloured and of any desired pattern and/or content) is applied to the substrate prior to the application of the release coating.
  • the web 10 has sprocket holes at each side thereof which will be arranged by suitable sprocket wheels or rollers and the web will be indexed forwards towards the product to be labelled.
  • the web 10 carries printing 16 which repeats at pitch length P, but the web has no perforations or lines of weakening.
  • the web defines labels which have to be cut from the web by suitable cutting equipment located in the region of an application head as explained in relation to Fig. 2 so that individual labels are cut from the web immediately prior to or during application of the label to the article to which the label is being applied.
  • the adhesive covers only a fraction of the web surface at one side, to increase the ease with which the labels can be applied to the products and to limit extrusion of the adhesive out of the side of the roll of labels.
  • Fig. 2 shows in somewhat greater detail, how labels in roll form as shown in Fig. 1 may be applied to box shaped products 40.
  • the roll of labels is indicated by numeral 42 and is unwound from this roll by a tractor unit 44 having a suitable sprocket feed device which engages the holes in the margins of the web 10 (the said holes are not shown in the drawings) and is fed through a removal and application station 46.
  • the skeletal residue of the web 10 is wound into roll form as shown by numeral 48.
  • the adhesive side of the web 10 is the upper side and all surfaces which contact this adhesive side are required to be of a nature so as not to adhere to the adhesive. Such surfaces may be defined by silicone release material.
  • the removal and application station 46 comprises an upper pressure nip roller 50 (silicone coated) and a lower vacuum cylinder 52 around which the web 10 laps slightly as shown in Fig. 2, and which has a plurality of circumferentially spaced ports 54 which connect with axially extending passages 55, which are selectively connectable to a source of vacuum or, when at detachment position 56, with a blast of air under pressure.
  • a valve plate 58 at one end of the cylinder controls the connection of the passage 55 to the source of vacuum and the blast of air in that said plate 58 has an arcuate port 60 coupled to the source of vacuum and a port hole at position 56 connected to the air under pressure.
  • each passage 55 which registers with port 60 is connected to the source of vacuum.
  • Each passage 55 which leaves register with port 60 arrives first at the position 56 where it receives a blast of air under pressure, and then the passage is blanked off until it once more reaches the port 60.
  • the individual labels 14 are detached by the vacuum at the nip between roller 50 and cylinder 52, and travel round with the cylinder 52 until they reach station 56 at which they are progressively applied to the products 40 which are moving as indicated by arrow 63, in synchronsim with the feed of the labels.
  • the labels and products are fed on a continuous basis, and at high speeds.
