Abstract

A folded label having a lower side (1) which has on its back a self-adhesive compound concealed by an easily removable covering, and having a plurality of sides (2, 3, 4) which lie, in the folded-together state, on the front of the lower side and, in the pulled-apart or opened-out state, together with the lower side result in an elongate strip or a sheet. The label is characterised in that, in a plurality of folds (5, 6) formed by the sides, a region (7) with a self-adhesive compound for reversible sticking is provided on a side (2, 3, 4) forming such a fold, which region holds the label together in the folded state, but which allows the label to be opened, pulled apart or opened out several times and folded together again to close it. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein gefaltetes Etikett von der Art eines Etiketten-Heftchens, das mit Informationen versehen auf einen Gegenstand geklebt werden und vom Benutzer auseinandergefaltet und gelesen werden kann.The invention relates to a folded label of the type of a label booklet, which is stuck to an object provided with information and can be unfolded and read by the user.

Derartige Etiketten sind bereits bekannt. So beschreibt die EP-PS 90.882 ein gefaltetes Etikett, das auf seiner Rückseite eine Selbstklebemasse für festes, dauerhaftes Verkleben aufweist, im übrigen aber einfach zusammengefaltet ist, wobei dieses gefaltete Heftchen mit einem Klebestreifen (23) verschlossen wird. Dieser Klebestreifen wird also auf die Vorderseite des gefalteten Etiketten-Heftchens dort geklebt, wo das Heftchen zu öffnen wäre. Zum Öffnen zieht man den Streifen ab, kann dann das Heftchen auseinanderfalten und lesen, wieder zusammenfalten und mit dem Klebestreifen erneut verschließen. Zwar gestattet dieses Etikett ein reversibles Öffnen und Verschließen, erfordert aber einen separaten Klebestreifen, der bei offenem Etikett aufbewahrt werden muß, ggf. in der Hand gehalten werden muß, mit nötiger Vorsicht, weil er ja klebt, der auch ggf. verloren gehen mag, jedenfalls hinderlich bei der Handhabung des Etiketts ist.Such labels are already known. For example, EP-PS 90,882 describes a folded label which has a self-adhesive composition on its back for firm, permanent bonding, but is otherwise simply folded up, this folded booklet being sealed with an adhesive strip (23). This tape is stuck to the front of the folded label booklet where the booklet would have to be opened. To open it, pull off the strip, then unfold and read the booklet, fold it up again and close it again with the adhesive strip. Although this label allows reversible opening and closing, it requires a separate adhesive strip that must be kept with the label open, possibly held in your hand, with due care, because it sticks, which may also be lost, is in any case a hindrance to the handling of the label.

Die EP-PS 87.987 beschreibt ein ähnliches Etikett, das aber aus einem Stück besteht, also keinen separaten Klebestreifen erfordert. Es wird vielmehr ein Etiketten-Heftchen ähnlichen Typs beschrieben, das im zusammengefalteten Zustand mit einem Klebeband (19) zugehalten wird, welches an der Innenfläche der Vorderseite angeordnet ist. Dabei wird das gefaltete Etikett von der Vorderseite, also der obersten über das Etikett gefalteten Seite als Lasche überdeckt und mit dem Klebeband an dessen Unterseite verklebend geschlossen gehalten. Zwar hat der Benutzer dieses Etiketts es nur mit einem Gegenstand zu tun und ist frei von dem Problem, ein separates Klebeband handhaben zu müssen. Aber ihm steht nur eine einzige Möglichkeit zur Verfügung, das gefaltete Etikett klebend zu sichern. Die einzelnen Seiten untereinander sind nicht gesichert, richten sich von allein gern auf, entsprechend ihrer Tendenz, in ihren ursprünglichen, ungefalteten Zustand zurückzukehren. Diese Rückstellkräfte und auch das gezielte Zusammenfalten, ohne die bereits gefalteten Partien wieder auseinander streben zu lassen, erinnern den ungeübten Benutzer durchaus an jenen Sisyphos, so er von diesem weiß, dem der tückische Marmor stets wieder entrollte, sobald er fast am Ziele war. Und selbst im zusammengefalteten und zugeklebten Zustand hat ein solches viellagiges Etiketten-Heftchen seine Nachteile, indem es aufzuspringen droht, einzelne Lagen locker seitlich anfangen herauszuragen, und schon die kleinste Kraft in Richtung Öffnen der Verklebung läßt das Ganze aufspringen und ungewollt offen herabhängen, etwa bei entsprechender Berührung beim Transport eines damit ausgerüsteten Gegenstandes.EP-PS 87,987 describes a similar label which, however, consists of one piece and therefore does not require a separate adhesive strip. Rather, a label booklet of a similar type is described, which is held closed in the folded state with an adhesive tape (19) which is arranged on the inner surface of the front side. The folded label is covered as a flap from the front, that is to say the uppermost side folded over the label, and is kept closed with adhesive tape on its underside. The user of this label is only dealing with one object and is free from the problem of having to handle a separate adhesive tape. But there is only one way to secure the folded label with adhesive. The individual pages are not secured among themselves, they like to stand up by themselves, according to their tendency to return to their original, unfolded state. These restoring forces and also the targeted folding, without letting the already folded parts move apart again, remind the inexperienced user of that Sisyphus, as he knows about it, from which the treacherous marble always unrolled again as soon as it was almost there. And even in the folded and taped state, such a multi-layer booklet has its disadvantages in that it threatens to burst open, individual layers start to protrude loosely from the side, and even the slightest force in the direction of opening the adhesive causes the whole thing to spring open and hang down unintentionally, for example appropriate touch when transporting an object equipped with it.

Aufgabe der Erfindung war es, hier Abhilfe zu schaffen und ein gefaltetes Etikett bereitzustellen, das die Nachteile des Standes der Technik vermeidet, zumindest aber für den normalen, ungeübten Benutzer ein leichteres Umgehen damit ermöglicht, wobei dieses Etikett zudem auch wirtschaftlich herstellbar sein soll.The object of the invention was to remedy this situation and to provide a folded label which Disadvantages of the prior art are avoided, but at least it is easier for the normal, inexperienced user to deal with them, and this label should also be economical to produce.

Demgemäß betrifft die Erfindung ein Etikett, wie dies in Anspruch 1 und den Unteransprüchen näher gekennzeichnet ist.Accordingly, the invention relates to a label as characterized in more detail in claim 1 and the subclaims.

Bevorzugt ist die Selbstklebemasse für reversible Verklebung eine solche, die im Rotationssiebdruck in Form kalottenartiger Klebestellen aufgebracht ist, wie dies in der DE-OS 3.346.100 beschrieben ist. Dies hat bei der Herstellung beachtliche Vorteile, ebenso aber auch Vorteile, die sich am Produkt selbst und seiner Handhabung zeigen. So kann in eine Druck-Linie zum Bedrucken von entsprechendem Etiketten-Vormaterial ohne technische Probleme ein zusätzlicher Druckvorgang eingebracht werden, in welchem eine Klebstoff-Emulsion mit hohem Feststoffgehalt wie in obiger DE-OS beschrieben an vorbestimmten Bereichen des Etiketts aufgebracht und getrocknet wird. Da ohnehin Druck-Arbeitsgänge bei der Herstellung solcher Etiketten dem Fachmann geläufig sind, ist es für ihn kein Problem, einen weiteren derartigen Druck-Arbeitsgang auch für den Klebstoff-Auftrag vorzusehen. Dabei ist es ein weiterer Vorteil, daß dieses Bedrucken mit Klebstoff ohne wesentliche Rücksicht auf die sonstige Gestaltung des Drucks erfolgen kann, es schadet dem Etikett nicht, wenn Schrift oder Graphik überdruckt werden. Bei kleinen Klebstoff-Kalotten und transparentem Kleber ist dies durchaus tolerierbar, anders als beim Anbringen eines Klebebandes oder Klebestreifens. Und je nach Bedarf des einzelnen Etiketts können die Klebstoff-Bereiche so gewählt werden, daß ein problemloses Zusammenfalten fast wie von allein geschehen kann - der Benutzer wird vom Produkt zum Erfolg geleitet, indem die gebildeten Falten sich nicht nur bereitwillig bilden und flach aufeinander legen, sondern auch keinerlei Tendenzen mehr zeigen, von sich aus wieder aufzugehen, sich zu beulen und zu sperren. Nicht wie Laokoon dünkt sich der Benutzer, vielmehr geht ihm, auch ungeübt, das Zusammenfalten wie von allein von der Hand.The self-adhesive for reversible bonding is preferably one which is applied in rotary screen printing in the form of dome-like adhesive sites, as is described in DE-OS 3,346,100. This has considerable advantages in manufacturing, but also advantages that are evident in the product itself and its handling. Thus, an additional printing process can be introduced into a printing line for printing corresponding label pre-material without technical problems, in which an adhesive emulsion with a high solids content, as described in the above DE-OS, is applied to predetermined areas of the label and dried. Since printing operations in the production of such labels are already familiar to the person skilled in the art, it is no problem for him to provide a further printing operation of this type also for the application of adhesive. It is a further advantage that this printing with adhesive can take place without substantial consideration of the other design of the print, it does not harm the label if the text or graphics are overprinted. With small adhesive domes and transparent adhesive, this is quite tolerable, unlike when attaching an adhesive tape or adhesive strip. And depending on the needs of the individual label, the adhesive areas can be chosen so that a problem-free folding almost like by can happen alone - the user is guided by the product to success, in that the folds formed not only readily form and lay flat on top of one another, but also show no tendencies to open again, bulge and block themselves. The user does not think like Laokoon, but rather, even inexperienced, he folds up as if by hand.

Das zusammengefaltete Etikett ist zudem nicht nur an einer Stelle klebend zugehalten, vielmehr sind seine Lagen reversibel gesichert und das ganze Gebilde macht einen geordneten, stabilen Eindruck, der selbst dann erhalten bleibt, wenn ungewollt etwa die Oberseite abgehoben werden sollte: das Etikett fällt nun nicht etwa ungeordnet auseinander, sondern hat noch immer seinen inneren Halt. An einer Flasche oder dergleichen angebracht, also an einem senkrechten Substrat, ist ein solches erfindungsgemäßes Etikett vorteilhaft so angeordnet, daß die Oberseite, also das vorderste Blatt des Etiketts, nach oben aufgeklappt werden muß. Dann ist selbst bei ungewolltem Abheben des vordersten Blatts gewährleistet, daß das Etikett als Ganzes unverändert und sauber gefaltet an dem Substrat verbleibt, ganz anders als bei solchen des Standes der Technik, die sich dann nämlich von allein entfalten würden. Dies galt es zu vermeiden.The folded label is not only held in one place, but its layers are reversibly secured and the whole structure makes an orderly, stable impression, which is retained even if the top should be lifted off unintentionally: the label now does not fall roughly apart, but still has its inner hold. Attached to a bottle or the like, that is to say to a vertical substrate, such a label according to the invention is advantageously arranged in such a way that the top side, that is to say the foremost sheet of the label, has to be opened upwards. Then, even if the foremost sheet is inadvertently lifted off, it is ensured that the label as a whole remains unchanged and folded cleanly on the substrate, quite differently from those of the prior art, which would then unfold on its own. This had to be avoided.

Als Selbstklebemasse für reversible Verklebung können aber auch andere im Stand der Technik bekannte Massen verwendet werden, z.B. die gemäß DE-PS 2.417.312 und US-PS 3.691.140 mit Klebern auf Basis eines Mikrokugel-Perlpolymerisats.However, other compositions known in the prior art can also be used as self-adhesive compositions for reversible adhesive bonding, for example those according to DE-PS 2,417,312 and US Pat. No. 3,691,140 with adhesives based on a microsphere bead polymer.

Anstelle des Rotationssiebdrucks kann als Auftragsverfahren auch aufgesprüht werden, mittels einer Sprühvorrichtung, wie sie im Handel erhältlich ist. Der Kleber ist dabei vorzugsweise der wie bevorzugt für den Siebdruck beschrieben.Instead of rotary screen printing, the application method can also be sprayed on, using a spraying device as is commercially available. The adhesive is preferably the one described as preferred for screen printing.

Als Selbstklebebmasse für die Rückseite des Etiketts werden solche mit hoher Klebkraft bevorzugt, wie sie im Handel sind und insbesondere für dauerhaft zu verklebende Etiketten eingesetzt werden. Sollte es jedoch im Einzelfall erwünscht sein, so kann auch die Rückseite des Etiketts mit einer Selbstklebemasse für reversible Verklebung ausgerüstet sein, wie dies oben näher beschrieben ist.As self-adhesive compositions for the back of the label, those with high adhesive strength are preferred, as are commercially available and are used in particular for labels to be permanently bonded. However, if it is desired in individual cases, the back of the label can also be equipped with a self-adhesive for reversible bonding, as described in more detail above.

Auch eine repulpierbare Selbstklebemasse kann auf den Innenseiten wie auch auf der Rückseite angeordnet sein, mit den dabei erzielbaren Vorteilen beim Wiederverwerten des Etiketts zur Papierherstellung.A repulpable self-adhesive composition can also be arranged on the inside as well as on the back, with the advantages that can be achieved when recycling the label for paper production.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung eines erfindungsgemäßen Etiketts ist eine solche, bei der eine weitere Seite des Etikettenheftchens dafür zur Verfügung steht, das zusammengefaltete Etikett als Abschluß-Lasche zu überdecken. Dies wird beispielsweise anhand von Fig. 5 näher erläutert.A further advantageous embodiment of a label according to the invention is one in which a further page of the label booklet is available for covering the folded label as a closing flap. This is explained in more detail, for example, with reference to FIG. 5.

Vorteilhaft kann zudem sein, eine oder mehrere der Falten mit einer perforierten Abrißlinie zu versehen. Insbesondere ist dies geeignet für Falten, die im Inneren des gefalteten Etiketts zu liegen kommen. Auch kann eine Abrißlinie lediglich angedeutet sein, um etwa mit einer Schere entlang dieser Linie zu trennen. Die abgerissene oder abgeschnittene Seite kann zudem erneut und reversibel im Etikett befestigt werden. Dazu ist entweder eine Selbstklebemasse für reversibles Verkleben auf dieser Seite angeordnet, wie oben beschrieben, oder diese Seite wird ihrerseits gefaltet und in eine Falte des Etiketts gelegt, insbesondere unter die Abschluß-Lasche. Der Kleber an der Innenseite der Abschluß-Lasche hält zugleich das Etikett geschlossen und schützt zudem die eingelegte Seite vor Herausrutschen.It can also be advantageous to provide one or more of the folds with a perforated tear line. This is particularly suitable for folds that come to rest inside the folded label. Also, a tear line can only be hinted at, for example, to cut with scissors along this line. The torn or cut side can also be attached again and reversibly in the label. To do this is either a self-adhesive for reversible gluing is arranged on this side, as described above, or this side is in turn folded and placed in a fold of the label, in particular under the end flap. The adhesive on the inside of the end flap also keeps the label closed and also protects the inserted side from slipping out.

Das faltbare Etikett gemäß Fig. 1 zeigt eine Rückseite 1, die mit Selbstklebemasse für dauerhafte oder reversiebele Verklebung beschichtet ist. Eine Papier- oder Folien-Abdeckung darauf ist nicht dargestellt. Falten 2, 3 und 4 werden von den einzelnen Seiten des Etiketts gebildet und sind nach unten geöffnet, Falten 5 und 6 sind nach oben geöffnet. Klebebereiche 7 sind auf je einer Seite der nach oben sich öffnenden Falten 5 und 6 angeordnet, im Siebdruck aufgebracht gemäß dem Beispiel der DE-OS 33 46 100. Im zusammengefalteten Zustand halten die Klebebereiche 7 das Etikett zusammen, die Oberseite 8 ist als Anfasser zugänglich.The foldable label according to FIG. 1 shows a rear side 1, which is coated with self-adhesive for permanent or reversible adhesive bonding. A paper or foil cover on it is not shown. Folds 2, 3 and 4 are formed from the individual sides of the label and are open at the bottom, folds 5 and 6 are open at the top. Adhesive areas 7 are arranged on each side of the folds 5 and 6 opening upwards, applied by screen printing according to the example DE-OS 33 46 100. In the folded state, the adhesive areas 7 hold the label together, the top 8 is accessible as a handle.

Fig. 2 zeigt das Etikett gemäß Fig. 1 in offener Form als Draufsicht. In dieser Form läßt sich dieses Etikett problemlos herstellen, wie beschrieben.FIG. 2 shows the label according to FIG. 1 in an open form as a top view. In this form, this label can be easily produced as described.

Fig. 3 zeigt eine Ausgestaltung, wie sie für die Rückseite des Etiketts gemäß Fig. 2 vorgesehen werden kann. Die weiteren Klebebereiche 7 geben dem zusammengefalteten Etikett weiteren Halt, dienen zudem auch dazu, den Vorgang des Zusammenfaltens für den Benutzer zu erleichtern, indem bei Berühren der gegenüberliegenden Seite mit dem dem Kleberbereich 7 diese Falte als gebildet bestehen bleibt und den weiteren Vorgang des Zusammenfaltens weiterer Falten nicht stört, vielmehr sogar fördert.FIG. 3 shows an embodiment as can be provided for the back of the label according to FIG. 2. The further adhesive areas 7 give the folded label further hold and also serve to facilitate the process of folding for the user, in that when the opposite side touches the adhesive area 7 this fold remains as formed and the further process of folding further Wrinkles do not bother, but actually promote.

Fig. 4 zeigt ein Etikett, angebracht an einem senkrechten Gegenstand, etwa einer Flasche, im halb ausgezogenen Zustand. Die Rückseite 1 ist an die Flasche geklebt, in den nach oben offenen Falten 9, 10 und 11 sind die Kleberbereiche 7 sichtbar, wie zuvor. Die Oberseite 8 dient als Anfasser. Diese Oberseite 8 kann, nicht dargestellt, an ihrer Rückseite zusätzlich mit einem Kleberbereich 7 ausgerüstet sein, vorzugsweise ebenfalls mittig. Schließlich kann auch in den weiteren nach unten offenen Falten 12 und 13 jeweils ein solcher Kleberbereich 7, nicht dargestellt, angeordnet sein.Fig. 4 shows a label attached to a vertical object, such as a bottle, in the half-extended state. The back 1 is glued to the bottle, in the folds 9, 10 and 11 which are open at the top, the adhesive regions 7 are visible, as before. The top 8 serves as a handle. This upper side 8, not shown, can additionally be equipped with an adhesive region 7 on its rear side, preferably also in the center. Finally, such an adhesive region 7 (not shown) can also be arranged in the further folds 12 and 13 which are open at the bottom.

In Fig. 5 ist eine Variante des Etiketts gemäß Fig. 4 dargestellt, die zusätzlich eine Abschlußlasche 14 mit Kleberbereich 7 an der Innenseite aufweist, während das Etikett im übrigen mit der Rückseite 1 angeklebt ist und wie gemäß Fig. 4 ausgestaltet ist und sein kann. Die Abschlußlasche 14 wird über das zusammengefaltete Etikett gelegt und sichert dieses Info Plus Etikett zusätzlich.FIG. 5 shows a variant of the label according to FIG. 4, which additionally has an end flap 14 with an adhesive area 7 on the inside, while the label is otherwise glued to the back 1 and how it is designed and can be according to FIG. 4. The end flap 14 is placed over the folded label and additionally secures this Info Plus label.

Diese Variante gemäß Fig. 5 kann zudem mit Abriß-Perforationen versehen sein, insbesondere an einer oder mehrerer der Falt-Kanten, so daß etwa das vorderste Blatt (in Fig. 1 nach links vorn weisend) abgerissen werden kann. Das verbleibende Etikett kann dann entweder ohne dieses eine Blatt weiter verwendet werden, oder dieses Blatt kann mittels auf ihm befindlichem Kleberbereich 7 (nicht dargestellt) in dem gefalteten Etikett reversibel gehalten werden. Soll aber dieses reversible Halten im Etikett etwa unter der Abschlußlasche 14 geschehen, so ist deren Kleberbereich 7 vorteilhaft größer ausgestaltet, als in Fig. 5 dargestellt, um dann z.B. das seinerseits gefaltete, abgetrennte Blatt unter der Abschlußlasche verschwinden zu lassen, wobei aber der Kleberbereich 7 nicht nur dieses Blatt hält, sondern auch die unter ihm liegenden Falten des dann gefalteten Etiketts.This variant according to FIG. 5 can also be provided with tear-off perforations, in particular on one or more of the folded edges, so that approximately the foremost sheet (pointing to the left in FIG. 1) can be torn off. The remaining label can then either continue to be used without this one sheet, or this sheet can be held reversibly in the folded label by means of an adhesive region 7 (not shown) located thereon.
