Definitions

  • the subject of the present invention is a stretchable labeling sleeve and a method of manufacturing such a sleeve.
  • Such sleeves are well known and are increasingly replacing the paper labels affixed to the containers, or hollow packaging such as cans, extruded or blown bottles, trays and thermoformed or injected jars. They surround the periphery of the container and, by elasticity, are applied intimately against the external wall of the container. Such sleeves allow in particular attractive decorations for the consumer.
  • the sleeves are pre-printed and generally bear the manufacturer's mark and the designation of the product contained therein. In most cases, the stretch sleeves also include legal information on the product and instructions for use, especially for chemicals. The apparent surface that it serves for decoration or for utility-type inscriptions will be called the information surface.
  • Opaque polyethylene sleeves for example white sleeves, are known on which the printing is carried out by external direct reading printing.
  • Sleeves made of transparent polyethylene are also known on which printing is carried out, according to a technique known as "poly-enamel", not on the external face of the sleeve but on the internal face of the latter and in reverse printing. Under these conditions, the information surface appears by transparency through the film and it remains protected by this film during the life of the container.
  • the present invention aims to overcome this drawback and to allow the printing of information or decorations on a larger surface than the single side surface of the container, remaining integral with it.
  • the labeling sleeve of stretchable synthetic material for a container produced by longitudinal welding of a sheet, on itself over a length substantially equal to the perimeter of a container to be labeled, the sleeves being obtained, after welding, by a cut transverse to the sheet, is characterized in that the width of the sheet is greater than the perimeter of the container to be labeled so as to form, after separation of the sleeve from the sheet, a folding flap constituting a support information whose free edge is coated with a bead of adhesive.
  • the sleeve has only one weld and is delivered in pre-cut coils, the height of the sleeve being in the direction of the coil.
  • the solder can be indexed on an angle in the case of a container with a parallelipiped section such as a can which allows four informative faces not interrupted by said welding.
  • the adhesive is permanent on one side and semi-permanent on the other, which allows the flap to be repositioned after reading.
  • This component may have, for example a length less than or equal to half the perimeter of the container. But its length can reach the length of the perimeter if necessary. During normal use, it is fixed by one of its edges to the external surface of the sleeve by a bead or adhesive tape. so that the flap can open for reading and then close. When the length of the flap is equal to half the perimeter of the container to be labeled, the area available for information is doubled.
  • the labeling sleeve is produced by printing a thermoplastic sheet, for example of stretchable polyethylene, comprises a part 1 closed by a weld 3 so that its perimeter is a few percent less than the perimeter of the container to label and a part 2 constituting the foldable flap.
  • the sheet and, of course, each of parts 1 and 2 has two faces, respectively A and B.
  • side A is the outer face and face B the inner face.
  • the flap 2 carries on its face B, near its outer edge an adhesive line 4 consisting of an adhesive transfer or a "hot melt" which provides a removable connection between said edge and part of the face A of the sleeve 1 proper.
  • the subsequent operation consists in applying to the face B corresponding to the shutter 2 an opacification layer 7 which makes it possible to isolate the impression of the shutter previously produced.
  • the opacified area receives a new impression 8 on the live opacification layer.
  • the flap can thus, although printed on only one side, be read on both sides, which doubles the useful surface thereof.
  • the printing of the sleeve 1-flap 2 assembly is always done on the only side B to be read by transparency.
  • the opacification layer for example silver or gold, allows the printing of one or more additional pieces of information, which makes possible a positive decoration on the back of said flap.
  • FIG. 5 and 6 show a sleeve according to the invention placed on a container which, in the example shown is a container.
  • the flap adheres to the sleeve 1 whereas in FIG. 5, it is detached therefrom while remaining integral by the weld 3.
  • the flap When the flap is unfolded, it releases the part 1a initially covered with the sleeve 1 which gives access to the information printed in this area of the sleeve.
  • the useful printing space has thus been multiplied by two, that is to say that it comprises: the face 1a of the sleeve and the total surface of the sleeve.
  • said flap is made of transparent polyethylene. This result is means when the length of the sleeve is equal to half the perimeter. of the container. However, other flap lengths can, of course, be adopted.
  • side B of the sleeve 1 is printed in four colors: red, yellow, blue + black and white with a spot color, in reverse to be read live by transparency.
  • the side B of the flap 2 is printed first as the side R of the sleeve 1 and then is covered by a layer of opacification (silver or gold), a white and a black. It is also possible to print on the opacification layer 8 in black on a silver background, an additional color thus being available.
  • This printing operation is carried out in one or more passes on modern machines so that the marginal cost of producing such a shutter is reduced to that of the material used (larger plastic sheet, adhesive, ink, etc.). ).
  • the sleeves are delivered to the user in rolls, the flap 2 being folded over the sleeve 1 and the sleeves being separated by precuts 5. They are detached and placed successively on the containers.
  • a component such as the one just described makes it possible to establish tracking or promotion systems that can track the life of the product.
  • the flap 2 in addition to the transverse precut 5 (FIG. 2), the flap 2 can be precut in the longitudinal direction along line 6, flush with the weld, to allow the flap to be torn off.
  • the flap in addition to the adhesive bead 4, the flap can receive adhesives on its side B so as to allow the use of said flap as a self-adhesive label or not.
  • the flap may constitute a drain identification label for petroleum products making it possible to date and record the vehicle mileage.
  • the flap may constitute a drain identification label for petroleum products making it possible to date and record the vehicle mileage.
  • dairy products it is thus possible to organize contests or promotions by returning the component to the manufacturer.
  • the present invention can, of course, be implemented with opaque polyethylene, only one side of the flap being printed, the useful surface not being increased, in this case only 50% of the lateral surface of the container.
