Definitions

  • the present invention relates to label sheets. More particularly, the present invention relates to a design for label sheets in which the labels may be easily removed.
  • some combinations of materials such as a thin or flexible face and thick paper liner can be difficult to die cut without cutting into the liner.
  • the die cut extends into the liner, the user can accidentally tear off a section of the liner in the process of removing the label from the liner.
  • U.S. Patent No. 5,788,284 issued to Hirst discloses a label strip with a cut running down the centerline of the release liner and underneath the center of the individual labels, The label strip moves over a V-shaped notch in a separator plate, thereby automatically separating the labels from the release liner.
  • U.S. Patent No. 5,182,152 issued to Ericson discloses a Bible index label dispensing sheet having a weakened line in the backing and fold lines in the individual labels.
  • a release strip overlies the weakened backing line on one side of each horizontal row of labels.
  • the release strip acts as an adhesive tape to prevent premature rupture of the sheet. The user grasps and pulls away the release strip, and tears off the backing from a portion of the horizontal row of labels.
  • WO 01/84550 discloses six die-cut CD-ROM labels provided on a sheet backing in a vertical pattern with labels offset from a scored or perforated centerline of the other three. Each set of three is spaced from the outer edges of the sheet and by folding the sheet in half and removing a corner tab an adhesive edge of one of the labels is exposed which can be applied to a disk manually held on a printed outline of the disk on the back of the sheet. Vertical die cuts are provided in the backing which are contiguous with micro-perforated tear lines in the sheet.
  • WO 99/31644 discloses a label assembly comprising a support sheet of a paper material or paper-like material an adhesive coating of a non-permanent adhesive material applied to one side of the support sheet, and a printing paper of a paper material or paper-like material defining opposite front and rear surfaces.
  • the rear surface of the printing paper is releasably fixated to the support sheet in facial contact therewith through the adhesive coating and the printing paper is divided into individual paper labels or paper tags which are individually removable from the support sheet
  • the support sheet is divided into individual support sheet sections.
  • the label assembly is readily printable in a laser jet or any similar printing machine such as an ink jet printer or a type-writer.
  • the present invention provides a label sheet assembly which may be fed through a printer such as a laser printer, an ink jet printer, or other printer attached to a personal computer, for desktop printability. Thereafter, a narrow strip of the release liner can be tom off in a single motion. This exposes a narrow strip of each label within a row or column of labels, allowing the labels to be easily removed and placed on some other object or substrate one-by-one.
  • a label sheet which has a border or matrix surrounding the labels and/or running between the labels or portions of the labels, both the release liner and the matrix have weakened separation lines therein. The separation lines are formed by a series of cuts and ties in the release liner and in the matrix.
  • the ties are preferably strongest near the edges of the sheet and weaker in the interior portion of the sheet. This allows the sheet to resist tearing along the weakened separation lines due to normal handling or printing in the printer, but once the tearing has begun the tearing continues easily until an entire strip of the release liner has been stripped away.
  • a notch is preferably formed in a release liner and the matrix if applicable at each end of the weakened separation line. The notch is aligned with the weakened separation lines in both the liner and in the matrix. The notch helps to ensure that tearing will begin along the weakened separation lines.
  • the two separation lines are sufficiently close together that the user can tear away the strip of release liner from the remainder of the sheet in a single motion without having to remove a separate release strip, and the tearing, once begun, will continue until the release liner is torn entirely away from the remainder of the sheet.
  • the size of the cuts and the size of the ties are chosen so that the assembly is strong enough to be fed through a printer such as a laser printer or an ink jet printer, but weak enough so that the user can tear off the release liner strip along the separation line in an easy and fluid motion without any other mechanical preparation of the label sheet between the printing and the tearing steps.
  • the ratio of cut length to overall separation line length is greater than 95% to ensure ease of separation.
  • the separation line lies approximately 0.6 centimeters (approximately 1 ⁇ 2 inch) from the edge of a column or column of labels. In this way there is sufficient overhang of the exposed portion of the labels that a user can easily grasp the labels, but a sheet of labels which has had one column or column of labels partially exposed will not have so much exposed adhesive area that the label sheet will readily stick to a desk or other surface on which the label sheet is placed.
  • the invention is of a label sheet assembly modified for easy removal of labels by hand, comprising a release liner and a sheet of facestock material releasably adhered to the release liner, the facestock material including at least a first column of labels formed therein and a matrix at least partially bordering the labels, wherein a first weakened separation line is formed in the release liner below the column of labels and offset from a center of the column of labels toward an edge of the labels, and a second weakened separation line is formed in the matrix running generally parallel to the first weakened separation line.
  • the release liner has a notch aligned with the two weakened separation lines, and preferably a notch at either end of the separation lines.
  • the weakened separation lines are offset from each other by a short distance so that a user can tear off a strip of the liner and a strip of the matrix in a single motion leaving each label within the column of labels with a portion of its liner removed, thereby allowing easy removal of the labels from the label sheet assembly after the tearing operation without the need for the user to perform any other physical preparation of the label sheet between the printing and tearing operations.
  • the weakened separation lines are preferably formed by cuts and ties in the liners and cuts and ties in the matrix when present, with the strongest of the ties being positioned next to the edges of the assembly or the notch when present.
  • the sheet has a weakened separation line in the liner and in the matrix when present below each column of labels.
  • FIG. 1 shows label sheet assembly 10 in which the labels can be easily peeled according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
  • the label assembly 10 is preferably of an overall standard size such as 8-1/2 inches by 11 inches, or A4 (approximately 21 cm x 29.7 cm), or 4 inches by 6 inches, or other size compatible with standard printers used with personal computers.
  • Assembly 10 includes a release liner sheet or simply release liner 16 with a sheet of facestock material releasably adhered thereto via a pressure sensitive adhesive.
  • the release liner 16 is coated with a thin layer of release material such as silicone, or is otherwise constructed or treated such that the labels can be easily removed therefrom.
  • the sheet of facestock material comprises a generally rectangular sheet of paper or film facestock with a plurality of labels 12 formed therein such as by die cutting.
  • the section of the facestock sheet not used for labels constitutes the border or matrix 14.
  • the facestock sheet is shown smaller than the release liner 16, although it is not necessary that the facestock sheet be smaller than the release liner.
  • the assembly 10 is shown with a matrix, it is not necessary for the invention that the label assembly 10 includes a matrix 14 surrounding and/or between labels 12.
  • FIG. 2 shows a close up of the lower right hand corner of the label assembly 10 of FIG. 1 .
  • the matrix 14 has a weakened separation line 20 formed therein near one edge of the column of labels.
  • Matrix separation line 20 includes a plurality of cuts 22 and a plurality of small ties 24.
  • the liner includes a weakened separation line 30 which is shown in phantom in FIG. 2 .
  • This weakened separation line or liner separation line 30 runs generally from one edge of the assembly 10 to an opposite edge of the assembly 10 and runs preferably linearly beneath labels 12 along a column of labels, near an edge of the labels.
  • liner separation line 30 runs less than one centimeter from the edge of the labels, and more preferably approximately 0.6 centimeters (approximately 1 ⁇ 4 inch) from the edge of the labels.
  • Liner separation line 30 is shown running vertically underneath a column of labels; however, the assembly can alternatively be constructed such that the separation lines run horizontally beneath a row of labels.
  • Liner 16 also optionally includes a notch 18 generally in alignment with the liner separation line 30 and the cuts and ties 22/24 in matrix 14. As shown in FIG. 1 , a similar structure of weakened separation lines and notches is created at the top right hand corner of the assembly.
  • assembly 10 includes two other sets of weakened separation lines and notches, one set for each column of labels with the weakened separation lines running underneath the column of labels at approximately 0.6 centimeters from one edge thereof. If the assembly 10 had been laid out to include a different number of columns of labels, e.g. two columns, four columns, five columns, etc., the assembly would include a corresponding number of sets of separation lines and notches. Arrows printed on the facestock material instruct or encourage the user to begin tearing the assembly at notches 18. Alternatively, other instructional indicia or written instructions, such as the words "Tear Here" or the like, could be printed on the assembly.
  • the distance between liner separation line 30 and the cuts and ties 22/24 in the matrix which form matrix separation line 20 is exaggerated in the figures for illustration purposes.
  • the separation lines in the liner and in the matrix are preferably placed close enough together such that, after assembly 10 has been printed on by a printer, a user can tear off the strip 26 of liner and matrix as illustrated in FIG. 4 in a single fluid motion without any further physical preparation of assembly 10 being required between the printing and the tearing steps.
  • the separation lines are slightly separated so that the portion of the matrix overtying liner separation line 30 helps to keep liner 16 from prematurely tearing, and the portion of the liner underneath matrix separation line 20 helps to keep the matrix from prematurely tearing.
  • the two separation lines are preferably offset by enough distance such that normal manufacturing tolerances are unlikely to produce a cut-on-cut situation.
  • matrix separation line 20 is offset the liner separation line 30 by less than 5 mm; more preferably, the two are separated by less than 2 mm; more preferably still, the two are separated by less than 1 mm.
  • FIG. 3 shows the back side of the lower right hand corner of the label assembly 10 illustrated in FIG. 2 .
  • Liner separation line 30 is illustrated in greater detail. It includes a plurality of cuts 32, and plurality of ties 36 and 38. In the embodiment shown two small ties 36 lie underneath the matrix, and one small tie 38 lies underneath each label 12. The particular locations of the ties are not critical. Additionally, release liner 16 includes a large tie 31 near notch 18 or, if no notch is present, near the edge of release liner 16.
  • Both the matrix separation line 20 and the liner separation line 30 run parallel to the edge of a column of labels and disposed about 0.6 centimeters from the edge of the column.
  • the exact distance is not critical.
  • the separation lines are offset from the edge of the column of labels far enough so that when strip 26 is removed labels 12 can be easily grasped and removed by the user.
  • the separation lines are close enough to the edge of the labels such that when strip 26 is removed a narrow enough edge of the labels is exposed so that when the label sheet is placed onto a table or similar surface, the exposed edge of the unremoved labels 12 do not easily and inadvertently stick to the table.
  • FIG. 4 shows one method of using the label sheet assembly of FIG. 1 .
  • the upper right hand corner of label assembly 10 has a structure that is the mirror image of the structure shown in FIG. 2 , with corresponding parts having the same reference designators.
  • the user grasps one corner of label assembly 10 at approximately position 27 with one thumb and forefinger, and with the other thumb and forefinger grasps the narrow strip 26 of release liner and matrix so as to focus the shear forces at notch 18 and large tie 31, and begins tearing strip 26 away from the rest of the sheet.
  • FIG. 6 shows a second method of using label sheet assembly 10 of FIG. 1 .
  • the assembly includes three sets of vertical separation lines, one set of separation lines associated with each column of labels.
  • the separation lines divide the assembly into three individual portions 40, 50 and 60 which may be individually separated from each other.
  • the left hand portion 40 has been separated from the center portion 50 and right hand portion 60.
  • the labels within left hand portion 40 are now ready to be easily peeled one by one from the liner and applied to envelopes or other substrate. Sections 50 and 60 do not have any portions of the labels with their adhesive sides exposed. Thus, portions 50 and 60 can be handled and/or stored for later use without any degradation of the adhesive on the backs of those labels. Remaining portion 50/60 could even be fed through a printer for later printing.
  • the user could run assembly 10 through the printer and print only on labels within the column of labels in section 40. The user would then separate section 40 and use the labels within that section. Remaining sections 50/60 would be stored for later use.
  • the label assembly could be fed through the printer beginning with the right hand edge of section 60.
  • the software could be instructed to shift the printing of labels over to the right slightly from the normal position, such that section 50/60 could be fed through the printer beginning with the left hand side of section 50.
  • the software could be commanded to make such an adjustment by a selectable software switch or option.
  • a first column of labels 40 could be printed, tom off, and used; at a later time a second column of labels 50 could be printed, tom off, and used; and at a later time still a third column of labels 60 could be printed and used.
  • the labels on the label sheet need not be generally rectangular in shape and butting against each other as in the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1 .
  • the labels could be virtually any shape and could be completely separated from each other by matrix therebetween or by bare liner.
  • FIG. 7 shows one such possibility in which the labels are round and slightly separated one from another.
  • the size of the cuts and the size of the ties are chosen so that the assembly is strong enough to be fed through a printer such as a laser printer or an ink jet printer, but weak enough so that the user can tear off the release liner strip along the separation line in an easy and fluid motion without any other mechanical preparation of the label sheet between the printing and the tearing steps.
  • the ratio of cut length to overall separation line length is greater than 95% to ensure ease of separation.
  • FIG. 8 shows a third embodiment similar to the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 , except that the label assembly does not include notches.
  • the facestock material is slightly smaller than the liner 16 such that matrix 14 does not extend to the edge of the label assembly. If the facestock were to extend to the edge of the label sheet, it would be desirable to form notch 18 in both matrix 14 and liner 16.
  • the label assembly would not even include a matrix bordering the labels.
  • matrix 14 could be entirely stripped from the label sheet before the product is sold.
  • the entire sheet of facestock material could be die cut such that the entirety of the facestock material formed labels.
  • the facestock material could either take up the same amount of facestock area shown in FIG. 1 , or a significantly smaller area.
  • a label sheet without a matrix could still employ the present invention so that a narrow strip of liner material could be easily removed in a fluid motion from a number of labels at a single time, thus exposing a minor portion of those labels so that they could thereafter be easily removed from the remaining portion of the liner.
  • the label sheet could be symmetrical.
  • a label sheet could include two columns of labels. For the right hand column of labels, separation lines would be offset slightly from the right hand edge of that right hand column of labels, and for the left hand column of labels, separation lines would be offset slightly from that left hand edge of the left hand column of labels.
  • the present invention can be used with various types and media of labels such as metallic foil, clear plastic, MOLAR®, and other well known materials.
  • the labels could be colored or clear, and could contain pre-printed indicia such as text, two dimensional graphic or photographic images, or holographic images.
  • the invention could be used with a variety of printing devices including but not limited to printers for use with a personal computer.
  • the present invention is well suited for applications in which the labels will be individually removed by hand. However, the invention is not limited to hand use.
  • the invention could be used with automated machinery for tearing strip 26 away and thereafter placing labels 12 on a substrate.
  • the invention could also be used in applications in which a plurality of labels are to be positioned over one or more substrate objects and applied thereto as a group in the same relative positions on which those labels are found on label assembly 10.
  • the weakened separation lines could be formed by various known methods.
  • the weakened separation lines are generally linear and parallel, but need not be strictly linear or strictly parallel. Accordingly, it is to be understood that the detailed description and the accompanying drawings as set forth hereinabove are not intended to limit the breadth of the present invention, which should be inferred only from the following claims and their appropriately construed legal equivalents.
