Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing plastic labels with self-adhesive pattern, and attaching such labels such that they are enfolding a can, in accordance with the preamble of claim 1 and as known from DE 10 2006 038 249 A1 .
  • Methods that are already known comprise the step of printing a plastic foil by using an analogue contact pressing technique and using plates or rolls that are pressed against the foil, for example in a relief printing, flexographic print and/or offset and intaglio print.
  • the plastic foil is formed as a wide band, whereby prints are printed successively on the wide band along the widthwise direction of this wide band, similar to the method for a label, and whereby the side edges of the label prints are aligned along the lengthwise direction of the band.
  • a first disadvantage of such known method is that it is not very suitable to manufacture a smaller number of labels or labels of which the print is variable, for example, because each label has to be provided with a separate serial number, batch number, variable code, or the like.
  • This band is radially pulled open in order to slide the band over the can in the axial direction, after which the band again returns to its original form, due to its elasticity, and stretches around the can.
  • the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing plastic labels with a self-adhesive pattern, and attaching such labels around a can, whereby, after attaching a label around a can, a side edge of the label is overlapped by another part of the label, the method further comprising at least the following steps:
  • a first advantage of this method according to the invention is that a digital printing technique is used.
  • Such printing techniques without printing plates or printing cylinders, are cheaper and allow the print on the labels to be adjusted in a very flexible way, without having to use long lasting and expensive procedures, due to the fact that the print can be adjusted softwarewise.
  • Another advantage of a method according to the invention is that it is suitable for very small to intermediate numbers of labels, because there is no need to produce plates, or the like, for printing.
  • Printing digitally is less expensive compared to printing traditionally.
  • the method according to the invention allows the labels to be attached to a can in a practical, continuous and quick way.
  • FIG 1 a first step of a known method for manufacturing plastic labels, and attaching such labels to a can is shown schematically.
  • an analogue contact printing technique whereby prints 3 corresponding to a label are printed on the wide band 2 by the contact between a printing cylinder 1 and a plastic foil in the form of a wide band 2.
  • the side edges 4 of the consecutive label prints 3 on the foil 2 are aligned according to the lengthwise direction L of the wide band 2.
  • the side edges 4 of a label 5 are defined as the edges 4 of the label 5 meant to be extended along the axial direction AA' of a can 6, with regular use use of the label 5, and after attaching the label 5 to the can 6.
  • Figure 2 shows schematically that with the known methods, after cutting off or tearing away a label 5 of the foil 2, a following step comprises interconnecting said side edges 4 of the label 5, for example by glueing or melting them together, such that a label 5 in the form of a closed band is obtained.
  • the label 5 in the form of a band, will be stretched in the radial direction RR', in order to move it in the axial direction AA' over the can 6.
  • the label 5 is positioned between two annular ridges 7, and then the step of stretching the label 5 radially is ended due to its elasticity, and the label 5 again returns to its original dimensions due to its elasticity and is thus tightened around the can 6.
  • ridges 7 sometimes a recessed plane in the can 6 is used, in which the label 5 is positioned.
  • a first step of a method according to the invention is represented in figure 5 and comprises imprinting a plastic foil in the form of a elongated strip 8 using a digital printing technique.
  • a digital printer 9 controlled by a controlling system 10 may be used.
  • a contactless printing technique is used for printing the plastic foil 8, for example by means of an inkjet-printer 9.
  • An advantage of using a digital printing technique is that the images to be printed on the labels 5 are able to be prepared and adjusted using software of the controlling system 10, as a result of which a lot of time can be saved and the costs can be lowered strongly.
  • prints 3 corresponding to a label 5 are printed successively along the lengthwise direction L' of the strip 8.
  • the side edges 4 of consecutive label prints 3 on the strip 8 are situated at right angles, along the direction P crosswise to the lengthwise direction L' of the strip.
  • an adhesive 11 is applied on the plastic foil 8, in order to obtain self-adhesive labels 5.
  • this adhesive 11 is applied to parts of the plastic foil 8 that are not imprinted or not be imprinted.
  • Applying the adhesive 11 may be carried out before printing the foil 8, but also after the foil 8 has been printed.
  • said adhesive 11 is a detachable thermoplastic adhesive substance 11.
  • the adhesive 11 is also such that a good adherence is obtained between the plastic foil 8 and a can 6, while the plastic foil 8 may be removed easily from the can 6 without leaving traces of adhesive 11 on the can 6.
  • a method according to the invention also comprises an additional step, comprising, after printing, applying a layer on at least one part of the prints 3, in order to avoid adherence of the adhesive 11 to the prints 3.
  • a silicone or wax layer 12 may be used.
  • This step is also represented schematically in figure 5 .
  • the intention of attaching such layer 12 is that it is possible to roll the long strip 8, after applying the adhesive 11, into a roll 13, as represented in figure 6 .
  • said layer 12 avoids that the adjacent parts forming the roll 13 will start to adhere to each other.
  • a first step comprises to unroll a free end of the plastic foil 8 of the roll 13 to enfold the can 6 with at least a length corresponding to the circumference of the can 6.
  • the intention of the invention in fact is that after enfolding the can 6 using this part of the foil 8 with length E an aforementioned side edge 4 of a label print 3 is overlapped by another part 14 of the plastic foil.
  • the side edge 4 and the overlapping part 14 of the plastic foil 8 are preferably interconnected in one movement during enfolding by means of this adhesive 11.
  • a label 5 is cut off from the roll 13 using cutting means 15, for example in the form of a knife or a laser, or the like, whereby a part of the plastic foil 8 is cut off corresponding to the length E of a label 5.
  • the label 5 is cut off at a certain distance F from the overlapping part 14 and the side edge 4 of the plastic foil 8, whereby initially the label 5 is provided with a flap 16.
  • this flap 16 at its free edge 17 is provided with an adhesive-free strip or an adhesive-free part, such that the flap 16 can be teared-off easily from the rest of the label 5 or the label 5 can be teared-off easily from the can 6.
  • this flap 16 may be provided on one side or on both sides with a print, as represented schematically in figure 9 .
  • Another interesting step of a method according to the invention is the application of perforations through the plastic foil 8 forming a tear-out strip 18 in a label 5.
  • tear-out strip 18 is also represented in figure 9 and may for example be used for the traceability of the product in the tins 6 or of empty tins 6.
  • a tear-away strip may be used that, for example, can be formed as a flap 16 and whereby a perforation line 19 is provided at the side edge of the flap 16 in order to tear away the flap 16 easily.
  • Such a perforation line 19 is represented in figure 8 by way of example.
  • plastic foil 8 is stretchable in order to be able to follow expansion and shrinkage of a can 6 onto which the plastic foil 8 is adhered when temperature changes.
