Abstract

The invention relates to a wet-adhesive label stamping tool, by means of which a stamping contour region (5) can be created on a container wet-adhesive label (1) having a substrate (2). The problem addressed by the invention is that of creating a stamping contour region (5) that is largely maintained despite the application of the wet adhesive to the substrate, despite the application of the container wet-adhesive label to a bottle, and despite the drying of the container wet-adhesive label having the wet adhesive on the bottle, in order to create an optical or tactile effect of a region stamped in relief. This problem is solved, according to the invention, in that the stamping contour region (5) of the wet-adhesive label stamping tool is equipped with a stamping contour partial region (12) having a contour angle (14) to the main plane of extent (13) of at least 45°.

TANK wet glue label,

WET GLUE LABELING TOOL FOR A CONTAINER WET GLUE LABEL AND

CONTAINER OR BOTTLE WITH A CONTAINER WET GLUE LIQUET

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to a container wet glue with a relief-like embossing, which is intended in particular as a bottle wet glue for bottles such as beer bottles, wine bottles, bottles for spirits or non-alcoholic drinks or containers such as beverage cans or spray cans or cups. Furthermore, the invention relates to a container or a bottle with such a container wet glue label. Finally, the invention also relates to a wet glue label embossing tool, in particular a die and / or male, by means of which container wet glue labels with a kind of relief can be produced.

STATE OF THE ART

From the non-prepublished patent applications GB 1 41 1 146.2 and GB 1 419 890.7 of the applicant, a container wet glue is known in which egg n Su bstrat is provided on the back with wet glue and which is then glued with the wet glue on a bottle. In order to improve the visual appearance and / or the tactile action of the container wet-glue, the substrate is embossed prior to the application of the wet-glue, so that the visual appearance and tactile action of the container wet-glue-on-label in addition to the material choice of the substrate and the Printing can be influenced by a kind of relief. A problem that is described in these patent applications that, in particular for a substrate with cellulose fibers such as paper, the application of the wet glue can lead to an impairment of the embossing or relief-like structure of the container wet glue, which also the desired optical effect and the tactile effect is impaired. As a remedy, it is proposed that the wet glue is prevented from making contact with the embossed areas of the substrate. This can be ensured according to a first proposal in that the wet glue is applied to the substrate exclusively off the embossing. By way of example, the application of the wet glue may take place via the contact of the substrate with a contact partner coated with the wet glue, for example a roller or a so-called glue or adhesive pallet, wherein the contact partner has a depression in the area of contact with the embossments, so that here no Contact and thus no application of the wet glue takes place. For another proposal, in the area of the embossings, the back side of the substrate is provided with a water-impermeable layer before application of the wet glue. Even with full application of the wet glue to the substrate, the water-impermeable layer prevents the wet glue from coming into contact with the imprints of the substrate. Such a water-impermeable layer may for example consist of a paint with or without a wax component. In particular, the use of a substrate made of paper, cellulose fibers and / or a substrate with a water-permeable film material is proposed. For a water-impermeable layer, in particular, a layer with a low water-vapor transmission rate (WVTR), in particular with a WVTR <10 g / m ² / day or WVTR <5 g / m ² / day. For example, the wet glue may be applied to the substrate at 15-20 g / m ² , which may include about 50% water (± 10%). Possible components of the wet glue are plant glue, resin cement, animal glue, protein glue, latex cement, starch glue, dextrin glue, casein glue, EVA, PVA, non-casein-based polymeric glues such as synthetic glues or adhesives including those with acrylates as a binder. It is also possible that the front side of the substrate (completely or only in some areas) is provided with a water-impermeable layer, which is considered to be advantageous in terms of maintaining the embossing, especially in stacking, stocking and further processing of the container wet glue labels. In this case, the water-impermeable layer on the front side may also be formed with water-impermeable ink. In the case of using a paper substrate, starches may be between 50 g / m ² and 300 g / m ² , preferably between 60 g / m ² and 120 g / m ² or between 60 g / m ² and 90 g / m ² , be used.

DE 10 2008 023 653 A1 relates to a label adhesively bonded to a container such as a bottle. The label is designed to be two-sided with an external, too printing layer, which consists in particular of paper or cardboard, and an inner layer, which is preferably a stamping foil. The label is embossed three-dimensionally between a die and a patrix. DE 10 2008 023 653 A1 describes the problem that the quality of the embossed three-dimensional relief suffers as a result of the wet-out of a pure paper label. According to DE 10 2008 023 653 A1, the inner layer, which is insoluble relative to the adhesive, should avoid moisture penetration of the outer layer of paper. Letters, words, graphic patterns or pictures can be embossed. We further suggest that only the recessed portions of the embossment facing the bottle are provided with the layer insoluble relative to the adhesive. The additional inner layer may also be an embossing foil, which is initially arranged on a carrier foil. In this case, a separating layer (wax), a decorative varnish (resin), a metallization (aluminum) and an adhesive layer (hot-melt adhesive) may be arranged on the carrier film. Here, the embossing film is used (as opposed to conventional embossing labels) as a counter embossing on the inside of the label. DE 20 2004 002 207 U1 relates to a wet glue label for a container, such as a reusable bottle, which has a stretched plastic film which shrinks back to release the label from the bottle under the action of heat. DE 20 2004 002 207 U1 proposes that the glue side of the label is made larger in area. Here, a mechanical or chemical roughening, a surface enlarging embossing or fine embossing can be used, with an embossing depth of <20 μηη is preferred, which may be approximated to the thickness of the plastic film. By means of this surface enlarging structuring a better adhesion of the label to the bottle is to be achieved, while embossed recesses should be filled with glue, so that the flächenvergrößernde structuring should not be visually visible. It is also possible to impress a rib or groove pattern with widths of the ribs of <1 mm or <2 mm in order to improve the penetration of the washing liquid. Preferably, despite the formation of the embossments on the underside of the label, the top of the label should be substantially smooth or wavy. The top of the label may have a decorative imprint, a liner or other shrink film layers. It is also possible that the glue side of the label is provided with a rough and matt lacquer layer. The label may be perforated permeable to air and vapor. It is also possible that the label is provided on the glue side with a moisture absorbing the glue layer. This may be an open-pore foamed plastic layer or an absorbent, swelling layer. Use finds a stretched plastic film with a thickness in the range of 50 to 80 μηη, while the wet glue is applied with a thickness of 20 to 50 μηη. The material used for the thermally shrinking plastic film is PET, PS, PVC or PP.

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a container wet-glue label or bottle or container with a wet-glue label container in which an embossed contoured portion of a substrate wet-end label substrate is optically and / or tactually impacted of the embossed area and / or the durability of the embossed area is improved. Furthermore, the object of the invention is to propose a wet glue label embossing tool, in particular a die and / or a male, by means of which it is possible to produce a correspondingly improved container wet glue label.

SOLUTION

The object of the invention is achieved with the features of the independent claims. Further preferred embodiments according to the invention can be found in the dependent claims.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The invention is based on the recognition that after production of a substrate of a label with a desired embossed area and after subsequent application of the wet glue to the substrate,

Application of the container wet glue on a (eg wet or dry, cold or warm) bottle and

Drying of the container wet glue and wet glue on the bottle

(These steps are also collectively referred to below as the "application process") the optical and tactile effect of the embossed area is no longer desired. For example, part or even most of an embossing depth brought about during the embossing process is removed again at the end of the application process. One suspected cause of this is that, when the substrate is formed with cellulose fibers, the fibers absorb the moisture of the wet glue upon exposure of the substrate to the wet glue, which can result in expansion of the fibers and thus of the substrate. When the container wet-glue label is applied to the bottle in this wet expanded state, subsequent drying results in contraction of the fibers and thus of the substrate. While, on the one hand, such contraction of the fibers is desired to eliminate wrinkles of the container wet-end label remaining after application of the container wet glue to the bottle, the contraction also leads to the undesirable effect of previously produced relief-like embossed areas of the substrate, at least partially "smoothed" or "leveled". It is also possible that the wet container wet glue is applied under pressure, such as a brush, to the bottle, which u. U. relief-like embossed areas are pushed out.

In the following description of the invention, a distinction is made between an initial contour area,

a stamping contour area as well

a displaced contour region of the stamping contour. In this case, the initial contour region describes the contour region of the substrate, which neither changes its shape nor is displaced during the embossing process and which has no embossing depth. The embossing contour area describes the area in which, during embossing, a plastic deformation of the substrate takes place, in which the embossing depth changes and in which the substrate is inclined as a result of the embossing, wherein the inclination of the substrate can also change in the embossing contour area. Finally, the displaced contour region denotes a contour region which itself does not change its shape during embossing, but which is displaced with the embossing depth, which is generated by the adjacent embossing contour region, with respect to the starting contour region.

The invention proposes that a wet glue label embossing tool for a container wet glue glue having a substrate having a stamping contour region. The embossing contour Area is inclined here with respect to the main extension plane. According to the invention, the stamping contour region has a stamping contour subregion. This stamping contour subarea has a contour angle of at least 45 ° with respect to the main extension plane of the wet glue stamp embossing tool. Experiments underlying the invention have shown that with the choice of such a contour angle, the durability of the embossed region of the container wet glue can be increased and also remains an embossed area after the application process, which satisfies the optical and tactile requirements better than container wet glue labels, the have been prepared with wet glue glue embossing tools according to the prior art, in particular because a larger embossing depth remains. Possibly, the reason for this is that with the selection of a stamping contour partial area with a contour angle of at least 45 °, a relatively large deformation of the substrate takes place, which also results in a relatively large plastic elongation of the contour of the substrate in the stamping contour area during the stamping process. The embossing and embossing depth remaining after the drying of the container wet glue is dependent on the difference between the extension of the contour of the substrate during embossing and the contraction of the substrate during the subsequent application and drying process. Thus, by increasing the elongation of the substrate during the embossing process by choosing an advantageous contour angle of the wet glue label embossing tool, the optical and tactile effect of the container wet glue glue can be improved at the end of the application process.

In principle, an arbitrary contour angle can be used, provided that this is at least 45 ° in relation to the main extension plane. However, further investigations of the invention have led to the result that u. On the one hand, the largest possible contour angle is desired for the reasons explained above for the largest possible extension of the embossing contour area during embossing.

On the other hand, increases with the increase in the contour angle u. U. also the tendency of the substrate to tear or break during the embossing process or during subsequent processing, so that rather a small contour angle would have to be sought to avoid cracking or breaking. The choice of contour angle also affects a stack density of several container wet glue labels in a stack: for a theoretical contour angle of 90 °, the container wet glue labels can no longer be stacked directly on top of one another from the front of the container wet glue label Embossing projection occurs in a corresponding embossing depression of the in the

Stack adjacent container wet glue sets, which would reduce stack density. By reducing the angle to the extreme theoretical contour angle of 90 °, the stack density can be increased.

According to the invention, it has been found that the described conflict of objectives can be taken into account particularly well when the contour angle is in the range of 45 ° to 55 °, in particular in the range of 48 ° to 52 °. The above-described measures were primarily focused on the extent of the shape change and extension of the embossing contour area during embossing of the container wet glue with the wet glue label embossing tool in order to keep the remaining embossing depth as large as possible. Further investigations have led to the conclusion that it is particularly advantageous if a transition from the initial contour region to the embossing contour region occurs via a bend. It could be found that such a kink remains at the said transition at the end of the machining process and is visually and tactually easy to grasp, even if u. U. an embossing depth is reduced during drying as a result of the contraction. In some cases, such a kink at the transition is also advantageous for obtaining the largest possible embossing depth after drying of the container wet glue on the bottle. It is also possible to use a wet glue label embossing tool with a crease of the embossing contour area at the junction to remove the container wet glue label after removal from the wet glue label by adding a wet glue label embossing tool. Embossing tool has no kink at the transition. Basically, the embossing contour portion whose contour angle is at least 45 ° and in particular in the range of 45 ° to 55 ° or in the range of 48 ° to 52 °, to lie any point of the embossing contour area. For a particular proposal, this stamping contour partial area directly adjoins the bend with the previously specified contour angle.

It is possible that the embossing contour area also transits with a bend to a displaced contour area. For a particular proposal according to the invention, however, the embossing contour region passes without kinking into a displaced contour region, which has proven particularly advantageous with regard to the optical and tactile effect of the container wet glue label.

Further embodiments of the invention have concrete embodiments of the embossing contour the subject:

According to a first proposal, the displaced contour region has an embossing depth in the range of 0.200 mm to 0.260 mm from the unembossed starting contour region. Alternatively or additionally, it is possible for the stamping contour area in the main plane of extent to have an extension which is in the range of 0.300 mm and 0.400 mm.

It is possible here that the stamping contour area begins with a bend and an adjoining contour angle in the range of 48 ° to 52 °. In this case, the embossing contour area has a distance from the kink in the main plane of extension of 0, 1998 mm ± 10% an embossing depth of 0.204 mm ± 10%, an embossing depth of 0.228 mm at a corresponding distance of 0.277 mm ± 10% ± 10% and a corresponding distance of 0,338 mm ± 10% an embossing depth of 0,230 mm ± 10%.

For a second embodiment, the displaced contour region has an embossing depth in the range of 0.120 mm to 0.160 mm from the unembossed starting contour region. Alternatively or cumulatively, it is possible for the embossing contour region in the main extension plane to have an extension which lies in the range of 0.115 mm and 0.210 mm. It is possible here that the embossing contour region begins with a bend and an adjoining contour angle in the range from 48 ° to 52 °, while the embossing contour region at a distance from the bend in the main plane of extension of 0.096 mm ± 10% has an embossing depth of 0.096 mm ± 10 % has an embossing depth of 0.140 mm ± 10% at a corresponding distance of 0.197 mm ± 10%.

For a third embodiment, the displaced contour region has an embossing depth in the range of 0.190 mm to 0.230 mm from the unembossed starting contour region. Alternatively or cumulatively, it is possible for the embossing contour region in the main extension plane to have an extension which is in the range of 0.250 mm and 0.280 mm.

It is possible here that the embossing contour region begins with a bend and a subsequent contour angle in the range of 48 ° to 52 °, while the embossing contour region at a distance from the bend in the main extension plane of 0.134 mm ± 10% has an embossing depth of 0.141 mm ± 10 % and at a corresponding distance of 0.262 mm ± 10% has an embossing depth of 0.210 mm ± 10%.

For a further proposal of the invention, a displaced contour region is arranged between two stamping contour regions oriented in different directions, with which in particular boundaries of an embossed region are formed. This is to be explained, for example, based on the embossing of lines or numbers such as letters or numbers: The embossed contour areas oriented in different directions, in particular the kinks at the transition from the starting contour area to the embossing contour area, form the lateral boundaries for specifying the "line width" of the lines or digits. By contrast, the line width is formed with the displaced contour area. It is possible that the line width is constant, so that the two oriented in different directions embossing contour areas have a constant distance with a displaced contour area between them, whose length does not change in the extension direction of the stroke. In the event that a changing line width is desired, the lateral boundary of the line is further formed with the two oriented in different directions embossing contour areas, without changing their contouring. It then changes along the line for changing the line thickness the length of the displaced contour area. However, it is also possible that different stamping contour areas are provided for lines or numbers with different line thicknesses and / or sizes, the stamping contour areas for lines and / or numerals having different line thicknesses and / or sizes then being formed by different extensions of the stamping contour areas in the main area. differ in the extension level. This can be the case for the same or different contour angles, wherein preferably the contour angle is in the range of 48 ° to 52 °. It is then possible for the different stamping contour areas to differ depending on the line thickness and / or size also due to the different stamping depths in the stamping contour areas. Preferably, for larger line widths and / or larger numbers, larger extensions of the embossing contour areas in the main extension plane are used than for smaller line widths or smaller numbers.

For a further inventive solution in which the wet glue label embossing tool for the container wet glue label may be formed as previously discussed, a plurality of embossed regions are juxtaposed in the manner of a waffle pattern. This can thus be the "density" of the embossing contours and the deformations are increased and thus the extension of the container wet glue as a result of embossing, based on the area increased. Here, the wording includes that several embossed regions are arranged next to one another in the manner of a waffle pattern, both the arrangement of several embossing regions next to one another along a straight line or curve and also adjacent to one another in one surface, ie with the embossing regions arranged side by side in two directions In particular, a "juxtaposition" includes a spacing of adjacent coining regions of less than 0.50 mm, less than 0.30 mm or even less than 0.20 mm. Basically, the embossing can be done in the manner of a waffle pattern with any desired embossing geometries, which may have the same or different embossing depths and may have the same or different embossing contours. In a particular embodiment of the invention, the plurality of areas which are arranged side by side in the manner of a waffle pattern, parallelepiped, pyramidal, truncated pyramidal, conical, truncated conical, cylindrical, corresponding to a skewed cylinder, spherical segment-like, shaped like a ball and / or according to a prismatoid , It is entirely possible that a desired optical and / or tactile effect in the region of the embossing contour is caused exclusively as a result of the embossing contour. In a special embodiment of the invention, the embossing contour is arranged in an edge region of an optical field of view of the container wet glue label. As an optical field of view, a surface area of the container wet glue label is referred to here, which visually stands out from the surrounding area. In this case, the lifting can be brought about, for example, by the choice of different colors, brightness, surface textures, materials and / or different gloss levels. Due to the inventive coincidence of the deformations of the container wet glue label by the embossing contour regions with an edge region of the optical field of view, a particularly strong and u. U. also plastic optical and / or tactile effect can be brought about and / or the optical field of view be further highlighted visually and / or tactile.

It is entirely possible that an embossing contour region is arranged in an edge region of an optical field of view, in particular a colored surface of the container wet glue, whereby the optical field of vision is then largely arranged in the region of the displaced contour region. This has u. U. consequence, that in the optical field of view, namely in the region of the displaced contour region, the container wet glue can not be glued to the bottle or this is only partially possible. To avoid this and / or to obtain the optical and / or tactile effect even after the application process, the invention also proposes that (in particular in an edge region of an optical field of view) immediately adjacent to each other two oriented in different directions embossing contour areas (as a the Embossing depth increasing embossing contour area and the embossing depth again reducing or even to the tread depth of zero attributable stamping contour area) are arranged. In other words, there is thus a reciprocating deformation of the substrate during embossing (in particular in the edge region of the optical field of vision). In this way, the substrate protrudes outward only in the edge region between the two stamping contour regions oriented in different directions, while the actual optical field of vision can almost completely abut the container and can be glued to it. On the other hand, embossing in the edge region with embossing contour regions oriented in different directions results in that, compared with the use of only one embossing contour region, greater deformation can be brought about with a larger extension of the container wet glue label during embossing, which may also be advantageous during the application process with regard to the desired optical and / or tactile effect and / or the durability of the embossing result.

Furthermore, the invention relates to a container wet glue label comprising a substrate. The container wet-glue label is provided with an embossed area which has been created with a wet-glue-label embossing tool of the kind previously discussed. In this case, as a result of embossing with the wet-glue label embossing tool on the substrate, an embossing contour can result, which is, in accordance with the piercing contour of the wet-glue-embossing tool. Preferably, however, after the embossing of the substrate with the wet glue label embossing tool, the substrate has a pitch contact, which deviates from the embossing contour of the wet glue glue embossing tool. For example, a reduced contour angle can result. An embossing depth of the container wet glue-on label can also be reduced compared with the embossing depth of the wet-glue-label embossing tool. It is also possible that a kink of the embossing contour of the wet glue-embossing tool is greater than ei n brought about on the substrate kink and / or radii of the embossing contour of the wet glue label embossing tool smaller si nd than the resulting at the Su bstrat radius. Finally, it is also possible that the displaced contour region partially invades or the embossing contour is "pulled apart".

For a further proposal of the invention is in a container wet glue, which may be formed as previously explained, the substrate structurally strengthened to bring about a stable as possible stamping result. For this proposal, the substrate is a laminate having a paper layer and an aluminum layer (which may be the only layers or other layers may be present). This refinement is based on the knowledge that the aluminum layer, which may be an aluminum foil, acts as a kind of "stabilizer" which does not react to the changing moisture during the application process. Under certain circumstances, an embossing contour once produced in the aluminum layer is also more resistant than a stamping contour produced only in paper due to the "stabilizer" formed by the aluminum alloy.

In the context of the invention, the aluminum layer can be produced in any desired manner and have an arbitrary layer thickness. The aluminum layer is preferably an aluminum layer with a layer thickness of 5 to 9 μm. While any alloy can be used for the aluminum of the aluminum layer, it has been found that preferably an aluminum layer of an alloy 801 1, 8079 or 8021 can be used.

For an alternative or cumulative solution to the problem underlying the invention, a substrate is used in the container wet glue label which is formed with paper and an aluminum layer deposited on the paper. Possibly, with the vapor deposition also a very thin aluminum layer, preferably with a layer thickness of less than 1 μm, can be produced.

In the substrate, basically any material, any material mixture or can be used arbitrarily prepared and processed layers and layers of any materials or compositions use. For a further inventive proposal, the substrate is formed with satin or coated paper.

For a further proposal for solving the problem on which the invention is based, which may well also be used in conjunction with the measures explained above, the substrate has a layer of a thermoplastic material. During embossing, the material may in any case be heated, with which it is thermoformed. Alternatively or cumulatively, it is possible that heating of the material during the embossing process by an external heat source, ultrasound u. Ä. takes place. After cooling, the thermoplastic material then contributes to the stabilization and to the preservation of the relief-like embossing.

For a further proposal of the invention, a water-repellent coating is used. Alternatively or cumulatively, it is also possible that a coating is used.

Under certain circumstances, the thermoplastic material, the water-repellent coating and / or the coating is arranged over the entire surface or part of the area on the back of the substrate, which u. U. a possible wrinkle-free application of the container Nassleimetiketts can be supported. Finally, the invention proposes a container or bottle onto which a container wet glue label of the previously explained embodiment is adhered with a wet glue. Preferably

is dan n a stamping contour region with a stamping contour portion is present, which has a contour angle with respect to the main plane of extension in the range of 9 ° to 22 °, and / or

then has a displaced contour area an embossing depth in the range of 0.060 mm to 0.1 15 mm and / or

then has the embossing contour region between the displaced contour region and the output contour region an extension in the direction of the main extension plane in

Range from 0.250 mm to 0.600 mm, especially 0.400 mm to 0.480 mm.

DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

FIGS. 1 to 8 show a container wet glue label 1 with a substrate 2. The substrate 2 is embossed or deformed into a stamping contour 3. The embossing contour 3 has an initial contour area 4, whose shape and orientation during embossing in Essentially unchanged and has no embossing depth. The initial contour region 4 merges at a transition 9 into a stamping contour region 5. The plastic deformation of the substrate 2 takes place primarily in the stamping contour region 5, in which the material regions of the substrate 2 are displaced and deformed during the stamping process and change their orientation. In the embossing contour region 5, the embossing depth 6 continuously increases until it is at a maximum in the region of a transition 8 to a displaced contour region 7. In the displaced contour region 7, the substrate 2 is displaced therefrom without plastic deformation and the inclination and deflection change relative to the starting contour region 4 by the maximum embossing depth 6 of the embossing contour region 5, which is reached in the region of the transition 8. For a simplified consideration, a plastic deformation takes place with an elongation of the material of the substrate 2 exclusively in the stamping contour region 5. Under certain circumstances, the deformation in the stamping contour region 5 also leads to an elongation of the material of the substrate 2 in a region of the starting contour region 4 immediately adjacent to the stamping contour region 5 and / or the displaced contour region 7. A rear side 10 of the substrate 2 is treated with a wet glue and faces the bottle when the container wet glue label is applied. On the other hand, a front side 1 1 of the substrate 2 forms a visible surface of the container wet glue label 1 in the state applied to the bottle.

In the figures, the substrate 2 is shown simplified, with quite a few layers or coatings (in partial areas or over the entire surface) may be present. In the exemplary embodiments, different stamping contours 3a, 3b of a substrate are identified by additional letters a, b.

For the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the embossing contour region 5 is formed exclusively with a rectilinear embossing contour subregion 12. Compared to a main extension plane 13 of the substrate 2, the embossing contour subregion 12 is inclined with a contour angle 14 of approximately 30 °. The transitions 8, 9 are formed here with kinks. Under certain circumstances, this embodiment in the region of the transitions 8, 9 leads to mechanical impairments of the substrate 2, in the worst case to edge breakage.

Fig. 2 shows the result after the application of the wet glue, the application of the container wet glue 1 on the bottle and drying. It can be seen here that the relative moderately wide surfaces in the displaced contour region 7 and in the embossing contour region 5 "fall", whereby in particular the embossing depth 6 decreases with increasing distance from the transition 8, reduces the contour angle 14 and bend the previously rectilinear displaced contour regions 7 and embossing contour regions 5 (see FIG 2). For the embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the stamping contour region 5 is not rectilinear. Rather, in the region of the transition 9, the latter transits with a bend into a rectilinear stamping contour subregion 12, for which the contour angle 14 is greater than for the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 1. Following this, the contour angle 14 is reduced continuously, so that no kink is present in the region of the transition 8 to a displaced contour region 7. Under certain circumstances, even the extent of the displaced contour region 7 is minimized for the two adjacent embossing contours 3a, 3b, so that the extent is only small or even the two embossing contours 3a, 3b merge without a displaced contour region 7, which can then be done without any kink , Thus, the contour formed by the embossing contours 3a, 3b between the transitions 9 of the adjacent embossing contours 3a, 3b has a curved course with a constant change in the inclination angle 14, wherein the inclination angle of the contour angle in the region of the transition 9 of a stamping contour 3a continuously increases or drops down to the transition 9 of the other embossing contour 3b. Since non-curved surfaces are reduced and the relief-like embossing in the embossing depth has a relatively soft draft, there is a comparison with the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2 u. U. improved optical and / or tactile effect after the application process. Under certain circumstances, however, in the region of the displaced contour region 7 or in the transition region between the adjacent embossing contours 3a, 3b, there is also a certain incidence of the embossing depth, which may be undesirable. FIG. 5 shows a container wet glue label 1 in a top view in a region of a line of a lettering, wherein the line is embossed with the stamping contours 3a, 3b according to FIG. It can be seen here that the distance of the transitions 9 of the embossing contours 3a, 3b varies for a changing line thickness. For this embodiment, there may also be a tendency to break or mechanical damage in the region of the transitions 9. For the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 6 to 8, both transitions 8, 9 are marked "soft" or rounded, so that no kinks are present here , Rather, a rounding 15 with a small radius is provided in the region of the transition 9, to which then the embossing contour portion 12 connects with the large contour angle 14, while then again a gradual reduction of the contour angle 14 takes place, this reduction is at least five or ten times greater radius or a corresponding change in curvature than in the region of the rounding 15. The stamping contour area 5 is thus curved S-shaped back and forth, wherein the transition 9 adjacent part of the S is formed with a small radius of the rounding 15, while the other part of the S has a much larger diameter. Under certain circumstances, after the application process, the embossing contour 3 according to FIG. 7 has a good embossing result with the desired optical and / or tactile effect. In particular, there is no incidence of a "roof" of the embossing, as was the case in FIGS. 2 and 4. Under certain circumstances results as a result of the elimination of kinks and a reduced tendency to mechanical damage or even a break in the transition areas 8, 9. Preferably, however (with otherwise appropriate design) of the transition 9 formed by a kink.

FIG. 8 shows a plan view of a container wet glue label 1 or a substrate 2 with embossing contours 3 a, 3 b corresponding to FIG. 6.

In FIGS. 9 to 11, different embossing contours 3a of a wet-glue-embossing tool 32 are shown. Even if the embossing depths, the contour angles, embossing contour areas and displaced contour regions of the container wet glue labels 1 produced with the wet glue label embossing tool 32 can deviate from those of the wet glue glue embossing tool 32 which was used for their embossing process, the same reference numerals and Terms have been used. In this case, the embossing contour 3a can be formed on a die 33 forming the wet-glue-code embossing tool 32 (in FIGS. 9 to 11 above the embossing contour 3a) or (in the case of complementary contouring) on a male part 34 forming the wet-glue-embossing tool 32 (in FIG. 9 to 1 1 below the embossing contour 3a) may be formed.

In FIGS. 9 to 11, the embossing depth 6 is shown as a function of a coordinate 16 in the direction of the main extension plane 13. For the embossing contour 3a according to FIG. 9, the transition 9 from the starting contour region 4 to the embossing contour region 5a takes place with a kink. The embossing contour portion 12 has adjacent to the transition 9 ü over a contour angle 14, which is preferably in the range of 48 ° to 52 °. At a distance 17 of 0.198 mm, the profile depth 6 is 0.204 mm, while at a distance 18 of 0.277 mm Profile depth 6 is 0.228 mm and the transition 8 is arranged at a distance 19 of 0.338 mm with a profile depth 6 of 0.230 mm.

Also, for the embossing contour 3a according to FIG. 10, a kink is present in the region of the transition 9, in the region of which the embossing contour partial region 12 has a contour angle 14 of 48 ° to 52 °. At a distance 20 of 0.096 mm from the transition 9, the tread depth 6 is 0.096 mm, while at a distance 21 from the transition 9 of 0.197 mm, the tread depth 6 is 0.140 mm.

For the embossing contour 3a according to FIG. 11, a kink is likewise present in the region of the transition 9. At the kink, the embossing contour portion 12 connects with a contour angle 14 in the range of 48 ° to 52 °. At a distance 22 from the transition 9 of 0, 134 mm, the tread depth 6 0, 141 mm, while the transition 8 is arranged at a distance 23 of 0.262 mm with a tread depth 6 of 0.210 mm. It is understood that, in contrast to the illustrated embodiments, a rounding 15 can also be present at the transitions 9. FIG. 12 shows, by way of example, a wet glue label embossing tool 32 for a container wet glue label 1 with an optically visible and tactile detectable coat of arms 24. This is formed with an optical field of view 25, which visually and tactually stands out against a surrounding area 26.

Fig. 13 shows a partial section Xl l l-Xl ll by wet glue imprinting tool 32 shown in FIG. 12 in the field of optical field of view 25. The optical field of view 25 is limited by an inner edge region 27a and an outer edge region 27b, between these edge regions 27a , 27b, for example, a coloration of the container wet glue 1, which differs from the areas away from the edge regions 27a, 27b and outside the optical field of view 25. It is possible in this case that only one stamping contour 3a, 3b is arranged in the edge regions 27a, 27b. This would have the consequence that the displaced contour region 7 formed between the embossing contours 3a, 3b would protrude with respect to the container, whereby no large-area bonding would be possible or the bonding would have to take place with a sunken displaced contour region 7. For the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 12 and 13, two stamping contours 3a, 3b and 3c, 3d are respectively arranged in the edge regions 27a, 27b, whereby such a pair of stamping contours 3a, 3b or 3c, 3d thereto leads that the optical field of view 25 between the edge regions 27a, 27b is not formed with a tread depth, but is arranged at the level of the output contour region 4, so that a good large-area bonding can take place. A contour formed in this way can then also be used for the application of additional material 28 into the optical field of view 25, for example of a color, in which case the area of application of the material 28 is limited by the edge regions 27a, 27b. If, due to tolerances, a certain offset is to be accepted for automated application of the material 28, tolerances of the inaccuracies can be tolerated by the edge regions 27a, 27b formed with the embossing contours 3a to 3d without substantially impairing the visual appearance and / or the tactile effect ,

Under certain circumstances it is advantageous to use an aluminum layer in the substrate 2 (in contrast to another metallic layer or other layers). If a bottle neck foil is also formed with an aluminum foil, the result is a reduced material diversity, which is advantageous both for the production process and for the treatment of bottle neck foils and container wet glue labels removed during a washing process.

The labels are first produced by gravure printing, for which purpose a die 33 and male part 34 or even a stamping roll with appealing contouring can be used. This is followed by the cutting of the container wet glue labels 1. The container wet glue labels 1 are then tied into a stack, which can then be fed to a labeling machine. The removal of the container wet glue labels 1 from the stack can then take place via a glue or adhesive pallet which is brought into contact with the back of the container wet glue label 1. With the adherence of the container wet glue label 1, this can then be removed from the stack. It is possible that a surface of the substrate 2 or container wet glue 1 is additionally provided with a material processing, in particular an embossing, with a brush design, dot design or linen design.

A moistening of the container wet glue labels 1 can also take place during the filling process of the containers or bottles, which u. U. takes place at a high humidity. It is possible in the context of the invention that the front of the container wet glue 1 is coated with a water-impermeable layer, in particular a paint, so that from the outside moisture can not enter the container wet-glue label 1 when the container wet-glue label 1 is adhered to the container or bottle.

For the substrate 2, paper is preferably used having a thickness of 68 g / m ² or even greater thicknesses, in particular 93 g / m ² , deviations, in particular of ± 10%, of the abovementioned starches being possible. Preferably, when using a laminate with an aluminum foil or the vapor deposition of aluminum, a substrate formed in this way is used, which has a mass of 67 or 68 g / m ² (although deviations of ± 10% are possible). In this case, it is also possible for the substrate to have a thickness of 65 μm, wherein for the case of the egg-batch, a layer of an aluminum foil of the thickness of the aluminum can be 6 μm.

It may be possible to dispense with the application of a water-impermeable layer to the front side and / or rear side of the substrate by using the coating or the layer of aluminum. For example, the water-impermeable layer can be used for repelling condensation moisture on still cold bottles during the drying phase.

Preferably, in a laminate, the aluminum foil is inserted on the outside of the substrate. If, however, the optical appearance of a container wet glue-on label made of paper is desired, it is also possible to use a laminate in which the aluminum foil is arranged on the inside or is arranged as an inner layer between other outer layers.

FIG. 14 shows, in a highly schematized and not to scale, a substrate 2, which is formed with a paper layer 29 and an aluminum layer 30. Here, the aluminum layer 30 may be vapor-deposited or formed with a laminated aluminum foil. For example, has a laminate 31, with which the substrate 2 is formed, a thickness of 68 μηη, wherein the layer thickness of the aluminum layer 30 is between 5 and 9 μηη.

15 schematically shows the interaction of wet glue label embossing tools 32 in the form of a die 33 and a male part 34 with the substrate 2 therebetween. The embossing of the substrate 2 takes place as the male part 34 approaches the female die 33 until a minimum embossing gap 35 is established between the dies Die 33 and the male part 34 is formed. in this connection For example, the embossing gap 35 may have a constant or also a changing gap height, wherein preferably the embossing gap 35 corresponds to or is smaller than the thickness of the substrate 2.

In Fig. 8 it can be seen that the line width of the embossed lettering does not have to be constant, but can also vary. In this case, the embossing contour areas for forming the lateral boundaries of the line are formed independently of the respective line width of the line, while the extension of the displaced contour area changes depending on the width of the line. It can be seen in FIG. 8 that for very low line width of the line in the end area it is even possible that no displaced contour area 7 remains, wherein it is even possible for the embossing contour areas to be shortened, so that they do not lie horizontally and without kinking into one another open, but rather the transition takes place before the distance 19 of FIG. 9 and thus a kind of "gable" is formed.

While in principle for a curved lettering according to FIG. 8 embossing contour areas according to FIG. 9 can be used, embossing contour areas according to FIG. 10 are preferably used for lines or numbers or lettering with a smaller size or smaller line width. Finally, the embossing contour regions according to FIG. 11 are preferably used for the delimitation of the optical fields of view 25, in particular with two stamping contour regions arranged directly next to one another and oriented in opposite directions. Preferably, wet and alkali-resistant label papers are used for the container wet glue label 1 or the substrate 2, as are known per se for containers, in particular bottles such as beer bottles.

Preferably, the container wet glue labels 1 or the substrate 2 is a metallized wet and alkali-resistant label paper, which may have a weight of 68 g / m ² or 70 g / m ² or alternatively of 93 g / m ² . Here u. U. the front surface over the entire area coated with a water-repellent paint, which should serve in particular the protection against condensation. For example, a lacquer can be used for the back, which may be water repellent, as has been described in particular in the not previously published, aforementioned patent application of the applicant. This varnish may have been partially or fully applied to the back. Age- natively or cumulatively, a thermo-sensitive lacquer can be used, which can be used in addition to stabilize the contour. It is also possible that white, unmetallized paper is used.

As explained above, the contour resulting on the container wet glue-on label 1 after embossing and before or even after the application process and the contour angles u. U. deviate seriously from the contours and contour angles of the wet glue labels embossing tool 32.

FIGS. 16 to 22 show stamping contours 3A with embossing contour areas 5A, such as those on a container wet glue label 1 after removal from the wet glue label embossing tool 32 formed with the die 33 and the male 34 or even after the application of the container wet glue label 1 on one Bottle or a container have been measured. In this case, the measured embossing contours on the container wet-glue label 1 are designated by the additional letters "A" in the measurement results.

FIGS. 16 to 18 relate to stamping contours 3A which are produced with a stamping contour region 5a according to FIG. 11, for example in the edge region 27b of a coat of arms 24 according to FIG. 12. FIG. 12 shows by way of example a partial region of the stamping contour and is labeled XVI In this case, however, deviating from FIG. 12, the course of the stamping contour regions 5a, 5b in the plan view is not formed with part-line pieces connected by an angle, but instead is curved. In FIG. 16 it can be seen that an output contour region 4A in the transition 9A merges into the embossing contour region 5Aa. In the displaced contour area 7A, the tread depth is maximum. On the opposite side then the embossing contour 3A falls again with a corresponding oppositely oriented stamping contour region 5Ab. In the area of the optical field of view 25A, the starting contour region 4A with a tread depth of zero may not again be reached, but rather a material region of the container wet glue-on label 1 which is slightly different from zero and slightly displaced in the direction of the displaced contour region 7A may remain here.

17 and 18 show measurement results for a detection of a stamping contour 3A when measured along a measuring axis 36 (see Fig. 16). Here, the tread depth is in a profile depth direction 37 applied over the measuring axis 36. In particular, the embossed depth 6 of the displaced contour region 7A, the contour angle 14A and the extension of the embossing contour region 5A between the starting contour region 4A and the displaced contour region 7A can be taken from the measured progressions. Furthermore, the measurement results according to FIGS. 17 and 18 can be taken from the length of the displaced contour region 7A.

FIGS. 19 to 22 show measured stamping contours 3A, which have been produced with a wet glue-on stamping tool 32 having a stamping contour area 5a according to FIG. Preferably, it is the line of a lettering according to FIG. 5 (wherein, as explained, unlike the description of FIG. 5, a wet-glue-embossing tool having a stamping contour region 5a according to FIG. 9 has been used). Here, FIGS. 19 and 20 show stamping contours 3A in a region of smaller line width than FIGS. 21 and 22. Here too, the curves can be determined by determining the starting contour region 4A, the transitions 8A, 9A, the embossing contour regions 5A, the contour angle 14A Length of the displaced contour area 7A and the extension of the embossing contour 3A between the output contour area 4A and the displaced contour area 7A in the direction of the main extension plane 13, here in the direction of the measuring axis 36, take place. It can be seen here that the measurement curves 19, 20 differ in the range of small line thicknesses from the courses according to FIGS. 21 and 22 for greater line width at approximately the same emboss contour areas 5A by the length of the displaced contour regions 7A. Can be seen in Figs. 16 to 22 a deviation of the embossing contour 3 of an "ideal" contour in the form of elevations, depressions, curved reciprocating courses, not ideal rectilinear output contour areas 4A and displaced contour regions 7A u. ä. cause of these deviations from an ideal course are in particular - measurement inaccuracies,

any pre-embossing of the container Nasslei metiketts 1 before embossing in the

Wet glue label embossing tool 32,

Imperfections of the thickness of tank wet glue 1 and

Non-uniform deformations of the container wet glue-on label 1 resulting from the embossing process. Furthermore, it can be seen in FIGS. 16 to 22 that the embossing contour 3, 3A, on the one hand, bears against the wet-glue-label embossing tool 32 and, on the other hand, on the container wet-glue label 1 after removal from the wet-glue-embossing tool 32 and before the application of the container Wet-end-type 1 and after its application differ. In this regard, for example, the following results have been obtained:

I. Embossing a lettering with the stamping contour area 5 according to FIG. 9:

On the other hand, the following embossing contours have been measured for an embossing process of a container wet glue label 1 having a stamping contour region 5 according to FIG. 11, in particular for an optical field of vision for a coat of arms or the like: Embossing contour of the embossing contour of the embossing contour of the

Direction of the main extension plane

It can be seen from these measurement results that the resulting maximum profile depth of the displaced contour region 7 on the container wet glue label 1 after removal from the wet glue label embossing tool 32 and / or after application to the bottle is less than half the maximum embossing depth of the wet glue label embossing tool 32 is. The contour angle 14A is less than one third of the contour angle 14 of the embossing contour region 5 of the wet glue label embossing tool 32. The extent of the embossing contour region between the displaced contour region and the starting contour region is on the container wet glue label 1 after removal from the wet glue code embossing tool 32 and / or after the application of the same to the wrong one, greater than this extension of the wet glue label embossing tool 32. Further, it can be seen that u. U. with an increase in the extension of the displaced contour region 7A, the fluctuations of the contour (see Fig. 21, 22) in the displaced contour region 7A are greater.
