Definitions

  • Technical field of the application relates to a printable label for a baggage and a web and a roll of such labels. Further the application relates to an arrangement for providing a printed label for a baggage.
  • a label is attached to a baggage in order to identify the baggage.
  • the label is printed with identification information.
  • the printed information enables tracking and identifying the baggage.
  • airlines track baggage in multiple phases including when a passenger hands over a baggage to be transported, when loading the baggage to the aircraft, when delivering the baggage to a transfer area, when returning the baggage to the passenger and when the baggage is handed to another party, or custody of the baggage changes.
  • the baggage tracking enables tracking lost baggage, reduce fraud and enable automation of baggage process.
  • Document NL2011102C2 is considered the closest prior art and discloses all the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • the aim of the invention is to provide efficiency and reliability for baggage tracking.
  • the abel for a baggage according to claim 1 comprises a face material, an adhesive and a liner.
  • the face material is printable and the liner is a plastic film liner comprising polyethylene terephthalate and having a tensile strength of 150-210 kN/m in machine direction and 200-270 KN/m in cross direction, when measured in accordance to ISO 1924-2.
  • the liner comprises a die-cut area arranged to indicate a predetermined detachment area of the liner.
  • the die-cut area comprises die-cut edge portions along longitudinal edges of the label and a die-cut indication at the end of the predetermined detachment area arranged at edge portions of the liner transverse width direction, leaving the middle area of the liner transverse width direction free of die-cut.
  • the predetermined detachment area of the liner is arranged to be released from the adhesive for a predetermined length and width.
  • the detachment area maintains physical connection with unreleased part of the liner.
  • the predetermined length and width of the detachment area of the liner are defined by die-cut edge portions along longitudinal edges of the label defining unreleased liner edges, and die cut stop portions along width of the label defining the length of releasable liner.
  • Another aspect of the invention includes a label web comprising the labels. Yet another aspect of the invention includes a label roll comprising the labels.
  • Still another aspect of the invention comprises an arrangement for providing the label for a baggage.
  • the arrangement further comprises a printer for printing the label.

  • the printed labels should be attached properly in order for those to sustain transportation and handling.
  • a possibility of a traveller to attach a label to their baggage improperly may affect fastening and thereby proper permanent attachment of the label. If a label is attached improperly, for example adjustment of the two attached portions of the label is not properly facing next to each other, adhesive may remain exposed. This leaves the attaching surface partly unused, which may have effect on fastening strength. Further, the exposed adhesive may stick to another object, which may pose tearing forces to the label.
