Definitions

  • a die is provided for cutting at least one but less than all of the layers of a plurality of layers of paper such as a sheet of lables or the like.
  • a raised cutting edge of the die is rounded so that the portions of the cut layer or layers on either side of a cut made by the cutting edge are cammed away from each other so that the backing or other layers are neither cut nor crushed.
  • the die may be made by etching according to conventional procedures followed by moving the usual cutting edge obtained through a spray of etching fluid at such a rate that the cutting edge is naturally rounded.
  • the present invention relates to a die and method for cutting labels and the like. More particularly, the invention relates to a means and method of cutting labels or the like in a sheet comprising a plurality of layers of paper.
  • Labels, markers and other similar articles are usually made available in strips or rolls in which a plurality of such labels or the like are attached to an elongated continuous backing layer by a pressure sensitive adhesive.
  • the pressure sensitive gum or adhesive is permanently adhered to the back of the label, while the backing layer is provided with a release coating.
  • the label with pressure sensitive adhesive separates readily from the back strip, and the user merely has to peel the labels or markers from the backing strip and apply them as desired.
  • Such labels or markers are manufactured on a mass production basis whereby a strip comprising a label material, a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive and a backing layer are assembled and passed under a cutting die.
  • the die which may have any convenient arrangement or array of patterns thereon in accordance with the shapes desired for the labels, cuts through the layer comprising the material which will form the labels.
  • the die also cuts through the material which will form the labels.
  • the die also cuts through the adhesive layer but does not cut through the backing layer so that a continuous strip or sheet of labels is maintained.
  • Etched cutting dies of the type used in preparing label strips of the prior art have the undesirable characteristic of tending to crush the label paper into the backing or release layer, thereby weakening or destroying the latter. This occurs due to the fact that invariably the label material and backing layers are made of paper and the edges of the cutting dies have flat lands or faces. The flat faces result from the fact that the cutting edges must be of such a small size that mechanical techniques for forming them are not feasible, and the edges must therefore be prepared by well known photo-etching processes.
  • the present invention which comprises a die comprising a base, a raised cutting edge extending from the base, the lateral extent of the cutting edge defining a pattern for the labels or the like to be cut, and the profile of the cutting edge remote from the base being rounded so that the portions of the cut layer on either side of a cut made by the cutting edge are cammed away from each other and the uncut layer is not crushed.
  • the present invention also comprises the method of cutting labels or the like with this cutting die.
  • the invention is directed to an improved process for manufacturing dies of the type having a cutting edge for cutting at least one but less than all of the layers in a plurality of layers of paper in which the improvement comprises the step of rounding the profile of the cutting edge so that the portions of the cut layer on either side of a cut made by the cutting edge are cammed away from each other and the uncut layer is not crushed.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a die assembly employing a cutting die used to form labels in'accordance with the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 is an enlarged and fragmented sectional view showing the manner in which the die of the present invention penetrates the layers of material in a label strip.
  • FIG. 3 is a plan view of a die sheet comprising a plurality of cutting patterns.
  • FIGS. 4-10 illustrate in sectional view the appearance of a cutting die in each of the steps of manufacture according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 1 shows a die assembly generally indicated by numeral 10 for employing the present invention.
  • the die assembly 10 is of a conventional type comprising a hard roll 12 and a die supporting roll or platen 14.
  • the two rolls or platens 12 and 14 are mounted for rotation on shafts l6 and 18, respectively.
  • Support roll 14 carries a die plate 20 having a die pattern 22 thereon.
  • the size of the cutting edge 32 of die pattern 22 has been greatly exaggerated for ease of illustration. Also, for purposes of illustration, only one die pattern 22 has been shown on die plate 20 in FIG. 1. However, it will be apparent that as many patterns of like or different configuration may be placed on die plate 20 as is convenient.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates a die plate 20 having seven die patterns 34, each having a different distinctive configuration.
  • a label strip generally indicated by numeral 24 is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 as it passes through the nip between hard roll 12 and die support roll 14.
  • the label strip assembly 24 comprises a facing layer 26 of label material, a backing layer or release sheet 28, and a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive 30 sandwiched between the facing and backing layers.
  • the label strip assembly 24 shown in FIG. I is moving toward the upper left-hand corner as indicated by the arrows.
  • die pattern 22 has already cut the label 31 (whose cut edges are also exaggerated in size) into facing layer 26 of label strip assembly 24 without cutting the backing layer 28.
  • FIG. 2 is an enlarged fragmented cross sectional view of a die assembly of the type shown in FIG. 1 illustrating the penetration of a cutting edge 32 of a die pattern into a label strip assembly 24.
  • the profile of the cutting edge 32 is rounded and of such a height that it cuts through facing layer 26 of label material and pressure sensitive adhesive layer 30 without crushing or cutting into backing layer 28.
  • the die plate 20 comprises a thin metal plate or sheet which may be easily attached to die support roll 14 by the use of permanent magnets, adhesives or clamps.
  • the die plate is shown on a roller, it will be evident that the die plate can be attached to a support of any convenient shape and may be used in a so-called flatbed cutter.
  • the cutting die of the present invention has a plurality of raised cutting edges extending from the thin metal base plate.
  • the lateral extent of these cutting edges 32 define a pattern which is to be cut.
  • the cutting edges 32 have had fiat lands or faces, the cutting edges of the present invention are rounded. The details of the configuration of the cutting edges of the cutting die will now be described with reference to FIGS. 4-10 in connection with the process by which the die is manufactured.
  • a sheet of metal 36 is provided from which the aforementioned die plate 20 will be formed.
  • the sheet of metal 36 may be any suitable metal from which cutting dies are conventionally made, such as hardened or soft steel, stainless steel, etc.
  • the metal sheet 36 may be of any convenient size. A plate having dimensions of about 18 by 24 inches and a thickness of about 17 mils has been found particularly suitable.
  • the sheet of metal 36 is first thoroughly cleaned with an alkaline wash or detergent. Many such washes or detergents are well known in the art and proprietary cleaners are commercially available.
  • Conversion coatings are well known in the art and are desirable to promote adhesion of a light sensitive photoresist to the sheet of metal. A number of suitable conversion coating solutions are commercially available.
  • a light sensitive photoresist 42 is applied to the sheet of metal 36.
  • Such light sensitive photoresists are well known in the art and typically comprise a synthetic polymer which will cross link or further polymerize when subjected to ultraviolet light.
  • a number of suitable liquid or dry film light sensitive resists are readily commercially avail able.
  • both top face 38 and bottom face 40 of the sheet of metal 36 are coated with the light sensitive resist 42.
  • the coating of the back face 40 will prevent any inadvertent etching of that face of the sheet of metal.
  • a negative 44 is next placed over the light sensitive resist 42 on the top face of the sheet of metal to be etched, as shown in FIG. 5. In this manner the desired die pattern is transferred to the light sensitive resist by projecting ultraviolet light onto the top of the negative 44.
  • the negative 44 may be prepared by first making a film of the clear celluloid type and blocking out opaque areas surrounding the pattern. This may suitably be done using a cut and strip material which is commercially available and comprises a red film laminated over a clear sheet of Mylar (polyethylene terephthalate).
  • the desired patterns may be cut into the cut and strip material on the scale of 5 times or 10 times the final size of the desired label with a scribing knife or other sharp tool. Scribing is preferred as a means for drawing the pattern as it gives clear sharp lines.
  • the inscribed cut and strip material (not shown) forms a master negative which is then exposed onto photograph film with a reduction camera.
  • the developed film will have a clear background with the pattern appearing in black lines.
  • This film (also not shown) is subsequently exposed onto another photographic film which is then developed to yield negative 44 having a black background with the pattern appearing in clear lines.
  • the multiple patterns on a given cutting die are desired, the multiple patterns are formed on a negative by use of a step and repeat exposure technique wherein a portion of the negative is exposed, shifted, another portion exposed, shifted and so forth.
  • the pattern from negative 44 which corresponds to the pattern of a cutting edge to be formed in the sheet of metal 36, and which has a width w, is transferred to the light sensitive resist 42 such that a pattern of photoresist also having a width w will remain on the top face 38 of the sheet of metal 36.
  • the means and method for removing the remainder of the light sensitive resist by developing are well known in the photographic art and need not be described in detail herein.
  • the sheet of metal 36 is then etched in a conventional manner to form a die plate.
  • the etching may be achieved by any of a number of old and well known chemical or electrolytic techniques, such as nitric acid, ferric chloride, aqua regia, and the like for chemical etching and sodium chloride, hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid and the like for electrolytic etching.
  • the resulting structure after etching is shown in FIG. 7.
  • Etching fluid of suitable composition such as ferric chloride of density 42 Baume, at a temperature of between [20 and F is carried by manifold pipes having nozzles therein and is continuously sprayed upon the exposed metal area of the cutting die plate.
  • the nozzles are continuously oscillated cross-wise of the direction of travel of the plate at high speed, Le, 60 strokes per minute.
  • the light sensitive resist 42 is then removed from the tops of the unetched portions which define the cutting pattern, thus yielding the die plate shown in FIG. 8.
  • the sharp corners 48 of lands 46 shown in FIG. 8 are responsible for effecting the cutting of the labels with prior art cutting dies. It is these sharp corners 48 which are responsible for the crushing and weakening of the backing layer during the normal cutting of labels.
  • the conventional dies were undercut such as shown by the phantom lines in FIG. 8. Due to the undercut, the conventional dies had a tendency to flex or deform thereby diminishing the effectiveness of the dies.
  • the die plate shown in FIG. 8 is subjected to the following additional steps. First of all, the entire exposed surface of the die plate is cleaned by a suitable alkaline cleaner in the same manner as described previously. The die plate is then further etched to form the structure shown in FIG. 9, and finally the photoresist 42 on the bottom face 40 of the plate is removed to yield the final die plate shown in FIG. 10, which corresponds to the die plates shown in use in FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the additional etching step will comprise a chemical etching technique in which the die plate is placed on a conveyor which past spray nozzles which spray the chemical etchant crosswise to the direction of travel of the die plate onto the face of the die plate.
  • the etchant will attack the entire exposed surface of the die plate and further reduce the various dimensions, it has been discovered that the etching will attack the previously covered lands 46 to the extent that the metal will be eaten away into a rounded configuration to yield a rounded cutting edge 32.
  • the rounded configuration is a natural phenomenon obtained from moving the die plate past the spray nozzles for the etchant.
  • the degree of etching will depend upon a number of factors including the particular material of the sheet of metal 36, the particular etchant or etching material, the speed at which the die plates move past the spray nozzles, the pressure at which the chemical etchant is sprayed, and the direction or orientation of the spray nozzles. The variation of these parameters for various materials will be readily determined by one of ordinary skill in the art,
  • the desired configuration of the rounded cutting edges 32 was obtained by spraying the chemical etchant at a pressure of about 35 pounds per square inch approximately perpendicular to the die plate, as the die plate moved past the spray nozzles at a speed of between 40 and 120 inches per minute, and preferably about 80 inches per minute.
  • the cutting edges 32 shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 may have various dimensions depending upon the type and size of cut to be made in forming the labels or other markers.
  • a particularly preferred set of dimensions comprises a thickness of about 7-8 mils (0.007-0.008 inch) for the base of the die plate, a cutting edge height T of about 7-8 mils, and a rounded cutting edge radius r of about 3 mils.
  • a sheet of metal 36 having a thickness of about 17 mils should be used to start with and the width of the cutting land 46 w should be about 6 mils, and the height of the originally etched cutting edges shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 t should be about 8 mils, while the thickness of the base of the die plate shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 may be about 9 mils.
  • the light sensitive resist 42 is removed from the bottom face 40 of the die plate as shown in FIG. 10.
  • the resulting die plate illustrated in FIG. 10 may be connected to a roller or flat plate as described above. Since the cutting edges are round, rather than flat, the cutting of labels will not result in a crushing of the backing paper but instead the rounded cutting edges will tend to cause the label material to be cammed away from the cut so that the backing layer will not be crushed. This phenomenon is clearly illustrated in FIG. 2 where it can be seen that the portions of labels strip 26 on either side of cutting face 32 are separated from each other. As a result, there is no material below the cutting edge 32 to bear against the backing layer 28 and crush it.
  • a method for cutting label sheets and the like of the type comprising a facing layer, a pressure sensitive adhesive on the back of said facing layer, and a protective backing layer underlying said pressure sensitive adhesive, the steps comprising providing a cutting die, said die comprising a base, a raised cutting edge extending from said base, the lateral extent of said cutting edge defining a pattern to be cut in said sheets and the profile of said cutting edge remote from said base being rounded, bringing said cutting die into cutting engagement with said facing layer, and forcing said cutting edge through said facing layer, whereby portions of said facing layer on either side of the cut made by said cutting edge are cammed away from each other but said backing layer is neither cut nor crushed by the cutting edge of said die.
