Definitions
- Transfer tape is becoming increasingly common in the manufacture of business forms or the like.
- U.S. patent 5,129,682 shows a business form having removable labels associated therewith which is constructed by applying a piece of transfer tape to the back of paper stock, and then die cutting labels from the area covered by the transfer tape.
- a self-imaging liner associated with tr.ansfer tape, for example in the manufacture of business forms such as shown in patent 5,129,682, or in the construction of other types of labels.
- the self-imaging liner allows the user to see what was printed on a label made with the tr.ansfer tape, providing a record copy.
- a transfer tape is provided with a self-imaging liner.
- the transfer tape comprises: A carbonless, self-contained primary sheet having first and second faces.
- a first polyethylene coating or film layer of about 1 mil thick, or less, on the first face.
- a first silicone coating over the first polyethylene coating or film layer.
- a pressure sensitive adhesive coating on the first silicone coating.
- a second polyethylene coating or film layer of about 1 mil thick, or less, on the second face.
- a second silicone coating over the second polyethylene coating.
- the second polyethylene coating is applied on the second face of the carbonless sheet.
- the transfer tape may consist of the primary sheet, first and second polyethylene coatings or film layers, first and second silicone coatings, and pressure sensitive adhesive, or a CB coating may be provided on the second silicone coating.
- the CB coating allows an image printed on the transfer tape to also transfer to a CF coated sheet positioned beneath the transfer tape.
- the transfer tape may be provided in a roll configuration with the adhesive engaging the second silicone coating when in the spiral roll.
- a wide variety of different types of materials and weights of material may be provided, applied in different manners. However it is necessary that the polyethylene be provided as a coating and not as a film, and preferably it is sprayed on (or the equivalent).
- the silicone coating is typically provided at a weight of about 3-10 grams per square meter, with five gm./m 3 being approximately optimum, and typically is a differential coating of silicone. That is the silicone has a first side having a stronger affinity for adhesive than a second side, and d e second side of the differential coating is what is engages the pressure sensitive adhesive.
- the pressure sensitive adhesive may typically be applied as a hot melt adhesive, or from a pre-wound tape.
- the invention also comprises a business form comprising a face stock and a transfer tape, the transfer tape pressure sensitive adhesive engaging the face stock.
- the transfer tape which engages the face stock is as described above. Labels may be die cut out of the face stock, and matrix material removed, as in U.S. patent 5, 129,682.
- a CF sheet may be provided underneath the transfer tape if a CB coating is provided on the second silicone coating of the transfer tape.
- a method of making a transfer tape from a carbonless, self-contained primary sheet having first and second faces is provided.
- the method comprises the steps of: (a) Spraying a first polyethylene coating, or applying a polyethylene film layer, of about 1 mil thick, or less, on the first face, (b) Applying a first silicone coating over the first polyethylene coating, (c) Applying a pressure sensitive adhesive coating on the first silicone coating, (d) Spraying a second polyethylene coating, or applying a film layer, of about 1 mil thick, or less, on the second face. And, (e) applying a second silicone coating over the second polyethylene coating. There is also the further step of winding the transfer tape into a roll configuration with the pressure sensitive adhesive engaging the second silicone coating. Finally there is the optional further step of applying a CB coating over the second silicone coating.
- FIGURE 1 is a schematic view showing exemplary methods of producing transfer tape and a business form according to the present invention
- FIGURE 2 is a side exploded view, with the components greatly exaggerated in thickness for clarity of illustration, of a piece of transfer tape according to the present invention, with a face stock and a CF sheet also shown in association therewith;
- FIGURE 3 is a perspective schematic view of an exemplary roll of transfer tape according to the present invention.
- FIGURE 4 is a perspective exploded view showing a label and record copy produced from a business form utilizing the teachings of the present invention.
- FIGURE 1 schematically illustrates various procedures for production of transfer tapes, and for a business form utilizing transfer tape, according to the present invention.
- the procedure is started by feeding a self-contained sheet, as illustrated generally by box 10 in FIGURE 1, the self-contained sheet typically being Moore Business Forms MCP ® paper, or NCR carbonless paper.
- the self-contained sheet is shown generally by reference numeral 11 in FIGURE 2, comprising a base 12 of paper with self-imaging material 13 thereon, and having a first face 14 and a second face 15.
- the polyethylene 16 is preferably sprayed on as a coating, although it may be applied as a coating using other suitable techniques. While a coating is most desirous and advantageous, the polyethylene can alternatively be provided in film (film layer) form.
- the coating or film layer is typically about 1 mil or less in thickness, and while it may be of any suitable type it may be polyethylene material provided by Technicoat of Miamisburg, Ohio, or Jen Coat, Inc. of Westfield, Massachusetts.
- the first coating or film layer of polyethylene is shown schematically at 17 in FIGURE 2.
- the first and second faces 14, 15 of the primary sheet 11 may be treated sequentially, or at the same time. That is all of the operations for one of the faces may be performed at one time, and then all of the operations for the other.
- FIGURE 1 merely for simplicity sake, shows simultaneous treatment of the first and second faces 14, 15 of the primary sheet after the step 18.
- a coating of silicone illustrated schematically at 21 in FIGURE 1.
- the silicone coating itself is illustrated schematically at 22 in FIGURE 2, and preferably comprises a differential coating of silicone, that is one having two sides, one side having a stronger affinity for adhesive than the other side.
- a 4-5 differential silicone may be applied with the "4" side in contact with the polyethylene coating or film layer 17 and with the "5" side facing away from the polyethylene coating or film layer 17, to which the adhesive is applied since the "5" side has less affinity for the adhesive than the "4" side.
- the pressure sensitive adhesive is applied, as illustrated schematically at 23 in FIGURE 1.
- the pressure sensitive adhesive ⁇ shown schematically at 24 in FIGURE 2 may be of any suitable type, either permanent, repositional, removable, or the like.
- the two most common ways for applying the adhesive 24 in the step 23 are as a hot melt, or from a pre-wound tape.
- the hot melt adhesive is applied with a ribbon coater, while adhesive applied from the pre-wound tape is applied by bringing the pre-wound tape into face-to-face contact with the silicone coating 22, so that the adhesive 24 adheres thereto, and then winding up the tape and disposing of it.
- a spray coating or film layer of polyethylene is provided as illustrated schematically at 25 in FIGURE 1.
- This polyethylene coating or film layer 26 (see FIGURE 2) is essentially identical to and applied in essentially the identical manner to the coating or film layer 17.
- a second silicone coat is applied over the second polyethylene coat or film layer 26, as illustrated schematically at 27 in FIGURE 1 , the second silicone coat being shown schematically at 28 in FIGURE 2.
- Both the second silicone coat 28 and d e first silicone coat 22 are preferably applied so that they have a weight of about 3-10 grams per square meter. Were the silicone coating is to be applied directly to the paper 11 rather than to the polyethylene coating, the silicone would have a tendency to soak into the paper 11 perhaps rendering it useless as carbonless/self- imaging paper.
- the transfer tape being shown schematically at reference numeral 30 in FIGURE 2 — it may be wound into a roll configuration, as illustrated schematically at 31 in FIGURE 1.
- the roll configuration itself is illustrated schematically at 32 in FIGURE 3, with the pressure sensitive adhesive 24 in contact with the second silicone coating 28 in the spiral roll configuration.
- the transfer tape 30 may be run in lengths and automatically cut into those lengths, or may be cut into small segments to be applied as liner backed labels.
- the stage illustrated schematically at 34 indicates applying the transfer tape in lengths to face stock, the face stock being shown schematically at 35 in FIGURE 2, to form business forms such as shown in U.S. patent 5, 129,682.
- FIGURE 4 schematically illustrates a label 37 formed from me face stock 35 which will have the pressure sensitive adhesive 24 on d e bottom face thereof, and shows it with an image 38 imprinted thereon. That image 38 is also transferred — as indicated by reference numeral 39 in FIGURE 4 ⁇ to the underlying remaining transfer tape 30 (all of the components illustrated in FIGURE 2 except for the adhesive 24, which adheres to die face stock 35), with the transfer tape 30 providing a record copy of the image 38/39.
- a conventional CB coating is applied to the second coating 28. This is illustrated schematically at 41 in FIGURE 1, me CB coating being shown at 42 in FIGURE 2.
- the CB coating 42 is then applied over a CF coated sheet 43 (see FIGURE 2) the image 38 transferred onto die face stock 35 will also not only transfer as indicated at 39 in FIGURE 4 to the self- contained sheet 11, but will also transfer to the CF sheet 43.
