Definitions

  • the present invention relates to labels which are adhesively attached to the outside of a stack of packages or articles which packages or articles are combined on a pallet typically by a stretch wrapped film.
  • stretch wrapped stacks are highly stable but due to the stretch in the film used for holding the stack together and depending on the compressibility of the packages or articles, the stack will shrink by a certain amount during further handing and shipment.
  • stretch wrapped stacks are usually provided with labels, which have to allow the stretch wrapped stack to shrink and be deformed to a certain extent during handing and shipment.
  • the present invention relates to labels, which are designed, to achieve a substantial improvement in stability after having been applied to a stretch wrapped stack of packages or articles.
  • Fig. 1 shows an individual label in accordance with the present invention.
  • Fig. 2 shows a continuous band of a multitude of labels also in accordance with the present invention.
  • the present invention relates to a label for adhesive application to a stack of articles which stack is combined with an exterior substrate such as a stretch wrapped film.
  • the label has a signal surface with indications, for example about the content of the stack, and on its opposed side an adhesive surface for the attachment to the exterior substrate of the stack of articles.
  • the adhesive surface is provided with a protective release cover which is releasably attached to the adhesive on the adhesive surface and the release cover has two separating lines, e.g. cuts, which generate two outer regions of the release cover and one center region intermediate the two outer regions. Each separating line divides one region of the release cover from the adjacent region of the release cover. This allows the release cover in the outer regions to be removed without having to remove the release cover in the center region.
  • the combination of the label and the release cover has a higher resistance against wrinkling than the label material alone, due to the additional release cover material.
  • a band of a multitude of labels as defined above is provided on a continuous release cover where only the outer regions are connected, preferably continuous, but the adjacent intermediate regions of the release cover of the adjacent labels are separated from each other.
  • the labels are provided by polymeric material.
  • the release cover is preferably provided by a continuous release cover, preferably a release coated paper strip.
  • the release coating can for example be a silicon coating.
  • the release cover is divided into regions by a micro cut process where the cutting is done after the label and the release cover are combined and the cutting only extends through the thickness of the release cover but does not cut into the label material.
  • a stack of articles is claimed, which is combined by a stretch film for protection and stability of the stack.
  • the stack has attached on the outside of the stretch film a label as defined above in which only the outer regions of the release cover are removed from the label to attach the label to the stretch film while maintaining the release cover in the central region on the label.
  • a stack of articles can for example be a number of small packages of products, such as plastic bags, comprising smaller quantities of products than the whole stack.
  • Such stacks of articles are typically created on a pallet such that they are easy to handle for shipment and transport.
  • the products inside each article for example a carton or a plastic bag, can be any kind of product that are subdivided into smaller quantities for further distribution, sale or handling.
  • a good example in this respect are absorbent products, such as diapers or sanitary napkins or adult incontinence products which are packed together in a small number, being reasonable for those purchasing such products.
  • the package in which these products are provided is typically a plastic bag.
  • the bags are intended to provide esthetic and protection from the environment of the product.
  • packages are referred to as articles and they are combined in a stack to form a larger shipment unit.
  • the most frequently used way of combination of such stacks into a unitary transportable and easy-to-handle unit is to palletize them and to wrap the whole pallet including the packages with a stretch wrapped film.
  • Such stacks of articles in accordance with the present invention are provided with the label according to the present invention in order to identify the content and possibly indicate other information about the content of such a stack.
  • the present invention addresses this problem by providing the label in accordance with Fig. 1 in which the label (10) is shown from its signaling surface. No signals are indicated on the label, but typically bar codes would be provided with the bars extending between line 25 and line 26 for reading e.g. by a laser scanner.
  • the label has four sides (11 ) and is provided with an adhesive surface on the reverse side of the signaling surface. Preferably the adhesive extends across the whole label on the adhesive surface, but is not required to be coextensive with the whole label.
  • the adhesive has to be selected such that the attachment to the exterior substrate of the stack is safely provided released from the release cover (20), is facilitated without problems.
  • the release cover (20) is shown to extend beyond the side edges (11 ) of the label on all four sides. This, however, is not necessary if the adhesive surface on the label does not extend to the side edges (11 ) of the label (10). In a practical embodiment the side edges of the release cover (20) may be co-extensive with and aligned with the side edges (11) of the label.
  • the release cover (20) has two separating lines (25, 26), which in the preferred embodiment shown in Fig. 1 , are provided by cutting the label along the lines (25, 26). These separating lines provide the release cover with two outer regions (21) and a center region (22). The release cover in each region can be removed from the label (10) individually without interfering with the remainder of the release cover.
  • the separating lines (25,26) do not need to divide the outer regions (22) from the center region (22) such that these regions are immediately adjacent. However for all practical purposes, the easiest construction is that wherein the separating lines (25,26) are provided by a micro cut that is run through the release cover while the label has already been joined by its adhesive to the release cover.
  • the same label and release cover construction as shown in Fig. 1 is combined to a band of labels on a release cover (20).
  • the continuous part of the release cover shown in Fig. 2 is that portion which continuously extends in the outer region (21 ) where the adjacent outer regions of one label and another label are not separated.
  • labels as shown in Fig. 1 could be made continuously by joining the adjacent outer regions (21) of the release cover (20) between two labels, for example with a tape tab.
  • the preferred embodiment as shown in Fig. 2 simply uses a continuous band of release cover material cut by micro-cutting along the separating lines (25, 26) in a continuous fashion and also provided with a center region separating line (27) where adjacent center regions between labels are disconnected.
  • this line (27) preferably is provided by the same cutting mechanism as the separating lines (25, 26).
  • the labels on such an endless band can be separated between labels and from the peripheral edges of the band as shown in Fig. 2.
  • the labels according to the present invention are preferably made from a polymeric film.
  • the film needs to allow easy provision of the signal indications.
  • films are provided as a role that can be unwound and be combined with the release cover material.
  • the release cover material is preferably provided by a release-coated paper again provided as a role.
  • Such roles can be combined by providing the adhesive for the label onto the release coated release cover surface, joining the release cover surface with the polymeric film of the label in which step also the adhesive transfers from the release cover surface to the label material.
  • the next step is cutting the label on one side of the laminate formed between the film, adhesive and release cover system in order to shape the labels. This cutting step can be such that no part of the polymeric film material needs to be removed.
  • the release cover needs to be cut along the separating lines (25, 26) and a further cut along line (27) separating adjacent center regions of the release cover between labels. This can be provided by micro cutting extending only into the depth of a material so it does not create a cut in the adhesive surface of the table.
  • the labels created in such a system may also be provided in shapes and designs other than simple rectangular as shown in the figures. For example rounded edges have found wide spread use in the field of labels which the present invention does of course also support. In principle the present invention allows combination with all those aspects of modern labeling technology usual in the art without removing any of the characteristic features of the present invention.

Abstract

L'invention se rapporte à des étiquettes qui sont fixées de manière adhésive à l'extérieur d'une pile de paquets ou d'articles qui sont combinés dans un plateau généralement au moyen d'un film enveloppé extensible. Des telles piles sont extrêmement stables mais en raison de l'étirement du film utilisé pour maintenir les piles ensemble et en fonction de la compressibilité des paquets ou des articles, la pile va rétrécir dans une certaine proportion au cours de la remise et de l'expédition ultérieures. Ces piles enveloppées extensibles sont généralement pourvues d'étiquettes qui permettent aux piles enveloppées extensibles de rétrécir et d'être déformées jusqu'à un certain point au cours de la remise et de l'expédition. L'invention en question concerne aussi des étiquettes qui sont conçues de manière à offrir une nette amélioration après avoir été appliquées sur une pile enveloppée extensible de paquets ou d'articles.
