Labels for use in hot and cold extremes and methods of making same

A system for making a dual temperature label, the label having a face stock and a liner, the system comprising:

• a first adhesive pattern applicator configured to apply a first adhesive to said liner;
• a second adhesive pattern applicator downstream of said first adhesive pattern applicator configured to apply a second adhesive to said liner;
• a first chill roller downstream of said first adhesive pattern applicator;
• said first chill roller configured to allow for said first adhesive applied to said liner to be transferred to said face stock;
• a second chill roller downstream of said second adhesive pattern applicator;
• said second chill roller configured to allow for said face stock to mate with said liner such that each of said first adhesive and said second adhesive is sandwiched between said face stock and said liner;
• and
• at least one non-stick roller configured to convey said face stock, together with said first adhesive transferred thereto, to said second chill roller;
• wherein:
• (a) said first adhesive is a hot temperature adhesive and said second adhesive is a cold temperature adhesive;
• or (b) said first adhesive is a cold temperature adhesive and said second adhesive is a hot temperature adhesive.

A method for making a dual temperature label, the label having a face stock and a liner, the method comprising:

• using a first adhesive pattern applicator to apply a first adhesive to said liner;
• transferring said first adhesive from said liner to said face stock via a first chill roller;
• using a second adhesive pattern applicator to apply a second adhesive to said liner after said first adhesive has been transferred therefrom to said face stock;
• and
• bringing said face stock in registry with said liner via a second chill roller to make said dual temperature label such that each of the first adhesive and the second adhesive is sandwiched between said face stock and said liner;
• wherein:
• (a) said first adhesive is a hot temperature adhesive and said second adhesive is a cold temperature adhesive;
• or (b) said first adhesive is a cold temperature adhesive and said second adhesive is a hot temperature adhesive.

A method of making a dual temperature label, the label having a face stock and a liner, the method comprising:

• computing a ratio of a hot adhesive to a cold adhesive based on a temperature range to be encountered by said label;
• disposing said hot adhesive on said liner based on said computed ratio;
• disposing said cold adhesive on said liner based on said computed ratio;
• removably adhering said liner to said face stock;
• wherein said hot adhesive and said cold adhesive are non-overlapping.
