Abstract
A contact clear, durable heat resistant single ply low cost packaging or labeling substrate having: (a) a clear heat resistant film selected from polyester films and cellulosic films having a top and a bottom surface and (b) a pressure sensitive adhesive layer on the bottom surface of the clear heat resistant polymer film that has a pressure sensitive adhesive and an amount of a solid filler which is effective to reduce oozing when the label substrate is passed through a high temperature printer.
Claims8
A method of making a contact clear, durable heat resistant single ply low cost packaging or labeling substrate from a clear heat resistant polymer film selected from the group consisting of polyethylene terephthalate and cellulose said method consisting of:
- (a) positioning a single acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive layer on a bottom surface of said heat resistant polymer film and drying said adhesive layer to form a dry coating matrix on said heat resistant polymer film, wherein the single acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive layer comprises an acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive and from 5-15 wt % of a solid filler selected from the group consisting of alumina trihydrate, clay, and starch, based on weight of the dry coating matrix, where the solid filler is effective to result in an increase in shear strength and reduction in cold flow, creep or ooze properties of said pressure sensitive adhesive layer;
- and
- (b) positioning a print receiving layer on a top surface of said clear heat resistant polymer film and
- (c) positioning a release liner on a bottom side of said clear heat resistant polymer film.
A method of making a contact clear, durable heat resistant single ply low cost packaging or labeling substrate from a clear heat resistant polymer film consisting of cellophane film, said method comprising:
- (a) positioning a single acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive layer on a bottom surface of said cellophane film and drying said adhesive layer to form a dry coating matrix on said cellophane film, wherein the single acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive layer comprises an acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive and from 5-15 wt % of alumina trihydrate, based on weight of the dry coating matrix;
- (b) positioning a print receiving layer on a top surface of said clear heat resistant polymer film.
