Abstract
A label is provided. The label includes a substrate with diamond-shaped adhesive patches disposed on a pattern on a backside of the substrate. In an embodiment, the label has a peel value within a range of 130-150 gram force (gf) per inch (gf/in) based on the pattern. In an embodiment, the diamond-shaped adhesive patches include a first diamond-shaped adhesive patch and a second diamond-shaped adhesive patch, the size of the first diamond-shaped adhesive patches is greater than the size of the second diamond-shaped adhesive patch. In an embodiment, each first diamond-shaped adhesive patch surrounds a corresponding second adhesive patch without intersecting or touching the corresponding second adhesive patch.
Claims14
A label, comprising:
- a substrate;
- and
- diamond-shaped adhesive patches disposed in a pattern on a backside of the substrate;
- wherein the label comprises a peel value within a range of 130-150 gram force (gf) per inch (gf/in) based on the pattern;
- where each diamond-shaped adhesive patch is configured to ensure consistent pull and energy exerted by a printer as the label proceeds through a printer web path, thereby allowing for consistent wear or a platen roller of the printer;
- wherein the diamond-shaped adhesive patches comprise first diamond-shaped adhesive patches of a first size and second diamond-shaped adhesive patches of a second size, wherein the first size is greater than the second size, and wherein each first diamond-shaped adhesive patch surrounds a corresponding void area, the corresponding void area surrounds a corresponding second diamond-shaped adhesive patch.
A label, comprising:
- a substrate;
- and
- first diamond-shape adhesive patches and second diamond-shaped adhesive patches disposed in a pattern on a backside of the substrate;
- wherein the pattern comprises void areas separating the first diamond-shaped adhesive patches from the second diamond-shaped adhesive patches, wherein the void areas on the backside of the substrate are devoid of any adhesive;
- wherein the first diamond-shaped adhesive patches are configured to intersect with at least two other first diamond-shaped adhesive patches within the pattern, promoting an even distribution of pressure on a platen roller of a printer;
- wherein the first diamond-shaped adhesive patches are larger than the second diamond-shaped adhesive patches, and wherein each first diamond-shaped adhesive patch surrounds a corresponding void area, the corresponding void area surrounds a corresponding second diamond-shaped adhesive patch.
A roll of labels, comprising:
- a web of a substrate;
- and
- diamond-shaped adhesive patches disposed in a pattern on a backside of the substrate, wherein each instance of a pattern on the backside of the substrate defining a label for the roll;
- wherein each label comprises a peel value within a range of 130-150 gram force (gf) per inch (gf/in) based on the pattern;
- wherein the pattern of the diamond-shaped adhesive patches is configured to minimize adhesive buildup on components of the printer, thereby reducing a likelihood of printer malfunction or substrate jamming;
- wherein the diamond-shaped adhesive patches comprise first diamond-shaped adhesive patches of a first size and second diamond-shaped adhesive patches of a second size, wherein the first size is greater than the second size, and wherein each first diamond-shaped adhesive patch surrounds a corresponding void area, the corresponding void area surrounds a corresponding second diamond-shaped adhesive patch.
