Abstract
A pressure sensitive label and method for preparing same, the pressure sensitive label comprising: (a) a support portion, the support portion including at least a carrier layer; and (b) a transfer portion over the support portion for transfer of the transfer portion to an article upon application of pressure while the transfer portion is in contact with the article. The transfer portion may include at least (i) a printable layer in contacting relationship with the carrier layer, and (ii) an ink layer positioned such that the printable layer is between the carrier layer and the ink layer.
Claims15
A pressure sensitive label comprising:
- (a) a support portion, said support portion including at least a carrier layer;
- and
- (b) a transfer portion over said support portion for transfer of the transfer portion to an article while the transfer portion is in contact with the article, said transfer portion including at least:
- (i) a printable layer in contacting relationship with the carrier layer, and (ii) an ink layer positioned such that said printable layer is between said carrier layer and said ink layer, wherein the printable layer includes about 30 wt % to about 50 wt % of a triacrylate ester monomer, about 10 wt % to about 12.5 wt % of a diacrylate ester monomer, about 10 wt % to about 12.5 wt % of an aromatic urethane acrylate, about 10 wt % to about 12.5 wt % of a difunctional acrylate, about 5 wt % to about 7 wt % of an acrylate oligomer, about 3 wt % to about 5 wt % of triethanolamine, and about 1 wt % to about 2 wt % of 4-phenylbenzophenone.
A pressure sensitive label comprising:
- (a) a support portion, said support portion including at least a carrier layer;
- and
- (b) a transfer portion over said support portion for transfer of the transfer portion to an article while the transfer portion is in contact with the article, said transfer portion including at least:
- (i) a printable layer in contacting relationship with the carrier layer,
- (ii) one or more ink layers positioned such that said printable layer is between said carrier layer and said one or more ink layers;
- and
- (iii) an adhesive layer;
- wherein all ink layers of the pressure sensitive label are positioned between the printable layer and the adhesive layer, wherein the printable layer includes about 30 wt % to about 50 wt % of a triacrylate ester monomer, about 10 wt % to about 12.5 wt % of a diacrylate ester monomer, about 10 wt % to about 12.5 wt % of an aromatic urethane acrylate, about 10 wt % to about 12.5 wt % of a difunctional acrylate, about 5 wt % to about 7 wt % of an acrylate oligomer, about 3 wt % to about 5 wt % of triethanolamine, and about 1 wt % to about 2 wt % of 4-phenylbenzophenone.
A pressure sensitive label comprising:
- (a) a support portion, said support portion including at least a carrier layer;
- and
- (b) a transfer portion over said support portion for transfer of the transfer portion to an article while the transfer portion is in contact with the article, said transfer portion including at least:
- (i) a printable layer in contacting relationship with the carrier layer, and
- (ii) one or more ink layers positioned such that said printable layer is between said carrier layer and said one or more ink layers;
- and
- wherein the printable layer includes about 30 wt % to about 50 wt % of a triacrylate ester monomer, about 10 wt % to about 12.5 wt % of a diacrylate ester monomer, about 10 wt % to about 12.5 wt % of an aromatic urethane acrylate, about 10 wt % to about 12.5 wt % of a difunctional acrylate, about 5 wt % to about 7 wt % of an acrylate oligomer, about 3 wt % to about 5 wt % of triethanolamine, and about 1 wt % to about 2 wt % of 4-phenylbenzophenone.
