Shrinkable polymeric labels

Abstract

The present invention provides a process for labeling a surface with a shrinkable polymeric label, said method including the steps of: (a) printing indicia on at least one surface of a shrinkable polymeric label substrate with a printing composition which imparts anti-static properties to said shrinkable polymeric label substrate; or printing indicia on a shrinkable polymeric label substrate on a surface which may or may not have a layer of an anti-static agent, said shrinkable polymeric surface having a layer of an anti-static layer on at least one surface; or printing indicia on a shrinkable polymeric label substrate which has dispersed therein an anti-static composition; (b) cutting the product of step (a) into discrete labels; and (c) contacting a surface to be labeled with said shrinkable polymeric label to attach said shrinkable layer to said surface; and (d) shrinking said polymeric label on said surface.
