Abstract
A continuous lenticular label construction including a lenticular assemblies joined with a continuous web so that the lenticules of the assemblies are transverse to the longitudinal axis of the web. A method of manufacture includes: advancing a continuous web of label stock and securing the lenticular assemblies to the continuous web with that lenticules of the lenticular assemblies oriented perpendicular to the length of the continuous web. Optionally, the continuous web defines or includes a window through which the lenticular assemblies are viewed.
Claims20
A continuous web of lenticular labels comprising:
- a label stock having a longitudinal axis;
- a first lenticular assembly including first lenticules adhered to the label stock, said first lenticules transverse to the longitudinal axis, said first lenticular assembly and said label stock forming a first lenticular label;
- a second lenticular assembly including second lenticules adhered to the label stock, said second lenticules transverse to the longitudinal axis, said second lenticular assembly and said label stock forming a second lenticular label, said first and second lenticular assemblies disposed on the label stock so that the first lenticules and the second lenticules are substantially parallel to one another;
- and
- a release liner secured to at least one of the label stock and the first and second lenticular assemblies.
A continuous web of lenticular labels comprising:
- a continuous label stock including a longitudinal axis and an adhesive;
- a plurality of lenticular assemblies, each including lenticules, said plurality of lenticular assemblies adhered to said continuous label stock with said adhesive wherein said lenticules are substantially transverse to said longitudinal axis and substantially parallel to one another.
A container label system comprising:
- a container including a container longitudinal axis;
- a base label including an adhesive thereon that adheres said base label to said container;
- and
- a lenticular assembly secured to said base label with said adhesive, said lenticular assembly including a plurality of lenticules and a plurality of images printed in alignment with said lenticules to form a visual effect image, said plurality of lenticules oriented substantially parallel with said container longitudinal axis, wherein the visual effect image is perceived by a viewer when the container is rotated about the container longitudinal axis.
A method of manufacturing a continuous lenticular label web comprising:
- advancing a continuous label stock web in a first direction;
- serially joining a plurality of lenticular assemblies, each including lenticules, with the continuous label stock so that the lenticules of each lenticular assembly are oriented substantially transverse to said first direction and substantially parallel to one another.
