Abstract
A label assembly comprised of a carrier strip and a plurality of labels. The carrier strip comprises at least a first backing layer and a layer of adhesive material located over said first backing layer. A second backing layer may be located over said adhesive layer. Predetermined areas are removed from the second backing area to expose the adhesive layer, which allows the labels to be removably adhered to the carrier strip. Sections may be further cutout of the carrier strip for a dual-sided printing arrangement.
Claims39
A label assembly comprising:
- a carrier strip, said carrier strip comprising:
- a first backing layer;
- a layer of adhesive material located over said first backing layer;
- a second backing layer located over said adhesive layer;
- a first predetermined area being removed from said second backing area to thereby expose said adhesive layer;
- and
- a label having a first end and a second end, said label being located on said carrier strip, said first end of said label overlying and removably adhering to said first predetermined area.
A label assembly for dual-sided printing comprising:
- a carrier strip, said carrier strip comprising:
- a first backing layer;
- a layer of adhesive material located over said first backing layer;
- a second backing layer located over said adhesive layer;
- a first predetermined area removed from said second backing area to thereby expose said adhesive layer;
- a second predetermined area removed from said second backing area to thereby further expose said adhesive layer;
- a label having a first end portion, a second end portion, and an intermediate portion, said label being located on said carrier strip, said first end of said label overlying and removably adhering to said first predetermined area;
- an aperture extending between said first and second label ends, said aperture underlying said intermediate portion of said label.
A label assembly for dual-sided printing comprising:
- a carrier strip, said carrier strip comprising:
- a first backing layer having a first cutout section including a marginal surface area;
- a layer of adhesive material overlying said first backing layer;
- a second backing layer overlying said adhesive layer, said second backing layer having a second cutout section defining the extent of said marginal surface area;
- a first predetermined area removed from said second backing area to thereby expose said adhesive layer;
- a second predetermined area removed from said second backing area to thereby further expose said adhesive layer;
- a label having a first end portion, a second end portion, and an intermediate portion, said label being located on said carrier strip, said first end of said label overlying and removably adhering to said first predetermined area;
- said intermediate portion of said label substantially overlying said first and said second cutout sections, said intermediate portion having a portion removably adhered to said marginal surface area.
A method for making a carrier strip for a label, said label having a first end portion, a second end portion, and an intermediate portion, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a first backing layer;
- coating said first backing layer with an adhesive material;
- providing a second backing layer;
- placing said second backing layer over said adhesive material and said first backing layer;
- adhering said second backing layer to said first backing layer;
- and
- cutting and removing a first predetermined area from said second backing layer, thereby exposing said adhesive material.
A label assembly comprising:
- a carrier strip, said carrier strip comprising:
- a first backing layer;
- a layer of adhesive material located over said first backing layer, said adhesive layer comprising a first predetermined area and a second predetermined area;
- and
- a label having a first end and a second end, said label being located on said carrier strip, said first end of said label overlying and removably adhering to said first predetermined area, said second end overlying and removably adhering to said second predetermined area.
