Abstract
A linerless adhesive carry handle. The carry handle can include a single layer of substrate material having a substantially elongated shape, two separate adhesive areas disposed at opposite ends of the substrate material, on the bottom surface thereof, a central non-adhesive area disposed on the bottom surface of the substrate between the two separate adhesive areas, and a release coating disposed on the top surface of the substrate, wherein the carry handle does not include a second layer of material covering the adhesive.
Claims20
A linerless adhesive carry handle, comprising:
- a single layer of substrate material having a substantially elongated shape;
- two separate adhesive areas disposed at opposite ends of the substrate material, on the bottom surface thereof;
- a central non-adhesive area disposed on the bottom surface of the substrate between the two separate adhesive areas;
- and
- a release coating disposed on the top surface of the substrate;
- wherein the carry handle does not include a second layer of material covering the adhesive.
A roll of linerless adhesive carry handles, comprising:
- a continuous strip of linerless adhesive carry handles arranged in end-to-end relation, each carry handle being separated from an adjacent carry handle by a line of weakness;
- wherein each carry handle comprises a single layer of substrate material having a substantially elongated shape, two separate adhesive areas disposed at opposite ends of the substrate material on the bottom surface thereof, and a central non-adhesive area disposed on the bottom surface of the substrate between the two separate adhesive areas, and a release coating disposed on the top surface of the substrate;
- wherein the continuous strip is arranged in a spiral configuration, with the adhesive areas being adhered to the top surface of the next-inner layer of the spiral;
- and
- wherein no second material that is not the substrate is adhered to the adhesive areas or disposed between the layers of the spiral.
A method of manufacturing a roll of adhesive carry handles, comprising:
- providing a roll of substrate material;
- increasing the surface tension of the material;
- printing indicia on the top surface of the substrate material;
- applying a release coating to the top surface of the substrate material;
- inverting the substrate material;
- providing transverse lines of weakness in the substrate material at desired intervals, each pair of lines of weakness defining the length of a carry handle therebetween;
- intermittently applying adhesive to the bottom surface of the substrate material such that each carry handle includes two separate adhesive areas at the opposite ends of the carry handle;
- providing longitudinal cuts in the substrate material, each pair of longitudinal cuts defining the width of a carry handle therebetween, thereby creating a plurality of continuous strips of carry handles;
- rewinding the continuous strips of carry handles in a spiral configuration, such that the adhesive areas are adhered to the top surface of the next-inner layer of the spiral, wherein no second material that is not the substrate is adhered to the adhesive areas or disposed between the layers of the spiral.
