Abstract
A lenticular label for a container, such as a curved glass bottle, is formed of a lenticular array having a plurality of lenticules on a front face and a smooth back face and a compliant base layer having first and second faces. A first adhesive is disposed between the first face of the compliant base layer and the smooth back face of the lenticular array. The first adhesive is in substantial contact with both the first face of the compliant base layer and the smooth back face of the lenticular array. A second adhesive is disposed upon the second face of the base layer.
Claims20
A lenticular label for a container having:
- a lenticular array having a plurality of lenticules on a front face and a smooth back face;
- a compliant base layer having first and second faces;
- a first adhesive disposed between the first face of the compliant base layer and the smooth back face of the lenticular array,
- wherein the first adhesive is in substantial contact with both the first face of the compliant base layer and the smooth back face of the lenticular array, and
- a second adhesive disposed upon the second face of the base layer.
A glass vessel having upon it a layered lenticular label structure comprising:
- a polymer coating incompletely covering at least a target label region of the glass vessel;
- a polymeric base stock;
- a layer of a first adhesive between the base stock and the polymer coating upon the glass vessel;
- a lenticular array having a lenticulated side and a planar side;
- interlaced printing upon the planar side of the lenticular array;
- and
- a layer of a second adhesive between the interlaced printing on said planar side of the lenticular array and the polymeric base stock.
A method for joining a glass vessel with a lenticular label comprising the steps of:
- applying an aerosolized polymer to at least one portion of an exterior of the glass vessel;
- forming at least one lenticular label that includes:
- a) a lenticular array having a lenticulated side and a planar side, b) interlaced printing upon the planar side, c) a polymeric base stock, d) a first adhesive joining the interlaced printing on the planar side of the lenticular array to one side of the polymeric base stock, e) a second adhesive also disposed upon the polymeric base stock located on the side opposite the side on which the first adhesive is located,
- incubating the at least one lenticular label;
- and
- applying the at least one lenticular label to the at least one portion of the exterior of the glass vessel by applying pressure to the at least one lenticular label to cause the at least one lenticular label to be applied to the glass vessel.
