Abstract
A method for manufacturing a roll of stock material for making a label having a shelf portion with PSA and a bib portion with deadened adhesive is provided. The shelf portion includes a layer of polymer. A continuous layer of paper is bonded to a continuous layer of poly with applied strips of catalyzed adhesive from a roller. Unbonded strips of poly are kiss-cut and removed to expose the paper between bonded strips of poly. A continuous layer of PSA is applied over the poly and exposed paper. Strips of deadening agent are applied over the layer of PSA that overlays the exposed paper. The PSA and deadening agent are cured and a release layer is applied over them.
Claims17
A method of manufacturing a hybrid adhesive laminated stock comprising the steps:
- providing a continuous roll of poly having a PSA side and an opposite catalyzed adhesive side, providing a continuous roll of face paper having a printing side and an opposite bonding side;
- providing a striped roller with rings, applying catalyzed adhesive from said rings on said striped roller in continuous parallel stripes in a machine direction on said bonding side of said face paper;
- permanently bonding said catalyzed adhesive side of said poly to said bonding side of said face paper where said parallel stripes of said catalyzed adhesive are applied and forming continuous parallel bonded stripes having defined edges to define a boundary between said parallel bonded stripes and continuous non-bonded pillow stripes;
- kiss cutting through said poly in said non-bonded pillow stripes adjacent one of said defined edges of one of said parallel bonded stripes;
- stripping said poly from said non-bonded pillow stripe and exposing parallel areas of said catalyzed adhesive side of said face paper, said exposed parallel areas located between said bonded stripes;
- applying a continuous layer of PSA over said bonded stripes and said exposed parallel areas located therebetween;
- and
- applying continuous parallel stripes of kill over said PSA that directly contact said bonding side of said face paper.

A method of manufacturing a hybrid adhesive label having a paper bib area and a poly reinforced adhesive area, said method comprising the steps:
- providing a continuous roll of poly having a PSA side and an opposite catalyzed adhesive side, providing a continuous roll of face paper having a printing side and an opposite bonding side;
- providing a striped roller, applying catalyzed adhesive from said striped roller in continuous parallel stripes on said bonding side of said face paper;
- bonding said catalyzed adhesive side of said poly to said bonding side of said face paper where said parallel stripes of said catalyzed adhesive are applied and forming continuous parallel bonded stripes adjacent continuously non-bonded pillow stripes;
- kiss cutting through said poly in said non-bonded pillow stripes adjacent an edge of one of said bonded stripes;
- and
- removing said poly from said non-bonded stripe and exposing parallel areas of said catalyzed adhesive side of said face paper, said exposed parallel areas located between said bonded stripes.
