Abstract
Linerless labels with adhesive patches arranged in optimal adhesive patch patterns are provided. The adhesive patch patterns mitigate adhesive buildup on components of a printer when a roll of linerless labels is fed through a printer by minimizing the adhesive coverage area on the backside of the linerless labels without altering the adhesive bonding characteristics of the individual linerless labels dispensed from the printer.
Claims17
A label, comprising:
- a substrate;
- and
- an adhesive patch disposed on a backside of the substrate, wherein the adhesive patch disposed in a pattern of an adhesive on the backside, wherein the pattern is optimized to minimize adhesive coverage on the backside and minimize adhesive contact with components of a printer when the label is fed through the printer;
- wherein an adhesive coverage area of the adhesive patch is less than a remaining area of the backside;
- wherein the adhesive patch is disposed in a pattern that maintains adhesive bonding characteristics when the label is dispensed from the printer.

A roll of labels, comprising:
- a substrate;
- and
- adhesive patches disposed on a backside in a pattern, wherein each label is defined by one of the adhesive patches and identified by a sense mark disposed on the backside of the substrate under a corresponding patch;
- wherein the pattern minimizes a coverage area of an adhesive associated with the adhesive patches and minimizes adhesive contact with components of a printer when the roll is fed through the printer;
- wherein the adhesive patches are offset from sides of each label defining a perimeter along the backside that is devoid of any adhesive;
- wherein the pattern maintains adhesive bonding characteristics when individual labels are dispensed from the printer.
