A flexible laminate for labels and labeling comprising superposed layers of:
- (a) protective transparent film
- (b) a paper layer having top and bottom surfaces, adapted to have printed indicia applied to the top surface thereof,
- (c) a foam layer
- (d) layers of adhesive bonding said film to the top surface of said paper and the bottom surface of said paper to said foam wherein all layers are of a thickness in the range of from 0.00025 to 0.25 inches.
A flexible laminate for labels and labeling comprising:
- a foam support having obverse and a reverse side, and having a layer of paper adapted to receive indicia mounted on the obverse side of said support, and
- a protective film layer mounted on said paper neither layer being thicker than about 0.25".
A flexible laminate for labels and labeling comprising:
- (a) a protective film layer bonded to a foam support;
- (b) a printed paper layer having either or both of its length and width of dimensions smaller than the film layer interposed between said film and said foam, and bonded to said film and said foam.
A process for the manufacture of laminates for labels which comprises
- (a) bonding the side of a paper substrate having printed indicia thereon to a protective film with adhesive and pressures, and
- (b) bonding the pre-laminate of the previous step to a foam substrate using a high excess of adhesive and pressure of less than about 100 psi.
A process for the manufacture of laminates for labels and labeling which comprises:
- (a) bonding a paper layer adapted to receive graphic material to a foam substrate using a high excess of adhesive and pressure of less than about 100 psi, and
- (b) bonding a protective film to the paper layer under pressure insufficient to be deleterious to the cell structure of the foam.
A process for the manufacture of laminates for labels and labeling which comprises:
- (a) adhesively bonding the side of a paper substrate that has printed indicia thereon to a protective film under pressure wherein said paper is dimensioned smaller than said film,
- (b) bonding said film and the second side of the paper to a foam substrate.
A container having printed indicia thereon comprising a foam container having a layer of printed paper adhesed on the non-printed side to said foam container, and a layer of protective film adhesed at least to said paper.
