Abstract
A label for application to containers to be shipped under bottle-to-bottle contact conditions comprising a laminate structure of superposed layers of transparent film printed with indicia on the underside thereof, and adhered to an intermediate paper layer, said paper layer being adhered on its underside to a foam layer. The process for making the laminate is also disclosed.
Claims20
A flexible laminate for labels and labeling comprising superposed layers of:
- (a) a transparent film having indicia printed on the underside thereof for viewing from above,
- (b) a paper layer having top and bottom surfaces,
- (c) a foam layer having a top and bottom surface,
- (d) layers of adhesive bonding said film to the top surface of said paper and the bottom surface of said paper to said foam's top surface.
A laminate for labels and labeling comprising:
- a foam support having an obverse and reverse side and a layer of paper mounted on the obverse side of said support, and
- a film layer mounted on said paper said film layer having printed indicia on the underside thereof.
A flexible laminate forlabels and labeling comprising:
- (a) a reverse printed film layer bonded to a foam support;
- (b) a printer 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 flexible laminates for labels which comprises:
- (a) bonding a printed film layer to a paper substrate with adeshive and pressure, and
- (b) bonding the prelaminate 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 to foam substrate using a high excess of adhesive and pressure of less than about 100 psi, and
- (b) bonding a reverse printed 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 one side of paper layer to a reverse printed film substrate under high pressure, wherein said paper is dimensioned smaller than said film, bonding said film and the second side of the paper to a foam substrate.
A container having a printed indicia thereon comprising a foam container, having a layer of paper adhered to said foam container, and a layer of reverse printed film adhesed at least to said paper.
