Abstract
A method for forming a large number of labels from a base sheet on which markings and symbols are imprinted on rows and columns. This base is reinforced with a transparent sheet cemented to the front of the base and/or a backing foil or material cemented to the rear face of the base. Perpendicular edges are cut, parallel to the rows and perpendicular to the columns respectively. Cuts are then made making individual strips. The strips are realigned, connected together and cuts are made, separating the reconnected base into a series of labels.

Method of preparing a large number of labels using a base sheet having a front and rear face, the method comprising the steps of:
- (1) placing markings on said front face for rows and columns and placing symbols of the labels on said front face of said base sheet arranged in said rows and columns;
- (2) forming a composite sheet by cementing at least one reinforcement sheet onto said base sheet;
- (3) cutting said composite sheet along a first outer edge parallel to said rows and along a second side edge perpendicular to said first outer edge;
- (4) laying said composite sheet with one of said first and second edges against a bearing surface and cutting said composite sheet through both said base sheet and said at least one reinforcement sheet in a first direction perpendicular to said one of said first and second edges along said markings into disconnected strips;
- (5) connecting said strips in their original alignment by applying a carrier material to said strips;
- and
- (6) laying said connected strips with the remaining edge against a bearing surface and cutting said strips along said markings in a second direction perpendicular to said first direction.
Method for preparing a large number of labels using a base sheet having a front face and a rear face, the method comprising the steps of:
- (1) placing markings on said front face and symbols of the labels on said front face of said base sheet arranged in said rows and columns;
- (2) forming a composite sheet by cementing at least on reinforcement sheet onto said base;
- (3) cutting said composite sheet along a first outer edge parallel to said rows and along a second side edge perpendicular to said first outer edge;
- (4) laying said composite sheet with said second edge against a bearing surface and cutting said composite sheet through both said base sheet and said at least one reinforcement sheet row-by-row along said row markings into disconnected strips;
- (5) aligning said strips with respect to one of said columns and connecting said strips with a carrier material;
- (6) cutting along the edges of said one column so as to separate said one column from the remainder of said base sheet, leaving free the remaining portion of each of said strips and carrier material;
- and
- (7) repeating steps (5) and (6) for said remaining portions of said strips.
Method of preparing a large number of labels using a base sheet having a front and rear face, the method comprising the steps of:
- (1) placing markings on said front face for rows and columns and placing symbols of the labels on said front face of said base sheet arranged in said rows and columns;
- (2) cementing at least one reinforcement sheet onto said base sheet;
- (3) cutting said base sheet and said at least one reinforcement sheet along said row markings into disconnected strips;
- (4) rearranging said strips so that the strips of one column are realigned;
- (5) applying a carrier material to said strips in the area of said one column;
- (6) cutting said strips along the markings of said one column;
- and
- (7) repeating said steps of realigning, applying a carrier material and cutting along the markings of the columns for each of the remaining columns.
