Abstract
A label for application to a support surface. The label includes a moisture dissipative layer applied to a major surface of a sheet member. A layer of pressure sensitive adhesive is applied to the moisture dissipative layer opposite the sheet member for securing the label to a support surface. The label may be removed from the support surface without damage to the label by dissipating the moisture dissipative layer.
Claims13
A label for use with a support surface, comprising:
- (a) a sheet member having first and second opposing major surfaces;
- (b) a layer of moisture dissipative material applied to said second major surface of said sheet member;
- and
- (c) a pressure sensitive adhesive applied to said moisture dissipative layer opposite said second major surface of said sheet member for adhering said sheet member to the support surface;
- (d) so that said sheet member may be removed without damage from the support surface by dissipating said layer of moisture dissipative layer.
For use with a support surface, a plurality of labels, each of said labels comprising
- (a) a sheet member having a first major surface and an opposing second major surface,
- (b) a layer of moisture dissipative material applied to said second major surface of said sheet member,
- (c) a pressure sensitive adhesive applied to said moisture dissipative layer opposite said second major surface of said sheet member, and further comprising a common removable liner, wherein said sheet members are each releasably adhered to said common liner by said layer of pressure sensitive adhesive and each of said sheet members may be removed from said common liner and adhered to the support surface and then removed from the support surface by dissipating said moisture dissipative layer.
For use with a support surface, a plurality of labels, each of said labels comprising
- (a) a sheet member having a first major surface and an opposing second major surface,
- (b) a layer of moisture dissipative material applied to said second major surface of said sheet member,
- (c) a pressure sensitive adhesive applied to said moisture dissipative layer opposite said second major surface of said sheet member,
- wherein said plurality of labels are detachably connected together in end-to-end relation to form a roll so that said labels may be detached from said roll and adhered to the support surface and then removed from the support surface by dissipating said moisture dissipative layer.
For use with a support surface, a plurality of labels, each of said labels comprising
- (a) a sheet member having a first major surface and an opposing second major surface,
- (b) a layer of moisture dissipative material applied to said second major surface of said sheet member,
- (c) a pressure sensitive adhesive applied to said moisture dissipative layer opposite said second major surface of said sheet member,
- wherein said labels are are reciprocally secured together by said layers of pressure sensitive adhesive on each of said labels to form a pad of said labels so that said labels may be sequentially removable from said pad and adhered to the support surface and then removed from the support surface by dissipating said moisture dissipative layer.
