Abstract
A label comprises an upper surface, a lower surface having an adhesive layer thereon to permit adherence of the label to a surface, and a handle portion. The handle has thereon a substantially centrally located pull tab and a series of cuts which permit unfolding of the handle portion into a hanging strip. The cuts are arranged such that the handle portion unfolds along the cuts when the pull tab is pulled. The handle portion has a deadening layer on the adhesive layer thereof.
Claims17
A label comprising:
- an upper surface;
- a lower surface having an adhesive layer thereon to permit adherence of the label to a surface;
- a handle portion having thereon a substantially centrally located pull tab and a series of cuts which permit unfolding of the handle portion into a hanging strip, the cuts defining a top strip near an upper edge of the label, a pair of middle strips extending outwardly from a substantially central portion of the handle portion, and a pair of lower strips extending outwardly from the substantially central portion of the handle portion, the cuts being arranged such that the handle portion unfolds along the cuts when the pull tab is pulled, the handle portion having a deadening layer on the adhesive layer thereof.
A label comprising an upper surface, a lower surface having an adhesive layer thereon to permit adherence of the label to a surface, a handle portion having thereon a series of cuts which define a substantially V-shaped handle portion, the V-shaped handle portion being folded on the label, and movable to an unfolded position so as to define a hanging strip, the handle portion having a deadening layer on the adhesive layer, the cuts defining a top strip near an upper edge of the label, a pair of middle strips extending outwardly from a substantially central portion of the handle portion, and a pair of lower strips extending outwardly from the substantially central portion of the handle portion.
A process for manufacturing a label including a first base label and a piggyback label thereon, the method comprising:
- forming a handle portion on the base label;
- applying a deadening label between an adhesive on a lower surface of the base label and the handle portion to permit easy unfolding of the handle portion into a hanging strip;
- applying a release layer to an upper surface of the label;
- laminating a piggyback label on the release coating;
- cutting through the piggyback label to provide such a piggyback label of desired shape;
- forming a notch at an apex of the handle portion, the notch being adapted to engage a holding bracket to prevent slippage on the bracket;
- and
- removing those portions of the piggyback label outside the cut so as to provide a small piggyback label thereon.
A label comprising:
- an upper surface;
- a lower surface having an adhesive layer thereon to permit adherence of the label to a surface;
- a handle portion having thereon a substantially centrally located pull tab with a rounded projection extending from an upper edge of the handle portion, and a series of cuts which permit unfolding of the handle portion into a hanging strip, the cuts being arranged such that the handle portion unfolds along the cuts when the pull tab is pulled, the handle portion having a deadening layer on the adhesive layer thereof, and a plurality of ties along one or more of the cuts, the ties being easily ruptured upon folding of the handle portion.
A label comprising an upper surface, a lower surface having an adhesive layer thereon to permit adherence of the label to a surface, a handle portion having thereon a series of cuts which define a substantially V-shaped handle portion, the V-shaped handle portion being folded on the label, and movable to an unfolded position so as to define a hanging strip, the handle portion having a deadening layer on the adhesive layer, the V-shaped handle portion having a notch at its apex adapted to engage a holding bracket to prevent slippage of the hanging strip on said bracket.
