Abstract
Adhesive labels are manufactured by cutting windows in an upper layer of a support web (2) through to a lower silicon coated material. Folded leaflets (15) are then adhered by lines of adhesive (11, 12, 13) to the support web (2) and the combination is die-cut to form individual adhesive labels with part of the die-cut folded leaflet extending beyond an edge of a base label formed from the window in the support web. This method of manufacture permits more complex label structures to be constructed without pre-cutting individual base labels.
Claims19
A method of manufacturing adhesive labels including a base label and a multi-page leaflet secured thereto, the method comprising:
- providing a support web on a web of release material, the support web having a plurality of windows exposing portions of the web of release material therethrough;
- securing a plurality of multi-page leaflets to a top surface of the support web such that an end region of each multi-page leaflet overlies one or more windows;
- directly releasably adhering portions of said end regions of said multi-page leaflets to regions of the exposed portions of the web of release material by providing a resealable adhesive between said regions of the exposed portions of the web of release material and said end regions of said multi-page leaflets;
- and cutting the multi-page leaflets and the support web to define a plurality of adhesive labels each having a portion of the multi-page leaflet adjacent the web of release material.
A method of manufacturing adhesive labels including a base label and a multi-page leaflet secured thereto, the method comprising:
- providing a support web on a web of release material, the support web having a plurality of windows exposing portions of the web of release material therethrough;
- securing a plurality of multi-page leaflets to a top surface of the support web such that an end region of each multi-page leaflet overlies one or more windows, directly releasably adhering portions of said end regions of said multi-page leaflets to regions of the exposed portions of the web of release material;
- and cutting the multi-page leaflets and the support web to define a plurality of adhesive labels each having a portion of the multi-page leaflet adjacent the web of release material;
- further comprising initial steps of providing a continuous support web on a web of release material, cutting a plurality of windows in the support web as far as the web of release material and disposing of the cut patches of the support web, wherein the cut patches are removed by passing the support web over a projecting edge with the release material facing towards the projecting edge.
A method of manufacturing adhesive labels including a base label and a multi-page leaflet secured thereto, the method comprising:
- providing a support web on a web of release material, the support web having a plurality of windows exposing portions of the web of release material therethrough;
- securing a plurality of multi-page leaflets to a top surface of the support web such that an end region of each multi-page leaflet overlies one or more windows;
- directly releasably adhering portions of said end regions of said multi-page leaflets to regions of the exposed portions of the web of release material;
- and cutting the multi-page leaflets and the support web to define a plurality of adhesive labels each having a portion of the multi-page leaflet adjacent the web of release material;
- wherein each of the multi-page leaflets has a spine end region and a free end region, and said end region that overlies the one or more windows comprises said spine end region.
An adhesive label assembly comprising a web of release material, a plurality of base labels formed from a support web and releasably adhered to the web of release material, a multi-page leaflet disposed on each one of the plurality of base labels such that an end region of each multi-page leaflet extends beyond an edge of the respective base label to overlie a portion of the release material, the end region of the multi-page leaflet comprising a free end region that is continuous with said multi-page leaflet and is remote from the respective base label, and wherein a portion of the end region between said free-end region and the portion of said multi-page leaflet that overlies the respective base label is directly releasably held to the release material by a resealable adhesive provided between said portion of said end region of each of said multi-page leaflets and said release material.
A method of manufacturing an adhesive label assembly comprising:
- providing a web of release material with a web of label material adhered thereto;
- cutting a plurality of patches through the web of label material to the release material;
- and removing the patches to form windows exposing regions of the release material;
- wherein the patches are removed from the web of label material by passing the web of release material with the web of label material adhered thereto about a projecting edge.
