Abstract
A process for manufacturing a label that includes moving a web of a substrate along a first direction, placing a label upon a portion of the web, pressing the label onto the portion of the web so as to attach the label to the portion of the web and diminishing skewing of the portion of the web during the pressing.
Claims36
A label manufacturing system comprising:
- a web of a substrate that moves along a first direction;
- and
- a dispensing system comprising:
- a planar area that moves parallel to said first direction and below said web, wherein said web moves substantially independently of said planar area and said web lies upon said planar area;
- an applicator that places a label upon a portion of said web that lies above said planar area;
- and
- a second applicator that places a second label upon said label placed on said portion of said web that lies above said planar area.

A label manufacturing system comprising:
- a web of a substrate that moves along a first direction;
- and
- a dispensing system comprising:
- a planar area that moves parallel to said first direction and below said web, wherein said web moves substantially independently of said planar area and said web lies upon said planar area;
- and
- an applicator that places a label upon a portion of said web that lies above said planar area, wherein said applicator places a second label upon a second portion of said web simultaneously with the placement of said label upon said portion of said web that lies above said planar area.

A process for manufacturing a label comprising:
- moving a web of a substrate along a first direction;
- moving a planar area parallel to said first direction and below said web, wherein said web lies upon said planar area and said moving of said web is performed substantially independently of said moving said planar area;
- placing a label upon a portion of said web that lies above said planar area;
- pressing said label onto said portion of said web so as to attach said label to said portion of said web;
- and
- controlling the linear speed of said web along said first direction relative to the linear speed of said planar portion parallel to said first direction so as to diminish the risk that said web becomes skewed during said pressing.

- moving a planar area parallel to said first direction and below said web, wherein said web lies upon said planar area and said moving of said web is performed substantially independently of said moving said planar area;
- placing a label upon a portion of said web that lies above said planar area;
- and
- attaching said label to a second web prior to said placing.
