Abstract
A label including a lamination, a method of using such label and a method of making such label. The label may include a liner, a face stock having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, disposed over a portion of the liner. In addition, the label may include a laminating material having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface and a first edge and a second edge, wherein the laminating material is disposed over a portion of the liner and the second surface is proximate to said liner. Furthermore, the label may include at least two creases in the liner upon which the liner may be folded to locate the second surface of the laminating material over the first surface of the face stock.
Claims20
A label comprising:
- a liner including a first liner portion and a second liner portion;
- a face stock having a first face stock surface and a second face stock surface opposite said first face stock surface disposed over at least a portion of said first liner portion and at least a portion of said second liner portion, wherein said second face stock surface is proximate to said liner;
- a laminating material having a first laminating material surface and a second laminating material surface opposite said first laminating material surface and a first edge and a second edge, wherein said laminating material is disposed over at least a portion of said second liner portion and said second laminating material surface is proximate to said liner;
- and
- said second liner portion includes at least two creases, wherein one crease of said at least two creases is positioned between said first and second edges of said laminating material and said liner is capable of folding at said one crease positioned between said first and second edges of said laminating material to locate said second laminating material surface of said laminating material over said first face stock surface.
A method of forming a label including a laminating layer comprising:
- providing a liner including a first liner portion and a second liner portion;
- disposing a face stock over a portion of said first liner portion and said second liner portion, wherein said face stock has a first face stock surface and a second face stock surface, and said second face stock surface is proximate to said liner;
- disposing a laminating material over a portion of said second liner portion, wherein said laminating material has a first laminating material surface and a second laminating material surface and a first edge and a second edge, and said second laminating material surface is proximate to said liner;
- and
- providing at least two creases in said second liner portion, wherein one crease of said at least two creases is positioned between said first and second edges of said laminating material and wherein said second liner portion is capable of folding at said one crease to locate said second laminating material surface of said laminating material over said first face stock surface.
A method of laminating labels comprising:
- providing a label comprising:
- a liner including a first liner portion and a second liner portion,
- a face stock having a first face stock surface and a second face stock surface opposite said first face stock surface disposed over at least a portion of said first liner portion and said second liner portion, wherein said second face stock surface is proximate to said liner,
- a laminating material having a first laminating material surface and a second laminating material surface opposite said first laminating material surface and a first edge and a second edge, wherein said laminating material is disposed over at least a portion of said second liner portion, and said second laminating material surface is proximate to said liner, and
- said second liner portion including at least two creases wherein one crease of said at least two creases is positioned between said first and second edges of said laminating material;
- and
- folding said second liner portion at said creases to locate said second laminating material surface of said laminating material over said first face stock surface of said face stock.
