Abstract
The invention provides a method for labeling a glass, plastic or metal container or surface with a polymeric label by means of a water based adhesive composition by the following steps: (a) selecting a polymeric label having a density of less than 0.9; (b) applying a water based adhesive to said polymeric label to form a fastenable polymeric label; (c) fastening said fastenable polymeric label to a glass, plastic or metal container or surface; and (d) allowing said polymeric label to dry on said glass, plastic or metal surface or container.
Claims26
A plastic, metal or glass container having a polymer patch label consisting essentially of a microvoided low density polymer film and a dried water based adhesive within said microvoided polymer film said dried water based adhesive being such that the polymer patch label would feed from a label magazine or gripper in which a portion of a water based adhesive has migrated into said polymer film and has formed a dried water based adhesive during a drying cycle, wherein said low density polymer has a density of less than 0.9, and said dried water based adhesive is formed by applying a water based adhesive to said polymer patch label by post mold wet application of a water based adhesive by using a cut label machine and thereafter drying said water based adhesive after affixing said polymer patch label to said container.
A glass, plastic or metal container having a polymer patch label comprising a microvoided low density polymer film and a dried water based adhesive within said microvoided polymer film said dried water based adhesive being such that the polymer label would feed from a wet applied cut label machine in which a portion of al water based adhesive has migrated into said polymer film and has formed a dried water based adhesive during a drying cycle, wherein said low density polymer has a density of less than 0.9, and said dried water based adhesive is formed by applying water based adhesive to said polymer patch label and drying said water based adhesive after affixing said polymer label to said container wherein said low density polymeric label has a hydrophilic layer.
