Abstract
The present application is directed to methods for applying multiple labels to an object. An exemplary method comprises affixing an inner label to the object, then affixing an outer label over the inner label. One or more edges of the outer label may be coupled to the inner label using a releasable or a resealable adhesive such that the outer label may be decoupled from the inner label.
Claims37
A method for applying multiple labels to an object, comprising:
- affixing an inner label to the object using permanent adhesive from a first adhesive application device;
- applying non-resealable adhesive from a second adhesive application device to a leading edge of an outer label;
- affixing the outer label leading edge to the inner label;
- applying resealable adhesive from a third adhesive application device to a trailing edge of the outer label;
- and
- releasably coupling the outer label trailing edge to the outer label leading edge, thereby obscuring from view at least a portion of the inner label.
A method for applying multiple labels to an object, comprising:
- affixing an inner label to the object using permanent adhesive from a first adhesive application device;
- applying breakaway adhesive from a second adhesive application device to a leading edge of an outer label;
- releasably coupling the outer label leading edge to the inner label;
- applying resealable adhesive from a third adhesive application device to a trailing edge of the outer label;
- and
- releasably coupling the outer label trailing edge to the outer label leading edge, thereby obscuring from view at least a portion of the inner label.
A method for applying multiple labels to an object comprising:
- affixing an inner label to the object using permanent adhesive from a first adhesive application device;
- applying non-resealable adhesive from a second adhesive application device to the inner label;
- contacting a leading edge of an outer label with the non-resealable adhesive to secure the outer label leading edge to the inner label;
- applying resealable adhesive from a third adhesive application device to the leading edge of the outer label;
- and
- releasably coupling the outer label trailing edge to the outer label leading edge, thereby obscuring from view at least a portion of the inner label.
A method for applying multiple labels to an object comprising:
- affixing an inner label to the object using permanent adhesive from a first adhesive application device;
- applying breakaway adhesive from a second adhesive application device to the inner label;
- contacting a leading edge of an outer label with the breakaway adhesive to releasably couple the outer label leading edge to the inner label;
- applying resealable adhesive from a third adhesive application device to the leading edge of the outer label;
- and
- releasably coupling the outer label trailing edge to the outer label leading edge, thereby obscuring from view at least a portion of the inner label.
