Label for decorating a bottle, bottle and method of manufacture of such a label

A method of manufacturing a self-adhesive label produced in relief in order to visually and/or tactilely simulate decorative molding of a material of a container or a decorative seal applied to the container, the method comprising:

• a step of applying adhesive onto a first surface of a flexible plastic sheet, the flexible plastic sheet having a second surface opposite the first surface, the flexible plastic sheet having a periphery;
• a step of forming, on the second surface of the flexible plastic sheet, an extra thickness comprising a flexible plastic material, the extra thickness covering the periphery of the flexible plastic sheet to thereby form a decorative design simulating an engraved relief or an edge of a seal;
• and
• a step of jointly cutting i) a periphery of the extra thickness and ii) the periphery of the flexible plastic sheet to thereby form a cut edge in the extra thickness extending between an uppermost first surface and a lowermost second surface of the extra thickness and in the flexible plastic sheet, where the cut edge of the extra thickness is formed as a continuation of the cut edge of the flexible plastic sheet up to a lower surface of the flexible plastic sheet.

A self-adhesive label produced in relief in order to visually and tactilely simulate a decorative molding of a material of a container or a decorative seal or stamp applied to the container, the self-adhesive label comprising:

• a layer of adhesive;
• a flexible plastic sheet having a periphery with a cut edge, a lower first surface, and an upper second surface opposite the lower first surface, the lower first surface of the flexible plastic sheet being entirely covered by the layer of adhesive;
• and
• the extra thickness having an uppermost first surface and a lowermost second surface in contact with and covering the upper second surface of the flexible plastic sheet at least at the cut edge of the flexible plastic sheet,
• the extra thickness being comprised of a flexible plastic material from the uppermost first surface to the lowermost second surface,
• the extra thickness, from the uppermost first surface to the lowermost second surface, forming a decorative design simulating an engraved relief or an edge of a seal,
• the extra thickness having an cut edge continuing from i) a periphery of the lowermost second surface of the extra thickness to ii) a periphery of the uppermost first surface of the extra thickness,
• wherein the cut edge at the periphery of the lowermost second surface of the extra thickness and the cut edge at the periphery flexible plastic sheet coincide so that the cut edge of the extra thickness is a continuation of the cut edge of the flexible plastic sheet to the lower surface of the flexible plastic sheet.
