METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING INTERNALLY APERTURED PRESSURE-SENSITIVE LABELS

A method and apparatus for producing internally apertured pressure-sensitive labels adhered to a non-apertured liner begins with a label web adhered to a first liner. The internal aperture shapes are cut through the web only and not through the liner, forming apperture slugs separate from the web. The first liner is then removed from the web, and the separate aperture slugs adhere to and are removed with the liner. Next, the web, with apertures cut out, is adhered to a second liner and the label peripheries, in registry with the apertures, are cut through the web only and not through the liner, forming labels separate from the web. Finally, the web is removed from the second liner, leaving individually internally apertured labels on the non-apertured second liner.

METHOD OF FABRICATING A SLEEVE LABEL WITH MULTILAYERED INTEGRAL FLAPS

A sleeve label is fabricated from a sheet of polymeric material which is folded upon itself along at least three longitudinal fold lines, with the resulting four overlying layers then being joined together along a longitudinal seal line. The two outermost layers are longitudinally slit along the third fold line. The resulting structure forms a closed tube formed by the first two overlying layers, and two overlying separate flaps formed by the two outermost layers. By adding additional fold lines and additional slits, additional separate flaps can be formed to result in a structure in the nature of a multi-paged booklet.

The label 10 adheres by a combination of permanent and releasable adhesive which is either applied to portions of the release sheet or to the label 10 such that no base label or carrier label is required. Product information may be printed on the synthetic material, such that no additional over-laminate layer is required to protect the leaflet or booklet. This enables the finished label to be produced with minimum components. Also disclosed is a corresponding method of manufacture of the label.
