Abstract

The label has an upper film section (102), a lower film section, linked with the upper film section, and an adhesive layer which is applied to the face of the lower film section facing away from the upper film section. The lower film section is produced from a non-shrink film and its dimensions on all edges of the label are smaller than that of the upper film section. An independent claim is included for a method for producing the label.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein gegen Ausbluten von Haftklebstoff gesichertes Etikett sowie dessen Herstellung.The present invention relates to a secured against bleeding of pressure-sensitive adhesive label and its preparation.

Aus EP 0 951 004 A2 ist ein Etikett bekannt, das eine unter Wärmeeinwirkung rückschrumpfende Folienschicht aufweist. Die Folienschicht ist ein Laminat aus zwei Schichten, die unterschiedliche Schrumpfungsgrade aufweisen. Durch die unterschiedlichen Schrumpfungsgrade kommt es bei Wärmeeinwirkung zu einer Art Bimetalleffekt, der dazu führt, dass sich die Etikettenränder von dem Untergrund, auf den das Etikett aufgeklebt ist, lösen.Out EP 0 951 004 A2 For example, a label is known which has a film layer shrinking back under the action of heat. The film layer is a laminate of two layers having different degrees of shrinkage. Due to the different degrees of shrinkage occurs when exposed to heat to a kind of bimetal effect, which causes the label edges of the substrate to which the label is adhered, solve.

Der Haftklebstoff von Etiketten neigt häufig zum Ausbluten. Darunter versteht man das Austreten von Klebstoff über die Etikettenkontur hinaus. Ausbluten kann beispielsweise während der Weiterverarbeitung, auf dem Transport zum Kunden oder aber bei der Lagerung auftreten. Der austretende Haftklebstoff führt zum Verkleben gerollter Etikettenbahnen und kann sich auch anderweitig negativ auswirken, beispielsweise bei der Nachbeschriftung oder anderen Weiterverarbeitungsschritten. So können durch ausgetretenen Klebstoff Drucksysteme (für die Nachbeschriftung des Etiketts) verunreinigt werden.The pressure-sensitive adhesive of labels often tends to bleed. This refers to the emergence of adhesive beyond the label contour. Bleeding may occur, for example, during further processing, on the transport to the customer or during storage. The emerging pressure-sensitive adhesive leads to the sticking of rolled label webs and can also have other negative effects, for example in the case of re-lettering or other further processing steps. Thus, by leaked adhesive printing systems (for the Nachbeschriftung of the label) can be contaminated.

Ausbluten tritt insbesondere dann auf, wenn Klebstoffe mit hoher Fließfähigkeit (wie etwa bestimmte Sonderklebstoffe) verwendet werden und/oder hohe KlebstoffAuftraggewichte vorliegen. Um sichere Haftung auf Unterlagen mit schwierigen Oberflächenverhältnissen zu gewährleisten, lässt sich jedoch oft der Einsatz entsprechend fließfähiger Klebstoffe mit entsprechend hohen Auftragsgewichten nicht vermeiden.Bleeding particularly occurs when high flow adhesives (such as certain specialty adhesives) are used and / or high adhesive load weights are present. In order to ensure secure adhesion to substrates with difficult surface conditions, however, the use of appropriately flowable adhesives with correspondingly high application weights can often not be avoided.

Zu den üblichen Maßnahmen gegen Ausbluten gehört insbesondere die Kühlung bei Transport, Lagerung und/oder Weiterverarbeitung. Allerdings erfordern Kühlsysteme generell einigen technischen Aufwand und verursachen aufgrund Ihres Energieverbrauchs hohe Betriebskosten.The usual measures against bleeding include, in particular, the cooling during transport, storage and / or further processing. However, cooling systems generally require some technical effort and cause high operating costs due to their energy consumption.

Eine alternative Möglichkeit der Vermeidung des Klebstoffblutens besteht in einer speziellen Gestaltung der Etiketten selbst. Eine derartige Lösung ist in der Offenlegungsschrift DE 10235218 A1 ausgeführt. Hier wird ein mehrlagiges Etikett mit einer schrumpfbaren Unterfolie bereitgestellt. Durch die Schrumpfung der Unterfolie entsteht am Rand ein klebstofffreier Bereich. Derartige Etiketten haben sich in der Anwendung als sehr wirksam erwiesen, sie können jedoch nicht in allen Fällen zur Anwendung kommen. Insbesondere bei Anwendungen in Bereichen, die erhöhten Temperaturen ausgesetzt sind, besteht die Gefahr des "Nachschrumpfens" der Unterfolie, so dass der klebstofffreie Rand undefiniert größer wird als ursprünglich vorgesehen.An alternative way of avoiding the bleeding of the adhesive is a special design of the labels themselves. Such a solution is in the Laid-open publication DE 10235218 A1 executed. Here, a multi-layer label is provided with a shrinkable lower film. The shrinkage of the lower film creates an adhesive-free area on the edge. Such labels have proven to be very effective in the application, but they can not be used in all cases come. In particular, in applications in areas exposed to elevated temperatures, there is the risk of "re-shrinking" of the lower film, so that the adhesive-free edge becomes undefined larger than originally intended.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein gegen Ausbluten von Haftklebstoff gesichertes Etikett zu schaffen. Dabei soll die Gefahr des Nachschrumpfens, speziell der Unterfolie (aber auch der Oberfolie) vermieden werden. Weiterhin soll ein geeignetes Verfahren zur Herstellung eines derartigen Etiketts bereitgestellt werden.It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a secured against bleeding of pressure-sensitive adhesive label. The risk of re-shrinking, especially the lower film (but also the upper film) should be avoided. Furthermore, a suitable method for producing such a label is to be provided.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Etikett gemäß Anspruch 1 gelöst, welche jeweils mindestens einen Oberfolienabschnitt, einen mit dem Oberfolienabschnitt verbundenen Unterfolienabschnitt und eine Haftklebstoffschicht aufweist, welche an der vom Oberfolienabschnitt abgewandten Seite des Unterfolienabschnitts angebracht ist. Bei diesem Etikett ist der Unterfolienabschnitt aus einer bei Temperaturen bis 50 Grad Celsius nicht schrumpfbaren Folie gebildet und in seiner Flächenausdehnung zu allen Seiten geringfügig kleiner gehalten als der Oberfolienabschnitt. Hierdurch entsteht zu allen Kanten hin ein Bereich, in dem kein oder nur geringfügig Klebstoff vorhanden ist, da der Oberfolienabschnitt den Unterfolienabschnitt umlaufend überragt. Dieser Überstand ist vorzugsweise nicht größer als 1,5 mm. Besonders bevorzugt ist für viele Einsatzzwecke ein Überstand von etwa 0,2 bis 0,5 mm. Auch der Oberfolienabschnitt ist vorzugsweise aus einem nicht schrumpfenden Material ausgebildet, mindestens aber aus einem nur zu geringer Schrumpfung neigenden, um eine spätere Reduzierung des Überstandes durch Schrumpfung des Oberfolienabschnitts zu vermeiden. Entscheidend für die Absicherung des Etiketts gegen Klebstoffausbluten ist, dass der Oberfolienabschnitt zumindest nicht unter Lager und Transportbedingungen wesentlich schrumpft, da dadurch die negativen Effekte des Ausblutens besonders kritisch werden können. Ist das Etikett im verklebten Zustand extremeren Umwelteinflüssen ausgeliefert, kann ein geringes Schrumpfverhalten des Oberetiketts bis zu einem gewissen Grad toleriert werden, da austretender Klebstoff dann eventuell keine funktionsmindernden Effekte des Effekts mit sich bringt.This object is achieved by a label according to claim 1, which in each case has at least one upper film section, a lower film section connected to the upper film section and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer which is attached to the side of the lower film section facing away from the upper film section. In this label, the bottom film section is formed from a non-shrinkable at temperatures up to 50 degrees Celsius film and kept slightly smaller in its surface area to all sides than the top film section. As a result, an area in which there is no adhesive or only a small amount of adhesive is produced, since the upper film section projects beyond the lower film section in all directions. This supernatant is preferably not larger than 1.5 mm. For many purposes, a supernatant of about 0.2 to 0.5 mm is particularly preferred. Also, the upper film portion is preferably formed of a non-shrinking material, but at least inclined from a too low shrinkage, to avoid a subsequent reduction of the supernatant by shrinkage of the upper film portion. Decisive for the protection of the label against adhesive bleeding is that the upper film section at least does not shrink significantly under storage and transport conditions, as this can be particularly critical negative effects of bleeding. If the label is delivered in the bonded state of more extreme environmental influences, a slight shrinkage behavior of the top label can be tolerated to some extent, since leaking adhesive then may not have any effect-reducing effects of the effect.

Neben anderen Möglichkeiten können Ober- und Unterfolienabschnitt vorteilhaft durch Koextrusion verbunden sein, vorzugsweise ist die Verbindung zwischen Oberfolienabschnitt und Unterfolienabschnitt jedoch als Klebstoffschicht ausgeführt, welche vorzugsweise eine flächenbezogene Auftragsmasse von unter 30 Gramm pro Quadratmeter aufweist, um auch Ausbluten dieser Klebstoffschicht zu vermeiden. Aus dem selben Grund wird für die Klebstoffschicht zwischen Ober- und Unterfolienabschnitt vorzugsweise ein relativ "harter", d.h. wenig zum Fließen neigender Acrylatkleber gewählt. Alternativ zu derartigen Klebstoffen ist die Verwendung eines Kaschierlacks möglich oder anderweitige Verbindungen mit Hilfe chemischer oder physikalischer Einflüsse, beispielsweise durch chemische oder herkömmliche (durch Wärmeeinwirkung hervorgerufene) Verschweißung.Among other possibilities, the upper and lower film sections can advantageously be connected by coextrusion, but preferably the connection between the upper film section and lower film section is designed as an adhesive layer, which preferably has a surface-related coating weight of less than 30 grams per square meter, in order to avoid bleeding of this adhesive layer. For the same reason, for the adhesive layer between the top and bottom film sections, preferably a relatively "hard", i. chosen to flow tending acrylate adhesive. As an alternative to such adhesives, the use of a laminating lacquer is possible or otherwise compounds by means of chemical or physical influences, for example by chemical or conventional (caused by heat) welding.

Die Haftklebstoffschicht auf der der Oberfolie abgewandten Seite des Unterfolienabschnitts ist dagegen, entsprechend dem üblichen Einsatzzweck einer Anbringung auf "schwierigen", d.h. besonders rauhen oder anderweitig haftungsunfreundlichen Oberflächen, vorzugsweise dicker als 40 µm, in der Praxis wohl meist zwischen 45 und 150 µm dick. In besonderen Fällen können auch Dicken der Haftklebstoffschicht von über 1 mm vorteilhaft sein. Um optimale Hafteigenschaften zu erreichen, werden vorzugsweise relativ weiche Haftklebstoffe aus modifiziertem Acrylat oder Kautschukmaterial verwendet.The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer on the side of the lower film section facing away from the upper film, on the other hand, is, in accordance with the usual purpose of attachment to "difficult", ie. particularly rough or otherwise adhesion-unfriendly surfaces, preferably thicker than 40 microns, in practice probably mostly between 45 and 150 microns thick. In special cases, thicknesses of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of more than 1 mm may also be advantageous. In order to achieve optimum adhesive properties, relatively soft pressure sensitive adhesives of modified acrylate or rubber material are preferably used.

Je nach Einsatzzweck können die erfindungsgemäßen Etiketten vorteilhafterweise unterschiedlichste Ausstattungsmerkmale aufweisen, welche aus der Etiketten-Anwendung bekannt sind. Dazu gehören Aufdrucke mit Text-, Bild- oder Code-Information, für die Nachbeschriftung optimierte Oberflächen oder Spezialfilme, Lumineszenzfarbschichten, Schutzschichten, Anstanzungen, Laschen, ablösbare Abschnitte und Sicherheitsmerkmale unterschiedlichster Ausprägung.Depending on the intended use, the labels according to the invention can advantageously have a wide variety of equipment features which are known from the label application. These include imprints with text, image or code information, surfaces optimized for postmarking or special films, luminescent color layers, protective layers, stampings, tabs, detachable sections and security features of various types.

Nachfolgend wird das erfindungsgemäße Etikett und entsprechende zu seiner Herstellung vorgesehene Verfahren unter Bezugnahme auf die zugehörigen Zeichnungen beschrieben. Die Darstellungen sind rein schematisch und nicht maßstabsgetreu; insbesondere sind Schichtdicken aus Anschaulichkeitsgründen stark vergrößert abgebildet.The label according to the invention and corresponding method provided for its production will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The illustrations are purely schematic and not to scale; In particular, layer thicknesses are shown greatly enlarged for reasons of clarity.

Das in Fig. 1 dargestellte Etikett 101 besteht aus einem Oberfolienabschnitt 102 und einem unterseitig mit Haftklebstoff 105 beschichteten Unterfolienabschnitt 103. Beide Folienabschnitte sind über eine Verbindungsschicht 104 miteinander verbunden. Die Verbindungsschicht kann ebenfalls ein Haftkleber sein, jedoch auch ein Kaschierlack. Weiterhin ist es möglich, dass beide Folienabschnitte aus einer koextrudierten Folie hergestellt wurden und somit die Verbindungsschicht 104 nicht notwendig ist. Der Unterfolienabschnitt wird aus einer nicht zu Schrumpfung neigenden Folie gebildet. Speziell zeigt diese Folie keine Schrumpfung bis zu einem Temperaturbereich bis 50 Grad Celsius, vorzugsweise bis 100 Grad Celsius. Der Unterfolienabschnitt ist an allen Rändern etwas kleiner dimensioniert als der Oberfolienabschnitt.This in Fig. 1 The label 101 shown consists of an upper film section 102 and a lower film section 103 coated on the underside with pressure-sensitive adhesive 105. Both film sections are connected to one another via a connecting layer 104. The bonding layer may also be a pressure-sensitive adhesive, but also a laminating paint. Furthermore, it is possible that both film sections were produced from a coextruded film and thus the connection layer 104 is not necessary. The lower film portion is formed from a non-shrinkable film. Specifically, this film shows no shrinkage up to a temperature range up to 50 degrees Celsius, preferably up to 100 degrees Celsius. The lower film section is dimensioned somewhat smaller at all edges than the upper film section.

In Fig. 2 wird das erfindungsgemäße (analog nummerierte) Etikett 201 in Draufsicht dargestellt. Sichtbar ist aufgrund seiner größeren Dimensionierung nur der Oberfolienabschnitt 202; der Unterfolienabschnitt 203 ist daher nur strichliert angedeutet.In Fig. 2 the inventive (similarly numbered) label 201 is shown in plan view. Visible is due to its larger dimensions, only the upper film portion 202; the lower film section 203 is therefore indicated only by dashed lines.

Aufgrund der größeren Dimensionierung des Oberfolienabschnitts 202 zeigt das erfindungsgemäße Etikett den selben Effekt wie ein solches, das aus zwei gleich großen Folienabschnitten besteht, bei dem der untere Folienabschnitt nachträglich geschrumpft wurde: Für den Klebstoff 105 (Figur 1) besteht ein durch den überlappenden Bereich des Oberfolienabschnitts ein gewisser Raum zur Ausbreitung, ohne dass es zu einem Ausbluten über den Etikettenrand hinaus kommt. Im Vergleich zu einem "vorgeschrumpften" Etikett nach Stand der Technik besteht der Vorteil jedoch darin, dass der Unterfolienabschnitt auch nach der Etikettierung unter anderen Umwelteinflüssen, beispielsweise Hitzeeinwirkung, nicht schrumpft.Due to the greater dimensioning of the upper film section 202, the label according to the invention has the same effect as one consisting of two film sections of equal size, in which the lower film section was subsequently shrunk: For the adhesive 105 (see FIG. FIG. 1 ) there is a certain space for propagation through the overlapping area of the top film section, without bleeding over the Label edge comes out. However, compared to a prior art "pre-shrunk" label, the advantage is that the sub-sheet portion does not shrink even after being labeled under other environmental conditions such as exposure to heat.

Fig. 3 zeigt ein bevorzugtes Herstellungsverfahren für das oben beschriebene Etikett: Ein Verbund 306 aus Trägerband und selbstklebend ausgestatteter erster Folienbahn wird an einer ersten Stanze A in Unterfolienabschnitte 303 gestanzt. Von einer zweiten Rolle 307 wird eine weitere Folienbahn zugeführt und auf die Unterfolienabschnitte kaschiert. Eine zweite Stanze B stanzt den Oberfolienabschnitt aus, der erfindungsgemäß zu allen Seiten hin größer dimensioniert ist als der Umriß des Unterfolienabschnitts. Das Etikett 301 ist das oben beschriebene Produkt, welches wieder auf Rolle aufgewickelt wird. Zur Vereinfachung der Darstellung wurde der Abzug der Gitter nach den beiden Stanzvorgängen in der Figur weggelassen. Fig. 3 shows a preferred manufacturing method for the label described above: A composite 306 of carrier tape and self-adhesive provided first film web is punched at a first punch A in lower film sections 303. From a second roller 307, a further film web is fed and laminated to the lower film sections. A second punch B punches the top film section, which according to the invention is dimensioned larger on all sides than the outline of the bottom film section. The label 301 is the product described above, which is rewound onto a roll. To simplify the illustration, the deduction of the grid after the two punching operations in the figure has been omitted.

Eine alternative Herstellungsmöglichkeit des Etiketts wird in Fig. 4 gezeigt. Ein koextrudierter, vorzugsweise mit Klebstoffschicht ausgestatteter Folienverbund 408, bestehend aus mindestens zwei Folien wird zunächst an einer Stanze A so gestanzt, dass nur die eine Folienlage durchgestanzt ist. Anschließend wird ein Trägerband 409 zugeführt. Danach wird an Stanze B die zweite Folienlage gestanzt, so dass wiederum - dieses Mal seitenverkehrt im Vergleich zu Fig. 3 - die erfindungsgemäßen Etiketten vorliegen und auf Rolle aufgewickelt werden können.An alternative manufacturing possibility of the label is in Fig. 4 shown. A coextruded, preferably provided with adhesive layer composite film 408, consisting of at least two films is first stamped on a punch A so that only one film layer is punched through. Subsequently, a carrier tape 409 is supplied. Thereafter, the second film layer is punched on punch B, so that again - this time wrong in comparison to Fig. 3 - The labels according to the invention are present and can be wound up on a roll.

Weiterhin ist es auch möglich, eine der beiden Folienabschnitte des Etiketts mit Hilfe eines Spendeverfahrens auf den anderen Abschnitt aufzubringen. Dieses Verfahren eignet sich besonders dann, wenn der Oberfolienabschnitt aus mehreren einzelnen Folien besteht oder anderweitig vorbehandelt wurde, beispielsweise mit komplizierten Bedruckungen versehen wurde, während der Unterfolienabschnitt aus einer einfachen, unbehandelten Folie besteht. Da der Schutz vor Klebstoffausbluten nur dann funktioniert, wenn beide Folienabschnitte nach dem Spenden passergenau aufeinander liegen, ist es von Nutzen, mit Hilfe von Kontrollsystemen, vorzugsweise elektronischen Bildüberwachungssystemen die Passergenauigkeit zu kontrollieren.Furthermore, it is also possible to apply one of the two film sections of the label by means of a dispensing method on the other section. This method is particularly suitable when the top film section consists of several individual films or was otherwise pretreated, for example, was provided with complicated printing, while the bottom film section consists of a simple, untreated film. Since the protection from adhesive bleeding only works if both foil sections are in registration with each other after dispensing, it is of advantage to use control systems, preferably Electronic image surveillance systems to control the registration accuracy.

Es versteht sich von selbst, dass derartige Kontrollsysteme auch bei der Steuerung der weiter oben beschriebenen Verfahren sinnvoll zur Anwendung kommen können.It goes without saying that such control systems can also be usefully used in the control of the methods described above.

Statt des herkömmlichen Spendeverfahrens, bei dem die Oberfolienabschnitte über eine Spendekante wie bei Etikettierverfahren auf den Unterfolienabschnitt gespendet werden kann auch ein Transferverfahren zum Spenden der Oberfolienabschnitte gewählt werden: Dabei liegen beide Folienabschnitte auf Trägerfolien vor, wobei die Oberfolienabschnitte von ihrem Träger auf die Unterfolienabschnitte transferiert werden. Die Verbindungsschicht zwischen den Oberfolienabschnitten und ihrem Träger verbleibt bei diesem Verfahren entweder auf dem Träger oder ist eine trocken zurückbleibende Schicht, die die spätere Oberseite des Etiketts bildet. Vorzugsweise ist diese Schicht daher bedruckbar. Das Transferverfahren bietet im Vergleich zum herkömmlichen Spendeverfahren den Vorteil, dass die Passergenauigkeit der beiden Folienabschnitte einfacher zu bewerkstelligen ist, wenn die Verarbeitungsmaschine einmal genau eingestellt wurde.Instead of the conventional dispensing method, in which the upper film sections are dispensed onto the lower film section via a dispensing edge as in labeling processes, a transfer process for dispensing the upper film sections can be selected: both film sections are on carrier films, the upper film sections being transferred from their carrier to the lower film sections , The tie layer between the topsheet sections and their backing either remains on the backing in this process or is a dry remaining layer which forms the later top surface of the label. Preferably, this layer is therefore printable. The transfer method offers the advantage compared to the conventional dispensing method that the registration accuracy of the two film sections is easier to accomplish once the processing machine has been set precisely.
