Description

  The subject of the present invention is the support of adhesive labels, in particular bottles or other containers used in various fields such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, household goods and agricultural food or the automotive industry, in particular for cleaning The present invention relates to an adhesive label support intended to be bonded to a bottle used for shampoos, lotions, cosmetic creams or gels, respectively.

Conventionally, labels used in the cosmetic field are formed from self-adhesive sheets made of materials such as high-density polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene terephthalate or paper. The surface opposite to the adhesive layer of such a sheet is printed by screen printing, letterpress printing, flexographic printing, gravure printing or offset printing. In some cases, the lacquer is deposited on the printing surface and dried by conventional methods or ultraviolet radiation.
Usually, in the field of labeling, the label is placed on at least one side of a support wrapped around the core, and this support is continuously fed to a labeling station that transfers the label to the object to be labeled. Upon exiting the labeling station, the support is wrapped around the spindle and discarded or reused.

Supports that are provided with labels on both sides as disclosed in US Pat. Nos. 5,037,099 and 2, and can be used to supply a continuous series of labels are also known. Such a dual label support has the advantage of minimizing the amount of support that is discarded or reused when all labels are removed.
A support having a label made of polyethylene and having a thickness of about 80 to 100 μm is known.

Further, a thin label made of polyethylene terephthalate bonded to both sides of a paper support or a support made of a thermoplastic material by an adhesive layer is also known from the prior art. Both sides of the support are preferably siliconized, which makes it easier to peel off the adhesive-coated label at the labeling station. The thickness of such a support with labels on both sides is known to be about 60-150 μm.
The advantage of the polyethylene terephthalate label is that it eliminates corona treatment or “top coating” type pre-printing treatment to improve the printability and retention of the ink on the top surface of the label. This is because polyethylene terephthalate already enables optimum and durable printability without any special treatment.

  The problem caused by the prior art two-sided support is that the support with the polyethylene label applied is too thick, and the manufacturing cost is high when using a polyethylene terephthalate label. Also, the reuse of polyethylene terephthalate is more expensive than the reuse of another thermoplastic material.

Finally, the Applicant has determined that labeling due to the problems associated with being regarded as defective upon exiting the labeling station, and the electrostatic potential caused by the polyethylene terephthalate label, even for high level products. It focuses on the problem of slow station operation or station blocking.
Therefore, when the label application station unwinds the support, an electrostatic spark may occur when passing through the label application station due to the size of the electrostatic potential of the label. This spark can ignite the support or label. Such an ignition renders the label and support improperly used. Therefore, the labeling station must be stopped.

If the label passes through the labeling station without sparks, the label still has a high electrostatic potential, so if you try to mechanically place the label against the object to be bound, the label Repels things. The first risk in this case is that the binding of the label to the product fails completely. The second risk is that a deviation occurs in the coupling between the label and the object. In the latter case, the label is not placed at the desired position on the object. In either case, these objects are defective and are not suitable for sale in such a state. Therefore, such objects must be removed manually, which increases manufacturing costs.
Due to the presence of such an electrostatic field, the upstream of the labeling station can also be blocked. This is caused by the fact that the electrostatic field generated between two labels facing each other is even greater than the adhesive force imparted by the adhesive that holds the label on the support. As a result, the label peels off from the support prematurely and is released and "flys" at the labeling station. Therefore, such a label creates a risk of hindering or possibly blocking the movement of the label continuum and unnecessarily consumes time to return the labeling device to operation.

  The object of the present invention is to solve at least one of the above problems and / or limit the problems associated with the high electrostatic potential caused by the label when it is unwound from the labeling station.

  An object of the present invention is to have a support tape including a first continuous body and a second continuous body each made of a removable adhesive label on each of two surfaces, and the first continuous body and the second continuous body. This is solved by a support for the label, characterized in that at least one label of the continuum has two or more layers of different materials coextruded.

Advantageously, these labels are held by adhesive layers arranged on both sides of the support tape.
Also advantageously, the labels of the first continuum and the second continuum each have at least two layers of different co-extruded materials.

The label according to the invention is obtained by coextrusion of at least two layers of different materials. The electrostatic potential on the upper surface of the label, that is, the electrostatic potential of the label opposite to the lower surface attached to the support and attached to the object, is determined by the material and the thickness of the layer defining the label. Since the layers of the label are coextruded, these layers can be made thin, and these layers are fully bonded to each other. Preferably, by reducing the thickness of the upper layer of the label defining the upper surface of the label relative to the total thickness of the label, the electrostatic potential measured at this upper surface is actually substantially greater than the electrostatic potential of the label according to the prior art. Can be small.
Advantageously, the material is selected from polyolefins. The material is coextruded so that the layers bond directly to each other without a bonding layer between the layers. By co-extrusion, multiple layers of material are brought into contact with each other in the molten state, forming a physicochemical bond, and the two materials adhere to each other after cooling. Thus, the mutual adhesion of the layers and the integrity of the label are ensured.

In another embodiment, the at least two layers can be obtained from chemically similar compounds, are compatible with each other from a physicochemical point of view, and are completely attached to each other. Also advantageously, said chemically similar compound is a chemical similar compound of the following thermoplastic polymers: polyvinyl chloride and its derivatives, styrene polymers, polyamides, saturated polyesters, polycarbonates And one of the celluloses. By selecting similar compounds, the reusability of the co-extruded product is maintained very effectively, even in multiple layers. In general, co-extruded products are reused in the form of the main component of the label.
For example, simultaneous extrusion molding of a plurality of layers may or may not be performed on the constituent materials of these layers in a uniaxial direction or a biaxial direction. In particular, when the layers are exposed to tensile stress, co-extrusion with multiple layers oriented in a uniaxial or biaxial direction improves the directional and dimensional stability of the coextruded product. In addition, in order to subsequently print the label, the support is usually pulled to pass through the printing machine. In order to improve the mechanical stability of the support, at least one layer, preferably all layers, of the coextruded product is oriented and coextruded. Thus, with respect to printing that includes at least two different displays that are applied sequentially to the same location on the label-forming tape, the risk of these display shifts is substantially reduced.

For example, one of the layers of the label is obtained by extruding polyethylene, particularly low density polyethylene. As an example, another layer of the label is obtained by extrusion of polypropylene. In a first aspect, the label may have two layers, one layer made of polyethylene, preferably low density polyethylene, and another layer made of polypropylene. In this case, at least the polypropylene layer can be oriented. Preferably, two layers, each of polyethylene and polypropylene, are oriented.
In this case, the polyethylene layer is selected to form an upper surface that is visible when the label is applied to the object. This is because the polyethylene layer has good imperviousness and stability when in contact with oxygen and air. Furthermore, after a simple surface treatment, durable printing can be performed on the polyethylene layer. This is because the surface tension of the polyethylene layer is about 31 to 32 dynes / cm (10 ⁻⁷ N / m), and the surface tension is about 35 to 36 dynes / cm after a treatment such as corona treatment, for example. As a result, the difference in surface tension from the surface tension of ink normally used for printing these labels is greater than 8 dynes / cm. Therefore, the polyethylene layer can be printed accurately without flash, and the tackiness of the printed ink is optimal.

Finally, the polyethylene layer can increase the barrier effect already imparted by the wall of the container to which the label is applied, and this configuration is a sunscreen or hair care product that is exposed to high physicochemical stresses. This is advantageous for containers that contain However, the rigidity of the polyethylene layer is relatively low in the range of 0.3 to 1.5 gigapascal.
The polypropylene layer has the advantage of having a large stiffness of about 0.9-2 gigapascal. This polypropylene layer facilitates the handling of peeling the label from the support and subsequently placing it on the object.

For example, the lower layer of a label made of polypropylene is brought into contact with the adhesive layer so as to be held on the surface of the support tape and subsequently held on the object to be stuck. The thickness of this adhesion layer is 15-18 micrometers, for example.
For example, the thickness of the label is less than 65 μm, preferably about 62 μm. This thickness corresponds to at least the total thickness of the plurality of layers constituting the label. This label can be transparent, especially because of its small thickness.

When the label is formed of two layers, the first layer is made of polypropylene and the second layer is made of polyethylene, preferably the thickness of the first layer is larger than the thickness of the second layer. The overall thickness is preferably selected to be minimal. In particular, the thickness of the first layer is about 50 μm and the second layer is about 12 μm. Since polypropylene accounts for a large proportion, the overall transparency of the label is improved.
In another aspect, particularly if the two layers are not capable of forming a direct chemical bond between them, the two layers are relative to each other by providing a bonding layer that is co-extruded simultaneously between the two layers. Can be combined.

Advantageously, the support tape is made of a material such as in particular paper or a thermoplastic, and the two sides of the support tape are covered with a silicone layer, for example of a thickness of about 1 μm. This makes it easy to peel off the label from the support. For example, the support tape is made of polyethylene terephthalate, and the thickness in this case is 10 to 40 μm, preferably 23 to 36 μm. In another aspect, the support tape may be made of polypropylene, in which case the thickness is about 50 μm.
The two surfaces of the support tape are opposite to each other.
If the support tape has labels on both sides, the labels on the first side may be arranged to form a first label continuum, which are generally the same and the spacing is uniform. The labels of the second continuum on the second surface can each be placed in the middle of the axial region separating two adjacent labels of the first label continuum.

In another aspect, the label of the first continuum is placed in the center of the label of the second continuum. In yet another aspect, the label of the first continuum is the same as the label of the second continuum. In yet another aspect, the label of the first continuum may be different from the label of the second continuum, especially if it has a different contour or only the printed content printed on the label is different. May be.
For example, the label of the first continuum has a contour similar to the contour of the label of the second continuum. For example, the outline of each label of the first continuum may be within the outline of each label of the second continuum.

  The present invention is also a method of manufacturing a support comprising a label comprising a support tape and a first film and a second film respectively bonded to one and the other of the surfaces of the support tape facing away from each other. The first film and the second film are obtained by co-extrusion of at least two layers made of different materials, and these films are respectively held by the adhesive layers disposed on both sides of the support tape. An object of the present invention is to provide a production method characterized by cutting these films so as to define a label continuum on each side of the tape.

Advantageously, at least one of the outer surfaces of the film is treated by corona treatment to improve the printability of the label.
In an advantageous embodiment, the second film is temporarily separated from the support tape during the cutting operation of the first film to form the first label continuum. Thus, the absence of the second film at this time reduces the total thickness of the support that goes between the cutting instrument and the corresponding backing instrument, which can damage the support tape or The label placed on one side of the support tape can be cut with a low risk of insufficient cutting or the flow of adhesive. The temporary separation of the second film is performed using, for example, a roller having a non-adhesive surface.

For example, the cutting of the second film is performed so that the outline of each label of the first continuous body is the same as the outline of each label of the second continuous body.
In another aspect, the cutting of the second film can be performed such that the outline of each label of the first continuum falls within the outline of each label of the second continuum. For example, a label disposed on one side of the support tape may have a profile that is substantially similar to one of the labels disposed on the other side of the support tape. Thus, when the second film is cut to form a second label continuum, the cut label of the first film may enter between the blade of the cutting instrument and the corresponding backing instrument. Is avoided, thereby further reducing the risk of damage to the support tape, the perimeter of the label not being cut sufficiently, or the flow of adhesive.

  In yet another aspect, each label disposed on one side of the support tape has at least one edge that is offset from the edge of the corresponding label disposed on the opposite side. The deviation is greater than the thickness of the cutting blade used to cut the second label continuum. For example, this deviation is about 0.5 mm or more.

  Another object of the present invention is a support obtained by the above-mentioned method, which is provided with a first continuous body and a second continuous body of removable adhesive labels arranged on each side of the support tape. Also related.

Furthermore, the subject of the present invention is a method for continuously supplying a continuous body of labels for objects, in particular a label for bottles, using the support according to the present invention,
a) supplying a tape-shaped support at a first supply station and placing labels on both sides of the support;
b) Push the support forward through a first labeling station to which the object is supplied, where the label is attached to the object using the label attached to the first side of the support. C) applying the label; and c) pushing the support through a second labeling station that is different from or identical to the first labeling station, wherein the second side of the support The method includes applying a label to an object using a label attached to the object.

For example, when the support exits the first labeling station, the support is wound around the spindle to form a roll that is placed in a second supply station that is different from or the same as the first supply station, and the second labeling Supplied to the station.
In another aspect, the support is pushed directly to the second labeling station upon exiting the first labeling station.

  In particular, the second labeling station can be supplied with an object that is different from the object to be labeled with the first labeling station. In another aspect, the second labeling station may be supplied with a labeled object as it passes through the first station, whereby each object is labeled with a label on each side of the support. The

  The invention will be more clearly understood from a reading of the following description with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are merely illustrative for the sake of clarity and do not limit the present invention in any way.

FIG. 1 shows a support 1 according to the invention. The support 1 has a support tape 2 having a thickness (3) of about 50 μm. Both sides of the support tape 2 are coated with a layer 4 of non-adhesive material, for example, a layer of silicone with a thickness (5) of about 1 μm.
The first film 6 is disposed on the first side of the support tape 2 and is held by the first adhesive layer 7. The second film 8 is disposed on the second side opposite to the first side, and is held on the support tape 2 by the second adhesive layer 9. The adhesive layers 7 and 9 may be the same.

According to the invention, these films are obtained by coextrusion of at least two layers of different thermoplastic materials. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the films 6 and 8 each have two layers. However, the scope of the present invention includes cases where the films 6 and 8 have different numbers of layers.
In the case of this embodiment, the first film 6 has a first layer 10 and a second layer 11. These layers are bonded to each other, and the bond between these two layers can only be seen in cross section using a microscope. The first layer 10 is made of polypropylene and has a surface 12 a that contacts the adhesive layer 7. On the other hand, the second layer 11 is made of low-density polyethylene and has an upper surface 12b that is in contact with air and functions as a medium for printing a display on the label. The lower surface of the second layer 11 is tightly coupled to the upper surface of the first layer 10.

The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 7 preferably has a thickness (13) of less than 20 μm, preferably 15 to 18 μm. Furthermore, the thickness (14) of the first film 6 is about 62 μm, and this thickness is the sum of the thickness (15) 50 μm of the first layer 10 and the thickness (16) 12 μm of the second layer 11. is there.
Preferably, films 6 and 8 are identical to each other. In this embodiment, the support tape 2 defines a plane of symmetry, and the second film has a first layer 17 such as 10 and a second layer 18 such as 11.
However, the scope of the present invention includes the case where the films 6 and 8 are different from each other. For example, the different layers may have different thicknesses and / or consist of different materials.

  In order to manufacture such a support 1, the support tape 2 initially stored in the form of the reel 19 is unwound and introduced into the apparatus 20. In this apparatus 20, the first adhesive layer 7 is continuously deposited, for example, by spraying on the support tape 2. The first film 6 is prepared in advance by simultaneous extrusion so as to have the at least two layers using a known method. The film 6 is initially stored in the form of a reel 21, which is unwound downstream of the support tape 2, and the film 6 is continuously arranged and bonded to the first surface of the support tape 2. .

In the first implementation method, a support reel 2 having a film disposed on one side is wound around a mandrel to form a new reel, and this reel is unwound in place of the first reel 19, and the second adhesive layer 9 is removed. Thus, the second film 8 can be bonded to the second surface of the support tape.
In the variant shown in FIG. 2, to supplement the method and to follow the method, the support tape 2 on which the first film 6 is arranged is conveyed through the station 22 where the tape is turned upside down. In other words, it is reversed by the return roll mechanism and then sent to the second device 23 where the second adhesive layer 9 can be deposited, for example by spraying. The second film 8 is prepared by simultaneous extrusion using a known method so as to have the at least two layers. The film 8 itself is initially stored in the form of a reel 24. The reel 24 is unwound downstream of the support tape 2 and the film is placed on and bonded to the second surface of the support tape 2. A support 1 having continuous films 6 and 8 on each side is wound around a mandrel and stored in that state.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, in order to produce a label on the films 6 and 8, the support 1 stored in the form of a reel is released, selectively subjected to corona treatment, and the contents of the label are printed. Then, it is sent to the label cutting device 25 schematically shown in FIG.
The label cutting device 25 cuts the second film 8 by cutting the first film 6 and cutting the second film 8 for the purpose of forming a continuous body of the first label 30 by cutting the first film 6. And a second cutting station 40 intended to form a continuum of second labels 50.
The first cutting station 26 has a cutting instrument 27 which is known per se and is schematically illustrated. This cutting instrument 27 comprises a cutting blade 28 having a contour corresponding to the contour of the label to be manufactured, and a backing instrument 29 for receiving pressure exerted by the cutting instrument. Similarly, the second cutting station 40 has a cutting instrument 41 with a cutting blade 42 and a backing instrument 43.

According to one aspect of the present invention, the second film 8 coated with the pressure-sensitive adhesive is temporarily separated from the support tape 2 before cutting the first film 6 coated with the pressure-sensitive adhesive. This separation is performed, for example, by a rotating roller 60 having a non-stick coating, such as a siliconized surface, a steel treated with a Balinite® type, or a Teflon® coating. Therefore, the cutting of the label 30 on the first film 6 bonded to the support tape 2 can be performed without the second film 8 entering between the blade 28 of the cutting device 27 and the backing device 29. it can.
After the label 30 is cut, the remaining portion 31 of the first film 6 covered with the pressure-sensitive adhesive is removed by, for example, winding it on a reel 33. The second film 8 recombines with the support tape 2 carrying the label 30, and then the label 50 is cut at the cutting station 40. Next, the remaining portion 51 existing around the label 50 is removed by, for example, winding it around a reel 53.
The obtained label support 1 ′ can be wound around a mandrel to form a reel. The support 1 'has a support tape 2 having a continuous body of the first label 30 on one surface and a continuous body of the second label 50 on the opposite surface. This support 1 'can be used in the continuous labeling method described in Patent Document 1 or 2 by the applicant.

According to an advantageous aspect of the invention, the label 50 can be cut at the second cutting station 40 so that the contour 32 of the label 30 (shown in dotted lines in FIG. 4) is within the contour 52 of the label 50. The distance (g) separating the respective edges of the two superimposed labels 30 and 50 is greater than the thickness of the cutting blade 42. This interval g is, for example, 0.5 mm or more.
Further, each of the labels 30 may be centered with the corresponding label 50, and the labels 30 and 50 are continuous with a uniform spacing on each side of the support tape 2.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, it is understood that the initially cut label 30 does not enter between the cutting blade 42 of the cutting instrument 41 and the backing instrument 43, and thus does not prevent the label 50 from being cut. I want you to understand.
At least one sensor (not shown) is attached to the cutting instrument 41, and this sensor positions the label 30 so that the outline 32 of the label 30 is completely within the outline of the label 50 when cut. Each label 50 can be cut at the same time as the sheet passes.
The labels 30 and 50 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 are similar, and the larger label, in this case the label 50, has a band-like area with a continuous width in the order of the interval g as defined above. They are centered on one another so that they have a continuous and regular profile that projects beyond the profile 32.

The labels 30 and 50 shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 can overlap each other, but the edge of one label of the label continuum facing each other is labeled with the label on the opposite side of the direction in which the support tape 2 is unwound, and It is arranged so as to overlap at least a part having a width of the order of the prescribed interval g. This is because each label 30 of the first continuous body is disposed in the center of the axial region 70 that separates two adjacent labels 50 of the second label continuous body.
The labels 30 and 50 in FIG. 6 have a substantially trapezoidal cut shape in this embodiment, and have different print contents. These labels can also be arranged so that the characters are “up” and “down” on the front and back. This aspect is particularly suitable for the structure of the support 1 that has a label to be attached to the right side of the object on one side and carries a label to be attached to the opposite side of the same object on the other side. This is because after the tape is turned over and after the first label is applied to the first surface of the object at the first label application station, the second label is the second object of the object to which the label is applied. It is because it arrange | positions appropriately with respect to this surface.

  The labels 30 and 50 shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 are the same and have the same contour and the same print content. In the illustrated embodiment, the labels 30 and 50 are rectangular and are also arranged “up / down” relative to each other.

  Throughout the above description, unless otherwise specified, the expression “including” is understood to be synonymous with the expression “including at least one of”.
