Problems solved by technology

However, in labeling operations on simple or complex shaped bottles, labeling defects often occur during or after label application
These misused labels result in excessive waste or potentially costly additional processing steps

Embodiment

[0293] The containers were labeled with polypropylene labels at temperatures below which the labeled containers would normally remain defect-free. All labels were applied without defects at the time of application. The labeled containers were then immediately placed in an oven at 100°C for various residence times. The final temperature of the label is measured at the end of the oven aging. The containers were then inspected after one week of aging at room temperature.

[0294] The control sample, which was not exposed to post heat treatment, failed after one week due to the formation of defects. All samples (squares) that were exposed to post heat at 100°C for at least 30 seconds passed inspection after one week of aging. Based on these results, it is believed that an outlet temperature of at least 50°C in the post heat step is sufficient to prevent defects for this particular label material.

[0295] Although the various processing methods described herein have been descr...

Abstract

A label processing system comprises: a heat transfer label including a support member (20) or web, and a region of ink or other pigmented formulation disposed on the support member; and a label processor for concurrently heating and contacting a label to a container (10), the label processor including (i) a rigid frame (50) defining a first face (52) and an oppositely directed second face (54), the frame defining an opening (60) extending between the first and the second faces, and (11) a flexible member (30) disposed adjacent to at least one of the first face (52) and the second face (54) of the frame (30) and extending through the opening of the frame and projecting outward from the second face (54) of the frame, the flexible member (30) defining an outer surface (46) for contacting a label (20), the flexible member defining an interior hollow region accessible from the first face (52) of the frame, the flexible member (30) being deformable upon application of a label contacting force to a portion of the member projecting outward from the second face (54) of the frame applying a label contacting force to the flexible member, whereby the deformed flexible member causes the heat transfer design to be at least partially transferred to the container.
