AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing methods for producing labels with internal die-cuts face challenges such as the inability to efficiently remove die-cut inner sections from the backing strip without damaging the strip or requiring complex tools, leading to increased production and material costs.

Method used

A method involving a composite of label material adhered to a carrier tape with an adhesive layer, where the label material is cut through while the backing strip remains uncut, using precise pressure adjustments, and applying an adhesive to inner die-cuts followed by a top layer to facilitate removal of inner parts.

Benefits of technology

Enables cost-effective production of labels with internal die-cuts by ensuring the backing strip remains intact, reducing material waste and production costs, and allowing for efficient handling and processing on labeling machines.

Abstract

A method (100) for producing labels with internal die-cuts is proposed, wherein the method (100) comprises providing a composite of a label material adhered to a carrier tape by means of an adhesive layer. Furthermore, the method (100) comprises die-cutting (105) internal die-cuts, die-cutting (107) labels, applying (108) an adhesive material to the areas of the internal die-cuts, placing (109) a cover layer onto the composite such that the cover layer rests on the adhesive material, and peeling (111) the cover layer and thus detaching (112) the internal parts formed by the internal die-cuts which adhere to the cover layer by means of the adhesive material.
