Benefits of technology

[0006]An exemplary embodiment of the present invention is a label where the label comprises (a) a film having a first surface and a second surface and comprising a first film layer, and (b) an adhesive layer having a first surface and a second surface and comprising an adhesive where the first surface of the adhesive layer is adhesively joined to the second surface of the film, where (c) (i) the first film layer comprises at least one thermoplastic polymer where the thermoplastic polymer has a glass transition temperature in the range of 35 to 105° C., and a tensile modulus of

Problems solved by technology

Paper labels lack high clarity visual aesthetics.
Stretched, thermally shrinkable polymeric labels upon removal tend to curl up tightly into a needle shape which can clog washing process equipment.

Embodiment Construction

[0023]Referring to FIG. 4, a label 10, 20, 30, 40 or 50 of the present invention is useful in commercial labeling applications that include labeling of articles of commerce such as for example plastic, paper, metal and glass containers 72 for a multitude of consumer and industrial products. The container can be any shaped container including a bottle, a jug, a jar or a drum. In an embodiment the container is a glass beverage bottle having a cylindrically shaped body that includes a beer bottle. The label, as described hereinbelow, on a labeled container has high clarity visual aesthetics, abrasion resistance during processing and handling of the container, resistance to any deleterious effects due to moisture during cold storage or a pasteurization process, and removability of the label from the container during a washing process in a warm or hot washing fluid that includes a 50 to 100° C. water bath or aqueous caustic solution where the removed label does not clog the washing proce...
