Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of self-adhesive labels, in particular to an inkjet printed self-adhesive label. Background Art

[0002] In today's commodity packaging and labeling field, self-adhesive labels play a vital role. They are widely used in various products, from daily food and daily necessities packaging to industrial parts labeling and many other scenarios.

[0003] An existing common self-adhesive label structure is mainly composed of a base paper and several evenly distributed label bodies attached thereto. In actual use, when the label body needs to be removed from the base paper and pasted onto the corresponding item, many inconveniences are exposed. On the one hand, due to the adhesion characteristics between the base paper and the label body, it is difficult for the user to accurately and quickly tear off a single label body completely. It often takes extra time to carefully peel it off. A slight carelessness may cause the label body to wrinkle or be damaged, and thus cannot be used normally. On the other hand, for some large-scale production or scenarios that require fast labeling, such as the express logistics industry affixing address labels to packages, and e-commerce warehouses affixing classification labels to goods, the labeling speed is directly related to the overall work efficiency. The existing problem of difficulty in removing labels increases the time-consuming labeling process for each item, seriously affecting the efficiency of item labeling. It not only slows down the production pace, but also may cause waste of manpower and material resources. There is an urgent need for a new type of inkjet-printed self-adhesive label that is easy to remove and use to solve this dilemma. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the problems pointed out in the background technology, the present invention proposes an inkjet printed self-adhesive label to solve the above technical problems.

[0005] The technical solution of the present utility model is achieved as follows:

[0006] An inkjet-printed self-adhesive label comprises a base paper, on the upper side of which a label body is evenly distributed, and the base paper is provided with an annular slit corresponding to the label body, the slit being arranged through both sides of the base paper and forming a tearable area, wherein a portion of the label body is located within the tearable area.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that the label body is square, and one corner of the label body is located within the tearable area.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that the edge of the tearable area is connected to the base paper via a connecting portion, and a plurality of connecting portions are provided, and the plurality of connecting portions are spaced apart at the edge of the tearable area.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that the base paper, the connecting portion, and the tearable area are integrated into one body.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the label body occupies no more than one quarter of the area of ​​the tearable region.

[0011] The utility model is further configured as follows: the label body comprises a substrate layer, adhesive is provided between the substrate layer and the base paper, and a coating is provided on the surface of the substrate layer.

[0012] The utility model is further configured such that the coating is an inkjet printing coating.

[0013] The utility model is further configured such that the substrate layer is made of PET or PP material.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0015] First, it excels in ease of use. The integrated design of the backing paper, connector, and tear-away area significantly enhances structural stability and prevents component shifting and deformation. When removing the label, the user simply touches the tear-away area with a finger and applies force. The connector breaks in an orderly manner, and the tear-away area smoothly bends and separates from the label itself, precisely exposing the label's edges, especially the corner within the tear-away area. This allows the user to easily grasp and quickly apply the label, in stark contrast to the difficult removal of traditional labels. This significantly improves labeling efficiency, benefiting both daily personal use and large-scale industrial production.

[0016] Secondly, the structure of the label itself offers unique advantages. The base material is made of PET or PP. PET imparts high strength, transparency, and chemical resistance to the label, while PP offers excellent flexibility and water resistance, making it suitable for diverse scenarios and ensuring the integrity of label information in complex environments. The adhesive is carefully blended to ensure a secure fit before application and a moderate separation during removal, ensuring precise balance. The inkjet printable coating on the surface is a further highlight, meeting the diverse needs of information and capable of printing exquisite patterns, color gradients, and high-definition code information. Combined with inkjet printing technology, it eliminates the need for platemaking, shortening production cycles and reducing costs. This allows companies to quickly respond to market changes and achieve personalized label customization.

[0017] Furthermore, from an overall performance perspective, the annular slit works in tandem with the various components to optimize the removal process, reduce the risk of label damage, and minimize material waste. Overall, this invention brings innovative changes to the self-adhesive label industry, comprehensively enhancing product competitiveness and creating a new era for the industry.

[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] Reference as follows Figure 1-Figure 5 The utility model is described as follows:

[0027] Example: An inkjet-printable self-adhesive label includes a backing paper 1, which serves as the foundation for the entire label system, providing stable support for subsequent components. Label bodies 2 are evenly distributed on the upper side of the backing paper 1. These label bodies 2 are the key components that ultimately carry information and are attached to the target object.

[0028] The base paper 1 is provided with an annular slit 3 corresponding to the label body 2. The slit 3 is not set randomly. The slit 3 is set through both sides of the base paper 1. Through this through-type design, the slit 3 successfully encloses a tearable area 4 and cleverly allows a part of the label body 2 to be located exactly within this tearable area 4.

[0029] When faced with actual usage scenarios and needing to stick the label to the corresponding item, the user only needs to perform simple operations to experience the huge advantages brought by its convenience. Specifically, the user first gently presses the tearable area 4 with his fingers, and then applies a moderate force to force the tearable area 4 to move toward the back of the base paper 1. In this process, as the force continues to act, the tearable area 4 will gradually bend, deform, and move. Because the slit 3 predefines the boundary of the tearable area 4, the tearable area 4 can gradually separate from the part of the label body 2 located inside it during the movement. This gradual separation effect is of great significance. It gradually exposes the edge of the label body 2, which was originally tightly attached to the base paper 1 and difficult to grasp directly. Once the edge of the label body 2 is clearly visible, the user's fingers can easily and accurately hold it, as if they have obtained a convenient "grip", and then smoothly stick the label to where it is needed.

[0030] Compared to traditional self-adhesive labels, removing them often requires users to expend considerable effort trying to separate the label from the backing paper. This often leads to label tearing, damage to the adhesive surface, or difficulty accurately grasping the label, significantly impacting labeling efficiency. The technical solution described in this invention, through the unique collaborative design of the annular slit 3 and the tearable area 4, perfectly solves this problem, allowing users to remove the label extremely quickly. This solution efficiently meets the needs of both daily personal use and large-scale industrial production, undoubtedly bringing innovative changes to the self-adhesive label industry.

[0031] The label body 2 is square, and one corner of the label body 2 is located in the tearable area 4. One corner of the label body 2 is cleverly placed in the tearable area 4. When the user starts the operation of removing the label, cutting from this corner of the label body 2 is more advantageous than starting from the edge or other parts. The corner is used as a force point, allowing the user to more accurately control the direction and strength of the force, and effectively avoid a series of problems caused by uneven force. Imagine that if you apply force from the edge of the label at will, it is easy to cause the label body 2 to be locally overstressed in the initial stage of separation, and then wrinkles will be generated, affecting the flatness and aesthetics of the label. In severe cases, it may even tear directly, making the label scrapped. Starting from the corner, the force can spread evenly to the surroundings, like ripples, gently and orderly causing the label body 2 to separate from the base paper 1.

[0032] The edge of the tearable area 4 is connected to the backing paper 1 via connectors 5. Multiple connectors 5 are provided, spaced apart along the edge of the tearable area 4. When a finger applies force to the tearable area 4, the connectors 5 break. These connectors 5 play a crucial role, acting as a "bridge" between the tearable area 4 and the backing paper 1. Before the label is used, they ensure that the tearable area 4 is securely attached to the backing paper 1, maintaining the integrity of the entire label structure and preventing the tearable area 4 from accidentally falling off or shifting during transportation or storage, which could affect the label's proper use.

[0033] The backing paper 1, the connection 5, and the tearable area 4 are integrated into one unit. This design concept is perfectly realized in the manufacturing process through cutting-edge technology. Whether it is precision injection molding or special die-cutting processes, all three components can be seamlessly integrated and formed from the same high-quality raw material in a single process, completely eliminating the drawbacks of traditional splicing structures. From the perspective of structural stability, this integrated configuration creates an impenetrable defense for the label, greatly enhancing its overall stability. During the long journeys of transportation and storage, as well as in complex and changing environments, the label will not shift or deform due to loose or detached connections, and will always remain in optimal condition and ready for use.

[0034] The label body 2 occupies no more than one-quarter of the area of ​​the tearable area 4. One corner of the label body 2 is cleverly placed in the tearable area 4, and the label body 2 occupies no more than one-quarter of the area of ​​the tearable area 4. This fine setting has multiple subtle considerations. From the perspective of mechanical principles, a smaller contact area means that when the user applies force to the tearable area 4, the direct pulling force on the label body 2 is relatively dispersed, and it is not easy to form excessive stress locally. If the label body 2 occupies too large an area of ​​the tearable area 4, at the initial stage of removal, the force is likely to be concentrated on the contact part of the two, causing the part of the label body 2 to be subjected to huge tension, which in turn causes the risk of damage such as wrinkles and tears, seriously affecting the integrity and usability of the label.

[0035] The label body 2 comprises a substrate layer 21. Adhesive 22 is applied between the substrate layer 21 and the backing paper 1. A coating 23 is applied to the surface of the substrate layer 21. Coating 23 is an inkjet-printable coating. The substrate layer 21 is made of PET or PP. As the foundation of the label body 2, the substrate layer 21 bears the heavy responsibility of ensuring the physical properties of the entire label. The choice of material is no accident. PET (polyethylene terephthalate) and PP (polypropylene) stand out for their superior properties. PET offers high strength, transparency, and excellent chemical resistance. This ensures the label remains resilient and stable in complex and changing environments, including humid storage, potential exposure to chemicals, and friction and collision during transportation, ensuring the integrity of the information carried on the label. PP, on the other hand, is favored for its excellent flexibility, low density, and water resistance. It is particularly suitable for applications requiring high flexibility or requiring long-term use in humid environments, such as outdoor product labels and aquatic product packaging labels. The selectability of these two materials provides precise adaptation for label requirements in different application scenarios, fully demonstrating the flexibility and practicality of the present invention. Between the substrate layer 21 and the backing paper 1, the carefully arranged adhesive 22 plays a key connecting role.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
