Abstract

An adhesive label is provided. The adhesive label includes an adhesive patch that covers at least 50% but less than 85% of a backside surface of the adhesive label and that is at least partially horizontally and vertically centered on the backside surface.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An adhesive label comprising:
an adhesive patch covering over 50% of a backside surface of the adhesive label but covering less than an area needed for allowance of sense marks and a width of a printer cutting knife of the backside surface of the adhesive label, wherein the adhesive patch is at least partially horizontally and vertically centered on the backside surface, wherein the adhesive label includes just one adhesive patch that is the adhesive patch.

2. The adhesive label of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive patch is horizontally centered on the backside surface and includes an offset portion that is vertically centered on the backside surface.

3. The adhesive label of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive patch covers approximately: 62%, 79%, or 84% of the backside surface.

4. The adhesive label of claim 1 further comprising, a front-side surface having a thermal coating for thermal imaging by a thermal printer.

5. The adhesive label of claim 4 further comprising, a release coating overlaid on at least a portion of the thermal coating.

6. The adhesive label of claim 5 , wherein the at least the portion overlaps and corresponds to the backside surface having the adhesive patch.

7. The adhesive label of claim 6 , wherein the at least the portion is smaller than an available surface area of the backside surface.

8. An adhesive label roll, comprising:
a plurality of labels within the roll, each label including:
a single adhesive patch covering over 50% of a backside surface of the label but less than an area needed for allowance of sense marks and a width of a printer cutting knife of the backside surface of that label, wherein the adhesive patch is at least partially horizontally and vertically centered on the backside surface, wherein each label includes just one adhesive patch that is single adhesive patch.

9. The adhesive roll of claim 8 , wherein the adhesive patch is centered along a horizontal axis of each label with a portion of the adhesive patch intersecting a vertical axis of the roll but the portion for each label varying from label to label within the roll.

10. The adhesive roll of claim 8 further comprising a thermal coating on a front-side surface of each label.

11. The adhesive roll of claim 10 further comprising a release coating covering the thermal coating.
