Abstract

The present disclosure relates generally to methods and system for creating a multiple part peel and reseal label assembly that may include one or more RFID devices for use in providing information to potential end users. The assembly may be provided with a plurality of informational sheets or layers that may be printed with fixed or variable information.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A label assembly, comprising;
a base layer, the base layer having an adhesive disposed over all or substantially all of a surface area for affixing to an article;
at least one informational layer stacked on the base layer, the at least one informational layer having at least one of fixed or variable printed information; and
near field RFID devices associated with each of the informational layers, wherein the near field RFID devices couple with a far field RFID device of the base layer;
wherein the base layer and subsequent informational layers are permanently bound by an adhesive disposed proximate at least one edge of at least one of the informational layers, and
wherein surfaces of the informational layers are configured to repeatedly peel apart and reseal, other than where permanently bound by the adhesive.

2. The label assembly of claim 1 , wherein each of the informational layers has a corner with a reduced radius from that of the base layer.

3. The label assembly of claim 1 , wherein each layer includes printed information in a different language.

4. The label assembly of claim 1 , wherein each of the informational layers has a corner with a reduced radius from that of the base layer and any intervening informational layers.

5. The label assembly of claim 1 , wherein the informational layers include at least one of care instructions, ingredients, flammability or fire information, statutory or regulatory information.

6. A label assembly, comprising;
a base layer, the base layer having an adhesive disposed over all or substantially all of a surface area for affixing to an article;
a plurality of informational layers stacked on the base layer, the plurality of informational layers each having at least one of fixed or variable printed information areas and the fixed areas is produced in at least two different languages and each of the plurality of information lavers has a indicator;
wherein the base layer and subsequent informational layers are permanently bound by an adhesive disposed proximate at least one edge of at least one of the base layer or the informational layers, and
where at least one far field RFID device is associated with the base layer, and at least one near RFID field device in the informational layers of the label assembly are linked, wherein the near field RFID devices are associated with each of the informational layers; and
wherein the surfaces of the plurality of informational layers are configured to repeatedly peel apart and reseal, other than where permanently bound by the adhesive.

7. A label assembly as recited in claim 6 , wherein at least a portion of the fixed information area further includes garment care instructions.

8. A label assembly as recited in claim 6 , wherein the variable printed information includes bar codes or serial numbers.

9. A label assembly as recited in claim 6 , wherein the variable printed information includes different languages.
