Abstract

A label combination for a single ply piggyback label is provided. The label combination includes a primary label with a silicone release patch disposed on a front side of the primary label. An adhesive coating is disposed on a backside of a removable label. The backside of removable label is disposed over the silicone release patch on the front side of the primary label to form the label combination.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A label combination, comprising:
a primary label defined on a label substrate;
a removable label defined on a removable label substrate; and
a silicone release patch;
wherein the silicone release patch is disposed on a portion of a front side of the label substrate corresponding to the primary label;
wherein an adhesive is disposed on a backside of the removable label substrate corresponding to the removable label;
wherein the backside of the removable label substrate corresponding to the removable label is disposed over the silicone release patch on the front side of the label substrate corresponding to a portion of the primary label;
wherein the label combination is a piggyback label;
wherein the adhesive is disposed on a backside of the label substrate corresponding to the primary label;
wherein the adhesive is disposed as adhesive patches on the backside of the label substrate corresponding to the primary label.

2. A label combination, comprising:
a primary label defined on a label substrate;
a removable label defined on a removable label substrate; and
a silicone release patch;
wherein the silicone release patch is disposed on a portion of a front side of the label substrate corresponding to the primary label;
wherein an adhesive is disposed on a backside of the removable label substrate corresponding to the removable label;
wherein the backside of the removable label substrate corresponding to the removable label is disposed over the silicone release patch on the front side of the label substrate corresponding to a the portion of the primary label;
wherein the label combination is a piggyback label;
a liner substrate;
a release coating disposed on a front side of the liner substrate;
an adhesive coating disposed on a backside of the label substrate;
wherein a backside of the label substrate corresponding to the primary label is disposed over and joined to the front side of the liner substrate.

3. A label combination, comprising:
a primary label defined on a label substrate;
a removable label defined on a removable label substrate; and
a silicone release patch;
wherein the silicone release patch is disposed on a portion of a front side of the label substrate corresponding to the primary label;
wherein an adhesive is disposed on a backside of the removable label substrate corresponding to the removable label;
wherein the backside of the removable label substrate corresponding to the removable label is disposed over the silicone release patch on the front side of the label substrate corresponding to a the portion of the primary label;
wherein the label combination is a piggyback label;
one or more additional silicone release patches disposed on additional portions of the front side of the label substrate corresponding to the primary label;
wherein each additional silicone release patch associated with a separate removable label substrate affixed atop a corresponding additional silicone release patch.

4. The label combination of claim 1 , wherein the removable label is adapted to separate from the primary label without any die cuts in the label substrate corresponding to the primary label.

5. The label combination of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive patches are disposed in a pattern on the backside of the label substrate corresponding to the primary label.

6. The label combination of claim 5 further comprising:
a liner comprising a liner substrate; and
a release coating flood coated on a front side of the liner substrate;
wherein the backside of the label substrate corresponding to the primary label is adhered to the front side of the liner substrate.

7. The label combination of claim 1 , wherein the front side of the label substrate corresponding to the primary label and a front side of the removable label substrate corresponding to the removable label includes a direct thermal or thermal transfer coating disposed on the front side of the label substrate corresponding to the primary label and the front side of the removable label substrate corresponding to the removable label.

8. A roll of label combinations, comprising:
a web of a label substrate comprising primary labels;
a web of a liner substrate; and
a plurality of removable label substrates, each removable label substrate defining one of a plurality of removable labels;
wherein portions of a front side of the web of the label substrate include silicone release patches disposed on the front side of web of the label substrate, wherein the web of the label substrate corresponding to each portion of a corresponding primary labels includes a corresponding removable label affixed atop a corresponding silicone release patch;
wherein a backside of the web of the label substrate is adhered or joined to a front side of the web of the liner substrate to form the roll of label combinations, each label combination comprising a corresponding primary label with a corresponding removable label affixed atop a corresponding silicone release patch;
wherein each label combination of the roll is a piggyback label;
wherein a backside of the web of the label substrate includes an adhesive coating, and wherein a front side of the web of the liner substrate includes a release coating.

9. The roll of label combinations of claim 8 , further comprising sense marks imaged or printed along the web of the label substrate to delineate each individual label combination defined within the roll.

10. The roll of label combinations of claim 8 , wherein a backside of each removable label substrate includes an adhesive coating.
