Abstract

Labeling material includes a labeling region to be printed using a printing device and/or for handwritten labeling. The labeling material includes a carrier layer that is at least partially transparent and can be folded over onto the labeling region to cover or seal the labeling region and can be bonded thereto in portions or over the entire surface. One or more adhesive regions, such as an adhesive layer, adhesive dots, adhesive strips, etc., bond the at least partially transparent carrier layer to the labeling region in portions or over the entire surface. The adhesive region and the labeling region are arranged on the same side of the at least partially transparent carrier layer.

First claim

1 . A labeling material, comprising:
a labeling region which is designed to be printed using a printing device and/or for handwritten labeling; a carrier layer which is at least partially transparent and can be folded over onto the labeling region to cover or seal the labeling region and can be bonded thereto in portions or over the entire surface; and one or more adhesive regions, such as an adhesive layer, adhesive dots, adhesive strips, which are designed to bond the at least partially transparent carrier layer to the labeling region in portions or over the entire surface, wherein the adhesive region and the labeling region are arranged on a same side of the at least partially transparent carrier layer.

2 . The labeling material according to claim 1 , wherein:
the labeling region and the adhesive region are adjacent to one another and adjoin one another in an unfolded state, in which the adhesive region is not bonded to the labeling region,
and/or
the labeling region, when viewed in a cross section, has a height which corresponds to a height of a flap portion which can be folded over onto the labeling region.

3 . The labeling material according to claim 1 , wherein
the labeling region is formed by a printing layer which is applied to the carrier layer.

4 . The labeling material according to claim 3 , wherein:
the printing layer is a single-layer film, or the printing layer is a multi-layer film, or the printing layer is a coating.

5 . The labeling material according to claim 1 , wherein:
the at least partially transparent carrier layer is a single-layer film, or the at least partially transparent carrier layer is a multi-layer film.

6 . The labeling material according to claim 1 , wherein
the carrier layer is made of a transparent material in its entirety.

7 . The labeling material according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a cover sheet that is a peel-off film, wherein the adhesive region, which is designed for bonding the at least partially transparent carrier layer to the labeling region, is covered with the cover sheet, and wherein the cover sheet is removable in order to expose the adhesive region.

8 . The labeling material according to claim 7 , wherein
the cover sheet has a removal aid, such as a tab or a slot.

9 . The labeling material according to claim 1 , wherein:
the one or more adhesive regions include a first adhesive region and a second adhesive region, the second adhesive region is for attaching the labeling material to an object to be marked, the second adhesive region is arranged on a side of the carrier layer facing away from the labeling region, and the second adhesive region is arranged at a level of the labeling region or, in an unfolded state, at a level of a flap portion.

10 . The labeling material according to claim 9 ,
the second adhesive region is covered by a cover sheet which can be removed to expose the additional adhesive region.

11 . The labeling material according to claim 9 , wherein:
the carrier layer has a flap portion which can be folded over onto and bonded to the labeling region in order to cover the labeling region, the first adhesive region, which is designed for bonding the at least partially transparent carrier layer to the labeling region, is provided on the flap portion, and the flap portion does not have an adhesive region on a side of the carrier layer facing away from the first adhesive region, and wherein:
the carrier layer has a printing portion,
the printing portion, when viewed in a height extension of the labeling material, is adjacent to and adjoins the flap region,
the labeling region is provided on the printing portion,
the second adhesive region is arranged on a side of the printing portion facing away from the labeling region, and
the second adhesive region and the region of the flap portion which does not have an adhesive region are adjacent to one another and adjoin one another.

12 . The labeling material according to claim 1 , wherein
the labeling material has a metal component including one or more metal layers, metal particles, or metal threads.

13 . The labeling material according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a detachable adhesive strip, which fixes longitudinal edges of the carrier layer in a folded basic state of the carrier layer, wherein the carrier layer is folded in a center in the folded basic state, when viewed in cross section.
