Abstract

A laser printable shelf talker label sheet includes one or more removable shelf talker labels. The shelf talker label sheet includes a printable face layer laminated to a support layer, and one or more die cut removable shelf talker labels. The one or more shelf talker labels include at least the printable face layer having a first information portion and a second information portion, the support layer being adhesively attached to the face layer portion corresponding to the second information portion, the support layer portion being detachably attached to the face layer portion corresponding to the first information portion, and the printable face layer including optically transparent, fiber based material. A roll including one or more printable, die-cuttable shelf talker labels is also described.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A roll of label comprising a face layer and a support layer, wherein
the roll of label is arranged to be die-cuttable,
the roll of label comprises a printable face layer comprising a first information portion and a second information portion laminated to a support layer via adhesive, and
the printable face layer comprises optically transparent, fiber based material having an opacity of 15 to 30%, as determined according to TAPPI-425;
wherein the first information portion and the second information portion of the printable face layer have different opacities; and
wherein opacity of the first information portion is 10-30%, or 5-10%, or 3-5% smaller than opacity of the second information portion.

2. A roll of label according to the claim 1 , wherein the printable face layer is partly adhesive attached to the support layer and partly detachably attached to the support layer.

3. A shelf talker label comprising a face layer and a support layer, wherein
the face layer comprises a printable information surface and an adhesive surface,
the printable information surface comprises a first information portion and a second information portion,
the support layer is adhesively attached to an adhesive surface portion of the face layer opposite to the second information portion,
an adhesive surface portion of the face layer opposite to the first information portion is adhesively attachable, and
the printable face layer comprises optically transparent, fiber based material having an opacity of 15 to 30%, as determined according to TAPPI-425,
wherein the first information portion and the second information portion of the printable information surface have different opacities; and
wherein opacity of the first information portion is 10-30%, or 5-10%, or 3-5% smaller than opacity of the second information portion.

4. A shelf talker label according to the claim 3 , wherein the second information portion of the face layer comprises printing or background printing, which printing or background printing is optionally coloured.

5. A shelf talker label according to the claim 3 , wherein the adhesive surface portion of the face layer opposite to the second information portion comprises coloured adhesive.

6. A shelf talker label according to the claim 3 , wherein the second information portion of the face layer and the support layer attached to it comprise substantially similar shape and external dimensions differing of 1-5 mm, or 2-4 mm.

7. A shelf talker label according to the claim 3 , wherein the first information portion comprises 5-50% of the printable information surface and the second information portion comprises 50-95% of the printable information surface.

8. A shelf talker label according to the claim 3 , wherein the support layer is attached to the face layer via optically transparent adhesive, wherein optionally the adhesive comprises acrylic emulsion adhesive.

9. A shelf talker label according to the claim 3 , comprising a laser printable front surface.

10. A shelf talker label according to claim 3 , wherein opacity of the printable face layer is implemented by color printed uniformly across a surface of the printable face layer.

11. A shelf talker label according to claim 3 , wherein opacity of the first information portion is uniform across the first information portion, and opacity of the second information portion is uniform across the second information portion.

12. A laser printable shelf talker label sheet comprising one or more removable shelf talker labels, wherein
the shelf talker label sheet comprises a printable face layer laminated to a support layer,
the shelf talker label sheet comprises one or more die cut removable shelf talker labels, and
the one or more shelf talker labels comprise at least
the printable face layer comprising a first information portion and a second information portion,
the support layer being adhesively attached to the face layer portion corresponding to the second information portion,
the support layer portion being detachably attached to the face layer portion corresponding to the first information portion, and
the printable face layer comprising optically transparent, fiber based material having an opacity of 15 to 30%, as determined according to TAPPI-425,
wherein the first information portion and the second information portion of the printable face layer have different opacities; and
wherein opacity of the first information portion is 10-30%, or 5-10%, or 3-5% smaller than opacity of the second information portion.

13. A shelf talker label sheet according to the claim 12 , wherein the second information portion of the face layer comprises printing or background printing, which printing or background printing is optionally coloured.

14. A shelf talker label sheet according to the claim 12 , wherein the adhesive surface portion of the face layer opposite to the second information portion comprises coloured adhesive.

15. A shelf talker label sheet according to the claim 12 , wherein the second information portion and the corresponding portion of the support layer, attached to the second information portion, comprise substantially similar shape and external dimensions differing of 1-5 mm, or 2-4 mm.

16. A shelf talker label sheet according to the claim 12 , wherein the first information portion comprises 5-50% of the printable information surface and the second information portion comprises 50-95% of the printable information surface of the shelf talker label.

17. A shelf talker label sheet according to the claim 12 , wherein the face layer comprises transparent paper or translucent paper.

18. A shelf talker label sheet according to the claim 12 , wherein the support layer is attached to the face layer via adhesive, wherein the adhesive comprises transparent, translucent or semi-transparent adhesive.

19. A shelf talker label sheet according to the claim 12 , wherein the support layer is attached to the face stock via adhesive, wherein optionally the adhesive comprises acrylic emulsion adhesive.

20. A shelf talker label sheet according to the claim 12 , wherein the shelf talker labels are die-cut so that the face layer is die-cut conforming with the area(s) of the printable information surface(s) of a single shelf talker label(s), and the support layer, adhesively attached to the face layer, is die-cut conforming the second information area(s) of the printable information surface(s) of the single shelf talker label(s).

21. A shelf talker label sheet according to the claim 20 , wherein the die-cut line of the face layer is separated from the die-cut line of the support layer of the same shelf talker at least by of 1-5 mm, or 2-4 mm.

22. A shelf talker label sheet according to the claim 12 , comprising a laser printable face layer front surface.
