Abstract
一种标签片(1),其具有一个释放衬垫(16)和一个可释放地粘附于其上的标签列(12),以允许容易地剥离标签。所述衬垫具有一条弱化分离线(30)和凹口(18),弱化分离线(30)是由靠近标签边缘的、在一个标签列之下延伸的切口和连结形成的,凹口(18)位于薄片的顶部和底部,并与切口和连结对齐。如果具有围绕标签的填料(14),那么该填料也具有切口和连结,填料中的切口和连结与衬垫中的切口和连结平行,且与之稍稍偏离。分离线足够牢固,以致标签片能够被传送通过打印机,但也足够脆弱,以致使用者能够沿着分离线撕掉衬垫和填料,从而使标签列暴露出较少的边缘,易于从标签片剥离。
A label sheet (1) having a release liner (16) and an array of labels (12) releasably adhered thereto to allow easy peeling of the labels. The liner has a weakened separation line (30) formed by cuts and links extending below an array of labels near the edges of the labels, and notches (18) located at the top and bottom of the sheet and aligned with the cuts and links. If there is filler (14) surrounding the labels, the filler also has cuts and links, the cuts and links in the filler being parallel to and slightly offset from the cuts and links in the liner. The separation line is strong enough to allow the label sheet to be fed through a printer, but weak enough to allow a user to tear the liner and filler along the separation line, thereby exposing a smaller edge of the array of labels for easy peeling from the label sheet.
Description
技术领域technical field
本发明涉及标签片(label sheet)。更具体地,本发明涉及可从中容易地剥离标签的标签片设计。The present invention relates to label sheets. More specifically, the present invention relates to label sheet designs from which labels can be easily peeled off.
背景技术Background technique
多年来一直使用可打印的8×11和A4薄片上的地址标签,作为在较短的时间内将大量地址或其他消息打印到介质的手段。在标签片打印好之后,需要将这些标签从薄片上剥离下来,粘附到信封或其他基底上。用手剥离标签的标准方法是,使用者在待剥离的第一个标签的一个边缘或拐角处向后弯曲标签片。这会使标签和衬垫分离。使用者在已分离的区域中抓住标签,将标签从标签片上剥离下来。然后,为每个标签重复这个操作。这个操作有点困难和耗时,并且需要一定的手工技巧。此外在不切入衬垫的情况下,可能难以对某些材料的组合(例如薄的或者柔软的表面与厚纸衬垫的组合)进行模切。如果模切入衬垫中,那么在将标签从衬垫上剥离下来的过程中,使用者也许会意外地撕下部分衬垫。Address labels on printable 8×11 and A4 sheets have been used for many years as a means of printing large numbers of addresses or other messages onto media in a relatively short period of time. After the label sheet is printed, the labels need to be peeled off the sheet and adhered to an envelope or other substrate. The standard method of peeling labels by hand is for the user to bend the tab back at one edge or corner of the first label to be peeled off. This will separate the label from the liner. The user grasps the label in the detached area and peels the label away from the label sheet. Then, repeat this operation for each label. This operation is somewhat difficult and time-consuming, and requires some manual skill. Also, it may be difficult to die cut certain material combinations, such as thin or flexible surfaces combined with thick paper liners, without cutting into the liner. If the die cut is into the liner, the user may accidentally tear off part of the liner during peeling the label off the liner.
现在人们已经发明了一些与自动标签剥离放置机器共同使用的标签条(label strip)或标签网(label web)。授予Hirst的5788284号美国专利公开了一种具有切口的标签条,其沿着释放衬垫的中心线延伸,并处于在各个标签的中心之下。该标签条在一个隔板中的V形凹口(notch)上移动,藉此自动地将标签从释放衬垫上分离下来。Now people have invented some label strips (label strips) or label webs (label webs) that are used in conjunction with automatic label peeling and placing machines. US Patent No. 5,788,284 to Hirst discloses a label strip having a cutout extending along the centerline of the release liner and under the center of each label. The label strip travels over a V-shaped notch in a shelf, thereby automatically separating the label from the release liner.
授予Ericson的5182152号美国专利公开了一种典籍(Bible)索引标签分配片,其在衬背中具有一条弱化线,且在各个标签中具有若干折线。在每个水平标签行的一侧上,释放条覆盖着弱化衬背线。释放条充当了防止该分配片提早裂开的粘合带。使用者抓住并拉开释放条,可将衬背从一部分所述水平标签行中撕下。US Patent No. 5,182,152 to Ericson discloses a Bible index label dispenser sheet having a line of weakness in the backing and fold lines in each label. On one side of each horizontal label row, a release strip covers a weakened backing line. The release strip acts as an adhesive strip that prevents the tablet from breaking prematurely. A user grasps and pulls the release strip to tear the backing from a portion of said horizontal row of labels.
发明内容Contents of the invention
本发明提供一种标签片组件,为了进行桌面打印,该标签片组件被传送通过(feed through)打印机,例如激光打印机、喷墨打印机或者其他连接到个人计算机的打印机。其后,能够在单次动作中扯掉释放衬垫的一个狭窄条。这使一个标签行或标签列内每个标签的狭窄条暴露出来,从而允许容易地剥离标签和将标签逐个地放置在某个其他物体或基底上。在一个具有边框(border)或填料(matrix)的标签片中(所述边框或填料处于标签周围,和/或在这些标签或部分标签之间延伸),释放衬垫和填料中都有弱化分离线(weakened separation line)。分离线是由释放衬垫和填料中的一系列切口和连结形成的。这些连结优选为在所述片的边缘附近最牢固,在所述片的内部较脆弱。这使得所述片能够抵抗打印机正常处理或打印中造成的、沿弱化分离线的撕扯,但是如果已经开始撕扯,那么撕扯就会容易地一直继续到释放衬垫的整个条带被揭掉时为止。如果要将凹口应用于每条弱化分离线的末端,那么凹口优选形成于释放衬垫和填料中。该凹口与衬垫和填料中的弱化分离线对齐。凹口有助于确保撕扯沿着弱化分离线开始。两条分离线充分靠近,使得使用者能够在单次动作中从薄片的剩余部分中将释放衬垫条撕掉,而不必移去分开的释放条,而且撕扯一旦开始就会继续,直到从薄片的剩余部分中完全撕掉释放衬垫。对切口尺寸和连结尺寸进行选择,以使所述组件牢固得足以传送通过打印机,例如激光打印机或喷墨打印机,但是也足够脆弱,以致使用者能够以轻松流畅的动作沿着分离线撕掉释放衬垫条,而在打印和撕扯步骤之间不需要为标签片进行任何其他的机械准备工作。切口长度与总的分离线长度之比大于95%,以确保容易分离。优选地,分离线离标签列的边缘大约是0.6厘米(约1/4英寸)。这样,标签的暴露部分充分外伸,使用者能够容易地抓住标签,而在标签列部分暴露的标签片中,所暴露的粘性区域并不太多,以致该标签片不容易粘附到放置标签片的桌子或其他表面上。The present invention provides a label sheet assembly that is fed through a printer, such as a laser printer, inkjet printer, or other printer connected to a personal computer, for desktop printing. Thereafter, one narrow strip of release liner can be ripped off in a single action. This exposes the narrow strip of each label within a label row or column, allowing the labels to be easily peeled off and individually placed on some other object or substrate. In a label sheet having a border or matrix that surrounds and/or extends between labels or parts of labels, there are weakened components in both the release liner and the matrix. Offline (weakened separation line). The separation line is formed by a series of cuts and joins in the release liner and padding. These bonds are preferably strongest near the edges of the sheet and weaker in the interior of the sheet. This makes the sheet resistant to tearing along the weakened separation line caused by normal handling or printing by the printer, but if tearing has already started, tearing can easily continue until the entire strip of release liner is peeled off . If notches are to be applied at the end of each weakened separation line, the notches are preferably formed in the release liner and filler. This notch aligns with the weakened separation line in the liner and packing. The notch helps ensure that the tear begins along the weakened separation line. The two separation lines are sufficiently close together that the user can tear the strip of release liner from the remainder of the sheet in a single action without having to remove the separate release strip, and once started the tearing continues until the strip is removed from the sheet. Remove the release liner completely from the rest of the product. The size of the cutout and the size of the link are chosen so that the assembly is strong enough to be transported through a printer, such as a laser or inkjet printer, but fragile enough that the user can tear it off along the separation line in one easy, smooth motion for release liner strip without requiring any additional mechanical preparation of the label sheet between the printing and tearing steps. The ratio of incision length to total separation line length is greater than 95% to ensure easy separation. Preferably, the separation line is about 0.6 cm (about 1/4 inch) from the edge of the column of labels. In this way, the exposed part of the label is sufficiently overhanging that the user can easily grasp the label, and in the label sheet with the label column partially exposed, the exposed adhesive area is not so much that the label sheet is not easy to adhere to the place. label sheet on a table or other surface.
因此在一个方面中,本发明提供了一种标签片组件,其被改进以易于用手剥离标签,所述标签片组件包括一个释放衬垫和一个可释放地粘附到所述释放衬垫的面材片(sheet of facestock material),所述面材包括形成于其中的至少一个第一标签列和至少部分地对所述标签进行套边的填料(matrix),其中第一弱化分离线形成于释放衬垫中在标签列之下,并且朝着所述标签列一个边缘的方向偏离所述标签列的中心,第二弱化分离线形成填料中,大致平行于第一弱化分离线延伸。释放衬垫具有与两条弱化分离线对齐的凹口,优先是具有在分离线的任一端的凹口。弱化分离线彼此偏离一个短距离,以致使用者能够在单次动作中撕掉衬垫条或填料条,使得标签列内的每个标签的部分衬垫已被剥离,因此在所述撕扯操作之后可容易地从所述标签片组件上剥离所述标签,而不需要使用者在所述撕扯操作之前先对所述标签进行任何其他的物理准备工作。弱化分离线优选是由衬垫中的切口和连结以及填料中的切口和连结形成,且最牢固的连结紧邻于所述组件的边缘或凹口。对于具有多个标签列的标签片,该标签片在衬垫和填料中均具有弱化分离线,其出现在每个标签列之下。Accordingly, in one aspect, the present invention provides a label sheet assembly that is improved for easy peeling of labels by hand, said label sheet assembly comprising a release liner and a releasably adhered to said release liner. A sheet of facestock material comprising at least one first column of labels formed therein and a matrix at least partially hemming said labels, wherein the first weakened separation line is formed at The release liner is below the row of labels and offset from the center of the row of labels towards one edge of the row of labels, a second weakened separation line is formed in the padding, extending substantially parallel to the first weakened separation line. The release liner has notches aligned with the two weakened separation lines, preferably at either end of the separation lines. The weakened separation lines are offset from each other by a short distance, so that the user can tear off the backing strip or filler strip in a single action, so that part of the liner of each label in the label column has been peeled off, so after said tearing operation The label can be easily peeled from the label sheet assembly without requiring any other physical preparation of the label by the user prior to the tearing operation. Weakened separation lines are preferably formed by cuts and bonds in the gasket and cuts and bonds in the filler, with the strongest bonds being immediately adjacent to the edges or notches of the components. For label sheets with multiple label columns, the label sheet has a weakened separation line in both the liner and padding that appears below each label column.

具体实施方式Detailed ways
图1显示了根据本发明第一个实施例的标签片组件10,其中的标签可被容易地剥落。标签组件10的整体标准尺寸优选为,例如8英寸×11英寸或者A4(大约21cm×29.7cm),或者4英寸×6英寸,或者与和个人计算机一起使用的标准打印机兼容的其他尺寸。组件10包括一个释放衬垫片或简称为释放衬垫16,以及经由压敏粘合剂可释放地粘附在其上的一个面材片。释放衬垫16上涂有一层薄的释放材料例如硅树脂,或者被构造或处理成可从其上容易地将标签剥离下来。该面材片包括大致为矩形的纸面材片或膜面材片,其中具有通过例如模切形成的多个标签12。未用于标签的面材片区域构成了边框或填料14。在该图中,所示的面材片小于释放衬垫16,但实际上面材片并不一定非要小于释放衬垫。此外,虽然所示的组件10具有填料,但是对于本发明,标签组件10并非必需包括围绕标签12的和/或在标签12之间的填料14。Fig. 1 shows a label sheet assembly 10 according to a first embodiment of the present invention, wherein the label can be easily peeled off. The overall standard size of the label assembly 10 is preferably, for example, 8.1 inches by 11 inches or A4 (approximately 21 cm by 29.7 cm), or 4 inches by 6 inches, or other sizes compatible with standard printers used with personal computers. Assembly 10 includes a release liner sheet or simply release
图2显示了图1的标签组件10的右下角特写。填料14具有形成于其中的弱化分离线20,其靠近标签列的一个边缘。填料分离线20包括多个切口22和多个小连结(tie)24。衬垫包括弱化分离线30,其在图2中显示为虚线。这条弱化分离线或衬垫分离线30一般从组件10的一个边缘延伸到组件10的相对边缘,并且优选沿着标签列在标签12之下、靠近标签边缘直线地延伸。优选地,衬垫分离线30离标签边缘不到1厘米,更优选地,离标签边缘不足约0.6厘米(大约1/4英寸)。显示的衬垫分离线30,在标签列之下竖直地延伸,或者,该组件可构造成使分离线在标签行之下水平地延伸。可选地,衬垫16包括凹口18,其一般与衬垫分离线30和填料14中的切口和连结22/24对齐。如图1所示,在所述组件的右上角形成了弱化分离线和凹口的类似结构。此外,组件10包括两组其他的弱化分离线和凹口,每一组用于一个标签列,其中弱化分离线在离标签列一个边缘大约0.6厘米处、在该标签列之下延伸。如果组件10已经被设计成包括不同数量的标签列,例如两列、四列、五列等等,那么组件就包括相应数量组的分离线和凹口。打印在面材上的箭头指示或者促使使用者在凹口18开始撕扯组件。或者,也可将其他指示性的标记或书面指令(例如短语“在此撕开”等等)打印在该组件上。FIG. 2 shows a close-up of the lower right corner of the label assembly 10 of FIG. 1 . The padding 14 has a weakened separation line 20 formed therein adjacent one edge of the column of labels. Filler separation line 20 includes a plurality of cuts 22 and a plurality of small ties 24 . The liner includes a weakened
为了便于说明,图中对分离线30与填料中形成填料分离线20的切口和连结22/24之间的距离进行了放大。衬垫和填料中的这些分离线优选被设置得足够靠近,以致在组件10已经被打印机打印之后,使用者能够如图4所示的那样以单次流畅的动作撕掉衬垫条和填料条26,而不需要在打印和撕扯步骤之间对组件10进行任何其他的物理准备工作。同时,分离线被稍微分开,以致覆盖在衬垫分离线30上的填料部分有助于阻止衬垫16被提早撕扯,并且在填料分离线20之下的衬垫部分有助于阻止填料被提早撕扯。使两条分离线偏离的另一个原因与制造过程有关。如果在衬垫中的分离线之上直接模切面材中的分离线,那么模切面材时很容易损坏面材,不能干净利落地切入面材中,这是因为衬垫的强度不足以支撑冲模切入面材中。因此,两条分离线优选偏离足够的距离,从而使得正常的制造公差不可能产生空切(cut-on-out)现象。优选地,填料分离线20偏离衬垫分离线30不到5mm;更优选地,两条线分开不到2mm;更优选地,两条线分开不到1mm。已经发现大约0.5mm的偏移距离对于典型的纸标签片产生好的结果。但是,精确的分离距离并不重要。此外,优选的分离距离取决于衬垫和填料的厚度和强度、压敏粘合剂的强度和释放衬垫的有效性、组件的总体尺寸和其他因素。For ease of illustration, the distance between the
图3显示了图2所示标签片10右下角的背面,其更详细地说明衬垫分离线30。衬垫分离线30包括多个切口32和多个连结36和38。在所示的实施例中,两个小连结36位于填料之下,一个小连结38位于每个标签12之下。连结的具体位置并不重要。此外,释放衬垫16包括一个位于凹口18附近的大连结31,或者如果没有凹口,那么大连结31位于释放衬垫16的边缘附近。FIG. 3 shows the backside of the lower right corner of the label sheet 10 shown in FIG. 2 illustrating the
填料分离线20和衬垫分离线30都平行于标签列的边缘延伸,并且被置于离标签列的边缘大约0.6厘米。精确的距离是不重要的。但是,优选地,分离线从标签列的边缘偏离得足够远,以致在剥离条26时,使用者能够容易地抓住和剥离标签12。同时,分离线足够靠近标签的边缘,以致在剥离条26时,在标签上所暴露的边缘足够窄,这样当标签片被放置在桌子或类似表面上时,剥离的标签12的暴露边缘不易粘附到桌子上。Both the filler separation line 20 and the
现在将参考图3、4和5描述这些构造的目的。图4显示了使用图1的标签片组件的一个方法。为了便于讨论,假设标签组件10的右上角具有一个构造,其是图2中所示构造的镜像,对应的部分具有相同的标识指示。使用者以一个拇指和食指在大约位置27处抓住标签组件10的一角,并且用另一个拇指和食指抓住释放衬垫和填料的狭窄条26,从而将剪切力集中在凹口18和大连结31,并且开始从薄片的其余部分撕掉条26。在大连结31断裂之后,撕掉填料衬垫条26相对容易地进行,通过释放衬垫16内的小连结36和38,以及填料14内的小连结24,直到条26被完全扯掉。这留下标签组件10,如图5所示,也就是,一个标签列12大部分粘附到释放衬垫16,但是有相对狭窄的标签条底层衬垫部分被剥离。使用者然后能够如所期望地那样容易地用手单个剥离各个标签12,而不需要在使用者每次想剥离下一个标签时折弯和操作组件10。The purpose of these configurations will now be described with reference to FIGS. 3 , 4 and 5 . FIG. 4 shows one method of using the tab sheet assembly of FIG. 1 . For ease of discussion, assume that the upper right corner of the label assembly 10 has a configuration that is a mirror image of the configuration shown in FIG. 2 , with corresponding parts having the same identification designations. The user grasps a corner of the label assembly 10 at approximately
图6显示了使用图1的标签片组件10的第二个方法。组件包括三组垂直的分离线,一组分离线与每个标签列相关联。分离线将组件分成三个各自的部分40、50和60,其可彼此各自分开。在图6中,左手部分40已经从中间部分50和右手部分60分离。左手部分40内的标签现在准备被单个从衬垫容易地撕掉并且粘附到信封或其他基底上。50和60部分还没有任何标签部分暴露其粘性侧。因此部分50和60能够被放置和/或存放用于以后使用,而不退化这些标签背面上的粘合剂。剩余部分50/60甚至能够被传送通过打印机用于以后打印。例如,如果只需要打印和使用10个或更少的标签,使用者就能够延伸组件10通过打印机,并且只在部分40中的标签列内的标签上打印。使用者然后可分离部分40并且使用这部分内的标签。可以存放剩下部分50/60用于以后使用。当附加的标签准备好被打印时,标签组件然后能被传送通过打印机,从部分60的右边缘开始。或者,可指示软件将标签的打印稍微从正常位置向右移动,使得部分50/60能够被传送通过打印机,从部分50的左边缘开始。通过可选择的软件开关或选项,软件可被指示进行这种调整。使用这后一个方法,标签的第一列40可被打印、撕掉和使用;随后标签的第二列50可被打印、撕掉和使用;随后标签的第三列60可被打印、撕掉和使用。FIG. 6 shows a second method of using the label sheet assembly 10 of FIG. 1 . The component includes three sets of vertical separator lines, one set associated with each label column. The separation line divides the assembly into three
当然,标签片上的标签不需要如图1的第一个实施例所示的一般是矩形的,并且彼此邻接。标签实际上可以是任何形状,并且可由其间的填料或裸露的衬垫完全隔开彼此。图7显示了一种这样的可能性,其中标签是圆的并且相互稍微隔开。Of course, the labels on the label sheet need not be generally rectangular and abut one another as shown in the first embodiment of FIG. 1 . The labels can be of virtually any shape and can be completely separated from each other with padding or bare liners in between. Figure 7 shows one such possibility, where the labels are round and slightly spaced from each other.
选择切口的尺寸和连结的尺寸,使得组件牢固得足以被传送通过打印机,例如激光打印机或喷墨打印机,但是也足够脆弱,以致使用者能够以轻松流畅的动作沿着分离线撕掉释放衬垫条,而不需要在打印和撕扯步骤之间的标签片的任何其他机械准备。切口长度与总的分离线长度之比大于95%,以确保容易分离。已经发现沿着分离线的面材和衬垫的6gm/cm的平均抗拉强度产生好的结果,并且期望大约4gm/cm至10gm/cm的值也产生好结果,并且大约2gm/cm至15gm/cm的值也是可接受的。The size of the cutout and the size of the link are chosen so that the assembly is strong enough to be transported through a printer, such as a laser or inkjet printer, but fragile enough that the user can tear off the release liner along the separation line in an easy, smooth motion strips without any additional mechanical preparation of the label sheet between the printing and tearing steps. The ratio of incision length to total separation line length is greater than 95% to ensure easy separation. An average tensile strength of 6 gm/cm for the facestock and liner along the separation line has been found to give good results, and values of about 4 gm/cm to 10 gm/cm are expected to also give good results, and about 2 gm/cm to 15 gm A value of /cm is also acceptable.
图8显示了类似图1所示实施例的第三个实施例,但是标签组件不包括凹口。Figure 8 shows a third embodiment similar to that shown in Figure 1, but the label assembly does not include the notch.
如图1和图2所示,面材稍微小于衬垫16,以致填料14没有延伸到标签组件的边缘。如果面材延伸到标签组件的边缘,那么理想的是在填料14和衬垫16中都形成凹口18。As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the face stock is slightly smaller than the
在另一个可能的实施例中,标签组件甚至不包括对标签进行套边的填料。在图1中,例如在买产品之前,填料14可整个从标签片剥离。或者整张面材可被模切,以致全部面材形成标签。面材可占据与图1所示的面材面积相同的大小,或者显著更小的面积。不管面材是被如何构造、成形和切割的,没有填料的标签片仍然可利用本发明,以便能够以流畅的动作将衬垫材料的狭窄条一次性地从许多标签中容易地剥离下来,从而使这些标签的一个较小部分暴露出来,以致随后可从衬垫的剩余部分上容易地将它们剥离下来。In another possible embodiment, the label assembly does not even include padding to edge the label. In Fig. 1, the filler 14 can be completely peeled off from the label sheet, for example before buying the product. Or the entire facestock can be die cut such that the entire facestock forms a label. The facestock may occupy the same size as the facestock area shown in Figure 1, or a significantly smaller area. Regardless of how the facestock is constructed, shaped and cut, label sheets without filler can still take advantage of the present invention so that narrow strips of liner material can be easily peeled off many labels at once in one smooth motion, thereby A small portion of the labels is exposed so that they can then be easily peeled off from the remainder of the liner.
