"Lam to Liner" Booklet Labels for Curved Surfaces |
||
|
A special patented booklet label that is designed to handle small diameters well. It's comprised of an offset printed booklet or pamphlet laminated to a die cut pressure sensitive label just like our standard booklet/foldout labels with one major exception: one laminated wing extends beyond the base label to lay directly on the silicone carrier liner. As this booklet label is applied, the extended wing opens slightly reducing tension until the labeling equipment tamps it down. With the tension gone, the label gets a nicer lay down on the product and is much easier to open. Pharmaceutical companies really love this design. You need to see the pictures to truly understand the concept. All other specs are the same as the booklet/foldout/extended content labels above. Two dies are required. This label must be applied with the folded or bound edge first. A special "zig-zag" die cut is available to ensure that the lot and date codes stay with the product if the booklet is removed. Hand or machine applied. Patent number: 5,399,403 Comments: Pharmaceutical companies love this product because it forms so nicely around small diameters.
What happens when you use a standard foldout label on a small round container.This is a picture showing why you shouldn't use a standard foldout label on tight curves. The lamination forms a bump (see arrow) as the booklet label is applied to the containers. The bump creates an ugly crushed wing. Moreover, the wing has so much tension that it becomes stiff and often will lift days after application. When we use the “glued booklet label”, the "baseless" or "lam to liner" constructions, the tension is removed and the booklet label lays down smoothly. Our products for curved surfaces open easier and apply much better with automatic label equipment. |
