3. Pressure Sensitive Labeling Theory A label is a piece of paper, polymer, cloth, metal, or other material affixed to a container or article, on which is printed a legend, information concerning the product, addresses, etc. A label may also be printed directly on the container or article. Labels have many uses: product identification, name tags, advertising, warnings, and other communication. Special types of labels called digital labels (printed through a digital printing) can also have special constructions such as RFID tags, security printing, and sandwich process labels.
4. Pressure Sensitive Labeling Theory Labels can be attached by: Pressure Sensitive Adhesives (also called PSA or self-stick) are applied with light pressure without activation or heat. PSA labels often have release liners which protect the adhesive and assist label handling. Heat Activated Adhesives: for an example, "in-mold labeling" can be part of blow molding containers and employs heat activated adhesives. Hot melt adhesives are also used. Wet glue, water moisten able gummed adhesive … and many more
5. Pressure Sensitive Labeling Theory Typical Label Configuration, applicator ready: Label Size Definition Label Construction Label Material Pressure Sensitive Adhesive Liner
7. Label Application Methods First Step of applying the label is to remove it from the liner Typically removal is achieved by guiding the liner with attached label, over the sharp edge… PEELER BAR While liner is following the path around the peel point, the beam strength of the label is forcing the label to continue in direction of travel and separate itself from the liner…
8. Label Application Methods Wipe-On The most common and most reliable method Label is separated from the liner and applied to the passing product at the same speed Label is attached to the product via Wipe-On device (brush) Speed synchronization is a critical issue Air Blow During separation process, label is guided with air assist blast against Vacuum Plate (Vacuum Grid) Vacuum is created by free flow air fan/blower Label is applied by the quick blow of strategically positioned jets, using compressed air Quality of attachment affected by many factors…
9. Label Application Methods Tamp-On During separation process, label is guided with air assist blast against Vacuum Plate (Tamp Pad) Vacuum is created by “Venturi” vacuum generators (compressed air) Label is applied by activating a slide, carrying Tamp Pad with Label and forcing the label to get in contact with the product Quality of attachment affected by many factors… Tamp-Blow Similar as Tamp-On, difference is that Tamp Pad is not making physical contact with product… at the end of slide stroke, label is Blown-On and attached to product with air blast
10. Label Application Methodscode-in-motion Exclusive CODE-IN-MOTION Proprietary “Touch & Go” The Label is separated from the liner and retained on top of “Touch & Go” Roller Grid Rollers are specially coated to accept label on adhesive side After separation, label is held in place by a small “tack” between label adhesive and rollers Label is attached to the product via Wipe-On device (brush) and taken away at any speed… Speed synchronization is NOT an issue, it is achieved automatically… as a byproduct of invention
11. Label Application Methodscode-in-motion Exclusive “Swing Tamp” with “Gimbal” Assembly During separation process, label is guided with air assist blast against Vacuum Plate (Tamp Pad) Vacuum is created by “Venturi” vacuum generators (compressed air) Label is applied by activating a Rotary Actuator with Long Arm, carrying Tamp Pad with Label and forcing the label to get in contact with the product Tamp Pad is suspended on conforming Gimbal assembly, allowing the label to be applied on uneven surfaces Equipped with Contact sensor, returning the arm to home position is automatic Common application, Pallet or Case labeling
12. Label Application Methodscode-in-motion Exclusive “Long Stroke Telescoping Tamp” with “Gimbal” During separation process, label is guided with air assist blast against Vacuum Plate (Tamp Pad) Vacuum is created by “Venturi” vacuum generators (compressed air) Label is applied by activating a Long Stroke Telescoping Slide, carrying Tamp Pad with Label and forcing the label to get in contact with the product Tamp Pad is suspended on conforming Gimbal assembly, allowing the label to be applied on uneven surfaces Equipped with Contact sensor, returning the arm to home position is automatic Common application, Pallet or Case labeling and hard to reach places
13. Label Application Methodscode-in-motion Exclusive “Free-Air Tamp Roll” During separation process, label is guided with air assist blast against Vacuum Plate (Grid)… sized to specific label size Vacuum is created by free flow air fan/blower Label is applied by activating a Short Stroke Slide, carrying Soft Roller forcing the leading edge of the label to get in contact with the product Common application, Pallet or Case labeling and hard to reach places
