The disclosure relates to a mechanically recyclable label (1) comprising a face (2) and an adhesive (4). The face (2) comprises ethylene containing polymer and the adhesive (4) comprises pressure sensitive adhesive. The pressure sensitive adhesive comprises at least 15 wt.% of a base polymer, at least 25 wt.% of a tackifier and at least 10 wt.% of a plasticizer. The base polymer, the tackifier and the plasticizer are colourless and odourless. The base polymer is a polyolefin. The mechanically recyclable label (1) is mechanically recyclable with packaging material comprising ethylene containing polymer. The disclosure further relates to a label laminate (8), a method for manufacturing a label laminate (8), a labelled item (101), as well as to use of a label (1) and of a label laminate (8). The disclosure also relates to use of a waste matrix of the label laminate for producing granulates of recycled plastic.

Data regarding the selected artwork is retrieved from a data storage. Printing properties are defined for the selected artwork, and a set of available unique codes for the labels is determined on the basis of the user identification. A printing file is constructed including information related to at least the selected artwork and printing material selected for the printing job. The printing file is stored into a cloud storage linked with the identified user. A unique code is assigned for each label from the set of available unique codes. The unique code is assigned either in the printing file or when printing the labels.

Abstract

This invention relates to a label arrangement for consumer destined food packages. A food package (10, 50) comprises at least an undertray (20) and a lidstock (40) arranged together defining in between a cavity for a food product (30). The label arrangement according to the invention comprises a printable face material (110) and a pressure sensitive adhesive (120) for attachment of the label (100) onto the package (10, 50). The adhesive surface of the pressure sensitive adhesive (120) layer is arranged to have one or more adhesion free (550) and printed zones and the label (100) is further arranged with one or more weakenings (700) through the label face material (110) allowing to manually fold the part of the label with adhesion free (550) and printed zone for visual inspection of said printing while the label (100) otherwise remains attached to the package (10, 50). The label (100) is arranged onto the package (10, 50) so that said manual folding of the part of the label with the adhesion free (550) and printed zone increases visual access to food product (30) in the package (10, 50).

Abstract

The specification relates to a label laminate web with open-closure type clean peel removable pressure sensitive adhesive and at least one high-accuracy adhesion-free area. The label laminate web comprises a face stock, a pressure sensitive adhesive layer and a release liner. The face stock is adjoined to the release liner via the pressure sensitive adhesive layer. The pressure sensitive adhesive layer comprises an open-closure type removable pressure sensitive adhesive. A predetermined level of anchorage is arranged between the face stock and the pressure sensitive adhesive layer for obtaining clean peel. The release liner comprises a release agent arranged to build a releasable contact with the pressure sensitive adhesive layer. The label laminate web comprises at least one label width, and the face stock of the at least one label width comprises an adhesive area and at least one adhesion-free area on longitudinal edge of the face stock in machine direction of the label laminate web. Accuracy of the width and/or position of the adhesion-free area in cross machine direction along longitudinal edge of the face stock is at least ± 1.0 mm. The specification further relates to a converted label web, an open-closure sealing label and a package sealed with the open-closure sealing label.

Abstract

This invention relates to a label arrangement for consumer destined food packages. A food package (10, 50) comprises at least an undertray (20) and a lidstock (40) arranged together defining in between a cavity for a food product (30). The label arrangement according to the invention comprises a printable face material (110) and a pressure sensitive adhesive (120) for attachment of the label (100) onto the package (10, 50). The adhesive surface of the pressure sensitive adhesive (120) layer is arranged to have one or more adhesion free (550) and printed zones and the label (100) is further arranged with one or more weakenings (700) through the label face material (110) allowing to manually fold the part of the label with adhesion free (550) and printed zone for visual inspection of said printing while the label (100) otherwise remains attached to the package (10, 50). The label (100) is arranged onto the package (10, 50) so that said manual folding of the part of the label with the adhesion free (550) and printed zone increases visual access to food product (30) in the package (10, 50).

Abstract

Sealing a package with a visually transparent sealing label is described. The visually transparent sealing label contains an ultraviolet blocking component to prevent transmission of ultraviolet radiation through the label to the surface of the package. The package comprises an activatable component that upon excitation with ultraviolet radiation emits luminescence. The presence of the sealing label on the package may be verified by illuminating the sealing label with ultraviolet radiation and by observing whether the level of luminescence from the package material under the sealing label is lower than a limit value.
