Wet glue is applied to the back of embossed labels, but the glue is prevented from coming into contact with the embossed regions, such as by non application of the glue to the embossed regions, or by the use of a water impermeable layer in the embossed regions. Under such conditions, the embossed regions may better maintain their structural integrity as the glue dries, and water evaporates at least partially through the non-embossed portions of the label. Also disclosed is a corresponding labelling method. The labels may be applied to articles such as beverage bottles. |
