Pressure sensitive adhesive label for wet irregular surfaces

摘要

The present invention relates to improved self-adhesive labels which are suitable far use in adhering to wet surfaces or wet irregularly shaped surfaces such as that found on fruits and vegetables. The self-adhesive label is made of a water absorbent backing layer having opposing sides and a rubber-based pressure sensitive adhesive applied on one side of the backing layer. The adhesive is discontinuously coated as a pattern onto the backing layer to provide areas of the adhesive interspersed with areas which are free of adhesive.

主权项

1. A self-adhesive label comprising:
a water absorbent backing layer; a rubber-based pressure sensitive adhesive discontinuously applied as a pattern onto the backing layer to provide areas of adhesive interspersed with adhesive-free areas, wherein the areas which are free of adhesive being at most 90 percent of the total available area of the backing layer; wherein the label adheres to wet, irregular shaped surfaces.
