Reusable Adherent Labels and Related Methods

摘要

Reusable, PSA labels and related methods. Some labels comprise a layer of PSA and an information layer. The PSA layer defines bond and exposed surfaces wherein the exposed surface is removable and bondable to contact surfaces. Additionally, the information layer defines exposed and bond surfaces wherein the exposed surface is able to receive a (removable) marking. The information layer is bonded to the layer of PSA. Labels can comprise Braille structures on the exposed surfaces of the information layer. Some reusable PSA labels comprise an intermediate adhesive layer so that the bonding is via the intermediate layer. If desired, the bond surfaces of the PSA layers can be on a sub-layer of the PSA layers and can have flow temperatures of no more than about 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Moreover, labels can have PSA layers that remain flexible at a temperature of about 20 degrees Fahrenheit.

1. A reusable, pressure sensitive, adhesive (PSA) label comprising:
a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive defining a bond surface and an exposed surface and being flexible at a temperature of about 20 degrees Fahrenheit, the exposed surface having a property of being removably bondable to a contact surface when pressed there against; a sub-layer of the pressure sensitive adhesive layer wherein the bond surface of the pressure sensitive adhesive layer is situated on a sub-layer of the pressure sensitive adhesive layer having a flow temperature of between about 250 and about 300 degrees Fahrenheit; an information layer defining an exposed surface and a bond surface, the exposed surface of the information layer having the properties of being able to receive a marking to convey information and being able to have the marking removed there from, the information layer being bonded to the layer of pressure sensitive adhesive via the bond surfaces; and a Braille structure on the exposed surface of the information layer.
