LABELLED, RETURNABLE PLASTIC CRATE

摘要

Returnable plastics crate (1) has an ink only label (20) that is removable from the surface of the crate (1) without damage to that surface, the label being adhered to the surface by an activated adhesive layer (30,40). Also claimed is the process of applying a label to a polymeric surface by reverse printing on a substrate (10), from which the printing is separable, overprinting with adhesive, and transferring the ink printing from the substrate (10) to the surface; and use of the crate to send materials from a filling station to an outlet, with reuse of the crate by washing, refilling and reprinting of returned crates at the filling station.
