<p>A simple-structured and inexpensive label tape and a method of its use make it possible to roll up the label tape in the form of a roll even without a release liner, facilitate its handling and permit the label tape to be printed freely. The label tape (1) includes an elongated label base material (2) supporting a continuous row of label units having prints of a label picture. The label tape (1) has an adhesive 3 coated on the back surface. The adhesive remains unadhesive at normal temperatures but restores its adhesive force enough for adhesion when heated. Upon using the label tape (1), a length of the label tape (1), which is a label unit (9), is unrolled and cut with a blade (15) from a roll (7) of the label tape (1), then heated with a heater 3 to heat an adhesive (3) on the back surface of each cut label unit, and thereafter affixed to a product with the adhesive having restored the adhesive force. <IMAGE></p> |
