PEEL-BACK OVERLAPPING LABEL

摘要

This peel-back overlapping label has excess label panels that overlap t he portion of the label adhered to the bottle. It uses a "breakaway" system rather than a "release" system to keep the excess label panels from adhering to the portions adhered to the bottle surface. The label is first run in standard fashion with pressure sensitive adhesive on the reverse/back side and a normal print ed message on the outward/front side. Then, the printed surfaces to be overlapp ed receive an additional impress/coating of transparent extender "printed" over the already printed surface. This extender coat can form a full or partial breakaway surface, effectively neutralizing ail or almost all of the tackiness of the adhesive on the overlapping label portions. The breakaway surface can be printed so a s to leave a peripheral area free to adhere, leave an edge portion free from adhesive so as to provide a grab and peel edge for the user, and to have som e interior unprinted portions to aid in maintaining open-and-shut adhesion.
