APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR APPLYING LINERLESS LABELS

摘要

A method and apparatus useful in the application of linerless labels to surfaces of elements is provided in a methodology so that conventional linered label applicators can be used with linerless labels. A source of linerless labels is provided comprising a composite of an elongate sheet of reusable, temporary liner having adhered to a low adhesion surface of said reusable, temporary liner an adhesive face of a precut linerless label, the composite possibly being in a roll. The source of linerless labels is used in a method for enabling a linered label applicator to accept linerless label sheet for application to the surface of elements comprising associating a source of precut linerless labels on a roll of reusable, temporary liner sheet to a linered label applicator so that a composite of: a) the reusable, temporary liner sheet and b) preferably micro-bridged cut-out linerless labels is fed into the linered label applicator where linered label is normally directed into the linered label applicator.
