CLEAR POLYMERIC LABEL INCLUDING DELAMINATABLE MASK LAYER

摘要

A clear polymeric label (10) including a delaminatable mask layer (12) is provided. The label (10) includes a non-cavitated mask layer (12) having a first side (101) that is suitable for forming a cohesive bond with an adhesive (22), preferably a water-based adhesive. The cohesive bond between the first side (101) of the mask layer (12) and the adhesive (22) is greater than the cohesive bond between the second side (102) of the mask layer (12) and its adjacent layer (14), whereby attempted removal of the label (10) results in separation of the mask layer (12), which remains attached to the container, and masks the adhesive (22).
