Method and apparatus for production of labels

摘要

A method and apparatus for producing individual folded labels from a ribbon of labels. The label is formed by first providing a ribbon of labels with at least one folded over portion and then subjecting the folded ribbon to heat and pressure to set the fold. The folded pressed ribbon is then subdivided into individual labels. In an alternative embodiment, the folded and pressed ribbon can be rerolled and shipped to an end user for use in an auto-sewing device. The present invention further includes an apparatus for performing the method and a finished label made according to the method.
