TECHNIQUES FOR LABELING OF PLASTIC, GLASS OR METAL CONTAINERS OR SURFACES WITH POLYMERIC LABELS

摘要

The invention provides a method for fastening a polymeric label to a glass, plastic or metal container or surface by means of a water based adhesive composition by the following steps: (a) applying a layer of a hydrophilic solid material to a polymeric label to form a hydrophilic layer; (b) applying water or a water based adhesive to the hydrophilic layer to form a fastenable polymeric label; (c) fastening the fastenable polymeric label to a glass, plastic or metal container or surface; and (d) allowing said polymeric label to dry on the glass, plastic or metal container or surface.
