Novel, scored synthetic in-mold labels (20) and molded substrates in the form of, for example, hollow plastic containers (10) labeled therewith are disclosed. The novel, scored synthetic in-mold labels (20) are applied to hollow plastic containers via vacuum during the molding operations of the containers. The in-mold labels (20) are prepared from olefin resins and can be in the form of single- or multiple-layered structures. Moreover, the in-mold labels are scored with lines of weakness (22, 24) for dividing the in-mold labels into removable and non-removable sections (23 and 21, 25) which may be separated from one another along the lines of weakness (22, 24) by hand. The non-removable sections (21, 25) can be affixed to the molded containers by permanent adhesives (30) or thermal bonds while the removable sections can be affixed to the molded containers via release coatings, removable adhesives (31) or light thermal bonds. Alternatively, the removable sections (23) may be designed so that they remain unaffixed to the molded containers. The removable sections (23) of the in-mold labels (20) may be in the form of proof-of-purchase coupons. |
