Removable lenticular labels for use on printed matter

1. A lenticular label for removable attachment to a surface of an object comprising:

a transparent sheet having a first planar side and a second side having a lenticulated region;

a printed image on the first planar side; and

a low-tack adhesive disposed along the printed image, the low-tack adhesive being configured to provide tangential adhesion between the label and the surface to which the label is removably attached.

2. The label of claim 1 , wherein the printed image includes interlaced imagery and an opacifier that forms an outer layer of the printed image.

3. The label of claim 2 , wherein the opacifier comprises an uninterrupted conformal layer of white ink.

4. The label of claim 1 , further including a backside printing that is disposed on the printed image.

5. The label of claim 1 , wherein the low-tack adhesive comprises resilient spherules that partially populate a back surface of the printed image.

6. The label of claim 5 , wherein the low tack adhesive comprises an emulsion carrying an acrylate in dispersion.

7. The label of claim 1 , wherein the object comprises printed matter.

8. A lenticular label for removable attachment to a surface of an object comprising:

a transparent sheet having a first planar side and a second side having a lenticulated region;

a printed image on the first planar side;

a strippable carrier that includes an intermediate carrier sheet that has a first face and an opposing second face, the first face facing the surface of the object, the second face facing the printed image; and

a first low-tack adhesive disposed along the first face of the carrier and a second low-tack adhesive disposed along the second face of the carrier, the first low-tack adhesive providing tangential adhesion between the carrier and the label, the second low-tack adhesive providing tangential adhesion between the label and the surface of the object, whereby the carrier is easily removed from the label to separate the two from one another.

9. The label of claim 8 , wherein the second low-tack adhesive has a lower tack value compared to the first low-tack adhesive.

10. The label of claim 8 , wherein the low-tack adhesive comprises resilient spherules that partially populate a back surface of the printed image.

11. The label of claim 10 , wherein the low tack adhesive comprises an emulsion carrying an acrylate in dispersion.

12. The label of claim 8 , wherein the object comprises printed matter.

13. A lenticular label for removable attachment to a surface of an objected comprising:

a transparent sheet having a first planar side and a second side having a lenticulated region;

a printed image on the first planar side; and

at least one rupturable tab member releasingly attached along one edge of the transparent sheet, wherein a bottommost surface of the tab member includes a low-tack adhesive, the low-tack adhesive being configured to provide tangential adhesion between the tab member and the surface to which the label is removably attached.

14. The label of claim 13 , wherein the tab member is attached to the edge along a tear seam.

15. The label of claim 13 , wherein there are two rupturable tab members disposed along opposing side edges of the transparent sheet, wherein opposing edges of the tab member and transparent sheet defines an internal cusp that serves as an aid to detach the tab member from the transparent sheet.

16. A foldable lenticular label for removable attachment to a surface of an object comprising:

a lenticulated structure including a transparent sheet having a first planar side and a second side having a lenticulated region and a printed image on the first planar side;

a foldable substrate having a first face and an opposing second face, the lenticulated structure being disposed along the first face, the substrate being folded along a first fold; and

a low-tack adhesive disposed along at least a portion of the first face of the substrate on one side of the first fold, the low-tack adhesive being configured to provide tangential adhesion between the label and the surface of the object to which the label is removably attached.

17. The label of claim 16 , wherein the lenticulated structure is disposed along the first face on the substrate on another side of the first fold, wherein a low-tack closure adhesive is disposed along the second face of the substrate for releasable attachment to another region of the second face of the folded substrate, the closure adhesive providing a means for releasably holding the label in a folded position.

18. The label of claim 17 , wherein the substrate is folded along a second fold, opposite the first fold, to define an intermediate folded section that is disposed between a portion of the substrate that contains the lenticulated structure and a portion that contains the low-tack adhesive.

19. The label of claim 17 , further comprising a rupturable permanent seal that maintains the lenticulated structure and foldable substrate in a folded position.

20. The label of claim 19 , wherein the permanent seal is formed adjacent and a free edge of the lenticulated structure and an end of the substrate.

21. The label of claim 20 , further including a second rupturable seam formed proximate the first fold, whereby the lenticulated structure can be freely removed by rupturing of the permanent seal and the second rupturable seam.

22. The label of claim 17 , wherein a thickness of the lenticulated structures is between about 8 mils to about 20 mils.
