Adhesive label and roll
An adhesive label is provided. The adhesive label includes an adhesive patch that covers at least 50% but less than 85% of a backside surface of the adhesive label and that is at least partially horizontally and vertically centered on the backside surface.
1. A roll of labels, comprising:
a substrate comprising a plurality of labels; and
each label comprises:
adhesive areas discontinuously disposed on a backside of the substrate, wherein each adhesive area is contiguously disposed on the backside of the substrate; and
void areas on the backside of the substrate that are devoid of an adhesive, wherein each void area is contiguous on the backside of the substrate and is adjacent to at least one of the adhesive areas or at least two of the adhesive areas;
wherein the adhesive areas of each label comprise more than four of the adhesive areas.
2. The roll of claim 1 , wherein each of the adhesive areas of each label is a stripe of the adhesive disposed continuously along the backside of the substrate.
3. The roll of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive areas are arranged in contiguous columns on the backside of the substrate and each pair of the adhesive areas is separated by a corresponding contiguous column of one of the void areas.
4. The roll of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive areas are staggered on the backside of the substrate and each pair of the adhesive areas is separated by a corresponding staggered one of the void areas.
5. The roll of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive of the adhesive areas is a pressure sensitive adhesive, high tack adhesive, or heat-activated adhesive.
6. The roll of claim 1 , wherein the labels of the substrate are linerless labels.
7. The roll of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive of the adhesive areas for a corresponding label covers less than 62% of a backside surface area of the substrate associated with the corresponding label.
8. The roll of claim 1 , wherein the labels are variable sized labels on the substrate of the roll.
9. The roll of claim 1 , wherein a frontside of the substrate includes a thermal top coating.
10. The roll of claim 9 , wherein the frontside of the substrate includes a release coating disposed over at least a portion of the thermal top coating.
11. The roll of claim 10 , wherein the release coating is a silicone-based or water-based release coating.
12. A roll of labels, comprising:
a web of a substrate comprising a plurality of labels; and
each label comprises:
adhesive stripes disposed on a backside of the substrate, wherein each of the adhesive stripes to do not intersect with any other remaining one of the adhesive stripes, wherein adhesive stripes comprise more than four of the adhesive stripes; and
void stripes that are devoid of an adhesive on the backside of the substrate, wherein each void stripe is adjacent to at least one of the adhesive stripes or at least two of the adhesive stripes.
13. The roll of labels of claim 12 , wherein the adhesive associated with the adhesive stripes of a corresponding label covers less than 62% of a backside surface area of the substrate associated with the corresponding label.
14. The roll of labels of claim 12 , wherein the labels are linerless labels.
15. The roll of labels of claim 12 , wherein a frontside of the substrate includes a thermal top coating.
16. The roll of labels of claim 15 , wherein the frontside of the substrate further includes a release coating disposed over the thermal top coating.
17. The roll of labels of claim 12 , wherein each adhesive stripe is a rectangular-shaped or column-shaped stripe of the adhesive.
18. The roll of labels of claim 17 , wherein each void stripe is of a same rectangular-shaped or a same column-shaped stripe as a corresponding adhesive strip.
19. A label, comprising:
a substrate;
adhesive columns disposed on a backside of the substrate, wherein the adhesive columns comprise more than four of the adhesive columns, wherein each adhesive column is contiguous and does not intersect any remaining ones of the adhesive columns on the backside of the substrate; and
void columns disposed on the backside of the substrate that are devoid of an adhesive, wherein each void column is contiguous and does no intersect any remaining ones of the void columns on the backside of the substrate.
20. The label of claim 19 , wherein the label is a linerless label.
