A wristband is provided. The wristband includes an elongated first body, an elongated second body, and an adhesive coupling system all of which are disposed in layers. The first body, which is the upper layer has an outer surface that is a printing surface. The second body, which is the lower layer is made from a comfortable fibrous sheet material. The adhesive is disposed between the two bodies, thereby coupling the bodies together. A portion at one end of the second body, a tab portion, has a release coating on the inner surface. In this configuration, the tab can be removed and the adhesive underneath can be attached to the other end of the wristband. As the tab is part of the second body, as opposed to a separate release liner, the wristband may be disposed on a roll and passed through a label printer.

SELF-ROLLING ADHESIVE FILM

Номер: US20130220532A1
Автор: Kawanishi Michirou, KIUCHI Kazuyuki, Nishio Akinori
Принадлежит: NITTO DENKO CORPORATION

An easily detachable adhesive film, which is deformed into a cylindrical shape by heating to facilitate collection, fails to be sufficiently bonded to the surface of a workpiece, if the surface of the adhesive layer is roughened by the presence of irregularities. Because of this, when water penetrates in dicing, the adhesive layer peels off from the surface of the workpiece and may fail to achieve a surface-protection purpose. In addition, when the easily detachable adhesive film is deformed into a cylindrical shape by heating, detachment stress may not uniformly applied to a workpiece, with the result that the film cannot be smoothly deformed into a cylindrical shape; at the same time, a larger amount of glue remains in the surface of a workpiece than a conventional peel-detachment. A self-rolling adhesive film composed of a multi-layered substrate including at least one thermal contraction film, an adhesive layer and a separator, in which the surface of the adhesive layer after the separator is detached has an arithmetic average roughness Ra of 1.0 μm or less. 1. A self-rolling adhesive film comprising a multi-layered substrate comprising a thermal contraction film , an adhesive layer and a separator , wherein the surface of the adhesive layer after detachment of the separator has an arithmetic average roughness Ra of 1.0 μm or less.2.

The upper pull tab section has a liner material portion cut out to adhere to a back or under side of the upper tab section upon pulling the label off the liner material for use. The lower label section and wings has exposed adhesive upon the label being pulled off the liner material for use. Once the label is placed on the packaging, the lower label section and the upper pull tab with adjacent tab wings are aligned to straddle the opening seam of the packaging. The tab maybe pulled away from the label and torn away from the wings while remaining intact with the lower label section to evidence the package has been opened or otherwise tampered with. The label is manufactured by a flexo-graphic web method.
