Abstract
Abstract A method of bonding a thermosensitive adhesive label (10) equipped on the back thereof with a thermosensitive adhesive (11) exhibiting tackiness upon heating and holding it for an extended period of time, is described. The main characteristic of this method is to comprise the steps of: placing said thermosensitive adhesive label (10) on a heat-resistant conveyor belt (16) heated by a heater (21) or the like; conveying said thermosensitive adhesive label (10) while heating said thermosensitive adhesive (11) via said heat-resistant conveyor belt (16) so that said adhesive (11) develops its tackiness; peeling said thermosensitive adhesive label (10) from said heat-resistant conveyor belt (16) by means of an acute bend in said heat-resistant conveyor belt; and bonding said thermosensitive adhesive label (10) to an object article (24) to be labelled.
