Abstract
Abstract A web for the production of self-adhesive paper labels consists of thin paper web and a very thin plastic sheet of polyester or a similar material of high tensile strength and low initial stretchability, yet of low tear strength due to its small thickness, e.g. 12 μm. Labels of such a web show a high tensile strength and a good flexibility, while they show a sufficient low tear strength to be usable as guarantee labels. In the production of the labels as left on a co-laminated backing sheet the so-called `waste` may be drawn off at high speed, whereby the production may run at increased speed.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
121 words
A web of a label sheet material comprising a printable paper laying having a layer of an adhesive at one side thereof, characterized in that the material further comprises a very thin plastic sheet interposed between the paper and the adhesive, the plastic sheet being bonded to the paper and being of a material which has a high tensile strength and a low initial extensibility, the very thin plastic sheet having a sufficiently higher tensile strength and sufficiently low initial extensibility such that the printable paper layer is reinforced and a label can be provided from said label sheet material whose tear stength is low so that the label cannot be removed from its mounting surface without rupture of the label.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
121 words
A web of a label sheet material comprising a printable paper laying having a layer of an adhesive at one side thereof, characterized in that the material further comprises a very thin plastic sheet interposed between the paper and the adhesive, the plastic sheet being bonded to the paper and being of a material which has a high tensile strength and a low initial extensibility, the very thin plastic sheet having a sufficiently higher tensile strength and sufficiently low initial extensibility such that the printable paper layer is reinforced and a label can be provided from said label sheet material whose tear stength is low so that the label cannot be removed from its mounting surface without rupture of the label.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
A web according to claim 1, in which the plastic sheet has a thickness of 5-40 μm.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
15 words
A web according to claim 2, wherein the plastic sheet has thickness of 10-15 μm.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
21 words
A web according to claim 1, in which the plastic sheet is provided as parallel, mutually spaced strips on the paper.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
33 words
A web according to claim 4, in which the strips are bonded to the paper by a layer of lacquer, which layer of lacquer is present on the paper also between the strips.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
16 words
A label as produced from a web according to any one of claims 1,2,4 or 5.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
21 words
A web according to claim 1, in which the thickness of the paper material corresponds to about 40-70 g/m 2 .
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
17 words
A web according to claim 1, in which said plastic shedt is made of a polyester material.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
34 words
A web according to claim 1, further including a backing web adjacent the layer of adhesive at a side of said layer of adhesive opposite to the side thereof nearest the printable paper layer.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
31 words
A web according to claim 1, wherein said plastic sheet is made of a material that prevents the adhesive, of the layer of adhesive, from intruding into the printable paper layer.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
19 words
A web according to claim 1, wherein the plastic sheet is provided as a continuous web on the paper.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
80 words
A web according to claim 1, wherein said label sheet material constitutes a material to provide guarantee sealing of articles having at least two portions movable relative to each other, whereby a label formed of said label sheet material, placed across a separation line between two of said at least two portions, can resist forces acting in the plane of the label while not being strong enough to enable drawing off and remounting of the label across said separation line.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
11 words
A label as produced from a web according to claim 12.
