Abstract
Abstract A releasable self-adhesive film laminate designed for a sealed label or card comprises a pair of transparent films made of a thermoplastic EVA composition mainly comprising about 3 to 18% by weight of vinyl acetate and about 97 to 82% by weight of ethylene formed through a thermoforming process, for example, blow-molding and urging facing inner walls of the molded tubular film to each other, while hot, under pressure. A sealed label or card can be made easily and simply by using the releasable self-adhesive film laminate.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
86 words
A releasable self-adhesive film laminate designed for a sealed label or card having a pair of transparent films prepared by blow-molding a thermoplastic EVA composition comprising about 3 to 18% by weight of vinyl acetate and about 97 to 82% by weight of ethylene at a molding die temperatures of about 120° to 210° C. to form a hollow tubular film body, and then urging facing wall surfaces of the molded tubular body, while hot, under pressure to laminate and releasably bond them to each other.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
86 words
A releasable self-adhesive film laminate designed for a sealed label or card having a pair of transparent films prepared by blow-molding a thermoplastic EVA composition comprising about 3 to 18% by weight of vinyl acetate and about 97 to 82% by weight of ethylene at a molding die temperatures of about 120° to 210° C. to form a hollow tubular film body, and then urging facing wall surfaces of the molded tubular body, while hot, under pressure to laminate and releasably bond them to each other.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
A film laminate as defined in claim 1, wherein releasing paper is appended by way of a pressure sensitive adhesive layer to at least one side of said film laminate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
130 words
A label equipped with a releasable seal, the label having: a label substrate of which one surface is to have a printed or written message, a cover seal attached releasably over the printed or written surface of the label substrate, and a releasable self-adhesive film laminate firmly sandwiched by means of transparent pressure-sensitive adhesive layers between the label substrate and the cover seal, to releasably bond the cover seal to the surface of the label substrate, wherein the releasable self-adhesive film laminate comprises a pair of transparent films, each made of a thermoplastic EVA composition comprising about 3 to 18% by weight of vinyl acetate and about 97 to 82% by weight of ethylene prepared by a thermoforming process and by being bonded to each other while hot under pressure.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
130 words
A label equipped with a releasable seal, the label having: a label substrate of which one surface is to have a printed or written message, a cover seal attached releasably over the printed or written surface of the label substrate, and a releasable self-adhesive film laminate firmly sandwiched by means of transparent pressure-sensitive adhesive layers between the label substrate and the cover seal, to releasably bond the cover seal to the surface of the label substrate, wherein the releasable self-adhesive film laminate comprises a pair of transparent films, each made of a thermoplastic EVA composition comprising about 3 to 18% by weight of vinyl acetate and about 97 to 82% by weight of ethylene prepared by a thermoforming process and by being bonded to each other while hot under pressure.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
27 words
A label as defined in claim 3, wherein the surface of the label substrate bonded to the film laminate is applied with a pressure-sensitive color developing layer.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
27 words
A label as defined in claim 3, wherein the surface of the label substrate bonded to the film laminate is applied with a heat-sensitive color developing layer.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
125 words
A card equipped with a releasable seal having: a card substrate with one surface having a printed or written message which is intended to be concealed, a cover seal of a high hiding power attached releasably over the card substrate, and a releasable self-adhesive film laminate sandwiched by means of transparent pressure-sensitive adhesive layers between the card substrate and the cover seal, wherein the releasable self-adhesive film laminate comprises a pair of transparent films, each made of a thermoplastic EVA composition comprising about 3 to 18% by weight of vinyl acetate and about 97 to 82% by weight of ethylene prepared by a thermoforming process and by being bonded to each other, while hot, under pressure thereby forming a releasable boundary between the paired films.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
125 words
A card equipped with a releasable seal having: a card substrate with one surface having a printed or written message which is intended to be concealed, a cover seal of a high hiding power attached releasably over the card substrate, and a releasable self-adhesive film laminate sandwiched by means of transparent pressure-sensitive adhesive layers between the card substrate and the cover seal, wherein the releasable self-adhesive film laminate comprises a pair of transparent films, each made of a thermoplastic EVA composition comprising about 3 to 18% by weight of vinyl acetate and about 97 to 82% by weight of ethylene prepared by a thermoforming process and by being bonded to each other, while hot, under pressure thereby forming a releasable boundary between the paired films.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
73 words
A card as defined in claim 14, wherein the pair of films of the film laminate are sandwiched between a pair of card substrates each one constituting a cover seal for another, joined foldably with each other and in which each outer surface of the pair of films is secure to each of the folded card substrates and said film laminate is fused securely by heat-sealing applied along at least one edge thereof.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
61 words
A card as defined in claim 6, wherein the cover seal is constituted as another separate card substrate, and pair of films of the film laminate sandwiched between paired substrates are heat-sealed along one edge thereof so that said laminated card substrates can be unfolded into each of the card substrates while remaining joined along said heat-sealed edge as a hinge.
