Abstract
Abstract Linerless label stock is produced from a single substrate utilizing a coating machine by moving the substrate through the coating machine and applying a tie coating to the substrate first face, a release coating to the substrate second face, and a pressure sensitive adhesive to the tie coating. The tie coating comprises a dispersion of a pigment, such as silica, with a binder, such as polyvinyl alcohol. The substrate is cut to form individual labels, and is rolled up into a roll with the release coated second face on the outside of the roll. Printing may be applied to the substrate prior to coating, or to the release coating.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
125 words
A method of making linerless labels using a coating machine, and a substrate having first and second faces, comprising the steps of: (a) continuously moving the substrate in a first direction through the coating machine; (b) with the coating machine, applying in a predetermined sequence to the moving substrate a tie coating coat consistently essentially of about 30-40 parts silica dispersion, about 20-35 parts polyvinyl alcohol, and about 30-40 parts water to the substrate first face, and further applying a release coating to the substrate second face, and a pressure sensitive adhesive to the tie coating; (c) cutting the substrate to form individual labels; and (d) rolling the substrate into a roll, with the release coated second face facing to an outside of the roll.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
125 words
A method of making linerless labels using a coating machine, and a substrate having first and second faces, comprising the steps of: (a) continuously moving the substrate in a first direction through the coating machine; (b) with the coating machine, applying in a predetermined sequence to the moving substrate a tie coating coat consistently essentially of about 30-40 parts silica dispersion, about 20-35 parts polyvinyl alcohol, and about 30-40 parts water to the substrate first face, and further applying a release coating to the substrate second face, and a pressure sensitive adhesive to the tie coating; (c) cutting the substrate to form individual labels; and (d) rolling the substrate into a roll, with the release coated second face facing to an outside of the roll.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
