A variety of adhesive laminates are described, many of which perform functions such as liquid indication, outgassing, liquid retention, electrical conducting, and sound channeling. Also described are adhesive regions on face materials in which the regions exhibit particular dimensional proportions. Methods involving direct and transfer coating of adhesives are also described. In a particular version, a method of roll to roll transfer coating of sprayed pressure sensitive adhesives is described. Also described are various adhesive films and laminates many of which can be produced using the methods.

Adhesive laminates and method for making adhesive laminates

Methods of preparing extended content labels from prefabricated adhesive assemblies are described. The methods do not require delamination or relamination of the prefabricated adhesive assemblies. The prefabricated adhesive assemblies include a transparent face layer and an adhesive layer sensitive to radiant energy. Extended content printing is applied to a front face of the face layer. A mask is positioned between the adhesive layer and a radiant energy source. Radiant energy not blocked by the mask reduces the adhesion of irradiated portions of the adhesive layer. A floodcoat is applied over the extended content indicia, and front side indicia is applied over the floodcoat and is visible through the face layer and adhesive layer from a back side of the face layer.

Clear extended content label with selectively detackified adhesive

Adhesive compositions are described which can be selectively detackified or deadened. Articles using such adhesive compositions are also described. Also described are techniques in which select regions of adhesive layers in the articles are detackified. Also described are systems and methods using the various articles and adhesive compositions. And particular label constructions are described.

Articles, compositions, systems, and methods using selectively detackified adhesives

Paper coatings, coated papers, and printed coated papers are described. The coatings promote adhesion and retention of UV curable printing media such as UV curable inks. Also described are systems and processes for forming the coated papers and printed coated papers.
