The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a metal foil laminate which may be used for example to produce an antenna for a radio frequency (RFID) tag, electronic circuit, photovoltaic module or the like. A web of material is provided to at least one cutting station in which a first pattern is generated in the web of material. A further cutting may occur to create additional modifications in order to provide additional features for the intended end use of the product. The cutting may be performed by a laser either alone or in combinations with other cutting technologies.

Foil laminate intermediate and method of manufacturing

The present invention relates to a multi-layer oriented shrink film comprising at least one skin layer comprising a polystyrene material and at least one core layer comprising a polyolefin layer. The films are preferably primarily oriented in either the machine or the cross direction. These films are ideally suited for use as a shrink label which can be applied either as a CD shrink sleeve or applied using a continuous roll process. The films ideally have an overall density of less than 1.0 g/cm, to facilitate recycling efforts.

Oriented multi-layer shrink labels

A heat shrinkable label comprises (A) a heat shrinkable film comprising at least one thermoplastic polymer, and (B) a curable adhesive comprising (1) at least one urethane (meth)acrylate resin having an average of about 1 to about 1.6 (meth)acrylate groups per resin molecule, (2) at least one tackifier, and (3) at least one photoinitiator, where the film has an ultimate shrinkage at 135&#xb0; C. of at least 15%, and the adhesive has sufficient precure tack, wherein the loop tack of the uncured adhesive is at least 4.3 g/cm. The heat shrinkable label is useful in high-speed industrial processes such as beverage container labeling.
