A heat transfer label, a method of manufacturing a heat transfer label and a method of labeling untreated or minimally treated polyethylene, polypropylene polymers and polyethylene-polypropylene copolymer containers and sheets that are at room temperature or heated up to 180 degrees Fahrenheit, entail providing a heat transfer label that includes a support portion and a transfer portion over the support portion for transfer of the transfer portion from the support portion to the article upon application of heat to the support portion while the transfer portion is placed in contact with the article. The transfer portion comprises a single or multiple color design. The transfer portion then is transferred from the support portion to the article.

A method of labelling an article is carried out by providing a heat-transfer label that includes a support portion and a transfer portion over the support portion for transfer of the transfer portion from the support portion to the article upon application of heat to the support portion while the transfer portion is placed in contact with the article. The transfer portion comprises a single or multiple color design. The transfer portion then is transferred from the support portion to the article. The method is particularly well-suited with silane-treated glass containers of the type that are subjected to pasteurization conditions, regardless of whether the glass containers have been pre-treated previously with polyethylene, oleic acid, stearate or the like.

Method of labelling an article

The present printing process provides a multilayer coating system comprising a low viscosity, latent, heat-curable thermoplastic adhesive layer, colored ink interlayer, and an abrasion-resistant top lacquer layer that can be utilized for production of heat transferable labels suitable for labeling bottles and other containers that are subjected for over ten cycles to immersion in heated aqueous sodium hydroxide solution for cleaning prior to re-use.

A heat-transfer label is particularly well-suited for use on silane-treated glass containers of the type that are subjected to pasteurization conditions, regardless of whether the glass containers have been pre-treated previously with polyethylene, oleic acid, stearate or the like. The heat transfer label comprises (a) a support portion consisting of a sheet of paper or film overcoated with a layer of releasable material such as polyethylene and (b) a transfer portion over said support portion for transfer of the transfer portion from the support portion to an article, upon application of heat to the support portion, and placing the transfer portion in contact with the article.

A heat-activatable, alkali-removable labelling system comprises a support portion and a transfer portion over said support portion for transfer of the transfer portion from the support portion to an article upon application of heat to the support portion while the transfer portion is placed in contact with the article. The transfer portion comprises an optional, optionally alkali-removable, organic solvent soluble acrylic protective layer; an optionally alkali-removable, organic solvent soluble ink layer over said protective layer; and an alkali-removable, heat-activatable, organic solvent soluble acrylic adhesive layer over said ink layer.

An improved sling for maintaining a patient's hand in an elevated position while permitting substantially unrestrained mobility of the patient's shoulder consists essentially of an arm strap wrappable about the patient's upper arm and lower arm to form a loop with overlapping end portions having surfaces which face each other. These overlapping, facing surfaces are provided with removable adhesive material, such as hook-and-loop material so as to form (when the elbow is bent) an arm loop of adjustable length to establish the bend of the patient's elbow and elevation of the patient's hand. A palm band (or hand loop) for receiving and locating the patient's hand in predetermined position is fixed to one end portion of the arm strap, the latter having a length and width matched to the size of the patient's arm.
