The invention is directed to a glass container having provided on at least one surface thereof a polymer based coating and/or a polymer label, said surface being provided with a precoating of at least one polyvinyl alcohol, underneath said polymer based coating and/or a polymer label.

Glass container with improved coating

The invention is directed to a transfer label material for image transfer, comprising a backing carrier material and a transfer layer, said transfer layer at least comprising an image layer, an adhesive layer and a pigmented layer between the adhesive layer and the image layer, said pigmented layer comprising a binder material, at least one white pigment and at least 0.1 wt. %, calculated on the basis of the pigmented layer, of aluminum powder (dry weight).

Transfer label

The purpose is to simplify the heat transfer process and extend the performance range of the corresponding installations. The purpose is achieved by arranging for opposite movements of the conveyor ( ) with the cylindrical packings ( ) and those of the conveyor ( ) with the decoration, rotating the objects ( ) by means of the movement of the conveyor ( ) and applying the necessary heat to the conveyor ( ). Such processes and devices are used in the foodstuffs and beverages industry among others to decorate cylindrical packings of different materials.

Process and apparatus for decorating packages with convex surfaces

The invention is directed to an ink-only label at least consisting of an adhesive layer, an ink-only image layer and optionally a protective layer, wherein the label, when applied to a substrate, has a water permeability coefficient, as defined herein, which is sufficient to enable fast removal of the label from the substrate with water or an aqueous alkaline solution, without destructive treatment of the said substrate.

Label, container comprising said label and method of washing such a container

The invention is directed to a returnable plastic crate provided on at least one surface with an ink only label that is removable without destructive treatment of the said surface, said label being adhered to said at least one surface by an activated adhesive layer.

Process for applying an ink-only label to a polymeric surface

A label for a glass container is preprinted with inks and adhesive on a seperable substrate and cured, and the printed label is then transferred to the container.

Label laminate for container

Labelled, returnable plastic crate

The invention relates to a transfer label comprising a backing layer and a transfer layer which is releasably attached to the backing layer. From transfer to a container, the transfer layer is detached from the backing layer. After attachment to a container, the transfer layer can be removed in an aqueous liquid under turbulent soaking conditions at a temperature of not more than 100&deg; C., preferably not more than 70&deg; C. During these conditions, the transfer layer breaks up in at least four parts wherein each part is not smaller than 5 micrometers. The transfer layers is detached from the container with a soaking time of not more than 20 minutes, preferably not more than 10 seconds. The transfer label according to the present invention has a very high adherence during storage and use conditions, and can be rapidly removed from a container such as a reusable crate for bottles, in an economic manner.

Transfer label comprising a backing layer and a transfer layer, container comprising such a transfer layer and method of removing a transfer layer from a container

The invention relates to a transfer label including a backing layer and a transfer layer which is releasably attached to the backing layer. The transfer layer includes an ink layer and on each side of the ink layer a top and bottom containment layer. The top and bottom containment layer contact one another outside the perimeter of the ink layer to form a closed envelop around the ink layer. The transfer label according to the present invention can be applied to a container such as a crate and can be easily removed therefrom in a washing process without the ink dissolving in the wash liquid.

Transfer label having ink containment layers, container comprising a transfer layer and method of washing such a container

A coating for a clear (flint) glass container that can be readily formulated to provide a wide range of colors and finishes and protect the contents from natural and ultraviolet light. When applied and cured the coating will provide increased abrasion and impact resistance and process through all container filling operations.

Glass container coating process

A topcoating for glass containers that will be abrasion resistant, present a high gloss finish, afford increased impact resistance. A method for in-line high speed application to glass containers and curing of the topcoating is disclosed. The topcoating will retain its adhesion to the glass container throughout the various food and beverage packaging operations as well as handling in the marketplace and by the consumer.

Glass container transparent coating system

A label for a glass container is preprinted with inks and adhesive on a separable substrate and cured, and the printed label is then transferred to the container. The labelled container is then coated with a protective material. The label application apparatus includes a mechanism for indexing the label web in such a manner as to minimize starting and stopping of the supply and take-up reels when labels are applied to plural containers simultaneously.

Container label and system for applying same

A thin film label, either clear or opaque, is printed with an ink layer and a multiple-layer heat-activated adhesive layer for bonding to a glass container.
