Process for manufacturing self-adhesive multilayer label

Abstract

A process for preparing self-adhesive multilayered labels which comprises the steps of printing main and supplementary label messages on a label stock simultaneously by a label printer, cutting the label stock thus printed into halves, and then superimposing the halves of the label stock thus cut in a manner so that the face paper carrying the supplementary label message is releasably superimposed on and in alignment with the face paper carrying the main label message. After printing the main and supplementary label messages simultaneously in two parallel rows, the label stock is cut lengthwise into halves. One half of the label stock is peeled off its release paper and its face paper alone is forwarded on the conveyer line. The other half of the label stock is forwarded on the conveyer line together with its release paper. Either the face paper without the release paper or the other face paper with the release paper is adjusted of its feed track on the conveyer line so that the face papers may be put together in alignment to form a final product label stock.
