Definitions

• the invention relates to a method for labeling the packaging of products the label of which is to be changed periodically or according to the content of the packaging, in particular of cassettes or boxes containing a rewritable data carrier.
• Labels are provided at the same time as the product, intended to identify the type of recording and / or the content of the recorded data. These labels are supplied in the form of a strip or a sheet supporting a plurality of self-adhesive labels arranged side by side, each being separately detachable and adhering by self-adhesion to one face of the protective cassette provided for this purpose. effect.
• the labeling process according to the invention is proposes to remedy these drawbacks by providing for a supply of blank labels directly on the cassette or the box containing the rewritable data medium; in this way, the supply of labels is always available and one can always have a blank label on which it is possible to write with any suitable means.
• these labels will be arranged in a batch of superimposed labels, glued one on the other, the upper label can easily be detached when its wording has expired, revealing the following label including a surface d
• the writing is ready to receive the appropriate wording.
• the number of labels provided in the batch will be adapted to the desired use, it could be one or a few tens for example.
• an edge of the latter forming a tab may not be glued against the next label, which allows the label to be easily grasped and removed from the batch.
• An additional improvement may consist in alternating, from one label to the next, the edge of the non-glued label, so that one is sure when grasping a tab, that one grasp only one, in order to detach only the upper label; in other words, if for example the tab of the upper label is on the left of the batch, that of the following label will be on the right, then again on the left and so on until the bottom of the batch.
• the glue used to hold the labels together must be such that the labels are held securely together, that it is easy to remove the label from the top of the batch, without the need for it ci, the wording of which is out of date, can be pasted elsewhere.
• the glue coating the back of the last label located at the bottom of the batch may be of a different type from that coating the back of the other labels, since it will have to fix the entire batch of labels on the cassette or box containing the support data, or on a product generally made of synthetic material.
• the labels themselves can be of any suitable material, preferably paper, but can also be made of plastic or else of paper or cardboard covered with a plastic or metallic laminate.
• fig. 1 represents a video-TV cassette provided with a batch of labels according to the invention
• fig. 2 represents a partial section of a batch of labels according to an embodiment of the invention.
• fig. 3 shows a partial section of a batch of labels according to another embodiment of the invention.
• the video-TV cassette 1 of FIG. 1 has a back 10, intended to receive a batch of labels 2 indicating the content as well as the other necessary indications concerning the recording, for example recording date and time, duration, type recording, etc.
• the visible label includes an inscription surface 20 intended to receive the indications mentioned above as well as a tongue 21, which it will be easy to grasp in order to peel off the label when the indications carried over on the surface 20 are expired. , to reveal a new blank label.
• Figure 2 shows a first form of the batch of labels, where each tab is free and is not glued to the back of the label which precedes it.
• the glue 22 located on the back of the surface 20 of the upper label only covers the surface 20a of the next label, the tongue 21a of this label being free, and so on for the following labels.
• the tongue 21a is located on the other side of the surface 20, it is therefore possible, by touch or visually, to distinguish the tongue to be grasped in order to remove the label by peeling it from the lot by pulling back.
• the tongue 21 and the following may be of shape or color such that they are easily distinguishable from the rest of the label or else include a system of markers or a successive numbering in order to know the number of labels remaining in the batch. .
• FIG. 3 Another embodiment is shown in FIG. 3, where the gluing 22 of the first label also extends over the tongue 21a of the following label, so as to have only the tongue 21 visible, thus facilitating the choice of the tab to grasp to detach the upper label as before.
• This labeling process has been shown and described suitable for labeling a video-TV cassette; it obviously adapts also to many other forms of rewritable information carriers, for example to a box or a cassette containing a sound recording in the form of magnetic tape or rewritable disc, or else to a floppy disk packaging used in IT and, by extension, to any packaging or container the label of which is to be changed periodically or according to the content.
• the batch of labels supplied already glued to the appropriate place on the packaging is also available as a separate accessory, so as to allow its installation on already existing packaging, so that they can benefit they too have advantages of this labeling process, and in order to allow the batch of labels for a package to be renewed, when the original batch of labels has been used up. It is understood, then, that the back of the last label is protected by a protective sheet, which can be removed before fixing the batch of labels in the appropriate place on the packaging.
• Each label can also serve as a support for an advertisement or a brand, as the corresponding inscription appears on the tongue and / or on the rest of the label, it being understood that a sufficient blank space is to be kept for the label wording.
• the entire label, or only one of its parts, can be of a color such that it makes it possible to differentiate the type of content or recording concerned; for example, a set of labels of a certain color will be devoted to the labeling of magnetic tapes or classical music discs, another color being chosen for jazz music and yet another for song, etc.
• This batch of labels according to the process, simple of design and manufacture, is not of a cost higher than that currently supplied in the trade and allows to always have available a blank label, ready to receive a new wording .
